Missing Number Escapes To Equestria

ERROR ONE: Data Corrupted. No Purpose Could Be Found. Move This File? <Y>/N

The world of Pokémon. In our reality, it exists only as a series of games, a bunch of hexadecimal code strung together. However, in the vast expanse of the multiverse, there lies a world of Pokémon that is very real. This world is where our story begins. It is known that there are hundreds, if not thousands of different Pokémon in this world. From number 001 Bulbasaur, to number 802 Marshadow and beyond, all Pokémon have found their purpose- except for one forgotten Pokémon. Its number is special- 000. Its name is MissingNo., but not many have ever even heard of this particular Pokémon. Most that have heard of it consider the very idea of this Pokémon a pure myth that has no basis in reality. But there is a small number of those that have heard of it that know what it once did. MissingNo. was once in charge of regulating irregularities in nature. “Glitches”, if you will. However, as it cleaned up the problems, it changed to be more of a “glitch” itself. Nowadays, very few “glitches” remain aside from MissingNo. itself. Because of this, we find ourselves watching MissingNo. ponder about what its purpose is after removing yet another “glitch”.

The strange figure made of whitish blocks arranged in an absurdly tall rectangle spoke in its garbled tongue.

However, MissingNo. was not to remain alone long- a strong light descended into the area, carrying a strong presence. MissingNo. had no need to avert its gaze, for any “eyes” it once had were glitched beyond recognition. The light abated, and standing before Missing No. was the creator of the Pokémon universe, Arceus. Arceus took a small glance at MissingNo, and spoke with a melodious tone. “Ah, MissingNo. How fare you this day? Keeping up with your work, I trust?”

MissingNo. would be glaring at Arceus if it had eyes. Instead, it simulated an irritated huff.

If Arceus was surprised by that assessment, it showed no sign of it. Instead, it picked up where it left off. “I see. So you think you have outlived your purpose here? No ‘mon ever has done that- I’m sure that you are mistaken. Another strong ‘glitch’ will assert itself soon, I’m certain. Just be patient. Have I ever been wrong before?”

MissingNo. didn’t hesitate in answering.

Arceus sighed at this response, and shook its head. “I suppose that you want something to do in the meantime, then? But what should I have you do? Every time I send you on a sabbatical in this world, it doesn’t take long for ‘glitches’ to pop up again. This time too, will prove no different…” But then, Arceus’ expression changed slightly as he felt something in the threads of the multiverse. “... Unless you go to another world to deal with a ‘glitch’ outbreak there…”

This offer caught MissingNo.’s attention. At this opportunity, it simulated excitement.

Equestria, Planet Mytharia, 1005 CR, 20 minutes before arrival.

The heroes of Equestria that had defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, and Tirek had gathered once again, all in Canterlot’s throne room. Celestia and Luna had called them there, rather urgently. Twilight spoke first. “What ancient evil has come back this time?”

Celestia shook her head. “I’m afraid it’s not like that this time, Twilight. We’ve never seen anything quite like it before. We have no way to properly explain what’s going on. It’s best to show you.” She levitated a Scrying Orb into the room, and cast a spell upon it. “Look, and see for yourselves.” And the six heroes did- and gasped at what they saw. Strange creatures that looked like they were made of whitish blocks and random parts from living beings were wreaking havoc on the world. A few of them were skeletons of long-dead creatures given life! Anything they touched ceased to work the way it should- but instead of doing something explicitly chaotic that made no sense, they just deformed to whitish blocks fused into whatever it was before, and doing its job too well or not at all. Rarity fainted, and the others had shivers run across their bodies.

Luna then spoke. “As you have seen, these creatures corrupt all they touch to become like them. No magic spell fired at them seems to hurt them. Weather itself cannot harm them, and what help Earth Ponies would be able to provide is worthless. We fear that nothing can stop them, whatever they even are.”

Celestia saw the state of the heroes, and cut in. “However, the Rainbow Magic may be our best hope- it doesn’t work like other magics, so it may have a chance of beating these… creatures.”

At this, Twilight and her friends gained hope. They all spoke up, with varying levels of confidence, but the sentiment was the same, that the princesses could count on them. But, before they could leave to fight, they noticed something on the Scrying Orb. They observed as a white portal opened in the sky. All the strange creatures seemed to look towards it as well. Out of it came the most strange looking of all the creatures yet. It looked to be about the size of a skyscraper, and the same rectangular shape. It too was made of whitish blocks, but unlike the other creatures, in this one there was no semblance of any living creature that had ever been documented in Mytharian history. It landed on the ground with a THUD, a shockwave rippling across the continent from its direction that they all felt. When they saw it, they believed it to be the source of the creatures. Their leader. Then, for whatever reason, what they heard from it they almost thought was… speech.

Author's Note:

It's here, at long last! My second attempt at a Pokémon crossover! The first one didn't do too well, but I've got plans for this one! Now, as I'm writing this note, I've planned this fic to be on the shorter side compared to some of my other fics. I hope that you all stick with me through this. If you've got any thoughts, let me know in the comments below!

This seems pretty interesting, though it is really hard to read missing no's speech. :/

There's a trick to reading glitched out text, not even requiring using a tool to unglitch it. Just highlight it with mouse selection. But don't worry, the glitch text will only stick around until late into next chapter as a constant thing.

[AcidReflex]

Pretty good start. Cant wait to see more

[darkstone57]

Great stuff. Keep it up.

[Silentwoodfire]

To translate the gibberish into something legible

I thought turning on read mode would make this easier to understand, but it's also reading out all of the fucked up characters hidden inside the font. Like where the hell does it get off saying diaeresis, the specific name of this thing ï
