Believe that most people do not like to take over others' saves when playing games, but prefer to play the game from beginning to end for a more comprehensive gaming experience.
But I don't like that. I'm happy to take over the game saves that others have completed or are about to complete. Of course, the game cartridges in my hands are second-hand or have undergone more transformations. It's not because this second-hand cartridge is cheaper that I bought it, but because I enjoy playing games that have already been cleared without any obstacles. I don't care about the plot, I just want an unobstructed path. Games are just for me to pass the time, aren't they? When others are still working hard to master the plot, I am already at ease and wandering around all over the map - hey, handing over the hard work to others and enjoying the results directly, isn't that great?
A few days ago, while searching for second-hand game cartridge online, I stumbled upon a currently available game called 'Pokemon Black'. So, it seems that I have a previous version of Black 2 without a Black version. So I asked the seller if there was an archive in the cartridge. The seller remained silent for a while, and later told me that there was a challenge to the Pokémon League's archive, but for some reason, they were unable to delete it, so they were willing to sell it at an extremely low price. I was so happy about it that I quickly bought it as if I was afraid the other side would retract after receiving the news.
Perhaps others cannot understand why I want to buy a cartridge that cannot be deleted, but for me, it means making a profit. A few days later, as soon as the cartridge arrived, I couldn't wait to open the package. The appearance of the cartridge is very new, it doesn't look like it's second-hand at all, and it's cheap! It was almost sold to me for free, and it also came with a customs clearance archive. It's the first time in so long that I've encountered such a cartridge that suits my heart. I took out my Nintendo DS Lite and inserted this black version cassette into it. The game read and started very smoothly. In a moment, I saw a save file called "Grek". Okay, but its play time is only 0:00. Is this really a clearance archive? I was very confused, and then I recalled what the seller said, 'This archive cannot be deleted..’. Hey, out of curiosity, I deleted the file. Hey?? Did I delete it?? I'm puzzled. But at the same time, I also realized that the person might be deceiving me. Oh, I said there's no such strange archive.
But I'm a bit regretful that I didn't go in just now to see what that archive called "Grek" looks like. Forget it, on second thought, the duration of the 0:00 game may just have been named. Although it didn't satisfy me, the fact that the cartridge was very cheap was not a fake, so I had to accept my fate and start playing this game from scratch (after all, this kind of cheap product is not something you can usually find). I am preparing to start a new game, but to my surprise, Professor Aurea Juniper did not come to introduce us to the game after entering. It seems that I have entered an existing archive. As for my speculation, I saw the male protagonist's sprite standing in the center of the home.
I checked the trainer card and his name turned out to be the "Grek" I just deleted. I suddenly felt a chill in my spine, possibly due to the inexplicable gust of wind that had just blown through, but at that moment, my Nintendo DS Lite suddenly shut down with a snap. No, I remember this game console must be fully charged. It's really strange, I muttered and tried to power it on again. There's no problem. It rebooted, and I entered Pokemon Black again. The "Grek" I deleted actually reappeared. I instantly understood why it was said that the archive could not be deleted, and now it seems that it is indeed the case. Uh, no matter what the problem is, it's just a game save, won't it be anything, I think.
I moved Grek downstairs, but my mother was not here, which is also very concerning. Or perhaps I started to realize that this is not a normal save, it may have been artificially modified and caused some errors in the game's internal data. I hope this will not affect the entire game experience, I hope so.
But when Grek left, I became even more convinced that this archive was completely a mistake. Grek actually came directly to the Pokémon League, which is completely non-existent. I tried to get Grek out of here, but the game popped up a text box that explicitly stopped me. But rather than being a game text box, it's more like Grek himself suddenly speaking:
"I need to be the champion."
But I don't want to be here. I want Grek to visit other places in the Unova Region. But Grek has been resisting my actions, and even he seems to gradually become impatient. "Stop your meaningless behavior, our wishes need to be fulfilled for each other." Wish? I probably guessed that Grek's desire was to challenge the league for the second time and become the champion. What is my wish? I know that Grek's term 'me' definitely does not refer to me sitting in front of the screen right now. Perhaps it's the predecessor or even the previous owner of this cartridge? I don't know, but since he said that, there's no need for me to do anything extra. Speaking of challenging the alliance, I realized that I should check out Grek's pokemon. The result surprised me greatly, it was six Level 1 Shiny Pokemon named Litwick. I don't know why the former owner only gave Grek the candlelight spirit, which is a pokemon. It's really confusing, so I plan to go to the reply center on the left side of the Pokémon League and open the computer to change the team. After all, how can Level 1 pokemon fight in the League. But Grek seems unwilling to exchange.
"There's no need for that."
Grek is probably just trying to fulfill his wish. Okay, I won't force anyone to do it. If I lose, maybe Grek will give up on it. So I brought all six of Grek's Shiny Pokemon into the League.
To be honest, I didn't really want to help Grek fight seriously, so I randomly chose the order of battles. Oh, the first choice was the fighting Heavenly King Marshal, which is nothing special. Moreover, what Grek holds is only a level 1 Litwick, and a level 71 Breloom is released from the opposite side. Okay, so it seems that Grek is definitely going to lose. I clicked on the skill panel and the only skill inside was 'Hex'. There is no other choice, I can only choose this. I don't know why, but in the first round, Breloom showed "cowering and unable to use moves", which caused Grek's Litwick to launch an attack. What's even more surprising is that Breloom was killed with one strike after being hit by a double whammy? This is impossible, Hex never comes singly and has never had such an effect. I was shocked to see the Level 1 Litwick effortlessly kill the Breloom, and it gained a lot of experience, even advancing directly to Level 20, but it did not learn any new skills.
