[ WP ] You 're the last person on earth - but thank god Pokemon Go still functions ! You amuse yourself by catching Pokemon as you travel so as to not feel so isolated and alone . One day , on your screen , you see in the distance that someone has set up a lure .

**Day 365** 
 
 A whole year since everybody on this planet disappeared. Everybody... except me, that is. At first I thought I was in a dream, everything was just so surreal. I was happily catching my eighth Pidgey for the day when everything turned silent, as if the world had decided to shut down. Out of everything that could have caused this `` glitch in the matrix'', it just had to be Pokemon Go. The part that really sucks is there were n't even any real Pokemon to catch. Whoever, or whatever did this to me clearly did n't want to entertain my childhood fantasy of living in a Pokemon universe. Those assholes. 
 
 I still spend my days catching Pokemon. It's all I really do nowadays. Eat, sleep, and catching them all. Except I've actually already caught all of the Pokemon available in Australia. I've got at least 5 copies of even the rarest ones. Once you get to know where they spawn it really is n't hard to find them. I wish Niantic had n't made so many Pokemon region-specific. Still, I could n't justify learning to fly a plane or captain a ship just to catch some imaginary region-locked Pokemon so I can show them off to the zero other humans left on this planet. Either way, I am without a doubt, the greatest Pokemon trainer on this planet. Ha. Ha. 
 
 **Day 847** 
 
 *What is going on? * I looked at my Pokemon Go screen with more excitement than I'd felt in months. *This can not be real. * Yet the animation was there. I struggled to recall if I'd set that one up myself within the last 30 minutes. No, definitely not, I had run out of lures many months ago. I do n't even remember the last time I set one up. A sudden wave of panic and fear swept over me. *Could there be someone else out there? Was my reality about to be `` reconnected'' with the realities of the other 7.4 billion or so people that had just suddenly vanished? * I suddenly felt the need to sprint towards the location of the Pokestop. I *had* to get there before the lure runs out. I closed in on my target. My heart was thudding intensely. I had n't felt this level of anticipation since I saw my first ever Dragonite. I walked up to the Pokestop - **SOUTHERN CROSS STATION** - one of favourite train stations. I used to catch this train to work all the time back when I still had a job. But something was n't quite right... the station sign had something beneath it. I leaned in closer, there was a small piece of paper glued to the bottom of the sign. My heart rate must have doubled as I reached out to grab the piece of paper. The words written on it were in an instantly recognizable font, identical to the Pokemon Go font I'd read a million times on the loading screen. The words read: `` NIANTIC: Augmented Reality Simulation # 1: Complete.''
