Glitch Pokemon Research

Hey this is Pichu, Mod for this blog. Here's all the info you should know before interacting.

-I am an adult Mod. Open for any kind of Roleplay (high stakes/casual/whatever) (Just no NSFW, mod and mun both not interested.)

-This is a Pokemon IRL blogs with very high likelihood of unreality themes. As such there will be post editing, deletion, and corruption present in specific plotlines. All posts that have a possibility of being altered at any point in the future will be tagged for Unreality with #tw unreality.

-This blog is using a "Glitch Pokemon Are Real Pokemon" AU, so any pokemon that has shown up as a glitch in game is considered a real creature by this blog.

-Due to the nature of glitch pokemon being technically non-canon please let me know if you do not want to interact with this aspect of the blog during RP.

-Simon is a civilian/NPC aligned character on the good side of the morality spectrum. Please note that opinions of the muse do not necessarily represent the opinions of the mun and vice versa.

ADDITIONAL INFO-

Simon has a backstory written on AO3 and a hidden 6th pokemon that is rarely if ever mentioned on blog that being the pokemon below:

Q�◣�� ( https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Q_◣) - A Kantonian glitch pokemon that followed Simon from his last job at Silph by hiding in his party. It is a Cancel Button pokemon given form, and as such has the innate ability to delete data. It tends to mostly delete Simon's data. Simon DOES NOT use this Pokemon in battle, as this pokemon can tamper with memories and is considered unsafe to train or battle with. It is also incompatible with Pokemon storage systems.

If you are interested in backstory I have a short rundown here:

*[ It's an update from Simon. It looks like he's been at the lab just about all day. His lab coat has a few splotches on it. Ink? And the floor is littered with letters.

Simon: Alright. This is just an update. I will admit that as of today, July 14th I haven't yet made much meaningful progress towards achieving Arbitrary Execution at will, but I wanted to show none the less what I have done.

*[ There appears to be an algorithm running through his PC. Running through different combinations and variations of the words that were spoken in the tape Jon recorded.

Simon: I got as far as I could just writing through different possible combinations. I mean, we're talking about possible impacts to the fabric of reality here, and trying them all is just begging for something to go wrong. So I wrote a program here to search through all possible strings and print for me only the ones that don't result in the creation of a Bad Egg! It only took about six hours to finish the code for it, and now all I need to do is wait! Ha! I should have thought of this earlier.

*[He sits down a mass of papers rushing to the ground around him as he does. It's really hard to place what the expression on his face is supposed to be.

Simon: So what now? What after this, what do I do now that I'm here? It's almost certain..I mean rather certain at least, that what gets created here will be a Glitch Pokemon. One hereto undiscovered until this moment. One who's brief existence was only utilized previously to ensure it didn't continue to exist as it had. Is that a paradox? Am I even chasing anything any more.

*[There is a note of desperation in his voice as he shakes his head, laughing.

Simon: No. No I told them I'd have a path forward, I told them I would do this and by Mew's Whiskers I am *going* to. I didn't *come* this far to fail to make.. whatever it is that I'm making.

*[ The manic look leaves his eyes after some time. As he watches the algorthym run. He takes a piece of paper from the ground. It appears to be covered in... not words. Drawings?

Simon: Well, at any rate we'll find out if I've wasted my time or not in a few days, once it's all done running its course.

*[ He smiles a bit at the camera. It's a worn smile, maybe a bit forced.

Simon: I guess then we'll find out if I'm sane or not in all of this,won't we?

*[Simon is standing in his lab as the video begins. He's in a cast, definitely looking worse for wear, but he seems to at least have an energetic demeanor.

Simon: Hi everyone. If you're watching this it means I've elected to give you access to the encrypted logs I'm keeping on this server that detail my research into the Mail Glitch. If you're watching these, please ensure you're doing to alone, in a private setting or at least away from prying eyes. I thought it would be wise to record my thoughts here as I'm carrying this out so that people can be kept up to date on exactly what I am up to at the lab without having to individually update anyone.

*[ He steps back, adjusting his glasses. The camera pitches in and out of focus before settling on him again. He's holding what seems to be a piece of parchment in his hands.

Simon: So I'm operating under the impression that you all know what I mean when I talk about the Mail Glitch. It is essentially the exploitation of a fold that occurs in time and space when the item a pokemon is holding simultaneously does and does not exist! The easiest way to do this is by knocking off an item that a pokemon previously held by executing a well timed knock off or thief move, while the target pokemon in question holds a piece of mail. When this is done it creates an effect after the battle has ended that looks like this if the rest of your party is currently holding onto letters of their own.

*[He folds a piece of parchment into an envelope and beckons Gilligan, his Pelipper over. He hands the letter to Gills, who goes to grab it with a hearty "Wark!". As soon as he does it vanishes entirely.]

Simon: So. That's the most commonly known version of the Glitch. The general use of it is typically to duplicate items. But I believe there is a deeper use for this Glitch.

Simon: Namely it is in piece of mail that disappeared. Now you may have noticed nothing was written on the piece of mail I handed over to Gills. So, as a result nothing happened! However, that mail is going somewhere, and if it goes somewhere, it will inevitably be read by something.

*[Simon holds up another prepared piece of mail. This one has writing on it, though what's written itself doesn't make much sense. It is nonsense, a few words strung together without meaning or reason. Repetitions of the words "I Choose You" "Highs" and "Wandering". There is a flash of something in Simon's eye. Excitement?

Simon: And if something specific is written that specific arbitrary code will be read, written and executed. Where you might ask? Well, in Hoenn it appears within the world, alterations to the map. But here in Kanto, or at least beneath it..

*[The Camera pans over to a PC. Box 3 is open, empty. As Simon holds up one of these notated letters he folds it into an envelope, keeping eye contact with the camera as he folds it. He gives it to Gills, holding his hands up like he was doing a magic trick, and at once the screen flickers. There is a shift. The box fragments and it's clear in a moment that something is *in* there.

*[Almost immediately he gives Gills another letter and the screen immediately clears, whatever had been causing the distortion gone as soon as it had arrived!

Simon: So you see, this makes alterations to the first slot of Box 3. At the moment, it has only proven capable of creating Bad Eggs. But if it is capable of pulling forth a Bad Egg, it is capable of pulling something else into existence as well. Something even closer to the code.

*[His eye shines even brighter, even wilder, as he stares into the Camera.

Simon: I know from the Statement Jon took what words are necessary to make this a reality. Now all I need to do is find the order, the combination. I'm close I think. Closer than it feels like!

*[ Simon puts away the Mail, straightening himself out.

Simon: I'm sure there will be further applications I uncover as this develops. I'll keep you all updated as I go, and let you know about any major developments that are uncovered in the mean time.
