Revenge

I was recently in my attic, digging around old dusty boxes, taking a trip to Nostalgialand, when I saw a small little box in the corner. I opened and found my old Game Boy Color, and a Pokemon Crystal cartridge.

I put the cartridge in the system and turned it on. Surprisingly, it started up immediately, since I expected the batteries in the GBC to be dead, but I just took my mind off it.

I found a “continue” option in the start up menu, so I checked it out. I started out in a place with many caves, trees and lakes that I didn't recognize, and I checked my trainer card. My trainer name was simply the letter H, and I had received all eight badges. I checked my Pokemon party and found only six.

The first one was a Level 15 Cyndaquil, named “LEAVE.”

The second was a Level 11 Rattata named “BEFORE.”

The third was a Level 13 Pidgey named “IT'S.”

The fourth was a Level 12 Sandshrew named “TOO.”

The fifth was a Level 9 Nidoran named “LATE.”

Leave before it's too late.

And the sixth was a Level 2 Weedle without a nickname.

I found a stairway that led to a lake. I went down it and went into the water. As I went even more in, my trainer began to slowly fade away, until my trainer spun several times like it does when you use the Escape Rope to get out of a cave, and the screen cut to black.

The screen stayed black for a while before a loud cry of a Weedle was audible. Then I was thrown into a hollow, gray room, blood splattered on the floor, with no way out. There was nothing in it but a sleeping old man covered in blood in one corner and a blood-slick sign in another. The sign read: CONFINEMENT.

I tried to talk to the man, but he wouldn't talk...

I went to my Pokemon party. The Weedle was gone. All of the other Pokemon had each went two levels higher than they were before.

And they had different nicknames too.

This time, the Cyndaquil had evolved into a level 17 Quilava named “DO.” The Rattata was now level 13 and was named “WHAT.”The Pidgey was now level 15 and was named “YOU'RE.” The Sandshrew was now level 14 and was named “TOLD” with a period at the end. The Nidoran was now level 11 and was named “LEAVE.”

Do what you're told. Leave.

I could not understand what the Pokemon were trying to tell me to do. I tried using my escape rope to get out of the Confinement room, and sure enough, it worked. But this time, there was a smaller room, just like the Confinement room. It had the same features: blood-splattered floor, blood-soaked sign at the corner. And the old man.

I tried to talk to him again, and he still wouldn't talk.

A few seconds later, I saw a transparent figure enter the room. He looked just like the old man. He stopped in front of my trainer. He said: “Remember the message. Leave before it's too late. Do what you're told. Leave...” He disappeared.

I thought he meant to use my escape rope by “leave”, so I checked my item pack to get it out.

It was gone.

The screen turned to black.

Then it came back to the same room, but it was even smaller. The old man was still there, and still asleep.

I read the sign. It still read CONFINEMENT.

I checked my Pokemon. They now had different nicknames.

The Quilava was named “WE'RE.”

The Rattata was named “COMING.”

The Pidgey was named “FOR.”

The Sandshrew was named “YOU.”

The Nidoran was named “NOW.”

We're coming for you now.

Then all five Pokemon came into the room and closed in on me. Then the Quilava said, “You abandoned us.”

That was strange. Pokemon couldn't talk...

The Sandshrew said, “Now you will pay.”

And the screen cut to black.

A message popped up, saying “70 YEARS LATER...”

The screen cut back to the room. My trainer was gone. The old man was still there, sleeping at the corner.

Then the Pokemon came in closed in on the old man. The Quilava said, “You got what you deserved.”

And the screen cut to black again.

I tried to play the game again countless times, but it didn't work. I didn't know what to do with the cartridge. But after a few months, I was able to sort out the meaning...

My Pokemon were mad that I “abandoned” them. I stopped playing the game many years ago, and they were lonely. They were angry with me. They depended on me.

It seemed that they had organized a plan to get revenge on me. So when I played the game, they led me to a place where I couldn't escape. Where they'd have me trapped. They tried sending me a message, saying to leave if I want to live. But I could not understand why they wanted me to leave, if they didn't want me to leave? It was probably a challenge, to tempt me to not listen to them and fall right into their trap...

I now understand what was the deal with that room. The Pokemon sent me into the lake and down into the room. It turns out that they had sent me to the future, and that old man was my future self. They wanted me to try and figure out my fate, but before I could, my Pokemon killed me and left my body in that room forever. It turns out that old man wasn't sleeping.

The old man was dead.

UNNAMED

I used to be a hardcore person at Pokemon. On every version, I always trained my Pokemon to at least level 50. I was also very selective about what Pokemon I caught. I only caught ones that had some or a lot of potential.

Shortly before the release of Diamond and Pearl, I wanted to play my old Pokemon Red cartridge on my old Game Boy Pocket, just for the fun of it, just to relive the good ol' days of my childhood. So just a day before Diamond and Pearl came out, I played Red. And what happened was not what was supposed to happen.

The Game Freak logo came up regularly, followed by a short cutscene of a battle between a Nidoran and a Jigglypuff. I skipped to the regular menu, but at the bottom, there was a box that read: THE FILE DATA HAS BEEN DESTROYED!

Well, that kind of sucked for me, because I was really hoping to check out how far I was in the game, since I hadn't played Blue in a very long time, and I couldn't remember where I was. So I simply selected NEW GAME and skipped through Professor Oak yakking on about stuff that I'm clearly already aware of. When the option to choose my trainer name came up, I made it “Ryu,” and I named my rival “Blanka,” since I was also an extreme Street Fighter fan at the time.

