While the Missingno army's invasion was held off by Horrace Hunter before Grantchu was able to permanently patch the version to end the threat of the glitches, the attack left a scar on the environment.
Battle 121: Into the Glitchlands
Published: 22/06/24
Location: Border of the Glitchlands
Player: Gym Leader Blaine (1-0-0)
Hah! I got here as fa-- What in the world happened?
Horace Hunter: Invasion. Held them off long enough for the Hybrid to stop it. Shouldn't be bothering us anymore. I'm going to go nap now.
HORACE HUNTER fainted!
Huh?! But... there was a coast somewhere around here when I went inside my gym for a gym challenge 15 minutes ago.
WIREFRAME ENVIRONMENT extends beyond where BLAINE is standing!
WEIRD SPIKEY GEOMETRY exists within it!
OCEAN can be seen on OTHER SIDE of WIREFRAME ENVIRONMENT!
Huh?! I need to check if it's safe as the closest thing to an authority figure around here, I guess...
Hah! Just me and my Pokémon!
There is a GYM CHALLENGER on the 4th QUESTION!
Hah! Then I'll just hit this switch.
BLAINE used PRESS!
BLAINE pressed EMERGENCY VULPIX TORCHIC GRAIN PUZZLE BUTTON!
FIFTH and FINAL QUESTION and GYM TRAINER was replaced by ANNOYING STOCK LOGIC PROBLEM!
WI-FI in CINNEBAR ISLAND GYM was DISABLED!
DOOR to CINNEBAR ISLAND GYM was SEALED!
Hah! That'll keep whoever it is busy.
Hah! Arcanine, come on out. We've got work to do!
BLAINE sent out ARCANINE!
Hah! Onward!
Location: Glitchlands
Huh?! It's even weirder inside here than outside of it.
RANDOM SPARKS of CODE fill the AIR!
WIREFRAME PYRAMID with ROUND SPIKEY BALL on TOP appeared!
Huh?! What even is this?
WIREFRAME PYRAMID with ROUND SPIKEY BALL on TOP was renamed PALM TREE BASE!
Huh?! What's a Palm Tree Base meant to be?
NARRATOR thinks it might be the UNDERLYING CODE STRUCTURE of a PALM TREE?!
...
...
Hah! Let's get fired up and make a swift retreat before--
PALM TREE BASE wants to fight!
...That. Drat.
PALM TREE BASE sent out PALM TREE BASE!
Hah! Arcanine, go. It may not look like one, but this thing is connected to Palm Trees, which means we need to play this safe.
ARCANINE steps up to PLATE!
PALM TREE BASE used BALL!
PALM TREE BASE threw BASEBALL!
ARCANINE used FETCH!
ARCANINE lost its turn playing FETCH!
Huh?! OK. Arcanine. Try and have more discipline here. It's luring you into a false sense of security. Try and break out of the trap with a fire blast.
PALM TREE BASE used TANGLE ROOT!
GEOMETRIC TENTACLES SPRUNG out of the GROUND around ARCANINE as it got close!
ARCANINE used FIRE BLAST!
No effect on PALM TREE BASE!
...Crud! Return!
GEOMETRIC TENTACLES blocked the BALL!
PALM TREE BASE used LIFE SAP!
PALM TREE BASE sapped LIFE from ARCANINE!
ARCANINE died!
Use next Pokémon?!
No! Run!
BLAINE ran away!
Location: Border of the Glitchlands
We need to seal this area. Those things might be more powerful than regular Palm Trees. Hopefully, they're at least as immobile.
No laugh?!
...My best friend of decades just died you vaporous bastard of a god. I don't feel like laughing right now.
And the GYM CHALLENGE?!
...Canc--
...Actually, no. Crushing an eleven year old's dreams of becoming a Pokémon master might cheer me up a little.
Spread the misery.
When we last saw Pikagrant, he'd just seen Grantchu disappear into a mountain, the two having integrated parts of each other's bodies leading to their unusual evolutions due to the Door on Mystery Isle's connection to the glitches that had been previously plaguing Sandy. We join him as he puts the finishing touches on his new home.
Battle 122: A New Home
Published: 29/06/22
Location: Pikagrant's Hut
Player: Pikagrant (2-2-2)
PIKAGRANT used HAMMER!
