Hey, pal.
It's me, your friend Gengar.
I only wanted to tell you that, while you're reading this, I'm watching you. Don't lose time trying to look around, you won't see me. Remember, I'm a ghost, and so I'm watching you from the darkness. Relax, just keep reading what I'm about to tell you. It's my story, about how I ended up here, in this forest, and how I became this, what I am today. Reason is pretty simple and I'll let you know right away: Us, Ghost-type Pokémon I mean, are nothing but the spirits of those trapped in this world after death. Pretty chilling, right?
In life, I was once a scientist who studied all kinds of Pokémon. One day however, I was captured by some thugs from a criminal organization you may or may not have heard about, those pesky Team Rocket. They wanted me to tell them where we kept the fossils from prehistoric Pokémon we used to find on Mount Moon. I wasn't about to spill anything about our research though, and so they tied me to a tree. I thought they would begin to torture me, but they only spread lots of honey over my body. But after a few moments, some wild Bug-type Pokémon started to come over the tree, no doubt smelling the honey spread on me. As they surrounded me, I began screaming, though more so internally, as they had me gagged. One of the Rocket grunts laughed and said, "Be quiet, you'll scare the bugs."
Then, the Pokémon jumped at me and began eating me while I was still alive, much to my utter horror and suffering. I could feel their small claws and mandibles tearing up my flesh. They devoured me bit by bit, but it wasn't as bad as you may think. Once you lost consciousness and your soul begins to leave your body, everything is calm and easier. But the shock at seeing your own body being eaten by Pokémon is something indescribable. Though I admit that now I'm a ghost, everything seems funnier.
I'm still not sure why I was reincarnated as a Gengar, but I don't care about that now. I can have my fun and do whatever I want now, as I'm the strongest in this forest. No one can even touch me. It's so funny to see trainers trying to catch me, they're all so weak, and so I easily put them and their Pokémon to sleep, so I can then devour their dreams. The last thing they hear in their sleep is me saying, "Be quiet, you'll scare the bugs."
What I enjoy the most is seeing them sleep peacefully, smiling even, as the bug Pokémon began to eat them like they did with me. They can't even feel a thing, as they're under my Hypnosis. I always wonder, what do they dream about? Probably some stupid dream about catching me, and possibly winning the Pokémon League or something pathetic like that. How funny. I love it. I love putting them under my spell and eating their dreams, and the more dreams I eat, the stronger I become.
In fact, I now have learned how to spell people who are far away. The only thing I need is for them to think of me for some time until I can enter their mind, like you did right now. See, that's why I told you I'm watching you, my friend. You better be ready for a scary experience when you go to sleep tonight, because I'll be there, waiting to take you to the darkest and most terrible corner of your dreams. Oh how much fun we're going to have, I can't wait for you to fall asleep!
Sincerely, your friend Gengar.
