The game froze up, and I had to restart it again.

Scared appeared on the screen again, text appearing. 'WHIMPER shuddered.' Then, the Skeletal Pikachu used Boomerang, and the ghost Whimper lost all of its health. I threw out my ghost Whimper, and tried to use Grudge again. The name of the Skeletal Pikachu was ‘WHIMPER’. The name of the trainer was ‘SCARED’, and he had a sprite looking like a skeletal Pikachu against me. I walked up to him to talk, and all he said was 'Why…? Why did it have to go this way?'Ī battle commenced. I was warped back to the graveyard-esque area and a copy of the player was at one of the gravestones. I walked back over to the character’s house, and walked inside. Oak was standing in his usual spot, but when I interacted with him, I got warped out of the lab. I decided to venture to see Professor Oak, walking into his lab. 'He is too stricken with grief to react.' The Team Rocket Grunt just ran over to one of the surrounding trees, and I went over and tried to talk to him. Text came up.Īfter that, the battle ended. Instead of the usual Grudge animation, the animation for Explode happened on Despair's side. I just decided to click Grudge, wondering what would happen. 'So, back for more? I thought you don’t have any POKéMON now! Do you want to end up like that measly PIKACHU?'Ī battle started. The Team Rocket NPC was still there, and ran over to me again. I exited it, and came out into Pallet Town again. 'Now isn’t the time for that.' I walked away, and noticed a door. I clicked on all of them, and text popped up every time. I exited the menu, then noticed gravestones in front of the character. The only one in my party was now the ghost from the Lavender Town tower, still called Whimper. When I loaded it up, I appeared in a grassy, seemingly outside area with Lavender Town’s music playing. I went to file select, and a file called MOURNING was there instead. Nothing happened for a whole five minutes, so I restarted the game. Instead of whiting out, text came up on the screen. Despair used quick attack again, and Whimper fainted. It used Quick Attack, bringing Whimper down to 1 HP.Ī text box came up, saying, 'WHIMPER curled up in a ball, crying.' I then used a hyper potion to heal Whimper. I went to attack it with Thunderbolt, and it somehow avoided the attack. He sent out a level 1 Rattata named ‘DESPAIR’. The NPC came to me, causing a battle to begin. 'Hey, you! Kid! Scram, or I'll make you!” I walked out of the house to see one Team Rocket NPC in Pallet Town. NOW.” The emphasis of the text felt a bit… freaky to me. When I picked the item up, it said, 'SCARED picked up a note.' The mother was missing, and replaced with an item. Seeing this, I went out of the starter room. Looking in the bag, there were 100 ultra balls. I just shrugged it off, and continued playing. I briefly wondered why it had a name like this. Only a level 100 Pikachu named ‘WHIMPER’. I appeared in the starter house, and proceeded to check my Pokemon, to see what this had left. I loaded the save up to check what was on the game. The title screen was the same as a kid in my grade shown me, but it had a saved game on it. He passed it over to me and I threw it into the Game Boy Advance. The game had a couple of tears on the label, and a stain or two on the plastic. After class, I ran down to my dad’s classroom.Īt the end of the day, my dad did an inspection of the desks, and found a copy of Pokemon Yellow version left inside one of them. We all chuckled at the nickname I gave it: Fingertips, because of the bulb-like fingers. On the last day of classes, I went to school playing Pokemon Red on my Game Boy Advance, showing the kids in my class the Mewtwo I had caught the night before. After every day of Kindergarten, I’d go over to my Dad’s classroom to spend the rest of the school day. My Dad taught the sixth grade in the same school. I was going to Kindergarten, and had played the original Pokémon Red and Blue. Anyways, let me regale you with this story. I know tons of things about the games, and have been getting into Pokémon Showdown, an online battling simulator. Ant games poki.I have always been a fan of Pokémon, ever since I first laid my hands on one of the games.
