Biography
When Glikko begins playing around in his apartment, he notices Pippo flying by. Pippo introduces himself to Glikko and tells him about the chipmunks living at the vast North Forest. Glikko wants to go there, but Fluff decides to stay. The next morning, Pippo returns to tell Glikko that he's off to another race and warns him about the dangers and obstacles on his journey to the forest before getting attacked by a cat. Pippo regrets telling Glikko and thinks it's impossible for Glikko to be traveling on foot, but Glikko tells him he has made up his mind and he leaves as Glikko tells him to inform the chipmunks.

Eventually, Glikko, along with a female chipmunk named Nono, manage to make it to the forest. Pippo greets them and informs them that they have finally reached their destination. As the other chipmunks welcome Glikko and Nono, Pippo notices a fox coming after following them. Glikko tries to fend him off and Nono and Pippo try to help, but are vicious battled aside. Both of them survive and Glikko is chased onto a tree near a cliff. The other chipmunks call for Glikko to jump and he successfully jumps, while the fox plummets to his death. Glikko survives and the other chipmunks prepare a feast. Glikko requests Pippo to inform Fluff about the forest and he heads off to another migration race.
