Chapter 2- A Random Missingno
"What kind of name is Missingno?" Cassandra raises an eyebrow.
"Not a random one, I can tell you that. Or is it? What were the programmers thinking? Doesn't matter. It's nice to meet you, Cassandra."
"How do you know my name?" Cassandra backs away.
"I just read it in the narrations." Missingno looks at the empty space next to him and talks to the narrator. "Thanks, bro."
You're welcome.
"What?"
"Nothing. Right now, I need a small favor."
"What do you want?"
"I need you to drop your entire life and travel with me on my MUCH more important mission."
"Um… No." Cassandra walks away, but doesn't go more than 5 feet when a giant Lapras appears on the horizon. She turns back to Missingno. "Do you know what is going on?"
"Glitches."
"... I'm going to need a little more than that."
"Alright, are you ready for the entire world building backstory? In the beginning, there was a pokemon named…"
Missingno, you probably shouldn't reveal everything at once. Readers like to learn a little at a time.
"That's true. Alright, smaller story." Cassandra raises an eyebrow again as Missingno finishes talking to thin air. "I am a glitch. And all across Kanto, glitches are appearing left and right. But the only thing that can kill a glitch is another glitch. So, I must go on an epic heroic journey to right the many wrongs!"
"Good luck with that."
"Wait, don't leave!" Missingno rides up on his vacuum.
Cassandra knits her eyebrows. "You can do that whole hero thing yourself, right?"
"Yeah, but it's not as much fun without a foil character."
Cassandra walks faster.
She looks to her left to see Missingno still following on the vacuum, but he is now riding upside down, floating in the air.
"How are you doing that?"
Missingno shrugs. "I do what I want."
"And when those two blew up, was that you too?"
"You bet!"
She points at the giant Lapras.
Missingno's gaze shifts to the right. "Maybe."
Cassandra sighs, and Missingno gets off the vacuum. "Cassandra, this isn't a simple matter. I'm the only glitch left who can fight off these others. You've seen what they are like. And… Uh… oh, I'm both a glitch and a pokemon, so I can't do anything without a trainer."
"Then find someone else."
"Every moment I waste is another person in danger of death, or worse." His face scrunches up and ruffles his short hair. "I'll tell you what, when I find someone else, you can leave. But until then, I need your help. Also, I need you to hold this chicken." He holds up a Pidgey.
Cassandra relaxes. "Fine. I give up."
"So you'll hold the alligator?"
"No, I will not hold the Pidgey. What even is an alligator?"
"Sorry Joe, she said no."
"That's okay." The Pidgey takes off.
"Now then, ONWARD."
Cassandra shakes her head, feeling like she will regret this decision.
"She probably will."
And she hasn't even figured out all the things that will happen next chapter.
"Yeah, but that won't be posted for a whole week, so it can wait until then."
