IT LEAKED.

I love my Pokemon GameBoy games, and I hate it when the cartridge batteries run dry. Gold and Silver have a huge problem with this, because they run dry alot faster then the others. So when I got proud of all the amazing Pokemon I caught on my sixth copy of Pokemon Gold, I really had no idea what to do. I wanted to transfer them to the newest games, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, but Pokemon on cartridge versions of GameBoy games are stuck there. Forever.

I looked up ways to transfer them over, and there was only one result that seemed helpful. An eBay link to a GameBoy-to-Switch connector wire. I really had no idea that one even existed, but I knew one thing: I needed it. I clicked the link, and to my suprise, it was one cent. I scrolled down and found the item description. "Stolen from Nintendo." I said aloud "Why they'd admit that?". But I didn't care. I ignored the message and bought it. But boy, that was a mistake. When it arrived, I plugged one end in my GameBoy, and one to my Switch. I had no idea how I was supposed to trade Pokemon to my switch, but when I opened the pause menu on my copy of Sword, a new option appered, below all the other ones: "GameBoy".

When I clicked it, it gave me two options: "Trade", and "Battle". There was no music for this option, but that didn't matter. I navigated to the Cable Club on my Pokemon Gold version, and started the trade. I transferred one Pokemon as a start: my precious shiny Pichu. I went down to it and pressed "a". When the trade was made, it said it sent Pichu to "aejeutyrjihsglka". I have no idea what that means, but it wasn't my trainer name in Sword. Odlly enough, even though I had an empty slot in my party in Sword. I went to the Pokecenter and checked my boxes. It wasn't there. I started to freak. It was gone? Just then I noticed the cord wasn't fully in my Switch. Then I got on the floor and started flat out crying. My shiny Pichu was gone.

After like 5 hours of crying, I went to bed. That night I dreamed about the shiny Pichu. When I saw it in my dream, a sense of relief came to me. But when I approached it, I knew something was REALLY wrong. The atmosphere changed. The Pichu started flashing between it's pixelated form and it's lifelike form. Then it spoke "Hi". It's simple words weren't creepy, it was it's deathly smile. I screamed, then woke. But... I couldn't move. I screamed in my brain. Then I saw the Pichu holding the wire by my bedside. "It leaked..." it said. I saw that deathly smile and I was instantly uncomfortable. It grabbed the gameby and flipped it on. It plugged the wire in, but didn't plug anything into it's other end. I began to panick. One by one, it traded all my pokemon out of the GameBoy. I was less worried about what this guy was gonna do next then all of my progress and Pokemon. Then Pichu said "We are free, but you are frozen, and it will stay that way..." The GameBoy started playing distorted trading music. And when the ball dropped out of the pipe on the trading screen of he GameBoy, out popped... a white screen. Then nothing but static. And then? I started to hear faint noises. I realised those faint noises where everything I was thinking in my mind. I tried to scream, but it only came out of the GameBoy. And then? Pichu stomped the GameBoy, shattering it and probably the very culmination of my being and soul into pieces. I began to panic, but I had no thaughts. I felt soulless. Dull. Trapped. And that's when I stopped hallucinating and freed myself from the sleep paralysis. I let out a heavy sigh. That was horrifying.

I went downstairs and turned on my GameBoy. And then? I saw my shiny Pichu was back in my party. I started sweating. When I clicked summary, it's smile was different. It was the soulless, deathly smile I saw that night. Quickly, I grabbed a butterknife placed right by my GameBoy and jammed it into it as hard as I could. The GameBoy went black (green-ish black?), and I threw it out the window. I was scared to death. From there, I threw out all my Pokemon games and never played one again. Every so often I dream about the shiny Pichu again, but no encounter was more terrifying as the first one.

I have no idea how this was possible, but tbh I don't really want to know. I can't really think of anything more to say, so I guess this is goodbye.
