Asshat is always in such a hurry.

Maybe if he didn't rush so much his team wouldn't be so easy to take down.

Or maybe the Crystal Squadron is just too awesome.

Hehehehe...

Pffffffffffffffffffttttt!


Snrrrrrnrnnk.




Hey it's night time now. The perfect time to ANNIHILATE A GYM LEADER!


BUGSY.
LAMEST.

NAME.
EVER.



Who wants to be a
Bug Po
kemon encyclopedia?
They crunch when bigger things step on them
And they are useless.

I guess Bugsy also likes PANK.

YO WADDUP MANDUDEMCBROSKI.
I WAS JUST GETTING HOME WITH MY DOWNIES
FO GRIZZLE
SHIZZLE
SOMETHING.


Oh em eff gee four real?
My knowledge of them is "for real", too.
Hit them with things.
They die.


Doubt it.



CLOOOOOONNNEEESSSSSS
(Also love that grammar derp.)


Gaaahh! They have a Boris!
CAREFUL, MONTY.


Too careful, Monty.
Too careful.



You're
too good at this.

(THE GRAMMAR.)

I cannot even begin to describe how lame that line was.


(By Cori.)





Are
Are you talking down to me.
Prepare to have your fists shoved down your throat.

No mercy!


MONTY! There's extra food for you tonight if you DESTROY THAT MISERABLE BUG MUSHROOM CRAB THING!

Eeeeeeexcellent.

As the time passes, you grow more and more powerful.
We will be an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE!

THAT IS THE SOUND YOU MAKE WHEN MONTY RIPS YOUR SKIN OFF.

Oh, er, got a little excited there.
ONWARDS TO
Bugsy. Pffahahaha.

I beg to differ.
Monty does, too.

We doubt it. Don't we, Monty?

Yes we do.
(By Cori.)


One stare from Monty was all it took.

Gyms are supposed to be
CHALLENGING.


Yeah. Super tough.
And this gym just
sucks.

As bad as this gym is...

The Poison Stings from
virtually everything actually do something.




And yet they are still easy to take out.

Why do you have a net, anyway? Don't most people catch Pok
mon in Pokeballs?
Do Bug Pok
mon even COME in a strong version?


Ooooooooooooooh!

I guess they doooo~!


Or not.

Durrrrrr. Uhduhhhhhh hurr hurrrrrrrr.


Dude.
Dude do you have green hair.


You must have only fought Youngsters with Rattata, then, because any serious trainer could take you out EASY. I mean,
bugs. Come on, what were you thinking?


WHO WOULD WANT TO BE THAT?
"Let me demonstrate

No, really, you don't have to.

YOUR POWER
IT IS
OVERWHELMING.


I think you and the bug catchers are the only people in the entire world who actually buy nets.



It's on.
ROUND ONE
Useless Green Thing VS. Manly Spearow
FIGHT




"Monty used PECK!"

And another one bites the dust.


OOOOOOooooh! Sounds fierce!
"LEADER BUGSY

Bugsy.
How did you even manage to become a Gym Leader.

ROUND TWO
Useless Yellow Thing VS. Manly Spearow
FI-


I wasn't done talking in my announcer voice, Monty.


OH FU-
Someone else needs to get some experience, anyway. RETURN.
GO, GEIST!
ROUND THREE
Somewhat Terrifying Sword-Armed Flying Insect VS. ...Geist.

OH COME ON.
THAT BIG SWORD-ARMED FLYING INSECT IS A BIG BABY.
IT FAINTED WHEN IT SAW A
GHOST.
And for a second I actually though that the sword bug was what got you the rank of Leader.
Here's hoping Gym number three actually has a good leader.





What does this move do, I wond-

How is this supposed to be a helpful move at all.
I think that nail just got rid of the last bit of brains Geist had.
(Art by Verom.)

YOU LOST
No surprise there.

(By Cori, who is fantastic.)


Hehe. You really think so?


I'd suggest you try researching things that actually battle well.

Gladly.

YES! WITH THIS BADGE, WE ARE TWO EIGHTHS OF THE WAY TO TAKING DOWN THE ELITE FOUR AND OBTAINING JUICE, TEAM!
WE MUST CELEBRATE!
RAVE PAAAARTYYY!







"It" being the badge, I presume.
I missed what you said before that. I was too busy with my PARTYYYY.


CUT - Not just for emo kids!


Is this something that all Gym Leaders do for everyone, or just me?
Because Mr. Earl didn't mention this in his lessons on gyms.






Well, I guess that's
one thing you can be proud of.

That was an unbelievably easy gym challenge, team.

Let's head to the Pokemon Center and rest for a bit. Here's hoping the rest of the gyms are stupidly easy.

I dare anyone to use this as their avatar for an extended period of time.
