History Fanfic / PokemonBlack

* NothingIsScarier: During the final segment, Kanto is completely empty. No wild Pokémon appear, and all the [=NPCs=] are gone, leaving Red completely isolated.

* PromotedToPlayable: Ghost becomes a playable Pokémon that is automatically given at the beginning of the game. It's not specified if it has a Pokédex entry though. The ROM hack doesn't give it one.

* {{Timeskip}}: After defeating Blue for the final time, the game skips ahead several years. Red is now a senior.

* GenderNeutralWriting: The narrator is never gendered.

* NoSell: Ghost-types are the only Pokémon immune to Curse.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: If the player goes through the whole game without ever using Curse on a single opponent, Ghost will still kill them in the end.

* FinalDeath: After Ghost kills the player character, the save file is erased.

The story goes that alongside the usual starter, the storyteller got a "ghost" Pokémon that they could never switch out of their party. No opponents were capable of attacking it, and its only move, a bizarre variant of "Curse", was almost always a OneHitKO. If they fought a trainer, each curse caused the ball containing the opponent's mon to disappear from their roster. Once they lost all their Pokémon, they could curse the trainer directly; killing them and replacing their overworld sprite with an InstantGravestone. After beating the Elite Four, the player got a FlashForward to their character as an old man, recalling every Pokémon and trainer they cursed, at which point their ghost [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters finally turns on them]] and subjects the player to a HopelessBossFight. When their HP hit zero, it cursed them and the screen turned to black and did not change. Upon resetting the game, the protagonist discovers that their save file was erased.

** The Curse move cannot be used on trainers that have to be challenged again, such as the Rival or Giovanni, except on the final battles against them.
