[hiding-in-your-shadow]

Glitch research? Hell yeah! This is the shit I live for, haha!

Hello, I am H3X!? (H-THREE-EX) I am... somewhere between living being made of code and being an android... I am a resident of Glitch City, and I use She/her pronouns, but my gender is a bit strange.

I am soon to be a glitch research apprentice.

This is me... ik I look strange blame... "porygon"

I'm staying at H3X!?'s place while Simon's at the Ruins, just because... well, I'd feel weird haunting his place while he's not home, ya know?

Umbra seems to be recovering well after her stay at the Pokémon Center. She's been playing with H3X!?'s Clefairy, and said Clefairy has been happy to oblige.

But... more strangely, that FCGS, for some reason, decided to follow me from Simon's place to H3X!?'s. This is the first time it's left Simon's garden since we got here. It's just... sitting in front of H3X!?'s door, staring at me through the window like it wants something. I don't know what it wants from me!! Does it want food??

I don't like it. It's creeping me out. Even if its kind of a little bit cute, it's still creeping me out!!

H3X!? ( @h3x-code-x )

But I have a boyfriend 🥺 He’s wonderful, you should see his abs!

[ghostgirlcara]

...

I guess.

I'm... just glad that it's over. Glad to have Umbra back, safe. Glad that H3X!?...

Uh, well, I don't think her family is quite what she was hoping for... but I'm glad that she has answers now, at least...?

Finally got around to uploading footage that was sitting on my phone. I guess I'd left it recording by accident.

I'm... not so certain how useful this will be. But I'll upload it here anyway.

[A VIDEO IS UPLOADED AT 12:00PM ON 6/15/25]

Watch it?

*[ The camera footage opens at an odd angle. It's clear this wasn't recorded on purpose, but from what can be made out of the footage, it appears that Cara, H3X‽, and presumably Simon are following an Espeon through the backstreets of PT town. Snatches of the sky, still bright blue and filled with stars, can be seen on the periphery of the shot every so often. It is impossible to tell from the footage if it is day or night, the entire town bathed in an eerie blue light.

*[ The footage continues in silence for a while as the trio passes jumbles of half placed roads, lengths of wall with doors to nowhere, sign posts and guard rails jutting out of the concrete. The only thing uniform about the path was that it led down, slowly proceeding into a long, chaotic looking system of tunnels.

*[The Espeon comes to a stop at last, sitting down, and pawing at what appeared to be a single steel door sitting at the end of the tunnel. It was an imposing looking door, a massive slab of metal embedded in the rocky wall of the tunnel, devoid of any markings, or handles, or levers. The trio comes to a halt before it.

"This must be it." Simon's voice is the first to break the silence  "I guess it's now or never."

Cara nods, taking a deep breath, not for need of oxygen, but simply as a habit to calm her nerves.

"Yeah, I guess so."

*[ Simon moves closer to the door, holding out a hand as if to inspect it. It doesn't budge an inch when he presses against it, though his right hand appears to clip very slightly into the steel.

"So..." Cara speaks up again, "I'm... not really sure how you're supposed to open this thing, but... how about I just float through and see if it's not easier to open from the inside?"

"That might be a good idea." Simon replies, "There isn't any sign of a keypad to unlock it. Maybe there's some kind of trick to it?"

*[ He crouches down as if to examine it closer. His hand slides along the side as if searching for a hidden hold, or latch. Cara hovers close for a few moments, before she phases through the door, presumably to check the other side. The camera footage pans a bit as he inspects all parts of the door. There are a number of latches and levers that can be seen, moving parts that shift, and click in an esoteric, unknowable pattern. This continues for a few minutes before....

*[ Click

*[ With a dull thud, the door cracks open, just slightly. A few moments later, it starts to slide away with the low grumble of metal on stone. Cara is revealed on the other side, a wide grin on her face.

"Ta-da!" She exclaims.

*[ Simon stands slowly, brushing himself off as he does. The camera shifts a little, revealing H3X‽ crouched next to the Espeon as he does.

"Oh." He says "That's... good thinking. This gets us in faster."

Did he sound maybe a little disappointed?

"Now, how about we go take a look at what these guys have been up to, yeah?" Cara suggests.

H3X‽ nods, "Give me one moment, though."

*[ H3X‽ kneels down to the Espeon, holding a Poké Ball to it, urging him to let her catch him.

