Pokémon Broken Blue

I haven't been the biggest fan of the Pokemon games for a while now, Sinnoh was the last region I thoroughly enjoyed, but once the Isshu, or the Unova, as it is called in the United States, where I live, came out. I just flat out gave up on trying to play these games. It wasn't fun at all anymore, just tedious tasks, watching Pokémon become less thought out and creative, and half of them just being cheap rip-offs of actual animals.
I'm sure a lot of you have felt the same way, I started in the Kanto region, Pokemon Blue, I was never one of the diehards that play each and every game and get every invisible item and every gender of shiny Pokemon out there, I just enjoy it, it's a nice hobby, but sometimes you find things that aren't exactly the most regular, the more peculiar ones always catch my eye.
Now, I've told you about my other Pokemon game, "PKEMON The Violet Islands." As I call it, and I still play it sometimes, though I make sure I keep a mental note of where the area was that bears those treacherous waters and lands, other than that, the game is normal. I've never come across another Pokemon game that gives me the shivers, but I did have one other game, when I was just young, that wasn't exactly the best kind of game you could come across, I can say. I couldn't sleep for a while, but I do remember the game thoroughly.
It was December 22nd, 2003. I was young, but still into some of the Pokemon games. Because I didn't have the richest family that could buy me all the brand new games, I got a Gameboy Color, along with the game I was overjoyed to have, Pokemon Blue. I was told that my parents found a garage sale, but after that pretty much everything faded into a blur of words as I plugged in the lovely blue cartridge into my purple console, and started it up.
As the loading screen came up, I remember listening to the title theme for a good ten minutes, listening to it repeat time after time, though there was one problem, at about the 6-7th time it had repeated, it was played just half a note deeper, nothing too bad, perhaps a glitch? It wasn't the best made game ever, nor was I the cool game player with it, but it was my favorite game for many years.
Now, it's 2012, I picked the game up again just recently, bought a new Gameboy color, (Purple, for nostalgic reasons) and tried playing the game again. Much to my surprise, no dust had gathered on the inside, so that saved the time on vigorously blowing into the cartridge to start up the game. So, aside from talking about all the nostalgia I experienced, I set the game aside and twiddled my fingers to the starting music again, listening to all the notes carefully and humming to myself. Upon the 6th replay, the note dropped, just like it had done 9 years ago. Setting this aside as well, I continued by pressing the start button.
Happy with my old team, a Charizard, Starmite, and a Weepinbell, (I loved to challenge myself by only taking half a team with me.) I continued from Pallet town, which I was in before I set my game down for almost a decade. I had recently beaten the Elite Four, so on that occasion, I set the game down in 2004 and continued on with my life. Going downstairs, the grandmother sprite waited for me at the bottom of the steps, without pressing A, she automatically started talking to me, as if it were some kind of event that would move you automatically, the dialogue wasn't exactly the most settling, unlike the normal, cheery dialogue about your adventure, it was a bit more realistic and scary.
MOM: S-son... you've been gone for so long... how are-
The dialogue cut off there, her sprite turned red and disappeared, giving me the opinion that she had died. My character sprite slowly walked out of the house, at mere half the speed he walked out of the bedroom at. Once outside, I noticed there were no people outside. I now had control of my sprite again, so I looked into my inventory to see what I had collected. I had my master ball, because I never used it because it was special to me. I also had a "Team Rocket Hat" with the description of "The headwear of a fallen rocketeer" A little unnerved by this, nothing over the line of creepy.
I continued on with the game, I got through the gyms easily, but it was kind of hard to go through the game at half the speed. I wasn't able to get the bike, unfortunately, but I continued on with the game because it was one of my personal all-time favorites. Upon getting to the elite four, the man who stands at the end of the room that you just start at before going through all the gates walked up to me as I tried to pass.
"...."
"...."
"..!"
After that, he moved aside, and let me through. Upon getting through the rest of the gates, I walked up to the Elite Four, stepping through them until I got to Bruce. The leader sprite walked towards me very slowly, it took almost 5 minutes for him to walk about 2 sprite steps.
"....."
"................"
"............................................"
"....!"
THIS dialogue again? What's wrong with the game this time. I had read my fair share of creepypastas, and this is no ordinary lavender town shit.
"You."
Me? What was he talking about.