After more of Prof. Oak blabbering on, I finally got to play the game for real. I went to the tall grass where Oak would come out and warn me about how wild Pokemon live in the grass and I need my own Pokemon for my own protection, and yadda yadda yadda. But surprisingly, Prof. Oak did not come, so I checked my Pokemon.

There was only one. A level 5 Zubat.

How was that even possible? I checked its stats, and it only had one attack: Leech Life.

I went out of the Pokemon menu and checked my Pokedex data. And there were all 150 Pokemon there. Again, how was that even possible?

I went to my trainer card. There were all eight badges there. What?

I navigated away from the trainer card and went back to the actual game. I moved one pace forward and was immediately attacked by a level 2 Rattata.

I ordered my Zubat to use Leech Life, since it was the only attack it had learned. The box at the bottom said: ZUBAT used LEECH LIFE!

Then something strange beyond belief happen. At the bottom, the box said: ZUBAT: Join with me. Give me your lifeforce. Help me reach my goal...

Then the Rattata dissolved into pixels as all of its health was taken away. While it was happening, the Rattata gave out a high-pitched cry. And then complete silence. At the bottom, there was no message saying “RATTATA has fainted!”.

The battle ended and I was back in the tall grass. I went out of it and saw a lady, simply staring ahead. I tried to talk to her, and she responded: “Release your Zubat now, young trainer. Leave it and let it die. Do it now before it is too late!”

Then at the bottom, the message box came, saying “ZUBAT used LEECH LIFE!”. And the woman slowly faded away.

I tried to get to Viridian City as fast as I could, but kept running into more and more wild Pokemon. I tried to run from the battles, but the message box said, “ZUBAT will not allow you to leave!”

I mostly ran into Pidgeys, each level 2's or 4's, and my Zubat kept using Leech Life. Every time it did that, the same thing happened to the Pidgeys as it did to the Rattata: it dissolved into pixels.

During the end of each battle, I noticed that my Zubat kept growing in 2 or 4 levels. Before it was only level 5, and now it was 16.

After five battles, I finally reached Viridian City. I went to the Pokemon Center and went to the PC to release my Zubat like the woman had asked me to, but when I selected “release Zubat”, it quickly navigated away from the PC menu, and the message box appeared again, reading “ZUBAT used LEECH LIFE!”

Then my trainer slowly started to fade away...

After a few seconds the screen cut to black. Then it cut to a big room, with no escape. At the corner was the same lady that had told me to release the Zubat. I tried to talk to her, and she replied: “The Zubat is too strong. The more it uses Leech Life, the stronger it gets!”

And then the the room shook. The cry of a Zubat was audible.

The woman continued, “I shouldn't have said that! Me discussing the Zubat has only angered it!”

And the woman was suddenly pulled right out of the room.

The screen cut to black. After ten seconds, the screen cut to a graveyard. The Zubat came into view and flew toward one tombstone. The message box appeared, reading “ZUBAT: Thank you, master. You've been a great help...”

And the screen cut to black once more.

To this day, the cartridge lies in an old box in my basement. I still played the game, but I abandoned the old cartridge and bought a new one off of eBay. The weirdest part is, however, that when I played that new cartridge of Red, the same thing happened. Every time I played it, the same thing happened. Every time I played any Red cartridge, the same thing happened.

The Zubat's true motives was to suck away the lifeforce of all of the Pokemon he ever faced. By doing this, he becomes stronger. He wanted to not only haunt me for the rest of my life, but to be the best.

But why did he have to do it to me and me only?

It turns out that when I was a kid, I used to say that Zubats were terrible. Some of the suckiest Pokemon ever. The Zubat was apparently offended. The Zubat wanted revenge. He wanted to show me that I was wrong.

Sometimes, when go to sleep, I hear faint voices in my head. It quietly whispers, “I am the best. I am the best...”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Unown Mystery

I still remember those good old days, when I used to always play Pokemon. I remember those good old days when the principal used to confiscate my Game Boy Color all the time but just give it back to me at the end of the week. Good times. Good times...

Now I live as a simple college freshman. I've grown apart from Pokemon and moved on to Call of Duty. Although, nostalgia really slugged me in the gut, egging me to relive the glory days return to the past. However, I had lost my copy of Pokemon Crystal, so I only have my Game Boy Color. I didn't really want to play Crystal on an emulator, since it would give me a warmer feeling if I played it on the actual console, so I ended up buying an old cartridge of the game off of eBay.

It subsequently came in the mail about a week later, so during a weekend I opened it and started playing it. The Game Freak logo came normally, followed by a lengthy intro animation which I found quite annoying, but it didn't skip when I tried to make it.

At the end of the intro animation, instead of the Suicune running-cycle animation at the bottom of the menu, there were several Unowns. They kept appearing and disappearing, but I made out the letters to spell “PLZLEAVE”.

I just continued on to the menu without thinking about it and selected “continue” to see where the previous owner was in the game just out of curiosity. The trainer name was just the letter “K”. Amazingly, in his Pokedex were all of the Pokemon in existence (at least in the first and second generations), but he didn't seem to have any Pokemon in his party but one, which was a level 12 Totodile. He was inside a cave at the Ruins of Alph where the Unowns were, right in front of the wall with the cryptic Unown message. But the strange part was that there were no NPCs in sight. I read the wall.

