when i was a small kid, the latios and latias movie was my favorite, but i wildly miscomprehended it. i was very bad at understanding stories as a small child. if you had asked me what the lore was, i would have said, latios is a pokemon thats power is that it has one wish to save the world. it activates this power, and no matter what danger the world is in, the world is saved. but each latios can only use it once, and then the latios will die. latias does not have this gift, but it exists to give birth to a new latios after the previous one dies. When i was a preteen i started writing a story on a forum called Lily of the Valley about a latias named lily who was shackled in a lab to this armor plating and forced by scientists to kill pokemon and people against her will. she broke out of the lab one day and flew down through the verdant valley outside where she was greeted by a lot of kind wild pokemon like sentrets. there was no real plot in mind. it was for her to fly around in the wind rippled grass and for her to be free
