Chapter 7- A Random Smash
The Nidoking lay on the ground, convulsing wildly.
Cassandra and Missingno watch in silence. Missingno finally breaks it. "... I think he is having a seizure."
"So, what do we do?"
"... Wait for him to stop, I guess."
After a couple minutes, the Nidoking stops and gets up. Underneath it, crushed into the dirt, is Weedy.
"NO! STEVEN!"
"Weedy."
"WEEDY! Don't worry, I will fix you!" Missingno reaches into Cassandra's bag and pulls out a yellow crystal.
"What is that?"
"This is called a Revive. It can be used to-"
Cassandra cuts him off. "I know what it is, but what was it doing in my bag?" Her stare stabs at him.
"I put it there." He countered with a blank stare.
Still staring at Cassandra, he throws the Revive at Weedy.
Weedy was revived!
"Ha, joke's on you. Now he has TWO horns." Missingno lifted his chin and smiled.
Wild Nidoking used Thrash!
Weedy fainted!
When the Nidoking stops convulsing and gets up, Missingno throws another Revive.
Weedy was revived!
"Time to put my ultimate plan into action. Weedy, use String-"
Wild Nidoking used Thrash!
Weedy fainted!
Missingno purses his lips till they are blue. He shakes violently, raises his fists and clenches them, and some massive veins pop out of his head. Let's just say he is not happy.
"No, I am not." Missingno prepares to throw another revive, but Cassandra grabs his arm.
"Will you stop torturing my pokemon?" Although it was phrased as a question, the fire in her eyes spoke otherwise.
"... Sorry." He picks up Weedy and uses the Revive on him. He then hands him to Cassandra.
"Thanks. So what will you do now?" Cassandra watches Weedy crawl up her arm and rest on her shoulder.
"The only thing I can do in this instance… Grovel to the writer." Missingno kneels down and speaks to an empty space. "I'm really sorry about what I said yesterday. I am really enjoying this story, it's funny and adventurous, and it's a pokemon fanfic, so that just makes it amazing to begin with." After many such praises, a rocket launcher appears in his hands. "Hurray! It worked!"
"Should I even ask what it is you did?"
"Nah." He lifts the rocket launcher and fires at the Nidoking.
The Nidoking crosses its arms in front of its face, blocking the explosion. Missingno lifts up a second rocket launcher and fires both again. The Nidoking slides back a few inches, but is unhurt.
"Good thing I brought my homemade custom rocket launcher."
He says 'custom', but it really is just a dozen different rocket launchers stuck together with duct tape and chewing gum.
"Whatever!" Missingno pulls the trigger, and the rockets fire one by one in quick succession. When the dust settles, Missingno drops both his rocket launcher and his jaw.
The Nidoking is unaffected. Even worse, it is now bigger with more spikes. Its eyes flicker, and charges. It rams Missingno, sending him flying into the foliage of a tree. It rages towards Cassandra, who is frozen.
She grips her bag as the hairs on her arms stand on end. She feels her hands get clammy, and notices that she has stopped breathing. The bulking monster of a pokemon is practically on top of her, and her mind still is not working. She can't even seem to scream. With mere seconds to react, her fight or flight instinct kicks in.
She chooses fight.
She clenches her bag tighter, and spins. With a perfectly timed swing, she smashes the Nidoking with her bag, sending it flying into the distance.
Missingno blows a whistle and lifts his arms straight up. "It's good!"
His comment shakes Cassandra out of her confusion. "W-what?"
"You beat it! Don't even know your own strength, huh? I guess this was a… smashing success." He laughs at his own horrible pun.
"Weren't you just in a tree?"
"Oh, right." He walks up to the same tree and jumps into the same place, feet sticking straight out.
Next to him in the tree, a Weedle is sticking out as well. Cassandra checks out her shoulder, and finds out that Weedy is gone. She figures that he flew off when she spun. She picks up a stick and throws it at the tree. Missingno falls out, landing face down. He sits up, and Cassandra's tent falls out as well, landing in his lap.
She tilts her head and points at it. "Wait, when did my tent get in the tree?"
Missingno shrugs. She tries to glare at him, but Weedy falls, landing spikefirst onto Missingno's head. Missingno screams and runs around the forest, blood splurting from his skull.
Cassandra shakes her head and walks toward Missingno to retrieve her pokemon.
