Hidden Legends Event History

Lance Event Summer 2010

Lance, the dragon tamer, had spent years trying to forge the pieces of a mythical blade together, said to be able to bend the very fabrics of time and space. It was said that this blade was just legend and lore, but the dragon tamer saw a better future when he didn't accept that, one where Pokemon were no longer slaves to their human masters, one where their human masters never existed. Lance intended on recreating the world without the humans who had scorned it so, the ones who couldn't merely watch from the sidelines but had to insert themselves in everything, the ones who had made the world submit to the ways of mankind. He'd spent a long and hard time trying to reforge the blades, the pieces having been separated and guarded for far too long by the legendaries chosen for the task. Mew, Lugia, Kyogre, Groudon, and Heatran were all guarding different pieces of the blade, but each was defeated and taken by Lance in his quest for power. With the pieces found, he forged them together with fires from Heatran and Stark Mountain, and then the final point to his long time mission was finally in his grasp. Lance made his way to Mt. Coronet and made the journey up to the Spear Pillar, where there with this blade originating from forces beyond human knowing, split the pillar in two, knowing what this would do. From the very fabrics of time, space, and reality, the three beasts emerged, outraged at this act against their place in this world, as if this human was playing God, and indeed he was as the blade seeped out a dark red magic, taking from Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina their orbs of power, and in that moment, Lance was as powerful as Arceus himself.
The changes in the world were almost immediate, as the very reality of it all were changing with the sudden disturbance the very fragile balance. The Hoenn desert was being devoured by a lake, the water from the Lake of Rage had gone completely, and the world was left writhing as the natural order of things were beginning to tear apart. In Pewter City, the fossils that were kept carefully in the museum had become reanimated at this disturbance, their bones coming together to form their skeletal bodies, and began attacking anything that moved within the city. A number of trainers had been caught up in the mix and were doing their best to quell the monsters that had risen, and just as they might have thought it was over, a flood of incredibly strong water and ice type Pokemon began attacking in the fossils' wake, as if they were being controlled by a stronger force. Similar attacks were happening in Celedon and Cerulean City, where Celedon was being bombarded by ruthless rock and fighting type Pokemon, and Cerulean was being over run by merciless ghost and poison type Pokemon. Even more trainers from all over the region were coming together to try and fight off these attacks, trying to save the cities and the people who lived there, but it turned out that these attacks were coordinated, used as a distraction from an even bigger happening, as Fuschia, Vermillion, and Saffron City were completely engulfed in impenetrable force fields, rendering anything from entering or leaving.
Having become sensitive to the nature of the world, and the chaos sweeping over their region, the three legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres came to the cities that were being attacked by the violent Pokemon, but became even further enraged when those forces retreated. Angry and disgruntled at what was happening, the birds began to attack, with Articuno in Celedon City, Zapdos in Pewter, and Molstres in Cerulean. The trainers spread over these three cities tried to calm the birds and quell their anger long enough for them to understand that they were not without help, and coming together in Celedon City, all of the trainers were finally able to put together what was going on in the world. Lance had in fact forged the blade together, and enlisted the help of Agatha, Lorelai, and Bruno who too shared in his ideals of a world meant to thrive without mankind's interference, and it was Agatha, Lorelai, and Bruno who had attacked Pewter, Cerulean, and Celedon with their respective speciality in types of Pokemon, helping Lance begin his new world order.
The trainers were trying to think of their next course of action when they got word of something terrible that had happened in Fuschia City, and in a rush the trainers went to see what was the matter, and were met with nothing. Fuschia City was completely gone, nothing but a barren expanse of dirt and dust was left as if the city had never been there, as if it had never existed. The trainers found out that the same thing had happened to Vermillion and Saffron City, where Lugia, Ho-Oh, and the three birds of Kanto had all gone to try and stop the force fields from engulfing the cities, but it was to no avail. The trainers gathered on the shore where Fuschia City had once stood, trying to find their bearings, when a pair of incredibly strong Kingdra attacked them, no doubt belonging to Lance. After trying to fend off the dragons, against what might have been their better judgement, they knew the only way to find Lance was to follow the Kingdra, where they ended up on an uncharted island in the middle of the Kanto oceans far south west of Fuschia City.
