Articuno crashed into a meadow in a forest of Unova. She was shot down by a group of humans, who wore a lot of black and white.

"Are you okay?" a little girl walked out of the trees, Articuno watched with wary eyes. "Oh your hurt!" the little girl, that looked about 5 years old, ran up to the freeze pokemon. She looked over Articuno's wing that had a small cut. "Here" she pulled out a bandaid and stuck it on the scar.

'Why are you helping me?' Articuno asked the little girl, who smiled.

"My Mommy always told me to help pokemon and people in need… or she used to" the 5 year old girl frowned and tears welled into her eyes. Articuno stood on her feet and closed her wings before looking back at the little girl.

'What is your name little one?' now that the freeze pokemon asked as it got a good look at the little girl. She had light green hair and ice blue eyes.

"My name is Lily" Lily smiled up at the giant blue bird. "What's your name?" she than asked.

'I'm Articuno also known as the freeze pokemon' the blue bird cooed down to the little girl.

"I see it!" someone shouted behind Lily. Team Plasma filled in with their pokemon and attacked.

"Grabbed the girl too the boss has been looking for her" one of them yelled, Lily clung onto one of Articuno feet.

'We have to get out of here Lily' Articuno leaned down and grabbed the back of Lily's dress and flew away from the attacking group. A few minutes later the blue bird landed on top of a mountain and set Lily down in front of it. 'You'll be safe here from those bad people with me' Articuno cooed.

"Those bad people took me from my Mommy with my big brother, I got away but big brother didn't. I don't want to go back, but I can't leave N" Lily hugged Articuno again.

'Don't worry I won't let anyone take you away again' the giant blue bird cooed and sat down with her wings wrapped around Lily.

"Good night Mommy" The little girl yawned tiredly and fell asleep in Articuno's blue feathers.
