DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokémon or anything related to it, although it was pretty awesome i I did. However, characters and plot are mine. You can use them but let me know first and credit me for them ok?

Miles approached Paul silently, who sighed.

'When are you leaving?' He asked without looking at him. Miles' eyes widened.

'How'd you...?'

'You're not the only one who can spy on others you know?' Paul chuckled. 'Although in this case was less spying and more a father being worried that his child might be getting into trouble.' He turned to face Miles. 'Well, guess I was wrong.'

'Aren't you angry?' Miles asked.

'Not really. You could have said something before letting yourself be captured but other than that I'm actually quite pleased.' Paul smiled. 'Not only I get rid of you,-'

'Hey!'

'-but you can also vent that ridiculous amount of energy you have into training. Also, you'll have great friends with you. That much I could see.'

'So, you think he's the right Trainer for me?'

'The best Trainer for you. So far he's the only living being who managed to get your attention for more than five minutes.' Paul smiled again. 'Just try not to overly annoy your teammates, will you?'

'I'll try, but I can't quite guarantee I'll succeed.' Miles laughed. They stayed in silence for a while. 'Well, I should be going. I wanted to try something.'

Paul nodded. 'Alright then, I'll see you in the morning.' Miles took some balance and took off, heading for the training clearing.

Leon was at the golden podium of Indigo Plateau. The crowd cheered and chanted his name. Kairi and Miles stood before him, beaming. For they had done it: they had conquered the Kanto Pokémon League. The Champion was walking towards him, about to give him the Kanto Cup. He could almost feel its weight on his hands...

*CRACK!*

Leon woke up, startled by the loud noise. He looked around bewildered, searching for the source of the disturbance. A furry pressure on his arm told him that Kairi was attached tightly to his arm.

'You OK!?' He asked her. Her fur was standing and she was slightly shivering.

'I'm fine. I was just surprised that's all.' She answered, embarrassed. Leon smiled.

'Good. Then let's see what caused that.' He said, getting up. The sun was almost down and it was starting to get dark so Leon took his flashlight, put Kairi on her usual perch on his shoulders and started to walk in the direction the noise came from.

'Can you sense anything?' He asked Kairi. After a pause so that she could focus she shook her head.

'Nope. But I'm still a newbie at wave guidance so I may have let something escape me.'

'Okay, thanks.' They continued to push further. 'Hey, isn't this the way to that clearing where we trained?' Leon commented.

'I hadn't noticed it yet but I think you're right.' She looked around. 'Yeah, see that tree with the three lower branches crisscrossing? I noticed it when we were heading there for the first time.'

*CRACK!*

Another noise, louder than the first one, shot through the calm night. Kairi grabbed Leon's head hard, scared.

'Arceus, that scared the bejeezus out of me!' Leon said, clutching his heart. He looked up at Kairi. 'You OK? You're shivering again. Plus, you're giving me a headache.' She let his head go.

'Sorry. I just don't like loud noises.'

'Meh, no problem. Here.' He grabbed her and hugged her against his chest. 'Is this better?' She blushed and nodded. He smiled. 'Good. Now let's go, we're almost there!' Sure enough, after a minute of walking, they arrived at the clearing. On the far edge, a small Pidgey was hovering on the spot in front of a couple of dead trees. Their jaws dropped. Both trees had their branches torn apart from the trunk. Wood chips and twigs littered the ground around them. As they approached the Pidgey, he turned to face them. It was Miles. He was panting heavily but with a big smile on his beak.

'I... I did it.' He softly said, giving them his thumbs-up. Then he collapsed.

'Miles!' Leon rushed to him, letting Kairi jump to the ground and catching Miles before he hit the ground.

'Is he okay?' Kairi asked.

Leon checked him for injuries and sighed in relief. 'Yeah he's fine. Nothing a good night of sleep won't heal.' He unclipped Miles' Pokéball from his belt and withdrew him. Then he looked around at the clearing. 'Man, did he really do this!? He's just a small little Pidgey!'

'Yeah well, I knew something was off when I read his aura. It seemed... I don't know, too big. He's got a bigger aura than every other Pidgey we saw today.'

'Well, no point in discussing it here. Let's go back to camp, just let me grab some wood for the fire.' Leon told her while he clipped Miles to his belt, bending to catch a few of the branches Miles ripped from the tree. When he had an armful, Kairi climbed her way to his shoulder and they went to camp.

* * *

When the flashlight caught the tent's shape, Leon beamed.

'Finally! I thought we'd gotten ourselves lost in the woods.' He sat next to the almost dying fire, throwing some of the twigs into the glowing embers. Kairi shut off the flashlight and jumped down to sit next to him. Leon unclipped Miles' Pokéball and stared at it, still astonished at what he had done. 'Still can't believe it. He just started to train Gust today and he has already managed to perfect it. Arceus, what a monster.'

