THIS IS THE POKE NEWS CHANNEL DOING A LIVE REPORT ON CINNABAR ISLAND!

Reporter: Hello I'm Katrina Simmons here on Cinnabar island, a famous island known for their weather and beaches. I'm here speaking to Old Man Hermit about a Pokemon he saw along the coastlines.

Hermit: Ha-ha! Hello everyone! A-and helloooo Katrina!

Katrina:Umm. Well I'd like to ask you about what you saw.

Hermit: I'll tell your if you show me your panties! He-he!

Katrina: Excuse me sir.. Must I remind you we are live?

Hermit: Ha-ha! You don't have to remind me! Now come on! Show em!

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!

Katrina: I'm sorry, we were having technical difficulties but were back!

Hermit:(Now bleeding from the nose.) Y-yes... Well now let me tell you what I saw... It was nighttime, and I was out on the coastline looking at the moon! And then out of nowhere! ZOOM! This Pokemon came out of nowhere! I never seen anything like it before!

Katrina: What did the Pokemon look like?

Hermit: Umm... Well, you see.. I couldn't really see it, but I can assure you it wasn't any Pokemon I've seen before! So there I was, terrified! It sounded like a mix of all different kinds of Pokemon! I decided I should try, and catch it. But once I sent out my Krabby it ran away using fly and took Krabby with him!!! I've never seen my Krabby since! (Starts to cry.) OH KRABBY!

Katrina: Well you heard it here first folks, I am Katrina Simmons signing off."

The result

Since the news report, there has been various sightings of a strange Pokemon stealing other Pokemon all around Kanto. The Pokemon became extremely infamous around around the region, one reporting told that a trainer managed to scan the Pokemon with their PokeDex. But mysteriously the PokeDex gave the Pokemon the 0 as it's numerical number, just before Bulbasaur. And because of a default function of the Pokedex it named it Missingno. Short for Missing Number. Various bounty's have been placed on the capture of Missingno because of the lost of their Pokemon. Now various Trainers around the world are looking, searching, for the fabled Missingno.
