Well, here it is, guys and gals! The April Fool's story I promised you! Since I'm no good at coming up with April Fool's jokes, I went to "April Fool Zone" here on the internet to find some good ones. Since I couldn't decide on just one prank, I'll have a couple prepared. Don't be surprised if I do more after April Fool's. Some of these jokes are just too funny!

This prank (and perhaps the rest unless otherwise stated) takes place just after our group exits Mt. Moon. Yes, this means that this is non-canon to our current storyline. This is future!AU (alternate universe, for those that don't know), guys.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or the pranks in this story. They belong to Nintendo and April Fool Zone, respectively. I'm just using them for entertainment purposes.

I hope you like it! Enjoy!

Pokemon: Bloody Red Version

A Creepypasta Story

The April Fool's Collection

Prank 1: Unidentified White Stuff

I sighed, slowly sitting up in bed. From what I could tell, I was still in the dreams because the room I was in wasn't mine. I was in a Pokemon Center…again. I groaned, flopping back onto the mattress. I really wanted to go home.

Curled up on the bed with me were my Pokemon. At least, most of them. Rocket, my Wartortle and starter Pokemon, was resting between me and the edge of the bed. Zapper, my Pikachu, was snoozing between me and the wall of the room. Dune, my Sandshrew (caught due to a glitch since they're not in Red version), was snuggled up beside him. Talon, my Spearow, was perched on the headboard with his head buried in his chest, snoring away.

As for my other two Pokemon (both glitch Pokemon), they slept away from me and my other teammates. Gale, my Pidgeotto (evolved one level early due to a glitch probably based on the LeafGreen/FireRed rival's Pidgeotto's early evolution in Cerulean), was perched on a chair with his head under his wing. Wildfire, my Charmeleon (formerly my rival Rook's before his supposed death), was curled up on the floor with his flaming tail tip close to his snout. He was probably trying to ensure he didn't burn anything down while sleeping. That would be bad…very bad…

Since I had woken up already, my Pokemon (naturally) woke up not long after. Rocket sat up and sleepily rubbed his eyes. Dune rolled over, whining that he needed more sleep. Talon snapped awake, looked around, and then promptly went back to bed. Gale lifted his head, frowning at all the noise I had unintentionally created. Wildfire simply shifted his position and ignored us.

Zapper, on the other hand, was instantly wide awake. "Hey, come on, guys! Time to get up! Move it!" he demanded, jumping up and down in an attempt to get me and Dune up.

"Don't wanna! Wanna sleep!" Dune complained, curling into an even tighter ball.

"Would someone please kill that rodent?" Gale muttered, replacing his head under his wing.

"Zapper, calm down. It's too early to be up." Rocket said, trying to calm the overactive Electric-type.

"Too early? I'm up earlier than this everyday, dude!" Zapper replied. "Come on, man! Get up!"

I slowly dragged myself back up again. Talon, too tired to stay balanced on the headboard, face-planted onto my pillow. Zapper laughed at that.

"Dante's up but Talon's down!" the Pikachu announced.

"Zapper, why don't you check and see if the sun's up. If it is, then we'll get up. If it's not, then we'll go back to sleep. Deal?" Rocket suggested.

"Deal, man! I'm on it!" Zapper cried.

The Pikachu jumped off of the bed, landing on the back of the chair Gale was sleeping on. A quick leap to the desk and the Pikachu had made it to the window. Hopping onto the sill, he peered out excitedly.

I should've known something was up when that smile faded. I could see a bit of sunlight streaming through the window, so that wasn't it. The frown was for something else…but what?

"Um… Guys? You might want to come check this out." Zapper said shakily. "There's something weird going on outside, dude."

"Weird? Like what?" Rocket asked, slipping off the bed and slowly approaching the desk.

"Like…I don't know! There's stuff outside I've never seen before, man!" the Pikachu cried. "It's freaky-looking, man! That ain't natural! I can't be!"

"What isn't natural?" Talon asked sleepily, finally getting up.