Instead of saying “ESCAPE”, the wall read “LEAVE US ALONE,” and the eyes of the letters were red.

I noticed there were three other walls with messages too. The first one said “LEAVE,” the second one said “US,” the third one said “ALONE,” the fourth one said “OR,” the fifth one said “FACE,” the sixth one said “DIRE,” and the seventh said “CONSEQUENCES.”

Leave us alone or face dire consequences.

It quickly became evident that this was obviously a hack created by the previous owner just to freak out the person who bought the cartridge, but before I had time to really think about it, a hole appeared in the ground just below my trainer, and he fell down it.

The screen cut to black, and then to another room with Unown patterns on the walls, but this one was much darker with many NPCs, lying on the ground, seemingly asleep. The Unown music tune was playing in the background. My trainer sprite came into view. I tried to talk to them and wake them up, but they wouldn't respond. The only one that would was an old man at the top right corner of the cave. I found only one wall. It read: YOU ASKED FOR IT.

I walked over to the NPC and talked to it. The message box appeared saying: “OLD MAN: The Unowns are unhappy when humans visit their ruins. They try to make you leave, but if you disobey, you'll be trapped underground for the rest of your life. It seems you just got here. I've been here for quite a while. I forget how long. Maybe forty years? Nevertheless, I've been able to stay alive by finding resources in the ground.”

He stopped talking, and I tried to talk to him again. He gave me some new information: “Oh, who are those other people? Those are people who faced a similar fate as my own, but unfortunately they were chosen by destiny to be killed by the Unowns that live in this cave. The Unowns decide who they will have to sacrifice to make room for new residents. People constantly come into the Unown cave and land down here. Oh well. I guess I have you for company, at least.”

There was nothing that I could do here. No wild Pokemon to battle. No trainers to battle. Just simply...nothing. After thirty seconds, the screen cut to black. The message box appeared, saying “50 YEARS LATER.”

The screen cut back to the cave. The man at the corner was now lying down, and I figured him to have been chosen to die by the Unowns. My trainer was now elderly. I paced the room several times before the message box said “SACRIFICE TIME!”

The game immediately cut to the battle screen, with an H-shaped level 100 Unown with a red eye. At the bottom, it said “UNOWN used KILL!”

Unowns couldn't use the attack “kill”--and that attack didn't even exist.

Or did it?

Before I could think, the screen flashed white several times and then cut to black again. Then, there was a short animation of an old man slowly crumpling before falling on the ground.

The screen was black a final time.

Then a few Unowns came from either side of the screen and met in the middle forming one word.

RIP.

And whenever I played that cartridge of Pokemon Crystal, the same thing always happened whenever I entered the cave with the mysterious Unown hieroglyphics. Usually when I play it, I just don't bother to ever even go into the Unown cave at the Ruins of Alph My current theory of why it happened was because the previous owner was either a really good programmer or hacker and he altered the game to make that happen, or it was just some demonic force with one sole purpose—to give me a sense of fear. I even have a feeling that it will come again, in some other area in the game.

To be continued...

(Yes, that's right. The Unown Mystery will have a sequel, and it will be coming soon.)

These are REALLY GOOD! Someone needs to make a book of EVERY POKÉMON CREEPYPASTA EVER!! 

As long as mine are in there I agree!

Before I could think, the screen flashed white several times and then cut to black again. Then, there was a short animation of an old man slowly crumpling before falling on the ground.

The screen was black a final time.

Then a few Unowns came from either side of the screen and met in the middle forming one word.

RIP.

And whenever I played that cartridge of Pokemon Crystal, the same thing always happened whenever I entered the cave with the mysterious Unown hieroglyphics. Usually when I play it, I just don't bother to ever even go into the Unown cave at the Ruins of Alph My current theory of why it happened was because the previous owner was either a really good programmer or hacker and he altered the game to make that happen, or it was just some demonic force with one sole purpose—to give me a sense of fear. I even have a feeling that it will come again, in some other area in the game.

To be continued...

(Yes, that's right. The Unown Mystery will have a sequel, and it will be coming soon.)

Leave before it's too late Weedle 

Guys, just snip the uber-long stories out of those posts. Think about those who don't like Pocket Monsters.

Anyway (I take no credit ):
Once, there was a boy who loved to read. He read everything he could get his hands on, and loved going to his favorite book store. One day, the boy realized he had read everything the store had to offer. He confronted the owner, and asked him if he had anything the boy had never checked out. The owner said why, yes, I do, and pulled out a book called “Death”. He gladly sold it to the boy at a discounted price of $50. However, he warned the boy, never to read the front page.
Well, the boy returned to his house and read the book, and he was content. However, he always wondered, what could be on that front page, it was always in the back of his mind. One day, the temptation was too much for the boy, and he flipped to the very front of the book, and dropped the book in HORROR. There, in bold print, was MSRP $6.99.

