We start our story in the city of blackthorn. What lies in this town of dragons? We will find out now...

"Gina get out of bed right now! Your breakfast is getting cold." Clair, Blackthorn cities gym leader and mother of an only child, yelled from the kitchen. Dratini floated to it's owners head, head butting her in the process. A crashing sound could be heard from the fifteen year olds room as she fell from her bed.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow" She said rubbing her head looking at the little dragon Pokemon. "Dratini" She glared at it. "You know better then to use an attack on your own owner!" Gina fisted her hand and hit Dratini playfully on the head. "Dra-tiniii" It mewed and rubbed it's head against Gina's hand.

Gina got up and walked over to the bowl of water on her dresser. She let her hand cup and put them into the water, leaned down, and splashed it into her face. "Ahh. What a refresher!" She exclaimed and took her wash cloth to wipe the water away.

She changed from her her P-Jay's and into her traveling clothes. Gina grabbed her pack and through it over her shoulder. She checked the 5 empty Pokeballs on her belt and grabbed Dratini's Pokeball, placing it on her belt.

She patted Dratini on the head as it followed her down the stairs. "Mmmm smells good mom!" Gina said happily sitting at the table, picking up her fork ready to dig in. 'CLINK' The sound of a fork hitting the table was heard as Clair took the plate from Gina. Gina gapped at her mother and frowned uncontrollably trying to grab the plate back.

"MOM! Give it back!!!" Gina reached for her food only to have it pulled away. "You are going to go do your morning chores before you get any breakfast. As I always say No fo-"

"'No food until we feed the Pokemon' I know mother." She grumbled getting up and left for the cave. She jumped into the boat and rowed to the shrine. Gina got the Pokefood and placed five bowls in front of the shrine. Dragonite, Dragonair, two Dratini's, and other dragon type Pokemon came and ate.

Gina placed a bowl near the water so Kingdra and Seadra could eat. She looked around for Horsea and found him trying to get onto the land. Gina laughed taking a hand full of food and walking over to Horsea. She kneeled and placed her hand out smiling as Horsea ate.

When all was done Gina and Dratini went back to the cave entrance and went home to eat themselves. After breakfast Gina went to her favorite cliff to train. Just after getting there Gina began to complain to herself that it was boring and began to walk deeper into the mountains. She found a lone tree and sat under it.

'I'm really lazy. I haven't started my journey and it's been five years. I mean the first two I had to take care of mom after that Charizard incident' She shuddered at the memory of the uncontrolled fire blast. 'I'm a horrible trainer.' She sighed looking to find Dratini.

Dratini was playing with a wild Diglet and Gina couldn't help but go in her bag and take out her camera. She took a picture and smiled as it came up. Diglet was bitting Dratini's tail and Dratini had the funniest look on her face.

"Slacking off again I see, Gina." Came a voice from behind. Gina jumped and looked behind her. A boy with black hair and blue and white hoodie on was watching her take pictures. Gina smiled warmly at the boy and picked her camera up snapping a picture before the boy could refuse.

Gina got up and ran over to the boy, who was still shocked that his picture was taken with out his consent. "Gina..." He looked down at her. Tears stung to her eyes as she clutched his hoodie. "I-I'm a horrible trainer, Seth. I haven't even started my quest yet" She cried tearless sobs into his shoulder. He sighed pulling her into a hug.

"You shouldn't say that. You're a wonderful trainer... just a bit lazy." He smiled as he heard her laugh. "I'm sorry... I... showed my weak side... But I always show it to my best friend... especially when he has a tail."(1) smiled into his shoulder as he hugged her again.

"Okay! Moment over! Sooo... How was your trip Seth? Learn about breeding and what not?" She asked as if that whole moment hadn't happened. "You know, This Pokemon likes this and that Pokemon likes that. I only came home to see my family and I'll be off again. I'm headed for Kanto tomorrow." He said looking at the Dugtrio come out of the ground.

Gina watched with him in silence, taking pictures of the Pokemon and of Seth occasionally. Before they knew it the sun was setting. "I've come to a decision. I'm going to go on my own journey tomorrow. I'll start new! Me and Dratini all on our own! I'm going to miss you Seth. Maybe our paths will cross again." Gina smiled sadly and her long time friend, hugged him, took a farewell picture, and left silently.

The next morning Gina repeated the day before events and after feeding the Pokemon Gina set off to talk to her mother.

"Mom..." Gina watched as her mother paced left and right worry clear on her face. "I'm not sure about this Gina... I mean I know you want to go and all, but what happens if you get hurt? How will I find you? Who will watch after the Pokemon?" Her mother was getting too worried. That was clear. "Mom listen, every time I go to a Pokemon center I'll call you to tell you what town I'm in and what town I'm going to."

She tried reassuring her mother that she would be fine. "I still don't know about this. It's so sudden. Can't it wait?" Hey eyes had the pleading look in them. Gina sighed looking away. Clair could always get her daughter to do anything. "No mom. I could have left five years ago, but I didn't." Gina said calmly.

It was her mothers turn to sigh. She had such a persistent daughter it scared her. The trouble she could get into was huge, and the money for traveling would make her bankrupt. Being a gym leader doesn't pay that much you know?

Clair sighed again. "If you are really going to leave then I want you to go to Olivine city to pick up a package for me. You can take Dragonite if you would like. It's should take you an hour so take something to read." She smiled, picking up a knife and began to cut carrots. 'Well I'm not getting out of this. Since I'm going to be there I might as well go shopping for new clothes. Maybe do some fishing.'

Gina ran out the door to call Dragonite. She hooked up the carrier and hopped in. She told Dragonite what town to fly to and they were off. Gina pulled out her guide and looked up gym leaders. She didn't really know why she wanted to look them up since her mother was the strongest leader in Johto she already knew all of Johto's leaders. She flipped through pages and looked into the Kanto region. "Misty, Cerulean gym leader, has a fifteen year old son named Jesse. Her specialties are water type Pokemon Three older sisters. Blah blah. Lets see."

Gina read on to the next gym leader. "Brock, Pewter city gym leader. Also has a fifteen year old, female, name Susan. His specialties are rock type Pokemon. He has how many little brothers and sisters?!" She almost fell out of the carrier. "Nine?!"

Gina skimmed through the rest of the book reading some story about Ash Ketchem becoming the champion of many Pokemon leagues. "Blah blah he married Misty. Wow that's a surprise." Gina placed her book down and watched the ground go by.

She smelt the salt in the air notifying her that they were close to the ocean and that she would be able to relax for a bit. She smiled to herself and dozed off. Gina was awoken by the carrier shaking. "Dragoniteee" Dragonite roared as he landed on the ground. She hooped out and looked around, breathing in the salty air.

"I'm going fishing first. It's just to nice of a day not to." Gina said to herself as she waved her hand telling Dragonite to follow her to a fishing spot. She sat down, pulling out her rod, casting it into the ocean singing to her self as she waited for a bite. She looked back at Dragonite who was laying under a a tree.

She cussed as the ferry from Kanto arrived just as she got a bite. "Damn ship..." she said recasting the line. She watched as people got off the boat and her eyes landed on two teenagers looking around the city. Gina noticed the girl with brown and red bleached spotted hair began to walk towards her.

Gina shifted and turned back to the rod in her hand as a fish began to bite. "a little more... just a bit... a little more... GOTCHA" Gina yelled and pulled at the rod. The fish Pokemon flew into the air and...
