Being a fan of Pokémon games since I was a child I decided to buy a copy of Pokémon Gold for my Gameboy Color. I didn't know why I still had the thing and decided not to let it collect dust. I went on eBay and searched for a copy of Pokémon Gold. I found a copy that was only 10 cents so I decided to buy it. The guy who was selling it apparently lived in my town and on his profile on eBay had his phone number, so I decided to call him and tell him I could pick the game up from his house and pay him. He said "That's fine with me." so the next day I went to his house and knocked on the door the door opened and I saw the man he gave me the copy and demanded the money right away. Once I gave him the money he slammed the door as I just shrugged it off and went to play my new copy of Pokémon Gold, the game cartridge was perfectly fine looking as it was just bought. Once I got home I immediately got my Gameboy Color off the table and popped in the game. When the game started strange noises started coming out of it, it sounded like someone was being killed and once I heard the noises I got suspicious about buying this copy. Me being stupid just continued on to create my character. Instead of the Professor coming up and greeting you the screen that asked you if you were a Boy or a Girl just popped up and I chose Boy of course. I spawned in the middle of New Bark Town and nothing was there except my sprite of my character, my character seemed to be colored in Silver and then out of nowhere my rival Silver popped up and he was colored in Gold. Then out of nowhere it says "Rival Silver has challenged you to a battle!" the only Pokémon I had was Lugia and the only move Lugia had was Sky Attack. My rival had Ho-Oh and the Pokémon looked odd it looked like it had a bunch of scars along with blood on it. Lugia was perfectly fine until I saw the scars and blood Ho-Oh. I looked at Lugia and it too had scars and blood the next thing I know Silver says
"Don't worry Gold soon everyone you love will be gone..."
After that message it showed Gold being brutally murdered by Silver, Ho-Oh, and Lugia. I immediately shut off my Gameboy but it wouldn't turn off so I just closed it. The next thing I know the Gameboy begins to make weird noises again and wouldn't stop. But I didn't know what was about to happen next...