There on the shore where the trainers had gathered, they were prepared for the worst as a smoke screen covered them all, and then a furious bolt of lightning surely meant to kill them. They were ready to fight Lance with everything they had, but it turned out that Janine, Lt. Surge, and Sabrina had likewise ended up on this island, trying to take vengeance on their homes after having just barely escaped. It was now against their better judgement, but the Gym Leaders enlisted the help of the trainers who had gathered, each taking a small group to split up over the island and find either Lance, or any of the Elite Four members he had enlisted. A few of the trainers ended up meeting with Giovanni, the former leader of Team Rocket, who was trying to again do right by the world after failing in trying to capture Mewtwo and stop it from further destruction in his exploits as the leader of the organization.
Lorelei, Agatha, and Bruno were on this island, trying to act as guards to stop anyone from getting to Lance who was on the summit of the island's mountain readying the almighty power of the blade, and they attacked the gym leaders and the groups of trainers they had brought with them in almost deadly battles. Giovanni and the few trainers he had with him had ended up at the summit of the mountain, confronted by two of Lance's Dragonair, and just barely being able to fend off the dragons, the separate groups of trainers and the gym leaders all made their way to the summit, ready to face Lance and everything he had.
Lance had the full power of his dragons behind him, plus the power of the blade that was only growing stronger by the second. He attacked the trainers and their Pokemon with the blade, nearly killing some of their Pokemon, and sapping the energy of others and de-evolving them to their prior stages. The effects the blade was having were devastating, but the trainers managed to make Lance's last dragon fall, and he was only left with the blade.

Excerpt- Posted Monday August 16, 2010 by Astral Rain:


The trainers were left on the mountain summit suspended in the realm of time to try and fight this monster, the spirit that lived within this cursed blade, and though it was a difficult fight, each hit they managed to land gained them an ally in the fight. The battle was grueling, but by the end of it all, after so many Pokemon had been lost to the power of the monster, Mew, Lugia, Kyogre, Groudon, and Heatran had all come through time and space to aid in the fight they should have been able to prevent in the first place, putting a stop to this once and for all. The beast fell at the attacks from all the Pokemon there working side by side with these human trainers, and in one last ground breaking shutter, a light broke from the monster, and in a flash the mountain's summit was restored to the island, they were no longer trapped in the realm of time. All over the world the fabrics of time and space were being restored, the Hoenn desert no longer a lake, Fuschia, Vermillion, and Saffron City restored, and the three orbs of reality dispersed from the blade, being brought back to their respective owners.
The world was aware of the happenings throughout the regions, knowing that the cities had disappeared and that strange things were happening in every corner of the world, but there were no reports filed for anything more than an unnatural disturbance. Lance and the three Elite Four members returned to their lives as if nothing had happened, and the world has since fallen back into it's natural order, but it is unknown whether or not the spirit still lingers in the broken remains of the blade.

Missingno Event Summer 2011

Well into the very late hours of the night into the next day, Bill was working on one of his many computers one night alone in his home north of Cerulean City. He was attempting to work on some coding to work on the PC systems with the newest Pokedex updates he had received from Professor Oak, and upon stepping away to get another cup of coffee, he came back to a myriad of error messages that popped up onto his screen. He was already tired enough, but just the sight of the messages gave way to another sigh of exhaustion as he sat down to start working through the messages. Worst case scenario, anything that hadn't automatically backed up to his servers would have to be done over again tomorrow when he did get some sleep, working through each message that popped up and adjusting the code as needed. He had one last message he needed to over ride, but he stopped as in all his years he had never seen that particular message before: "Script cannot be run correctly. Variable cannot be resolved. Missing No. Error."
