Read description for more information:
Glitch Pokédex Mode 09 arbitrary code execution in English Pokémon Crystal (and theoretically glitch modes for other versions) may be used to escape from a link room.

One of the easiest ways to set this up is with unterminated name Pokémon arbitrary code execution pointing to box names, which is featured in the video link below.

We can do this glitch by setting memory address C2DC to 0 (not in link battle) and D84D to 0x97 (in Bug-Catching Contest), after which quitting the contest will return you to the Bug-Catching Contest. When the player character is Kris, her sprite is temporarily changed to that of Ethan, however escaping the Cable Club/Time Capsule allows us to keep the player as Ethan.

However, this effect will not be kept after saving and resetting the game. Ethan will become a red Kris until you fly away, which makes her revert back to her blue colour.

Codes to use in order:

First you must prepare the special Lapras and Antidote x21 from the video above. This requires a Generation I game to trade with and two Generation II games to get the Lapras on a new Crystal save file.

1. Get TM17 in items pocket slot 1 with bootstrap code (from DA47 to box names) (initial bad clone ACE):

p0'déT2(Pk character)5
p'vzéM5p5
'vd'v(éA45
p'vyé:5p5
'vLéB4p'vx
ém5p0555
éI4x'd

2. Redirect Pokédex Mode 09 (FA20) to box names  (Code for TM17)

éK5'v?éJ5
péAA0(multiply x)'ve (the e at the end is not a typo, it's the e with no accent)
é(5p0X55
éA2x'd
