Eh..? Honestly, this isn't one of the better Poképastas I've read. It's entertaining and intriguing, but just not that great.

To me, it sounds like this 'Green Version' is more of a ROM hack or bootleg game. There is no way that a Pokémon game with killing actually occuring and not being implied or in a backstory somehow would get past Nintendo. There is a Japanese Green that is very different than this, as well as a LeafGreen version that is a remake of the American Blue, which itself was a localization of Japanese Blue, and that was a bug-fix/patch job of sorts for the original Japanese Red and Green Versions. (That's basically a rough summary of the history of these games. If you're interested in more information on this subject, you can go read these: Pokémon Red and Green beta-Bulbapedia

There is death mentioned in a backstory in the actual Pokémon Red and Blue (Red, Green, and Blue in Japan) at Lavender Town, though. But that was only backstory for a subquest in that town and nothing more. In fact, aside from that, the game creator, Satoshi Tajiri, originally intended for Pokémon to not die but just faint, as he didn't want to add even more death to the video game world.

tl;dr: Don't go arguing with an older Pokémon fangirl who's spent way too much time doing her research on the series.

Alas, I can't really bring myself to rate this at this time. I plan to come back later and properly rate this story, though.
