A novelization of the final moments of my original ds lite's life.
1: The End
It happened during one of our daily rotation battles.
"Roc, use pluck!" Season, my serperior, hastily retreated while my archeops rushed forward, hoping to catch my opponent's simisage before it could rotate out.
Before he could get there however, everything flickered many shades of red and white, like someone was messing around with the color balance on a computer screen. Roc stopped attacking to look around nervously with everyone else in the room. It had been like this for days; everything had more red in it than it should, sometimes flickering to varying levels of red wrongness.
But the white was new.
With renewed urgency, we kept on battling. The Ace Trainer's simisage had enough time to retreat behind her simipour due to Roc's hesitation. I heard a cry of "Simipour, watergun!"
I could only gasp as my archeops was driven back by Watergun's sheer force. I needed to get him out of there. Against a water type, he and Soulsucker (still a lampent) would be helpless, so I shouted, "Season, giga drain!"
My starter was readying to follow my command when the flickering grew more violent, like the universe was trying to give me a seizure. I couldn't see a trace of any other color now, like I had been able to see before. Now it was all shades of red and white. I began to grow worried; what was causing this? Whatever it was seemed to be reaching an ultimatum.
The world winked out of existence for a split second.
Panicking, I saw the trainer reaching for her pokeballs at the same time I did. "Season! Roc! Soulsucker! Retur—"
The world went black.
A/N: I wrote this in middle school, but it has held up surprisingly well over the years if you ignore the length. I'll try to figure out which photoshop filters I used to get the same effect as the game was having in its final moments. It looked pretty interesting. (I didn't have a smartphone at the time, so I couldn't get a picture)
