Violet city 1:07am

Zolin couldn't get to sleep. All she could think about was her father. She knew many things about him, like his name was Giovanni; he was in charge of team rocket and was a Pokemon master. But there were so many things she didn't know. Like why he sent her a note saying that he was going to come save her.

Frankly, Zolin didn't know what she needed saving from. She had six powerful Pokemon, lived and worked at a flower shop with her mother and was really good friends with Falkner, the gym leader. Or maybe they were more than friends, but sometimes Zolin felt that Falkner cared more about his duties as gym leader than he did about her.

Zolin wasn't a normal trainer, for she didn't like to leave the city. She'd enter tournaments or contests whenever she could and always won. She'd also battle anyone with Pokemon who entered the shop, promising a free bouquet of flowers if they won. They seldom won and if they didn't, they usually came back to buy more flowers and for a rematch.

There was a crash on the roof, followed by Falkner screaming, "Run, Zolin! Team rocket's after you!"

Zolin wanted to go with team rocked and see her father, but she didn't want for Falkner to get hurt either. She climbed out her window and onto the room. An air battle was taking place between Falkner and a team rocket member on a Braviary. The team rocket member set out a Tropius and took out Falkner's Hoothoot and Dodrio, leaving him with only the Pidgeot he was riding on.

The Tropius then used Leaf Storm, leaving both Falkner and his Pidgeot unconscious and falling towards the ground fast. Zolin sent out her Skarmory to save them then sent out her Charizard and got on it.

Charizard was Zolin's first Pokemon. She had found it abandoned in the streets one night as a Charmander and brought it home and fed it. Charizard was Zolin's most obedient Pokemon, mostly because it bore a deep respect for her.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower on Tropius!" Yelled Zolin.

Charizard used said move and took out Tropius. Its trainer returned it and said to Zolin, "You must follow Braviary and I if you want to see you father."

"Sure," replied Zolin. "Skarmory, put Falkner and Pidgeot down on the ground."

Skarmory did as it was told and Zolin returned it. She followed the team rocked member into the night, the only light was the faint glow of Charizard's flame.
