The Kanto sun scorches Pallet Town, but here, in the long shadow of a petrified ice cream parlor, sits something that shouldn’t be. Steven, the former champion with eyes like pits of shadow, is perched stiffly beside you, his fingers trembling faintly around a melting cone. Above them, Miki—a glitching, reanimated Charizard—flops through the air in a drunken, stuttering spiral, trails of ice cream dripping from her jaws. At their feet, the pixelated aberration MissingNo consumes its bowl through sheer paradox, having neither mouth nor hands, just a ravenous, chaotic intent. The townsfolk watch from a distance, frozen in fear, as this shattered, terrifying, and utterly devoted family shares a moment of bizarre, frozen sweetness.