*[ The Pokémon boops the button on the ball with his snoot and lets her catch him. The ball shakes once, twice, three times... caught.

"Do not want him finding a Ditto and making eggs. Anyways, let us go. We have a Sneasel to get back."

*[The three make their way into the lab. The hiss of cool air greets them as they enter the climate controlled lab environment. It's dark in the hallway proceeding before them.  A few lighting fixtures flicker, some appearing mismatched. Steel walls proceed into plaster and wallpaper seemingly at random, as if elements of at least three different labs had all been cobbled together to form the winding, chaotic structure they all currently found themselves within.  It was eerily quiet. Not even the white noise of the ventilation systems could be heard. The mismatched walls and tiles felt haphazardly thrown together. It didn't feel like this place was naturally generated at this point.

"The Frankenstein's monster of mad scientist labs..." H3X‽ mutters.

*[ The hallways of the underground lab wind chaotically in what feels to be an endless fractal of nonsensical side-rooms and corridors. The three move quietly.  The last thing they wanted to do was alert the mad scientist they were trailing to their presence right away.

*[ Cara floats along beside them, taking advantage of the fact that her footsteps made no sound. She floats ahead,  checking what's on the other side of every door that they pass; some doors have windows, and others don't, but that doesn't really matter for someone who can peek her head directly through the door itself. She was hoping that Umbra would be behind one of them, that she'd just be able to find and release her, but... of course, it couldn't be that simple.

*[Suddenly, partway through a hall, Cara holds up a hand to motion for the group to stop.

"I hear someone," she whispers

*[Quite suddenly she rushes forwards, to investigate. Simon and H3X‽ dash after her, the CLANG, CLANG, CLANG of H3X‽'s footsteps resounding against the tile floor as they run. Cara swiftly pulls out of sight as she rounds a corner, and a moment later, a shout echoes through the hall.

"YOU!"

*[ Cara's voice, but it doesn't sound right. It sounds scratchy, and tainted by a noise like radio interference.

*[ Another shout rings out, wordless, full of rage, and static, and pain, and corruption, before it's suddenly cut short, and the silence echoes louder than any wail ever could.

*[ Something is wrong.

*[ When the trio turns the corner, Cara is no longer anywhere to be seen. Instead there stands Rocket Z. The mad scientist, once a barely functional husk of her former self, now looked far more whole. She still looked tired, disheveled, her form still shivering as she stood there, her mint green hair a frazzled mess that seemed to twirl into the ambient static that still surrounded her. But she didn't look like she was about to fall apart; At least, not any more.

"Rocket Z?" Simon breathes, sounding stunned.

"You should turn back." Rocket Z replies as she moves to block the way. Her voices sounds clearer than it had in ages.

"I will give you that chance." she says, "If you do not, I will have no choice but to remove you myself."

*[H3X‽ Took the opportunity of Simon distracting Rocket Z to book it down the hall to go and find Cara.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

*[... The sound of her footsteps hitting the floor as she ran was deafening.

*[Rocket Z snarls a little bit. She tosses a Poké Ball and releases the first of her Pokémon. A spikey, orange mass erupts from the Poké Ball, buzzing in its low, vaguely mechanical voice.

*[It moves as if to try and cut H3X‽ off, flexing its long, needle-like spines.

*[Simon tosses a Poké Ball to get in its way. A large, blue pokemon emerges from the Pokeball, quickly taking a form that resembles Simon, save for its entirely blue coloration, and hunched, beast like stance. It stands in Rocket Z's way as H3X‽ runs out of sight.

"Mimic!" he shouts, "Shadow Ball!"

*[The attack connects, and Rocket Z whips around to face him, brow twitching. For a moment, just a moment, there is a spark in her eyes that makes Simon take a step back.

*[ There was a prevailing attitude in Glitch City, that when all paths forward were blocked, sometimes the only other option was to explode.

*[ A shadow of a smile crosses Rocket Z's face when she sees Simon flinch.

"Don't worry, this ゥ ( Z4 has not been trained to surge." she says, "This would not be an ideal space to do so anyway. The effect would be quite generic. Burns, loss of sensation, general trauma to the body, and destabilization."

*[ She lists the effects casually; The most matter-of-fact way Simon had ever heard someone issue a threat.

"Horn Drill." she directs it.

*[Mimic, the deep blue ?????00(c) leaps out of the way, landing on all fours, back hunched as it eyes its spiny foe.

