f yeah pokemon creepy-pasta

“But I want it so BADDDD…”

“Deal with it.” My roommate said, dragging me away from the counter, where the glowing heart-gold and soul-silver merchandises were. As I walked away, my gaze were still fixed on the beautiful ho-oh and lugia box-art, glittering with such heavenliness.

“I can not NOT have soul silver!” I whined, as she brought me over to the second-hand games corner. “I’ve played every game except gold and silver, and I can not NOT play the remake of silver!!”

“37 pounds,” she said, “What makes you think, a student like you, can spend 37 pounds on a video game?”

I pouted.

She grabbed an old silver cartridge, and tossed it over. “Here, 3 pounds, there’s something you can afford. And I can give you my old gameboy colour. Now stop whining and hurry up, I want to go top up my phone.”

I grumbled, taking another look at the stupid cartridge, retro pokemon… doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I turned the scratched plastic over and frowned, the title of the game was crossed out messily and beside it wrote: “Pokemon Silver version Forgotten Bronze”

Sweet! A Hacked game!

I hurriedly smacked the game into the good old gameboy colour and started. There was no starting music, or title. Just as I’d expect from a thrilling hack. There was one saved file, out of curiosity, I clicked it to know my previous trainer better.

I see gold’s sprite. He was in a dark cave, upon walking around, I don’t see any other trainers. Getting a bit bored, I opened the menu and checked his stats: It was a boy alright, he had Gold’s sprite but his name was Bronze. No money, No Badges, nothing in the bag except an escape rope. 

I was getting a bit bored, hoping his pokemons wouldn’t let me down.

A lonesome party with only a level 5 cyndaquil with some glitched up name. Why cyndaquil? I rolled my eyes, I swear, it’s gotta be the most overrated pokemon ever. I checked it’s stats, Unlike other G/S sprites, this cyndaquil has no fire on its back, actually, no torso at all. Its only move was endure and frustration.

It’s probably just some glitch, I shrugged it off.

I walked around some more, there was no music, no sounds although I turned the volume up. Suddenly, the screen blinked and flashed red, and I was into a battle scene with some wild pokemon. Finally! Some action!

A sprite of some glitched-up pikachu appeared. It’s glitched up so badly, I can only recognize the deformed ears and a bloody gaping mouth as it its screaming.

PIKACHU WANTS TO BATTLE!!

Strange… it’s a wild pokemon, right?

The choice box came up, carefully, I chose Endure, just in case the pikachu’s too strong.

CYNDAQUIL USED ENDURE!!

PIKACHU USED TACKLE!!

I bit my nails as the HP went down by half. “Endure!” I said to myself, “Endure it Cyndaquil!”

As I clicked on the endure, the back sprite of cyndaquil flashed red twice, and seemed to tremble.

CYNDAQUIL USED ENDURE!!

The HP gone down by another half as the pikachu strikes again.

It’s no use enduring anymore, who cares if I get to send back to the next pokecenter? I clicked on the Frustration.

The black and white cyndaquil sprite flashed red again, three times, and shook violently. 

I’M SCARED…

I freaked out, the cyndaquil continued to shake violently, flashing. The cyndaquil seemed to open it’s eyes, it’s red pupils staring straight at me.

When the choice menu came back on, I was relieved. I clicked on the Endure option straight away.

CYNDAQUIL USED ENDURE!!

IT FAILED!!

PIKACHU USED TACKLE!!

…

CYNDAQUIL FAINTED!!

The whole screen flashed red, once, twice, three times… as we return to the map, my cyndaquil appeared before my sprite.

Half-bodied, crying cyndaquil. 

A text box popped up:

USING ME AS A SHIELD FOR YOU

HAVE YOU NO SHAME

I started sweating, feeling uneasy and dizzy. The battle music played again, this time quick and low.

It was the trainer versus the cyndaquil. I shuddered as I saw the cyndaquil’s sprite, just as glitched and messed-up as the pikachu’s sprite. With the same, gaping, bloody mouth. It’s half-body looked like he was dragging himself towards the trainer.

CYNDAQUIL ATTACKED!!

I clicked on attack.

TRAINER STRUGGLED!!

Cyndaquil’s HP gone down by a half.

CYNDAQUIL USED FRUSTRATION!!

Cyndaquil’s sprite shook, and shook, and shook. Until the whole screen flashed red, bloody red.

IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE!!

I felt a lump in my throat as the trainer’s HP gone down to a mere 3 Points.

TRAINER STRUGGLED!!

But I got the faster of it, cyndaquil’s HP gone right down.

CYNDAQUIL FAINTED!!

As we return to the cave again, in front of gold’s sprite, was the sprite of a tomb stone from lavender town. I moved my shaking fingers to click on A.

It came up with an option:

USE ESCAPE ROPE?

>YES

>NO

Without hesitating, I chose Yes.

It all happened so fast, I felt like I was being hung, a thick, invisible string seemed to strangle me. I saw nothing but black and white as I dropped the Gameboy on to the floor.

—-

“Luna? Luna!”

