## Overview

Sharbadey is an AI-generated Legendary Pokémon first appearing in Mike's AI Dungeon stream "The Moist Mystery of Sharbady" rapidly becoming the central plot point due to being involved in the murder of Mike's character's family.

## Appearance

Due to being written by an AI, much of Sharbadey's appearance is sometimes contradictory or difficult to pin down due to its abstract and metaphorical descriptions. Many characters refuse to or ignore requests to describe the creature. The following is what is known:

Description 1: "No nose, red eyes curly hands, and walks on two legs that are bent and its stomach has Black and white spots. Also a sharp tooth Jay shaped mouth."

Description 2: "It is an ancient, powerful and terrifying creature that is capable of destroying entire cities and countries."

It is most frequently referred to as a Ghost-type, though Dragon-type and "Ghoul"-type have also been suggested by Mike and chat throughout the AI Dungeon story.

## History

Very early on in the story, Sharbadey is described as the probable suspect for the murder of the Mike's character's parents.

This is confirmed later on, the motivation revealed to be due to their attempts to imprison Sharbadey and his "children" in a museum. He was found in the basement of a museum. According to Mike, this was Sharbadey "hiding in plain sight" from the law.

First mentioned by Oak his vague descriptions of Sharbadeys only goes so far into revealing the true intentions or backstory of Sharbadey serving more has a tool to spot them than a comprehensive descriptions of it's wants, fears and motives.

The first time we really have a description that gives us the background lore of this pokemon is in Vanhoover University, Vanhoover in the book inside the university's library "The Curious Incident of the Dragon-type Pokémon" the protagonist finds out more info about Sharbadey, although the fact that the book is about Dragon-type Pokémon begs the question if Sharbadeys are Dragon type and Ghost type or if they were thought to be dragon type, in the book the Mike's puppet avatar finds out that Sharbadey is an incident possibly implying that it was seen as a natural disaster more than anything a terrifying creature capable of destroying entire cities and countries, although the scale of the countries is not described it is probable that it isn't actually capable of causing country wide destruction overnight going instead from city to city until the country collapses note that this may be also fearmongering on part of the author, Legendary-type Pokémon are legendary for a reason so it is safe to assume that some of their abilities get exaggerated.

After finding a girl named Hazel and telling her he was gay after she asked him to sit next to her which Mike suspected was the AI forcing a romantic subplot, we find out the protagonist is named Kyle (retconning their original Cumchugger name) and has a boyfriend. Kyle goes with her to the museum of natural history and upon asking her if she knew where Sharbadey was, which she led to her saying they were in the basement, how she knew this is however not explaining either being a guess or implying the character is in fact physic alternativly she may have known this due to going to the museum often which we can infer by the fact the AI calls her a "huge pokemon nerd".

Upon finding the door to the basement Kyle sends out Omanyte to try to open it however despite Olmanyte having it's head glow blue upon hitting the door it get's knocked out and the door only barely shakes on it's hinges, the protagonist tries yet again to send out his Vulpix and orders them to burn down the door however yet again the door barely moves and absorbs the fire. After this attempt failed Hazel asks Kyle to go find other pokemon which he ignores sending out Cranky the Articuno which uses it's physic blast which destroys the door.

Entering the recently open room they find baby Pokémon in Jars containing strange liquid which Mike laughed at due to this taking place in Vanhoover which coincidentally is the name of a MLP convention. Sharbadey presses a button which leads to the liquid in the containers being drained whereafter Kyle asks the being the reason for murdering the parents which Sharbadey replies "They wanted to put me in a museum" with sadness in it's voice it continues "They put all my friends in a museum. I couldn't stand it any longer. So I killed them" after being asked again why Sharbadey replies again "They were innocent" "But they wanted to hurt me and my children. I'm sorry", despite the fact that Sharbadey considers the parents innocent (or pretends to consider them innocent to aliviate the pain of the protag) Mike sympathizes with the Pokemon and continuing to press the pokemon for answers it replied "The man wanted to put me in a box and put me on a wall for peole to gawk at. The woman wanted to test me to see what I could do. I could feel the pain they were inflicting on others. But not only that, I could feel their fear, their hate, their anger. They weren't looking to understand. they were looking to punish" - Sharbadey.

This leads to the protagonist replying "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." - Kyle

Sharbadey then asks the protagonist if they wish to sacrifice the life of a pokemon (which by now is established to be as sentient as a human) or of a human due to the Sharbadey needing a sacrifice presumely to save all pocket monsters that are alive from being trapped in the museum. The protagonist chooses that if they have to sacrifice someone then it should be Moisty which had been going on a murderous rampage killing Brunk after the protagonist insulted her in response to her insulting him and even trying to murder Olmanyte.

The Sharbadey strikes Moisty with a lightning bolt. With Moisty on the ground she shouts "This is my true form" after her bright blue eyes change into the shape of a triangle giving her atleast according to the AI a predatory glare.

After defeating Moisty, Sharbadey asks Kyle to return the souls to their bodies possibly implying that this act will ressurect the pokemon captured. This act seems to have also ressurected Moisty which thanks the protagonist. She may have been freed of evil with this action. Implying that the sacrifice was more of a test.

Sharbadey is last seen flying off to the moon and is never seen again (or is it).

## Trivia

* Note that during the original stream the first appearance of a Sharbadey was described as not a "Pocket Monster" however due to the contradictory nature of this description and the fact that professor Oak was mentioning things that weren't happening in the story this was retconned with the RETRY command.
