Prehistoric Dragonite 1

Theory 1: Before evolving into the modern Dragonite, Dratini's lines stayed serpentine, evolving into a vitrual King of the Sea. This creature (San has dubbed Aqua-nite) would have easily been as long as Gyarados or Onix, possibly even measuring up to Steelix's length. It would have been either a pure Dragon type or a Dragon/Water type. With this evolution, it would have been almost entirely aquatic, bringing to mind what would have drove the Dratini line to seek a more land-based state.
