I bought this old Pokémon Red cartridge at a garage sale.
I played it. It was like any normal Pokémon Red game, but as I made it to the Lavender Town, there was something wrong. The music was all staticky. I thought it was nothing more than a glitch. So I saved the game and restared.

When I started the game back up and continued, I noticed that I reappeared somewhere in the Lavender Tower. I was sure it was the Lavender Tower because that's the music it was playing in there. I walked around looking for the exit, but there was none. It was just a big circular room with no exit.

I walked back to the center of the tower to see my pokémon (just because). I saw that my entire team had been wiped away. All I had was a single Gastly. Level 1. Nicknamed, LIFELESS. I checked its stats. Everything was zero. Its only move was Night Shade. Its OT was SATAN. Its ID was 00666.

I closed the start menu and was shocked to see the sprite of an old man standing in front of me. I tried to walk in different directions but he just popped in front of me. He really wanted to talk to me. So... I pressed A...

With no warning I entered a battle with the man. When his trainer sprite locked into place, instead of hearing the "PING" I was shocked to hear a strange cry. A cry resembling Mr. Mime's Pokémon Stadium cry. That nightmarish laugh intimidated me. I expected the worst.

The old man had only but a Clefairy. Also level 1. LIFELESS, my Gastly only knows a Ghost-Type move, which if you stupid little shits didn't realize, doesn't affect Normal-Types. I used it, since I had no other choice. It turns out it actually does damage to Normal types. But It only does one damage. The old man's Clefairy did Pound. If you didn't know, Normal types don't affect Ghost types either. "This battle is gonna be a while" I thought to myself.

I was finally about to make the final blow and end this annoying battle, when suddenly a text box appeared in the middle of the screen: "HALT!!!" it said. The battle stopped.

Another text box appeared, "Leave this place..." suddenly a door appeared on the far end of the room. As I got to the door, my trainer fell to the floor. I expected everyone to walk the dinosaur, but to my surprise, a big black box appeared under him. He fell in. As the screen faded to black the Mr. Mime's laugh cry kept playing.

And then I died.

THE END
