Amber

This all happened about a week ago. Everything was 100% normal, it was just another typical Sunday evening. I got bored, so I took a little drive. On my way through the city, I saw a small yardsale with nobody there besides the girl running it. She looked bored, so I figured Id stop by. The girl at the table looked about 20 something and seemed nice enough, so I asked her if she had any video games for sale. She pulled out a 3DS catridge, it was Pokemon X. I was excited, since I wanted the game but it was just too expensive for a broke college kid on a ramen noodle diet. I asked her how much she wanted, and she only asked for $15. A great deal. I excitedly took off back to my house to play my new game.

There was a save file named Amber with 8 badges and a complete Pokedex. But when I checked the file, there was only one Pokemon on the entire save, a Lv. 70 Mewtwo named Amber. But the strange thing was, its tail and eyes were red. I knew it was off because Mewtwo’s shiny form has a green tail. When I looked at this Mewtwo, something just didn’t feel right either… It’s almost like I could feel another person’s presence in the room, but I was home alone. I shook it off and decided to use this mysterious Pokemon.



As I was walking around, I noticed that every so often I would hear a distorted Mewtwo cry. It was faint, but I noticed every time, and it was starting to make me feel uneasy. When I used Mewtwo in battle, it seemed to one hit KO everything. I even wifi battled on of my friends, and I killed his Lv. 100 Diancie in one hit with Aura Sphere. Soon I noticed that some NPCs would say weird things related to the Mewtwo. Things like feeling a dark presence inside of it, that it seemed sinister, just things like that. One even went as far to say that it had Hell inside it. Now I was really starting to get creeped out.

Soon, things got even worse. Out of nowhere, a random text box appeared that said, “Please… Let me out…” I stared at the screen for a moment, completely frozen. I was so confused, I had no idea what this could mean. After a few more steps, another text box appeared. “She betrayed me…” Who betrayed who? I thought this may be an in game event, since Id never played this game before. But I knew Pokemon would never be this dark… Right?

The next text box was even more chilling. “She must pay… She must pay…” With every new text box, I was getting more and more frightened. For whatever reason, I spoke out loud “Who are you?” Unfortunately, I actually got a response. The next text box said “Amber.” I nearly jumped out of my seat. The fucking game just talked to me! At this point, I turned off my system and decided to sleep on it.

That night, I had an insane dream that I will never forget. I saw a woman that had a striking resemblance to the woman who sold me the game, only she looked a bit older, and had beautiful black hair with red streaks in it. She said, “Release me… Please.” “Who are you?” I responded. “Amber.” “Are you the one haunting my game?” “Not haunting… Just trapped.” “Trapped?” “Just release me… release me… So I can have my revenge…”

I snapped awake after that, drenched in my sweat and shaking like a leaf. I immediately grabbed my 3DS and turned it on. The words “Release me…” keep reverberating in my head. So I did just that. I went in the PC box, and released Amber. After that, I simply turned off my game and went back to bed. As I was drifting off to sleep, I swear I heard a faint whisper… “Revenge… Revenge…”

I woke up the next morning, and immediately noticed my 3DS was open, when I knew for certain I shut it before I went to bed. I shook it off and went into my living room and turned on the TV. I saw a news report that a woman about 20 something was murdered in the middle of the night. She had several stab wounds, and across her chest written in blood… “Amber”