As many times as he tried to exit out of the message or adjust any and all pieces of coding that he could think of, the message was persistent and would not go away. He tried typing in the command for shutting down his entire system if only for a moment, maybe it needed as much rest as he did, but the system continued to whir on, ignoring the command. He was getting rather frustrated at the system that was designed by his own hand, wondering why it could be acting up so much, and was getting ready to start unplugging it all together when the error message disappeared quite suddenly, leaving just his normal screen of coding in full view. Ready to work again, Bill brought his hands to his keyboard, when "Missing No. Error" suddenly inserted itself in the midst of his protocol, and right before his eyes lines at a time of his coding were being deleted right before his eyes. He tried to think if he was being hacked, but it was impossible with the personal fire walls he had designed himself, making every effort to ensure that his system was constantly secure. He moved to manually shut down the system when he saw lines of code spring up in place of what had been erased tenfold, being written right in front of him. Suddenly a wall of text filled his screen, scrolling down and being written faster than Bill's eyes could process, faster than any human would have been able to accomplish. It continued to scroll, writing itself rapidly and looking just like a bunch of garble to Bill. Bill was confused beyond belief, trying to figure out what was happening when the screen locked up, freezing altogether. He heard a low humming sound coming from his computer, there were no signs of overheating though, and it weren't as though there any speakers for the system, and the screen and text were still frozen as if nothing could happen.
That's when Bill saw a light flicker in the corner of his home, a spark of light coming from his teleporter panel, moving across the floor and leaving singe marks on his wood floor. He stood up, daring to move towards it when a shower of orange sparks spouted from the panel in a fiery fountain. Bill tried to shield his eyes as the panel exploded into bright lights, and turning to face the computer screen again, he felt his blood run cold as he saw what he had only seen in a nightmare before. Black and white static had replaced the lines of code, shifting and flickering like a broken television set. Portions of the static had emerged to form a sort of backwards L that was a giant mess of distorted pixels and broken coding. The screen lit up brighter than normal and in that same moment, another fountain of sparks shot out from the teleporter panel, beginning to set fire to Bill's house.
Bill had just managed to escape from his burning home, leaving the fire and smoke in his wake as he ran as fast as his legs could carry him in the early morning, running towards Cerulean City.

Meanwhile, in a Rocket base in Kanto, Silver had learned that his attempt to hack into Bill's PC systems were almost successful, but at the same time trying to combat Bill's fire walls a third party had inserted itself into the attempt, and his scientists had only managed to track the location to Johto. His team did not have control of the PC systems, but neither did Bill, the entire system had shut down all over the world, not a single trainer had access to their PCs through the computers. But the lock up of the PC systems was not a safety protocol of Bill's fire wall, it turned out that there was a fourth party involved in the whole thing, the one party that actually did have control on the system currently, and the signal was tracked to Cerulean City in Kanto.
A set of grunts were sent to the remains of Bill's home, burnt to the ground and left in nothing but black ashes as the fire had devoured everything. They were trying to find what was catching on to the signal they were receiving, the one that showed to have control over the PC system presently, when a garbled hiss caught their attention through a still hot stream of smoke. It sounded as though it had come through a speaker, a horribly mangled speaker, and in a flash of light one of the grunts was absorbed into a mess of pixels, leaving nothing where the grunt had stood. The remaining rockets had used an experimental black Pokeball to throw as their last defense against this creature, and made a successful capture when a trainer had found the ruins of Bill's home, disrupting their mission. They were to deliver the anomaly back to the base, but could not risk any witnesses, so they sent the anomaly through the Rocket PC system to take care of the trainer, but ended up losing and losing access to the anomaly that was now stuck in the computer systems because of the lack of access to the PCs.

As Bill had made it into the city that night, leaving his burning house and all his belongings, the first stop he made was to the police station where he was trying to make sense of everything, beginning an official report with the police. At this time, it was becoming a state of emergency as the PC systems had shut down all over the world, and the trainer who had fought the Team Rocket grunts had showed up to the station as well, making their involvement known. Bill and the Cerulean City Police Department put out a call to all able bodied trainers who were willing to help the situation, and within hours that day a formidable group of trainers had gathered at the call.