Now, the only thing that can help me explain these phenomena is the serious error in the archived data. It may have been tampered with by a lot of kernel source code. Okay, but these seem to be favorable modifications for Player. But for some unknown reason, I suddenly shivered, and the temperature around me seemed to have dropped a bit again? But it was okay, so I continued to play with this modified cartridge. Because of this strange skill, I am not worried that Grek will lose. By the end of Marshal's last pokemon, the Litwick had quickly risen to level 80. I have never seen a pokemon upgrade so fast before, and inexplicably feel very happy? I easily chose 'Hex' again, but to my surprise, the other party used 'Destiny Bond' to die together with this Litwick. Hey, but after the battle ended, he didn't say anything about martial arts. I originally wanted to interact with Marshal, but Grek stopped me:
"There are still five left."
Five? At first, I didn't realize what his words meant, and then suddenly remembered his wish. Well, there are three heavenly kings and one champion... why are there five? Oh, his Litwick happens to have five more, but I don't know what that means. I checked his backpack and it was empty. There was nothing inside. It was strange, not even an important item. I looked at his pokemon again, and the dying Litwick had actually risen to level 100. What's going on? I quickly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with its pixels. When I looked at the overview, I finally discovered the source of the strange feeling. The flame above its head had extinguished, and its eyes had now become a black hole. Even... it grinned and smiled... this smile made me feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
I sneezed, is it my illusion? It seems colder now than just now, maybe because I feel cold. I'm a bit afraid of this archive, it's not normal, it's definitely not normal!! I should have turned it off immediately, but my NDSL can't turn it off now. No matter how I push the power button, the screen doesn't seem to go out at all. On the contrary, there is a sound of candlelight spirit coming from the game console... but it's very twisted.
My hands began to tremble, so I decided to drop it and run away, but my legs were like someone had caught me, unable to move, unable to go anywhere. It seems that I can only take the path of fulfilling Grek's wishes. I seem to have no other choice but to suppress my heart and reluctantly continue to challenge with those eerie candlelight spirits.
There is no difficulty. Every candlelight spirit has its own misfortune and will be killed with one blow. However, every Litwick finally falls down because of the "Destiny Bond" effect. After dying, the flame on the head also goes out, which is exactly the same as the original one.
I feel colder and colder, and this feeling exacerbates my fear. Even now, I have almost lost control of my body, and my internal organs seem to be under pressure, making me gasp for breath. Finally, I defeated champion Alder with the penultimate Litwick, and when the Volcarona and Litwick fell together, the screen finally went out. Does this fulfill Grek's wish? I prayed, but my body was still very cold, and now the fingers I use to press buttons are also very inflexible. This brief black screen made me spend seconds like years, and finally, the screen lit up again, and Grek appeared at the top of the Celestial Tower.
Even though this is a completely unreasonable ending to the plot, I can't handle so much now. This archive is completely harmful, and I just hope Grek can let me go quickly... I don't know why he is so crazy and obsessed with becoming the champion. In short, he should have fulfilled his wish now, right? Grek seemed to hear my voice and turned his head towards me.
"There is still one left."
One? But logically speaking, I have already completed the championship battle, what else... When I was at a loss, an NPC suddenly appeared in my sight.
Oh, I know him and I've seen him before in Black 2. It's N. N walked over and had a conversation with Grek.
"Don't continue."
And Grek didn't say anything, just a brief '...'
What surprised me was that Grek and N actually entered a battle. Is this the last one Grek mentioned? Although I don't want to fight with N, I have to do it for my freedom. N released a Sigilyph of level 77. Okay, whatever he has, I'll just use Hex. But once again, to my surprise, the Sigilyph successfully used "Grudge" towards the Litwick. Why? It wasn't until a double whammy hit it that I realized it was Zoroark. Due to the effect of resentment, the Power Point of Litwick has also been depleted. I know Grek doesn't have any props to reply to, so the only way to fight now is through 'struggle'. The Litwick at level 20 is not enough to defeat N, and there is no suspense of failure. The Hit Points of Litwick dropped to 0, and at that moment, the game console suddenly shook and the screen went out again. What happened?
The image of the Celestial Tower reappeared a few seconds later, with N disappearing and Grek still standing in place, but he... became very strange, as if something was still floating around. And now I just feel like I'm freezing stiff, and I can't even move my fingers on the buttons. At this moment, Grek suddenly turned around and looked at me, and I noticed that his face was as terrifying as his Litwick, IT'S TOO SCARY. What exactly happened just now? Did Grek do anything to N in the few seconds I couldn't see? And Grek turned around and walked to the bell of the Celestial Tower on his own.
The text box of the game jumps out of Grek's words.
"NO ONE CAN STOP ME."
"Hey, it's really hard for you. I'm glad you finally helped me achieve my wish."
"Now, ring this bell, so that your wishes can also be fulfilled by me for you."
"You can be relieved immediately."
Two options appeared next to them, but both were 'Yes', as if Grek had to make me ring it.
I can't handle so much anymore. If I hesitate any longer, I might be frozen to death by this inexplicable cold. I used all my strength to choose 'Yes'.
Dang - dang - dang -
The bell of the Celestial Tower rang from within the game console, and this moment seemed so beautiful to me. The discomfort that weighed on me was instantly gone, and I had never felt so relaxed before.
EVEN, IT WAS TOO EASY.
PLUMP!!!!!
The Nintendo DS Lite in my hand fell to the ground, along with me.
I can't breathe anymore, and my heart is also silent with the sound of the bell.
My last memory only saw what Grek said on the flickering screen of the game console.
"Actually, I know you're not him."
"Finally, you have fulfilled my wish on his behalf, and I am really, very grateful to you."
"So I should give you this wish."
"Alright, Good night sweet dreams, My dear player."
"My Litwick were very happy to eat you.."