    Dear Journal,
    Mom bought me this nerdy journal because I complained my pen-pal, Anna, never wrote me. “Now you’ll have something to write in every day!” she said, looking all sunshine-y. Ugh! I don’t want to hurt her feelings though, so I’m going to write. I just won’t show anyone.
     I don’t have a lot to write about. My name is Cassandra, but everybody calls me Cass. I’m twelve. I have a weird little sister named Melanie, who’s six. Mom says she’s not weird, she’s just a little kid, but I make her go upstairs when I have friends over anyway. She acted like a cat for three months last year. Just this morning she made up yet another imaginary friend.
    “I have a new friend named Finn!” she said. (Liar.) “He’s twelve like you, Cass, but he looks different. He has black hair, and his eyes are gray. They’re nicer than yours.”
    Like I need reminding! My whole family has blue eyes, but mine are ugly and brown. Everyone says they’re nice, but I don’t think so. So I told Mel to go away and stop lying. She said she wasn’t lying, which was a lie right there.
    I’m going to soccer practice now and I will never, ever write in here again.

June 5, 2010
    Dear Journal,
    Okay. So I know I said I’d never write again. But today is so hot, and boring! And Mel was actually having a conversation with “Finn”. Bizarre! She was sitting out front on our porch, talking to him. I don’t know how it went exactly, but it was really weird anyway. I told Mel that if she was going to talk to Finn, she’d better do it inside so the neighbors don’t, like, report her to an asylum or something. But she just glared at me all cold and said, “Finn doesn’t want to come inside.” RIGHT!

June 6, 2010
    Dear Journal,
    If Mel doesn’t knock it off soon, I’M going to be the one to report her to the asylum. She’s starting to creep me out! Last night she said seriously, “Cass, Finn wants me to come to where he lives. Should I go?”
    I wanted to scream “FINN!! ISN’T!! REAL!!!!!” but I just said mock-seriously, “No, Mel, you can’t go to stranger’s houses.”
    Her eyes got all big and she said, “Finn used to live at our house.”

June 7, 2010
    Dear Journal,
    I kind of lost it and I shouted at Melanie, “Mel, shut up about Finn already! He doesn’t exist!!” It sounds mean, but she was scaring me. She’d been talking with nobody for about an hour, and she was having fun! I’ve seen insane people do stuff like that. I knew Mel was beyond weird!
    I feel sorry now, though. I made her cry. She said, “Well, if you don’t like me here, maybe I should just go with Finn!”
    Then I yelled, “Great, whatever, just LEAVE! You’re creeping me out!!” She was, too. And then she left.

June 10, 2010
    I couldn’t write yesterday or the day before… I haven’t even spoken to anyone barely at all.
    Melanie’s gone. She disappeared.

June 10, 2011
    I saw something today that made me dig up my old journal and read the entire story over. And now I’m feeling sort of dizzy, and sick. Because Mel never came back home. The police never found her. I still miss her and I think maybe it’s my fault, because I told her to leave…
    And today I think I had a hallucination. I must have. Because today a boy tried to stop me on the sidewalk and talk to me, but I wouldn’t stop running. He just disappeared when I turned to glance at him to see if he was real. The boy was about twelve. He had black hair, and gray eyes.

That was...wow...

I think I deleted all of the swears and bad stuff

During the first few days of the release of Pokemon Red and Green in Japan, back in February 27, 1996, a peak of deaths appeared in the age group of 10-15.

The children were usually found dead through suicide, usually by jumping from heights. However, some were more odd..

The few children who were saved before killing themselves showed sporadic behavior. When asked why they were going to hurt themselves they only answered in chaotic screams and scratched at their own eyes. When showed what seemed to be the connection to this attitude, the gameboy, they had no response, but when combined with either Pokemon Red or Green, the screams would continue, and they would do their best to leave the room it was located in.

This confirmed the authorities suspicion that the games, somehow, had a connection to these children and the deaths. It was a strange case, because many children who had the same games did not show this behavior, but only a few. The police had no choice but to pursue this, since they had no other leads.

Collecting all the cartridges these children had purchased, they kept them sealed away as strong evidence to look over later. They decided the first thing to do was to talk to the programmers themselves. The first person they met was the director of the original games, Satoshi Tajiri. When told about the deaths surrounding his games, he seemed slightly uneasy, but admitted nothing. He lead them to the main programmers of the game, the people responsible for the actual content.

The detectives met Takenori Oota, one of the main programmers of the game. Unlike Satoshi, he did not seem uneasy, but very kept. Explaining that it was impossible to use something like a game to cause such deaths, and also bringing up the point that not all the children were affected, he brushed it off as some kind of odd coincidence or mass hysteria. It seemed like he was hiding something, but he wasnt giving way. Finally, he did say something interesting.

Takenori had heard a rumor going around that the music for Lavender Town, one of the locations in the game, had caused some children to go ill. It was only a rumor, and had no real definite back up, but it was still something to look into.

He directed the detectives to Junichi Masuda, the music composer of the series. Masuda had also heard of these rumors, but again said they had no evidence that his music was the cause. Even to prove a point he played the exact song from the game completely through with no effects to anyone, the detectives nor Masuda himself, feeling anything different or odd. Although they still had their suspicions of Masuda and the music of Lavender town, it seemed they had reached another dead end.

Going back to the cartridges they had seized from the homes of the children, they decided to take a slightly more direct look at the games. They knew that it was these games that gave the children the ill effects, so they took extreme caution. Popping in the cartridge and turning the console on, the game screen booted. The title screen appeared, and the option to continue or create a new game appeared.

