If coincidences didn't happen, if this protagonist wasn't in some way woven into the important and dramatic events of the world, it wouldn't be a story worth telling. There's plenty of boring ass people in the Pokemon world who didn't get special treatment, and their lives a whack, Ash's life is extraordinary and that's why we're learning about his story.
