Line 1:
As it goes, there is a story of a young boy and his older brother, who resided in the suburbs of Las Vegas, late 2003.
The younger brother, who we will call Todd, happened to spot his older brother, who we’ll call James, playing Pokémon Yellow one night. Todd had always been intrigued by Pokémon, though never getting into it himself. He was more a fan of Dragon Ball Z and rarely paid notice to anything Pokémon related. Though this particular time, Todd spotted his brother playing, while in Lavender Town. James could recall the strange glazed over look on his younger brother’s face, as he healed his Pokémon. He asked if he was tired, and Todd simply frowned at the game and asked, "Why is the music like that?
James replied that it was the theme for that particular town, and it was meant to sound eerie. Todd complained that the music was too high-pitched and "
It was obviously the famed "Lavender Town Syndrome.
James ignored his brother and continued playing, telling him it was "just the way the game
There was a small detail while saving, that James had only sub-consciously noticed.
Line 18:
Around 10:13 PM, he was just finishing his shower and getting ready for bed, when he heard a loud crash downstairs. He heard his Dad yelling in a scolding tone and knew Todd had probably broken something. He was on his way down when he heard the following conversation:
Father: "What the hell did you throw it for?
Todd: "I didn’t throw it, I just set it d-"
Father: "-How the hell does it end up putting a chip in my wall if you just set it down? God damnit, boy. I’m not an idiot. Isn’t that your brother's game?
Todd: "Yes, I was only looking at it though.
Father: "You’d better hope it’s not broken.
Todd: "It’s not- Ow!
James heard the Lavender town theme blare loudly. Much louder than it was possible for a gameboy to play.
Father: "Jesus that thing is
Todd: "Yeah! I don’t-"
Line 38:
James heard a small yelp come from Todd.
Father: "Is James asleep?
Todd: "Dad, look!
Father: "That’s an ugly looking…Is that the Pokemon game?
Todd: "Yeah, it’s Pikachu’s face!
James finally rushed down the stairs with his towel around his waist.
Todd turned to James, his expression sincere. "I didn’t play it, I just wanted to see what Pokemon you had.
"You threw the damn thing, too.
"Look at this,
James looked down at the screen.
Line 62:
It was the scariest thing James had ever seen in a Pokémon game.
"That’s freakin creepy.
"I didn’t throw it, either.
"Then you pushed it with your hand, dummy.
His Dad told the two not to stay up too late, and went to his bedroom. After a few hours of watching TV, it was past midnight, and James began to get tired.
Line 84:
The Lavender Town theme began to play softly.
"What the he-
The room suddenly erupted with sound
"IT’S COMING FOR YOU!!!
His curtains behind him began to flutter wildly as if the windows were open. Spinning around, he looked down to find his brother still laying in his bed, facing away from him, somehow sleeping through the entire phenomenon.
