Line 31:
At this point two policemen walked into frame and the Joy from the Center came outside. Apparently she had called them. One of the policemen walked up to my sprite, and Joy and the other walked to Cole's other side. They appeared to be talking to both of us for about a minute, though no text box popped up, and then Joy and the other policeman led Cole away. My Policeman also led me to the edge of the screen, but my sprite stopped just there and turned back to look at the fallen Feraligatr sprite for a moment before turning and walking off screen. The screen stayed focused on the sprite for a moment more, then turned black.
 
When the loading screen ended, I was in my room and at the top of the screen was a text box with the words "TWO YEARS LATER…LATER..." As it disappeared I found I was finally in control. At this point, I was both freaked out and intrigued at how dark this hack was, and that was only the first few minutes. Ready to start playing the game proper, I walked down stairs to see what awaited me there.
 
The typical scene with my mother started up, but rather than ask about the day and tell me how to use the phone, she simply gave me my Pokégear, told me Prof. Elm was looking for me, and told me to take care. I walked out of the house and checked out some of the other houses in town. Instead of the usual tutorial stuff, many of them asked after my health and how I was holding up. I headed over to Elm's Lab to get my Pokémon. Instead of starting with the pretense of writing a paper about the bonds of Pokémon and trainer, Elm offered me condolences.
Line 49:
Cole walked up the moment I entered as usual.
 
COLE: So you're collecting the Kanto gym badges. I know where you're going. And I know why. But I'm not going to stop you. I want you there. There…ThereThere...There you will finally pay for what you've done to me!
 
And after the battle;
Line 69:
He took a step forward.
 
COLE: It's unforgivable! ODAIRU! My ODAIRU died protecting you! And when I asked you to get help for him, when I asked you to try to save him, you were still only concerned with your own safety! You told me to run away like you and just leave him laying there! Someone like you doesn't deserve to have Pokémon. So I'm going to punish you, I'm going to make you pay for taking ODAIRU's life. But no, I shouldn't say that I will be the one to punish you. Better that the one who took the hit return the blow. ODAIRU will do it himself, and then he'll be with me again. Forever…Forever...
 
Wait, what? When he said he was going to punish me, I figured he meant he'd use his new Feraligatr to kill all of my Pokémon like I killed his. But the Feraligatr he had didn't have a nickname, it wasn't even named ODAIRU as some sort of replacement. What was he talking about? Another text box popped up.
Line 81:
There was a garbled screeching sound that nearly made me drop my SP, and a second sprite joined the first one. It was a simple, pixelated brown square. I shuddered. No way! They didn't exist in the second generation! But I had no doubt that the creator of this game would be able to find a way to bring it here. The square moved in front of the Feraligatr sprite and slammed into it, pushing it onto the space with the tombstone. There was a second piercing screech, and then there was only one sprite. A slightly pixelated Rhydon-like one.
 
COLE: ODAIRU…GetODAIRU...Get rid of her.
 
The Rhydon sprite approached me, and a battle started. The thing that was my opponent was grotesque. Instead of the Crystal sprite, it was the silver version sprite with no eyes, no white markings, and there were patches of glitch pixels all over it. It looked half melted, there were no ridges to it, and its cry was a screechy garbled version of a normal Feraligatr cry. It was level 100 and its name was OD@!?U.
Line 89:
The battle screen faded. My sprite lay on the ground. I tried to move, pressing all buttons, but nothing happened. The glitchy Rhydon sprite stood in front of me and Cole walked up to stand beside it.
 
COLE: Goodbye…MyGoodbye...My friend. Let's go ODAIRU.
 
The garbled Feraligatr cry sounded again, and the two walked off screen.
