Final Approach
A/N: My first upload! R&R please. My grammar isn't amazing, but I'd appreciate suggestions. ^^
The sound of rain tapped against the ground beneath me as I looked away from the faces that stared at me. Clouds above were dark and angry, thunder booming and lightning flashing. Immediately I knew I was alone and there was little means of escape I knew I had. Vaporeon was at my side and she could sense my fear. It was greater than any emotion I had ever felt and with every passing moment I could feel my heart beating louder and louder in my chest.
"You have nowhere left to run," he said. "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I warned you." I knew his voice out of the group. It was his voice, his face, that I had tried my hardest to avoid. If they could not succeed in my capture, he would. He would find a way as he had in every challenge he had faced before.
"It's not about running," I said, "it's about doing what's right."
He approached me, picking my face up gently. "Surely you realize right from wrong by now, my dear?" I wanted to slap the grin off his face that I saw under his rain coat. His expression turned dark and he glared. "I'm the one who will make the decisions and you chose to go against our cause. You will pay dearly for your mistakes, child."
I grew angry and went to go land a blow to his face until I was grabbed by a grunt behind me. Despite my struggle he was too strong for me. Vaporeon went to try to break me free until someone hit her, knocking her instantly unconscious. The grunt behind me whispered in my ear. "Call her back," he said quietly, "and she can go with you." I had no choice but to do so. I took the pokeball off my belt and called for her return, then returning the ball back to its place on my belt.
Within minutes I was tied by a rope and placed on the back of a Pidgeotto, sent up into the air of some unknown destination. The rain had soaked me by this point and I was freezing in the icy wind. Behind me was the beach of Fuschia and ahead of me was an unknown destination in the middle of the storm.
Time passed, time I had lost track of counting in my exhaustion. It was very late and little had I slept in days. I was nearly asleep on the back of the enemy Pidgeotto until the wind shifted terribly. The bird pokemon was struggling to keep pushing on in the storm. Suddenly we started going downward and I fought the ropes around my body. We crashed into the waves under us and I could feel myself slowly sinking with Pidgeotto. With strain I reached for my pokeball, calling for the aid of my friend. Vaporeon appeared in a flash of red light and shook herself awake, immediately seeing my struggle and trying to free me with her teeth. I was slowly losing consciousness until finally the ropes freed.
I reached up to wrap my arm around Vaporeon and we went to surface. I looked around me and I spotted a large wave forming over me. Quickly I tried to swim away but I was too slow. The wave crashed into me, sending me under the water, and into the murky darkness I fell of my own mind.
