My life isn't that interesting. At all, really. I'm not 100% right in the head. I don't exactly have any friends, I sit alone in the dark and go crazy. But nothing has made me more crazy than this. I spend most of my days here, on the internet. I got to know some people online, people who don't live near me, people like me. They're twisted, and find it funny to send me fucked up stuff. Dead bodies, dogs on fire, etc. I thought there was nothing I haven't seen, until now.

Christmas of 2011, I got a new phone. I transferred over the numbers of anyone I can stand, I figured not transferring over the other numbers wouldn't matter, right? Well, just last week, I get a text saying "Hi James". I could tell it wasn't someone I met online, they had my area code. I respond "Who is this?". They text me back "You deleted my number? I'm hurt.". I just asked who they were again, and there was no response.

I thought nothing of it, probably just an old friend who I forgot about. Until I got another text from them. "Hey James, check your mailbox." I thought this was pretty odd, considering practically no one knows this address, but I went and checked. Inside it I found a DS cartridge. It was labeled "Pokemon grey" and had Kyurem on it. I thought they decided to make Black 2 and White 2, maybe this was a beta version?

This seemed really odd. How could someone get this? I put the game in my DSi and started it up. There was a save file already made. I'm not going to lie and say it was anything creepy like "Death" or "Leave", it just said "Robert". I've only known one kid named Robert. A strange kid in my middle school. He got messed with a lot, people would pick on him and throw things at him. He left the school after getting beat up by several other guys. After he left the school, some would see him standing out front of the school. It was really creepy, people thought he might come in with a gun.

Anyway, that's hardly relevant. I opened the save file to see what was in it. It just brought me standing in a dark room, with no ability to move. I checked his items and trainer card, nothing. I checked his Pokémon, just a voltorb named "Mush". I decided to see if it had flash, and this is where things got weird. When I selected it, it gave me the option to use "Selfdestruct". I know Pokémon well, and I know you're not supposed to be able to use it out of battle. But whatever. I decided to try it, and my DSi made a popping sound and turned off. Was this a glitch? That's all I could assume.

I turned the game back on, the save file was gone. I started a new game. This is where things started to go to hell. Instead of a regular black background, there was a reddish brown color. A dark yellow oval appeared in the middle of the screen. Then a professor faded in. It was Oak. Why was he in a fifth generation game? He looked angry, his eye brows forming a V shape. He was gripping a Pokeball, pretty tight it looked like. There was no introduction to the Pokémon world, it just said "What is your name"

I decided to enter "ThatsSo", which is the name I usually go by online and in games. Oak responded "Alright Welcome to the REAL world". It was written just like that, with 'real' capitalized and no punctuation. I didn't know what to think. Was this a hacked game, or maybe just a bad automated translator? Whatever, I've never played a hacked game before, but I've read stories. After that the chat just said "........................". Suddenly the screen turned white. Then it showed the regular Pokémon world, where you could walk around and such, but things were different. I was in a small room, nothing but a bed, TV, and picture on the wall.

I first walked up to the TV, to see what it would say. When I selected it, the screen zoomed in on the TV. On it I saw real footage. It was a mouse, dyed yellow. It had red marks on its face. I'm assuming it was supposed to look like pikachu, but it was very badly done. Everything in the background was dark. I hit some buttons, to see if it would exit the video, but it didn't. The video went on for about a minute more. Before something happened, a boot entered the screen from the top. It came down on the mouse, crushing it. I could still see its head, I heard a loud squeal from my DS. I saw blood start to come from under the boot, it was being squeezed out of the mouse. His eyes popped out of his head, one at a time, and the empty eye sockets leaked blood.
