(hex:73) is a glitch item in Pokémon Red and Blue.
Its name is taken from mojibake of Pokémon Red/Green's untranslated "マスター" (Master) string. "マスター" (Master) is also the hex:73 glitch item in Japanese versions.
Using it both in and outside of battle causes a glitch text box to appear that cannot be exited, and eventually crashes the game.
This is because the item calls function 00:3c49
(PrintText) with the address $3c49 in hl, which interprets the PrintText function itself as text commands.
After 1 or 2 sound commands, this eventually runs into the command text_ram $25ea
, which prints $25ea to $2649 to the textbox ($c4b9 internally).
After some more sound commands it then reaches command text_ram $c4b9
, which prints text from $c4b9 into the textbox starting from $c4ed (where the other command stopped printing) until it finds a terminator, which was never printed. This causes an infinite copy that overwrites memory and causes the crash.
