Pokemon Soul-Stealing Silver

Chapter 1: Continue
Pokemon is easily my favorite video game franchise, so when I got a DS with Pokemon SoulSilver version, I was estatic. It was christmas, and what better present for me, a Pokemon fan? The day after christmas, I flipped the DS open and started my Pokemon adventure. The game was incredibly laggy. I pressed "a" at the title screen, and to my suprise, there was already a save file. The previous owner went with the name "Ethan", the canon name for the male character, and well, chose the male option.

It said they had no Pokemon but they were at Violet City. Considering how laggy my DS is, I thought it was a bug. I decided to check out the previous owner's save file as I was curious. When the save file booted up, there was no Pokemon option on the battom screen. Did they really have no Pokemon? How were they at Violet City? Still, I decided to challenge the Violet City gym with no Pokemon, if it would let me... It seemed they had already conquered Sprout Tower, because it let me challenge the gym just fine. I decided to skip all the trainers in the gym, as I hate all the unnecessary battles, and went straight to Falkner, the gym leader.

When the battle started, I sent out a glitchy white box. It was level 0 and had 0 HP. When I clicked FIGHT, it said "????????????????????????????????????????????? has no moves!". I guess that was to be expected. The text read: "????????????????????????????????????????????? stole Pidgey's soul!". The glitchy white box transformed into Pidgey, and Falkner's Pidgey fainted. Falkner then sent out Pidgeotto, and the glitchy white box repeated the same thing for it. I was very confused at this point and tried not to freak out. Falkner appeared on the screen and started his defeated dialogue, but then to my suprise, the game's text read: "????????????????????????????????????????????? stole Falkner's soul!". Falkner fell face first on the ground, and the glitchy white box went from Pidgeotto's form to Falkner's form.

The game then returned to the overworld and all of the gym trainers had an exclamation point over appear over their head and looked at the scene. The glitchy white box, which was now Falkner, looked panicked, and then the game said "????????????????????????????????????????????? stole Ethan's soul!". My character seemed to die as the glitchy white box thing transformed into my character. It's eyes turned red and it let out a distorted laugh. That was about all I could handle before freaking out.

I powered off the game, and ran upstairs. That game certainly wasn't a normal copy of Pokemon SoulSilver. But I had an idea.

Chapter 2 is being rewritten.
