The Hemlock Township Abnormality

== Unnerving event in Sword that I (accidentally?) unlocked. (10/18/2020) ==
Hey guys! I usually blog about my ongoing nuzlocks here, but something weird happened today while I was just casually playing Sword. Yes, I know this game is notoriously janky, but this seems beyond a glitch. Maybe I accessed some cut content or something? If anyone can answer my questions, please let me know!
Okay, anyways, I had gotten out of the first Galar Mine area, but when I exited, I ended up in an area called “Hemlock Township”. I have found nothing mentioning this area on the internet, but it sorta gave me the vibe of towns in the older games, a lot more rural and sparsely populated, reminded me a lot of Kanto’s towns, specifically. There were multiple decrepit farmhouses with plant life growing on them, and there was little natural light due to the shade of the trees. When I took a few steps, a cutscene suddenly played. I expected a battle, but this was different.
A startled looking woman ran up towards my character. She came across as a bit out of it, staggering to her feet repeatedly. This woman soon begins to speak. 
“My son disappeared in these woods, ya see…” 
I continued on.
“There’s no use in lookin’, because there’s a good chance he’s already dead”. 
The woman then walked away, disappearing behind a house. I get some Pokedex entries were dark and stuff, but that seemed a little much. I put down my Switch and went to get a glass of water, but when I got back, my character had ran forward towards an opening in the trees on the other side of town, without my control. There was a sign next to the entryway. This, which seemed to have a solid brown placeholder texture on it as opposed to a proper design, read “Mouth of the woods”, which was typed out in Comic Sans. I entered this darker part of the forest, wondering what may wait for me on the other side. 
The music that played in the deeper forest area sounded like it had been ripped from a radio or TV show. It was an actual song, as it had lyrics. Due to the quality, however, I could not make out what these lyrics were. The only part that I think I got right is something along the lines of “Goya was his name" but I sadly can’t verify where it’s from.
As I trudged forward, I hit a patch of tall grass. A battle began, but this didn’t seem like an ordinary fight. My trainer stood in the spot where one of my Pokémon would be. In the opponent spot was a young boy with dark hair, weak and feeble. His hair covered his eyes, but you could tell that he had been crying a lot. There was nothing to do, no moves, no items, I just sat there, waiting for something to happen.
The young boy would repeatedly look behind him, like someone was approaching him. As time went on, he grew more frantic, breathing heavily. The music was still that unidentifiable song clip, but an underscore seemed to play alongside it. A clicking, a clicking that would get faster as the “battle” went on. Soon, from the darkness behind the boy, I saw a large figure loom over him, and then the battle abruptly stopped, it played an animation of him being dragged by the arm into the blackness behind him.
“TRAINER NELSON was never found”
The screen then glitched and the click turned into a loud, electronic screech. An image appeared on the screen of a being, veiled in shadow, holding what looked to be someone’s arm in it’s mouth. The way it was illustrated looked like it was an oil painting, an odd stylistic choice given the subject matter, reminded me of Saturn Devouring His Son a bit. A final text box popped up on the screen, saying only seven words.
“He was delicious. I don’t regret it.”
When this popped up, the figure turned towards the camera, face now visible. Green skin framed by jet black hair, an upturned nose, long, sharp teeth. I could see one of his eyes, the only emotion l could read was apathy. I joked that I knew something was up about Grimmsnarl, the specific Pokemon depicted in that ending cinematic. I tried to laugh and distract myself from how confused I was, but I failed. Just… why, why would someone add this? Did someone forget to remove this from the game, was it some scrapped side quest?
Has this happened to anyone else before while playing? Or is this something I should worry about?
-Sincerely Yours, June's Quest
