Saiyan Pokémon Trainer

Ch. 1. Giritina

"ETERNAL DRAGON! COME FORTH AND GRANT MY WISH!" A young teen shouts. The 7 pulsating balls that lay before him flashed with a brilliant whitish orange light and shot off into the darkened sky. The light stretched far as it went into and out of the dark clouds that had appeared. When the light vanished, a very lengthy mythical looking dragon became visible, its reflection clearly seen in the lake behind it. The dragon had the horns of a stag, sharp teeth, green scaly skin, red eyes, four toes on each foot, long flowing whiskers, a long snout, crescent shaped nostrils, and flowing green hair on its cheeks. This was the Eternal Dragon, Shenron.

"Choose your words carefully as you speak, I will make two of your wishes true."

Boomed the mighty dragon's voice. Gohan, the boy who summoned the dragon, thought of the reason he summoned Shenron. He was growing bored of his solitary life on Mt. Paozu. All his mother let him do was study, study, study. He couldn't even play with his old time friend, Icarus, a young purple dragon that had been friends with him since he was a toddler. So for the past month, Gohan snuck out at night in search of the Dragonballs so he could leave for an adventure. Gohan looked up to the mighty dragon and shouted his first wish.

"SHENRON! MY FIRST WISH IS FOR YOU TO SEND ME TO ANOTHER DIMENSION! ONE THAT CAN GIVE ME A UNIQUE ADVENTURE!"

For awhile, the dragon said nothing. A couple of minutes had went by before the dragon spoke up.

"I can not grant this wish. It is not within my power to do, but another dragon can."

Gohan looked at the dragon, confusion clear across his face.

"Do you mean that only Porunga, Namek's dragon, can grant this wish?" Gohan asked.

"No. The dragon I speak of does not belong to this world or the Dragonballs. It is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. Giratina, sole living being of the Distortion World is the dragon you must seek."

Gohan thought about how he should could get this "Giratina" to come to him. He again looked up to Shenron and spoke.

"SHENRON! I wish for something that would bring Giratina to me!"

Shenron's eyes began to glow a bright scarlet red, and as quickly as it had happened, it stopped. In front of Gohan appeared a amber colored, crystal like stone. The stone gave off an aura of dread and power.

"Your wish has been granted. Speak your final wish so I may return to my slumber"

"I wish for my capsule case to be full and labeled with whatever I might need from this world."

Again, Shenron's eyes glowed a bright scarlet red and before Gohan appeared his capsule case. Shenron's eyes went back to its non-glowing state and once again spoke in his booming voice.

"Your final wish has been granted. Farewell."

In another flash of orange and white, Shenron disappeared. The sky went back to its cloudless night sky and the 7 magic Dragonballs dispersed into different parts of the world, not to be seen for a whole year. Gohan went to pick up his two items that Shenron had given him. As soon as he picked up the crystal like stone he heard a loud screeching roar. Whatever it was, it was coming from the lake in front of him. Gohan slowly made his way to the lake, not sure what might pop out. He got to the waters edge and looked into the dark murky water. Looking into the water, Gohan saw that it was swirling and glowing a light purple and white color. Before he knew what was happening, Gohan heard another high pitched screeching roar and the swirl became bigger and gained quite an amount of speed. It was a portal! Out of the portal came a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short, thick legs. Its legs had gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. A series of red horizontal stripes can be seen running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of the dragon's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that could be claws. The wings seem to be ghost like, as they look like they are made of liquid or gas.

Gohan stared at this new dragon in awe, unsure of what to do. The dragon landed on the bank next to Gohan and stared at him.

"Are you Giratina?" Gohan asked slowly, slightly afraid to talk.

The now confirmed Giratina moved its head, showing that it was indeed Giratina.

"Can you talk? At all?" Gohan asked, this time with no fear in his voice.

Giratina opened its mouth and let out a loud high pitched screech.

"I'll take that as a no." Gohan chuckled.

Using his chi, Gohan flew to eye level with the dragon. When Gohan began to fly, Giratina stepped back a little. Apparently, Giratina had never seen a human being fly on its own before. Gohan stretched his arm out slowly so he wouldn't freak out the dragon more than he already had. He put his hand upon Giratina's head to show that he meant it no harm. Giratina let out a low rumbling sound, as if it was a giant cat purring. Gohan was happy that Giratina was trusting him so quickly.

"Hey big guy, do you think you could take me to a place where I can have an adventure? Its pretty boring here since the Cell incident 2 years ago." Gohan told Giratina.

Giratina nodded at Gohan's request and bent its head down, showing Gohan that it was OK for him to get on. Gohan quickly sat down on Giratina's back as it hovered into the air above the lake. From what Gohan could see, Giratina shot a whirlwind from its mouth that hit the lake and created another portal. Giratina dived into the portal and in doing so, it began to change its shape. The form that Giratina had taken was more serpentine then the previous form. Giratina now sported six black, ghostly streamers on its back that each have a bright red spike at the end of them. Its mouth was now hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Its legs had been reduced to spike-like protrusions and there are four more golden spikes near the edge of its tail. When they left the portal, Gohan found himself in a very odd looking place. The rust-colored landmasses were separated into tiny islands. As they flew, Gohan noticed that trees, which were spiky and incredibly tall, and rocks were simply growing out of the ground, and then they would disappear as if they were never there. Beneath the floating landmass was a spinning whirlpool of spatial clouds. Gohan could tell that this world disobeys the normal laws of physics because in some places they flew, Gohan felt the gravity change. Giratina seemed to be flying forever, passing by waterfalls, and other landmasses. After a while Giratina came to a sudden halt. The head plates that covered Giratina's mouth swung open and he let out another high pitched screeching roar that sent another whirlwind portal to open up. Giratina gave a low rumbling noise again to Gohan, letting him know that this portal was for him, and him alone.

"Your not coming with me big guy?" Gohan asked as he got off of Giratina's back.

Giratina shook its head no and nuzzled Gohan closer to the portal.

"Alright, alright, I'm going. I'll be sure to come visit you soon, OK."

Giratina seemed very pleased to hear that as it turned around and flew away in another direction.

Gohan turned towards the portal and dived head first into it and came out of another lake that had a structure in the middle of it. Gohan flew higher into the morning sky as the portal closed and noticed some very strange looking animals. The birds that he could see were small with a brownish-gray colored body. He also had seen a few small brown rodent-like creature with large front teeth that looked it could be used for gnawing on wood.

Gohan couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him. He looked around before he came across a very shocked but stern looking man. He was averagely built for an old man and had a gray mustache. His hair was spiky on top and went down to his jawline into thick sideburns. He wore a brown trench coat that stopped at his knees and a same colored tie that was tucked into a blue button up vest. By his feet was a light brown briefcase.

"Young man! How are you in the air like that! Are you using a Psychic type Pokémon to hold you up?" The old man asked.

"A Psychic type what now?" Gohan asked as he landed next to the old man.

"Pokémon. Are you telling me that you don't know what a Pokémon is? Then how were you in the air just then?"

"I was using my chi" Gohan answered as if it was the simpliest thing in the world. Gohan stuck out his hand and introduced himself. "Hi, my name is Son Gohan."

The old man grabbed and shook Gohan's hand and said "My name is Prof. Rowan, pleasure to meet your acquaintance. If you don't mind Gohan, would you come back with me to my lab? I would like to learn more about this "chi" you are talking about. In turn, I will tell you about Pokémon."

"Uhhm. . . OK, sure." Gohan said happily for he sensed no deceit coming from the Professor.

"Good choice!" Prof. Rowan stated. "There is much to learn now, hurry along".