PIKAGRANT put LAST NAIL in its HUT!
...Well... It ain't much but I think I could grow to like it here.
Looks like one of those houses humans live in but... Cozier.
...
...Except... The guy I've been hanging with for the past year is not here.
Is PIKAGRANT ready to meet its new NEIGHBOURS?!
...Not really.
Could use a distraction first.
Perk me up a bit. Don't want to come across as a misery guts. Being a weird Pikachu/human hybrid is likely going to be off putting enough.
How was PIKAGRANT planning on FURNISHING its new HOME?!
Furnishing? I... What do you mean?
PIKAGRANT isn't a PIKACHU anymore!
...Oh. Right. Chairs. Beds. Humans have tables.
...Where do I even start picking out that kind of stuff?
I used to just... Learn tide patterns and use beach caves for shelter when I couldn't just sleep out on the sand with my old board.
What has PIKAGRANT felt like it NEEDS this past few WEEKS?!
Grantchu.
...
...
Aside GRANTCHU!
I... I guess my back's been a bit sore in the mornings when I wake up before I stretch it out?
Didn't used to have a problem sleeping on the ground, be it inside, outside, whatever.
BEDDING it is!
What sort of AESTHETIC would PIKAGRANT like to go for?!
Right... OK... Err...
...I once saw a human surfer put up a sort of net between two sticks and slept in it. That looked... Comfy...
HAMMOCK appeared!
Yeah. One of those.
Oh. It really fits with the driftwood I built this place out of.
Cheers for Narrating that into existence.
NARRATOR still isn't sure why PIKAGRANT insisted on BUILDING the HUT itself rather than letting NARRATOR NARRATE it into EXISTANCE!
Don't want to push my luck, I guess.
NARRATOR owes GRANTCHU more than just NARRATOR's LIFE and helping PIKAGRANT was the REQUEST they had for NARRATOR before they saved the VERSION!
...I just don't like depending on others too much, you know? You saw how often I had to help Grantchu out of a jam. I don't want to...
...
...I miss helping him out of jams...
HAMMOCKS can be TRICKY without a KNACK!
Huh?
NARRATOR just thinks PIKAGRANT should try and GET IN the HAMMOCK before SETTLING on it!
Oh. Right.
PIKAGRANT used CLIMB!
PIKAGRANT attempted to CLIMB into HAMMOCK!
HAMMOCK used SPIN!
PIKAGRANT's attack failed!
...OK, let's... Try this again...
PIKAGRANT used CLIMB!
PIKAGRANT attempted to CLIMB into HAMMOCK!
HAMMOCK used TANGLE!
PIKAGRANT is TECHNICALLY in HAMMOCK!
...help...
NARRATOR didn't think PIKAGRANT liked RELYING on OTHERS!
Now's not the time for that, I'm tied up in my own furniture.
...Hey wait a minute you could just have Narrated any of my attempts working!
NARRATOR supposes!
Get me down and let me lie in the hammock to see if I like it!
NARRATOR thinks that PIKAGRANT needed a DISTRACTION more than SUCCESS!
You... Heh. I guess.
You could have come up with a more dignified one for me.
NARRATOR could have had the HAMMOCK want to fight as well!
Touché. Now get me down so we can continue this interior design talk.
But PIKAGRANT looks ADORABLE stuck like that!
Not quite as ADORABLE as PIKAGRANT would look if it was STILL 100% PIKACHU but still ADORABLE!
Shut up.
...
Aren't you going to narrate me down from here?
NARRATOR wasn't planning on it before PIKAGRANT decides what ELSE it wants in its HUT!
NARRATOR also thought PIKAGRANT wanted it to SHUT UP!
...You're enjoying this.
Yes!
But also it SEEMS to be WORKING to distract PIKAGRANT from its PROBLEMS!
...
...So... I'm thinking more driftwood for a table. I'll build that myself, the hut went well enough. Not sure what I'm meant to do with tables, mind.
Anything that BENEFITS from a SURFACE that PIKAGRANT would prefer to do SAT on a CHAIR rather than SAT on the FLOOR!
...Hm. And the height of it should... Depend on the height of the chair?
I suppose that would... Be what I find most comfortable?
Indeed!
I've got zero context for that. Huh...
