So back when sword and shield came out, I was having a lot of fun making little 4komas and stuff for FGO. I had been playing it for a long time and decided to start playing around with character aspects I liked and dialogues and stuff and as I began playing through Sword and Shield…I wanted to do the same thing…but with a side character in the past. So because I don’t know that I’ll ever get to really write or draw it out I’d like to share it here for fun. I’ll share some of the little sketches for it I did next time! We’ll start with some of my original thoughts going into the story, then the main story of Galar’s fastest Corviknight, but since this is part 1 it acts more as introduction to all the characters and the story happening overall. Enjoy!

The first things I wanna talk about is what my ideas were going into this story. I really love the designs of Sword and Shield’s region and gym leaders and felt like they and the region had a longer history. What I decided I wanted to try though was brought on by the interst I had in, not the gym leader’s pasts or the region’s but in the Taxi Driver and his Corvinknight. They get several cameos in Twilight Wings which I really loved. My idea was that these friends likely had their own heavy developments to get to where they were. How is Corviknight known as the fastest? That waas something I was especially interested to explore. With the Pokemon x Miku collab, the little short web-series like pokemon concierge, it made me interested in sharing this story in even a little way. So this is sort of an outline and summary of the story I wanted to do. It includes how the Pilot and Corvinknight became a duo, how Corviknight became known across Galar as the fastest, as well as some of the gym leader’s historys and family (like parents, grandparents or them when younger, etc.). This means some of the ages are wrong because I can’t find them for some of the characters, but I tried to keep the logic in them as best I could and pretty much all of the characters don't have names unless they're directly named in SWSH. I’ve made some changes since the inital time I wrote the outline so you have the freshest most up to date version! Some things don't make sense, some things are still written wrong or oddly, but it was just gonna be a single one shot story (a comic one-shot) so it's got a few visual story notes that you wouldn't get from a fanfic that were written to help visualize things later. Hopefully though this gives the best overall feel of what things are supposed to overall be story wise.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Pilot tells the Sword and Shield MC and crew about how he and Corviknight won the first annual race around Galar back in the day and encountered the legendary pokemon in the big area. From this Pilot goes on his day reminiscing about how he and Corviknight came to be as close as they did, almost 26 years ago.

Pilot worked at the old taxi service, at the time they originally only used land vehicles and pokemon rentals but wanted to test a new service using flying types, they’d been trying with one Corviknight for a long time and did fairly well. Pilot’s father and grandfather had worked and owned the taxi service with another guy, Boss, but it was recently bought out by a large corporation who are also pushing to help get air pokemon travel. To do so they’ve donated several Corviknights, recently evolved from Corvisquire. Pilot’s father is out sick so he, Pilot, is working with another guy from the service to get the Corviknights trained. The older Corviknight becomes temperamental and injures one of the drivers. Pilot is cautious but doesn’t neglect to treat the Corviknight just as well as the others. One day when giving all the Corviknights cold baths out in the sun, a guy Pilot has a crush on comes over to the Taxi service because he works for the community paper. He wants to write a story about the new initiative to help boost service use after the transition of ownership, knowing Pilot is somewhat upset by it and worried that the place his family has created won’t be something he can save if it fails. Pilot appreciates it and after a small pause he shows Guy around with what they’re doing that day and talks about what they have been doing in general to train the Corviknights. The older Corviknight, having watched the exchange, quietly fades into the space lingering around the hose. At somepoint just after Guy leaves, Pilot flushes and quickly but quietly Corviknight splashes him with the hose. The two then have a water hose fight. It’s a fun light moment.

In the days following Corviknight bonds, in an almost begrudging manner, with Pilot and Guy on the couple times they visit. One day Guy comes in mentioning that they received news there is some big event coming up, and that it’s a cross region race. It’s something being hosted by the Dragon gym leader and his Fiance from Alola. Guy says it may be good way to show both how well the Corviknights are doing and to test out their flight capabilities. Pilot likes the idea but they haven’t actually gotten to mounting the Corviknights yet. Guy suggests that he try to do so with the one older Corviknight but Pilot says no, that he doesn’t want to try too early, especially when he isn’t sure that Corviknight actually likes him. The Corviknight overhears this and seems to contemplate the wording by itself. Over the next couple days again the Corviknight seems especially quiet, not wild or aggressive, but not interested in doing anything. As the training is going well, plans begin to be set up for the taxi service to move buildings at the request of the larger corporation.

