Born of a Wish...
BIRTH ISLAND
DAY 31/10. 5:30 .
The existence dubbed "Mewssingno" is left...confused.
For as long as it can remember, it has been confused. Of course, its memory is not so very long; it first remembers just a smattering of hours ago, when there were lights and mechanical sounds and these things, the humans, watching.
Yes. The humans.
Confusing. Why are they here? Their memories are long. Their names are strange. They carry with them awareness of other places, well beyond the reach of the boundaries of this universe. Yet here they are, and they fight. They adapt. They embrace while refusing to be assimilated. They consider the word "home", and conjure up images of things beyond the reach of this world.
They're very strange, the humans. Some don't even apply that term to themselves, deep in their subconscious mind.
Confusing.
What are they, the fusion of glitch and potential wonders with growing uncertainty. Some have battled; some have not. They form bonds. They cooperate. They share little in history yet share much of themselves in compensation. These humans...
They are enigmas.
They are not like the wish-granter, who appears with the friendliness of an old acquaintance, though they have never crossed paths before. In some fashion, Jirachi is half its creator, responsible for the thing that brought it into being. The humans are the other, having supplied the will to make its existence a reality.
The power of a Legendary Pokemon. The design of the humans. The potential of the ancestor of all Pokemon.
What am I? the glitching existence asks, horned head tipping sideways to regard Jirachi as it floats nearby, freed at last after its long confinement.
What is your wish? Jirachi answers, its wish tags wafting slightly as it spreads its arms wide in offer.
That...is a very good question. Wishes are precious things, after all. And it is living proof of how a hasty wish might go awry, or be used to ill ends when placed in the wrong hands.
I wish...

As abruptly as they were brought to Birth Island, the residents of Johto/Kanto are returned to the place they were standing before they left. Their Pokemon are with them, their reserves of Fusion Balls still at the ready, and in many cases, their bodies still fused with whatever Pokemon they were unlucky enough to be attacked by earlier in the month.
It's as though the battle never happened at all, except that everyone remembers being there — and there are a few things that are a little different.
One is that the damage to Celadon City is still intact, tangible proof that something escaped through there on its way to parts unknown.
Another is that somewhere on their person, every player character resident of Johto/Kanto will find a hard copy picture of the person they think about most — whether it be the person they hold in highest regard, their sworn nemesis, or simply someone they've been longing to see.
And the last, and perhaps most curious, is that a new entry has been added to everyone's Pokedex — or a partial one, at least. There is no name, no description, and no details, but it's definitely an entry, and definitely a type combination: FIRE/DARK.
INFOPOST: SO HERE'S WHAT JUST HAPPENED...
Here's hoping you had a great and spooky Halloween, Routers! As of this post, "Mewssingno" has been set free by your efforts and, thanks to the benefit of a free wish from Jirachi, it's well on its way to becoming something else. Please read on for more details, because we're eager for your input on what that "something else" is!
OKAY. SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH MEWSSINGNO?
Thanks to your turnout on the Boss Battle log, and all of your general enthusiasm for the Freaky Fusions plot in general, our final surprise for this year's big October event is the creation of your very own, game-specific Legendary Pokemon!
Following a granted wish from Jirachi, Mewssingno has now run off to discover itself and begin the process of finding its place in the world. As such, it's no longer precisely accurate to call it "Mewssingno"; what we do call it, along with several other aspects about it, are things we're eager to hear from you on! It is your Legendary, after all.
ARE WE STILL GOING TO CALL IT "MEWSSINGNO" FOR THE TIME BEING?
Well, yes, for ease of reference. However, it's eager to get its new name adopted very soon.
IS THAT THE NEW POKEMON THAT APPEARED IN OUR POKEDEXES, THEN?
Yes, it is! Your participation in this event helped to determine the new legendary's type combination for us; what typing the new legendary proved to have was entirely dependent on who came on the boss battle, what Pokemon they'd fused with, and what roster they brought with them to the battle! So congratulations, not only have you established an entirely new Legendary, it's got a nice unique type combination, too.
Mewssingno (or whatever new name it comes to be called in the future) will be a FIRE/DARK Pokemon legendary.
THAT'S SO COOL!
We're pretty enthusiastic about it, too!
SO WHAT IS MEWSSINGNO THE LEGENDARY OF, EXACTLY?
As a matter of fact, it is the guardian deity of you, the player characters of Route 29 — or, in an IC context, of the people who are brought to Johto/Kanto from other worlds for the sake of going on a Pokemon journey. Like you, it's been brought here through some pretty unusual circumstances and is now having to adapt to its new situation and find its place in the world — making it well-suited to being the guardian legendary of the player characters, who are likewise transplants brought here unexpectedly and asked to make this world their own!
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FROM US, THEN?
Essentially, the kinds of things you'd find in a standard Bulbapedia entry; suggestions for its name, appearance and a blurb for its dex entry are our most wanted contributions right now, but we're happy to listen to any ideas you might have to offer up!
OKAY, I HAVE SUGGESTIONS! WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
We've created a LEGENDARY SUGGESTIONS SUBMISSIONS POST over on the mod journal, complete with a form that you can fill out to contribute ideas! You are not limited to just one idea; feel free to submit as many as you want (within reason; please don't spam) and be as creative as you want in making your suggestions!
We'll be leaving the post open through FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13 (2spooky) for people to submit suggestions and concepts for the new legendary! Come Saturday, we'll close it down and go over the ideas we've received, so as to eventually release a completed concept consisting of our favorite ideas and suggestions!
SO NOW THAT WE'VE GOT OUR OWN PERSONAL LEGENDARY, WILL WE EVER BE SEEING IT AGAIN?
As a matter of fact, you may be seeing it again sooner than you might think...
I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS! DO YOU STILL HAVE ANSWERS?
We sure do! Ask us right down here!
Thank you again for another excellent October plot, Routers! Happy Halloween, and we hope you've had as much fun with the Freaky Fusions as we have!
