User blog:Kefke Wren/I think I'm in a creepypasta...

I've never actually finished Pokémon Black, but I still play it from time to time. Eventually, I just hit a stall in the game. I got so far, but from there it took so much grinding to continue, that I lost interest. Still, I play sometimes. A little grinding now and then when I need to pass the time keeps me busy.

Today though, something different happened. For the first time ever, my game didn't start up correctly. Shutting down my DS and reinserting the cart as instructed fixed it, but it's never happened before. That wasn't the only strange thing, either. As I said, I reached an impasse in the game. So, I've been leveling up in the same patch of grass for quite a while. After the game did it's weirdness today, though, I found a new Pokémon. The first battle I got into was against a Shuppet. I've never seen Shuppet in that patch of grass before. I'm not even sure I'd ever run into a Shuppet in Black before.

I caught it, of course. Its name is Ju-on, after a Japanese horror film I remember watching years ago. Was it a glitch? A low encounter rate? Or did I just walk headlong into my own creepypasta story? More on this if it develops.