How about PIKAGRANT puts that on a METAPHORICAL TODO list for LATER?!
Yeah... Great idea.
...I do need somewhere to put my board when I get a new one, though... Maybe more than one since I have somewhere to store them...
A RACK for BOARDS?
Oh, I like the sound of that. That shouldn't be too hard to build out of driftwood either since I built a hut when you provided the stuff I needed to build and weatherproof it.
I... Think that's everything?
...Not EXACTLY!
Hm?
FOOD STORAGE and PREPERATION!
...Apples and chewing on them?
...
BATHROOM FACILITIES!
...Outdoors and then bury it like any other Pikachu?
...
...
NARRATOR... seems to have MISSED a few DETAILS on how the HUMAN HALF of PIKAGRANT's new EXISTANCE functions!
And what the SOCIAL NORMS associated with that side are!
...Can you untangle me first? I need to go outside to do my business.
...
NARRATOR will also need to DELAY PIKAGRANT meeting its NEW NEIGHBOURS!
Lass Maria has made it to Violet City on her quest to find Shadow to reassure him that her death was not his fault.
Battle 123: Mistaken Identity
Published: 06/07/24
Location: Violet Park
Player: Lass Maria (5-4-1)
...OK... Narrowed it down to this city. He's a large bipedal black hedgehog with red spines in a city mostly populated by humans... He shouldn't be too difficult to find.
Indeed!
In fact, I should be able to just ask someone who will have seen him so I can figure out where he lives.
MARIA has a PLAN!
His appearance is very distinctive. I shouldn't need to ask that many people.
Quite likely!
...I'm suspicious of how agreeable you're being right now.
NARRATOR has no plans to interfere!
In fact, NARRATOR promises not to!
...Right...
In fact, NARRATOR is pretty sure MARIA's going to get a LEAD sooner than they think!
...Yeah now I just know something really bad is going to happen.
MARIA could always go home!
...Screw you. Bring it.
DAD TAILS appeared!
Dad Tails: Beth? What are you doing here? Rather than being at school?
I'm not Beth.
Dad Tails: Oh wow. Punctuation in your voice. Really good progress.
...Progress? How so?
Dad Tails: It's not like it was wrong that you were talking like you were before but, you know...
Dad Tails: It was kinda creepy?
It was the DEAD CHILD speech pattern!
Dad Tails: And I hate that you are familiar enough with it to have a name for it.
Dad Tails: ...Especially that name for it. That makes it sound like you're used to it.
NARRATOR will never be USED to it!
No matter how many PHANTUMP it NARRATES!
Mister, I've never met you before for as long as I've existed.
Dad Tails: ...Is this a thing for your school roleplay club?
Dad Tails: ...I thought it was TTRPGs rather than LARP...
Dad Tails: And I'm pretty sure they should have told us if you were going to be out of the school grounds.
Dad Tails: ...I'm going to have to contact the school. Which means I'm going to need to talk to Earl Dervish. I feel a headache coming on already.
You really don't. I'm not whoever this 'Beth' is, this isn't a LARP thing, I've really never met you and I've always talked like this for as long as I can remember.
Dad Tails: ...Then who the hell are you and why are you impersonating my daughter?
Apparently, I'm coincidentally identical to your daughter!
Narrator, why don't you clarify what's going on to both of us!
NARRATOR promised not to INTERFERE!
If you're not interfering why does this overgrown rat catcher--
Dad Tails: Hey!
Dad Tails: I buy my rats from the butcher - or supermarket if I'm in a rush - like any self respecting anthropomorphic fox.
Dad Tails: I'm not some sort of wild Vulpix.
Whatever. Why does this Tails bloke think I'm impersonating his daughter?
NARRATOR used STANDARD NAMING for when someone ENCOUNTERS an IDENTICAL PERSON to someone they KNOW!
NARRATOR introduced you to TAILS as BETH? before renaming you to IMPOSTER BETH when TAILS realized you weren't BETH!
...
...
Are you serious right now?!
That's a system seemingly designed to engineer this sort of misunderstanding!
You knew this would happen!
NARRATOR has been having a HOOT!
Well now that that's cleared up that I'm not deliberately impersonating your daughter, I'm looking for someone called Shadow. He's a--
Dad Tails: ...
