LAB RAT

Xiuhcoatl knew nothing of the outside world the moment she was born. As an egg, she was transported into a discreet laboratory in Shalour City by an illegal breeder in Turffield. Once she hatched, newborn eyes opened to the cold and hard white walls, not even a cry uttered. She was immediately hooked up and monitored, sitting in a cage too small to keep a Charmander confined in. When she was of age to understand orders, she began being tested on.

The laboratory's main goal was to create Pokémon that could permanently retain their Mega Stone evolution form. Such an ideal was impossible; the other Pokémon before her all passed from the strain of the demands of keeping the form. As she grew up, she began to see these failures; the fellow Pokémon that she grew up with became no more. She began to develop a growing enmity towards the scientists as she watched them pass by with dead bodies to be thrown out. It was then that she decided that once she became a Charizard, she would hone her powers that they will give to her and break free from the prison of their ideals, even though she might die trying.

And so, she bode her time. She withstood their cold and cruel hands that conditioned her body for the upcoming finale, hatred stirring inside a pot that she would unleash. When the day came that she evolved into a Charizard, the final testing begun. They went ahead with the procedures of merging her with a Charizardite Y, forever altering her DNA. Instantly, she began to have a fever, body struggling to adjust as she glowed and grew into a Charizard Y. The last thing she could remember was the sound of sporadic human chatter before going unconscious.

ESCAPE

TW: VIOLENCE

When Xiuhcoatl came to, she found that she survived the process. Instead of being overjoyed, she was met with despair. Why was she able to survive when the others didn't? Surely Arceus was playing with her. Her bitterness and contempt only grew stronger.

She was overcome with unending waves of fury. Before anyone could walk in and notice she was awake, she ripped the cords from her body and destroyed the cage she was confined in. A commotion like that was naturally going to gain attention; a group of scientists came rushing in to see what had happened. Seeing the humans that caused her suffering, she saw red and began the slaughter fest. She ripped apart her captors by her bare teeth and burned her surrounding, attempts at capture futile for her newfound strength was too much to deal with. However, numbers were always greater than mere strength, and soon she was outmatched at the sheer number of enforcers that came barreling in wave by wave. She wanted to free the other captive Pokémon as well, but there was no time. With a last push, she protected herself with the flames and forced her way out, flying to the skies.