"You, Axel." No, Axel's not my real name, that is the name I use for my sprites sometimes.
"You've trekked through town after town, taking on trainer after leader after wild Pokemon." He said.
"Yet, you say you want to be the best Pokemon trainer ever. But are your Pokemon happy?" He asked me. Suddenly, my Charizard came out of its pokeball, a small looking sprite on the ground next to me. A box came up, large enough for the battle sprite to appear. It looked like one of its legs was cut off, and infecting at the wound. He was missing an eye, and his arm was just barely hanging by a tendon.
"And what about Starmite?" He asked me
The same thing happened, Starmite came out of its ball and a sprite came up, all of its little points at the top of its star pieces were broken off, a pile of glassy rubble at the bottom of it. The little crystal in the middle of it was missing, and what appeared to be blood was dripping from it.
"And don't forget about poor little Weepinbell." He said, looking as if he was mocking me.
The sprite came up again, this one particularly horrified me. The sprite was made up of much smaller pixels, like the ones in the new Pokemon games. The Pokemon looked like it's large, round body had been sucked dry and lifeless, a pile of vomit at the base of its... mouth? Both of its eyes were hanging out of its sockets, only connected by little nerve endings.
"Shame."
"...."
"......."
"..!"
The sprite disappeared, and when I walked through, I was suddenly inside the room where my rival is. Upon battling him, I realized that the damage I had done to my Pokemon was nothing compared to Gary's Pokemon. Limbs were chopped off, eyes missing, tongues were gone, and blood was all over the sprites. This didn't make me sick or anything, because I watched the scene from SAW 7 where the girl got cut in half 7 times in a row, rewinding is fun, innit?
Back to the main conversation here, My Pokemon were still messed up, but when I attacked it did damage, when his Pokemon were told to attack, I got a dialogue, example-
GARY: Use Hydro Pump, Blastoise! Blastoise is too maimed to attack!
When each Pokemon was defeated, it would say "______ Has bled out!"
Once the battle finished, Gary walked up to me, slowly, like Bruce had. "...!" What is WITH this text?!
"You... they warned me.... About you..." A sprite appeared of Gary, on his knees. His eyes were red, and he was holding up a gun to his head. A loud sound echoed from the game, like when you take out the cartridge in the middle of the game, but only for a brief moment. The sprite changed, Gary was laying on the ground, blood around his head with a black hole in his temple. Absolutely disgusted by this, now. I was compelled to move on, so I did. I went into the next room after Gary to see if I could just end this nightmare, but what I saw shocked me even more.
You know how in Lavender Town, the tower has all those graves and whatnot? Those were in this large room, hundreds and hundreds of them. Some read "Lily's Sparkle, killed by a demented trainer's Charmeleon"
Could this be my Charmeleon? I continued reading different graves.
"Bobby's Caterpie, maimed and killed by a Disoriented Charmander."
"Drake's Ninetails, Extinguished by Crazy Starmy"
"Wild Metapod, Shot to death by suspicious trainer."
"Gary. Suicide by mental damage"
"Professor Oak, executed due to giving mentally ill trainers Pokemon."
"Axel's Mom, Death by old age."
"Bruce, suicide by hanging."
"../AXL"
And many many more. The last grave in particular annoyed me, because it was glitched, and it only said ../AXL. At the end of the room the Pokemon healing machine was at the end. Walking up to it, I clicked the A button, text started popping up.
"Trainer Name: Axel
Balance: 12775 Money
Badges: All 8
Elite Four: Passed
Dyslexia, Partial Blindness, Paranoia
Suffering from Depression"
The game paused.
"....!"
"So, you've finally made it here." "You sick, demented creep."
"You know your Pokemon were sick. We warned you."
"You had to hurt them more."
The three sprites of my Pokemon came up. All of them seemed to be dead, laying on the ground, suffering from major damage. Charizard was missing its wings and it had claw marks across its neck. Starmite was just a pile of red, bloody rubble. Obviously shattered. Weepinbell was cut in half, and covered in blood and vomit.
"You couldn't let them survive with their own problems, injuries in which they'd never recover."
"You had to kill them, along with..."
"Along with..."
"Along with 874 Other Pokemon."
"Yes, that's about right. You have fought and killed 874 other Pokemon. That's 877 Pokemon Total, dead at your hands. Are you proud of yourself?" It asked me
YES
NO
I clicked no, because I had no idea what was actually happening at all.
