I'm not sure if it different for each GC but there was an NPC with a quest in Camp Tranquil that allowed you to get your battle chocobo.
There's a quest that starts from Camp Tranquil called "My Feisty Little Chocobo". I don't know what level it starts, potentially 30, but all I know is that it's unavailable for me at level 28.
you get the quest at camp traquil or something.
Apparently there is a level 30 quest that unlocks your Chocobo companion..either that or it starts the chain quest that unlocks it. I saw somebody with his companion out along with Carbuncle and that's what I was told after asking.
To confirm, I now have my chocobo as a battle companion after going to Docette in Camp Tranquil after reaching level 30. You must do a short little quest where you go to Bentbranch Meadows, then get a quest item nearby, then voila!
Interesting things to note: Your chocobo doesn't have any abilities and can only stay in "free stance" from the beginning. As it gains experience from you killing things together, it goes up "ranks". Each rank you can add a new ability to one of the 3 "trees" or "specs".
its levels slowly and the quest is indeed 30