When they chose to continue the game, stats of that game appeared. They saw the names of the children who had played, usually Red or another simple name. However, the interesting thing was the time played and the number of Pokemon they owned. On every game, the time was very low, and all of them had only a single Pokemon in their inventory. They came to the stunning reality that it could not have been the music from Lavender town that had caused such ill effects in the children, since it was impossible to reach that part of the game in such small amount of time and with only one Pokemon in their inventory. This brought them to the conclusion that something early on in the game had to be the cause.

If it wasnt the music, nor the title screen, it had to be something within the first few minutes of the game itself. They had no choice but to turn off the game now and go back to the programmers. Asking for a list of all the programmers from Takenori, they found, surprisingly, that one of the programmers had committed suicide shortly after the game was released. His name was Chiro Miura, a very obscure programmer who had provided very little for the game. Even more interestingly, he had requested his name did not appear in the credits of the game, and so it was not.

Looking over the evidence found at Chiros apartment, they found many notes written in bold marker. Most of it was crumbled, or marked out, making it very difficult to read. They few words they could find in the mess was Do not enter, Watch out and COME FOLLOW ME in bold. The detectives were unsure what these meant, but knew they had to have a connection. Further searching, they discovered Chiro was good friends with one of the map designers, Kohji Nisino, and this was probably the only reason Chiro had given a part in making the game.

Kohji Nisino, since the release of the game, had locked himself in his apartment, barely leaving in the dark of night to fetch anything he might need. He told his friends and family he was mourning for his dear friend Chiro, but they didnt believe this, since Nisino had locked himself up the day the game was put in stores, a few days before Chiro had killed himself.

It was troubling, but the authorities finally persuaded Nisnino to sit down and speak with them. He looked as if he hadnt slept in days, dark rings under his eyes. He stunk, his nails had grown black and his hair was greasy, sticking to his forehead and neck. He spoke in stutters and murmurs, but at least he had something to say.

When asked if he knew anything about the children who had died after exposure of the game and if it had any connection to the game, he answered them seemingly carefully, choosing his words thoughtfully before answering. He told them that his friend Chiro had an interesting idea with the game, something he had wanted to try since he heard the project was starting. Nisino himself knew Takenori, the director and main programmer, for a long time, so he could easily get a mediocre programmer in on the project with a little persuasion. It seemed Chiro had convinced Nisino to get him in on the project, and it had worked.

The detectives knew they were on to something. This unknown obscure programmer, Chiro, had to have something to do with it, something... They asked what Chiros idea was, why he wanted so badly to have a part in making this childrens game. Nisino told them that Chiro never told him much about it, other than a few details every now and then. He wanted to insert a special Pokemon in the game, one completely different from all the others. It would serve as an extra, a kind of out of place thrill for the player. It wasnt, however, Missing No. It couldnt be. With the gameplay time recorded on the cartridges, it was impossible for the children to have time to meet that Pokemon.

Nisino, throughout the entire conversation, seemed to break down even more with every question. The detectives pushed him more and more, searching through his mind for any and every scrap of knowledge this man had no game and Chiro... and Chiros intentions...

It was when they asked about the notes found in Chiros home that he snapped. From under the couch Nisino was sitting on he whipped out a pistol, pointing it straight at the police while backing away a few steps. Then, just as quickly, he brought the pistol to his face.

Dont follow me... muttered Nisino as he stuck the pistol in his mouth and pulled the trigger. It was too quick for the police to react. It was done. Nisino had killed himself, repeating slightly differently what was written on one of Chiros papers...

It seemed all leads had finally died. The team who had created this original game were splitting up, becoming harder to find. It was as if they were keeping a secret. When the police finally managed to talk with anyone who had parts in the game, even the obscure character designers or monster designers, it seemed they had nothing of interest to say. Most of them didnt even know Chiro, and the few who did only seen him once or twice working on the game itself. Throughout all of this the only confirmation they had was that Chiro was indeed the one who had worked on the very early parts of the game.

It had been a couple of months after the original children suicides and the death rate had dropped dramatically. It seemed that the game was no longer giving any ill effects to any children. The call back of the games that was planned was canceled, since it seemed the game was no longer harming any children. They had began to think that maybe Takenori was right and it was all just a very odd coincidence or mass hysteria... Until they received the letter.

It was given to one of the detectives himself, quite directly out on the street. It was a woman who gave him the note, a very frail, thin, sick looking thing. She gave him the letter quickly, telling him it was something he needed to see, and without waiting for a response or another word, she disappeared into the crowd. The detective brought it to his office, and calling the others in, he brought it out and read it aloud.

It was a letter written by Chiro himself, but it wasnt one found at his apartment. They had throughly searched and cleared out the place, so wherever this letter had come from, it wasnt kept at his home. It was signed to be given to Nisino. It started off quite formal, a hello, how are you, regards to the family, and such. After one or two of these normal paragraphs, they reached a section that requested Nisino to get him into the game team, to get him a programming position in Pokemon Red and Green.

As the letter continued, the handwriting seemed to grow more jittery. He talked about a glorious idea he had, a way to program something unseen in any game before. He said it would certainly revolutionize not only the gaming industry, but everyone. He went on to say that it was a very simple procedure to program this idea into the game. He did not even have to add any foreign programming, but could use what was already given in the game itself. This would, the detectives agreed, make it impossible to notice any obscurities in the programming itself. It was a perfect way to hide whatever this was.

The letter ended abruptly. There was no goodbye, no say hi to the family, no write back, or thank you. Nothing like that. It was just his name, written hard in the letter where the paper almost broke through. It was only his name. Chiro Miura.

