Chapter 1:- Bagon
The morning sun stretched across the jagged peaks of the Borius Region, painting the icy cliffs and verdant valleys in shades of gold and amber. A chill wind swept through the highlands, carrying the crisp scent of snow and pine, and with it, a sense of anticipation that seemed to hum through the air. Nestled among the hills, Skyreach City gleamed like a jewel a bustling hub where ancient myths intertwined with modern technology.
At the top of the city's tallest tower stood Aden, the reigning Champion of Borius. Even from a distance, his presence was imposing: tall, composed, with a gaze that carried both warmth and authority. He had spent years mastering the skies with dragons and other powerful Pokémon, earning him the title of Dragon Master across the region. Today, however, his attention was fixed not on the horizon, but on a smaller figure climbing the tower steps below.
"Sero! Wait up!" Aden called, his deep voice carrying through the morning air.
Sero, panting lightly from the climb, stopped at the top. His dark hair was tousled by the wind, and his green eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Today was his 11th birthday the day he would finally take his first steps as a Pokémon Trainer. And today, his father had promised him a gift unlike any other.
"Morning, Dad," Sero said, trying to sound casual, though his heart pounded in his chest. "You're up early."
"I could say the same," Aden replied, his voice carrying a rare softness. He extended a hand, and in it rested a small, wriggling Pokémon with deep blue scales and a determined glint in its eyes. Its head was large in proportion to its body, and jagged ridges ran along its back.
"Bagon," Aden said, as if naming the future itself. "It's yours. From this day, it will be your partner. Treat it well, and it will help you soar higher than you ever imagined."
Sero's eyes widened. He knelt to take the little Pokémon into his hands. Bagon wriggled, letting out a small, excited roar, then pressed its tiny head against Sero's chest. In that instant, Sero felt a spark a connection that went beyond trainer and Pokémon. It was a bond that would define the rest of his journey.
"It… it's amazing," Sero whispered, a grin spreading across his face. "Thanks, Dad!"
Aden's expression softened, though his tone remained firm. "Bagon is strong, but it's also untrained. You'll need patience, courage, and heart. That's how you become a true Trainer… and maybe one day, a Master."
Sero's chest swelled with determination. He had grown up hearing stories of the legends who walked the world. Red, Blue, Lucas, Brendan, Ash, Leon, Cynthia trainers whose names inspired awe across regions. Yet now, holding Bagon in his hands, Sero felt that maybe, just maybe, he could carve his own path alongside them.

As Sero and Aden looked out over the sprawling lands of Borius, the region stretched endlessly before them:
To the north, towering glaciers and icy peaks formed a jagged crown over the land, home to resilient Pokémon adapted to the harsh cold.
To the south, volcanic mountains bubbled and steamed, rivers of molten lava carving paths through fertile valleys.
The east shimmered with vast forests and crystal-clear rivers, where sunlight danced through dense foliage and ancient ruins whispered of long-lost myths.
And the west opened to tempestuous seas, where waves crashed against cliffs, harboring Flying-types and Pokémon that thrived in stormy skies.
Borius was a land of extremes, a region that tested both trainer and Pokémon alike. Its history was steeped in legends stories of titanic Pokémon that shaped the world, of trainers whose bonds transcended the ordinary, and of a League that produced Champions capable of facing any challenge.
Aden placed a hand on Sero's shoulder. "This is your home, Sero. These lands, these Pokémon… they will challenge you, teach you, and shape you. But never forget strength is nothing without heart."
Sero nodded, gripping Bagon tightly. "I won't forget. I'll make you proud, Dad… I'll make my own legacy."

Later that morning, Sero packed his bag with essentials: Pokéballs, potions, a map of Borius, and a small notebook where he intended to record his experiences. His heart raced with anticipation. Today, he would leave the comfort of home, the guidance of his father, and step into a world full of unknowns.
Standing at the edge of Skyreach City, he looked back once at the towering figure of Aden, who watched silently from the balcony of the Champion's Hall. Sero could feel both the weight of expectation and the thrill of freedom.
He knelt and looked at Bagon, whose small eyes met his with unwavering trust.
"Ready, Bagon?" Sero asked.
Bagon let out a roar that echoed across the city, shaking leaves from the trees and sending birds into the sky.
Sero laughed, a mixture of excitement and nerves. "Let's go, partner. Let's start our journey."
With that, he stepped onto the path that led out of the city, unaware of the challenges, rivals, and mysteries that awaited him. Far above, storm clouds gathered over the northern peaks, lightning flickering like a warning. Somewhere in the shadows, forces long forgotten were stirring.
And as the wind carried the cries of distant Pokémon across the valleys, a single thought burned in Sero's mind:
"This is only the beginning."

Sero has just begun his journey. Ahead lies the vast, wild lands of Borius, his first rival, and whispers of a dark force that even the greatest trainers have yet to confront. The story of his legacy has begun.
