Chapter 1: ERROR
I slammed the bedroom door for the umpteenth time that day and curled into a ball next to the radiator. What was wrong with everyone today? I had a mini-fight with my brother and ended up taking all the blame and having to apologise to him afterwards, and when I refused (he punched me first), I was sent to my room and told to come back down when I had "rethought my attitude".
I felt like screaming at everything.
To try to calm my frayed nerves, I decided to play on FireRed for a while. I had just hatched a baby Mudkip on Sapphire and traded it over, and I really wanted to see how much damage a Lv. 5 Mudkip with Waterfall, Surf and Ice Beam could do. Smiling to myself, I turned on the GBA, plugged in my headphones and skipped to the title screen.
As soon as I pressed the Start button, I knew something was wrong. The screen suddenly turned a dark shade of blue and the word "ERROR" flashed in red. I heard a strange popping noise, and as my bedroom dissolved in a technicolor swirl the last thought I had was "What the hell's going on???"
