Forced: How do the pokemon that you have to trade to get their final evolution feel? One shot from Mystery (my Alakazam's) pov.
I remember the day you caught me, mainly because you caught me by surprise. My species has avoided being caught mainly by sensing the thoughts of nearby trainers and teleporting away whenever you get too close. But that day, I was distracted by a pink blob flying through the sky. It was psychic too, i could tell by the way it's giggles penetrated my daily meditation.
"Come play with me."
And although the invitation from a pokegod was very tempting, I was barely up from my spot when I felt something hit the side of my head and everything went black. The next thing I knew, I was in a pokemon centre, meeting all of your other pokemon. Apparently you had been looking for an Abra for a long time, as you were going to challenge Erika's gym next, and knew that her grass types would stand no chance against a psychic type. Unfortunately, the only attack I know is teleport, which while useful in evading and annoying predators, isn't really a good attack move, as you found out when you challenged another boy with a machoke. Boy were you sore in the morning.
But no one ever accused you of being stupid (except for that strange boy who always seems to be waiting for us at the gyms, but that's a different story), and so you found a daycare to take me in. It didn't take long under their care and attention that I found myself evolving into a Kadabra.
When you came back for me, all you could talk about was how unstoppable I was going to be now, how you were going to teach me all sorts of new moves. For a while, I even tricked myself into believing that it was enough, that my immense power as a Kadabra would keep you happy. H
ow wrong I was. It was barely a week after I had evolved when we came to a 'trading' festival. I didn't know what it was, and didn't like the cries I could hear of the dispondant pokemon as they were traded to trainers who were unsuitable to them or their personalities. I tried everything from bribery to begging, but nothing would stop you. Soon I felt my pokeball being transported, and when I was let out again, I could feel the increase in brain size, and in power. I had become an Alakazam.
How could you do this to me? I feel as though I've been violated in the worst way, and it isn't over yet. The trainer you traded with trades me back to you, and I can't help thinking that with my new abilities, it would be a relatively easy thing to break your mind in two. I wonder if you even considered how much it hurt to evolve when I wasn't ready, or that I never wanted to be an alakazam, but reading your thoughts, I can see that the only thing that matters to you is power. Well I'm powerful now, powerful enough that I don't think I need you any more, and with my new brain power, it won't be hard to make it look like an accident....
End
I did trade my Kadabra to my brother for a Graveller so we could both have the evolved versions, and then I traded back. But if you think about it, this would be a violation of the worst sort, forcing a pokemon to become stronger by trading them just to get their evolved versions.
