It would help to to have several overreaching goals. Helping people understand and use pokemon is one. Under that bracket you can set up challenges for the people willing to use pokemon at this point. Eventually leading to the elite four platform. Like one needing a Pokémon needing a certain type to get to a place. Like an underwater cave or a particularly steep mountain. And the reward is a pokeball or some other useful thing. Another goal would be to make his pokemon stronger by going on a journey with the the goal of freeing the dragonite. Maybe picking up some pokemon on the way. And buy freeing dragonite becoming mor infamous and famous. Legendery encounters whether planned or unplanned. Can throw a wrench in any situation. Like maybe the american government overreaching. Getting the research team to move to a different region because government or other bodies of power want to monopolize the info. A shadow group of people who understand the benefits and use of pokemon causing alot of harm to an already fragile society in order to gain more power. These are just some of the ways i thought your story was gonna go. Feel free to take any of the ideas.
