History Fanfic / CowardTrilogy

* [[CloningBlues Hacking Blues]] - Averted. Psycher has no angst about being a hack, a trait shared by Scar in the sequel. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Scar's owner, on the other hand...]]

** It is also a straight deconstruction of the tendency in Pokémon creepypastas to [[NoFairCheating punish people who use cheats]]. ''Hero'' shows that someone who wants to torture a kid for cheating doesn't have to be [[TheScourgeOfGod The Scourge Of Arceus]] intent on restoring order to the world - they can be a {{Sadist}} picking on AcceptableTargets so that [[VillainWithGoodPublicity people will sympathize with them]] instead of [[TheScapegoat the person they are torturing]].

* KillEmAll - Josiah and Lance's teams. [[spoiler: But see NotQuiteDead below.]]

* KillEmAll - Psycher with the Elite Four and their teams.

* MeaningfulName - According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, Anat is a common female Israeli name, but not even many of the Anats themselves know it was the name of a [[TheBerserker vicious warrior]] goddess from Myth/HebrewMythology. "Shaked" is Hebrew for "almond", but in English, shaking is something that scared people often do. Similarly, Anat can be quite fearful, but is [[CowardlyLion braver than she thinks]].

* ShoutOut - "Was I going to end up like Sid in WesternAnimation/ToyStory, a few [[ScareEmStraight scary experiences]] denying him a normal life because nobody told him his toys were conscious?"

* ScareEmStraight - Lance goes as far as to [[UpToEleven construct a whole apocalyptic scenario]] to make Josiah think the consequences of his actions are real and not just a scare.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech - Pretty much everything the Elites say to Anat is a reason she sucks. Predictably, she retorts with a WorldOfCardboardSpeech and proves it.

The ''Coward'' trilogy is a set of three {{Creepypasta}} stories (one of which is [[TwoPartTrilogy still to be written]]), about two kids who used [[GameShark Gamesharks]] to hack Franchise/{{Pokemon}} video games, and get into various paranormal troubles. The first was written by an author known only as Spiffy, the second written by an author named Daniel Ernston, and the third to be written by both of them.

* {{Deconstruction}} - In many Pokémon creepypastas, the protagonist cheats, awful things happen to them, and they swear off cheating. ''Coward'' is the story of a cheater who refuses to be scared away from her [[GameShark Gamesharky]] pleasures.

"Shaked" is Hebrew for "almond", but in English, shaking is something that scared people often do. Similarly, Anat can be quite fearful, but is [[CowardlyLion braver than she thinks]].

* NoNameGiven - The protagonist is only ever called a coward, cheater, and a murderer. [[WordOfGod However, her name is said to be]] [[HebrewMythology Anat]] [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike Shaked]].

** Coincidentally, the current image for YoureInsane also features somebody admonishing Lance for his insanity (albeit in a different generation, a different medium, and a different canon).
