Chapter 118: Manipulating the Eon Pokemon
An hour later,
Alto Mare
The 2nd phase of Kai's plan was to force the adult Latias to take him to the Secret Garden, where the Soul Dew was lying in the pool of Sacred Water.
The Eon Pokemon were legendary not only in name but also in their moves.
Kai wasn't afraid of them, not more than he was afraid of death. Fear and knowledge of one's capabilities were two different things. He wasn't her (-Latias-) match, Kai knew. Especially not when she had two young Latias and Latios to back her up.
But an even bigger reason was something else entirely.
Why worry about the legendary Pokemon when my mission isn't to fight them? Kai had quipped. Why go after the three legendary Pokemon from the beginning, when we can manipulate them freely?
Yes. Kai's mission was to use the Soul Dew, following the instructions and data given to him by the movie, and use it to get the egg. That's it. Everything else was secondary. That's where Bianca came in.
Kai had seen the special bond she had with the legendary Pokemon in the movie. If he was right, which he knew he was, then he could coerce Latias to do his bidding, using Bianca's life as a bargain.
What a fantastic weakness these creatures have, Kai thought, heavy gusts of wind hitting him across his face. So powerful, and yet weak hearts. Love brings strength, they say. Fools! Love brings nothing but weakness. Let me show the world that though I am not a match for Latias, I can still treat her like my bitch. Heh!
Kai was hovering high in the sky, well above the reach of all eyes.
