I've always loved Pokemon. All the games...and I've collected Pokemon cards ever since I was a little girl. My favorite game, out of all of them, was the special Pikachu, Yellow version.
My aunt gave me a Gameboy Advance for my birthday, when I was about 5. With the gameboy, I got 3 games handed down to me from my cousins: Harvest Moon, Tony Hawk, and a Pokemon Yellow version.
First I played Harvest Moon, practically the whole time my relatives came to visit. I loved it, I played it for hours. Finally, I beat the game and I was bored.
I popped the Pokemon Yellow into the cartridge without a thought. The game started up with Professor Oak giving his speech about Pokemon. I named myself ADA and went on. The game progressed completely normally. No glitches, no hacks. Finally, I got the Pikachu you run into when you walk into the grass. When it asked me to name Pikachu, I immediately called the Pikachu ALICE. I've always loved that name.
ALICE and me were always together. Never once did I put ALICE in the PC, and soon ALICE loved me. We beat 4 Gym Leaders, and then I moved to elementary school in the real life.
I lost Pokemon Yellow.
I had forgotten all about that game. Quite frankly, I had lost the Gameboy too. I had a DS now, I didn't care for any of those games. Pokemon Yellow was gone from my life. I was 10 now, and I was obsessed with Pokemon Pearl and Diamond - and all the newer games.
One day my friend Ashley came over. Conveniently, she had brought her Pokemon Diamond game, so we screwed around for a little while, trading and battling. Then we stopped, she started to train her Turtwig and I started to train Piplup.
"Kendylle, what's this?" Out from under the couch she pulled out my old gameboy, covered with cobwebs and Pokemon Yellow was inside of it. "Oh my god. It's your Pokemon Yellow...remember it?"
Somewhere, deep in the corners of my mind, something lit up.
"ALICE is still on there..." I grabbed the game from her, and shut my DS off, turning the Gameboy on.
Everything continued - I forgot I was in Lavender Town. The music slowly started and I started to sweat - the music always made me feel weird. I turned to talk to ALICE.
"..." ALICE silently ignored me. Ashley, watching over my shoulder, seemed to shudder. "I bet she missed you."
"It's just a game, Ashley..." I started to wander around Lavender Town, bored. I turned to talk to ALICE once in a while. It always read the same "..." note.
Only when I entered the Pokemon Center did things start getting weird.
I entered the Pokemon Center. For some reason, I would always speak to ALICE when I entered one.
"ALICE is not hurt. Psychically." Chills went down my spine. I looked up at Ashley, who was absorbed in her Pokemon Diamond.
"Is your Pikachu supposed to tell you if it's hurt?"
"No. Why?"
"Nothing...nevermind.." I turned back to the game. Even though ALICE told me she didn't need to be healed, I healed anyway - I had a Nidoran that needed to be healed.
ALICE stayed behind me. I found that odd. I hadn't played that game in a while, yes, but I was pretty damn sure Pikachu was supposed to be healed no matter what.
"Your Pokemon are fighting fit!" Nurse Joy said happily, as always. "Please come again!"
I left the center and headed for the grass outside Lavender Town, bored. The music from the town resumed, even though I had left the town. A wild Ekans appeared. I forgot if they had appeared originally. Damn me for not playing this game in five years. Damn me. I selected ALICE to use Thunderbolt, an attack that I had always loved.
"ALICE used Loneliness." I froze in my seat, turning back to Ashley, who was also staring at the screen.
"Did you see that!?"
"Y-yeah..."
"What's wrong with your Pikachu?!"
"I don't know!"
"Ekans fainted!" The screen faded, without ALICE gaining EXP points, nothing like that. Ekans fainted and it went back to me. I turned to talk to ALICE.
"ALICE feels betrayed."
"Alice..." Both me and Ashley murmured softly. I didn't understand - but I felt very sorry for it. I was starting to hate myself for forgetting about this game. Stupidly, I ran into the grass again. A Spearow appeared...and ALICE still used Loneliness, making the Spearow faint in one hit. Then an Abra appeared. Primeape(which was odd) next. Lastly, another Ekans.
Ashley gasped behind me.
"Did you see that?!" She let out her breath slowly.
"What?"
"Ekans. Spearow. Abra. Primeape. Ekans. The first letters spell Escape."
"Ashley...that's insane. There wasn't even a C Pokemon."
