(This is weird and probably weird plus not what my followers wanted but I wanted to write this.)


Dried blood had long since dried into their pyjama shirt from their broken bruised nose, The eleven year olds eyes were clouded with unsheathed tears. The child sniffed as they pressed the continue button on their old banged up Gameboy, Their mother was in one of her rare happy moods and bought it for the child at an old grandmas yard sale a week ago, Alister had been playing on it the whole time with the few cartridges that they had been gifted along with the Gameboy.

The game was a knock off Pokémon game, The characters were named weird adjectives and something was eerily off about the Pokémon, Alister swore they sometimes had more eyes then usual and like they were watching them from outside the screen, Their mother would always say they had an overactive imagination when they told her about their horrific nightmares that had started up again after being the small handheld console. Alister captured another Pokémon before the screen lit up in static and glitches, A low screeching of metal grinding against itself was heard out of the small jacked up speakers making Alister drop the console down onto their plush bed and cup their hands over their ears, They tightly closed their teary eyes and waiting for the nose to stop. However they felt their head begin to feel disconnected and their limbs go numb as they fell forward onto the ground along with the Gameboy, They didn't touch the floor as they were sucked into the console as it shattered into pieces on the floor from the fall.

Alister opened their eyes and glanced around at the broken blocky world as if they were inside the 8-bit they were playing seconds ago, Alister grumbled from the floaty feeling in their head as they stood up on their shaky legs. Trees glitched misplacing pixels and the grass moved like a slow choppy animation, Alister released a scared exhale as they began to walk around hoping to wake up from this nightmare like the others they have, They always follow the same sequence of events, they wake up, get chased by a monster with multiple red denim eyes then get burned alive in a lava pit.

Alister dashed behind a broken tree log when they heard heavy footsteps behind them, Peeking over the log they saw a gruesome display of a Charzard stalking towards a oblivious bird like Pokémon with its broken legs leaving a trail of blood, The bone was exposed and snapped on one of its legs making bile rise in Alister's throat. They crouched down leaning their forehead on the log trying to calm their racing heart, The nightmares have never been this vivid.

A loud roar was heard then a splatter of bones getting crushed along with the tearing of flesh, Alister whimpered as they peeked up again, The Charzard had completely obliterated the poor bird Pokemon with a hard stomp of its food, bloody feathers leaked though the larger Pokémon's toes. Alister gasped and jumped back landing on a stick making a loud cartoon snap sound, Alister's breathing stopped as the Charzard snapped it's head their direction with bloody gouged out eyes with red demon eyes like all the other nightmares, Alister choked out a sound and spun around before bottling off trying to get a head start to this gruesome nightmare, They could hear the heavy stomps hitting the crunch dried leaf covered dirt, Alister was suddenly pulled upward into a tree with their back slamming uncomfortably rough against the trunk of the tree, The air was stolen from their lungs and a hand covered their mouth which was about to start gasping for needed air.

Alister felt their head get fuzzy with the lack of oxygen before the hand was pulled away, Alister leaned forward holding one hand to their aching chest and the other on the branch below them to keep them stable in the high tree, Alister quickly scooted back as they glanced up and saw a misty figure with multiple eyes staring into their mortal soul. A panicked incoherent noise escaped Alister as they tried to escape but froze up like a suture when the misty figure clenched a tight claw hand around their ankle preventing them from moving from fear and with out hitting their head on the ground if they tried to jump down from the tree branch.
