Draven Titus was a skilled trainer. He hadn't gotten all eight badges to prove it yet but he would overcome the distance to prove he was worthy. As soon as he was done in Mahogany Town, he would buy the necessary gear he needed to pass through the Ice Cave then nothing would be in his way.

While he was in Mahogany Town he decided to take a small break to catch a few new Pokemon. Completing his Pokedex wasn't on his to-do list but he liked being able to have plenty of different types to switch out during battles. Sticking to one single type was not his style, nor did it prove to always be the smartest thing to do. While he was in the grass looking, he came across a rare Pidgeotto with strange colors, proving it was one of the more powerful of its kind. He ran after it, doing what he could to try to paralize it with Ampharos. The bird kept dodging the attacks, flying farther into the forest. At the first chance Draven had to throw a pokeball the Pidgeotto flew off out of sight.

"Well that was a bummer. We we close too. You did very good, Ampharos, so get some rest," he said as he held out a specific ball for the pokemon to return to.

Draven gave a sigh and crossed his arms as he thought about his team. They were all friendly towards the trainer, but sometimes not towards each other. That was only a part of life, no matter what kind of creature you were. His thoughts got interruped by loud rumbling, ending with a thud. "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to return him yet."

He stood with his arm ready to release one from his team in defense but after that last thud was silence. He still waited just in case something would come for him but nothing did. Out of curiosity he walked towards the noise as quietly as he could to see what it was. Slowly he came to see something mostly blue up ahead. As he got closer he saw what it was and stopped in awe.

Suicune was laying on the ground before him. Draven was a little starstuck seeing her but rushed over to her. It was obvious she was in pain while unconscious. A potion would barely touch her wounds, not to mention the burn on her leg. There was no telling what could've happened to her. She didn't look as young as the pictures he'd seen of her, so maybe she lacked the experience. He shoved the thoughts aside and reached into his bag for a great ball. It felt wrong doing it but there was no other way for her to get help quick enough without being seen.

The pokemon was captured without a problem. It wouldn't even have the strength to fight back if it was awake. Draven placed the pokeball back into his bag just so no one would see it. He pulled out another ball to release an Arcanine. It stared at Draven, knowing that the legendary pokemon was injured.

"Come on, boy. Getting to the pokemon center is the only way she's going to be able to get help," he said as he climbed onto the dog's back. Then he took off, racing to get back to town. When the got to the center he didn't even bother to get off until they were inside.

Nurse Joy was talking to one of the younger children with his parents as a happy Oddish began to wonder off. She was quickly interrupted by Draven when he dismounted his Arcanine and ran to her.

"Oh, Draven, what a nice suprise," she said.

"Nurse Joy, I need your help. Now," he said as he shoved the blue pokeball into her hands.

A talent that Nurse Joy had, but kept secret was that she could sense the pokemon inside their balls, their kind, how badly they're hurt, their relationship with their trainer. As soon as the ball hit her hands she gasped. She took it and ran towards one of the doors by the counter. "Chansey! We have to do an operation quickly," she called. The pink pokemon followed her into the room.

Draven returned Arcanine then waited in the operation waiting room quietly. He didn't want to worry since Nurse Joy was the absolute best help any pokemon could get, but there was the doubt that Suicune was waiting too long.

Draven had fallen asleep waiting on hearing something about the poor creature. She was now his since she was captured but she was meant to be free. He was woken up by something shaking his arm. His eyes opened to see the nurse standing in front of him.

"Draven. She's alright. You found her just in time," she said.

His eyes looked at the time to see several hours had passed. "You've been in surgery all this time, Nurse?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yes. I'll have to rest soon but she is able to recover now. Come, I'll show you to her," she said as she began to led him towards the room.

Draven was led to one of the rooms closest to the lobby, assuming it was close so Joy could have the chance of rushing to a pokemon that was not quite able to heal on its own. The room was almost all white, just some blue accents here and there. He could hear multiple machines running at once. He walked over to the bed and did not see a creature, but a young woman.

"Um, Nurse Joy? This isn't Suicune," he said quietly.

Nurse Joy grabbed his arms and leaned in close so only he could hear. "You are now her caretaker. Which means no matter what form she is in, she is yours." She paused to look at her. "Legendary pokemon have a secret that only we know. For a short time in their early stage of life they can turn into a humanlike form. They will have some physical characteristics but they can walk among us like anyone else.

"The only way she can continue healing is being in this form. No one would be able to tell her true identity." She paused for a moment. "I'm sorry but she cannot stay here for too long. Her brother, Entei has gone about a rage recently and Raikou is no where to be found. It is up to Suicune to stop him but she cannot do it in this condition."

Draven looked at the girl, feeling like he stepped into something bigger than he should have but he knew he had taken the responsibility on his own choice. She had a huge path before her but she could not do it without help.

"Is there something I can do now to begin helping her? If she can't stay long then we can go to Blackthorn City just to keep Entei from coming here and destroying this town."

Nurse Joy nodded as she let go. "For the rest of the night get some rest. I can have you exhausted after all. Then I need you to pick up some clothes for her. Size three might fit her well since she is so small. She will need her arms and legs covered because she has markings that might give her away. I will sort out the medication she will need to take and give it to you when you leave." She walked over to the machine hooked to the IV bags and pressed a few buttons. "Draven. You are about to be a part of adventure no one has been through. Suicune will need you to help her, help everyone, for this battle."

Draven walked to the nearest motel, the words echoing in his mind. Could it be possible that these legendary pokemon have been walking in plain sight around humans all along? The thought was quite exciting but he stayed calm. He paid for a room then settled in. The Ice Cave would be quite a bit of a task in the morning so he would need to prepare for two of them. He closed his eyes and began to snore.
