The Great Pokemon Conspiracies:
~Missingno.~
...
PROLOGUE
"Two otherwise unrelated Pokémon.
A murder.
The missing link."
The Pokémon world is a world of adventures and dreams. In them, the hero, you, always sets out on an adventure with a trusted Pokémon partner to defeat the Gym Leaders, the Pokémon League, and finally, the Champion. The hero always has a rival who barges in at totally the wrong times and challenges him or her to battle. There is always a criminal gang trying to do something intolerable, but luckily, the hero always interferes and foils their plans. And, along the journey, the hero always learns new lessons and becomes a better person.
That is the Pokémon world everyone knows. Now this story will introduce you to a different side of it. You will see the Pokémon world with new eyes, and what you will see is darker.
Much darker.

Chapter One: Murky Waters
⌣»̶✽«̶ There's this little town on the east of Kanto. It's called Lavender Town, and it claims as the 'town with the purple hue'. Gravelerette complains why it had chosen purple as its color instead of pink. I explained to her that well, Lavender Town wants to be known as a noble town, and purple IS a noble color. Besides, there isn't anything she can do about it, is there?
Lavender Town is small and rather has a sad, dismal air to it. It also has very few people living in it.
The houses there are small and rather insignificant. The only things that stand out are their purple roofs. I guess Lavender Town people ARE really keen on promoting their town as a noble town with a purple hue.
The most significant thing in the town, however, is the tower on the north-east of it. It's old and crumbling, and from the sign near its front door, we can tell that it was a Pokémon cemetery.
LOST TOWER
MAY POKÉMON SPIRITS REST EASY
Gravelerette complained non-stop that she would never go into it, but again, she had no choice for it was the only building in Lavender Town our Trainer Kammy hasn't explored yet. Besides, what could happen to us in a Pokémon cemetery, anyway?
Well, after this particular adventure, I take back my words, for the strangest, weirdest, most supernatural thing happened, which almost got me, sensible Venusaur, scared out of my wits.
Almost.
...
"Hello. Are you a Trainer?" the woman standing next to Kammy in the Pokémon Center line asked.
"Oh, yes, ma'am," Kammy said politely as she handed over the Poké Balls containing her Pokémon to the nurse at the desk to be restored to full health.
"If you're a Trainer, then you must know about Team Rocket," the woman said. Kammy turned to her, for she suddenly sounded flustered.
"Yes, ma'am," replied Kammy. "I have heard of Team Rocket. In Saffron City, they tried to take over Silph Co." She didn't mention that it was her who finally drove Team Rocket out of Saffron City.
In case you didn't know, Team Rocket is this notorious gang of people who likes to steal other people's Pokémon. Kammy has been hot on their trail as well as challenging the Gym Leaders.
"Oh, they've bailed out of Saffron City, maybe," the woman scowled. "But now they've entered Lavender Town instead!"
"Really? What did they do? Did they steal more Pokémon?"
"Oh, worse than that," the woman grumbled. "You see, there's this cute little Cubone - we often see him scampering around Lavender Town."
Kammy nodded.
"... And Cubone's mother was one of the Pokémon the Rockets captured," the woman went on.
"And then?"
"And then, of course Cubone's mother tried to get away from those dreadful people," she said. "But guess what! As she was trying to get away, she was killed! By the Rockets!"

See what I mean? Things aren't going to get more normal from now on. In fact, the more you put your head under these waters, the murkier it gets.
