This is a horror story based off of Missingno., the Old Man Glitch's signature Pokemon. We'll see that not all is what it seems here on Cinnabar Island…

Ode to a Nether God: MissingNo's Story

Chapter One: The Beginning

I felt nothing. I was numb, mentally and physically. I was trapped…in something. As I began to come to my senses, I saw an odd green liquid pulse around me. When I looked further, I could see glass. I was trapped in a giant test tube? No. I don't think that's what it was. A human whose form I could barely discern touched some buttons in front of a glowing screen, and the fluid drained out. I collapsed onto the bottom of the tube, my ghostly form regaining its visibility. The tube then opened, leaving me to crash onto the floor, but without a sound. The human now looked more like a 11-year-old child of their own, who said, "You don't deserve that kind of treatment, Marowak."
Marowak? Who the heck is Marowak? I looked up, and said,

"Who's Marowak? I'm MissingNo. For years, I have eluded capture by your 'scientists', until several days ago. Then, you freed me from my glass prison, and here I am. Now, open that glass rectangle, yes?"

The human child was dull enough to obey. He(I think it was a he) opened the 'window', and I slipped out soundlessly. I mouthed "Thanks" to him, and I flew to the coast. Soon, I heard shouts coming from the lab I had been trapped in. Then an explosion. I grinned inwardly, seeing my ruse had worked. I had actually got a human to feel compassion for me. Stupid creatures. They had no idea what I was, or my abilities. I slipped back into the ocean.

SEVERAL MONTHS LATER

Ash was walking along the Cinnabar Island coast for no reason whatsoever, when suddenly a ghostly form rose from the water. Ash checked his Pokedex, and it said, "MissingNo., the Missing Pokemon. No Data Available. Level 168."

Ash looked at his Pokedex, eyes bugging out in horror, and then he looked at the ghost, who had a toothy grin in his mouth, and MissingNo lurched towards him, and Ash's vision went black.


"Hey, has anyone seen a boy named Ash Ketchum around here?" asked a tall, brown-skinned figure with spiked hair, eyes squeezed shut, and a green-and-brown vest on, along with a pair of cargo pants. Brock.

"Nope, not a clue."

"Nah."

"You got me lost there, bud."

Brock sighed, realising he had failed, so he decided to walk to the coast to sit and ponder. When he sat down, a dead Pikachu washed up, blood spattered on its small body. What followed next scared the hell out of Brock.

Ash washed up, half of his head missing, blood spattered all over his jeans, and a hole where his heart was.

Brock vomited into the water, the image burned into his brain. He fled, but was caught by a ghostly shape, who looked Brock dead in the eyes, smiled with bloody teeth, and lunged for his throat, biting in deep, drawing a lot of blood as MissingNo bit at his jugular vein, severing his main artery. Brock's eyes rolled up into his head as MissingNo finished feeding. MissingNo then ripped Brock's heart out of his body, and placed it in a small box. Alongside Ash's heart as well. He labeled it "BROCK." MissingNo laughed evilly as he retreated into the water, waiting for whoever came next.

Hmm.  Not too bad, but overly grotesque (as well as making a character that most of your audience sympathizes with sadistic and evil).

I know, but keep in mind everything isn't what it seems…
