Line 11:
"The internal battery has run dry. The game can be played. However, clock-based events will no longer occur."
 
Well that's weird…Iweird... I didn't remember that being there before, but I assumed it had been damaged by a console lying on top of it or just misuse. Once I skipped past the text box, I hit continue and I was standing outside of my house in Little Root. The screen was tinted blue as if underwater and all the NPC's were void of color, and moving as if they were swimming or spinning in circles; some even flailing oddly as if panicking. When I attempted to talk to them they all said the same thing.
 
"Glug... gurgle..choke…. choke..."
 
And when my character (Reda) moved more she began to walk slower and slower. Even more discerning was that there was no music, just a continuous loop of the sound it made when you used surf in battle. I went into the other houses to see if it was like this too and of course it was.
Line 27:
"Don't run, because there's nowhere to go."
 
I hit start and checked my bag for an escape rope. When it was clear I didn't have one, the bag closed on its own and went back to the over world. She was now deeper in the water, up to where her nose would be. Bubbles were starting to appear near her head. Wait bubbles…bubbles... was I drowning?! I heard a screech of a Pokémon's cry come out of the speakers. It sounded desperate and weak. Then another text box appeared.
 
"There's nowhere for you to go and no one is here to help you."
Line 33:
My heart stopped. Was the game talking to me? I panicked, tapping the A button furiously in order to make the text go away, not even thinking to turn the stupid game off. Another text box opened.
 
"So…howSo... how's it feel to be abandoned and left to die?"
 
I tried desperately to move. I tapped A to make the box disappear.
 
"Well? I'm waiting…waiting..."
 
Waiting…Waiting... for my reply? My voice squeaked. "I'm scared." The game didn't reply and it was quiet. Another text box appeared.
 
"You abandoned us…us..."
 
Reda started moving on her own in a circle until she sunk lower; as if she had used an escape rope. The only thing visible now was the bandana on her head. Then another text box:
Line 53:
The Pokémon menu appeared. The sprite's animations started frantically, body parts thrashing about before slowing almost to a stop. Flare opened up the 6th Pokémon of the party; A Mightyena, was slumped down, fur clumped together like it was wet. The color had drained from him and he looked bloated almost. His eyes were gray with a red ring around them.
 
The same went for the rest of the team; Gardevoir, Flygon, Rayquaza, Groudon and a Blaziken named Flare, each worse than the last…alllast... all Pokemon that had been sent to Diamond. All pokemon that shouldn't have been there. Flare was my favorite Pokémon through all of Ruby's adventure. But I had traded Flare over to my Diamond…IDiamond... I was sure of it. He was no longer standing but on his knees, a clawed hand grasping his throat. His head was tilted back a little and his mouth was open. He was a bluish-gray, his eyes no longer held the passion they once did, but anguish and fear. His cry was weak and muffled.
 
"What happened to you…you..?"
 
Almost immediately I was returned to the over world.
Line 65:
"Flare: You abandoned us and left us to drown! Don't you remember? "
 
My breath stifled... I got into a pool with the game in my pocket and didn't realize until hours later, but that was so long ago.
 
"Oh my god…god..."
 
My heart was beating out of my chest. "It was an accident Flare, I swear it was!" I cried desperately. I was scared, never once did I ever think about how this had affected the game.
Line 83:
The screen flashed black and white several times and gurgling noises came out of the speakers along with the sound effect for when a Pokémon used surf. Then I was sent back to the over world, where my sprite was lying in the water on her stomach; arms and legs limp. Then the Trainer Card opened and Reda's sprite was like the Pokémon.
 
The colors had drained from her, she looked drenched, clothes and hair stuck to her. She was on her knees, looking up at the sky with blank, cold eyes filled with anguish and fear; one hand clasping her throat; the other clutching the space where her legs were resting. Her mouth was open and soon the camera started to zoom into her. Then she screamed loudly, the speakers threatening to pop. I screamed back at her in fear and then it cut to black. I didn't know whether to throw the game and run away screaming or wait for something else to happen. The battle ended…Iended... I figured it had as the screen stayed black. A text box appeared.
 
"Flare: Do you understand now?"
Line 99:
I stared at the box for a while before thinking back on Flare's final words. "Next Life?" I ran back to the box and picked up diamond. Was this what he meant? I put the game into my DS and skipped to the continue option. I checked my Pokémon; and there in the 1st Pokémon slot was Flare, standing proudly as he always did. I turned the game off immediately.
 
To this day I'm not sure if what happened was real or not. Maybe I had been tired, or maybe I did see it. Not 100% sure. But I do know that that game wanted me to know what I did to it. And I know what I did to it…toit... to them…them... because I have to live with it now…now... for the rest of my life…life...
