Wow, this place is active.

So, I found the first few chapters of a political thriller/race-relations drama thing I wrote a while ago. The twist is, it's set in a hellish, bureaucratic Pokemon universe. It involves a schmoozing Kadabra spin doctor, a clueless but attractive Russian emigre, a Lombre with a penchant for kicking people in the shins, a shrill Liberal woman, a tortured ex-thief, a debonair, julep-slurping Professor with wandering hands and a racist, lecherous main character with a love of women and drink. 

 

My question to you is: How would you write a scene where the President of a large country is kidnapped?

[L0SS]

It turns out that the land that the President's dwellings are situated on is actually a giant Torterra owned by the kidnappers, which rises up and walks away with the president, who is trapped (it's too high to jump off). Then you can go about your whole kidnapper/ransom shenanigans.

 

Or were you looking for something more logical/realistic?

He would be kidnapped by ninjas. It's believable.

I reckon that the best way to write the scene where the President is kidnapped is to not write it. The reader is more interested, more intrigued, by things they do not know; they like a bit of mystery, a bit of intrigue if you may. If you simply write a scene that shows us that the President has been kidnapped (i.e. his offices are empty, his security officials have been knocked out, there's a ransom demand, and so forth), it leaves it up to the reader's imagination as to what exactly happened.

I'm going with Roose's suggestion, as it seems an interesting thing to go with. And as he will be kidnapped by a former professional thief, the ninja theory is not far off reality.
