Charizard presses down on my chest; lights popping in front of my eyes I gasp for breath, clawing at it's foot.
"Harder," a man's voice commands.
The pressure increases and I feel one of my ribs crack. A hiss wheezes out of me and I know this is it, my entire body would soon be crushed.
"Enough," the same man's voice again. Giovanni. Also, my father.
Charizard releases me from the crush of it's intense weight. I lay; unable to move, razor pain gripping my entire body. Tears well up in my eyes as I reach for my Poké ball belt.
"Do you still refuse to take your rightful place as a member of Team Rocket?" His voice cut like a knife and my blood boiled at the sound.
"I will never fucking join you!" My fingers manage to grasp one of my Poké balls. "I choose you," I whisper as darkness takes me.
Aerodactyl emerges from the poké ball with a screech and grasps my limp body in its massive claws.
"Charizard, use outrage!" Giovanni yells, pointing up at Aerodactyl menacingly.
Aerodactyl unleashes a stunning rock slide attack and breaks through the Viridian Gym ceiling, into the crisp night air.
"After her!" Giovanni yells, red light beams glittering around him as he releases more Pokémon. Pidgeot, Dragonite and Charizard took to the skies behind us.
Aerodactyl screeches, it's body glinting as it uses rock polish. Banking on speed to make a quick retreat. I blink my eyes open, wincing in pain as wind quickly whips against my face. "Arrow, use rock slide again." Another hellish drum of rocks cascades from the sky behind us. "Climb into the clouds." I wheeze, as he ascends.
