Chapter 61- A Random Punch

"I wonder what kind of punch will be so random that it deserves it's own title?" Missingno scoops his mouth off the floor.

You know, if someone read this for the first time, they might think that was some metaphorical phrase.

"I'll make sure to not put my foot in my mouth ever." Missingno turns toward the Koga clones.

"How are you going to take care of these guys?" Cassandra sits down and sighs. "Cause I'll be honest, I don't think that we have any more fight inside of us."

Missingno looks at the team, worn out and ready for some well deserved rest.

"... Nah, you guys have got this."

"What?!" Cassandra jumps back up, eyes flaring.

Missingno throws a Hyper Potion to Driller and a Max Potion to Koja. "That should give you a second wind."

"And what about me?!" Cassandra waves a hand at the dozen or so clones already getting ready to fight. "Do you really think that we can take these guys?"

"Come on, they are extensions, mere copies of Koga. I know you guys can do this." He smiles.

Missingno used Quick Attack!

In an instant, he barrels past the clones. They turn to follow, but stop to deal with a barrage of needles and throwing stars.

Koja and Driller rip off the tops of the potions and drink the contents.

"You actually drank that? Isn't that a little questionable?"

Koja shrugs. "I'm already a glitch, what's the worst that can happen now?"

She scoffs. "At least you aren't the one leaving us to do what you don't want to."

He smiles. "You know, if we fail, Missingno will literally have enemies attacking from both sides. To trust that we have his back is…"

"..." Cassandra readies her hammer against the clones. "Yeah, yeah. Let's just do this."

A few moments ago, Koga throws yet another glob. Suddenly, Missingno appears, grabs the glob, and throws it back in his face.

"Yeah, I don't need another clone for my friends to face."

Koga scoffs. "You think that you can fight me?"

"Uhhh, I don't know. Can I fight him?"

Without the other glitch, he is set as a Pokemon, even with ninja techniques used as a base.

"It's called a 'jutsu'."

… Ok, you Weeaboo. Anyways, Poison Touch doesn't show up until Generation 5.

"Not even I have enough power to break that many barriers."

Well, you still have to be careful of attack. You know, like THAT ONE!

Missingno turns to see Koga about to punch him. But right before it lands, the direction twists safely to the side.

"... Say it."

Fistbending, ba-

"Fistbending, baby!"

Koga finally recovers, and goes for another punch, but that one twists away as well. And the next one.

Missingno throws a counter-punch, but Koga dodges and quickly punches again. The result stays the same, causing a back and forth of continual punches… that never hit… even though at high speeds…

...Oh, my gosh. You just wanted to pull a DBZ fight scene, didn't you?

"What? I have no idea what you are saying." He breaks out in a sweat.

Just attack already.

"Fine."

Missingno used Comet Punch!

Koga puts up a quick guard as Missingno unleashes a barrage of shallow punches on him. He backs off, but Missingno doesn't let up.

Missingno used Fire Punch!

As Missingno swings the punch, Koga jumps to the side. His eyes grow wide as Missingno's fist curves into him. The fist lands on his side, and a breath bursts from his lips. Missingno doesn't stop, continuing the rush.

Missingno used Ice Punch!

Missingno used Thunder Punch!

Missingno used Dizzy Punch!

With each attack, Missingno's fist twists to follow his foe. Even when Koga puts up a defense at the end, the fist goes around it to hit him in the face.

"Say it!"

… Fistbending, ba-

"FISTBENDING, INFANT!"

… What?

"... You know. An infant is a step up from a baby, so it means something even more intense, right?"

… WHAT?!

"Is that not a thing?" Missingno turns to look at Koga, who is still trying to grip his head as his eyes spin. "It's a thing, right?"

"Missingno!"

He turns around to see the other three protagonists lounging around a bunch of purple puddles.

Cassandra grins as she waves to him. "Hurry up!"

"Oh, come on!" Missingno breathes heavily through his teeth. " You had Driller with you! His Bug type moves are super effective to Poison types in this gen!"

… Yeah, I've no explanation for that. Shouldn't Poison be super effective to Bug?

"It is."

The hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and Missingno dodges an attack from Koga. Koga shakes off the lingering effects from the punch before rushing him again.

"See?! This guy never goes down!" He dodges each punch while backing away. "I would need some powerful Bug type move, like a Rocket Punch, or the power to control all black holes!"

Koja scrunches his eyebrows. "What? How would either of those be Bug type?"

Cassandra's eyes grow big as she pulls a small coin out of her pocket. She looks over the golden surface, then at Missingno.

She tosses the coin into the air, and after bouncing a few times, it stops.

Missingno's arm turns into a giant missile. "Darn, I was really hoping for black hole powers."

He points the arm at Koga, who jumps way back and forms a ball of goop in his hand.

Missingno used Rocket Punch!

As the missile careens towards him, Koga throws the goop at it. Right before they collide, the missile curves around the goop and directly into Koga.

It's super effective!

"FISBENDING, TEEN!" Missingno throws his hands in the air…

And gets hit in the face by the goop.

"MISSINGNO!" Their cry matches the unity that they jump up to check on their companion.

As they run up, Cassandra bites her lip and Koja furrows his brow. Driller tries to rush onto his fallen body…

And he sits straight up, knocking Driller to the ground. The others jump back, gasps escaping mouths and hands grabing chests.

"I thought you said you couldn't take a hit!" Cassandra yells as she places her hands on her knees and breathes heavily.

"I thought so too. My Defense is lowered all the way."

Um, your Defense has been lowered by six stages, but apparently your glitched stat is still at 654.

Missingno feels his ears turn red as he smiles at the others.

They glare back.
