Chapter 1:

In a faraway land known as Iliria loads of Pokémon live peacefully around and with each other.
Until one faithful day the peace got interrupted by gangs coming from an unknown land, the gangs ravaged the beautiful forest taking the lives of many Pokémon.

“Since then every city and village were in need of a miracle, they needed to have a strong Pokémon who is able to protect the city, but sadly because it has been peaceful in Iliria for over a thousand years the villagers and citizens didn’t train and were very weak, they needed to go to the unknown land in search for a suitable Pokémon.
But alas nobody was willing to go to the unknown land.
The gangs came over and over taking many lives, soon they were forced to flee from their homes.
With months of walking they decided to go through the mountain that connected a part of their land to the unknown land, various Pokémon gathered in front of the mountain pass, scared to go further, then suddenly a mighty bird appeared from above the mountain soon followed by huge windstorms that drew away the gangs.
Everybody was shocked to see what that single bird could do. When they returned to their homes they saw the damage done by de gangs, they were devastated to see the remains of their houses.
Every city and village decided to choose a family worthy enough to train and become the protectors of their homes.”

“And that’s why our family is chosen as the protectors of our village Guimo.” Dreaden said to his youngest son.
Guimo was listening intentionally to his father’s story,  “Whow that’s really awesome dad… I wished that I could be the protector next.” He said looking sadly to his wings, “I hope that Frinshé is going to be a great protector.” He said faking a smile
Dreaden knew that look on his sons face “Guimo don’t you worry about that, Frinshé is going to be an outstanding protector, a brother to be proud of and besides it might be that your wings are blessed with a miracle in the future.” He said trying to cheer up Guimo.
Guimo looked at his wings again and sighed.
Guimo was born with a sickness that caused that the pen feathers on his wings didn’t grew large enough to be able to fly.
“Really Guimo, when you train hard enough and when you are able to become a Pidgeotto you might be able to fly, in the meantime your mom and I will learn you all the techniques of flying on the ground.” Dreaden said petting his sons head.
Guimo’s mood lightened up a little, “Thanks dad, I’m going to make you proud!” He said when he walked out onto the branch.
“Guimo, I wished that you could be the protector.” Dreaden though looking at his son who was inspecting the forest, “You would be perfect for the job.” He kept thinking and sighed and looked at the painting on the wall of the Pidgeot who was chosen at first to be the protector of this village, “I wish that Guimo can become a protector… but his wings… I really hope that his feathers will be big enough when he evolves.” He thought again and sighed.
Guimo looked back and smiled then went down the rope they made for him so he could climb to the ground.

Guimo hooked his claws around the rope and slowly went down to the ground, when he came on the ground he inhaled the scent of the forest then walked to the village.

When he arrived at the village Guimo got greeted by a few acquaintances and greeted them warmly back, he was about to enter when he suddenly heard someone screaming from inside the forest, he turned his gaze back to the forest and saw that a few trees were moving heavily from side to side.
A few villagers came out of their houses to see what that was about but quickly hide behind the village walls. Guimo rushed inside the forest, he saw some of his buddies running away from something big.
“Guimo Run!!” One screamed while he passed them.
“I’m going ahead!!” He said then turned his gaze back and stopped right in his tracks looking straight in the eyes of an angry looking Zebstrika.
Guimo tried to take a step back but the Zebstrika came closer to him.
“Tsk tsk tsk pitiful.” It said, “I was searching for you little Pidgey.” While suddenly his voice turned nice.
Guimo got confused by his sudden mood change, “M..me.” He said still shivering a little.
“Yes, sorry for the uproar a second ago.” He said turning to the running villagers, “I didn’t want to break anything.” He said again with a little guilt in his voice.
“B..break?” Guimo asked confused, Zebstrika nodded a little, “Yes I tri…” He began but got interrupted by a loud shout.
“What’s the meaning of this!!” He heard, Guimo looked in the air and saw his father flying up to them, “Huio what have you been doing to make such a mess!?” He asked the Zebstrika when he landed.
“I’m sorry Dreaden, I sometimes forget that there are only birds in this part of the forest… when one of your villagers saw me it panicked and I shocked then I tripped over something and broke a uh… vase in someone’s yard… the person freaked out and threw a piece at me, I uh freaked out a little… so yeah.” He said guilty.
Dreaden chuckled a little, “Luckily there are no wounded.” He said.
“The Zebstrika is big in comparison with father, big and mighty… why didn’t they choose their family as protectors?” Guimo thought while he looked at the black and white electric horse.
“By the way Dreaden, can I take your boy with me for a couple of months, Kayo wants to know what’s wrong with him.” Huio said to his dad.
“Kayo… what does he wants now!?” His father said annoyed, “But fine, I can’t say no to Kayo… just give me a minute.” He added and beckoned him to follow him.
Guimo followed his dad a few paces away from Huio, “Guimo… you are going with Huio to the city.” He said, “You are going to meet Kayo… be polite and always say he’s right, even when he’s not!” He said then turned to Huio and nodded.
“But dad… why do I have to go to the city!?” He asked confused, “I don’t know, but if I let you here I would get in trouble, just follow Huio and you’re safe.”
Guimo nodded softly, “Ok dad… if you wish.” He said then went to Huio.
“Take care of my boy Huio.” He said, Huio nodded and they went their way to the city.