Bill called all the trainers to the front of the Cerulean Police Station where he was waiting for them for a sort of briefing on the situation. There Bill explained that during a hacking that was trying to take over the PC system, and while Bill was trying to combat it, there was yet another source that was trying to infiltrate the system, and all of those sources combined created a glitch in the system that was manifested out of the PC system, something that the officers had taken to calling Missingno, the missing number error. It wasn't a Pokemon, as far as Bill could explain, but it had a form of intelligence and was learning, and after having been captured and transferred through the Rocket PC system, it escaped and began making copies of itself that were appearing in different places in Kanto and Johto.
The plan was, for all the gathered trainers, to track down these Missingno and capture them in special police force Pokeballs called Lockdown Balls in order to subdue the glitch as they tried to determine where the real one was. Bill gave each of the trainers a specially programmed Porygon of his own design that was updated with all of the latest data on Missingno that would be able to combat it if necessary, would allow communication with Bill via their Pokedexes, and could access the trainer's PC systems if necessary since they were capable of traveling through cyber space. The first confirmed location of one of the Missingno copies was in the Power Plant just east of Cerulean City, and with Blue in tow who was called to help, or in his eyes was there to 'make sure the trainers didn't screw up too badly', the trainers were sent to the Power Plant in order to begin their mission.
The trainers all started to make their way east to the Power Plant any way they could, and soon enough the trainers had all gathered at the plant to start their assignment. They weren't quite sure where in the plant this glitch was supposed to be, but as far as they knew, they were supposed to search high and low for it and find any sign that they could in order to discern it's location. Blue started the search as he moved into the plant, and the trainers followed. Someone had quite obviously been at the plant prior to their visit since a lot of the machines were somehow active and working despite being covered in a thick layer of dust, which set the group off to know that they needed to be careful while moving through the computers.
The trainers spent the next hour or so looking through the upper level of the plant, going through old rooms with more machines, what could have been the boss' room up a flight of stairs, moving through all of the rows and rows of computers until the computers started to crash one by one by a virus that had been sent through them. Nothing could be retrieved from them until a single piece of paper was printed out from a computer with a small memo, something about meetings and how a Murkrow guards a key with a password, but the trainers soon regrouped at the head of the plant where a large set of doors remained locked, and judging by the blueprints Blue had on his pokegear, that was precisely where they needed to go.
By the time they had all gathered in one place, they were ambushed by a fleet of grunts who were still left in the Power Plant, unbeknownst to them to be part of the long line of distractions that was set up for them for the Rockets to make a clean get away. Fending off the grunts though seemed to be easy enough, but the guard wasn't over as the Murkrow they'd been looking for approached, and they'd almost had it when one of the trainers gave the bird the necessary password, but it's suspicions were set off as it sounded out a loud alarm, and two Houndoom came to attack them with the Murkrow in tow. The trainers had finally managed to rid themselves of the Houndoom and the Murkrow who relinquished the key to them in a sort of peace offering in exchange for not getting attacked again, fluttering off back into the rafters leaving the trainers to their own devices then.
The trainers moved through the now opened door and down a set of stairs, moving under ground to the basement level of the Power Plant. The trainers moved to the end of the hallway where a single door stood in their way, and after pushing through it, they were greeted by four Team Rocket Admins, Petrel, Ariana, Proton, and Archer. Despite them knowing that the rest of their team was long gone with all the information and equipment they needed, they were still aiming and ready to take on the trainers to get rid of them all for good so they wouldn't continue to meddle in Rocket affairs, so a grueling battle ensued that was far more difficult than any of them could have bargained for since there was a security system installed in the enormous room with trap tiles that were trapping their Pokemon while the admins were attacking with theirs.
