**MissingNo** is a creature that was created by Arceus to reset the world should it be corrupted.

## Biography

### The Old Timeline

MissingNo was first used to be grafted upon a dark figure to make him stop ranting at Ho-Oh's mistake (granting a wish Ash Ketchum made by accident). He was then used to reset the world. However, because Arceus felt another dark presence, MissingNo was sent to guide Ash.

### Kanto Saga

MissingNo first appeared to Ash when he pointed to Ash that Pikachu was with him since he was 5.

MissingNo later appears to explain to Ash it's too early to meet Misty, and instructs him to deliver Professor Oak a parcel.

Later, MissingNo explains to Ash how the laws of time travel work. He later curbstomps a duo of Team Rocket grunts, and gives Ash a note that explains him to go to Route 22 to catch some Pokemon.

MissingNo is next encountered in the Viridian Forest twice. The first time, he does it to explain to Misty she could get over her fear of bugs if she'd interact with the bugs belonging to a Trainer she trusts. The second time, he's seen fighting a guy dressed as a samurai. After Ash's Charmander curbstomps the samurai's Pinsir and Metapod, MissingNo challenges Ash to a Full Battle to prepare him for battling Brock. During the battle, he reveals he's been to Paldea, learned about the Terastal Phenomenon and, since the local professors are extremely secretive, smuggled a Tera Orb and "enough Tera Shards of each type to last for a decade". He lost, albeit barely, and only thanks to Ash's Metapod evolving into Butterfree mid-battle.

## Trivia

* During the battle with Ash, MissingNo's Pokemon were attacking without him giving out commands. The only things MissingNo were saying were him sending out another Pokemon, him Terastalizing one of his Pokemon, or commanding *Ash's* Pokemon to dodge.
	+ The latest is a reference to the "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!!!!" running gag from *Dragon Ball Z Abridged*, where Piccolo tries to teach Gohan how to dodge.
* MissingNo can perfectly replicate items. This is a reference to the Item Duplication Glitch from the Generation I Pokemon Games that's commonly associated with MissingNo. MissingNo even calls it that way.
