Chapter 1: Trespasser

'' Creator's note: This is my first time making a pokepasta and a creepypasta so expect some errors in between it and not leave any harsh comments. It was the best I could do as I had help with the story too so it was basically our first time, it may look bad (especially with the references of other pastas inside) but I promise you, 3 more chapters will be made. Thank you and have fun reading. Friendly reminder if you wish to have a few pieces of the story like references to other pokepastas, tell me now in the comments and i'll see what I can do, don't leave hate comments as that doesn't help ''

I have always been a bit paranoid of playing Pokémon games on any of the consoles as I've heard various rumors and tales from a few other kids that have experienced anomalies with their own game. One kid who’s sister went full yearn over a shiny Flygon with this goofy name of “Tommy Boy”, weird. I was of course at that time where games on the computer or tv were hot shit these days in 2020, but for me I wanted to admire the classics. The good thing was I still had my old Game Boy Advance I had days after Pokémon: Emerald Version came out, which to my surprise still works despite its lack of use. So I booted up my old Emerald game and the GBA, just as I almost expected it to do, worked perfectly.

Apparently I still had a save file for the game which was still in the game, I was thinking of retrying the game from the start for the feeling of beginning. Buuuuut maybe I could foil around in my previous file for a bit, in which I did. I started up my old save file to see where I have left off, apparently still in the Pokémon Center by a PC where I last saved. “Huh, neat” I said as I checked my Pokémon with such listed down below: lvl 40 shiny Milotic♂, lvl 80 Blaziken♂ , lvl 30 Misdreavus♀ (who was nicknamed Taiyo) , lvl 69 Flygon♀ , lvl 40 Metang♂ , and lvl 70 Latias♀. I had both Groudon and Kyogre  in my PC alongside a few others I had inside before my hiatus, I chuckled a bit to myself from irony upon seeing the two inside together as they’re both known for their battle as seen in-game where it ends with the iconic cutscene where Rayquaza descends down to shut them up. You can already tell that’s already been triggered by the appearance of Groudon and Kyogre inside, obviously, so I guess it was time I was going to go to Sky Pillar to catch the big boss of them and the skies himself.

I debated to myself either to swim to Sky Pillar classically or waste no time and use Fly with Latias as that was one of the moves she had, I figured why not and use Surf to it in case I either bump into some Pokémon to catch or some trainers to fight, to which I used Surf to travel to Sootopolis City to take on Rayquaza. When I finally got there by using Milotic to Surf me across after catching a few Water-types in the sea that were either in my path or fished out, I finally made it to Sootopolis City to achieve a goal for my main target: Fight Rayquaza. You see, the thing about me like why I was wanting to beeline towards Sky Pillar was that, well, I'm a big Rayquaza fan to be honest. I mean come on, Rayquaza is almost the most well known legendary for its lore, legacy almost, and strength yet thank god Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came into existence for it. So of course I'm destined to catch this legendary dragon, good thing I already know what’s in store. I did however talk to Wally to see if he has anything for me, his dialogue however was different with it stating “Do you really want to go up there at a time like this? There have been reports of people going missing upon stepping foot in Sky Pillar”. Odd as I have never seen that piece of dialogue before, and me being as foolish as ever, I heeded this warning and ventured over to Sky Pillar with my team, ready to fight and catch this emerald green beast. I gripped my Game Boy with determination in my eyes. I had always wanted to catch a Rayquaza since I was a little boy. Come to think of it, I was much more of a Pokémon fan when I was a child than I am now. It felt somewhat refreshing to get a good taste of nostalgia, and with no hesitation, I went inside

Now here’s where things take a sinister turn and where my experience comes to a start, when I entered into Sky Pillar to climb up to the top, I was hoping to be graced by that gorgeous adventurous tune that's plays with Mt Chimney….but I wasn’t blessed at all by it. Instead it was a sinister and haunting tune, like I was entering the lair of a villain or some kind of loose monster. Hopefully my memory isn’t shit for this and I remember how to at least reach the top of Sky Pillar to fight Rayquaza. Forgot to mention, I was kind of worryful of my shiny Milotic as I heard a kid speak of some shiny Marowak killing off shiny Pokémon every time they encounter or have one and thought that same Marowak would strike my Milotic. Must be memories playing tricks with me as I didn’t let that stop me. One notable anomaly was the inclusion of…..Gold (Ethan) from Pokémon Gold/Silver on one of the floors, what? Upon seeing this, I was bewildered that a character from a previous game and the remake after it was here. The only differences were the GBA-style graphics and his skin but not his clothes being completely white with a Celebi right next to him, I felt a bit of confused Deja vu from seeing the duo. I talked to Celebi first to see what it says…. ¨Lulu…. [Celebi shook a little]” it said as half of it’s cry played like it’s glitched to which I spoke to Ethan (or as they call him, Gold) next which he said “Please do not try it, curiosity killed the cat. This tower holds a mouse trap that you’ll never get out of”. Weirdo, I called out to him…to which he then said the following next “Foolishness is a death wish, but if you’re destined to reach this goal, so be it and i’ll see you soon”....Did he just hear me speak or was that intentional I asked myself as I continued through the door, but checked back into the other room to see both Gold and Celebi gone without a trace. I didn’t let the confusion get the best of me because…..

