The Strangest Pokemon Blue I've ever seen

I got Pokemon Blue on its release date. It was the happiest day of my life. The first thing I said once I got it was "Excellent." I can recall the following events. I came home, dashed excitedly into my bedroom and found my Gameboy Pocket. I JAMMED the cartridge into its slot. Got a fresh set of batteries and got ready for the afternoon of my life. Upon booting up the game, I created a new file as anyone else would. Usually when you get to the naming section of the starting portion, you would get 3 generic options, instead only 1 was available: "HELP". I couldn't make my own name either. Same thing happened with the rival naming, except the only option was "NOW".

"HELP NOW" I thought. I quickly shook off any prospect of a video game trying to communicate with me. The game started in Cerulean city. I checked my profile, My name, number of badges (0) was all there where it should be. I checked my Pokemon, I noticed that there was 1 Pokemon in my party named "SIR" I decided to check its stats. It appeared to be a Missingno, but with a distinguishable word within the glitchy mess of this Pokemon sprite. It seemed to say "TRAP". Which was certainly correct, because I couldn't leave Cerulean city. I decided to go fight Misty and see what this Pokemon could do in battle. Upon entering the gym, a text box appeared that said "GO...".

I assumed this meant that SIR wanted me to go fight Misty. Upon getting into the battle with Misty, she sent out Staryu. She went first my having her Pokemon use "Bubble". Instead of the usual animation of the move. The screen cut to black. A distorted scream was heard and the screen stayed black. I pressed every button and button combination possible on the Gameboy...Nothing. I turned the gameboy off and back on, but the only option was "NEW GAME". This was the scariest afternoon of my life.
