Pidgeotto

Background
Pidgeotto could be described as grandfatherly. He is often giving advice to those who want or need it, even if they do not explicitly ask for it. Sometimes, this can annoy whoever he is speaking with. However, he always means well. Having been around for some years, Pidgeotto finds a soft spot for young Pokémon and even human children, usually laughing off any wrongdoings done against him with the mindset that they are simple mistakes which can be made by anyone.

By nature, he prefers fighting to be of the very last resort. Do not be mistaken though, he is not a pushover when a strict line has been crossed. He has faced many Pokémon larger than him and is able to tell the tales if he desires. Does he win every battle? No but, he does possess plenty of experience from each one. Willing to lend a helping hand, Pidgeotto will not falter in supporting his companions, even if the situation seems hopeless.

However, much of his wizened air is just a fluffed ego, brought about by the fact that no one has truly made him see his own faults. In Pidgeotto’s mind, he has gained more than enough experience to train up the next fledgling into some proper character. Since he was a tiny Pidgy, he wanted to be a driving force for some kind of action, to be a deciding factor that would turn the tides. People did always say, if you wanted something, you needed to believe hard enough in having it. So, he believed himself to be one of the wisest around and, if anything bad happened, it was someone else’s fault.

He met Taylor on a weekend, some hour after noon, when he was lingering by her home out of sight. Pidgeotto had been muttering to himself, thinking how best to approach the girl Diancie had informed him about, when the two crossed paths. Or, really, she had run into him, causing the pair to tumble. In surprise, he voiced his shock and questioned if she were okay. Of course, she screamed in fright but, after some reassurance, he managed to calm the girl.

Somehow, the topic about the girl’s nervousness came up and Pidgeotto felt the need to lend her advice. After that, the decision to make a contract came to light. He would give her the bravery she sought if she helped him in the effort to aid Diancie because a brave hero always served their ruler.
