Hey guys, welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m your host Lucy McPhee, and we’re jumping
back over to the world of creepypastas today with our list. This time focusing on the beloved
pokemon, Charmander. With our list of the Scariest Charmander Creepypasta - Dying of
the Light -- let’s just jump right in.
To begin we have The Dying of the Light Upload to the creepypasta wiki, this creepypasta
begins with the uploader discussing how many players of the second gen games, we’re attempting
to discover glitches that they could exploit in order to obtain one of the rare and shiny
Pokemon. They weren’t a fan of this tactic -- opting for the classic route of discovery
the rare friends on their own. And that they did, on one particular occasion they came
across a rare Ursaring, naming it Chernobyl -- being inspired by its nuclear-waste green
colouring. They had caught the furry friend after playing for years, and were overjoyed
when they finally did. Wondering how any player could possibly taint such a feeling by punching
in a code to catch one. But -- then the player discovered the art of soft-resetting. It wasn’t
technically cheating -- so they didn’t feel too bad. They also weren’t a huge fan of
their Ursaring, due the stat levels in relation to their other Pokemon. So, while their Ursaring
was resting in a box in Soul Silver -- the player started up their DS, booting up a copy
of Leaf Green that they had borrow from a friend. They named their rival and their own
player -- a boy they dubbed Jace -- despite their own gender. They stood in front of the
table that held the three pokeballs -- moving to the last one and opening it up. It contained
Charmander. Overjoyed -- the Charmander leapt in place on the screen. The player smiled
-- having usually got Squirtle when they were younger. The Charmander was cut -- and they
couldn’t deny how awesome a shiny Charizard would look fronting their team. The player
then inputted a combination -- L R A B start and select. The first combo was pressed, giving
way to countless more afterward. They then began their mission -- hitting the same combinations
of buttons for a few hours -- but to no avail. They continued on like this for days -- so
determined to get the shiny Pokemon they so desired -- but still to no avail. They must
have gone through about 8,000 ordinary Charmanders -- until one morning, something caught their
attention. The orange colour they had become oh so familiar with, was now replaced by a
soft shade of yellow, and a tiny adorable lizard. They saved the game. They did it,
they had finally got a shiny Charizard -- it was a girl, so they opted to name it Tiamat.
The time had finally come to battle Blue and his Squirtle. The players Charizard came out,
her gold back and red flame were momentarily surrounded by a ring of tiny sparkles. The
battle went down pretty quickly, and the player emerged victorious. Their Charizard now at
level 6. They saved the game again -- for good measure.
Creating a new save file so Tiamat could remain safe. Their next battle was against a Pidgey.
However -- this time something was off. The player heard a scratching sound -- the same
scratching sound they had heard in their first battle. Followed by the stats indicator being
lowered. But -- they hadn’t used scratch, neither had the Pidgey. Actually -- neither
of them had used any moves at all. Not only that, but they noticed some HP fell from their
Charizard’s tail. They didn’t have time to think about it too much though, as the
Pidgey suddenly fled -- ending the battle. Following the battle, things appeared to be
normal. Jace was standing amidst the grass -- looking upbeat, music playing...as though
nothing out of the ordinary had just occurred a few moment ago. Concerned, the player opened
the Pokemon menu to check on their Charizard -- feeling particularly uneezy. The Charizard
was there, just as she always had, green eyes shining, donning a grin. However -- the player
noticed something they hadn’t before. The colour at the top of her head looked off.
It was just a single pixel -- but it was there. It looked as though the yellow had been in
the sun and was a little bleached. Shrugging it off, they exited the menu. Playing on and
encountering another wild Pokemon. This time a Rattata (rat-tur-TA). Once again, the sound
of scratching appeared as well as the dropping of stats. The players Charizard dropping HP
a little more too. As this happened the strange bleaching on the top of the head spread a
little. The yellow appeared to not be fading, but disappearing altogether. Being replaced
by pure white. Then the Rattata (rat-tur-TA) fled. The player
didn’t move -- they knew something was wrong. That perhaps this was more than just a glitch.
A thought came to the them -- this wasn’t their game -- and perhaps all of the soft-resetting
they had done must have screwed up the cartridge. Realizing they would have to tell their friend
that they had destroyed their game. However -- their train of thought was interrupted
by the sound of battle music. Another Pidgey appeared -- followed by the players Charizard.
Once again -- the scratching noises blared and the pixels began to disappear. All the
player could do was watch it happen. Then -- as it always did -- a text box appeared
-- stating that the Pokemon had fled. However -- the battle scene didn’t fade away like
it always did. Another Rattata (rat-tur-TA) simply slid into place. The same thing happened
again -- unsettling noises and HP and colour disappeared. Then in quick succession text
boxes appeared, stating, Wild RATTATA fled! Wild PIDGEY appeared! Wild PIDGEY fled! Wild
PIDGEY appeared! Wild PIDGEY fled! Wild RATTATA appeared! Wild RATTATA fled!”
The Charizard’s HP decreasing faster and faster as it went on, her colour draining
like sand in an hourglass -- revealing ghostly white beneath. They tried to restart their
DS but the game seemed to be frozen in this terrifying loop. The player yelled “STOP
IT!” -- and surprisingly, it worked. They stared at the screen, their Charizard’s
health had reached one, her skin the colour of bone -- the field was now empty. Then,
a text box popped up, stating, “Wild Charmander appeared”. It was almost too shiny -- with
a patch of yellow around its stomach. It merged with the first -- becoming a hideous monster.
Charmanders then began appearing in quick succession -- each one merging with the next.
There were even bones sticking out of some of their bodies -- rotting in place. Through
it all, there was just the one HP bar for the mass of broken bodies. Then a phrase began
to be spelled out, “DO YOU WANT ME NOW”. The DS started shaking in the players hands.
They tried desperately to shut off the DS but it wouldn’t stop, the phrase kept appearing
and the Charmander’s kept merging. Then out of nowhere, it all stopped. The hideous
mass just stood there, it’s HP was now 7,597. Then, the players Charizard turned to them,
letting out a low cry. There was rage in her eyes. Her mouth a black void dripping red.
And then text flash below “WANT ME USED REVENGE”. Then a single deafening roar.
The screen then flashed to black. The player ripped the cartridge out -- almost breaking
it in the process. A few days later they bought a new copy of Leaf Green for their friend
-- not telling them what had occurred. And opting to smash the old cartridge so no one
would ever have to play it again.
