Ash's Pidgeot

This Pidgeot is a /-type Pokémon owned by Ash.
==Biography==
It was caught as a Pidgeotto in the Viridian Forest and it was used in some gym battles, but always got hurt in battle.
It was used to slash Team Rocket's Meowth Balloon with its Quick Attack to stop them from escaping with Pikachu, but Team Rocket had a backup balloon to escape. After Team Rocket is blasted off by Charizard, Ash and the group were heading to the Orange Islands to bring the GS Ball back to Professor Oak as requested on the way. Ash was later attacked by a Fearow who leads a flock of Spearow and is the same Spearow that Ash wanted to catch it at the start of his journey who is now evolved into a very ferocious form. With Pikachu's Thunder Shock, Ash lands on the same tree where Team Rocket had landed. Ash manages to use Team Rocket as bait to be chased by Fearow and its flock. He let his Pidgeotto to convince all of the wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto to fly away and it succeeds and Fearow arrives to stop them from flying away as it attacks Pidgeotto and was hurt. As Pidgeotto was desperate to save all the wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto from Fearow, it suddenly evolved into a Pidgeot. Pidgeot allows Ash and Pikachu to be mounted by it to stop Fearow. It demonstrates its powerful Gust and Quick Attack on Fearow followed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt to weaken it. When the Fearow was weak, Ash tried to catch it, but failed to do so. Pidgeot teams up with all the wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto to attack Fearow multiple times making the latter flying away in fear. Ash released his Pidgeot to protect the Pidgeotto and Pidgey promising to come back for it after he delivered the GS Ball. It is last seen flying with a flock of wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto in the sunset. Although Ash promises to come back, Pidgeot hadn't appeared throughout the entire series. However, it's possible Ash came back some time around and decided to leave Pidgeot in the wild for a while.
In Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!, Pidgeot appears in Ash's flashback as a Pidgeotto where it warmed up Ash along with Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander while being stranded inside the cave during a blizzard.
After a really, really long absence, Pidgeot reappeared before Ash in the Viridian Forest to rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket using Wing Attack to break the net, allowing Pikachu to blast them away with Thunderbolt. It reunites with Ash and Pikachu as the flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto had appeared to see them and Ash states that its flock had grown so much. Ash had asked Pidgeot if it wants return to his party as the flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto tells it that they'll look after the flock while it goes back to its Trainer which it accepts. Pidgeot finally returns to Ash's party, and it was happy to see him again. Also, Pidgeot might have been informed about events that it missed as it reunited with its old friends Bulbasaur, Charizard, Kingler, Muk, Tauros and Mimey. Pidgeot was even introduced to the new friends Ash and the others have made since its absences, as it befriended them, especially the flying-types like Noctowl, Swellow, Staraptor, Unfezant, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern, and Dragonite.
