Floaroma Town.
After successfully catching Latias and Latios, Li Wei let them out of their Poké Balls.
Li Wei had caught Latias and Latios to battle, in preparation for the Master League.
Though they were not strong enough to become his aces, they would definitely become mainstays of Li Wei's team.
The main reason he had managed to catch Latias and Latios so quickly this time was the Eon Flute.
Once he played the Eon Flute, Latias and Latios would hear its musical summons and come to him.

Latias replied excitedly,
"That's right! He's my big brother!"
Latios nodded. "I hatched first. My little sister hatched some time later."
As for how much later, he had no idea.
They had been out at sea back then,
