Chapter 19- A Random Geodude
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAND, we're back." Time resumes right where it left off last chapter.
"Missingno, we should really help those guys, and isn't that Geodude is a glitch, and where did you get a hot dog?"
He looks at the steaming food in his hand. "Are we going to talk about that?" In a few swift bites, he consumes the hot dog. "Or are we going to do this thing?" He pulls on a pair of swimming goggles and steps out onto the diving board in a Missingno-colored speedo.
"When did-"
"Cassandra." He puts a finger to his lips. "I'm trying to sing."
He gracefully leaps off the springboard and performed a reverse 4 and a half somersault. He spins as he floats down in a majestic manner… and belly flops on the Geodude's head. The Geodude picks him off and throws him at the ground, burying him into the dirt. A nearby group of costumed Missingnos raise scores. 10, 10 and -12. The Simon Cowell Missingno speaks in a British accent. "That had to be the worst singing. Ever. Of all time."
Missingno pops out of the ground, gasping. "Okay, now to figure out how to get Cassandra down."
Behind him, elevator doors open and Cassandra and Weedy get off.
"Since when was that there?"
"Since we walked into this room. There was a big blinking sign that said 'The ElevaTorr: Runs to operation level, so don't try to jump and/or dive down'."
"Oh…"
The Rocket Launcher members rush on and take it back up.
"So what now? Are you going to use your rocket launcher to blow it up?"
"No, Geodudes are impervious to rocket launchers. Why do you think Team Rocket Launcher ran away instead of fighting?"
Cassandra looks at Missingno. "Is your rocket launcher ever going to be of any use? Because so far it has not done a single thing."
He caresses his custom launcher. "It's okay, girl. She didn't mean it."
"So what random thing will you use to defeat this?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're expecting some random thing to happen?"
"Well, yeah."
"Great, that ruins the surprise. What if I used a banana?" He holds up an apple.
"Sure, go ahead."
He crushes the fruit in his grip. "No good, no good." He scratches his chin. "What to do?"
"Whatever you do, do it quick. I'm surprised the Geodude hasn't attacked us yet."
Missingno huffs. "Oh, so the giant Geodude with beefy arms surprises you, but my wielding a fork made out of spoons doesn't?" He holds up a strange fork/spoon mesh.
"No."
"I will have you know that the Geodude is just following the rules. He can't attack while we have an important conversation." He winks at the Pokemon, and it winks back. "In order to defeat a Geodude, we have to use the weakness wheel. Geodude beats rocket launcher, and what beats Geodude is…"
Missingno reaches into the front pocket of Cassandra's large bag and pulls something out. "THIS!" It is a small sledgehammer with a short handle.
"A hammer?"
"A hammer."
"And it will work?"
"And it will work."
"How?"
"How… I mean, like this!" Missingno smiles back at her scowl. He grips the hammer with both hands, holds it at arm's length, and proceeds to spin in place. Faster and faster, he whips around, creating a small whirlwind. Cassandra places a hand on Weedy to keep him in place and steps back.
Now at a blinding speed, Missingno begins to yell. At the same time, the Geodude winds up a punch. The two attacks close in to collide.
"Hammer… BEAAAAAAAM!" From the end of the hammer, a ray of lights shoots out, connecting with the Geodude's face. It is pushed back into the wall before bursting into a generous flow of coins… and a Team Rocket Launcher member.
Cassandra's eyes widen as she holds out her hands. But before she can catch any coins, they are pulled to the side. She turns to see Missingno sucking them all in.
"Missingno!"
"What?"
"Do you know how much we needed that money? It's expensive enough to feed you, let alone that fact that you stop me from fighting like, half the people we see. And now you EAT the money?"
"Don't worry. It was all just those chocolates wrapped to look like money. I was just too lazy to unwrap them. Here, I saved you one." He pulls out a single coin and hands it to her.
"Missingno."
"What?"
"This is a real coin."
Missingno's stomach makes a gurgling sound. "Oh no."