"Don't lie to me. You've had fun this whole time, killing and killing, not caring about each other's feelings and the Pokemon's own LIVES." "../AXL"
"The Game Progress has been Saved."
"The ProgressGGmmdi"
"../AXL"
"../AXL" "...!"
I looked at the game, the dialogue of ...! came up very slowly, but not as slow as the walking speed I've seen in the game so far. I was almost in tears, unknowing of what I had actually done to the Pokemon, even though they were pixels, I felt guilty as if I had destroyed the whole Pokemon world in this game. It showed a few credits, but none of the creators names, just stuff like.
"Little Susie gave her life for your enjoyment."
"Bobby sacrificed his lifelong partner for this fun you've had"
And other sick, horrible twists like that.
I respawned in Pallet Town, except there were no houses or other sprites. My walking speed was almost as slow as the other sprite's that took forever. Nearing a long 10 minute walk, I got to the first patch of grass in the game, and a battle occurred.
"A wild Weepinbell appeared"
"Weepinbell slowly died a painful and horrible death!" The battle exited, I was back in the overworld. Twice as slow now. Once I finally hit another grass block, another battle resumed.
"Starmite has appeared!" This time it wasn't a wild Starmite either.
"Starmite gave you a sick, demented look, before falling to the ground, broken."
The game was back in the overworld once more, I was very slow. Clicking the up button, I had enough time to go to the kitchen, put some Ramen in a pot and come back in for the next battle.
"Your precious Charizard appeared!" My... What? Well, it probably figured which Pokemon I used the most and used that as the "Precious" one.
"Charizard looked at you, it's bloody, amputated limbs dripping of puss and blood. Attempting to take a step towards you in one dying act of love, it's heart just stops, and it drops dead."
This one was very descriptive ,unlike the other two. My body shaking, I was back in the overworld again. My walk-speed was back to normal, the half speed it had been the whole game. Going to Viridian City, the only building there was a tall building sprite that seemed to go all the way off the screen, I walked over to the door. "Viridian ..!>./?" The text seemed to be broken, and it didn't display anything I could make out to read. I walked in, the first room I was in was empty. Except for a sign, clicking it, it said the text I had dreaded.
"................................................"
".........................................................................................."
"...!"
The sign disappeared, my character sprite started spinning, and floated up off the screen like using an escape rope. I was in a new room, no staircase in here, but a white surface at the end of the room. Going to the odd white sprite, as I got closer, it reflected my sprite onto it. A mirror? This was the first mirror I had seen in the Pokemon games. Once I was in front of it, I clicked A, and it went into a pixely-3D view and zoomed in on the mirror, showing the horror of the sprite I had created. It showed the sprite's head, along with its hands, with the palms of the hands in the reflection facing the reflection's chest. It was missing an eye, and the other eye was bloodshot and destroyed. His had was ragged, and had multiple holes in it, which let out tufts of hair. His hands were bony and had large patches without skin, the fingernails covered in blood. I clicked A again, and the picture zoomed back out, the reflection just looked like a normal character overworld sprite again. Upon clicking A to see if I should zoom back in, a staircase appeared in the floor behind me, obviously a trap door was placed there
A Team Rocket sprite came out from the staircase, and slowly walked up to me.
"..."
"...!"
"I... I believe you have my hat?"
-Team Rocket Grunt ../AXL Takes the Team Rocket Hat-
../AXL? That was the sprite from the grave back in the Elite Four Building.
"Now for revenge."
The battle sequence started, and I was in the battle. Unable to send out a Pokemon, I was the only thing that could be used. The only option I had was "Suffer," So I had to click it. He sent out all three of his Pokemon somehow, Charizard, Starmite and Weepinbell. "../AXL Ordered Team Dutaiyrk to use Hyper Beam!" The three Pokemon all used the same move at once, and my "Health" of 100 points dropped to zero. "Axel has learned to appreciate his Pokemon, Axel has figured out that every action has an equal or opposite action. Axel learned the finest rule of life, that everything that lives comes to its own demise." The screen faded to black, and I was brought back to the grave room. A random sprite walked up to one of the graves, and a text box appeared.
"Axel. Brought down for his own greed, damn well deserved it."
