"Do you have a bathroom?"

The receptionist didn't seem to be paying much attention when Chu-e spoke, too busy typing something on her computer.

"Hmm? Oh! Sure, you're right on time for your appointment! ID?"

Confused but busting to piss and willing to roll with it, Chu-e offered the woman his ID that called him 'Ji-Hoon Ki'.

"Ah, okay... One badge... and this way, please!" After her quick scan, she handed his ID back and stood to lead him down a hallway.

Chu-e did not pay attention to the scenery because he just wanted to go to the bathroom.

"Here you are!" She led him into... god damnit, again? This was a fucking Gym Battle. Not a bathroom.

[attr="class","spiral"]The door opens to a generic arena as plain as the halls that haunt Chu-e's need to piss. It remains empty aside from a single idle PC sitting near the bench next to the battlefield. No one else is present, leaving Chu-e a choice, take up his position, wander about, or return in his quest to find the bathroom.

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.

[attr="class","spiral"]“Welcome to the Battle Frontier! Today’s challenge will be a Traditional one on one battle!

The announcement booms over the sound of the PA system.

The rules for this challenge are as follows: this will be a single battle consisting of one Pokemon.

It’s obvious automated by the way the voice remain monotone despite its redundancy.

A mechanical contraption sprouts out from the other end of the field. The creaking sound of gears being spoked grind until a Pokeball is ejected from the column’s nozzle. It releases Fernando’s newly caught Heatran.

Battle routine set.

Fernando’s voice replaces the automatic teller as the Heatran grumbles to itself. It shakes its head in dismissal before eyeing the much smaller Mimikyu.

Execute!



MAGMA STORM
STONE EDGE
EARTH POWER
CRUNCH
IRON HEAD
LAVA PLUME

"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 . 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

[attr="class","spiral"] Watching the Mimikyu split in a series of afterimages leaves the Heatran confused. It’s not sure which one to hit and its whole body shakes as it mulls over the decision. “Heat—

And then it decides to just attack all of them at once.

Ran!

Much like the dog Chu-e presumes it to be, it dries itself from the molten lava the exudes from its steel cracks. When its fearsome mandible come apart, a grew LAVA PLUME spews forth, forcing them to play a game of ‘the floor is lava’. Like SURF, the attack surges forward, sweeping the entire field as the oozing liquid hisses against the much cooler flooring.

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.

[attr="class","spiral"]Whatever genitalia Heatran may have (most likely some kind of smooth metal or cooled lava) is subjected to the ghastly hand holding of Chu-e's Mimikyu. In this corner, there is no recourse. An alarmed grunt exudes from the Pokemon's bellowed cries as its caught by sheer surprise.

It's defense mechanisms kicks in; a flushed MAGMA STORM radiates from its body, expanding from its epicenter to burn up anything within its personal space.

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."

[attr="class","spiral"]The SHADOW CLAW leaves its mark, scratches against its steel hide, but it seems relatively unaffected considering the attacker's intent. Perhaps creatures made of liquid, viscous or not, do not have the same vulnerability that comes from solid flesh. It's a good line of thought for an experiment but not one Chu-e will be able to uncover in the span of one battle.

When the MAGMA STORM peters out, the Heatran turns, stomping in place to cause an EARTH POWER to erupt from underneath the Mimikyu.

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.

[attr="class","spiral"]A power vested in borrowing from another—just as abrupt as the splintered earth laid out beneath them—proves more than potent enough. The way the ground concaves into a spiked EARTH POWER uproots the weighty Pokemon as the fulcrum rests underneath. It's a tank caught on a boulder, vulnerable, preventing it from movement as it tries to free itself with a swivel.

Nothing works and the Pokemon lashes out with another LAVA PLUME, spilling its rage in pulsed waves of fire and heat.

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!