"You own a Charmand--"
Both of our chatter was broken by ALICE moaning. Both of us gasped and I tried to talk to ALICE.
"ALICE is busy and cannot speak now."
"Kendylle, that game is cursed..." Ashley was now sitting next to me, her Pokemon Diamond game to the side.
"It's not, it's just an odd-"
"Gaaroah!" The sound of my Charmander filled our ears. Both of our breath caught when the text at the bottom of the screen faded in:
"CHARMANDER understood ALICE's pain."
"Escape..." I gulped.
"Woah woah woah! Is that a tombstone next to your sprite!?" I looked at the screen, and next to ADA was a tombstone:
"RIP: Charmander..."
The Lavender Town music played louder now. Uneasy, I went to talk to ALICE.
"ALICE is pleased."
Ashley gulped. Immediately, I ran to the Pokemon Center and went to the PC. I went to ALICE and selected Release. Yes, it hurt me. Very badly. ALICE was my very first Pokemon. Ever.
.:.
Two years had passed, and I was 12 now. Ashley and me hadn't forgotten ALICE. She haunted both of our dreams. Maybe she haunted Ashley as well as me because Ashley was there to witness her release.
Woah, wait. ALICE was a character. Not real. Maybe, a little real.
Too real.
I was at a sleepover party, and all 4 of us girls: Molly, Nicole, Ashley, and me; we were all playing our Heartgold and Soulsilver games. Ashley and me would catch each other's eye sometimes, and we'd smile, remembering ALICE.
That's when the chaos started. The chaos that will haunt me forever.
"Hey, a Pikachu appeared!" Nicole yelled.
"What? That's impossible." Molly looked over at her DS. "Woah!"
Ashley and I both froze.
"ALICE." We both ran over to the DS, and indeed, there was ALICE. She looked horrible, though...she was decaying, and her eyes were bleeding. Horrifying image.
"Nicole, catch it, and send it to Kendylle." Ashley instructed. "We think that's ALICE."
"I think so too..." Molly whispered. "Didn't you release her, though? And how is she in this game?"
Nicole, as directed, captured ALICE with ease and we set up a trade. Ashley sat at Nicole's end of the room, and Molly sat with me.
"Kendylle, ALICE is coming to you."
"Erm...okay." I had an uneasy feeling.
All of us awaited as ALICE was traded to me. As soon as she was, all three girls stared at my screen. ALICE was in my party now, and substituted my Chikorita, who was now in the PC.
I switched Eevee with ALICE, and talked to her.
"ALICE hates you."
All four of us tightened, and we kept talking to her.
"ALICE hates you. ALICE hates you. ALICE..."
The screen froze. I gulped.
"ALICE wants to be released."
"You already have been..." Molly whispered.
"N-no, Molly. She wants to be released."
I was quite aware of what I had to do.
I walked into the grass, regretting each step.
What surprised us all was that the wild Pokemon that attacked us was the Cubone's mother - Marowak.
"Marowak wants ALICE to join her."
I don't know why. I don't understand how, or why. All four of us girls cried. We cried for ALICE. I had never cried harder.
I proceeded in the battle. ALICE didn't bother trying before her HP was down to one - and it was her turn.
I couldn't take it...I couldn't. I will never forget what I did next.
"ALICE, NO!" I screamed, clicking "Run Away." The battle faded.
The game was eerily silent. All the girls stared at the screen.
"You stopped ALICE from being freed."
I was sobbing - I couldn't control it.
"ALICE is suffering because of you."
I watched the screen in dismay. I hated myself.
Suddenly, I realized I could fix it. I dug into my bag and pulled out the Pokemon Yellow and Gameboy Advance.
"We can't connect it, Kendylle...they're two--"
"Pi-ka!" I turned to my DS. ALICE disappeared, and I looked at my Gameboy. We were in front of Pokemon Tower.
Regretting every step, I stepped into the tower.
ALICE wants to be set free, ADA. Proceed?
Y/N.
I clicked Y, unable to control the tears.
"ALICE has been set free."
All four of us hugged and screamed out our tears. We must have cried for an hour - I forgot the Gameboy was turned on.
"Pi-ka-chu." All four of us glanced at it, and saw ALICE's last, sad smile, with a heart floating above her head, as the Gameboy shut off and all data was lost.