*[The fight was on. Simon watches over Rocket Z's shoulder. Hopefully his team could hold out long enough for H3X‽ and Cara to find Umbra.

"Mimic, Aurora Beam!"

*[ Mimic opens its mouth, still hunched on all fours, and emits a blast that at last makes the opposing ゥ ( Z4 start to slump. Rocket Z recalls the pokemon, but the look on her face doesn't change at all. She meets Simon's gaze, the slightest hint of spite in her eyes as she does.

"You know, you do not need to be actively getting in my way," she says as she recalls her first Pokémon, "I am fixing this already. Have you not interfered enough?"

"You stole Umbra!" Simon responds, "We're just here to get her back! If you hadn't done that, we wouldn't be here!"

Rocket Z smirks a little bit.

"You don't even know what I've used her for." she says, as she tosses her second Poké Ball.

*[ The Pokémon that emerges is one that neither Cara, nor even H3X‽, would have likely seen before; but Simon knew it well. His face goes pale. A dog with cold, black eyes, and a peacock-like tail fanned out behind it, stares back up at him. The video only shows a second of this pokemon before a black box is placed over it in editing. A note is placed over the image on the screen [Removed due to Visualtoxin]

*[Simon freezes. From behind the camera it sounds like his breath has hitched. He does not give any further commands to Mimic, or make any response to Rocket Z.

"You see, I have a lot to thank that Pokémon you call Umbra for." she says, "She is the only reason I am whole enough to stand right now. The only reason I'm free enough to speak to you now without the 9F to fix me."

*[She smiles, looking at least a little smug as she says this.

"The only reason I'm able to do any of this right now."

*[Simon is eerily quiet from behind the camera, momentarily rendered completely unable to answer.

*[The room's atmosphere remains tense, and while there isn't much of a visible change in their surroundings, it's suddenly clear that the two of them are fatigued, both of them breathing much more heavily.

*[A glass vial sat on a desk behind Rocket Z shatters spontaneously.

*[The smug expression fades from Rocket Z's face instantly the moment she hears the glass break. She whips around, immediately on alert. Was someone else in the hall with them!?

*[She presses a button to bring down the emergency doors, cutting off anyone else from joining the fray.

*[But, as she looks around... nobody. She clears her throat, looking less smug, puzzled. She hunches a little as if something were making her feel dizzy and unsteady.

"What did you do?" she asks.

"What do you mean what did I do?" Simon asks, voice now sounding much weaker than before, "What... did you..."

*[He staggers a little, putting a hand against the wall as he does. A monitor's screen cracks as its feed cuts to static. Though... is that someone's silhouette in the noise, or was that just a distortion of the camera feed..?

*[ Rocket Z flinches as she watches one of the monitors behind her crack. She turns around, already deeply pale face going even paler as panel after panel descends into static. She activates the 9F...

*[And nothing happens.

*[ The camera pans wildly as Simon staggers towards the door sealing off the hallway. He seems to be pitching dangerously as he moves.

"Something's wrong." he gasps in a voice even fainter than before, "Rocket-- Rocket Z, open the door!"

*[ There is a pause for a moment. Simon's breathing sounds heavier from behind the camera, labored, and the sound of static begins to distort the audio. The door opens after a moment, but Simon only manages to walk a step forwards before collapsing. The camera seems to bounce out of Simon's grip, lying now at an odd angle on the floor, focused on Rocket Z who was visible a few feet away. She looks haggard, suddenly exhausted and her forehead is suddenly beaded with sweat, eyes watering as she doubles over coughing.

*[A monitor behind her cracks.

*[From the cracks in the monitors, the television static begins to drip out as if it were honey, or tar. The static pools on the desk below, and drips from there onto the floor.

*[Suddenly, the pool of static launches at Rocket Z, tackling her to the ground;

*[And the lab is set ablaze.

*[Flames suddenly roar up from the walls, flaring up for a moment before dying down just enough for it to be seen that a phrase has been repeatedly scorched across just about every surface the flames have managed to touch.

WHERE IS SHE

*[ The air is filled with thick, dark smoke in a matter of seconds. Rocket Z lays there, pinned, coughing and gasping as she stretches to try and reach the phone that had bounced out of her grasp. But she doesn't have the reach. She has no hope to warn her partner.

"She's.. not here." Rocket Z manages to choke out as she lays there, "Error 0. She's with her. Working on..."

