"You made a mistake" ( Pokemon Topaz chapter 3 )

By Trainer Gold's persona

Read pokemon topaz and the topaz archives before this.

It was summer and I wanted to do something fun over the summer, so I got my Gameboy and put my cartridge of Pokemon Ruby in. My sister Gloria was on her bed playing pokemon black on her ds. She was nice and she was never rude to me. I clicked new game and the lecture on pokemon word started.

'''Hello, I'm Professor Birch and this is the pokemon world. There are many pokemon in this world and you need to catch them all to become a free person and safe without any worries.'''

Become a free person and safe without any worries? I don't remember that being in any of the pokemon games. I haven't played this yet, so I asked my sister.

" Yo Gloria, is the lecture in ruby supposed to say ' you need to catch them all to become a free person and safe without any worries?' I asked.

"No, it didn't say that for me." Gloria said in her hollow voice.

'''In this world, it's every man for himself. So you need a pokemon before you leave to become a part of the pokemon containment lab. So are you a boy or girl?'''

I picked girl. This was weird. Why is this being weird and creepy? I continued with the lecture.

Alright, then let's get started with your adventure.

It took to a black screen, then to screen with my sprite in a truck moving somewhere. I saw a person driving it and he spoke.

So why are you heading to Littleroot?

It gave me an option to type in what I wanted to say.

Birch wanted me to test to become a part of some sort of organization. I said.

'''I don't think you should try this. My brother used to work here and he died. He became a pokemon and I saw him one day. He attacked me and that's why I have this bandage wrapped around my right eye. My name is Troy, nice to meet you.''' Troy said.

My name is Mel. I said.

'''If you find him, then catch him if you can. If you do then bring him to me. I want to talk to him.''' Troy said.

The truck stopped and the door opened.

'''What ya waitin' for, start your investigation. Here take this it's a phone, text me with it. Text me if you want to help me. Well here do you want to help me?''' Troy asked.

A yes or no option popped up. I picked yes.

'''All right then here. Update me every now and then if you can.''' Troy said.

I walked out into Littleroot and I went into the house we stopped at.

'''Hi, Mel, I'm in a rush, so all I can say right now is that your room is upstairs, set your clock, don't stay up after 12, go into your cabinet and crab the id card, and go into the laboratory. My name is Isabel by the way.'''

She rushed out of the house. I was confused so I got up and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote everything down. I went back to my Gameboy and went to my room. I set my clock. It was currently 10:14 am in real-time. So I set it to that exact time. I went to the cabinet and grabbed to id. I went out of the house and went into the lab.

'''Do you have an id? If you have one, hold B to scan it.'''

It held B and went inside.

'''Oh, you made it! Check this out. This pokemon is called a Charmander and its flame is extremely strong. With enough experiments, we can make this thing become a weapon for the next time Groudon attacks. Here take it and take 10 scientific pokeballs.'''

I took them then went out. But he stopped me.

'''Before you leave, just know to NOT keep these pokemon. Pokemon aren't made to be pets, they are made to be a weapon for THE Hoenn region.'''

I walked out and went into the grass. Someone approached me from behind.

'''Hi Mel, how about you follow me, I know tons of pokemon locations. Where ya wanna go?'''

Then a few options popped up:


 * Fire-type
 * Wate-type
 * Electric-type

      [ Locked ]

      [ Locked ]

I picked fire type. It faded to black then teleported me to a location with lots of grass.

'''Come back to me when you're ready to come back. If you want more locations, then capture a strong fire-type pokemon.'''

I went into the grass and got an encounter. It was a Charmander. It was happy and ready to play a game or something. I threw a Pokeball at it and then it caught it. I kept searching and searching for a strong pokemon. After an hour of trying to find the strongest fire pokemon, I went to him.

Where do you want to go next?

I unlocked the option of going to a ghost-type place. I selected ghost-type and it sent me to a village. I was placed near a motel, so I went in. There was nobody there, so I just went into a room and slept. I woke up and went outside.

I saw a black blur speed across my screen. Then text popped up.

'''He might be here. Go to the mountain of ghastly hills.'''

I went to the mountain, which took me a few minutes to walk to. I started climbing up and up and up. When I was at the top, I saw a pokemon. It was like a ghost. Well, it was actually. It was red, white, and black. It started floating towards me and said.

'''You won't live, you little pokemon dictators. I will kill every one of you people and make sure everyone and every pokemon can live peacefully in this world of Hoenn.'''

A battle started and its name was Darkrai. I threw a Pokeball at it and I caught it. I was suddenly teleported back to Littleroot Town and a text box popped up.

'''Bzzz. Bzzz. Bzzz. You've received 3 messages.'''

I went to my items and selected my phone. I had texts from Troy.

