Chapter 14- A Random Pokemon Battle With Actual Pokemon
"Hey! Let's have a battle!" The Lass sends out a Pidgey.
"Alright. Finally, a real pokemon battle." Cassandra smiles.
"Whoa. What is that supposed to mean?" Missingno crosses his arms. "I'm somewhat of a pokemon, and I've been battling this entire time."
While that may be true, this is the 14th chapter, and there still hasn't been a real pokemon battle.
"What about against that Geodude? Weedy did a real pokemon battle."
Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "Uh… That was barely a battle, and an exception, since it was a rock gym."
"And while we have been arguing, Weedy already won."
"What?" She quickly turns around. Weedy is wagging his head back and forth in excitement. He is standing on top of two poisoned, fainted Pidgeys.
Missingno smirks. "Remind me what trainers are for again?"
She takes a swing at him, but he ducks. He laughs as he backs out of her reach. In doing so, he stumbles backwards off a cliff. His face twists in surprise. "Cassandra. Cassandra! We have a problem!"
"What is it?"
"I'm stuck! I can't get back! The cliff is too tall!
"... It's like, a foot high."
"Yeah, WAY too tall." He walked forward until he kicked the ledge and jumped back. "I can't just… jump up or anything like that. Don't be crazy."
She shakes her head and turns to leave.
"No, wait! Don't leave me!"
His voice fades away as she keeps walking. She meets another trainer, this time a young Bug Catcher. He exclaims as he points his net, "Hey! I met you in Viridian Forest!"
Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "What are you talking about? I didn't meet ANYONE in there."
While that is true, his speech patterns are already set. Plus, it's not like we could tell or not. They don't even have names set yet. This could be some random kid for all we know. And even if it weren't there is the fact that… wait… she can't hear me… I miss Missingno.
"Go, Weedy!" Her Weedle faces down the Caterpie her opponent sent out. The two basic worm-like pokemon act big and mighty, but the sight of them trying to intimidate one another is sad.
Both trainers shout simultaneously. "Use String Shot!" Their pokemon blast each other with a stream of sticky webbing at each other, which holds their lower halves to the ground. Weedy struggles, but can't get free.
"Unlike your Caterpie, my Weedy can still attack! Poison Sting!"
Weedy nods at his trainer's command. He feels the attack form, and launches a poisonous point at the Caterpie... Wait, isn't Poison Sting just where he stabs with his stinger? I guess the animation in the game shows otherwise, but that is not until later versions. What do you think Missing... aw.
Back in the fight, the stinger closes in but the Caterpie dodges at the last second. It uses the momentum to roll and free itself. "Go! Use Tackle!" The Caterpie charges the best it can in crawling format.
"Hey Weedy, is that a leaf in front of you?" Cassandra points out.
Weedy's eyes sparkle, and he smacks his face on the ground to catch it. The Caterpie "runs" headfirst into his spike.
Enemy Caterpie fainted.
Weedy raises his head as the leaf finishes absorbing into his skin and wags his head back and forth. The Bug Catcher looks distraught, but sends out his next pokemon. It is a hard battle, but Cassandra and Weedy finally take them down. Cassandra fist pumps.
"And I did it all without that stupid, ridiculous, talented Missingno." Cassandra turns around to figure out why her voice was coming from behind her. Missingno smiles and gives a small wave. "That's what you were going to say, right?"
"Please stop using my voice." She glares at him.
Missingno coughs into his hand, returning to his voice. "So, did you miss me?"
"That depends. How long have you been standing there?"
"Umm... About the time you used sent out Weedy?"
"So the entire time."
"No, I missed like, 110 words at the start. Although half of them was the narrator."
Weird, I didn't notice you either.
"Says the person who was too lazy to finish describing the battle."
Touche.
"What are you even talking about?"
"Don't worry about it. The main thing is that you have proven yourself a worthy trainer. You have shown that you can work with what you got. Which in Weedy's case means Poison Sting-ing until everyone dies."
Weedy puffs out his chest. "Yes, yes we're proud of you." Cassandra pats the back of his head to avoid his spike.
She turns back to Missingno. "Does this mean you will let me finish fighting trainers without you interfering?"
"No promises."
She gives him a look, and pushes him back. He stumbles over another edge. "Uh oh. Cassandra, you accidentally pushed me over a large cliff. Cassandra! Wait! Why are you leaving? WAAAAAAAIIIIITTTT!"
