Pokyam ( Pokemon Viral )

THIS STORY IS A REIMAGINING OF THE GAME UHCAKIP.EXE/POKEMON DEATH VERSION.
It started when I found some weird youtube video. It showed a sprite of Pikachu from Pokemon Silver with the text "DOWNLOAD POKYAM IN DESCRIPTIN" or something to that effect. I was suspicious, but I was tired and desperate to find at least ONE interesting Pokemon fangame. So I went to the Mediafire link in the description and downloaded it. After I unzipped the file, I was greeted with the lone program, simply called " Pokyam "

I double clicked and started the game. and without even an intro, I was already in the player character's house. I didn't even get to name my player or rival. It was at this point I noticed the sprites weren't even consistent, being from both Gen 1 and Gen 2. Nontheless, I played on.

I walked into Professor Oak's lab. His back was facing me, so I walked up to him, and he turned around.

" Ah, you're finally here! Unfortunately, most of our Pokemon have been taken already. However, we do have one left.. "

And then a text box popped from the bottom of the screen, saying " You recieved Uhcakip! "

Uhcakip. That's a weird name.. I have not a clue why Pikachu's name was in reverse, but in my groggy state, I didn't bother asking. After recieving Uhcakip, Professor Oak said one more thing before I left the lab.

" Remember: POKEMON ARE FRIENDS. "

At this point, things were finally starting to seem off to me. That just seemed like.. an out of nowhere thing to say. I left the lab and went out into the tall grass. But right as soon as I stepped foot on it, the game crashed. Now I was awake.

" What the hell? " I said confused. I started the game up again, And all of a sudden, I was in nothing but tall grass. I walked upwards, when something came up onto my screen. A sprite of Pikachu from Pokemon Silver, once again. But for some reason, he had red skin and cyan cheeks, instead of yellow and red. Underneath the sprite, It said " Uhcakip is a friend. "

So that's how that thing looks.. It's oddly adorable in a way. I managed to walk through the entire field, without encountering a single wild Pokemon. Again, as soon as I stepped out of the grass, the game crashed again. And once again, I restarted it, this time spawning in some sort of stone maze, with a sprite of the elusive little Pikachu look-alike standing in front of me.

" Catch him if you can! "

It displayed that message, as Uhcakip ran off, and I tried finding him again. As I was searching, something caught my ears. The first music track since I first started the game. It was a slightly slower version of the Alph Ruins track from Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver. Not slowed down to the point of being horrifying, but just enough to the point where it's still very unnerving. And then, after, let's say 10 minutes of searching, I found the little scamp once again. And then the same sprite of Uhcakip popped up on my screen, except his expression blank. Not angry, not, happy, not sad...just.. blank.

" Uhcakip wants you to stop. "

And once again, the game crashed. I was debating whether to start it up again, but then when I stopped to think about it, this is probably just someone's edgy rom hack or something. It's not like it can hurt me in real life. So, once more, I started the game back up. And Uhcakip was once again facing me. And now, another sprite of him had shown up. Instead of being simply a recolored Pikachu, it turned into something.. much worse. The red of it's skin started to dull, and now it had no arms, tail, or nose. But then there was it's face. It's eye sockets were overly wide, the only thing within them being 2 cyan lines in each socket, seeming to resemble more realistic eyes. And finally, the mouth has become abnormally wide, full of long teeth, the same Cyan as it's eyes. Uhcakip was scowling at me.

" Turn off the game. "

He ran a few steps back, and when I got closer, a dialogue box appeared.

" I said turn off the game. "

And once more, he ran back, but much further from me. Upon approaching him, he now said

" The more you play, the more I hurt. "

" I'm not a Pokemon. "

And then, he fleed once again.

but instead of going right back to him, i took in what he said. The more I play, the more he hurts. He's not a Pokemon. Then what is he? How is he hurting?

I approached him.

" I don't want my purpose to be reduced to this. "

" Destroying people's possessions is something I don't like to do. "

" But it was my purpose. "

" Now please, turn off the game. "

and, after he ran away the final time and I walked up to him, my player slowed down right before reaching him, Displaying one more sprite of Uhcakip. This time, his scowl changed into a smile.

" . . . "

" I should have expected that. "

" G O O D B Y E " Uhcakip's face now took up the entire scream, laughing like a psychopath, as my computer shut down. I kept trying to turn it back on, but it stayed dead. I'm glad I have a new PC now. I've been wanting to tell people about this experience for a long time. I'm not sure if the link is still around, but if you find it, I'd suggest you don't download it, unless you want to destroy your entire PC.
