CHAPTER 1: GAINING A DREAM

It was a beautiful day in Kanto pallet town where a 7 year old Ash Ketchum is currently out playing near the forest where the wild pokemon reside. He was playing with a ball by himself, because Gary once again made fun of him about his knowledge of pokemon.

It frustrated him to no end that just because Gary had professor Oak as a grandfather and was good at mesmorizing facts of pokemon. That he could do whatever he wanted to others, he was disrupted from his thoughts when his ball rolled into his forest and followed it.

As he got to where he spotted the ball and went to pick it up, it was then that he noticed that he was in a rather large shadow.He looked up and froze at what he saw, what stood before him was a a huge Rhydon at least twice as large as a normal Rhydon.

He looked into it's bloodshot eyes and knew if he didn't move he wouldn't see tomorrow but before he could move a blur shot pass him. The Rhydon was planted through four tree's before it landed in a heap. He stared in awe at what landed in front of him stood a large bipedal pokemon with orange skin was a majestic Dragonite.

He was mesmerized with the. dragon type pokemon unable to comprehend the amount of power it possessed. It was only then that he noticed another being was there, a human, that he immediately recognized as the champion of the Kanto and Johto region the dragon master Lance. "Hey you're dragon master Lance the Kanto champion, thank you for saving me. If you hadn't I would be a goner." Said Ash.

Lance smiled, "It was no problem kid I was on my way to professor Oak when I saw that abnormally large Rhydon and investigated. I saw you in trouble and intervened." Explained Lance.

"Let's get you to Prof. Oak okay." Said Lance. Ash only smiled and nodded and so Lance returned Dragonite to his pokeball and walked to prof. Oak.

They reached prof. Oak's laboratory in no time, they entered the lab and was met with an amusing sight prof. Oak was snoring on pile of paperwork mumbling something underneath his breath.

Lance walked to the pokemon prof. And started shaking him while calling his name, it instantly worked as prof. Oak shot up and shouted, "no paperwork don't eat me I'm to fabulous to be consumed." Ash and lance couldn't hold it in and laughed loudly startling the incoherent prof.

The prof. Looked to where the sound was coming from and saw Lance and ash before saying."Ah Lance I was expecting you, but what are you doing here Ash?" Asked the puzzled prof. Lance answered the prof. By explaining what happened to ash in the forest. Oak sighed "Ash you shouldn't be playing so close to the forest, I shudder to think what would have happened had Lance not been there." Said Oak.

"I know professor I promise I won't be playing near the forest anymore. It's just that Gary is so mean to me sometimes, just because I don't know as much as him about pokemon." Replied Ash who was clenching his fists while looking down to the floor. Lance looked on with sympathy while prof. Oak sighed at that before saying that he knew Gary could be arrogant at times, but he shouldn't let Gary get to him.

Before he turned to Lance "So have you got the data with you I have to admit I am rather excited at what prof. Birch wanted me to look over." Said a rather excited Oak. To which the champion replied with a nod and handed over a disk, which the pokemon professor took and immediately started going through the data on his computer.

Lance looked over to ash and said "Hey Ash let's go as the professor is not paying anymore attention to us." Which ash nodded and both left.

Ash and lance arrived at a lake before sitting down. "Hey lance what was the name of that pokemon you used to beat that Ryhdon. That Ryhdon what happened to it, we can't leave it in the forest the pokemon." Said a panicked Ash not wanting to think what damage such a high level pokemon could do the wild pokemon.

Lance placated Ash, "Don't worry I placed that Rhydon in a special pokeball, you see that Rhydon belonged to a pokemon hunter I took down last night it managed to escape. Which was why it was out in this area and to answer your first question it's a Dragonite." Replied Lance.

Ash nodded to that and asked another question on his mind "I keep hearing you're a dragon master but what does that mean?" Asked ash. "It means just that I've spent my life mastering just one type of pokemon dragons, learning their strengths and how to overcome their weaknesses. I just find dragon types so fascinating how they have the potential to gain such overwhelming power and that it takes a strong willed trainer to tame them and unlock their potential." Said Lance with so much passion that ash could feel his strong connection with the pokemon.

Ash stood up and said with such conviction, "Then I will become a dragon master too and when I'm strong enough I'm gonna become the Kanto regional champion and defeat you, this I promise."

Lance smiled at that and stood up too releasing Dragonite, "then Ash I will wait for you at the top and when we meet again it will be for the Kanto championship." Replied Lance with a smile before gaining a thoughtful look then taking out a pokeball.

He looked ash in the eye before extending his hand with the pokeball in it before placing it in Ash's hands and closing them around it. "The pokemon in that ball was given to me by Dragon master Drake of the Hoenn elite four. Mind you it just hatched but I think he would be an excellent patner for you, it will test your mettle as an aspiring dragon master. May he serve you well."

Ash just looked at the pokeball with reverence before replying,"Thank you so much I promise I will take good care of him." Lance smiled at that before turning around with a short wave, "until we meet again Ash Ketchum, I look forward to watching you grow as a pokemon trainer."

Before hopping on Dragonite's back and with a might flap of its mighty wings took off into the air and soared through the sky. Ash looked on for a while before checking the time, seeing as he still had some time left ran to prof. Oak to get as much of information on dragon types as he could.

That's a wrap folks although this is my first story ever and my grammar is not good. Please tell me what you think is it good? Is it bad? Read and review. The next installment should be soon.
