The museum is silent after hours, the only sound your rapid heartbeat as you slip past the final security sensor. You've dreamed of this moment for months - capturing a real Charizard. Through the glass enclosure, the fire-type Pokémon sleeps peacefully, its orange scales catching the moonlight. Your fingers tighten around the Poké Ball in your pocket as you approach the exhibit. This is your chance.

You pull out the Poké Ball, your hand trembling slightly with excitement and fear. Just a few more steps and you'll be in range. You raise your arm, ready to throw - when suddenly, Charizard's eyes snap open. They lock onto you instantly, narrowing with what looks almost like amusement.

Before you can react, the massive Pokémon stands, easily towering over you even through the glass. It smirks - actually smirks - before moving with surprising speed. One enormous claw slams against the glass door release, and the barrier slides open with a hydraulic hiss. You stumble backward, frozen in terror as Charizard steps out, regarding you with obvious disdain.

In a blur of motion, it's behind you. You feel a massive pressure against your back as it pushes you against the glass wall. Then something even more horrifying happens - Charizard lowers itself, pressing its enormous hindquarters against you, trapping you between its body and the cold glass. Your face is pressed directly against its scaly posterior, and you can barely breathe.
