The Beginning
Young Ash, who was 7 years old, was laughing and running around. His aura just seemed to harmonize with the Pokémon around him. All of a sudden he heard a whining pain near the river.
He couldn't believe his eyes. There, in the river, was a shiny Dratini. It had a serpentine shape, but was not the normal blue color he saw in the books. Instead, he saw a pink Dratini. However, it was currently in pain and he could see the wounds visibly. He quickly rushed over.
"Hey Dratini, are you alright?"
The Dratini quickly shied away from him, clearly scared of his presence.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'll take you to the Professor's lab to heal you."
Dratini reluctantly allowed him to carry her back. Ash had never ran as fast as he had before. A few minutes later, he barged through the back door of the professor's lab.
"Professor, come quick, I found a shiny Dratini injured in the river. You've got to heal it fast now!"
"Oh my, Ash. It is in very bad condition, but I think I will be able to heal it in no time."
Ash then proceeded to give the professor the Dratini. The Professor carried her over to a bed, and treated her for the wounds and sprayed a Super Potion. He then gave her some berries that helped her regain her energy.
"There Ash, she is good to go."
Ash was very relieved that the Dratini was okay.
"Okay Dratini, you can go now."
The Dratini seemed very conflicted. It didn't want to go out into the wild again, where she had no source of protection and food. With Ash, she felt like she already formed a bond with him, and perhaps he could train her into the strongest Dragonite ever. So, she quickly slid around Ash and onto his shoulders, and licked his face happily.
"Well Ash, seems like Dratini has taken a liking to you. It seems like she wants to stay. However, you have no experience as a trainer. But, I would like to make a proposition. I can take you under my wing for the next 3 years, and teach you all I know about Pokémon. That way, you can learn more about how to take care of a dragon such like Dratini, and other Pokemon you catch on your jouney."
Ash couldn't believe it. He could be well on his way to become the greatest Pokemon master ever. Since he was young, he couldn't help but be entranced by the powerful Pseudo Legendaries, or Pokemon that was similar to a dragon. That was his goal, and his journey started now.
"Alright, let's do it!"
