With all the clattering of the shed falling Squirtle decided maybe he should be fully aware for what was going on. He climbed on Matt's head and struck a defensive pose ready to protect Matt from what was going on. That was when Squirtle saw it. "Squir--" He couldn't even finish speaking. Matt finally saw and understood why. "Greetings. Are you my new Master?" "I believe so..." Matt replied, still awestruck. He continued, "Your old master, an old man, challenged me to a battle and said I could have your Pokeball as a reward. I hope you don't mind." "I will respect my old master's wishes to go with you. I am Latios, member of the Eon duo of Hoenn." "I'm Matt, and this is Squirtle. I guess we're a team now." "Well, let us move forward as a team. Climb on my back and we can discuss as we go." Matt did as Latios said, and climbed on top of Latios' back. Squirtle climbed down and sat in front of Matt on Latios. Latios then began to glide forward heading out of the Viridian City parameters.
