Pokémon Topaz

Pokemon Topaz by Trainer Gold's persona

So this took place a few years ago when I was 12. I was a huge pokemon fan and still am but this was an experience that kept me in a mental hospital for a while. So one-day pokemon ruby was announced and my birthday was coming up. I was so happy to hear that this was coming out. I played pokemon Firered so this was gonna be a breeze. I asked my parents if I could it for my b-day and they said yes, mostly because of my good grades and my chores. My b-day was in 2 days so let's talk about today after I asked.

2 Days Left...

I went over to my friend Kien's house so I can tell him how I'm getting ruby on my b-day. He was very nice. He always helps people, makes friends with everyone, and takes charge of danger for people no matter the situation. I went in and went to his room upstairs. He was home alone because of his parent's jobs.

" Sup John!" Kien said eagerly.

" Hi Kien! Guess what? My mom is buying me, Pokémon Ruby, on my b-day!"

" What!? My mom is getting it after work today!"

" Wow, well do you want to play pokemon FireRed?"

"Sure!"

We both hopped on FireRed and started trading pokemon. I had so many pokemon. I had everyone except for mew, but I didn't care for him that much. " So do you want my dragonite?" I asked.

"Sure." I traded him my Dragonite but it refused. Dragonite doesn't want to leave your side. What? This has never happened before. It must be a glitch I thought.

" Um, Kien, it says he doesn't want to leave my side."

" Lemme see." Kien saw it. I say him shake a little and his eyes got wide. " Um, maybe I'll take your lv. 36 Charizard." Kien said reluctantly to make me try again. "

" Okay." I said. It traded this time. I'm confused about Dragonite. Once we were done trading, we tried to figure out how to trade him my Dragonite. Kien loves Dragonite but has no luck of catching even a Dratini so he can evolve it to a Dragonite. My Drognite was level 67 and he was weak. I liked how he looked but never really used him. '''Dragonite used scratch. It hurt itself because of its sadness.''' It hit multiple times. '''It hit 13 time(s). Dragonite fainted. All your pokemon are paralyzed in fear due to the suicide. Would you like to run?''' I picked yes and it sent me to the PokeCenter. Kien was frozen in fear. I was going to hug him before I went to ask Nurse Joy to heal my pokemon but I was scared also. I walked to Nurse Joy and she said...

'''Hello, John would you like me to heal your pokemon? Wait let me see those. Your Dragonite... it's dead. I'm sorry but I can't heal Dragonite. How did this happen? Anyhow, I'll heal the rest of your pokemon.'''

She healed the rest and then I went out to head to Lavender town. I walked into Lavender town. I open my Pokedex and started looking if I caught Gastl-

" OW! GET OUT OF THERE! NOW!" Kien said in an outburst.

" Wh-"

"NOW!"

I went out of Lavender town then asked him what was wrong with him. " Bro you chill?" I asked.

" That music is killing me. My headaches and my stomach is twisting in a spiral motion." Kien said.

I realized how this was a copy of FireRed he brought me from Japan. The original one. This made me think of Lavender Town Syndrome that happened there before he moved into Canada.

" Oh yeah um this is the original FireRed."

" Yes, idiot I told you not to go there!"

I knew a cure for it and this helped me when I first went to Lavender Town. I gave him some nice high-quality headphones and blasted dubstep for 5 hours.

" Thanks, John."

"You're welcome!" I yelled since he could barely hear me.

I went home and went to my room. It was 7 pm and it was the weekend so I could stay up. I started watching an episode of pokemon.

I'm on episode 56 so I was almost done. After that, I did my routine before I went to bed. While brushing my teeth I heard a slowed-down cry of Dragonite. It made me a headache. It lasted until I fell asleep.

   1 Day Before B-day...

" Johnathan, it's your last day a pre-teen!" My mom said.

" Yeah I'm happy."

" So do you wanna go ahead and get ruby?"

" Oh my God, yes of course! Let me get ready!"

" Hahaha. You are so cute when you're excited."

I got ready and then we went to Walmart to get pokemon ruby. We walked to the game section and there it was. A stash of Pokemon games. I saw ruby and sapphire and..... topaz? Was I high or did I just see topaz?

" So lets get you 2 since ya know I don't want you to be bored."

I picked ruby and topaz. I was so pumped to see topaz. Topaz sounded cool and it had a new pokemon on the cover of the cartridge. We went to the register and w bought them both. We went home and I grabbed my GameBoy and went to Kien's house.

