#muse lati

The little Latios was sleeping peacefully with the Lunatone plush, blissfully unaware, as if this was her natural spot. In fact, there wouldn't have been anything of note on her end were it not for the sudden shaking and calling out.

"...?" Lati had transformed into her human form when she heard the sound of a human as she was slowly waking up. Where... was she? "Uhn... h—hi? Uh... is friend?"

Old Chateau, Sinnoh

There weren't many visitors that came by the Old Chateau, which is why it was a good place for an Acting-Arceus and her allies to hang out in plain sight. It was also a good way to give company to the local ghosts, too. Everyone was mostly accounted for, and were free to come in and out as they pleased....

However, when a new ghost appears, the aura shift is so apparent that, while the ghosts didn't seem to mind, it did gather the attention of someone of the living.

....

....

...

The little dragon was nice and sound asleep with her Flygon plushie and with the newly added blanket. It seemed perfectly content like this.

Heidi received the text message and started to squint. While Lati is incredibly well-behaved for a child of her age, she somehow always finds a way to end up in places like this.

"Rayquaza....." Damn it, Rayquaza.

[TXT, Gloam]: Thanks. I'll reach out to the others when you send her back.

Heidi grabbed her portal gun and stormed out of her room. She shot a portal and walked through... before pushing one of the ghosts that was following her back. No need to introduce a bunch of ghosts to Sky Pillar, thanks.

Meanwhile, in the Paldea Region

Raifort and Rayquaza were sitting together on Paldea's Highest Peak. They were having a picnic as the two of them looked down at the region.

"To think that you've really overseen your region as long as you have. It's quite noble."

In truth, I could not have done so without the wishes and assistance of my children. It is them who help to keep the balance of the region and who summon me when the time is right.

"Mmm. Speaking of children, for your advanced age, you must have had many of them? After all, you seem to desire special time for even humans like myself."

Indeed. The only entities that I love more than my friends and partners are my children. I care for them to the best of my ability, and, while I may not be perfect, I will do anything for them as their parent—

Speaking of not being perfect, all of a sudden, a portal showed up before a Lati burrito was sent right through.

!!!

Rayquaza almost instinctively caught the rolled baby before inspecting her. Seems like Lati got herself somewhere she wasn't supposed to again.

"Speaking of your children, looks like you have some responsibilities, hm?"

Rayquaza nervously chuckled.

Y—yes. Uh... one moment, if you will. I must return this child to bed. I shalt not be long.

"Actually... if you want, maybe we can take the little baby to my home? We can continue our little talk there?" She winked.

Rayquaza nodded.

Of course, although I may have to use your phone to inform the dear of her whereabouts.

"I'm not lost!"

Heidi is busy bouncing her daughter up and down using her psychic powers to have a little fun with her.

Lati is enjoying being bounced up and down and all around. She's having so much fun. "Sing, Mommy! Sing!"

"Hehe. Okay, fiiiine."

As Heidi bounces her daughter around, she took a deep breath.
