Despite the huge pressure on this bladder, Chu-e decided to take this chance by the horns.

Taking up the 'challenger' spot, Chu-e fiddled with his pokeballs until he found the one he wanted. Then, he called out Glimmer, the Mimikyu hissing out a ghastly noise when he was released.

"Come kick my ass or whatever!" Wasn't a Gym Leader supposed to show up? Who was the leader here? Chu-e hadn't really paid attention to what building he was going in, he had just went into a big one hoping for a public restroom.

FERNANDO SILPH

"God. Fucking. Damnit. This is that Silph guy's gym!" Chu-e groaned, rubbing his face as he did so. While not the most politically motivated, only a dumb-ass wouldn't know who the fuck one of the current council members were; that clip of his voice reminded him of the drone on the morning news when they decided to repeat his soundbites over and over.

Other than that, it's not like Chu-e knew anything about FERNANDO SILPH. May as well... do his best?

"What the fuck is that thing...." The slobbering lava... dog? Was it a dog? Well, whatever it was, it was ugly and Chu-e knew he didn't like it. Better make this quick. Better win or lose with his whole ass so he could go piss in a decorative fern.

"Glimmer, phase one!"

The Mimikyu did not seem bothered by the much larger pokemon, only hunkering down and hissing at the Heatran before doing a fancy little twirl. When the twirl was over, there were three copies of Glimmer on the field now.

Glimmer used Double Team! + Evasion

The wave of liquid earth slams into the copies, seems to have Glimmer sink into it and drown as it settles in a wave on the floor. One would think maybe Chu-e would be a little more worried about his pokemon, but...

Glimmer had sunk into the ground with his Shadow Sneak, the ghostly pokemon using the shadow of the other pokemon's own attack to speed along into position. There are allusions to be drawn here. Maybe that one part of Naruto where that one guy used a shadow of a string to knock that bitch unconscious. Like that.

But Glimmer raises up behind the other pokemon, quiet, where presumably no magma has been hurled. A claws hand goes to grab the lava dog by the balls (pussy?).

No. Mercy.

Chu-e snorts, raising a hand to cover the grin on his face. Damn. He really had taught Glimmer well.

One trick can't work twice, at least not for Glimmer. The shadow hand is scalded and the 'floor is lava' game starts fresh, except this time with a fresh wave from behind.

The Pokemon's false body burns as it's Disguise pops, leaving ti safe for just a few more moments.

Glimmer makes the most of his time by trying to use a Shadow Claw to mangle whatever weird penis and/or vagina this thing has before he is forced to pull away and back off, lest his own weird little fairy/ghost peter be burned off.

"Arceus fuck, this is stupid."

Glimmer's Disguise proc'd!
Glimmer used Shadow Claw!

There isn't any getting out of this one. No more magic shadows, no more weird abilities. The attack hits and it hits hard. Glimmer may be tough for a Mimikyu but he still falters.

But not fall.

Chu-e and Glimmer have no idea what the fuck this thing is. But. Did you know that Steel is weak to Ground? I didn't. I didn't know till I was looking Heatran up on Bulbapedia to figure out if it had a gender or not. Been playing this game since the RBY days and my dumb ass never realized this.

So, Glimmer, with the full intent to try to hurt this pokemon just as much as it just hurt him- he used Copycat.

A strange force overtakes him, seeming to sap not energy but intent from the Heatran. There is a quiver, a shake, and then in a mirror image of what the Heatran had just done, an Earth Power erupts from under the much larger pokemon's feet.

Glimmer used Copycat!
Copycat copied Earth Power!

The plume of fire and frenzy hit Glimmer, and in his weakened state- he finally falls. Mimikyu, as stated before, were fragile. This enemy was an unknown and one they had been unprepared before. You couldn't just randomly walk into every gym battle and win; you had to be ready.

Plus, Chu-e still had to piss really badly. That was not a thing that stopped happening.

Calling his pokemon back into his ball, he calls out a brief 'thanks fro the challenge, dude!' and exits; he doesn't know if anyone is even listening but he figures it's better safe than not. Doesn't want to seem ungrateful. He just. Really has to piss.

Time to go find something to fix that.

Chu-e loses!