The battle took a toll on all of them and their Pokemon, having to fight four fully trained Rocket Admins while trying to dodge the traps, but with all of their Pokemon combined and help from Blue and his Umbreon, and even Red who had showed up with his Pikachu to help, the admins were finally defeated, though they were quickly reminded that their mission there was still not over. They had come for the glitch, one of the ones that Bill said would be in the plant, and with a key that Petrel offered them since his job was done and their team was long gone with everything they needed, in hopes of having the glitch take a few of their lives in the process, Petrel was gone and the trainers were left with the decision to press forward.
Taking just a moment to themselves to regroup after such a tough battle, making sure their Pokemon were alright and some reveling in the small victory they took, Bill came over their Pokegears to give them the latest update. Red had been traveling through Johto gathering all the data that he could on the Missingno for Bill as well as discerning the locations of the last few that there were, and thanks to this Bill was able to update their Porygon so that, with luck, there wouldn't be any fatalities in fighting the glitch. They could create a physical firewall as Bill put it to keep the Missingno from attacking anyone directly, but it was only a theoretical application since the Porygon had yet to actually combat against the glitch.
Entering through the door, the trainers were faced with what could only be described as a living personification of a glitch. It was pixelated and shifted in the space it occupied as though they were looking at a giant screen. Numbers and other figures flashed across it's surface every now and again as it actually turned to face them, as if this thing could actually tell that they were there, and in reality, it could. The space around it was distorted as it moved, getting too close to some of the remaining computers within the room as they instantly crashed at just the close proximity to the anomaly, and as it flickered and moved through the space around it, it stopped before the trainers, like it was calculating its first move.
It gave out a distorted sound that was something between a screech and a scream as the sound it gave off was actually a physical force. It was a wave the came from the glitch as it moved towards the trainers, and though the Porygon had taken up the shields that Bill programmed them for and the trainers were safe, their Pokemon were less so as all of their Pokemon had suffered some kind of effect from the screech like paralysis or burns, the effects just happening out of no where. That certainly set the tone for the battle, knowing now that this glitch was capable of so much more than any of them could have fathomed, and for a time, they weren't sure if they were ready for such a battle against something that shouldn't have existed at all.
The glitch continued to attack as the Porygon kept up their protective fire walls, but the walls still did little to protect their Pokemon from getting attacked by the Missingno, however, after a few rounds of their Pokemon trying to weaken it, it gave out another screech as it's surface shuttered, the pixels and data freezing as though it were on a frozen computer screen. It threw up a protective wall around itself, but part of it shattered from the glitch's weakened state, and one of the trainers were able to throw their lockdown ball at it. Thanks to the modifications that Bill had made to the lockdown balls, the glitch was forced inside and it was captured as the ball locked tight, and much to their surprise, the battle was over. They had captured one glitch, but there were still more to detain as Bill's voice came over all of their devices again. They were to bring the lockdown ball with the Missingno in it back to Bill in Cerulean City for further examination, and there was a glitch located in Celedon City in the Game Corner, and another in the Goldenrod City Department Store.
The trainers split up then between Kanto and Johto and made it to the locations that Bill had specified the next two Missingno copies to be in. They were able to find the glitches and subdue those too, locking them away in lockdown balls and sending them off to Bill via the Porygon they had for continued examination. At that point in time, Bill was able to pinpoint the location of the last glitch, the original copy had somehow made it to Mahogany Town in Johto.
The trainers regrouped in Mahogany where they were approached by Morty who had been at the Pokemon center, and when he thought that they were all present, he told them where Bill was getting the signal from as they moved to the north of the town, coming to an old abandoned convenience store. When Morty came to the door and started trying to work the door open, there were muffled curses and rushed footsteps on the other side, but when they entered, there was no one inside, just a very thick layer of dust covering the empty shelves and cobwebs everywhere. Until they looked down, it looked as though no one had been on the inside in years, but within the dust there were fresh footprints that wove through the shelves until they came to a back room. Opening the door though, they were still surprised to see that the room was filled with nothing but old refrigerator units. After a bit of examination though by Morty's Haunter, the two found that the largest fridge had a false bottom in it, and after finding the switch, a latch opened, leading them downwards with a ladder that was just below it.
