Description
A portly Dragonite endeavors to impress a she-Dragonite with his flying skills, accomplishing the opposite. The Pokedex says that Dragonite are as intelligent as humans. That has some pretty bizarre implications. I mean, it's one thing capturing a Slowpoke or a Tauros and making it a fighter/pet/beast of burden, those kinds of Pokemon aren't particularly bright and probably barely know what's going on. Especially the Slowpoke.

It's like if you domesticate a feral mouse, it's probably not sitting beneath the upturned coconut half in it's cage, absentmindedly nibbling a cashew while it contemplates the lifelong implications of it's loss of freedom. It's not gonna flip it's water dish upside down, gather round the makeshift table with George Mouseington and Thomas Squeakerson to write up a Declaration of Independence on a particularly generous piece sawdust bedding. It's probably just psyched about all the food and the fact it doesn't have to deal with predators anymore. Add a few companion mice to the mix and change the scenery from time to time and that little guy's set for life.

But owning a Pokemon that's operating at the same intellectual level as a human? That sounds... awkward. And extremely unethical. And a verdammt good way to get a Pokemon uprising on your hands. Imagine watching some kid trying to bribe it's Dragonite into playing fetch for a Pokepuff and he's like "Perhaps later, human. I'm busy reading The Communist Manifesto."