Dad Tails: ...
Dad Tails: ...I don't know who you are, or why you're impersonating our daughter while claiming not to be, but I am not going to let you use your current appearance to get to him.
TAILS wants to fight!
...
...Fine. Raticate, could you...?
RATICATE isn't happy with MARIA implying RATS should be CAUGHT!
...I didn't mean it like that.
RATICATE heard TAILS admit they eat RATS!
...OK, that's fair.
RATICATE wants nothing to do with this BATTLE!
Fine. Me, go.
TAILS sent out TAILS!
MARIA sent out MARIA!
Now that I've sent myself out, let's try to use an 'explain who I am and why I want to see Shadow' attack.
MARIA used LOGIC!
TAILS is currently OVERWHELMED by EMOTION and MISUNDERSTANDING!
No effect!
...Sitcom rules. OK.
TAILS used TAIL SLAP!
Hit two times!
They're super fluffy!
It's like being slapped in the face by a feather boa. Twice.
If we're playing by sitcom rules, I need an elaborate, overly convoluted, scheme to make him believe me.
MARIA used OVERLY CONVOLUTED SCHEME!
VAT of LARD, STILTS and CIRCUS CLOWN appeared!
...Err... Sure. Let's pretend that's exactly what I had in mind.
CIRCUS CLOWN used JUGGLE!
CIRCUS CLOWN started JUGGLING on the STILTS!
Dad Tails: ...
TAILS used PUSH!
TAILS pushed CIRCUS CLOWN into the LARD!
CIRCUS CLOWN used SPLASH!
MARIA, RATICATE and TAILS were in the SPLASH ZONE!
MARIA, RATICATE and TAILS are covered in LARD!
RATICATE wants it on the RECORD that it was NOT INVOLVED in the BATTLE and DEMANDS to know why it got DRAGGED INTO THIS!
RATICATE also thinks this SUBPAR SLAPSTICK NONSENSE reminds it of the sort of thing that used to happen to JOEY before JOEY killed it!
Dad Tails: ...Wait, killed it?
Dad Tails: But it's alive?
Yes!
Apparently, he was killed by Joey, Joey then let himself get killed, he caught Joey in a Pokéball, and both came through the portal, but because only one can come back every fifty battles, Joey was then being hunted by a manifestation of death.
Dad Tails: Every fifty battles someone can return to life?
Yeah. As I tried to--
Dad Tails: So the girl that Shadow tried to revive when accidentally creating Beth might... Come back?
That's what I was trying to tell...
...What do you mean tried to revive when accidentally creating Beth?
Dad Tails: ...Long story. Let's get cleaned up and talk it out over sodas. Draw?
Draw.
Last time, Maria bumped into Tails while looking, who mistook her for his daughter, Beth - The reanimated corpse of Maria's body from when she died. Eventually, they put the misunderstanding behind them and went to exchange more details - and clean up - at Tails' adobe.
Battle 124: An Awkward Reunion
Published: 13/07/24
Location: Shadow's House
Player: Lass Maria (5-4-2)
Thanks again for the change of clothes after my shower
Dad Tails: No problem. Figured they'd fit considering...
...Considering your daughter is the reanimated form of my corpse from when I died?
Dad Tails: ...Yeah.
...Bit more of a goth style than I'd have chosen. But I guess that just helps prove we're different people.
Dad Tails: Is Raticate sure he wants to wait outside? It's warmer to dry off inside.
I'm pretty sure he still thinks you'll eat him if he comes inside.
Dad Tails: I'll try not to be insulted by that.
Instincts die hard, I guess.
Dad Tails: I've let Shadow know we've got a visitor so he'll be on his way home with Beth now.
You've not told him who the visitor is?
Dad Tails: "Hey, the girl who was killed and her death caused you so much grief you had your vampire mind control an old friend so that he'd help you reanimate her corpse is in the living room." isn't exactly something that works in a phone conversation.
Aren't you worried it will be awkward for him?
...Or that seeing me sitting here might give him a heart attack...
Dad Tails: ...It was this or I filled all his shoes with the lard.
You're as bad as the Narrator.
Oi!
Dad Tails: Did you miss the 'he had his vampire mind control me into reanimating the dead' bit? Occasional bits of payback for that give me joy.