Kien's parents, Koby and Saki were both there on the couch crying and having an argument. " Excuse me, um, is Kien here?"

" Yes go ahead." Saki said. Her eyes were more watery than a lake.

"Hi Kie-!"

He was frozen in fear it looked like. He was holding and staring at his GameBoy as if it was a grave or a casket at a funeral. I w walked up to him. His skin was pale, his eyes were bloodshot. He turned to look at me and he stood and dropped his GameBoy. He turned his hand to a fist and started charging at me. I kicked him in the head swinging him out of my way. I ran to the GameBoy and picked it just to see an image of him being. .. what. It looked like a skeletal zombie crawling out the ground and he just encountered it. The text said... KIEN, if you don't kill JOHN you'll be BURIED ALIVE. What was this, some kind of ROM? I pulled out the cartridge and threw it at the wall and calmed him down.

" Bro it's okay I destroyed it. Don't play that damn ROM, some psycho GameFreak worker must have made that crap." I said in a soft but shaky voice.

" Okay. I'm sorry about that. I'm so stupid."

I ran to him and hugged him and told him he wasn't and he just did it out of fear, which he agreed with. I showed him pokemon ruby and topaz and we talked about how he was staying over at my house from today until December which is in 5 months. After the talk, he came to my house and his parents were leaving. When he came in he got in my bed and I slept on the other bed that was on the side when my sister was alive. I don't really wanna talk about it.

B-day

I woke up and ran to my GameBoy and put topaz in. My mom said that I could stay in my room all day until 8. She already brought breakfast to my room but I wasn't hungry. Pokemon topaz, my GameBoy read. I selected new game and the new professor named Lake was giving the classic " Welcome to the pokemon world" lecture. I set my clock and yata yata yata. I went to the grass without a pokemon and then Lake approached me and said... Hey, you need a pokemon first, here pick one of the three. The following pokemon were...


 * Treeko
 * Pikachu
 * Charmander

I picked Pikachu since I loved him. I like Charmander and Treeko but I wanted Pikachu as a starter. I did my first battle which was against a shiny Squirtle. How did I encounter a shiny already? I caught it and went on with my journey. After a few battles, I realized how when I defeated an enemy it would say... '''Pikachu killed a wild zigzagoon. He gained 56 demon topaz.''' What the heck. Why is this in a pokemon game? I went to Lavender town and since this was a new version I didn't worry about the song or LTS. But I was wrong. This is destroying my ears in many different ways. I quickly exited the town and went to Celadon City. Kien woke up.

" Whats up?" Kien said.

" Nothing, just playing topaz. This isn't normal bro check it out. I went into a battle and showed him the message when I won.

" No way," Kien said.

I went to the PokeCenter since after that fight Pikachu was almost dead. My rival, Herd came behind me and started talking to me. '''Hey JOHN why are you letting your little topaz demon get in my way of getting healed? Your Pikachu has been taking the souls of pokemon and it killed mine in our first fight and you're just noticing that he's killing pokemon, you idiot. Look at him with his eyes distorted and his melancholy girn. You ar-.''' My Pikachu jumped at his ripping Herd's eyes out of his sockets and devouring Herd's body, which I and Kien had to watch for 7 straight minutes while also having to hear the loud screaming coming from Herd.

Pikachu looked at the screen, then the screen went black. My GameBoy made the sound when you take out the cartridge while the game is still on. Then in white text, my GameBoy read a message that said 5241592073617973206861707079206269727468646179.

" That might be hex code." Kien said.

Kien turned on my Windows XP and searched up a hex to text converter and he typed in the numbers and it converted to " RAY says happy birthday" I never even nicknamed my Pikachu Ray or know anyone named Ray. My GameBoy started up Topaz again and I selected continue. I went to my Pokemon and my Pikachu was named RAY. I went to Lavender Town but warned Kien first.

" Alright I'll go into the bathroom and close my ears." Kien said.

It's a good thing there was a bathroom in my room because I didn't feel like getting up out of my bed. I went into the town and I saw a gym there. Why was there a gym in Lavender Town? I went in and then Red came up behind me. Hi, are the trainer with the demon Pikachu? A yes or no option popped up and I said yes. Okay well, I wanna battle you! I felt pity for Red challenging me since I knew that Pikachu was gonna kill him. Kien came out of the bathroom.

" Red!? No, why him!?" Kien said pitying Red.

He sent out Charizard and I sent out Pikachu. Charizard used Fireball and Pikachu dodged it. '''RAY used Iron tail. Pikachu killed Trainer Red. Charizard fled but RAY followed up with Thunder Scythe. Charizard was decapitated. RAY gained 666 demon topaz.''' I screamed my lungs out the same did Kien.

