Maybe abra is smarter than us.

I was once told a short story about an abra warning everybody about buried alive. Here is what it said (while it slept):

"A wise abra once said whilst it slept: when the hero is born, it opens on eye. When its tone is played, it will start to stir. And when the hero proves its worth, another shall be taken under. Another shall be, truly, buried alive."

It was written by a pokélore maniac. I did not get his name and never heard from him again. I've been studying it up and down and I think I figured it out.

"When the hero is born, it opens one eye": the hero, ash, red, or any bizarre name it is still the main character. When the game is started!

"When the tone is played": for a while this one stumped me, until I tried an original pokémon red rom, and fainted from lavender town's lavender town syndrome. Lavender town, buried alives tone!

"Hero proves his/her/its worth": no need for a rocket scientist. It means to fight it after catching missingno. You have to be pretty worthy to capture missingno. Considering it's the strongest pokémon ever.

"Gets truly, buried alive": this part freaked me out. Is he, making more buried alives? Each time he claims a victim there is a new buried alive? If that's the truth, then the pokémon world is doomed. Do you realize how many people already did the glitch? No wonder no one believes them, about 1000 or so people saying that they battled it and failed at the same time? I wouldn't even believe it if I saw it already and that happened just because, well, it's a little shocking that many people did it and never won. But than again

I think I figured it out. Buried alive... Or, the buried alives, all own two white hands. There the most powerful thing in the game, even more than a lvl 255 missingno.. But, I don't know if my assumption of what the story meant was right or not. To help you understand better, I will tell you the whole thing.

A boy and a young abra travelled to lavender town after catching a strange new species of pokémon, dexter, the pokédex, called it missingno.. They could hear a strange tone playing in their ears, but everyone else was unaffected. His abra was asleep and following using telekinesis. They stopped at the door of lavender tower, and his abra started speaking (originally in Japanese, English translation):

"When the hero is born, it opens one eye. When its tone is played, it will start to stir. And when the hero proves its worth, another shall be taken under. Another shall be, truly, buried alive."

The trainer, we will refer to as Roy, walked into the tower cautiously. The tone played louder and he heard a strange voice.

"Come to me child, I am lonely…"

It was coming from upstairs. He walked up, almost as if the voice was controlling him, and his abra, his abra... Poor thing... All the ghost pokémon and actual ghosts, they scared him too much. It fainted, and they, I hate to say it, they ate the poor thing right down to the bone. Roy walked up to the top floor. He saw a man. The man said:

"Mmmmmmm... Fresh meat.."

Then he saw what had happened to the man. He was half way buried but trying to get out. Roy ran... Only, he did not get far, what stopped him was a tiny, transparent abra. The creature looked angry, and it trapped Roy in place. The man quickly caught up to him, and, grabbed him from behind by the neck. Just loose enough to keep him alive. He dragged the trainer into the ground with him where he went back to rest. 100s of years later the same thing happened to a different trainer. Well call him, orange. But this time, there were two creatures, one less decayed than the other, with a ghost abra to always follow.

Again, not my writing and, I'm guessing it made no sense to you either. All I can guess it that Roy was turned into a buried alive, hence the dead abra. So maybe, maybe that means the abra was smarter than all humans, to not follow. Maybe it was safer to just stay behind. I don't know. But what I do know is: there is more to it than that. There is a extra line I could not translate: あなたと私は、我々は今、似ています. 今私はとても孤独ではないかもしれません.