This was the nail in the coffin for the detectives. They had no more suspicion about the cause. Chiro had programmed something into the early parts of the game, something maddening. To further increase this streak of success, they discovered that the programming team had worked in pairs, even Chiro himself. He had worked with another programmer, Sousuke Tamada.

If anyone knew what the secret in this game was, Sousuke Tamada would be the man. This was their final hope of unraveling this mystery once and for all.

They learned Sousuke had provided a lot of programming to the game, and seemed to be an average, good guy and worker. They were easily allowed into his home, a fair place, and they entered his living room where they sat. Sousuke did not sit, however. He stood by the window of the second story floor, looking out onto the busy street. He was smiling a little.

There is no direct witnesses to the events that followed. The only thing from this conversation that remained was found on a voice recorder sitting on the table in front of the two detectives assigned to talk to Sousuke.

Sousuke Tamada, what part did you have in the games Pokemon Red and Green? asked the first detective.

I was a programmer. His voice was light, friendly, almost too friendly. Thats all.

Am I right in knowing that the programmers working on the game worked in teams? asked the detective.

One could hear the voice of feet moving on the floor slightly. You would be right, said Sousuke after a moment of silence.

And your partner, his name was--The detective was quickly cut off by Sousuke eerie voice.

Chiro Miura... That was his name. Chiro Miura.

Another silence. It seemed the detectives were a little uneasy about this man. Could you tell us if Muira ever acted strange at all? Any particular behaviors you observed while working with him at all?

Sousuke answered them. I dont know him that well, really. We didnt meet up frequently, only every once in a while to trade data, or when the entire group was called up for a meeting... Thats the only times I really ever saw him. He acted normal, as far as I could tell. He was a short man, and I think this affected his consciousness.. He acted weaker than any other man I met. He was willing to do a lot of work to gain recognition, this I do know. I think...

Silence. Yes? asked the detective, pushing for him to continue. You think what?

I think he was a very weak man. I think he wanted to prove himself regardless of this point... I think he wanted to make himself known for something special, something that would make people forget about the way he looked and pay attention to the powerful mind that lay inside his skull.. Unfortunately for him, however.. heheh.. He didnt have much of a mind to back up that reasoning.

Why do you say that? asked the second detective.

Well its the simple truth, answered Sousuke quickly. His feet could be heard moving across the tiled floor. He was nothing special, even if he wanted to believe so. You cant become greatness, even if you believe it. Its impossible... Somehow, I think Chiro knew this himself, somewhere deep in there, he knew it.

The detectives were silent again, not sure how to steer the conversation. After a moment, they continued. Can you tell us what Chiros part of the game was? What did he work on exactly?

Sousuke answered more quickly than before. Nothing... I mean, nothing important. He worked on some obscure parts of the beginning of the game. A pause, then a little more information. It was Oaks part to be exact. He worked on some of Oaks parts... When hes seen first, you see..

What else? pushed the police. They could hear it in Sousukes voice. He knew something. We know you know about the children and the deaths. We know it was Chiro who did it. He programmed something in the game.

What are you implying? asked Sousuke. It sounded like he was trying to maintain his voice.

Were implying that since your his partner, if youre hiding something from us then you could just as much be responsible for those childrens deaths as Chiro is himself!

You cant prove anything! Sousuke shouted.

Tell us what Chiro did to the game! they shouted back.

WHAT I TOLD HIM TO.

Silence. Complete silence.

You want to know, huh? asked Sousuke finally, breaking the eerie silence, but replacing it with his voice. you want to know what is this all about? Chiro was an idiot. He'd do anything for a bit of attention, anything at all. He couldnt program worth a poop either. The one thing he could do, however, was be manipulated. You could tell him what to do, and hed do it. He wouldnt even question it, hed do it. Just to hear that thank you when you received the finish product, that was his reasons. Thats all he wanted.

Two clicks from the detectives guns could heard.

I could control him flawlessly. Hes a lot like Takenori... Of course none of you knew this, but I was the one who brought up the idea of the game, the idea of the entire operation. I just told the fellow what to do, and he followed me without doubt. He knows nothing, just like Chiro.

A sound of a window opening could be heard, follow by the detectives.

Dont move or well shoot!

Let me tell you about a mechanic in the game, continued Sousuke. His voice was more rushed, but it still held that slyness. Consider it a hint, alright? If you walk around in grassy areas enough a Pokemon will appear, and youll have the chance to go into battle with it. Its a necessary part of the game overall, you see?

Step away from the window! We wont warn you again!

At the start of the game you have to walk into the grassy area before Oak appears and you receive your first Pokemon, understand me? Under normal circumstances, it was programmed that even though youre in a grassy area, no Pokemon will spawn... I made it different. I manipulated that Chiro, told him what to put in the program, gave him all the instructions on how to do it, and he did it flawlessly. Its rare, but it can happen.. Stepping into that grass, one can spawn...

Sousuke, we dont want to shoot!

Shoot me? asked Souske, laughing at the same time. Shoot ME? Youre as dumb as Chiro was! Once he found out the truth, he had to end it! It was his fault after all! He shot himself because of it! If youre so determined to finish that case of yours, if you want to know, play the * game for yourself! Roll the wheel, and who knows? Maybe youll learn the secret for yourself!

