Chapter 41- A Random Roar
Missingno rolls onto his back, breathing heavily. "The battle's not over until the fat lady sings!" The Zubuffpuff walks towards him. "Crap, I forgot that this fat lady can Sing."
Missingno used Substitute!
Wild Enemy Zubuffpuff used Toxic!
Missingno holds up a green stuffed animal doll in time as his opponent spits out some nasty purple liquid.
"Well, I thought it was going to put me to Sleep, but I guess either way it worked out."
You do know that Substitute doesn't block Sleep yet, right?
"What? Really?" Still holding the doll, he dodges around as the Zubuffpuff continues to attack. "So it completely blocks poison, burns, and freezing-"
And flinching.
"-but not sleep?"
It also stops paralysis side effects on attacks that deal damage, and blocks all attacks that only cause confusion with no additional damage.
"What is with these complicated rules?!" He flips a table, which flies at the Zubuffpuff until it is punched in half.
Don't worry, it is fixed by gen 2.
"That's a relief, BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME HERE!" He flips another table.
Cassandra calls out to him. "Missingno, are you talking to yourself again?"
"No, I am talking to… I just had a thought. Did we have any typos so far?"
Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "What?"
"I'm talking to myself."
… You are asking me though, right?
"Yeah. So?"
None so far.
He grins. "Perfect."
Missingno used Double Team!
Enemy Zubuffpuff used Mega Punch!
The Pokemon(?) punches through an after-image. It turns around to face Missingno, who is standing in front of the bouncy castle. He tosses the doll to the side.
"The only time it said both 'wild' and 'enemy' is when it used Toxic, which both Zubat and Jigglypuff can learn." He places a foot back to brace himself. "Time for the the fat lady to sing."
Missingno used Roar!
As Missingno roars, the Zubuffpuff's form shifts. The blue seems to melt off and fly away. It turns into a giant Zubat and flies in place, screeching.
Missingno watches calmly while holding his hands over his ears. "Now!"
A group of the humanoid Zubats jump in and grab a hold of the giant Zubat's wings. It ignores them and prepares an attack.
Wild Zubat used Swift!
Stars erupt from its mouth, but before they hit Missingno, they turn to the side and break the doll lying on the floor.
"Sorry, the Substitute was still up."
The giant Zubat shakes off the others and heads into a dive.
"Tossing Pokemon moves aside and just going for a straight attack, huh? Two can play at that game."
As the Zubat gets close, it opens its mouth to swallow Missingno whole. Inches before he becomes lunch, the clown Missingno appears and smashes the giant Zubat with an even bigger balloon poodle. At the same time that it shatters, the humanoid Zubats glitch out before returning to normal Pokemon.
Cassandra slides off the castle. "Cutting that a little close, don't you think?"
The clown Missingno laughs. "Don't worry. He was sure that I would pull through for him, right?"
They look at the other Missingno, who is white-eyed, foaming at the mouth, and falls on his face, weeping.
"... He's fine." The clown Missingno throws off his costume, wearing his usual black and white get-up. He walks up to a Jr. Trainer Girl- "I believe this is yours." -and hands her a Jigglypuff, still with huge arms.
"Wait, I thought that when you beat the glitch, everything turns back to normal."
"It does. I was the one who turned it into a Buffpuff."
"... Why?!"
He shrugs. "Cause can."
Cassandra shakes her head as she and Driller follow Missingno farther into the cave. She looks down to the dead end. "Is this the right way to the ladder?"
"No, this tunnel is a little strange. It is actually box levels, and the ladders don't match at all. So we are just gonna head to the bottom and Dig our way up."
Driller pulls the shovel out and flies up to the ceiling. Dirt falls down at them as he makes a hole to the top.
"Cool, but how are we supposed to get up?"
Missingno pulls out a piece of equipment. "GRAPPLING HOOK!" A hook launches up and through the ceiling. He hands the gun to Cassandra. "Ladies first."
She takes the piece, and it automatically starts to reel the cord in. She is pulled up quickly through the hole, and after she passes through the hole, it suddenly seals up. She lets go and drops to the floor. Missingno yanks the grappling hook free and rolls it up.
"Wait! When did you get here?!"
Missingno looks back at her. "Well, it took a few times, but Quick Attack is very handy. I have to hit something, but caves provide plenty of fodder- I mean, Zubats." Back through the tunnel, dozens of fainted Zubats are lying around at long intervals.
"... Right." Cassandra claps her hands together. "I say we exit, find a nice place to set up camp, and finally get to sleep."
Missingno yawns and rubs his eyes. "I like that plan." He walks to the bottom of the ladder, then flips 90 degrees and walks straight up it.
Cassandra sighs, knowing what is coming next. Sure enough, climbing the ladder leads to walking out the tunnel opening. Never anything in between. She shakes her head as she looks around for Missingno. The sun has already gone down, but she thinks she sees him.
Right in front of the exit is a small plateau that sits on a hill. As she strains her eyes in the dark, she sees Missingno is standing on top of it, staring at the tower nearby while eating a bag of chips.
Cassandra calls out to him. "What are you doing? There's some open space by a tree nearby. We can set up camp there and eat some dinner." Despite her yelling at him, he doesn't even flinch. "Is anything wrong?"
"Yeah. Very wrong." He runs off towards the next town.
She raises her eyebrow as she looks around. She eventually follows after him to the town, and when she finally gets there…
She is met by a bunch of zombies…
Pokemon zombies.
