Prologue Alone, being alone... How many times have you ever been all by yourself in your life? I've been alone most time of my life. Pokémon and trainers keep away from me, calling me glitch. This isn't easy, I've never had a friend to talk with. The only person who loved me was my mom. She was a MissingNo too, but she looked like the rhino that pokémon are changing into when they use substitute. I often wish I looked like my mom... But, that's the way it is. I have to be a GLITCH!!! "Even the ugliest Muk is more beautiful and smells better than you do!", that's what everydoby says. My mom was the only one not to care about those things. I just think about her to much, I wish to see her alive... The only way I can see her is in my dreams. Part 1 I was in a strange cave. It was dark and I couldn't find a way out. I soon got lost! I shouted to get help: "Help me, please! Help! HELP! Does someone know where to find the Cinnabar Island lake (that's my home)? Where am I?" No answer. I was getting scared. "HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP! PLEASE, SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!" "What's going on, you're lost?" someone answered me. This someone used flash and I soon figured who it was: "Mom! What are you doing here?" "Max (that's my name), my mother said, I've now found you!" I ran towards her, but a Rhydon took her! "MOOOOM! LEAVE HER ALONE!" I shouted at the Rhydon. It didn't listen to me and ran away, taking Mom with it. NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I woke up! It was another of those bad dreams... But it's finished, now, I'm home! Oh, home, sweet home! Why do I always have to dream about my mom? Why can't I be happy like all other pokemon? I was too depressed. In these times, I go for a walk to forget everything. I walked (I can walk on water!) to Seafoam Islands. There, I sat on a rock, thoughtful. A Pokemon saw me and walked over to me. That was the first pokemon (other than my mom) who walked over to me. "Hi, it said in the pokemon language, why are you so sad?" "It's nice to care for me! How come you didn't got away from me?" "I don't care about the outside, it's what's inside that counts." "I totally agree, I'm sad because no one wants to be my friend." "I have a solution for you, you can change yourself into another pokemon with a gameshark." "Game what?" "Gameshark, it's something that changes a pokemon into another one! It also can allow a trainer to catch any pokemon or get any item he or she wants!" "It's so cool! I could change myself into any pokemon I want! Even, even..." "Even Mewtwo!" "MEWTWO! I'd love that!" "Good, I'll help you find a Gameshark and you can become a Mewtwo!" "Cool, thanks a lot, what's your name?" "Athena, I'm an Articuno." "Nice to meet you, I'm Max, a MissingNo." "Now, we have to find a Gameshark, let's get going!" "Ok! Thanks a lot, Athena!" Part 2 I jumped on Athena's back, we went out of the cave and flew to the biggest of all Pokemart, Celadon's Departement Store! When I got on the ground, I asked this to Athena: "How can we go in? Only humans are allowed to." "There is a floor only for Pokemon, you just need to know how to get in." "How?" "Open sesame!" After she said those words, the two of us were teleported in the store! An Alakazam was behind the counter. "Welcome, he greeted. It's nice to see you, Atehna, can you introduce me to your friend?" "It's Max. Max, this is Abraham, the pokemon shop owner!" "Hi Max!" "Nice to meet you, I said, but where are we?" "On the Celadon's departement store's ninth floor. No human ever got there! We sell many things that can be useful to pokemon." "Do you have a gameshark in stock?" "Sure! What do you exactly want to do with a gameshark?" "I want to become a Mewtwo." "So a gameboy gameshark would be perfect for you! It's 30$." "Oops, Athena, I completely forgot that I have no money! I do not have a trainer who has some..." Athena decided to lend me money so I could buy the gameshark! I was so excited! I would become a Mewtwo! Part 3 We left the shop with the gameshark. I was the happiest pokemon in the world! "Can we use it now? I said to Athena" "Sure, let's try it!" "Before we start, I just want to know something: how can I get money to reimburse you?" "Forget that, it's my gift!" "Thanks a lot! But where did you get the money to buy the gameshark?" "I had a trainer once and he gave me money before releasing me." "Ok. I can't believe it! I'll be a Mewtwo!" She plugged the gameshark into a gameboy and entered a code in it. After she typed it in, I was... I was becoming a Mewtwo! How beautiful I looked! I was taller than usual, more beautiful than usual and I was smelling better than usual! How impressed I was! I also felt more powerful! I thanked Athena thousands of times! "You're welcome, Athena said, now I have to go somewhere, wait for me in seafoam islands." "How can I get to seafoam islands? I can't fly!" "But you can teleport yourself!" "How?" "Use your psychic powers!" "But, how can I..." It was too late, she was already gone. I had to try and use my psychic powers. Part 4 I used teleport and I got teleported at the wrong place. It was a cave, but it didn't looked like seafoam islands at all. I saw a Graveler and asked it where I was: "You're in Victory Road. You're the first Mewtwo I see around." "I teleported myself here by mistake, I said." "You can't control your powers? Oh, I get it! You must have been gamesharked. I heard about gameshark. It looks cool, but I think that I prefer to be myself. What pokemon were you before?" "I was a Kangaskhan.", I lied. I didn't want anyone to know I'm a MissingNo or everybody will get away from me again. The Graveler continued to talk with me and then, he said goodbye to me. I was happy to talk with a Pokemon that long! I walked a bit by myself and I saw Athena, she was fighting with a Moltres. Athena seemed very weak! I had to help her before she faints! I used my Psychic attack on the Moltres. Moltres forgot about Athena and attacked me with a Fire Blast. I used Thunder and the Moltres got away! Athena was surprised. She thanked me for saving her. I told her that it was normal, after erything she did for me. I’m so happy to have a friend like her. Part 5 I slept in the cave and Athena did too. I was having a bad dream again! I saw me, as a MissingNo, I saw my mom run and I started to run after her and I felt down a hole! NOOOOOOOO. And I woke up! Phew… I was in Cinnabar Island lake. How come? I slept in the Victory Road Cave! And… I was a MissingNo again! But it’s impossible! This gameshark doesn’t work! I had to tell Athena! I went in seafoam island and saw her. I asked her: “How come I’m a MissingNo again? This gameshark doesn’t work!” “Too bad for you.” “But we have to go to the shop, we must get another one!” “No.” “No? You’re teasing me?” “No, I’m not. I gaved you a Gameshark, you gaved me a territory. I do not owe you anything else!” “You traitor! You used me to get Moltres’ territory! And the money, I bet that you stole it to a trainer!” “Life is not fair and that’s the way it is, GLITCH!” She was going to attack me, but something stopped her. It was Moltres! It made Athena faint and it said: “Keep your territory and I’ll keep mine, but never try to attack me again or else…” “I swear that I won’t attack you again, Zeus, if you leave now!” “Bye, Athena. Hope NOT to see you soon!” He left the cave and I did too. I was so sad to be a MissingNo again. I was very angry with Athena. I thought I finally found a friend. But how wrong I was…
