Pokemon Tarnished Leaf

I remember the first time I played Pokemon Fire Red. I got it at a yard sale with a Game Boy Advance and Pokemon Ruby. At the time,I didn't think it was very intresting,yet I thought Ruby was awesome. Thinking that, I gave Fire Red to my friend when I was younger. Many years later, I regret that because I found out that Fire Red and Leaf Green were remakes of the original Red,Blue,Yellow,and Green in Japan. Finding that out,I got Leaf Green on Ebay so I can play as Trainer Leaf. You know her right? The only game she was in was Leaf Green. Of course,you can also play as Red,but do to their names and the names of the games,I thought they belonged in their own game. Though,getting Leaf Green wasn't the same as playing Fire Red to play as Red,so during the summer,when I went to my Mom's house,I asked my friend if I can have Fire Red back.

When I asked him,he had it in his pocket all ready,like he knew I would ask for it back. When I asked him about it,he said he was getting rid of it. I thought he was crazy,but glad I got my game back. When I got home,I put the cartridge in my Game Boy and started playing. When I did,my friend all ready had a file on there. I started a new game because I gave it to him when we were younger,so I probably would've been met with a team of Rattata and Pikachu. I started a new game,choose "boy" and named my character Red. After I named my rival Blue,instead of going to Professor Oak asking Red if he's ready for the world of Pokemon,it went to a third person,you know,another rival. When I saw who it was I instantly knew it was Leaf. I read the manga and go to Bulbapedia a lot,so I know all about Leaf. Aparently,she was Red's cousin. I couldn't believe I got to play a game where Leaf is someone other than a silent protagonist.(No offence Red) So I named her Leaf and started my adventure. When I walked out of my house,I noticed a third house in Pallet Town,it was next to Professor Oak's lab. I knew this must've been Leaf's house,but why she didn't live with her cousin if they are in the same town I will never know.

I took only one step and was instantly met with Leaf. I noticed that she had May's theme from Ruby and Sapphire. You know,to think about it,how did my friend get the game like this? Was his brother some sort of hacker? I thought nothing of it, and continued to play. Leaf said that she was excited that Red and her were starting their adventure. After that,I did the thing you were suppose to do and went to the patch of grass above Pallet Town and got my starter and battled Blue and all. After that,instead of delivering Oak's parcel he gave us the Pokedex right away. So I continued through the quest,not only fighting Blue,but Leaf too. Like her encounter theme,she had the Ruby and Sapphire rival battle theme. Everything was fine until I reached the end of Victory Road. That's when things got werid.

When I was about to leave,Leaf appeared at the exit,sorta like how you fight Wally at the end of Victory Road in Ruby and Sapphire. Instead of her being all cheerful and happy,she talked all,gloomy and sad. She said,"Red.....I want a battle....and I'm not taking no for an answer." I was weirded out by this,but continued to play. So I battled her like before,taking out her what was now a Venusaur,oh yeah,I forgot to say,no matter which starter you choose,she would have the one that's not very effective on yours. After that,she said,"..........Meet me at my house in Pallet Town.......Now......" She then walked away. I then went in to the giant Pokecenter that was there before the Elite Four,and then flew to Pallet Town.

When I walked into her house,there was a funeral going on,I looked around the room and didn't find Leaf anywhere.That's when I reliezed  that the funeral was because of.....her.......Apparently,after I fought her,there must've been an accident......I walked up to her coffin and clicked "A" to see if it says anything. That's when a battle began. It showed Leaf,now with a gloomy sprite. All of her Pokemon were white and sorta....laying down....to show that their dead.....after I defeated her,the game said,"You got Leaf!" I was confused,but when I lookied at my key items,it showed a pot....like she was cremated.

After that,I went to the Elite Four,defeated them,and became champion,after my Pokemon were registered,instead of going to the credits,the game showed Red putting the pot in the registration room. It was very sad. After that,I saved and turned the game off. What kind of hack was this? Why did Leaf deserve this? Most importantly,why was my friend freaked out? I might never get these answers,and I hope it stays that way.
