Chapter 1: Enter the Dratini!
Ryu jumped off of Rage and recalled him then walked down a flight of stairs and then herd the voices of his Mother and Grandfather and the Local Nurse Joy talking in the hatchery…
“Father what do we do, this was going to be Ryu’s Dratini.”
“I know Claire, but it’s to weak and sick we have no choice.”
“You know I don’t like the Idea of putting down a Pokémon--- However Nurse Joy never got the chance to finish because Ryu suddenly ran into the room and stood between the three and the weak sickly Albino Dratini with Sky-blue in colored belly scales, eyes and ear fins…
“RYU I THOGHT I TOLD YOU TO DO YOUR REPORT, AND NOT COME TO THE DRAGON’S DEN TODAY!” Claire yelled at her son.
“For your information mother, that’s why I came to learn the true History of Blackthorn not that garbage the text book says about are Nobel clan!”
Ryu spat. “Stopping the death of MY Dratini is Only a bonus!”
“Ryu listen to me-----” Claire began to say but Ryu took Rage’s Pokéball off his belt.”--- I under stand Ryu you well do anything even battle me with a Magikarp to protect your Dratini, then so be it Go Horsea!”
“Eek Horsea Return! But your right son you can squash me--- Wait what am I saying, well just never mind I look forward to seeing how you battle in are match son.” Claire said.
“And to think I chose you to be the Heir of Blackthorn instead of Ryan!” the Dragon Elder said.
“Grandpa you have always said to know your Ermines, As you and my father have always said it is Criminal Organizations such as Team Rocket, Who need I remind you experiment on Pokémon.” Ryu explained “Besides all my Rare Candy really was is a Recipe for Pokemon food custom made to suit Rage’s likes and dislikes when it comes to food, which I gained experience in from helping all three of you.”
“Then why did you call it Rare Candy?” Joy asked..
“Well that’s a simple and rather funny reason, see I called my Pokemon food “Rare Candy” to give Ryan a red herring to chase for a while since he just could not understand how Rage kept beating up his Magikarp or himself for that matter.” Ryu explained with a snicker as Ryu feed his Dratini a baby bottle full of a dark greed Liquid. “Don’t worry it’s made from the seaweed and mosses that are commonly found here in the Dragon’s Den which I mixed with herbs and spices and also beetles for Protein.”
“Ryu we are sorry, we noticed how he was bingeing to get stronger the more time he spent with you, even Nurse Joy here noticed how… You know Ryu you should give him a name since there a lot of Dratini here in the Dragon’s Den and in the Shrine, you don’t want me to accidentally give him away now do you?” Ryu’s Grandfather asked.
“Well this is Ironic, see I threw my text book away, do to it saying that Dratini are nothing more then Myths, which I find ridicules do to seeing and taking care of a bunch of Dratini every single day, I mean come off it everyone in the world knows Blackthorn is famous for having many types of Dragons living in and around the City…” Ryu said.
“That’s true Ryu, I have read that Myth to when I was your age.” The elder said..
“When was that father the stone age?” Claire asked but had to duck as the Elder lifted up “The staff of Legends” and swung it over Claire’s head intently missing it by inches.
“Ryu, I say why not show the world that the creatures they think are merely just Myths and Legends are real, in fact I am surprised no one has yet to name their Dratini ’Myth’ you know I would think it be a suiting name for him… Well lets just say that it’s a sign that the last true Heir of Blackthorn is coming of age, in other words Ryu you are the last true Heir of Blackthorn.” The Elder explained.
“Hey that’s a grate idea thanks Grandpa, Ok from this day forward my Dratini will be known as Myth! ” Ryu said as a ray of sunlight poured in threw a hole in the roof of the cave and a Shinny Swablu descended and landed on Ryu‘s head.
One month later…
“Well Ryu and Ryan be careful on your way down Route 45 and Route 46 then my suggestion is to take Route 29 east to Newbark town, and talk to Professor Elm and see if he well give you an official starter, just give him the letters your father gave each of you.”
Ok Mom we well, or at lest I well I don’t know about Ryan thought although dad did say having a Pokédex dose come in handy, I mean besides being are Trainer I.D they not only allow use to skip filling out a lot of paper work they also useful for other things as well, I mean I read online how the newer models have a function that helps analyze not only undiscovered Pokémon but also plants, and it can even analyze artifacts and gives some Info on them…” Ryu explained.
“Goodbyes are such a waste of time, I can’t believe I have to travel with this Idiot who calls himself the Heir of Blackthorn and yet dose not train strictly Dragon Pokemon! I mean come off it besides his Dragonair, Altaria, Flygon, Gyarados, Charmeleon, he has a freaking Farfetch’d and a Smeargle!” Ryan spat with his Salamence by his side. “I mean he did not even properly enslave them, They hid in his Backpack when Dad took him fishing at the Lake of Rage!”
Ryu and Ryan then started their long walked down Route 45 which is large canyon that has the lower Magikarp River running down it, Route 45 is home to many wild Pokémon most of which are not suitable for Rookie trainers.
