"It carries a pendulum-like device. There once was an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized."- Pokedex entry
The nightmares had gotten worse recently. Hypno wasn't pleased by this at all. Little Michael shouldn't be having nightmares like this. He was a child, children were supposed to be happy as far as Hypno was concerned.
She supposed that it had to do with how her master had been acting as of late. Michael's father had left the house a year ago, and her master had acted in a manner unbecoming of a mother. There were times that Michael wasn't fed properly and Hypno had to fetch food for him herself. There have been incidents where Master comes home smelling foul. She always acts more harmful toward Michael then.
Michael was quieter now. She missed the old Michael that ran around and played with her. She didn't want to disobey her master, but Michael was more important now. Hypno knew that other pokemon wouldn't treat their children like this. She could take him to the woods and work with the pokemon there to take care of him. No, humans would be better equipped to raise a child. Maybe there were other adult humans that could take care of him? She decided that any other home was better than this.
Hypno walked into Michael's room. He was under the covers again. She reached under the covers and grabbed his arm.
"What is it Hypno?" he said.
She pulled his arm and he got up from under the covers. She pulled him over to the window and opened it. He started to pull back.
"No Hypno! Mommy will get mad if I leave! I don't want Mommy mad again, you know how she gets."
This was a problem. She had to get him out of here. She couldn't speak, so convincing him to leave was impossible. There was one way, but it seemed like overkill. It had to be done though if she was to help Michael.
Hypno used Hypnosis!
Michael fell asleep in her arms. She began to climb out of the window when the door swung open. It was her master.
"Hypno! What are you doing?! Get down!"
Hypno looked into her master's eyes. In a single moment, emotions were shared between them. Both eyes contained rage targeted at the other. Hypno jumped out the window.
She and Michael ran into the forest, and the mother never saw them again.
I wanted to write an alternate interpretation of the pokedex entry. One that doesn't lead to a horror story. I wanted it to be that the child was in a dangerous situation, yet didn't want to leave. The child had to be hypnotized in order to be taken to safety. I guess what happens after can be left to the imagination. Unless people want more than a one-shot?
