14	!!''Ash's Return'' provides examples of the following tropes:
15
16	* AlienGeometries: The strangely-connecting doors in the "''city''."
17	%%* AscendedGlitch / EldritchAbomination: Missingno itself.
18	%%* BavarianFireDrill: part of the "plan" in Chapter 3.
19	* CheshireCatGrin: "Meowth making a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Trollface23_877.png large, toothy, lopsided grin]]."
20	* DeadFic: The revised version has not been updated for more than a year, thus leaving readers who didn't read the original [[NoEnding utterly confused]].
21	%%* {{Exposition}}: Chapter 2 is pretty much just this.
22	%%* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, y'know?" and various less blatant examples.
23	%%* GoMadFromTheRevelation: What happened to Professor Vattha.
24	* GratuitousJapanese: [[GottaCatchEmAll Getto da ze!]] [[YouWakeUpInARoom Dokokashira?]]
25	%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia: "[[ShowDontTell I don't remember anything.]]"
26	%%* LoadBearingBoss: invoked explicitly by name.
27	%%* LogicBomb: the page quote at the top.
28	* OCStandIn: The old man in Viridian City who triggers the Missingno. glitch is given some backstory here.
29	%%* OntologicalMystery: The italicized portions at the beginning of the chapters.
30	* PaintingTheMedium: Chapter 3 ("Parallel Process") uses three columns of text to represent [[SimultaneousArcs three simultaneous lines]] of action. [[DynamicEntry Until...]]
31	* PatchworkFic: Even though the fic appears to take place in the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokemon anime]], the glitch Pokemon are exclusively in the games.
32	* ShoutOut: The chapter titles are all references to some computer-science concept. The keys are named after the axioms of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermelo%E2%80%93Fraenkel_set_theory ZFC]] set theory.
33	%%* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: the beginning, actually.
