Chapter 66- A Random Lifeguard
The bird rushes down onto the island, crashing and splitting into 4 individuals.
Cassandra gasps. "You seriously need to stop doing that!" She glares at Missingno. "There is no way that combining with you is safe for us."
Koja holds his head. "I'm more worried about how we threw a ton of dynamite into the ocean while passing over."
Missingno laughs. "Don't worry. Those were only to defeat all the Pokemon and get some quick Exp."
"So they were dynamite whose explosions only effects Pokemon and not the swimmers?"
Missingno face goes pale and his eyes go wide. Behind him, a team of lifeguard Missingnos rush to the beach.
"Yeah. Definitely."
As they glare at him, Driller flies around in excited circles around Missingno.
"What is it, boy? Is Billy stuck in a well? Oh, no! We'll never be able to get him out! BILLY!"
Driller strikes him across the face with a spear hand and points to a Dome Fossil. In the middle of the road, it glitches in and out every few seconds.
"... Oh."
Missingno pulls out a sword and points it downwards at the glitch.
Wait, that's it? No craziness?
He shrugs. "I still got that to take care of." He jabs a thumb over his shoulder at the giant structure of ice and flame. "No clue what is going on, but this guy needs to end quickly."
As he stabs down at the fossil, a bone scythe reaches out of the fossil and repels the attack. As the rest of the creature emerges, Missingno backs off to where Cassandra and Koja are readying themselves for a fight.
The skeletal creature shakes its scythe hands at the group, as the dimly lit red eyes flicker in and out.
Koja reaches down for some rocks. "Are you going to need help?"
Missingno snorts. "Look at that thing. It can barely move. The only thing it has going for it is a former form of mine. The plot power of this place was used up a long time ago. I will only need one reference to defeat this weakling."
It's not another DBZ reference again, is it?
"... No." Missingno puts the Spirit Bomb back in his pocket and pulls out his sword again, pointing it at the glitch.
Really, just using your sword again? Doesn't that get old?
"Maybe, but you see, the thing about this sword is…" The blade mechanically separates down the middle, revealing a barrel. "It's also a gun."
Missingno used Hyper Beam!
The skeletal creature prepares itself, but the beam skims its side as it passes and hits the fossil just as it appears again.
The explosion from the fossil shatters the skeleton as well.
Missingno grins. "That was quick."
Still took you over 400 words, though.
"Then let's not waste any more words and take on our next challenge!" He turns to face the great structure and continues to move the plot for-
"Alright, I'm gonna go get my badge first." Cassandra walks past him, towards the gym.
"Wait!" Missingno reaches out for her, but she glares at him.
"I haven't gotten a real Pokemon battle for awhile. I am taking this."
"And how exactly are you planning on beating a whole gym of Fire types with a bee?"
Driller floats over, dragging a shovel with the words 'TM 28'. Missingno slips a hockey mask on him, completing the look.
I forgot about that.
"I'm sure most people did. Chapter 29 was over a year ago."
Cassandra rolls her eyes as she enters the gym with Driller in tow, still dragging his shovel.
Koja shrugs. "That seems interesting." He follows her as well.
… So, did you want to be alone?
"Yeah, this is not something I wish to share with them just yet." Missingno walks to the east coast and places a hand on an invisible wall.
The wall lights up and the light condenses as it wraps around his right wrist. The light stops, and a black band remains. Missingno touches the band as a tear rolls down his face.
… Are you going to explain anything?
"Maybe next season. For now, I just want to be with my memories."
Ok, I'll move the story along.
The group exits the gym, Missingno included.
"I can't believe you took that last fight." Cassandra crosses her arms.
"Come on, you know that Driller was struggling. That Arcanine was crazy! I at least waited until after he fought that entire group of 16 Pokemon at once."
Koja nodded. "That was awesome. I thought about helping, but he had it covered." He furrows his brow. "Wait, did you alter the gym so that if we got a question wrong that all the trainers would attack?"
"..." Missingno begins to sweat.
Cassandra glares at him. "No wonder the last question was, 'What is my dog's name?'"
"By the way, the right answer to that was 'Charles'."
"There was only 'yes' or 'no'!"
"No matter! It is time to fight this catastrophe." Missingno points to the structure, which is now only a few dozen feet from the shore.
And the wall begins to shoot Flamethrowers and Ice Beams at him.
"Well, good thing that the chapter ends right here with a funny gag."
Yeah, there is actually still some words left in the chapter, so we are still going.
"..." Missingno jumps out of the way as the beams attack him.
… And just him.
"Why just me?!"
As Missingno runs around, a lifeguard Missingno leaps out of the water like a graceful dolphin. As it comes to an arc, the beams hit him, and he freezes into place in the air. Another Missingno jumps right next to him, getting frozen just a little higher. Soon, the frozen Missingnos create a staircase to the top of the wall.
"Let's go!" Koja and Cassandra run up the makeshift stairs.
As Missingno follows after them, he desperately dodges the beams. He looks at the frozen Missingnos, and notices that they seem to also be on fire.
"Man, I'm glad that I don't get the experiences of my clones."
Missingno catches up as they round the wall. The beams stop as they run over the solid ice roof of the structure.
"Seriously, where is the chapter going to end on?"
"Missingno!" Cassandra glares at him. "Get your head in the game before something bad happensAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The ice shatters, sending the protagonists plummeting into the darkness below.
"Oh, here it is."
