Patheticness vs Patheticalness

What are the differences between the two. They are both listed on the internet as legit words but my spellcheck does not recognise them.

I am trying to find a noun of "pathetic", the cynical meaning.

Thanks.

These are not standard words, and I have never heard them. Perhaps you want just the slang meaning (eg His peformance in the World Cup was pathetic). I suggest eg useless / uselessness.