"That! Get over here and see!" Zapper barked, fur suddenly rising in fear. "That ain't right, man! It just ain't!"

"I believe 'ain't' isn't a word, rodent," Gale commented.

"Hey, no commentary from the peanut gallery, dude!" Zapper snapped, glaring at the Pidgeotto.

That caused Gale to lift his head. "Peanut gallery?" The bird looked down at Wildfire. "Did he just say that?"

"To you? Yeah," Wildfire muttered, rolling onto his side.

"That includes you too, lizard!" Zapper cried.

"Ignoring~!" the Charmeleon half-sang, half-yawned. He hadn't even bothered opening his eyes since I had first woken up.

Talon, finally shaking himself awake, flapped over to the window to see what had Zapper so freaked out. Barely even glancing out the window caused his feathers to puff out. With a panicked squawk, the Spearow quickly shot over to the bed, snatched up Dune, and nearly threw him at the window. Dune yelped in surprise at being woken up so quickly.

"Look at that! Look at that!" Talon shrieked. "Is that normal here? Is it?"

Dune looked out the window before quickly backing up, eyes wide in shock. "N-N-No! I've never seen that before! What is it?" he cried.

"Rocket, dude! Get up here! Look at this stuff!" Zapper shouted.

"You know what? I'm moving. It's too noisy here suddenly." Gale grumbled.

After the Pidgeotto abandoned the chair in favor of the headboard, Rocket was able to climb up to the desk (using the chair Gale had been sleeping on) and look out the window. He was quick to backpedal as well, horribly confused.

"What is that?" he asked.

"I don't know, man, but that can't be natural!" Zapper replied. "That's too messed up to be natural!"

"Agreed!" Talon nodded, feathers still puffed up.

"Maybe it's normal here? I mean, none of us have been past Mt. Moon before…right?" Dune asked, looking around nervously.

"Right," Rocket agreed. "Maybe Dune's right."

"That still ain't natural, man! I mean, look at it!" Zapper cried. "Does that look natural to you?"

"Well…no," Rocket admitted.

"See? That can't be normal! No way, no how!" Zapper declared. "And whatever it is, it's deadly! Look!"

I glanced at Wildfire and Gale, who seemed entirely unaffected by the panic that had consumed my other four Pokemon. Wildfire hadn't even moved practically! Something was up…and Wildfire had to be involved somehow.

Don't jump to conclusions, I thought. Figure out what's wrong first and then put the blame on Wildfire.

I slowly got up from bed, still tired. Stumbled over to the desk, I looked out it with the expectation that it was nothing serious. I was about to get a nasty dose of reality. It was pretty damn serious.

WHAT THE HELL?

There was snow. On the ground. In Kanto!

Snow wasn't introduced until Gen 4! Yes, there were Ice-types and Ice-type attacks! Yes, there were icy places like the Seafoam Islands and Ice Path! But there wasn't snow on the ground in towns or cities until the Gen 4 games, especially Platinum version!

Yet there it was—a bunch of snow on the ground around the Pokemon Center. It was even freshly fallen since there were no footprints in it yet. But how? There was no snow in Kanto!

That wasn't even the worst part. There were patches of red in the snow! Was that blood? What the heck was going on?

I was quick to join Zapper in the panic frenzy he had created. If I had bothered to look behind me, I'd have noticed that Wildfire had finally gotten up from the floor. Wildfire didn't go to check out the window, however.

He headed for the bedside table and opened a drawer, pulling out a small calendar and a can of fake snow. Gale peered over at him from the headboard, initially confused. When the Charmeleon pointed out a date on the calendar, marked with a huge red X, the Pidgeotto promptly fell on the bed, wings around his stomach as he struggled to hold in his laughter.

"Happy April Fool's Day, Dante," Wildfire chuckled.

Replacing the items in the drawer, Wildfire returned to his spot on the floor and curled up to get some shut-eye. He'd had his fun for the day. Now to see how long it took for Dante to figure out it was all a prank…except for the blood. That was real, of course.
