The First of the Guardians & the Animals:
Kevin the Llama & Pontifex
On a bright sunny Friday in the summer in DillyDale, Kevin the Llama went to the DillyDale Lake to spend the entire day there, he brought his Beano Annual [2007], his travel radio, his sun glasses, his Dragon blanket and a lunch his mother had made for him. He laid out his Dragon blanket, sat down on it; put his sun glasses on, turned on his radio to "Can't Stop the Feeling" and began to read the first page of his Beano.
"This is the life," said Kevin to himself, "Sitting out here enjoying the sun."
Just then a capsule bearing the Pyrus Attribute symbol came flying from the heavens, and it crashed landed right next to Kevin, and it made Kevin jump and he walk carefully towards the capsule as it hiss and opened up and Pontifex step out woozily.
"That was some ride," he said and then he saw Kevin looking at him, and Pontifex looked deeply into his eyes, and instantly the two felt something click inside them. . . . Something like a bond. . . Suddenly, Kevin let out a scream of pain as the Pyrus Attribute symbol was onto his right leg and Pontifex let out a roar of agony as a llama footprint was burned onto his left wing.
After the pain faded Kevin & Pontifex were now as bonded partner and guardian. "What this?" Kevin asked as he stared at the Pyrus Attribute on his right leg.
"I know what it means," said Pontifex, "when a Bakugan like me meets someone like you, a special relationship takes place, and you have the Pyrus Attribute and I have a Llama footprint so that means you are my partner and I' am your Guardian, and by the way my name is Pontifex."
"I am Kevin the Llama," said Kevin.
"The name "Kevin" really suits a llama like you," said Pontifex.
"Thank you very much, Pontifex," said Kevin, "by the way, where did you come from in that capsule?"
"That is a long story," said Pontifex and he told Kevin all about the Destruction of Vestoria and how his parents had sent away him for safety.
"It's just not me that has been sent away from home," said Pontifex.
"What do you mean?" asked Kevin.
"6 more Bakugan have been sent away from Vestoria for safety as well," said Pontifex. For the rest of the day, Kevin and Pontifex went swimming in the DillyDale Lake and Pontifex said to Kevin:
"Kev," he said, "I'm really looking forward to enjoy living in DillyDale with you, partner."
"I am really glad to hear it," said Kevin, "my Pyrus Pontifex."
That evening, Kevin returned home with Pontifex, as they went through the back door that leads into the kitchen, his mother saw them coming home.
"Ah," she said, "Kevin you're home, come sit down, your supper is ready."
Kevin sat down at the table, his supper was carrot & apple soup, just then Kevin's mother saw Pontifex sitting on the table next to Kevin and she said to Kevin:
"Kevin, who is that?" she asked pointing to Pontifex and Kevin replied:
"Mum," he said, "this is Pontifex, he is my new guardian, and I'm his partner, and he has been sent away from his home, and now he has nowhere to live, can he please live with us?"
Kevin's mother smiled and she giggled before saying:
"Okay, Kevin as he is your guardian, he can live with us." Kevin jumped for joy before he and Pontifex both hugged each other, and Pontifex said to Kevin's mother:
"Thank you, Mrs Llama," he said. Kevin's mother told Pontifex that as he was the guardian of her son, he was allowed to call her "Mum" and that made Pontifex her adoptive son.
