Chapter 40- A Random Pokemon Fusion

Cassandra jumps onto the bouncy castle with Driller right behind her.

"So, now that the… whatever you called it has muscles, you run scared."

Tears form at the edge of Missingno's eyes as he looks at her. "Can you blame me? Did you see the size of those arms?"

"Yeah, this reminds me of the Geodude in Mt. Moon."

"Seems to be a reoccurring theme with caves. I shiver thinking what will be waiting for us at Victory Road."

They hear a cry from outside the castle. They look over the edge to see the Zubuffpuff repeatedly punching the side. Each swing bounces off harmlessly.

Missingno wipes away the tears and laughs. "Take that! Nothing can penetrate the sturdy walls of the great castle-"

"It has a knife."

It picks up a large kitchen knife and smiles. Or, at least I think it smiles. Hard to tell when its entire face is a mouth.

Missingno half smiles. "... I told you leaving them around would make things more interesting."

"I was hoping that your 'interesting' would cause less problems, but that was too much to ask for, huh?"

"Fire the main cannon!" He throws a beach ball harmlessly at the Zubuffpuff's head. "No good, attack with everything we got!" He begins throwing an assortment of inflatable pool toys to no avail.

The Zubuffpuff ignores the useless toys and tries to stab the castle. Before it can, it is hit by a cannonball. It stumbles back, but quickly regains itself.

Missingno jumps down. "So, that's how it's gonna go? You have forced me to pull out the real weapons." He brandishes a long pink balloon. "Come at me, bro!"

The Zubuffpuff stabs at Missingno, but he parries the attack with his own 'weapon'. When the two make contact, it sounds like metal clashing. It tries to continually strike, but each attack, lunge, and even the feints are deflected.

Cassandra watches from on the castle. "I'm really going to regret this, but… what is that?"

He looks at her while still deflecting the enemy's attacks. "I wanted a balloon to fight with the Balloon Pokemon. The party clown said that it is the hardest balloon animal he can create, but he said I was worth the effort to make this 'snake'."

"... What party clown?"

"The one behind you."

She looks over to see a group of the humanoid Zubats hanging around, eating cake, chatting(?), and having a good time. Close by, a Missingno in a clown getup is juggling.

"So that's why this castle thing is here."

"No, it's not part of the party. I just like bouncy castles."

She turns back and glares at him. "You do know that a balloon animal can't block a sharp edge, right?"

Missingno's eyes widen. "... What?" His balloon pops.

The Zubuffpuff stabs at Missingno, but he sidesteps and back kicks the knife out of its hand. It then charges in for a close fight.

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Pound!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Double Slap!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Body Slam!

The Pokemon(?) hits Missingno's face in a rage of attacks. It then lunges at his midsection, arms open wide.

Missingno used Substitute!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Disable!

Missingno disappears and leaves a green stuffed animal doll behind. The Zubuffpuff proceeds to wrap its muscular arms around and crush the doll in half.

"That is the craziest spin on 'Disable' I have ever seen!" Missingno pops up back by the castle, sweating bullets.

Literal bullets.

The Zubuffpuff lunges at him again, but this time Missingno steps out of the way. It flies into the castle and bounces off, heading back towards Missingno. It grabs onto him and throws him over its shoulder.

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Seismic Toss!

Missingno flips around a couple of times before falling on and shattering his Substitute doll. He weakly gives a thumbs up. "Ha. Substitute was still up, so I didn't get hurt."

Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "Does it know that move because of its arms?"

"No, Jigglypuff can learn that TM."

"Really? What else can it learn?"

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Blizzard!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Ice Beam!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Psychic!

It didn't affect Missingno.

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Bubblebeam!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Fire Blast!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Solarbeam!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Thunder!

Enemy Zubuffpuff used Thunderbolt!

After the barrage ends and the dust starts to clear, Missingno slowly pulls himself along the ground. "Why? Why, gen 1 Jigglypuff? WHY?!"

Also, how?

"Obviously, because it is the Balloon Pokemon."

… That doesn't answer anything.

"Yeah, but that's the best answer I got."
