Ash's confidence would grow in a different way. Usually, he starts with Pikachu and has to build up his team. Starting with Dratini, which has a lot of potential, would give him an early boost. He'd be more confident in taking on stronger opponents earlier in his journey. However, he'd also face new challenges, like dealing with people who might be jealous of his Dratini, which would further shape his character into a more well - rounded one.
Ash would likely become more responsible. Since Dratini is a relatively rare and potentially powerful Pokémon, he'd have to take extra care. This could make him think more before acting in battles and other situations.
He might become more empathetic towards Pokémon in general. Having a Dratini from the start would give him a different perspective. He'd understand the needs and feelings of his Pokémon better, and this would show in how he treats other Pokémon as well. He could start advocating for Pokémon rights more often, based on his experiences with Dratini.
Ash's character would likely become more confident. Starting with a Charizard, which is a very powerful Pokémon, would give him an edge in battles. He would also become more patient as Charizard can be difficult to train at times. For example, when Charizard refuses to listen, Ash would have to find new ways to communicate and gain its respect.
Dratini's character could be developed by showing its initial shyness. Since it's a relatively rare and often timid Pokemon, it might be scared of Ash at first. But as Ash shows kindness, Dratini could start to open up. Maybe it would show its playfulness when it gets more comfortable around Ash and the other Pokemon in his team.
In this fanfiction, Ash's character would develop in several ways. First, he'd become more empathetic towards Pokémon that are seen as difficult or 'bad tempered' like Deino. He'd have to understand Deino's needs and fears to build a strong bond. Also, his leadership skills would improve as he'd need to lead Deino in battles and on their adventures. He might also become more resourceful, finding new ways to keep Deino happy and healthy, like searching for specific types of food that Deino likes.
Ash would likely become more open - minded. Meeting a shiny ghost pokemon at the start would expose him to a type of pokemon he might not have expected so early. This could make him less fearful of the unknown in general. For example, he would be more willing to explore spooky places or deal with pokemon that have a reputation for being difficult to handle.
She might develop a more nurturing side compared to male Ash. Since she starts with a Dratini, which is a relatively delicate Pokémon at first, she would be more focused on its well - being. For example, she might spend extra time finding the perfect food for Dratini.
Their relationship might start with Ash showing kindness to Axew. Axew, being young and impressionable, would quickly grow to trust Ash. Ash would then start to train Axew, and as Axew learns new skills, their bond would strengthen. They would share adventures, face difficulties together, and rely on each other for support. Over time, they would become like family.
The plot might involve Ash's Dratini evolving quickly due to their unique connection. It could also have elements of Ash trying to prove that Dratini can be a very powerful Pokémon from the start. He might enter it into Pokémon contests and battles, showing off its unique moves and abilities.
In this fanfiction, Ash could develop better strategic thinking. Froakie's abilities would force Ash to come up with new battle plans. He'd study Froakie's moves and how they can be combined in different ways, thus enhancing his strategic skills. He may also become more empathetic towards Froakie as he discovers more about its nature and feelings, leading to a more well - rounded character.
Ash would likely become more confident with a Rayquaza as his starter. Having such a powerful Pokémon would give him an edge in battles, and he'd grow in his leadership skills as he commands Rayquaza. He might also become more responsible, knowing that he has to take care of such a rare and strong Pokémon.
Ash might become more conflicted. He has always been on the side of good, but with Giovanni as his father, he'd have to grapple with his family ties. He could become more secretive and brooding as he tries to figure out how to balance his own values with this newfound family connection.