" What the absolute hell?" Kien said crying at the graphic of Red and Charizard decapitated.

" I...I...I...I can't believe... believe this." I said while crying with Kien at the same graphic death we just witnessed.

Pikachu is evolving.............. your Pikachu has evolved into Demon Lord Topaz. Topaz stared at the screen, then gave us a wide red grin. After that, the screen went black. On the screen was another series of hex code. 544f50415a2077696c6c2073686f77206e6f206d6572637920544f50415a2077696c6c2064657374726f7920544f50415a2077696c6c2066696e6420686973206d617374657220544f50415a2077696c6c20636f6e7175657220616c6c20544f50415a2077696c6c206265207468652063756c70726974206f66207265616c2d776f726c64206d757264657220. Kien went back to the converter and the text read " TOPAZ will show no mercy TOPAZ will destroy TOPAZ will find his master TOPAZ will conquer all TOPAZ will be the culprit of real-world murder"

" Shoot, real-world murder. I'm gonna call 911." Kien said.

"Lets go in the closet and keep playing until they get here." I said.

WILL he come here? SHOW no mercy why? Am I supposed to LOVE him? TO whom will help us? Do YOU think I'm gonna die today? I'M not stupid. SORRY, mom if you die but if you do I'LL DIE FOR YOU. I hate this game. I JUST want to get this all out of my head. He WANTED TO SHOW me power. YOU wouldn't let him do that right? THAT thing is not proper. I'M going to destroy this after we're done. USEFUL evidence is worthless unless something happens.

" Hey, the GameBoy turned back on John!" Kien said, cutting off my thoughts.

I continued to Red's body. Red is dead.  No matter how many times I interacted with his body the message just repeated. I went to the gym leader. '''Hi, I'm gym leader Keimana let's see your potential. Wait, that Pikachu- no that's Demon Lord Topaz! Please, I'm begging for mercy my lord, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please-'''

I couldn't move or control the screen. Topaz went up to Keimana and used topaz's tail and sliced his entire body in half. My character walked out of the gym and The sky turned red and buildings were covered in blood. He walked the place where you fight Groudon which took a good 10 minutes to walk to get to. After this, I noticed how this was a mix of Ruby and FireRed. Groudon started growling, rumbling the screen, but Topaz leaped toward him and split his body in half. Groudon's body fell in the lava. Topaz looked at the screen. He gave a wide grin then the screen went black with only him being visible. He cocked his head to the side and his smile got wider. Then text popped up on the screen reading 5355525649564520554e54494c2054484559204745542048455245e280a60a.

I heard a thud on my door. Kien hurried and converted it. It said,

" SRUVIVE UNTIL THEY GET HERE..." Kien was shaking and I grabbed the baseball bat that was in the closet with us. Thud...Thud...Thud. It sounded like footsteps. Then suddenly my door burst open. I was hyperventilating. I was about to die. And Kien screamed. Dang it, we're dead. Clank clank clank clank clank boom!. There it was. A tall humanoid skeletal pale yellow zombie. It had muscles and topaz embedded in its head. It was crinkly too. The police came in and pinned it down and shot about 58 times until they were sure it was dead. Then they took the topaz and destroyed it.

" Where's the game? If you still have it give it to us and we'll look into it." The officer said. His name was Klay.

" Y-y-y-yeah we have it still. Um, here have it." Kien said crying.

I was still and pale. I couldn't move, but I was crying and making no sound.

" Topaz. Is going to kill me. Help. Help. Help." I said.

" He might be traumatized. I think he might need to be in a hospital with us for a while. You okay Kien?" Klay asked.

" I'm okay. It's just that, I...I never thought a GameFreak worker would be able to do some twisted, demonic, crap like this." Kien said.

They took us out of the closet. I was driven in a hospital truck to a room in the hospital. Kien came every day to check on me and give me stuff. After a few years, I was able to go home. I'm 16 now and I'm still a big pokemon fan but I won't ever play that game again. While Klay was investigating the game he went missing and still wasn't found yet.

Don't worry guys I'm okay now. I just wanted to share my experience

Welp Black and White were coming out. I better get myself a ds. I got a ds later and then when black came out I got it. When I picked my starter and got in my first battle in the tall grass I encountered a Pikachu named

TOPAZ The monster walking in the hallway Sounds I recorded during the incident                                                                                                                               Herd Screaming
