My Encounter with Buried Alive

Based off of gameplay footage, not the Creepypasta story version.

This began at Lavender Town. I had already beaten Blue and the Elite Four. But today, I was on my curious side for the Pokémon Tower I never considered paying any attention to.

I faught all of the trainers inside the cemetary tower, demolishing every Pokémon sent out to me. That was too easy.

But it began to be that time now. I was almost at the top of the tower. The staircase to whatever was on the top floor stood right in front of me. I aimed my eyes at the stairs, nodded to myself as I felt determined to face whatever was ahead of me. But right as I stepped forward, a strange shady figure blocked my way.

"What the?", I said as it confronted me.

It didn't look like a Pokémon I've ever seen before. I knew it was a Pokémon, but for some reason I couldn't ID it! I sent out my Medicham out of the unpleasant habit of sending out the first Pokémon in my team.

"Medicham!" it said as it stood one foot.

It was my turn to either attack this thing, catch it, or run.

"Medicham, return!" I said, as Medicham came back into the Pokéball. Maybe one day I can finally get a choice, I thought.

Right as that happened, the Ghost seemed to just disappear. I became wide eyed. Is it gone? I decided to just go on.

"Let's try this again," I said as I tried to step forward once again.

The Ghost reappeared again! It looked like it didn't even move! After a few seconds, my surprise became annoyance. This ghost was playing me.

"You're not stopping me, Ghost!" I said as I looked through my items.

I found a Pokédoll, which came in handy. A Pokédoll is an item that you throw to lure away the other Pokemon. I threw it, and the Ghost went after it.

"Yes!" I said with a grin. "Maybe now, I can finally make some progress."

My sureness was short lived. Out of nowhere, I heard a distant call of a... Marowak.

"Marowak......," I heard it say. "Marowak..."

It all came to me! That Ghost was the mother of Cubone!

Even a trainer as myself has known about the sad Pokédex entry of Cubone. "It wears the skull of its dead mother on its head. When it becomes lonesome, it is said to cry loudly."

"Rest in peace, Marowak. Your baby is safe...," I said in respect, as I walked up the stairs.

As the thought of her death left my head, I looked forward to the final path. I walked forward to find a gravestone at the end.

"That's it? A gravestone!?" I said in disbelief.

I began to think that this was a waste of time. Nobody was there. Right as I was about to walk to the gravestone to look around, the Ghost of Marowak levitated from the ground and stopped me from moving!

"I understand that you want to protect me... Like Cubone... But please, Marowak... Cubone wants to see you...," I said hoping that Marowak's Ghost would understand.

"Marowak...," it said as it disappeared for the last time.

After I got my mind off of her death and what Cubone had to go through, I finally walked to the gravestone. It felt strange. I felt a breeze hit me.

"G-Gengar?" I said nervously, knowing that the temperature decreases when a Gengar is hiding nearby.

Then, right as I tried to move my toe backwards, I couldn't.
