I first said goodbye to Gengar when I realized I could not bring him from RBY; sadly, I left all of my Pokemon behind and graduated to RSE.

Another Ghastly eventually came around and eventually, I had found another Gengar that I cherished and could let lead my teams. Since then, I have made sure to take extra care to bring my dear Shade with me whenever I upgrade generations.

But today is the day I realize I have to say farewell one more time. I've been betrayed. A so called friend of mine has taken my copy of Pokemon before moving out of state. It's too late to trade for him or any of the others back now. She restarted the cartridge, wiping every single Pokemon I had held onto since Emerald.

My new copy of Ruby seems a little more empty now and it seems like starting over won't be so easy this time.

Goodbye, Gengar. Goodnight, my Shade.
