Pokemon Fire Red on VBA won't save?

Question

When I go to save my game it'll start out like normal, but after it says "Saving, don't turn off the power", then it says "Save error. Please exchange the backup memory." There is no backup memory...it's a new game and I just started out.

Help please?
