Ash's Dragonite (Japanese: サトシのカイリュー Satoshi's Kairyu) was the first Pokémon caught by Ash in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, and his fifty-third overall.
In the anime
Ash first encountered Dragonite as a Dragonair on Dragonite Island in A Test in Paradise!. Unlike the other Dragonair on its home island, it had trouble learning how to fly. Seeing this, Ash offered to help Dragonair learn Dragon Dance and master the use of its wings. Using an Electroweb trampoline provided by Pikachu, Ash managed to help Dragonair to overcome its shortcomings.
Dragonair then sensed Team Rocket capturing one of its Dragonite friends, and the group intervened. Team Rocket sent out a Wailord to deal with them, and one of its splashes sent Ash flying into the air. Dragonair tried to save him from his fall, but its skin was too slippery for Ash to hold on to. As such, it then proceeded to evolve into Dragonite and save Ash. After Team Rocket was defeated, Dragonite expressed its willingness to come with Ash, and he caught it.
In JN014, Ash used Dragonite to traverse through the Desert Resort. Later, it took part in a Raid Battle against a Golurk in the Ruins of the Titan, dealing the finishing blow on it with Goh's Darmanitan.
In JN025, Dragonite was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his World Coronation Series match against Korrina, following the defeat of his Gengar. After defeating her Mienshao, Dragonite went up against Korrina's Lucario. Thanks to Mega Evolution, it proved to be an extremely tough opponent, but eventually, Dragonite was the one who remained standing, winning Ash the match and causing him to rise to the Super Class.
Personality and characteristics
Much like Ash's Muk, Dragonite has a habit of embracing people and Pokémon, even when it is meeting them for the first time. In JN021, it even tried to hug an unhatched Egg, forcing Ash to tell it that it shouldn't do so. It also displayed both courage and determination in saving Ash, which gave it the boost it needed to evolve. It cares for its friends, as it didn't hesitate to come to the aid of its Dragonite friend and for Ash.
Like many of its species, Ash's Dragonite is an adept flyer, and relishes the chance to do so. In JN014, Ash used Dragonite to help him and Pikachu cross the Desert Resort, and was happy to race with Goh and his Beedrill to see who was faster, becoming so engrossed in the race that it sent Ash and Pikachu flying through the air. Dragonite was overjoyed by its victory, and while it obediently returned to its Poké Ball before Ash and Goh entered the cramped Ruins of the Titan, it was visibly disappointed. Dragonite has also been shown to have faith in everyone, as seen in JN023, when it convinced Ash and Goh that the conflict between Goh's Pokémon would be best left for them to solve themselves.
Dragonite is also an extremely tough Pokémon, being able to defeat Korrina's Pokémon, including her Mega Lucario, and withstand a multitude of attacks. In battle it gains a fierce disposition, though after battle it will return to its usual nature.
