The story details a mass shooting that occurs in the Wigglytuff Guild from one of the games, perpetrated by a female killer named Lucy Mathers, who finds herself in the PMD world as a female Meowstic, with her AK-47 being brought with her.

, but please, know that this isn't a happy-go-lucky poketale.
Here is a list of all the tropes
- Abusive Parents: Lucy's parents were not the best people to be raised by; her mother was incredibly religious and lived in fear of her daughter being possessed by evil, and her father quote "liked her a little too much for her own good".
- Ax-Crazy: Lucy is clearly deranged, and is enjoying every second of her mass attack on the guild.
- Bittersweet Ending: Lucy kills 20 Pokémon during her rampage, but is eventually arrested, and given a death sentence.
- The Dead Have Names: There is a bonus chapter listing off all the victims.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: The story details a mass shooting at the Wigglytuff Guild, which is very clearly the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon equivalent of a school shooting. Columbine is even listed among many school shootings at the start of the story.
- Kill the Cutie: Several cute Pokémon are killed during the shooting.
- Knight Templar Big Brother: Lucy is tackled to the ground by a male Meowstic named Myst Felicity, the older brother of Kit Felicity the Skitty, one of Lucy's victims, and tries to kill her and avenge his sister's death. He fails, and is killed.
- Last-Name Basis: Lucy is only referred to in the story by her last name: Mathers.
- Meaningful Name: The victims' names all have something to do with the Pokémon they are.
- Named by the Adaptation: Several Guild workers from the original game are only referred to by their species name, while this story gives them names.
- Rape as Drama: Lucy rapes Roxy the Vulpix with her gun barrel before shooting her inside her cervix and then attacks her friend while she bleeds to death on the floor.
- Serial Killer: Lucy killed her parents and her three ex-boyfriends before the events of the story. She goes on to kill 20 more during the Wigglytuff Guild Massacre.
- Shout-Out:
- The final victim is a Shinx named Cubbie Voltage, which sounds like a reference to Foster the People band member Cubbie Fink, who just so happens to have a cousin who survived Columbine.
- The shooter is named Lucy Mathers, which might be a reference to Eminem, real name Marshal Mathers III, who is known for making somewhat dark rap songs that occasionally reference Columbine.
- There's No Kill like Overkill: After Lucy kills Myst the Male Meowstic, she decides to drag the body into an empty tent, and set it ablaze.
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Lucy Mathers, an Ax-Crazy Serial Killer in the E rated Pokemon universe.