After walking for hours Huio was quite impressed at how much this little guy could walk, he looked at him for a second, “How is he able to walk so much, he’s a Pidgey… and usually when I walk with a bird they fly… hmm I wonder.” He thought then looked back at the road, “Just a few kilometers and we’re at the city, then just a few meters and we’re at Kayo’s castle.” He said to the little Pidgey who nodded in approval, “By the way, I never got the chance to ask your name, what’s your name boy?” He asked curious.
The boy looked at him and smiled, “My name is Guimo good Zebstrika, I am the son of the family who is chosen to be the protectors of our village.” He said proud, Huio chuckled a little.
“I know about the family stuff.” He chuckled, “But I didn’t know you, I already found it weird that Kayo did know you but maybe that’s just me, I only knew your brothers, Frinshé and Kinshi.” He entrusted him.
“Oh really, wow…” Guimo said a little sad, “Frinshé is going to become the next protector when dad becomes too old.” He said even sadder.
“Frinshé? I thought Kinshi was going to become the next protector… why not Kinshi if I may ask?” He asked carefully.
“Because Kinshi has another job given in Eisho when he’s strong enough to become a Pidgeot.” He said proudly.
“Eisho… Eisho… it does ring a bell.” Huio said thinking, “Oh now I remember!!” He said, “Eisho has been demolished by the remaining gangs, I remember being there holding of those bastards from entering the part that was still standing.” He said thinking back.
“Really, you’ve been in Eisho… that’s so cool.” Guimo suddenly said happily.
“Yes, it really was a beautiful city the biggest and prettiest of them all, also there was a river flowing through it, loads of water Pokémon lived in that river, also the forest was bursting with grass and bug Pokémon, in the city itself were living loads of various Pokémon.” Huio said grinning then stopped for a second, “Anyway, isn’t it time for you to take a nice rest, we’ve been walking allot today.” He asked politely.
Guimo shook his head, “Nah, I’m used to walking, you said we’re almost there so let’s get on, then we’re at the city before it starts to get dark.” He said skipping.
“Then at least hop on my back so I can gallop there, then we’re even faster than we would while walking.” He said pointing to his back.
Guimo stopped walking and looked at him, “He’s too big to just jump on his back… how am I going to say ‘I can’t fly on your back’?” He thought examining Huio, Huio looked at him quite curious, “Are you coming or not?” He said trying to sound impatient.
Guimo took a step back then looked down, confusing Huio, “Is there something wrong?” He asked turning to him, Guimo sat down keeping his gaze sad to the ground.
“He asked it for himself, I should say it.” Guimo  thought then looked up seeing the confused and worried look on Huimo’s face, “Yes… there is something wrong…” He started, “I.. I can’t fly…” He said immediately turning around looking at the ground.
Huio shocked at hearing that, “Wait… so you mean you can’t hop on my back because it’s too high to simply jump on it?” He said shocked, Guimo nodded ashamed, “How come you can’t fly?” He asked again gentle.
Guimo turned around surprised then sighed, “I’ve got Fushionale… I got born with it.” He said looking down ashamed.
Huio tilted his head a little, “Hmm I’ve heard of Fushionale… let me think where I’ve heard it before.” He said searching deeply through his mind then it strikes him.

“Huio… I’m sorry, I.. I can’t go with you overseas.” A young female Swellow said. Huio took a step back, “But Amerine why not?” He asked confused.
Amerine turned red, “I.. I’ve got Fushionale Huio.. and the ships don’t allow birds, only when they can fly.” She said sad. Huio got mad, “But that’s ridiculous you promised to go with me to Iliria!!”.
Amerine took a step back from him, “I’m sorry Huio… you don’t know what Fushionale is…” She started, Huio cooled down and listened intentionally, “Fushionale is a sickness I was born with, with that the pen feathers… the feathers that gives us the possibility to fly… didn’t grew big enough.. . these feathers need to be longer than your longest feather, with allot of birds who had it they got rid of it after they evolved… I really tried to see if I was rid of it… but sorry, I still can’t fly… I can’t get off the ground… I’m really sorry Huio… I really thought that when I evolved I could fly, and that we could go together to Iliria.” She said crying. Huio let it sink in then placed his head on her shoulder as a sign of a comfortable hug.
“I now understand why you wanted to wait till you evolved Amerine… I promise when I get back I’ve got tons of stories to tell you about Iliria!” Huio said softly, “Just wait till I get back… I don’t know when or how long it will take before I return, but you can count on it, I will return.” He said, Amerine nodded and petted him on his back, “Be safe my friend.” She said when he turned around and they said their goodbyes.

“Huio… Huio!!” Guimo screamed trying to get his attention, Huio got shocked out of thought, “Huh… what… yes did someone call me?” He said startled.
Guimo had to laugh a little because of the expression he suddenly had, “Yes… I called you.” He chuckled, “You were dozing off a little.” He added with a snicker.
Huio blushed a little, “Sorry… I was just thinking back into the past.” He said smiling, Guimo nodded, “Anyway Guimo, I’m sorry for not noticing it before, here hop on.” He said when he bends his knees so Guimo could jump on it this time.
Guimo was astonished, seeing a Zebstrika bend through his knees like that, know he could see it was easily possible to jump on. He took a few steps back and took a little sprint then jumped right in the middle of Huio’s back, “That’s a very good jump Guimo, now hold on or else you fall off.” Guimo holds tight when Huio sprinted off into the distance.

“Tsk tsk tsk, so their little son can’t fly, what a pathetic protector.” Someone said.
“Let’s go, or else we get caught.” Another one said.
“Yes your right, we don’t want our heads on the table next.” The first one replied.