'Well, that's good right?' Kairi asked him.

'Well, yeah, but I'm a bit scared actually. If he's like this as a Pidgey I can barely imagine what he'd be like as a Pidgeot.' He chuckled.

Kairi laughed. 'Yeah didn't think of that. Glad he's on our side then.' Leon got up, heading for the tent. 'Hey where are you going?'

'Making dinner. I just realized its half past nine in the evening and I'm starving from all that training.' Kairi smiled happily at the prospect of eating more of Leon's food and went to help him. They ate what was left of the Spicy Berry Meat Stew Leon had cooked for lunch (Kairi loving it again) and they went into the tent, Kairi crawling inside Leon's sleeping bag.

* * *

'OI! Lazy! You're crushing me!'

The sound of Kairi yelling on his ears made Leon shoot out of the sleeping bag faster than if he had been shot from a cannon. 'What!? What happened!?'

'Nothing really, you just rolled on top of me.' Kairi said matter-of-factly. She exited the sleeping bag and stood on his knees. 'Now get up! It's morning already!' She said before opening the tent flap, flooding the tent with the morning light. Leon groaned and shielded his eyes from the light. 'And, I'll be expecting my breakfast in fifteen minutes!' She said, giving him her warmest smile, and she went outside.

'Awww crap... I feel like I'm the Pokémon and she's the Trainer...' He thought, rubbing his eyes. 'I hope you're joking!' He yelled outside.

'You're right! I am!' She shouted back with a hint of laughter in her voice. He groaned, getting dressed. As he was getting out of the tent, he paused, then came back in to get his Pokéball belt that had Miles' Pokéball attached to it. He unclipped it from the belt and released Miles, who stretched and yawned.

'Mornin'! How are you?' Leon asked him.

'Couldn't be better!' Miles answered, giving him the thumbs-up.

'Good. But next time, before you train until you collapse, give us a warning ok? Imagine what could have happened if we hadn't checked on the noises you were making! You could still be knocked out and we wouldn't know where you were!' Miles looked down. Leon realized it and said, 'Hey, I'm not telling this to be mad at you, you know? I just don't want anything to happen to you guys!' Miles cheered up a bit and nodded.

'Ok! Next time I'll warn you. Now, can we get some breakfast? I'm hungry!'

Leon laughed. 'Sure just wait a minute.' He told the hungry Pidgey, going to his backpack and retrieving a slightly mushed up bag of assorted berries. 'Ah damn. Hopefully they'll still taste the same.' He muttered, sitting next to Kairi and Miles. 'Ok then, dig in!'

After they had their share of berries, Leon started to pack everything up while Kairi and Miles played catch with eachother. When Leon finished cleaning everything, he put his backpack on his shoulders and called out to Kairi and Miles. Kairi climbed to his right shoulder while Miles perched on his left one and they headed for the Pidgey Clearing.

After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the clearing. Paul came to meet him, accompanied by some of the Pidgey, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot that knew Miles.

'Well then, I guess we're off. Thank you for everything Paul.' Leon thanked him.

'No, it is me who has to thank you, Leon. If it weren't for you, Miles here would cause mayhem everyday to the rest of my life!' Paul answered, laughing. He then turned to Miles, smiling warmly. 'I guess this is goodbye then. Have a safe trip.' Miles nodded. Suddenly, Paul hugged him, drawing a few awwwws from the female birds around. Paul broke the hug. 'I know you can do it. I have faith in you Miles.'

'Thanks dad.' Miles muttered, looking down and shaking.

'Miles? What's wrong?' Paul asked worriedly.

'N-Nothing, I-I'm fine.' He turned around and took off in the direction of Viridian City. 'Leon! L-Lets go!'

'Hey! Wait for us!!' Leon called after him, running to catch him. 'Miles! Slow down!' As he drew nearer, he saw Miles slowing down and finally perching on a low branch, waiting for them. Leon looked back and saw that they couldn't see the Pidgey Clearing anymore. 'Miles? What has gotten into you?' Miles turned around. He was smiling but Leon could see wet patches on his feathers near his eyes. 'He was crying...'

'Nothing! I just want to get this journey started, that's all!' He answered cheerfully.

'Miles...'

'C'mon Leon! Don't just stand there let's go!' He told him, taking off again. 'Race ya to Viridian!' He shouted at him.

'Argh damn you! You overenthusiastic, brainless bird!' Leon shouted back, running to try and catch him, while Kairi just laughed, hanging on to Leon.