As the last of the Drivers return, one of which the older Corviknight gets upset and snaps at, Pilot locks up the backyard first. As he returns to the main shop, a couple enters asking about getting a ride although it's close to closing time. He says he can't because there aren't any drivers. The male of the couple playfully asks about a specific driver being around, who is Pilot's Father. Pilot says no that he was out sick and the man is surprised, immediately going into questions about it and then pausing. He asks if Pilot is related and Pilot says yes. The man becomes extra friendly introducing himself and his fiancé by name but not what they do. He then asks about seeing his father's Corviknight as he used to get rides from the pair often in the past. Pilot thinks about it for a second and then says sure but he has to lock the front and close so no one else comes in while they're in the back. They go and see the Corviknight and just as Pilot says to be careful that the Corviknight can be aggressive, the man pets it like it's nothing. They talk about how Pilot's father would always say this was the Fastest Corviknight in all Galar and about how excited he would get about talking about it. The woman remarks that she loves flying types or any bug flying pokemon. She's from Alola where the relationships with pokemon for transportation is pretty open ended. Pilot makes a small connection there in his mind to the recent things he heard about the Dragon Gym leader's fiance.

She immediately asks if he is the fastest then the Corviknight is must be entering the race coming up. He says probably not since the Corviknight is technically a working Pokemon and might be needed for Taxi that day, even though the Corviknights haven’t actually started work yet. Pilot asks if they're gonna enter the race and they both glance at each other and then back to him. He asks what's wrong. They mention they’re hosting the race and he connects the dots, and the reader would likely have that these are Raihan’s parents. The man laughs and pats Pilot on the back, saying not to sweat it but that he should ask if Boss would let Pilot race with Corviknight. Pilot says he isn't even sure he'll have time to race or that he'll be busy, very obviously trying to create reasons he can't go. The man interrupts saying that he's not demanding he has to enter or even really asking him to, but if it's something that Pilot or Corviknight want to do he'll have a spot open for them. The couple leaves, wrapping up the conversation and Pilot finishes locking up. As he is walking away from the Taxi building, a shadow (only to readers) is oddly watching the building.

Meanwhile earlier in the day, Honey notices a boat passing the Isles and mentions it to Mustard who decides to contact the docks about any boats they had out in the area. Characters that we as the reader would probably recognize as Nessa’s parents answer the call and mention that they’ve had an increase in water pokemon in the area but no strange boats. Mustard mentions he saw a few extra schools of water pokemon than normal as well. With no boats recorded out by the isle, they consider that the boat may be herding the pokemon for something. Nessa’s parents say they’ll report it to the police. After the call, Nessa’s mom decided she wants to check out if the other side of Galar has had any changes in water pokemon sightings, to see if it's perhaps an overall increase or just on one side. She takes the train out over to Ballonlea and requests help at the Fairy Gym. There she finds out that some fairy types have been disappearing and many of the weaker remaining have gathered closer into town. And after exploring the beach on outside the forest, notices a large lack of water pokemon.

The next day, Pilot goes out to the boss and asks what he thinks of the race the Dragon Gym is holding. Boss says it sounds interesting and he's gonna check it out, saying he might find some more ways to make quick rides with other pokemon. Boss asks if Pilot wants that day off to see the race. Pilot says not if it's gonna be a busy day, he wants to be sure they have enough help. Boss laughs and retorts with an "alright", but that it'll only be a half day in that case. Boss wants Pilot to be able to do things other than just work as he's still young enough to go out and have a good time. Pilot thanks him and then considers asking about racing with the Corviknight but doesn’t.

Pilot approaches Corviknight later, speaking to it about the race and flying, what it means to be doing the work they are. He feels that the Corviknight wants to fly but Pilot is well aware that this may be the last thing it wants to be doing too, but hopes that if they can show the taxi service works, Corviknight can leave if it’d like and be really free. The Corviknight seems to get upset at this, as it had begun to feel happy again at the Taxi service and Pilot saying this makes it feel… betrayed in a way. The Corviknight knocks Pilot down and flys out of the service hanger. It doesn’t come back the full day as Pilot waits and Boss tries to convince Pilot to go home. He says no and tries to clean up things although all the work for the day is done. Just they get ready to lock up and Pilot going into the hanger, someone enters the taxi service room. They knock out Boss and direct someone else to enter and being grabbing things. Hearing the items getting thrown around in the other room, Pilot comes back only to be pushed back by the robbers, and turned away from them so he can't see their faces. The robbers take the Corviknight pokeballs as well as the rental pokemon’s pokeballs. They say they’ll be taking the pokemon off their hands and knockout Pilot, proceeding to use the pokeballs to take the pokemon from the hangers and beds. In the shuffle of taking Pokemon, Corviknight returns and tries fighting off the robbers only to be taken too.

