It's a strange feeling; falling. To Misty it felt like she was falling forever. She clung on desperately for her dear life, but through the crippled Pidgeot's feathers she could see that falling was not her biggest concern. Two, maybe three Fearow were flying towards them at a terrific speed, each with a member from the illusive Team Rocket sat on its strong spine.
"Pidgeot! Pidgeot!" She cried out desperately through the strong winds, "Pidgeot! You've got to wake up! Please! Pidgeot!" Suddenly, she heard a loud welp from the bird Pokemon, Misty pulled herself up against the bird's mighty claws and looked back up. All she could see was a dark brown shadow. A Fearow's shadow. She clambered up his leg until she was almost on his back, but what she saw almost made her heart cry in horror. Fearow had imbedded his claws into Pidgeot's back and was now carrying both of them across the vast sky.
Misty used what little strength she had left to pull herself up onto the bird's back, and then cautiously she made her way towards Fearow's legs, trying desperately not to look down. As she moved, she could feel the mighty bird's racing heartbeat; she could hear his cries of pain, such pain. Worst of all, she could see the birds blood dripping out of his wounds. With every bit of strength she violently kicked its strong legs until the bird finally lost its grip. Pidgeot screamed again for a moment as the sharp claws were quickly pulled from its skin.
"Pidgeot, please!" Misty pleaded, "You're our last hope!" Misty's eyes swelled with tears as she realised just how much she was asking of him. Pidgeot's back was causing the bird agony and he was struggling to stay in the sky, whilst at the same time those Fearow were quickly gaining on them. All looked hopeless.
"Give up now!" A voice suddenly called from behind. As Misty turned her gaze, she saw the original 3 Fearow hovering behind them as Pidgeot slowed down, but there was something else now. A Skarmory, a huge fearful Skarmory with his master sat menacingly on his back. As she turned her head back around, one of the Fearow from behind her had suddenly appeared in front of her. I'm surrounded! "If you come with us quietly, we won't harm you."
"I don't believe you!" Misty yelled,
"I don't think you're in a position to doubt us, do you?"
Misty quickly looked around. He was right; there was no way out of this. Ash would know what to do. My only hope is to try and stall them for as long as possible. "Alright then tell me, why did you take Ash?"
The leader, or at least presumed leader, just snarled whilst he shook his head articulately. "Would a champion tell his opponent his tactics?"
"You've got me cornered, you could at least be decent and answer my question." Misty began to panic as her come back was followed with silence. She watched the man looked to the others around him, possibly for support, approval, suggestions? She had no idea but it seemed to her as though they gave him no encouragement or disapproval. Maybe he isn't a leader… either that or everyone is afraid of him.
"Alright, I will tell you that he is a key element in our plan."
"Well that much I gathered, do you…"
"If I tell you anymore I will be forced to kill you right here right now, I don't think you want that do you." Sharply cutting her short, "Now I suggest you make this easy and come quietly, Misty. Otherwise, it will a long fall for both of you."
A spark lit in Misty's eye. Fall, that's it! She looked back at Pidgeot and gently lowered her head to his ear, whilst trying to hide her lips from unwanted eyes. She looked back, giving the impression that she was going to give in. As the Skarmory trainer ordered his men around Pidgeot without any warning performed an incredible sky dive and began to hurtle towards the ground at an incredible speed.
"No!" He yelled, "After her now, go go go go go!" In quick succession, each Team Rocket goon followed her down, but they weren't as well trained as Pidgeot. When he mentioned the fall to the ground, it was then that Misty had remembered how hard Ash had trained with Pidgeot to improve his flying skills; including diving downward at incredible speeds just using gravity and not to mention flying through thick jungle. The perfect getaway, just as long Pidgeot has the strength to pull it of!
