islandshore: (Rival Riku wants to battle!)
Option A;

[So, early in the day, Riku happened to stumble upon a pretty wild discovery.

Those watching may notice some eerie music. Anyone around for the Missingno event of '09 is sure to recognize it...

Though the music abruptly fades to this a few seconds later as a small group of MISSINGNO. appear.]


So, anyone else feeling a little nostalgic? Because, seriously, these things take me way back.

[Now he can only hope that his team hasn't reverted to pixels again.]

Option B;

[When the camera turns on again, there's a strange darkness to the images presented. Black pools form along the ground with bulging yellow eyes, and Riku stands in the very center with his back facing the screen...

He lets out an eerie chuckle before turning to face everyone. The smirk on his face seems a bit more sinister than the norm, and when he speaks, there's another voice underlying his own.]


What a peculiar world... Here the denizens seem content to partake in childish spars. They are reliant on other creatures to suit their needs and therefore fail to function without these beasts as their crutches. They are everywhere, as if worshiped like gods.

[He folds his arms over his chest.]

Such a peaceful place... I do wonder how long this will last. After all, darkness claims all worlds in time, as well as every beating heart. This boy was a fool to think he could resist me. His stay has only delayed the inevitable, as you can plainly see.

[Why yes, that would be Billy Zane Ansem speaking through Riku. It was quite a pleasant surprise, too, finding him so vulnerable. Too bad it can't last forever. He just might need some help to dispel this creeper.]
islandshore: (Don't touch my hair bro)
[The video begins with a shot of a drooling Aerodactyl with bloodshot eyes and a bit of raw meat hanging out of her mouth. She's right in the corner of the room, hissing and growling. Fortunately, she isn't rushing forward to attack just yet. Instead, he's tearing through her meat like a wild animal, baring her fangs every once in a while... at least until a little puffball of a Swablu gets too close.

At that moment, there's a terrifying GYAAAAAAAAAR! She leaps forward and thrashes about, knocking over some furniture in pursuit of the frantic little bird. Luckily, a ThunderPunch from Flare sends her back into the corner, moaning in agony.

Sighing, Riku picks up his PokéGear. Those watching may notice that there's a Swablu preening his hair, much to his dismay.]


It's a wonder I still put up with her.

[He shakes his head.]

Anyway, looks like I ended up with a Swablu. Not sure what to do with her, but I'll... figure something out.

[When he's not trying to feed his horrifying monsterbeast, anyway.]

Halloween's coming up, so I'll probably be hanging around Goldenrod for the next few weeks. Still gotta pick out a costume-- and that's if I even dress up this year. I still get the feeling there's some kind of catch. Remember the MISSINGNO.'s from last year?

But who knows? Maybe we'll get off easy this time.

[He shrugs. And after giving Terror one more glance, he adds--]

Hey, anyone else have an Aerodactyl?

[With that, he'll be heading out to explore the town. Buy some TMs, get some more meat for his army of monsterbeasts, and maybe do some training. He can be found just about anywhere in Goldenrod with his team close by. Yes, that means a very large Charizard, Blastoise, Haunter, Umbreon and Tyranitar are all out of their balls. Beware?]
islandshore: (don't touch the pringles)
[Back and forth in the pixelated grass, Riku's keeping his eyes peeled for the notorious MISSINGNO. Even as the eerie music plays on infinite loop, he doesn't look quite as phased as others.

In truth, he's keeping any and all fear to himself. He has to stay strong and, more importantly, these glitches need to be stopped.

That's why, when a regular MISSINGNO. appears, he tosses a Pokéball, sending out Jaws, who looks, well...]



[Different would be putting it lightly.

A battle ensues, with Jaws blasting water attacks at the MISSINGNO., only to be hit by water gun, water gun... and sky attack. Eventually, the MISSINGNO. flees, and Jaws returns to his Pokéball.

Riku continues along the route, though, keeping his eyes peeled for more, until--



Riku sends out Jaws again, but this time he doesn't move an inch, as the infernal cry continues for several moments.

Then the feed cuts off. Ten minutes later, the video picks up again, this time without any Pokémon in sight.]


I don't know what their deal is. Even if you do try to take care of them, they flee before you can finish them off. Anyone try catching them yet?

[ooc: Yellow MISSINGNO. is notorious for game freezes. :Db]