Yes! Finally, after a few tries and memorizing what the pattern was to reach the top, I made it after trial and error on reaching to the top, my long life dream is finally about to come true. When I got to the top however, the music stopped and it was dead quiet…..nothing else, not a peep, silent. The only things that stood at the top were me and Rayquaza who was facing away from me and to the left over the rocks. Has Rayquaza always had an overworld back sprite or I'm just that gullible to not realize? I walked slowly and softly up to where you would activate the battle with Rayquaza to, well, activate the fight with him and expect the text box of his (not so) iconic “Kiyuryursheeah!” but instead…Rayquaza did the unexpected and…..spoke. “Another one to climb to the top, of course you would even try to do that as all you ever care about is strength” He turned around to face me, his hands: red “You know it’s rude to enter someone else’s home while they’re still inside, especially when it’s to capture them in such an enclosed space where they can never see the light of day until released, no, controlled.” What does he mean, what is he saying “You probably won’t get it despite you and your race being the ones that commit such jabberwocky. I am slowly getting tired of you cretins snagging for your own duels, and I can see you are a victim of that same energy and wish to control for a boost in your strength.” Oooh dear “But I appreciate your liking towards me and see you're a nice kid, but the ending still stays the same. I, Ryūsei, no matter what will erase any “Pokéball” that comes into my line of sight into dust” he said as he rushed over to my player sprite and the battle began.

Here we go, the moment I've been waiting for to duel with this guy, his battle music was way different and and was a more energetic but depressing tune than the actual ancient battle theme that plays for him, Groudon, and Kyogre which fits for a fight against something that was built for speed and power. [Ryūsei appeared!] His name, battle background, and sprite was waaaay different as he was apparently known as “Ryūsei”, he was Level 100 instead of Level 50, the background looked blackish-blue and cloudy like the inside of a cave, and his battle sprite was the most notable difference: 1. He had no pupils and his eyes were completely black, his mouth was closed instead of gaping open (only opening a little bit in his 2nd frame sprite), arms were relaxed and pointing downwards. Ignoring it, I sent out Milotic first to fight, which he responded “You’re now sending out the beauty of the sea first to turn it ugly, how tacky of you as it’s going to see where it needs to be” Cocky ass, as response I used Aqua Tail to give him some tail to close that mouth of his permanently. Yet instead of an easy hit, it only managed to knock off only 10% of his health, “Please.” he tauntingly replied before using Dragon Tail which instantly knocked out my Milotic which made me cringe up in internal pain from the sight of a shiny perishing from another Pokémon, to which I sent out Taiyo next in which then popped the text [Your Pokéball was stolen] just after Taiyo was sent out, I didn’t even know how that happened or what happened. To which I used Pain Split to- “Ah, ah, ah. No being picky” to which a pixelated crunch was heard and which the text [Your Pokéball was crushed! A wild Misdreavus appeared!] seeing that was the most shocking thing I have ever seen as I don’t remember seeing that quote ever in the game, this time is where I was getting very concerned other than Ryūsei’s actions. Instead of attacking Ryūsei, she instead attacked my player and ran away. I can’t believe it, did that really just happen? Then the realization came clean to me, Ryūsei snatched the Pokéball she came from and crushed it soon after she was released which now made me nervous of what else he might do with the others.

Flygon was next. Fortunately unlike the other 2, she at least put up more of a fight against Ryusei which became a bit fierce considering it was 2 dragons that clashed in combat, I just think he’s holding back to make it fair. “Oh how ironic fate can be, I would never have believed I would be countered in combat through your “Rayquaza”. I thank you a bit for bringing something to make things.....equal, but kids like you shan't be given gratitude” I think I understood what he meant by that was how Flygon and Rayquaza had a similar color scheme and pattern with each other from the wings and tail. Both Flygon and Ryūsei fought fiercely, almost even in strength and speed; I somewhat thanked myself for the training to increase its attack and speed stats to be a worthy component. But the outcome still ended the same as before like Milotic, Ryūsei managed to overcome and defeat her with Guillotine….The fainting animation though was different as he didn’t just faint her but something more disturbing. When she was defeated, her torso fell down with half of her neck while her head was still floating until it faded, …..Oh no. did Ryūsei just do what I could believe to be the most unpredictable move in the game? All I knew is she is not coming back after that as 2 more pixelated crunches were heard “[Your Pokéball was crushed!]” after which my love for Rayquaza turned into rage as I was about to give everything I got to defeat this evil….or so I thought. After Flygon’s death, it appeared that Ryūsei was…crying?; There was a small line of tears running down his cheek, I thought to myself “Could that Flygon be special to him on a personal scale, or…he regrets fighting other Pokémon?” I thought as I picked my strongest Pokémon so far, Blaziken. “Should have left instead of coming here, I might just have let it go if you did. But no, you persisted enough to push forward to try and claim me” I heeded his warning and let out Blaziken who had the highest level in the time with Latias in 2nd place, never have I felt so stupid into thinking my highest level Pokémon in the team would stand a chance against this monster because as soon as I used Blaze Kick. The message then stated [Ryūsei caught the attack! Ryūsei used Seismic Toss! It’s super effective! Blaziken fainted] For once had this become just a battle but to a deathmatch as instead of Blaziken’s sprite going down, it went to the right just after Seismic Toss ended.

