[(It all started because he just wanted that stupid music to get out of his head.)

If you're one of the unfortunates to be lost in the more distorted streets of Silent Hills, you will eventually come across a block where the streets and sidewalks are absolutely covered in scribbles made out of chalk. At first, the empty streets are largely dominated by music. Whoever drew them took great care in keeping their lines neat, clean, and precise. However, the music is abruptly cut-off mid phrase and is abandoned for something else.

In the exact middle of the street, a single line is drawn -- separating simple maps of Johto and Kanto drawn in white chalk. There is a path traced throughout these maps, starting from New Bark Town. Certain areas are marked with either a large X (Cherrygrove City, Azalea Town, and Goldenrod City, to name a few) or O (Sprout Tower, Olivine City, Mahogany Town. These markings are accompanied by little notes, which read along the lines of DAY 1, 4:00 - 5:00 PM. (lvl 5)

By themselves, these notes don't particularly make a great deal of sense. However, if your attention were to drift to the sidewalks, it would.

- Receives report of missing Pokémon.
- Stop for the night.

This meticulous timeline lasts for exactly 365 days, before it ends with a single, ominous word: R E S E T. The handwriting of the timeline, while it starts out neat enough gradually descends into a harsh, manic scrawl.

This scrawl continues onto the walls of the buildings, which are just an endless repeating stream of an increasingly unstable and jittery:

CHERRYGROVE CITY. we lose. AZALEA TOWN. we lose. BURNED TOWER. we lose. VICTORY ROAD. we lose. MT. MOOON. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose. INDIGO PLATEAU. we lose.

Finally, back on the street, there is a meticulous list of Pokémon. They are all member of the Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita lines. Unlike the timeline and the apparent record of losses, great care was taken in writing this list. When the letters begin to waver and become jittery, the author took the time to step aside and get that out by scrawling out the exact time until their writing became calm again.

At the end of this list you'll find a surprisingly young boy crouching over the writing, clutching a piece of chalk in his hand. He's recognizable as a thin, ragged looking Silver who can't be a day over eleven years old. Other than looking incredibly tired and a set of odd scratches on his cheek, he's physically unharmed. But that's probably because he fits in very well with Silent Hills, with his flickering outline and distorted voice.]

Typhlosion. Male. Mild nature, alert to sounds. We made it to the end. [He bites his lip,hard, as he stares down at the letters. It's as if he can't even see what he wrote.] I... remember. I remember, everything.

[For a moment he smiles dreamily, pleased with his work. But then he abruptly shakes his head, frowning. No. He can't stop now. He isn't finished. There's still rockon_rokon he has to remember, without fail.

He promised he would, after all.]