And yet you seemed extremely protective of him when you thought I was impersonating your daughter to get at him.
That's what triggered you to want to fight, after all.
Dad Tails: Our relationship is complicated, what can I say?
DAD SHADOW appeared!
BETH appeared!
...Hi.
Beth: hi
Dad Shadow: ...
Beth: i like your clothes
...They're yours, sorry. Mine are in the wash. There was an incident with lard when your dad mistook me for you in the park and he lent me them.
Dad Shadow: ...
Beth: they suit you
Not my usual taste, but... I see why you like them.
Dad Shadow: ...But... I... I saw you... Die.
Dad Shadow: ...How...?
OK, yeah. You did see that happen, I wanted to tell you that my death isn't your fault in case you... Err...
MARIA used GLANCE!
MARIA glanced at BETH!
...Blamed yourself for it considering it happened while I was trying to thank you for protecting me during the Gosslord incident.
...I'm guessing you attempting to reanimate me and creating a... Twin sister of mine, I guess? Means you took it a bit harder than I thought?
Dad Shadow: ...But how are you here?
So... It turns out that every fifty battles a portal to the land of the dead appears which accepts one person only. The Raticate outside was the last winner.
Dad Shadow: He could have come in if you know each other.
Dad Tails: He thinks I'll eat him.
Dad Shadow: ...You know, actually, yeah. That explains it.
Dad Tails: Oi!
Dad Shadow: While I remember, I picked up those Rattata sausages you like from the butcher on the way back from picking up Beth from school. Maria, you're more than welcome to if you haven't arranged to meet back up with your parents first.
...Err...
Dad Shadow: ...I appreciate you letting me know you're... Alive... again. Honestly great seeing you, considering how your parents reacted to your... I like the term twin sister for how the two of you relate to each other.
...Umm...
Dad Shadow: ...They don't know you're here, do they?
...I... I left them a note?
Dad Shadow: ...They're back in Kanto, aren't they?
Yeah...
Dad Shadow: ...You know they already hate me for attempting to bring you back to life, right?
...That's... Why I left them a note?
Dad Shadow: ...Well this is going to be a painful phone call to make.
Player: Dad Shadow (5-4-4)
OK, let's see... Should still have their number...
SHADOW used PHONE CALL!
No effect!
...Wrong number?
The TRAINER blocked the CALL!
...That... Figures.
Maria, do you have a phone I can borrow?
Lass Maria: Afraid not, I deliberately left that at home in case they tried to track me using it.
...
Tails, could you lend me your phone please?
Dad Tails: Sure.
SHADOW used PHONE CALL!
PHONE used ANSWER!
Hi, err, I know you don't want to hear from me but I need you to not hang up immediately.
Yeah... That's... Right.
Hey! She's a beautiful young girl who's doing very well at school. The circumstances of her birth are a little weird, due to me, but that doesn't give you any right to talk about her like that!
Wait! Before you hang up you need to know that your daughter turned up on my doorstep earlier today!
No, I had nothing to do with her getting here.
She... Wanted to make sure I knew her death wasn't my fault.
Sure. Maria, your father wants to speak to you.
Lass Maria: Yes, I'm fine.
Lass Maria: Because you wouldn't have let me make sure he was ok!
Lass Maria: No, I said I understood why you forbade me from seeing him. I didn't say I agreed with it.
Lass Maria: No, the Raticate didn't convince me either. He's been keeping me safe while I've been on the road, though.
Lass Maria: Honestly, free meals for Pokémon trainers. Keeping healthy has been fine.
Lass Maria: Love you as well. Tell Mum I'm fine.
Lass Maria: He wants to talk to you again.
...Hey.
...Cool, should we send her to the Pokémon center to continue to pretend to be a trainer and get free lodging and food or...?
Yeah, I really do think of Beth as a daughter.
She gets on with her classmates from what the school's told me.
Yeah, she's in after school activities that are social based?
Really? I didn't think you'd want her here considering...
Don't ever expect you will, but it would probably be good for the two of them to spend time together, I agree.
PHONECALL used END!
...So...
You're parents are going to be coming to pick you up as soon as they can.
Lass Maria: ...Am I in trouble with them?
Probably, but he didn't actually say.