A shot could be heard, loud enough to distort the audio. Sounds of screaming, murmuring could be heard. The table the recorder was on crashed. Ear shattering distortions. Silence. Then laughing. Sousuke was laughing, and then words. Come follow me... Come follow me... And then nothing.

The recorder continued to record until the tape ran out. There was nothing else on it. The police arrived on the scene quickly, and to their horror they discovered Sousuke and the two detectives dead. They had all been shot, but not after struggling. The detectives had been shot multiple times, at least ten each, before dying after being shot in between their eyes. Sousuke himself had clearly died of two hots to his chest, straight through the heart.

This game was causing a massacre. At least a hundred children were dead. Nisino, the unexpecting friend, dead. Chiro, the manipulated toy, dead. The two detectives, dead. And now, even the creator, the cause of this atrocity, Sousuke, dead. This game was stretching far over its original intentions. It was killing anyone and everyone who got involved.

The lead detective had decided to put this case away. He man who committed the crime was dead, so there was no longer any reason to continue the case. All evidence, all the cartridges, all the notes, all the letters, they were locked away, kept in the darkness where they belonged. There were talks about the entire thing, small conversations every now and then, but over the years even these began to fade away. Eventually, the case was only a memory in the minds of those who experienced it first hand.

Ten years passed. February 27, 2006 was the date. The lead detective, the man who locked away the original evidence ten years previous, was reminded of the awful event that occurred. Although he was no longer in the force, he still had access to files and was helped when he could. The reminder of the event caused him to look back, to open the sealed container that held all the evidence collected.

He read through the letters and the notes. He remembered the woman who had appeared to him on the street that one day and handed him that letter that lead to the change of the entire case. He wondered who she was, and where she had come from. Perhaps she was Chiros mother... or maybe Sousukes. It was far too late to pursue any of this. Far too late..

Sealing the container again, he saw a second one directly behind it. Pulling it out, he read the note on top of it. evidence #2012A He opened it up, and looked inside. Filling the container were exactly 104 Pokemon Red and Green cartridges, each one in perfect condition, untouched since the day they had last checked them ten years ago.

He reached in and pulled one out, Pokemon Red. He hadnt seen one in a long time. He didnt know what he thought next, but he reached in his desk and pulled out an old Gameboy. He received it a long time ago, but it still worked. It was his sons, but he had died a few years ago. His wife was gone too. That was then though. Popping in the cartridge in the back of the Gameboy he turned on the system.

The title screen. Then the option to continue or start a new game. Tanaka. That was the childs name, the one who played it first. He was probably dead, along with all the others. He pressed New Game, and started a new game. It was normal, average. He walked around, talked to his mother, went outside. He started walking towards the grass.

In his head, he could still hear Sousukes words. Even though he was not there, even though he had never seen the man in his life, he could still see him, hear him. Come follow me.

He was getting closer and closer, only a step or two away.

Roll the wheel, and who knows? Maybe youll learn the secret for yourself!

He entered the grass. The screen did nothing at first. Nothing at all. It just sat there, and so did the detective, completely frozen, as if time had stopped just for them. The screen went black. and then lit up again, the iconic green background with black text appearing.

The lead detectives weary eyes grew wide. He couldnt help but read out what was there in front of him.

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me. I miss you dad, I miss you my husband, I miss you so much.

Tears formed in his eyes, falling down his cheeks. Screens and screens of text appeared and he rapidly clicked the A button to continue it. It was his wife and his child. They were speaking to him, calling to him, crying with him. They wanted to see him, they loved him, he loved them.

I love you too, muttered the man in a hoarse, scratching voice.

Come follow me, become new again. We want to see you and hold you, and be with you forever and ever and ever and ever.

AND EVER AND EVER...

Dont stay away. You can see us too.. We miss you.. Come follow me. We love yo--

A black screen. The detectives eyes grew wide, his jaw dropping. The screen lit back up, and Oak was leading him out of the grass. Come follow me, said Oak.

NO! shouted the man, dropping the game onto the floor. He quickly fell forward, reaching for it, bringing the screen back to his face. Bring them back, bring them back to me! The game continued on as usual, not responding to the detective at all. My wife, my child, listen to me! Bring them back to me, I said!

Voices... He heard voices, hundreds of voices. He turned around from his seat, looking behind him, and standing in his small room were children, many children.They were screaming, reaching towards him.

Bring back my mommy, bring back my daddy, bring back my pet! they all screamed out, reaching for the game. I dont want them to go away, bring them back to me, bring them back to me!

No! shouted the detective. Its mine! My family is here, dont touch it! Horror was across his face.

Come follow me... said a voice. The lead detective looked over, and in the corner of his room, next to an old desk, was Sousuke. He stood in the corner, tall, handsome, clean. A smile was on his face, stretching across his face. Come follow me...

The lead detective jumped up, stepping back, trying to force away the children crawling towards him, reaching out for the game held tightly within his hands. Wh-whats going on here!? Whats going on!? Where is my family!?


Sousuke smiled generously. Ill show you. Ill help you get away from them, you see? Just follow me. Sousuke reached down, and opened a drawer on the old desk. The lead detective, pushing through the crowd of children, trying to get away, looked inside.

Siting there, covered with dust, was his old gun from when he was on the force. He had not used that gun in many years and had put it away, not wanting to remember the things he had to do with it. But right now he didnt see it as something that caused pain or that killed. It was shining, it was light. It was something that could set him free.