*[That's about all she can manage before descending into a fit of coughing.

*[Simon can be seen near the edge of the camera feed now, crawling slowly towards Rocket Z.

"Cara-!" he tries to call out, his voice barely strong enough to carry, "Cara-- stop!"

*[ He takes out Mimic's pokeball, and recalls the pokemon before he starts to fall limp. And for a while, the feed is still. The fire crackles and spits, casting long shadows along the wall as the room fills with smoke.

*[But before long the camera feed starts to ripple. A strange static like corruption tears at the video feed, and the sound momentarily stutters, and then altogether cuts out. For a moment, it almost sounded like a flute...

*[In the space of a frame Simon is no longer laying there, static obscuring the spot he'd once been. It was hard to say if he'd even been there in the first place. The video feed starts to flicker, and finally cuts out altogether

END OF VIDEO FEED]

[ghostgirlcara]

Are you worried about H3X!? ?

Seems like... a lot is happening...

💿 (disc) (disc anon)

If I'm honest, I'm a bit out of the loop on that. I don't keep up with a lot of the happenings in Glitch City for... well, personal reasons. Everything I've heard has been through Simon, really.

Last I heard there was some... family trouble, I guess. Though... the girl's family confuses me. And it's been long enough that... I'm kind of afraid to ask, haha...

[ghostgirlcara]

Hi Rotomblr! My name is Cara, I go by she/her, and I'm a Pokémon trainer from Johto!! I'm not too used to this website so please forgive me for any mistakes. (Heck, Rotom weren't even discovered until well past my time, so all this new technology surrounding it kind of makes my head spin!)

It seems to be the standard to start by showing off your trainer card, but the League here refuses to let me renew mine, so you'll have to put up with my old one. ;-;

The Sneasel is Umbra, and the Murkrow is Edgar. My Horsea (Kheb) has long since evolved into a Kingdra, and I started training a Misdreavus (Banshee) a while back. It's a shame that I can't get them officially recognized, but I guess what can you do. Anyway, I'm excited to maybe make some new friends on here!!

On my end, I'll warn that this blog will be making references to glitches and unused content, though I try very hard to keep it reasonably in-universe.

Welcome back...

( @h3x-code-x )

Thanks H3X!?

I'm honestly just glad to be back home. �aver and I are just kind of spending time together on the couch. I AM still bed bound so I won't be at the lab just yet.

But it's really good to be back.

[ikoninovelist]

Oh dear! What's wrong?

I am not doing very well

@h3x-code-x

Hex is a really sweet girl. Er... android?

She helped me out a lot yesterday. She's got a bit of a temper, I'll give her that, but she seems to keep a level head. I still worry for her. I hope she figures out the aspects of her past that appear to be missing. I can tell she's trying very hard to piece together that puzzle...

And I'm hoping that in piecing it together, she doesn't come by any trouble.

“Definitely a little oddity… And she’s moving in just down the street! How convenient, I’ll have to get her to agree to let me feature her in a stream sometime. Perhaps I’ll get a tech sponsorship.”

[pokeglitchden]

Who’s H3X? How far has she gotten into her apprenticeship?

H3X!? is the newest member of the PT town lab!

She's a bit unique. She's an android, extremely advanced, though its hard to say who created her. There seems to be no record of who her inventor was. Even in her memory banks, nothing of that nature was left behind.

But she seems to have an interest in Glitch Pokemon. So she's joined the lab with us! It'll be interesting to see how she adapts. I don't think we've ever had a lab member who was technically an android before.

But we will do our best to accommodate her needs! If nothing else the lab is good at being adaptable!

@h3x-code-x is her blog if you're interested! I'm sure she'll be cataloging her journey as an apprentice over there as well!

Hey, just curious, why d'ya put "Porgygon" in quotes? Haha!

Magic Anon!

A low-poly Poke-puff suddenly appears. A nice little snack for the Porygon.

Thank you, "Porygon" appreciates it

[hiding-in-your-shadow]

That sounds hella cool, haha! You wanna tell me more about it?

Okay like, you got any favorite glitches? Haha!

@hiding-in-your-shadow

I particularly like the Item Evolution Glitch

Oh my! That sounds very inconvenient! Though I suppose people like me have a similar thing since, if we don't sleep, we don't do very well either.

Every day I seem to learn new wonders about this universe.

Anyway, I hope you get to recharge your batteries, literally, soon!

I am not doing very well