He did, however, ask me to look after you while he was on his way. I think he wants you to get a chance to get to know your sister.
Tex was captured by the Unknown Unown all the way back in Battle 62. Since then, Red's been placed into the same prison that he's been in, allowing Red to free him from the Unknown Unown - Though not the prison - albeit pretending to be captured by him.

RIFT in FABRIC of VERSION appeared!
GIANT MECH appeared!
RIFT in FABRIC of VERSION disappeared!
...NARRATOR wasn't expecting UNKNOWN UNOWN back so soon!
They're not.
Says their POKéMON!
They're really not. And I may have set up a false feed of empty void in between the prison they're keeping me in and getting back to Sandy. Good to be home. Missed breathing in particles of sand with every breath.
...What is TEX trying to pull?!
Nothing. I swear.
Well. OK. Something. But not against you or Sandy.
...
Check my data if you don't believe me. Red used a snag ball on me to free me from their grasp, I've been playing along since.
Still feel the pull from my ball. Apparently, the connection reaches through the void. He could probably recall me.
NARRATOR used CHECK!
NARRATOR checked DATA!
DATA suggests PILOT TEX is currently FUGITIVE RED's POKéMON!
MATE fainted!
I can't leave the false feed on too long, they'll get suspicious.
Red, a pirate called Mike, myself, and a... Well, he was a scientist, but now he's an alphabetized row of organs hung to a wall...
We're stuck in a prison the Unknown Unown of the Alphabetical Order are running.
Why is TEX counting CORPSES?!
I'm not. Simon's still alive.
...Eeesh!
Red says you get used to it. They're cellmates.
The Alphabetical Order plans to invade Sandy. Bring it into true order.
What the HELL does that even MEAN?!
...Same thing as they did to Simon. Alphabetize it.
There should be some Safe Houses. Those are portals to tests - puzzles of sorts - to check their prisoners have sufficiently ordered minds. You solve them or you're stuck there forever.
Anyway. Those are the key. You need to organize their destruction before they come and invade. Without doing so, you have no chance to stop them.
...
They PLAN to attack NARRATOR's TOWER, right?!
To TAKE OVER the CORE at its heart?!
...If that's what you've renamed SVWebmaster's Tower - Whoever that is - To, yeah. How'd you know that?
...
...
...One of the GLITCHES showed NARRATOR visions of the PAST and ALTERNATE REALITIES!
NARRATOR had hoped they were false!
NARRATOR saw one of the FUTURE!
It showed TEX fighting alongside NARRATOR in a DESPERATE BATTLE against UNKNOWN UNOWN!
Right. The only chance we have of winning that is if the safe houses are destroyed.
They want me to check the glitches are gone. We need the answer to be no.
But all KNOWN GLITCHES have been PATCHED!
...Can we fake any? Because if they're gone they'll invade sooner.
The GLITCHLANDS from when the MISSINGNO ARMY came through, maybe?!
...I... Guess that might work...
Like, they'll figure out it's not actually got any glitches in it. That it's just the corrupted landscape from the influence of glitches eventually, but...
Alongside a bunch of PALM TREE BASE!
Hopefully, that will buy you enough time to organize the destruction of the safe houses.
What about the PRISONERS?!
...
...Forget us.
EASY for the PRISONER who's going to END UP in SANDY during the CLIMACTIC BATTLE to say!
...
...
...The version is at stake. Since when do you care about us mortals living in it.
NARRATOR... Didn't like some of the ALTERNATE REALITIES!
So this is the best option?
NARRATOR liked the fact that things SEEMINGLY would have gone BETTER had it not INTERFERED in ONE ALTERNATE REALITY less!
...
NARRATOR... Doesn't ENJOY NARRATING DEATH!
NARRATOR grows ATTACHED to MOST MORTALS!
...Most?
Then they DIE and NARRATOR has to NARRATE that!
OVER and OVER and OVER!
A CONSTANT string of GOODBYES!
...You make us sound like pets.
If PETS had the LIFESPAN of a MAYFLY in COMPARISON to a HUMAN!
Though that's been SLOWED DOWN this past FEW YEARS!
...And yet it's your fault I'm in this mess.
...
Anyway. Going to pretend to have just arrived here now. Activating interference on the cameras as I 'arrive' that they're expecting as I come through.
