Interesting chapter as always, looking forward to the conversation the reason as to why it took more time to revive father Latinos than ash, is more than just the fact that Ash is a mortal human, while Latios is a god a legendary Pokemon and dye to that is more complicated to revive him.
Ho-ho Is the mother interesting, are we going to get ho-ho comment on the day ash saw her?
In the explanation will il be included and clarified the relationship between the eon duo and the Beast, are they siblings? Step siblings? Uncle/aunt?

Wow… just wow…

First off, I really like the dynamic between Brock and Kaidra. That “So you breed with Pokémon” part was great. Poor Ash. He’s completely clueless. Lol.

It’s interesting reading Ozul being so knowledgeable about all that. It makes me interested what he thinks about the Legendaries overall. And I’m still wondering how he hides his emotions.

Once again, I really love how you write Ho-Oh and her interactions with the Twins. Always great to see.

This is it! It’s finally happened! What we’ve been waiting for for years! The Twins finally meet their beloved father. Man, that was a really emotional moment. I’ll admit, I did shed a few tears.

You nailed the interactions, dude. It’s what we’ve been wanting for years and you threw it out of the park.

…And yes. Having two characters named Latios looks like it was hell to write. Haha.

…It’s finally happened. The mom’s identity has been revealed.

You. absolute. JERK! You did an “I am your mother” cliffhanger! Aaaaaaahhh!

But for real, this chapter was outstanding and it was worth the wait. This changes the whole game.

Can’t wait for the next chapter (which will he absolute hell for you, I’m sure. Payback for that damn cliffhanger)

FINALLY! (Still kinda bummed it isn't Reshiram, but I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised.)

I loved this whole chapter. Beautifully written, and the family reunion was fantastic. I particularly loved how Latios, despite always being stoic and level-headed, doesn't hesitate to break down.

Not much to comment on this time around, given that you already know my thoughts on the OTHER event of this chapter. But all the same, very well done!

Opening up this chapter, I still think that the interactions between Latios and Skai are really cute. It’s an interesting interaction between two characters who you wouldn’t immediately think would click so well together. But when you think about it, it makes sense that they would become friends so quickly since they do have a lot in common.

The way you describe Rayquaza as just appearing instantaneously without even a slight disturbance of the air to signal his arrival is quite eerie. The idea that such a creature can just appear out of nowhere without any sort of warning is a frightening idea. Good thing he’s friendly…to the twins and their humans anyway.

If Skailyn’s soul had been split into two different bodies, would she have seriously just shrugged off that sort of trauma and still be able to capture Azrael effortlessly? I know that she has divine pain tolerance, but I doubt even she could so quickly shrug off the feeling of her soul being split apart into 2 separate beings! She’d have to be pretty damn fast to do such a thing.

Also, if Skailyn is THAT fast, what stopped her from just steamrolling past the titans and killing Azrael before the gengar could even have the chance to do his whole shadow tag/Jade Orb combo? I apologize if this comes off as nitpicking since this is always an issue when writing characters who are ridiculously overpowered and then having to come up with something that challenges them.

Anyway, back to the current chapter. It was interesting to see how you wrote Rayquaza’s interaction with his daughter, as it gives the reader an idea as to what familial relationships look like among legendaries. I like how their relationship comes off as what one might see between a king and his child, where there’s genuine affection mixed in with an atmosphere of duty and expectations.

Interesting how Latias’ empathic senses allow her to sense the emotions felt by even the higher-ranking legendaries. Makes me wonder if legendaries have the ability to hide their emotions and Ray and Skai are simply comfortable allowing their emotions to be visible right now.

Latios is amusing when he tries to be overly formal and serious. Though I do feel bad for all his social awkwardness and insecurities. Being a teenager is always awkward, especially when you don’t know what to expect from other people or how they want you to act.

Imagine, when the twins go to visit Ho-Oh they see her wearing a T-shirt that says, “Proud Member of the ‘Not Saying Anything to The Twins’ Club.”

I wonder what relationship Arceus must have with the other legends for them to have such a negative history with the plates. The fact that Azrael was able to get ahold of some of them, and the fact that they can be used to control the legends against their will, does hint at a potentially negative relationship between Arceus and his children. I mean, back when he had the plates he could presumably have used them to force the other legendaries to do whatever he said.

Skailyn admonishing Latios for his jumping to the most violent solution comes off as a little hypocritical considering how destructive legendaries like her can be when provoked. Latias is also being a bit hypocritical in her disapproval considering her own violent feelings towards Azrael.

A part of me does sympathize with Latios’ preference towards violence. After all, I doubt anyone is going to lose sleep over the deaths of men like Rico, Tabitha, or Amber. When faced with evil people who engage in such vile activities as slavery or terrorism, it’s natural to feel anger and the urge to exact punishment.

On the other hand, though, it’s not good to use violence indiscriminately and especially if it’s not necessary. Rico wasn’t a threat anymore by the time Latios executed him, and was already going to spend the rest of his life rotting in prison for what he did. But he also hurt an innocent child, one who was close to Latios, while also showing zero remorse for his actions. In the moment, it’s perfectly understandable why Latios did what he did without really thinking about the consequences.

I can see why Rayquaza thinks it’s a good idea to try a more diplomatic solution with Magma and Aqua. Although I get the impression that the only thing he really cares about is manipulating these violent human organizations to find the orbs, I don’t know if he cares about whatever damages they might wreak upon other humans and Pokémon in the process.

I wonder what exactly Groudon and Kyogre will do with Magma and Aqua when they start interacting with them. Will they command them to stop trying to murder innocent people? Will they get them to free all of the Pokémon they’ve enslaved, including Larvitar’s mother? It would be irresponsible to manipulate them into giving them the orbs and then just leaving afterwards.

Ash’s first words to Rayquaza are hilarious. Imagine if he greets every new legendary by comparing them to Lugia. At least Ray seems amused.

Ray and Savannah’s dialogue seems to imply that they don’t have any issue with Pokémon trainers, though they didn’t explicitly state whether or not they’re ok with Ash and his friends capturing any of Sky Pillar’s residents. This does lead into the topic of what legendaries must think about Pokémon training and whether they’re ok with it despite how it may affect Pokémon populations across the world.

Kaidra, Savannah, and Volna seem like interesting characters. Kaidra and her dreepy seem friendly enough. Funny that Kaidra thinks Brock is cute, apparently female Pokémon consider Brock to be attractive at least. Reminds me of that one disturbing scene from Gods and Mortals.

Volna doesn’t seem very fond of humans. Understandable, I’m a human myself and I’m not very fond of most of them either. Funny how her attitude reminds Bianca of herself, considering how she did try to have Latios murder Ash back when they first met at the garden. So yeah, as punishment she gets the bitchy witch ghost as her guide.

And of course, the reveal of Ozul was definitely a shock when I first read it. I’m curious how he hides his true intentions from other legendaries, especially those like Latias who specialize in reading a person’s true feelings. I’m very curious as to what his interactions with Ash will be like, considering how you earlier implied that Ash’s aura is similar to Azrael’s.

So the twins are off to meet with Ho-Oh while Ash is probably going to go get eaten by a dragon. Exciting times. I look forward to seeing what happens next.