Just follow me, said Sousuke, picking up the gun and putting it in the lead detectives hand. He formed his hand to hold the gun, then brought it up to his temple. Just pull the trigger. Thats all.

The lead detective turned around. The children were crawling at him, grabbing his legs and pulling at him. They reached for the game. He turned back towards Sousuke, and smiled.

My family... Ill follow you. He pulled the trigger. BANG

It was a few days before the body was discovered. It lay on the floor. In one hand held an empty gun, and in the other was a classic Gameboy with Pokemon Red on the back. The battery had long died, and only an empty, black screen was left.

This was the final murder that the remaining authorities would allow. The last detective who was ever a part of this case personally carried all 104 cartridges away, and burned them all, making sure not a single one survived. There would taunt no more.

However, this is not the end of the story. The code was said to have survived, and was even passed on to other language versions of the games. If you have an old Pokemon game, you can place the cartridge in the back of the classic Gameboy, turn on the system, and roll the wheel who knows? Maybe youll learn the secret for yourself.

Mwa ha ha ha ha... I'm gonna get out my Pokemon Red game and die... YAY! 

Ermm... That's not a good thing dude -_-

Oh, well... then I guess I'll just listen to Lavender Town.

    Dear Journal,
    Mom bought me this nerdy journal because I complained my pen-pal, Anna, never wrote me. “Now you’ll have something to write in every day!” she said, looking all sunshine-y. Ugh! I don’t want to hurt her feelings though, so I’m going to write. I just won’t show anyone.
     I don’t have a lot to write about. My name is Cassandra, but everybody calls me Cass. I’m twelve. I have a weird little sister named Melanie, who’s six. Mom says she’s not weird, she’s just a little kid, but I make her go upstairs when I have friends over anyway. She acted like a cat for three months last year. Just this morning she made up yet another imaginary friend.
    “I have a new friend named Finn!” she said. (Liar.) “He’s twelve like you, Cass, but he looks different. He has black hair, and his eyes are gray. They’re nicer than yours.”
    Like I need reminding! My whole family has blue eyes, but mine are ugly and brown. Everyone says they’re nice, but I don’t think so. So I told Mel to go away and stop lying. She said she wasn’t lying, which was a lie right there.
    I’m going to soccer practice now and I will never, ever write in here again.

June 5, 2010
    Dear Journal,
    Okay. So I know I said I’d never write again. But today is so hot, and boring! And Mel was actually having a conversation with “Finn”. Bizarre! She was sitting out front on our porch, talking to him. I don’t know how it went exactly, but it was really weird anyway. I told Mel that if she was going to talk to Finn, she’d better do it inside so the neighbors don’t, like, report her to an asylum or something. But she just glared at me all cold and said, “Finn doesn’t want to come inside.” RIGHT!

    Dear Journal,
    If Mel doesn’t knock it off soon, I’M going to be the one to report her to the asylum. She’s starting to creep me out! Last night she said seriously, “Cass, Finn wants me to come to where he lives. Should I go?”
    I wanted to scream “FINN!! ISN’T!! REAL!!!!!” but I just said mock-seriously, “No, Mel, you can’t go to stranger’s houses.”
    Her eyes got all big and she said, “Finn used to live at our house.”

    Dear Journal,
    I kind of lost it and I shouted at Melanie, “Mel, shut up about Finn already! He doesn’t exist!!” It sounds mean, but she was scaring me. She’d been talking with nobody for about an hour, and she was having fun! I’ve seen insane people do stuff like that. I knew Mel was beyond weird!
    I feel sorry now, though. I made her cry. She said, “Well, if you don’t like me here, maybe I should just go with Finn!”
    Then I yelled, “Great, whatever, just LEAVE! You’re creeping me out!!” She was, too. And then she left.

June 10, 2010
    I couldn’t write yesterday or the day before… I haven’t even spoken to anyone barely at all.
    Melanie’s gone. She disappeared.

June 10, 2011
    I saw something today that made me dig up my old journal and read the entire story over. And now I’m feeling sort of dizzy, and sick. Because Mel never came back home. The police never found her. I still miss her and I think maybe it’s my fault, because I told her to leave…
    And today I think I had a hallucination. I must have. Because today a boy tried to stop me on the sidewalk and talk to me, but I wouldn’t stop running. He just disappeared when I turned to glance at him to see if he was real. The boy was about twelve. He had black hair, and gray eyes.

rly good!

    Dear Journal,
    Mom bought me this nerdy journal because I complained my pen-pal, Anna, never wrote me. “Now you’ll have something to write in every day!” she said, looking all sunshine-y. Ugh! I don’t want to hurt her feelings though, so I’m going to write. I just won’t show anyone.
     I don’t have a lot to write about. My name is Cassandra, but everybody calls me Cass. I’m twelve. I have a weird little sister named Melanie, who’s six. Mom says she’s not weird, she’s just a little kid, but I make her go upstairs when I have friends over anyway. She acted like a cat for three months last year. Just this morning she made up yet another imaginary friend.
    “I have a new friend named Finn!” she said. (Liar.) “He’s twelve like you, Cass, but he looks different. He has black hair, and his eyes are gray. They’re nicer than yours.”
    Like I need reminding! My whole family has blue eyes, but mine are ugly and brown. Everyone says they’re nice, but I don’t think so. So I told Mel to go away and stop lying. She said she wasn’t lying, which was a lie right there.
    I’m going to soccer practice now and I will never, ever write in here again.