Hi, so yesterday Birch came up to me and gave me a 10,000 dollar fine, for trying to make you do something you weren't.

Hi.

Hi.

The messages were kind of weird except for the last two. I started typing something in.

'''So I caught a Darkrai. Here's an image of it.'''

He replied fast as hell.

'''That's him. That's my brother!''' Troy replied with.

He sent me his address and I headed off to walk there. It took about 23 minutes, but I made it. I saved my game and turned my Gameboy off. I was tired and it was 7 pm. Gloria was downstairs with her friends. I went down there to try to have a conversation.

"Pokemon ruby is creepy. It has you working as an experimental freak and you're doing some laboratory science crap." I said.

Everyone looked at me with disgust and said bye to Gloria and left. That's what pokemon ruby was about... RIGHT? Gloria got up and went back to her room with no expression nor comment. I followed her into our room but I went to bed.

         REFUSING CAN HURT

I had a dream about Darkrai. I saw him and we were both on a mountain, with the moon towering over. Darkrai started talking.

" I was murdered a few years ago. My friend just got out of a coma and we celebrated, after that, I went home to play FireRed. I was playing and then on my screen, popped up a Pikachu named Topaz. It said, ' I will finally give you what you deserve and will make sure you die. I won't let you destroy anyone's life anymore.' And after it was talking to me for a while, the voice felt like it was right there in the room with me. I turned around and saw my friend, John's sister and she was holding a topaz stone. She said, ' You can't escape from your reality... your fate.' And then I was electrocuted and I was a human. I was in pokemon sun and moon. Then I died in the process of my job. I went to the Hoenn region to find my brother that was in here. I tried to kill him, so he wouldn't become a scientist, but failed."

Suddenly I woke up. It was daytime and my sister was already awake. I was normally up before her, but then I checked the time. It was 11 am.

" Had a good nap huh?" Gloria said with a melancholy grin.

" Yeah, I guess," I said.

I got up and then everything faded to black. Darkrai was in front of me.

"So, do you want to help me become reincarnated into a human being of the Earth?" Darkrai asked.

I didn't know what to say, but I knew that he must have done something for someone to kill him. I knew who John was since he was my friend at school. I knew his sister died, so how did she kill Darkrai?

" No, I'm sorry, but I have things that are still on my mind. I don't wanna get involved." I said.

" You made a mistake," Darkrai said. " If you want to make everything right again, solve all the problems that have been happening in this family, and make sure everyone who is the culprit of the incident is eliminated." Darkrai said.

"Well, if you put it that way then......... sure," I said.

I went to John's house and knocked on the door.

" Mel!? Sure, yeah, come in!" John said.

I walked in and he took me to his room. I sat on his bed.

" So, could I help you in this situation you're in?" I asked.

" Sure," John said.

" And on more question," I continued; "would you wanna go out sometime soon?" I asked.

I've been wanting to ask him that since we were in 7th grade. I'm so glad I finally got it out.

" Of course I do!" John said.

I was happy and blushed, but quickly got back on the subject.

" Anyway, there is something I have to tell you," I said.

I told him everything that I found out and he was surprised.

" So sis isn't dead? Well, I guess we need to talk to mom abo-" I cut John off.

" No, I'll talk to her and manipulate her into thinking that I'm helping her."

He nodded and I started feeling guilty for accepting the promise with Darkrai which John told me is Kien. I went downstairs and sat on the couch with Martha.

" So, Martha, whats your plan to getting what you want?" I asked.

"JOHN'S LIFE!!!" she said with a psychotic laugh.

I was ready to betray Kien now because no one like John deserved this. I went to the basement that was hidden. I opened it and whispered,

" I'm here to get you out Ray."

I saw Ray cuddling Pikachu and she look at me and smiled. She stood up and walked towards me. She gave me the topaz.

" Watch through it okay. If you need to know when we need help, so don't lose it. And while were at it, make me invisible." Ray said.

I turned her invisible and I couldn't hear if she walked off, but it seemed like it. I went to John's room and closed the door and he was crying.

" S-s-sis... is that you?" John said.

" Yes, you idiot it's me, and keep it down. Your mom has some intentions. I'll update you on that later though, but right now we need to get you a ruby stone, so you can eliminate her." Ray said.

" Okay," John said.

" Let me guess, you'll tell us more about the stone later?" I said

" Yup," Ray said.

Knock knock knock. Crap, their mother was here.

" MEEEEEEEEEEEEL, WHAT IN TARNATION ARE YOU DOING!? RAY GET BACK IN HERE BEFORE I HAVE TO ACTUALLY KILL YOU!!!" Martha said.

John was shocked by what she said.

" Mom, I won't let you do that. Alright guys let's do this."
