A long time ago, near a village called Poke Village, there lived a dragonate. He was the color of midnight and green. He was huge and covered in sharp, pointy scales. The fire he breathed could light up the night sky.

He lived in a nest high above the village in an old, dead tree. All the Pokemon and Pokeen were afraid of the dragonate.

Everyone in Poke Village was scared of the dragonate...everyone but one precocious girl and her sylveon.

Sylvia wanted to be a knight and stinky too. They were strong and brave and unafraid.

Sure, the dragonate breathed fire. But there were people with worse breath. And sure, the dragonate looked scary. But there were rockruffs in the village with scarier faces.

One day, the dragonate had come down from his nest and was hiding in the cornfields.

Everyone ran to escape the dragonate. Everyone except for Sylvia and Stinky.

Armed with homemade sword, helmet and shield, and ribbons of course for Sylvia, they ran through the deserted village toward the cornfield.

When she spotted the dragonate, Sylvia and Stinky snuck up behind him.

“Excuse me!” Stinky yelled. The dragonate roared. He lowered his head to her level. Sylvia felt the dragonate’s hot breath on her face.

“I’m Stinky,” she said. “I’ve come to tell you to go away. You’re scaring everybody.”

The dragonate’s breaths quickened. Huff! Huff! Huff! It looked like the dragonate’s fire was about to blow! Sylvia and Stinky braced themselves. But instead of fire coming out his mouth, tears began pouring down the dragonate’s snout.

“I’m so lonely. Nobody likes me,” the dragonate said.

“Why should anyone like you?” Stinky replied. “You burned down the castle.”

“I didn’t burn down the castle,” the dragonate said. “It was struck by lightning. I would never do that.”

“Wow,” Stinky said. “Sounds like you’re the victim of a smear campaign. We’ve got to fix this. What are you good at?”

“Breathing fire,” replied the dragonate.

“Well, let’s see it,” ordered Stinky.
