Jason and the Fleece of Hoenn
Foreword
Welcome Dear Reader to another one of my Pokémon tales set before the invention of the Poké Ball. This one is inspired by the ancient Greek myth of TheArgonaut Expedition (η Αργοναυτική εκστρατεία), commonly known as Jason and the Golden Fleece or Jason and the Argonauts.
If you don't know the original story, you can easily follow along like any other Pokémon fanfic. If you do know it, I hope you don't mind the liberties I've taken with the characters and plot to present an original story with its own surprises. My story is a mixture of adventure, fun, Pokémon battles, romance and intrigue and I hope you enjoy it.
Please review and say what you don't like as well as what you like!

Prologue
The man huffed and panted as he moved forwards. He thought he had reached the limits of his endurance hours ago, but somehow he found the strength to trudge onward. He was confident that he had evaded his pursuers back in the twists and turns of Mount Silver. His cargo was precious, and the long journey had brought the two infants he was carrying enough suffering. He needed to reach his destination before nightfall, and Viridian Forest was unfamiliar territory.
Lucario. He had to find Lucario and hope that he would take them and raise them. If he refused, the man had no strength to continue, and both the human infant and the Pokémon hatchling would surely die.
And the hope of his people would die with them.
