If anyone's interested in a 20-plus year after-the-fact story idea for Pokémon, feel free to read below.

So I've been in a bit of a Pokémon mood lately, going back to re-watch the older show, and It occurs to me how great an idea it was that Mewtwo, the antagonist of the first movie, was teased in the Indigo League episodes as some shadowy figure controlled by Team Rocket before going rogue. It really hyped up audiences as to what this thing was for when the film finally released. And I can say that with certainty as an OG Pokémon fan. However, it's something of a disappointment to me that they never seemed to do this sort of thing with later stuff. No hints of Lugia or Entei or the other Legendaries before their respective movies like Mewtwo had.

As such, I've been tinkering in my head about a possible way this could have been done, at least as far as with the Pokémon Lugia and the 2000 movie. I realise I'm a few decades late to propose it, but hey, better late than never, right?

So, here's the idea. Much like in the remake games, Heartgold and Soulsilver, the Kimono Girls of the Johto region are heavily tied to the Legendaries, Lugia in particular in this case. They have been searching for a chosen one in the hopes that one will enable the Legendaries to return. Then, word will reach them of the events of the first Pokémon movie. Ash, a mere human boy, has not only managed to cease the fighting between two Pokémon of godlike power, Mew and Mewtwo, but even came back to life in the process through the mythical power of resurrection tears of the other Pokémon assembled there.

Yes, I realise that memory loss was involved in all who were there at the time, but for the sake of this idea, let's say that word got out about the events on New Island in spite of that. The Kimono Girls hear this and they wonder to themselves, this Ash boy is clearly something different, and maybe, just maybe, he's the one they've been looking for. So, it's decided. One of them will find him and meet with him. To determine if he's indeed the one and, if he is, to prepare him for his role as the chosen human who will bring about Lugia's return.

Of their number, they choose the youngest, Sakura, so find Ash and ingratiate herself with him. The girl goes, but she has her own reasons for going as, much like her brief appearance in the anime, she has hopes of being a Pokémon trainer rather than following the tradition of her family, and so uses this mission as the excuse she's been looking for to get out there in the world. She finds Ash and the gang and joins him, serving as the new companion character for the season. She and Ash become friends (and possibly go down the usual route of Ash's female companions getting a crush on him only for him to be oblivious to the whole thing) and they journey through Johto. Despite her scepticism for the legend, Sakura, seeing Ash and his interactions with Pokémon, starts to get the same inkling about him as her sisters.

Eventually, the season draws to a close and we get into the territory of the Pokémon 2000 movie. Things basically go the same, with the three birds infighting and Lugia needed to keep them in line. But it takes Ash stepping up to his role as the chosen one to bring the Legendary out from the sea, as well as Sakura, who reveals her intentions to him, to do so, much like the player character and Kimono Girls do in the game. Basically, Sakura sort of takes on the role Melody had in the canon movie, a ceremonial maiden whose song/dance was needed to resolve or summon Lugia alongside Ash. The day is saved, Sakura reconciles with her sisters (who are none too pleased that she strayed from her mission to pursue her goal of becoming a trainer, but are happy for her all the same) and that whole family drama is settled. She then parts ways amicably with Ash, with potential for the occasional cameo and re-joining the group later on.

Yeah, this basically mashes timelines of the show and draws a lot from the remake Johto games, but I just thoughts it'd be neat in a sort of retroactive way for some kind of storyline and build-up for Ash's role with the Lugia movie, as well as introducing the very cool (at least to me) idea that there are human characters in the Pokémon world who are aware of the Legendaries and are something of a liaison between them and humanity like Sakura and her sisters. Hope you enjoyed my rambling. I'm no storyteller, but with luck this was a fun what-if for you to read :)

Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash.

Though the water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, thus the earth shall turn to ash. Oh, Chosen One. Into thine hands bring together all three. Their treasure combined, tame the Beast of the Sea."
