Chapter 6- A Random Morning

Cassandra wakes up, and half hopes that the lunatic from yesterday never existed, or at least was no longer outside. She zipped open the tent and pops her head out to look. Missingno is lying on the ground, wrapped in a quilt made of patched together potato chip bags.

"... What are you doing?"

He speaks in a high pitched voice. "I sleep in these wrappers and I wrap myself up like a little old homeless lady."

"I… have no idea what you are saying."

He flings it off, ready for the day. "That's okay! Let's go!"

"... No." She returns to her tent.

She reappears again after a while, this time dressed and ready. Missingno is still standing in the exact same place and pose as before. She sighs and shakes her head. "Come on, Weedy."

After eating breakfast, taking care of the coals from last night, braiding her hair, and packing up, Cassandra picks up her bag and motions to Weedy. "Let's go."

Missingno finally moves from the frozen position. "Alright!"

Cassandra sighs as they continue on Route 2. Missingno cartwheels alongside, laughing hysterically. They walk by a certain scraggy looking tree that has plenty of space to pass by on either side.

"And yet, they say you can't pass by without Cut."

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

Cassandra raises an eyebrow, but her attention quickly changes as she notices the giant figure in the background. To the east, a massive Diglett stares back at her.

"... DIGLETT!"

She shakes her head and quickens her step.

Pretty soon they reach the entrance to Viridian Forest. There, they find a massive amount of people running and screaming.

Cassandra stops a woman running with her baby. "What is happening?"

"A monster! A monster is destroying the forest!"

Cassandra glares at Missingno.

"Not me. This time."

The woman screams and points at the entrance to Viridian Forest, where a tree flies through the air. Her hand is trembling, and her eyes are almost open too wide.

"Should I try less, then?" The woman asks.

"What?" Cassandra raises an eyebrow at her.

"Nothing Cassandra." The woman turns to leave, and does a double take. "I mean, young random girl I have never met before..."

The woman screams again and runs away, her black and white checkered dress billowing with each panicked step. Cassandra, on the other hand, turns to the entrance and takes a deep breath. Inside could be anything imaginable. And with Missingno, the unimaginable is viable as well.

She prepares herself, and opens the doors. What she sees is… almost unreasonable? It is hard to tell after a few hours with Missingno.

The monster resides in the shade as it rips out a tree and uses it to beat another tree. It roars with the fierceness that comes from a lifetime of pain. It locks eyes with Cassandra, and walks into the light. Its tough, purple skin accented the multiple long spikes along its body. It is a Nidoking.

… A level 1 Nidoking.

Cassandra scrunches her face, trying to both comprehend and ignore it. She turns to Missingno.

"Hey! I said it wasn't me!"

"Okay, but are you going to do something about it?"

"Oh, right. Go Weedy!"

"Why are you using MY pokemon?!"

"... Because my pokemon are all at 1 health."

"What pokemon?"

"Weedy, use Poison Sting!"

Weedy poured power into the tip of his horn. He felt the power shift into a poison element and form into a cone. He arches back and takes aim at his opponent's heart.

Wild Nidoking used Thrash!

Weedy fainted!
