Latios!
Also known as "Blue Water City" or "Blue Jet," a Dragon Type and Psychic Type Pokémon, no, it should be said a legendary Pokémon!
It's somewhat similar to the Zapdos previously captured by Tom Rokicki, belonging to a divine beast with a herd.
When it holds a Divine Position, it is the legendary divine beast, but without such a position, it's just slightly more outstanding than ordinary Pokémon.
Just looking at the species value, actually the 600 species value of Latios isn't very different from a Quasi-God Pokémon.
The only difference might be that it skips the intermediate evolution process and can directly exhibit the demeanor a 600 species value Pokémon should have.
Natsuhiko remembered.
In the original work, Natsuhiko remembered there was a "Divine Beast Man" named Darkdo who not only had a Latios in his hand but also a Darkrai, demonstrating what real dimensionality reduction strikes are during Ash Ketchum's "Family Tournament," causing quite a splash in the fish pond.
Also, Natsuhiko remembered there was a Miss Joy in the original work who caught a Latias, as an investigator of the Alliance, a unique Joy member, who defeated Brock's brother, the then Gym Leader of Nibi Dojo, Jiro.
Besides Pokémon like Latios and Latias, there really were quite a few captured divine beasts in the original work.
Dala, the head of the Battle Factory, had an Articuno, while the head of the Battle Pyramid, Shinda, had the complete Regi Trio.
So.
When Natsuhiko saw the hatched adorable Latios, his heart was very calm...
What the hell!
This is Latios!
Even without a Divine Position, not being a true divine beast, it is still Latios!
Although not having Latias is slightly regretful.
But this is obviously much, much better than Natsuhiko expected.
He truly was worried that when the Pokémon egg shattered just now, it would be a red face poking out...
However, hatching Latios made Natsuhiko want to visit "Meteor Village" again.
At that time, he thought the other party purely wanted to be friendly by letting him pick a Dragon Egg, but now it seems the looks and actions of Granny Long guarding under the "Dragon's Nest" were full of deep meaning.
"Meteor Village" definitely holds some secrets.
If they had let him take a normal Dragon Type Pokémon egg, or a Quasi-Dragon Type Pokémon egg, Natsuhiko would have accepted it.
But there's no reason the Pokémon egg of Latios wouldn't receive special care.
Moreover.
There was a Super Evolution Stone hidden under the Pokémon egg back then.
Initially, Natsuhiko thought it was luck.
But now it seems definitely not just simple luck.
It's likely hiding some secrets he's unaware of.
Simultaneously.
It also made him understand why this Dragon Egg was so difficult to hatch.
Even though Dragon-Type Pokémon eggs are hard to hatch and take a long time, this time was too long.
It was only due to the "Flame Body" trait released by an Elite Trainer Level Larvesta's cocoon, did Natsuhiko barely see a glimmer of hope.
Moreover.
Natsuhiko and Dragapult input a lot of pure Dragon Crystal energy into the Pokémon egg, including energy from several "Dragon Scales," yet there was no sign of it being overwhelmed.
So, when Natsuhiko asked Dragapult if it could continue infusing Dragon Crystal energy inside, Dragapult said it was okay because it had long known about the extraordinary nature of the Pokémon inside?
Finally adding the blue and white striped appearance of this egg.
Actually, many things had hinted at the Pokémon inside this Pokémon egg long ago.
He just hadn't thought in that direction.
In his view, the best choice might have been Bagon since it was in the Hoenn Region and in Meteor Falls.
But thinking further, it seemed like Latios and Latias first appeared in the Hoenn Region too.
The most important thing is.
How did this Latios Pokémon egg come to be?
Could it be...
Quickly shaking his head, he no longer delved into it.
Overall, it's still...
Ac-cep-ta-ble!
Ahem.
Setting aside its identity as a Pseudo-Divine Beast, just looking at Latios's attribute combination, it's not really excellent, after all, it has weaknesses in Bug, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy Types, which don't relate much to the word excellent.
But it's not bad either, at least it resists Fighting, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, and Psychic Types, so it's balanced.
Looking again at Latios's species value.
It has a total of 600 points, the same as Quasi-God Pokémon, with a relatively balanced distribution, without obvious weaknesses, and the advantage should be Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.
So, Latios should be able to take on the role of a Special Attacker, after all, the biggest definition of Alakazam for Natsuhiko is as a core controller, while Togekiss is the Controller.
High speed has always been a training strategy that Natsuhiko likes and excels at.
"Oss~~"(◍•͈⌔•͈◍)
Just as Natsuhiko was gazing at Latios in a trance, the little Latios had completely crawled out of the eggshell.
Though it's still small due to being a juvenile Pokémon, it already possesses the full appearance it should have.
A bird-like body, streamlined overall shape, the lower half of the body is blue, with wings resembling those of a jet plane, fins-like feet, a red triangular pattern on the chest, blue and white forelimbs, triangular ears on its head, and a white pentagonal pattern on its forehead.
