Grounded Gligar

Kk, I've decided to do one of my own. Gligar is a pokemon that isn't very well known in my opinion, so it deserves some limelight!

Soz I haven't updated I a few days, been working with my dad (

Hey, I'm Gligar! My home is with the other Gligar, in Dark cave. We have a very simple life: fly, eat, fight, and sleep. My favourite part of the day? probably flying. It feels so great, gliding on the wind currents. Many of my friends, mostly Sandshrew and Geodude, tell me how lucky I am to be able to fly. I used to take it for granted, usually swooping down at other pokemon and humans, scaring them. That's what I used to do, until one day…

I woke up, just like any other day, felling energetic, wanting to go for a fly. So I flew out of the cave mouth, which led to the human dwelling blackthorn city. I was flying low as usual, scaring as many people as I could. I was having a real good time, as usual. That's when it happened. A blue haired lady was walking towards another cave entrance, so I decided to land on her. She screamed, and threw me off. I just laughed, unaware of the poke ball held in her hands. She threw it, and a Dragonair appeared in a white flash. I was planning on fighting later anyway, so I thought I might as well make the most of my situation. I flew in a straight line towards the snake- like dragon, scoring a direct hit. She was no match for me. Or so I thought.

The human commanded her dragon to attack, and before I knew what had happened, I was engulfed in a sheet of flame. Humans would call this attack dragon breath. I felt my joints stiffen up, due to the effect of the attack. Luckily I was a natural gilder, so I managed to make a more or less comfortable landing in a nearby rock outcrop. I landed underneath the outcrop, covered and out of sight.

The blue haired lady laughed, called back her dragon, and entered the cave. I was in trouble. My friends, sandshrew and Geodude never left the cave, and I had no family, so I was stuck.

I lay there for hours, bored out of my life. None of this would have happened if I hadn't bullied that trainer… for the first time I considered not bullying anyone again. I could still have fun. Just to make things seem worse, a huge flock of bird pokemon, mainly Pidgey and Pidgeotto flew past. I had only been unable to fly for a few hours, and I already missed it. Then I saw something that made me change my ways for sure.

In a nearby tree, I saw a baby Pidgey flapping its wings, trying to fly. Next to it was its mother, a Pidgeotto. She stopped her chick, and showed it the correct motion for flight. Then the Pidgey gave one big effort, and came off the branch it was sitting on. It flew a little, and then landed back in the tree. That's what flying was all about; remembering the first time you took off into the air. A tear came to my eye. As if by magic, the paralysis in my wings began to lift. I got to my feet, and shakily flew back into the cave, once again enjoying the sheer exhilaration of flight.

Since that day, I have never attacked any pokemon or human for fun. I couldn't believe that I used to, it seems so wrong now. If you are lucky enough to have a talent, you should use it properly, not to make the lives of those who don't have your gift a misery.

Ok, that was a bit shaky. To be honest, I think that wasn't as good as the others, but a story is a story! I'm not even sure if Gligar fly lol. Anyways, keep those requests coming!
