My power is my strength and speed.
I am Dragonite.
Warrior of Dragon.
Many trainers seek us for our power, and many seek me.
I've never had a trainer, human that is.
Mewtwo was my trainer and yet he wasn't.
I was under his control and to this day I don't regret it.
I will never allow myself to be caught by a human, I can't be caught.
Mostly because they will never find me.
All the trainers who want to capture me look in all the wrong places.
Seafoam, Orange Islands, Johto, even China.
But those trainers that look in such exotic places don't have a prayer of
finding me.
Think about it, where is the absolutely last area you would look for me?
If you guessed Pallet, you're right.
My territory is Pallet town to the water south of it, to the edge of Johto in
the west, to the edge of Pewter in the north.
Funny, isn't it?
I've lived a very long time, I'm the second oldest Warrior.
Marowak is the oldest since Old Onyx died.
I like this small town, the humans are friendly, I enjoy watching their
children play various games.
Although not all the humans are friendly, a street gang has slowly been
gaining power and numbers.
Last year they broke Satoshi's arm. They would have continued if a
Charizard that had been watching him had not interfered.
Satoshi is a good boy, I enjoy his music the most.
If only I had know then what I knew now, that we were to watch over
him.
His pokemon are his guardians. Only a special trainer can earn the loyalty
of all his/her pokemon and be able to talk with them all.
Technically there are 17 types of pokemon, but only 15 Warriors.
No Evil or Steel type has been able to defeat us all yet so there is no
Warrior of Evil or Warrior of Steel.
The boy, Satoshi is coming back to Pallet. I'll keep an eye out for him.
We are all to keep an eye on him, Satoshi's already met some of us.
And he did the near impossible.
He brought a true smile to the face of the Warrior of Fire.
That's no easy task I assure you.
Yawning I land in an isolated grove of trees, just for a quick nap.
It's the sound of a chase that wakes me.
Frowning I look at the school, no one should be this deep in the forest.
Not at this time of day.
The clouds above rumble and I see a small form try to crawl under a tree,
only to be caught.
I see his terrified face as he's held upside down by a muscular child.
Satoshi.
The heavens open and release a downpour, Satoshi uses their shock to
escape.
The leader sends out a Gyarados.
It's time for me to interfere.
The earth and air quake as I land with a heavy thud, glowering at the
gang.
After a very brief match with the Gyarados, which he started I should
add, they ran away.
It takes me almost ten minutes to find him, he's shivering.
Gently I land behind him and offer him to stay with me in my cave until
the storm ends.
The look on his Charmeleon face is priceless when he sees me and I'm
hard pressed not to laugh.
He's surprised at my tea set and burner.
They were a gift from a woman long ago, the burner too.
It's solar powered, during the day I leave it in the sunlight to recharge it.
We settle into a comfortable conversation, he makes a crack about
Zapdos in the middle of a hissy fit being the cause of this storm.
We also talk about Mewtwo and the rumours flying around.
He's sceptical about his existence but when I ask if he's sure he surprises
me by saying that there are some things he's not sure about some days,
Mewtwo being one of them.
That's about when we receive visitors.
I smile gently at the joy on the faces of his friends when they see he's
alright.
After a quick introduction Satoshi takes his clothes into a crevice to
change.
The sight of one of Mewtwo's pokeballs startles me into the utterance.
In my mind, I hear Mewtwo tell me not to tell the truth.
For the first time in my life I must lie.
I loathe the taste my lie leaves in my mouth, so dirty.
But it is for their safety.
I tell them what I can remember about an old legend Old Onyx once told
me, that is the truth at least and it counters the distasteful taste the lie had
left.
As I bid farewell to Satoshi, Musashi and Raptor, I pray they will make it
through the coming war.
I am Dragonite.
Warrior of Dragon.
The coming war will be vicious, but I firmly believe they will make it
through.
