And Abandon would likely piss it off more and make into something even worse. And torturing it would make you no better then the Pokémon, or hell make you no better then a slave owner.

And yet Ash's kindness payed off. He didn't treat his Pokémon like crap and Charizard soon lighten up and was a MAJOR reason why Ash won a majority of his battles. Ash wouldn't have won the Orange Islands, or the Battle Frontier, without Charizard. Hell he would have died in the 3rd Pokémon movie had Charizard not saved him.

If you REALLY think torturing or abandoning Pokémon is the best course of action, rather then making an effort to make the Pokémon like you or show you are strong trainer, then you should maybe look into something else.