About two hours later Pilot wakes and sees all the pokemon gone. He rushes to check on Boss who is still knocked out and so he calls the pokemon center, police and Guy. The police have a special detective with them who is investigating pokemon thefts across regions, believing Galar’s unique types will make them the next target. He believes the Taxi service was targeted to take away fast traveling pokemon and impede the possible mobility of general citizens being raised against the thieves. The Driver is nursed and taken home and Pilot is told the scene needs to stay as is till it can be fully inspected. Guy, having gotten the call from Pilot, arrives and after being filled in, walks Pilot home.

Meanwhile the thieves have taken up hiding in the Weald. They go over plans and, to the reader, confirm that they stole the taxi pokemon in order to impede people from getting around. Their plan is to use a part of the upcoming racing event in order to take other pokemon before trying for the remaining legendary pokemon at the southern end of galar. The leader among them, a young woman, thinks on her own goals and her hopes to be accepted back into Team Rocket. She decides to try bringing out one of the pokemon the next morning, to see if it will listen to her orders. Unfortunately she isn’t sure which pokemon will be in the ball she chooses and sends out Pilot’s Corviknight. The Corviknight reacts fast and flies off before She realizes which Corviknight it is. As this happens, they also being to hear an ominous howl they hadn't before. They decide as Corviknight flies off that it’s not worth the chase and it’s easier to relocate, assuming that howl they hear is the pokemon of a Galar citizen.

Over the night of the theft, Guy and Pilot remain at home where Pilot lets his dad know what happened. They talk through it and Pilot feels crushed that what seemed to be great progress ended up like this. His dad reassures him thats everything is of no fault on him. Theres still the chance Corviknight will be back, not knowing it had been taken in the same moment. Guy stays to help Pilot get some rest in and then walk him back to the taxi service in the morning. Pilot takes the chance to mention that he is happy Guy supports him and would like to be able to hang out more, making more memories with Corviknight and such. Guy agrees, thinking this was going to be a confession but appreciates the smaller moment instead.

The next morning the two head over to Taxi service after calling to see if they were allowed back in. The police apparently locked up and were done investigating. They mention that they’d be happy to keep Pilot in the loop as much as they can to help find the missing Pokemon. Pilot and Guy head over to the Taxi service. They quietly spend the day cleaning up and informing customers they’d be closed until the pokemon are found. As they wrap up some cleaning for lunch, Pilot hears a sound from the back. He rushes back and opens the hanger doors to see Corviknight landing down. He jumps up happily and hugs Corviknight. Corviknight lightly lays his head to Pilots shoulder accepting it. Pilot begins trying to explain what happened but Corviknight interrupts grabbing a saddle, trying to ask Pilot to get on with urgency. Pilot understands and gets on, telling Guy he’ll be back.

Corviknight flies Pilot near the Gloomwood forest, unable to properly enter. Here they run into a young girl and asks her if she had seen any strange in the area. She remarks just that the Corviknight had shot out of the forest earlier. The Corviknight interjects trying to signal to the forest. The girl mentions she know a shortcut in if they needed to get in there somewhere. Pilot agrees and the three, the girl, pilot and Corviknight, walk into the gloom. The girl leads them through a rough path with downed trees and they arrive at what was a cleared out spot for a camp. Pilot recognizes one of the leftover pokeball containers as being from the Taxi shop. The girl says that she didn’t know there were people staying in there and wonders how they were getting in and out if they weren’t from there. Pilot asks how the girl learned to get around as they head back out. She talks about how she grew up wandering around the forest with her buddew and wooloos. They’d somehow always know the way out. The girl lets Pilot call from her house to inform the police of the items he found. With this news begins to spread in Galar that the taxi service had their pokemon stolen.

The Rocket Leader decides she wants to scout before the event, which is a week away. The detective approaches Pilot with a request to help find the missing pokemon.

AND Thats part 1. Theres a few things about the climax and end I want to touch up and include drawings for. There are also some drawings I want to post separate to this post, but also want to rework since I feel like I have nailed the timing a bit better than when I originally wrote this idea out. I want to make the chracters look more like how I imagined they would have 26 years before SWSH, especially given it's the characters parents or their younger selves. So please look forward to it, I don't know when I 'll post the next part or the drawings just yet but this is the basis to start us off! Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time.
