Suppose to Fly

Prologue: Winged But Can't Soar
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
A/N: * means that the PVO has changed, not a scene change. There are three different 
type of PVO in this story: the main character, narrative (that means I'm narrating the 
story), or misc. (other char.) You'll have to find out whose PVO is whose. This story is 
kind of sad, so don't kill me if you think I'm making someone suffer too much. You've 
been warned.

   We never knew his name. We never knew where he came from. All I knew is that one-
day while I was watching over my kin, he fell out of the sky and landed in our territory. 
He was not like us. He can't fell the rush of excitement as we take wing. He can't see the 
sky and the ground below our way. He'll never be like us. Yet, I took him in. I tried to 
teach him, but he just couldn't. I've abandoned all hope. He couldn't perch in a tree like 
we can. He couldn't feel the breeze like we can. And he's still young. He will never 
completely become one of us. It was a sad fact to consider, for we never had anything 
like this before. 
   And that's how he got other names from my people.
   Wingless was a popular one. But it doesn't suit him, for he is winged. Flightless was 
also another one. On and on the name list goes for him. I was quite surprised at some 
names the younger people of my kin called him. It was rather immature, so to speak. 
However, the name I call him was inspired by an old legend passed down through 
generation by my kin.
   It was said that a long time ago, there was no such thing as flight. Us bird Pokemon was 
stuck to the ground, no matter what we do. One day, a Pidgey looked up to the sky and 
thought, ' If I could see what's up there, I know I'll be the happiest Pokemon alive.' So, 
he explained the idea to the other Pidgey. Some agreed that exploration of the skies 
would give a new meaning to the Pidgey's life. Yet most of them regarded the idea as 
rubbish. The Pidgey was not discouraged. He went to Mew, the only Pokemon that can 
fly back then and asked for the gift of flight. Mew agreed only under two conditions: One 
was that the others of his kind and a few else the gift also. Two was that one-day, his off 
springs would have to prove to her that they are great enough to keep this gift to the bird 
Pokemon. The Pidgey agreed. Soon, the bird Pokemon began lifting their wings and 
flying. A few hundred years later, Mew announced that the gift of flight would be over 
for them unless the off springs prove themselves. The off springs tried one-by-one to fly 
beyond the clouds, for it was Mew's test to prove the greatness in Pidgey. One-by-one, 
each failed. Only the youngest one was left. He was scared of heights so he refused to try. 
But his sisters and brothers reminded him that if he quits, their power of flight would be 
no more. So he tried. Above the grass, above the trees, and above the hills he flew. 
Suddenly, he felt a new feeling arise in him. The feeling of excitement urged him to go 
on. Pass the mountains and pass the clouds he flew. The others told him to come down, 
but he wouldn't. He'll prove to Mew that he can be not just the greatest, but also the best. 
He kept on going till he reached the upper atmosphere. There, with no more strength left 
anymore, he fell. There was no sign that he crashed to death. In fact, there were no clues 
at all. Yet he proved that the bird Pokemon was capable of handling the new gift of flight. 
From then on, he was known as the One Who Flown Through Fear.
   I was so motivated by this legend. I knew that the name I gave him name is the perfect 
for him. He won't be like the others, but I have a feeling that he is destined for greatness.
************************************************************************
   I don't know where I came from. Whether I was born or created, I forgot. The only 
thing I remember is the kin leader taking me in. He tried to teach me, he really did, but I 
was not able to do anything he taught me about. 
   I had no name.
   Others call me a bunch of different names like Wingless and Flightless, but I ignored 
them. The kin leader gave me a name that I was going to stick with. He said it was 
inspired by this legend. I don't know about the legend, but the name suits me. And it has 
a mythical felling to it.
   I had no name before. But the kin leader gave one to me. He called me: The Winged 
But Cannot Soar.

My first Pokemon fanfiction! The first one I put on the site was a crossover, so, yeah. I 
think that Pudgy Pidgey Island Episode got my brain into this one. @_@