I heard my roommate’s voice echo from above, I opened my eyes and saw her.

“Thank god…” she sighed in relief.

I opened my mouth to speak, but a sharp pain reached my neck. My roommate, being my best friend, understood what I meant.

“When I came back from shopping, I saw you strangling yourself on the bed. I thought you were trying to suicide or something, so I stopped you and called the ambulance.” She explained.

After recovering from shock, I’d told her I wanted to go to the toilet. Out of curiosity, I took the bandages off my neck, too see if it was just a dream. But a silent scream came from my aching throat as I saw…

The bloodied, rope marks.

This story is entirely true.

In HeartGold, I had an Unown I that I had named iGlyph. I had it on my party for a while, but I eventually got sick of only having Hidden Power and transferred it to my Pokewalker. I put it on the Dim Cave route.

Much later, I checked to see if I had enough Watts for the next route. I jumped as I turned the Pokewalker on, as iGlyph’s sprite wasn’t there. I went into the menu and came back, and he was still there. I had enough Watts, so I transferred him back.

I only noticed it out of the corner of my eye as I went into the menu, but there was a black shape in the Dim Cave icon. In retrospect, it almost looked like GHOST…

Anyway, there’s nothing else to the story. No strange behaviors from my walking Pokemon, no reappearance of GHOST, nothing. But iGlyph is staying in my box for a while…

Well… I’ll start from the beginning. I was lying in bed, tossing and turning because I couldn’t get to sleep. I was too excited about the new release of Pokemon Black and White to be able to rest. I got out my old gameboy advance, hoping that playing would make me tired.

A cartridge was already inside. Pokemon Yellow. I pressed ‘continue’. It had been years since I’d last played, but I didn’t have the patience to start from the beginning. I found myself outside Rock Cave, just outside Lavender Town. Text appeared on the screen: “Pikachu fainted”. I need to get to a pokemon centre. I walked forward, and as I walked, the screen flashed black, as it did when a pokemon was poisoned. After a few steps, text appeared on the screen again: “Clefairy fainted”. Another pokemon gone. I continued to walk, and the screen flashed again. “Cubone fainted”. “Pidgeotto fainted”. “Bulbasaur fainted”. “Mr Mime fainted”.

This story will have a slight explanation at the end. I had a theory going for awhile, and it’s time to implement it. 

I’m an avid Pokemon player, and I have been since Red and Blue game out. I can’t remember how much I was jumping for joy when my mother bought me and my brother a copy of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue -just because she felt like it-

Great parenting, I know. We didn’t complain, so we grabbed our old gameboys, dug around for the four AA batteries that were required and got to work. I my Red version I chose Charmander, and my brother playing blue chose Squirtle. He was older and would always find it fitting to have the upper hand but despite the type disadvantaged, I would always come out on top when it came to the battles. I went through the game with no problem, although there were a few times in my young age where I got upset. The game corner not letting me win, the GHOST in Lavender Town, but once I got past all eight gyms, it turned up. 

My team at the end consisted of my Charizard, Jolteon, Marowak (Who I spent literally an hour looking for in that tower) Nidoking, Poliwhirl (I never evolved it. I thought Poliwrath lookmed too weird.), and Vileplume. This is where it started to change. 

Upon walking through the first gates to the E4, there were no guards asking for my badge like they did with my brother. “Weird. But maybe he played my game and came here before?” I had muttered aloud, and easily and quickly skipped the tall grass heading into first room.

Lorelei didn’t give me a speech, and quickly entered the battle. I sent in my faithful Charizard, unknown of what type of Pokemon she used and was horrified to see that he already had type advantage on me. But despite this, all of my attack seemed to do an obscene amount of damage, even for ‘Not Very Effective’ and always OHKO’d her pokemon. 

Before the doors opened to the next room, she spoke. “You will fall like the rest. Go.” Just after she spoke, the screen cut to black as a cut scene usually did and she was not there anymore. Trying to shrug it off to a glitch, I continued on to face Bruno, Agatha, and Lance. All of them had the same problem with Lorelei. I would send out a type with no advantage and they would come out on top. 

Let me get this clear. At that time, I didn’t know what cheating even was. My game was clean, no Missingno, or anything. Upon defeating Blue, (I stuck with the names they gave me out of laziness), his sprite seemed to have a terrified look on his face. “J-Just rake it. Don’t take this away from me! Please!”

I blinked. Was that what he was supposed to say? The screen went black again and I heard the ‘slash’ attack noise come out of the spears at max volume before entering the Hall again, with RED alone. No Professor Oak, no Hall of Fame, just the game restarting was my reward. But not before text apperared. 

“…”

“I was warned. There is no turning back. They’re all mine. I worked for them. Not you. Get out.”

With those words, my game turned off and I couldn’t stop from smashing my GameBoy onto the floor. I wasn’t creeped out. I was pissed about the lack of reward. Upon pressing Continue, I noticed my team had changed a little. I had a level 65 Blastoise where my Poliwhirl used to be, and a level 5 Bulbasaur where my Vileplume once laid. 