It was down to two Pokémon left, anxiety got a hold of me as I fear they would suffer the same pain as the others, I stopped for a moment to take a breather and recuperate my thoughts and mind whilst also asking myself questions on what happened or mainly what message is Ryu trying to provide. “Capture them in such an enclosed space where they can never see the light of day until released” What does this mean, what is he implying by this? After some time being idle to myself and pondering much, I recovered my mind and courage, snatched up my GBA, and got ready to finish this monster once and for all. I looked at my screen determined and shouted "Are you ready for this, you monster!?", his reply stating the following "If I were a monster, I would be having fun slaying the brethren, unlike you I prefer a fun fight and not a slaughter for your own gain. So who's the real monster here?" ...Woah, that was a bit deep I said to myself before sending out Latias who had an almost scared expression like she knew what she was up against. Ryu's reaction, not pleasant as he roared upon the sight of Latias which shook the screen, on a plus note was his sprite changing with his yellow eyes appearing but had a different and more angrier expression on his face, hands were up like in Rayquaza's actual sprite.

My hands shook a bit as I was a bit afraid of what would happen next for Latias, but regained control of myself and used Zen Headbutt. [Latias hesitated. Latias used Zen Headbutt] which did some damage on his health during this fierce but terrifying duel, this attack managed to however tick him as he retaliated with Thunder Wave to knock Latias to 50HP and paralyze her. You know what, I thought about it and made a decision to stop wasting time and Pokémon as after that attack was where I chose to use an Ultra Ball on him in which he struck first onto Latias with Hone Claws but not just once, nor twice, but around 8 times which caused Latias' sprite to change from each hit from a worried face to growing injuries hit after hit until she was disemboweled and gutted like a pig with tears of pain in her eyes. The music stopped soon as he started hitting her with his claws, now stained with blood on his hands and forearms as the message [Latias fainted] no the fuck she didn't I said with feeling of remorse. With little time to grieve, I threw an Ultra Ball at him at his most vulnerable state. 1...2....3.....[Ryusei was caugh- Oh no! The Pokemon broke out] in which Ryūsei emerged enraged with his cry twice and louder, before using Brick Break on my player......or was it as my player wasn't hit at all but instead it was my Metang who came out his pokeball to defend. "You're helping the one who holds you captive, you are a fool for believing such lies" "I'd rather die than bare witness to my comrades demise" in which my Metang replied back at him with the intent of sacrifice in his sentence before being pummeled to death by Ryusei's Brick Break to end the battle.

The cutscene afterward plays with Latias and Metang's body on the ground and good for nothing Misdreavus hiding on the right with Ryūsei infront of my player sprite to which stepped backward as he floated forward to it before grabbing it and holding it up. Why are you doing this, why are you doing this act of genocide!? "Greed, greed was what cause this fight. Greed was what caused this manslaughter. Greed was what sealed your fate! Don't you get it!? You ARE the genocide, you are the insect that steps foot in my own turf, and i'm the pesticide. You use us for your own entertainment to which we start to fear each other, even the myths bow before you until you start using them from their own purposes. My comrades, their rubies and sapphires trapped in that damn puter to which I respond." [Your PC has been emptied, all Pokemon have been freed] "You put this upon yourself, you caused this, do you think I wanted this, do you think even the origin of all pokemon wanted this? N O! Grrrrgh, the thought of you even being here is already starting to piss me off! He shook a bit before moving to the edge "If you had a heart of flight and not a soul of fight, maybe you'd still be living. Gifts would mean well, but what you did was unjustifiable. To that, you must be removed, forever. F a r e w e l l" to which he lets go of my player by throwing them, body plummeting to the ground off a 100-story tower....falling........falling............falling....splat on the ground under blood from the impact. Last thing being seen was my Milotic peeking from the water to show it survived and Gold with his Celebi approaching from the side to greet me which he walked over to my character's body and kneeled down "You had a choice and it was death, now come and join me to which you won't have to suffer this pain no more." But, what you're saying is- "Heh, isn't it quite obvious?" He stood up and faced the screen as half of Celebi's body disintegrated "I M D E A D" as his limbs vanished and eyes expanded before the screen going dark as the text [Deleting save file. Please do not turn off device.....] for a moment with...Ryusei crying on the screen while thinking of what were his actions before my GBA cutting off after. No words, no thoughts, only questions to myself and of the game. My respect for Rayquaza, lowered but felt a bit of sorrow and grief for him as I placed my GBA back to rest as I looked at it and pondered of what could occur next.