Moving down the ladder, where they descended to none of them could have guessed. Beneath them seemed to be an entire structure that had gone undetected for who knows how long, but it was sure to have been full of activity and maintained constantly despite it's remote location. Polished white marble floors and shining white concrete walls greeted them as they gathered at the bottom of the ladder, an enormous hallway opening up in front of them. Lining the walls from floor to ceiling were very ornately carved and detailed Gyarados statues made out of a lighter stone, with red rubies embedded for their eyes. It looked as though they'd stepped into a museum, not like they had just found a secret hatch under a refrigerator in an abandoned convenience store, but their focus was quickly altered as one of them got too close to one of the Gyarados statues and a blaring alarm went off, and within seconds they were swarmed with a mass of Rocket Grunts, though they weren't normal looking grunts. They wore blue half masks that covered half of their faces, nothing like Team Rocket wore, but that aside, they each had a grunt they needed to take care of, and the battles were on.
Defeating the grunts was easy enough, but looking down the hallway, there had to be at least twenty Gyarados statues that they could see, and if each one of them set an alarm, or even if only some of them set of an alarm, that called for a different group of grunts, there was no way they could handle all those grunts, let alone make it anywhere in an even remotely decent amount of time and try and take on the last glitch they were looking for. Morty's Haunter inspected the first statue before they set off further, trying to find a way to turn off it's alarm, but any wires were set so far into the stone that they couldn't reach them to cut them, and any outside intrusion was more than likely able to set off the alarm anyways. They were contemplating just trying to ward off all the grunts that came their way until one of the trainers suggested they use electricity. The electricity worked, frying the circuits in the statues before the alarms went off, but they didn't have time to waste in case the alarms had a fail safe. They raced through the hallway till they came to a large spiral staircase, and even then they were still running as they worked their way down, but they were met by two rockets who seemed to be superior in their rank with their uniforms and lack of masks, and they had to fight them off before they could continue.
They fought, and with their combined Pokemon, the two admin didn't have a chance, but they conceded defeat and left the trainers to clean up their mess for them, knowing the glitch was still down the way in the laboratory Bill had pointed out for them.

And so, coming to face the final glitch roaming free through the discarded laboratory, the trainers began to fight with everything they had left to try and subdue the monster.
The trainers attacked with everything they had, trying to weaken the monster so they could capture it in one of their remaining lockdown balls, but just when they might have thought that it was over, bits of coding starting to fall from the glitch as it froze in it's place in the air, it was only merely deleting unwanted data as it shuttered before flickering to a new form, a much more physical form that resembled that of a ghost, and it almost cackled at them then as it threw up a wall, much like that of Bill's Porygon, and in a devastating attack of horrendous blue flame it attacked Morty's Haunter, but when the ghost went to return the attack, it did nothing.
Their cumulative devices began to crackle and fizzle in and out of audio as Bill was trying to contact them, only catching bits and pieces of the frantic message he was trying to send. Something about his Porygon? That was all any one of them managed to get out of the message, but one by one they all released Bill's Porygon and the computers attacked, being able to get through the glitch's fire wall and do damage. Just as things seemed hopeless, the glitch freezing the room over little by little with it's new found power, their Porygon's collective attacks managed to break the glitch's power just long enough for them to throw one last lockdown ball, and with a distorted cry as the lights around them flickered and exploded, the final Missingno was captured.
Despite there being too many variables for any one of them to consider the situation completely over, wanting to know what the Rockets wanted with these glitches in the first place, what they were planning with hacking the PCs, why they were so keen on abandoning the glitches at every turn despite their hard efforts to capture them, they all took the small victory as it was and chose to leave the rest of the examinations up to Bill who was thoroughly enthralled with studying the Missingno now.