The towns were different too, as no one would talk to me. I tried to have Professor Oak rate my PokeDex, but he wouldn’t. He just repeated “How could you do this to us?!”

I had enough. I turned off my game and let it sit for years. I bought every other game, all the way up to Soul Silver, which I used to play until up to recently. I had discovered Action Replay and I wanted to copy my original Red team onto the game so I hacked it, infinite money,TM’s, the works. I played through this game with a few times of freezing, but the strangest part was Mt.Silver. 

RED wants to Battle!

I was SO excited to fight him! One RED team against my old one! Sending out his Pikachu first, I nearly dropped my jaw and it’s level alone, since it had gotten higher from the original Gold and Silver. Level 88?! What the hell, right? So I sent out my Jolteon, figuring that Volt Absorb would take the advantage over the nasty little rat’s deadly attacks. 

Bad idea. Even with his hacked stats, my Jolteon fell to an extremely fast and powerful Iron Tail and as soon as I called him out, he was down for the count. But…this didn’t make sense. My Pokemon were all level 100, maxed IV and EV, yet this 88 Pikachu took one of mine down in one hit?

Growling, I send out my Marowak who withstood an easy Thunderbolt only to return with the tabled Bonemerang of death. Hitting twice, RED’s Pikachu bit the dust, and his trainer sprite appeared for a moment, perhaps some banter. 

“You’re like me…” He spoke, and sent out his Blastoise. But it had a dejected look on his face, and his cannon’s weren’t even out. 

Enemy Blastoise used Double Edge!

Wait, did Blastoise HAVE that move? Either way, it killed my Marowak, and somehow recoiled the same amount to itself and fainted. RED appeared again. 

“I needed to be the best.”

Enemy RED used PAIN SPLIT.

Wait, RED was attacking?! I saw the animation of the attack hit my trainer and when I went to check my team, it was the same as at the end of my old Red version. The Bulbasaur and Blastoise were there. 

I could only send out Bulbasaur as it was the only one alive, the rest of them fainted for some odd reason, but RED didn’t sent out anyone. He just talked, yet again. 

“That was Oak’s. I needed it. I needed BLUE’s Pokemon too.”

“You’re like me Ben. You cheat for your own gain. You don’t deserve the title of Champion no more than I do.”

“But it is my title. You deserve nothing.”

Enemy RED used ???

Before I could even question it, the game blacked me out. I restarted the game in a familiar room, but it wasn’t Gold’s.  The music was different too. It was Lavender Town Green Version.

It was Red’s. and behind me was his level 88 Pikachu.When I turn to speak to it replied with. 

“Pikachu thinks you’re a cheater. You should leave now.”

With that, my game shut off. I was literally shaking at all of this weird crap that happened to my simple Pokemon game. When i turned it back on, I hoped for the best only to find that Continue was gone. I could only make a new game. But I thought back for a second when RED spoke to me. 

My name is Ben. I named my character GOLD. 

——————————————————-

Theory: RED is a cheater. I can explain his entire line-up of Pokemon. 

He presumably started off with Charmander on his journey across Kanto. Upon defeating Leader upon Leader, he soon turned greedy for power and needed to have more. Below is how he got his pokemon. 

Charizard; Starter Pokemon.

Blastoise: BLUE’s Pokemon, stolen from him right after his defeat as Champion. You never seen him with any starter in G/S, since whatever it was, had been stolen by RED.

Venusaur: That last Pokeball on Oak’s table is empty or gone. RED came back at one point and took it upon himself to steal it to complete the set.

Pikachu: His only legitimate capture in Viridian Forest. Rare to find, he worked on raising it to godly levels. 

Lapras: A forced gift by a professor. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, RED used it to his advanatage of the hail on Mt.Silver.

Espeon: Stolen from Bill. I know what you’re thinking, that Bill never had an Eevee shown until G/S, but he could have very well taken it. That or it was the Eevee stuck in the terrible Pokeball for years in Celdadon City, and evolved out of gratitude to RED for saving it. 

Snorlax: RED woke up two Snorlax from a happy nap and used one of the, as an HM slave. How else do you think he got up there without Rock Climb?

I believe RED sits on Mt.Silver to atone for his misdeeds of theft and defeat he has let many trainers suffer. When you arrive and defeat him, he would thank you for setting him free, but he had lost his voice due to the harsh winds. But by defeating him, You give him a happy ending. 

That is my theory. 

I was completely emotionally sound tonight until my room suddenly started getting colder. My room is heated along with there being a floor heater beneath my desk. It felt like cold wind was blowing at the back of my head even when I turned off the ceiling fans (it gets stuffy.)

My Swinub has only been in the daycare since this morning. Does he miss me already?

My friends and I mixed Lavender Town’s theme and Pokemon Tower’s theme together. We thought you would enjoy it.

Storm, Luxray was yawning and stretching while Tidal, Blastoise was spinning on the bed above me.”Xarxa honestly , get up theres gonna be a robbery by the port at 8:00.”
