It's just Pokémon X... right?

Well.. I hope it is.
A while ago, I, being a big fan of the Pokémon franchise, wanted the game "Pokémon X" for the Nintendo 3DS. I had neither of these. So I decided to look onto EBay. This was fine, I scrolled down the results, half-heartedly, seeing that a Pokémon X bundle with a 3DS was a lot more money than I assumed it to be. A LOT. I had hoped for around £100. I was wrong, they were all around £200 or even more. I was beginning to lose hope. But yet, there was one, the game I wanted with the console I wanted.. but it was for only £50. I immediately showed my parents and they agreed, this would be great for a birthday present, as it was my birthday two days later. I was happily pleased with this.

The next day, Sunday, I woke up and checked my Email from the seller. It was curious.

''To the unfortunate buyer, I cannot express my regret for your purchase. I just had to get rid of the cartridge, it was getting too much for me to have. Everything about it is wrong, but one thing is the worst. I wish you the best of luck, Honestly, I do, but be careful. and no matter what you do; DO NOT ENTER THE HALL OF FAME.''

I admit, I was creeped out, but assumed it was simply a troll to discourage my completion of the game. I ignored it for the first part, for fear my parents would decide not to buy it for me. Henceforth, I decided to simply delete the email.. I wish I had not, for now, I have barely any evidence besides my own memory, which, in itself, is fading.

Once more, I woke up. My birthday, a Monday. I sighed out of bed, shrugged on my uniform and unenthusiastically walked to school. When inside, I walked into my formroom, and to my best friend. I looked to him, he had bought the game a while before me, but hadn't spoiled it, as I had asked from him. I told him that I was going to get it soon, and he smiled to me, we conversed about Pokémon for the most part of the day. At the end of the day, I waved goodbye to my friends, and started my walk home. When I entered my home, I took a step into my room, finding the one present I had asked for, plus a few more, I stared at them for a moment, before unwrapping my 3DS, the rest of the presents followed suit, being ripped open and stared at. I decided to try Pokémon X in my new console last, as it was the best, the saying had always seemed to stick with me. However, when I put in The Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of time, the screen only came up with an Error.

..CARTRIDGE;ERROR_Please_Insert_Pokemon_X..
This confused me, the 3DS console was not meant to do this, was it? It surely didn't seem so to me. I checked on Google. Nobody seemed to have experienced this, except one. It was on a forum, I clicked on it, and began to read.

''I recently received a copy of Pokémon X along with a 3DS, and was wondering if anybody experienced the same problem as me? I got other games with it, and every game I tried wouldn't work, it only wanted to accept Pokémon X. This resulted in me putting in the cartridge, as you would expect. But when I did, it didn't boot up straight away. Instead writing appeared on the screen "Johnathon blacked out! He protected himself upon awaking, and rushed home in Leeds to avoid further harm." It took me a moment to register, upon looking at the screen, how it knew my name and location. I hadn't entered it in yet, into the cartridge or the console. Although may have connected to the internet to find the location, the way it knew my name still baffled me. Nonetheless, I continued in my playing of the game, assuming it to be a test of some sort, the name could have been a lucky guess. Although, after the screen finally subsided, a save file was already present, named "H3LL0" I, of course, saw it as a wierd name, yet decided to play, I always enjoyed continuing old games for some reason. I played, my starter seemed to have been picked, it was a Rhyhorn, instead of the original pokémon options there were. I figured it could have been some sort of hack? It was only one pokémon, and it was pretty strong, anyway. It tore through the first few gyms with ease, no problems. A few changes, though, once I had beaten Viola, she had different speech. "Y0u have not quit yet. This is an acheivemen7" and instead of the rollerskates usually received they were iceskates.. wierd. I shut down my game for the night after the first three gyms, It got a little bit too far for my liking. As I got into bed, I heard a loud banging noise. I ignored it and slept.''

''Upon awakening, I realised my new console was on the ground. I turned it on and booted the game once more, seeing the name had changed, to "1 can see y0u." My eyes started to hurt to just look at the screen, I turned away, and turned the 3DS off. I haven't used it since, I will most likely be selling it soon.''

I watched the screen ahead of me with disbelief, could this be the same cartridge? It scared me to think that cartridge had been so... wierd... I walked downstairs to speak to my parents and the news flooded my ears. MAN TRAGICALLY DIES DUE TO CARTRIDGE MALFUNCTION.

I glanced down to the cartridge in my hand, this was going to go on EBay or something, I was NOT going to deal with this...

NOTE
This was my first ever attempt at a creepypasta, I'm a little ashamed at the turn of events I ended it on, but I could always make a sequel if anyone is interested. I hope you enjoyed nonetheless ^^
