Title pun intended.

One of my fav gym leaders with one of my fav pokemon, Lt. Surge and his Raichu. Based on a screenshot from the episode "Electric Shock Showdown".

This picture is also a punch in my art block's face after its almost-two-months lasting activity. Note to yourself, pokemon is art block poison. Or whatever has made you happy as a kid and turns you into a happy kid as an adult.

"Lt. Surge is rumored to have been a pilot while home in America. He used the electricity generated by pokemon to power his plane."
"I tell you, kid, electric pokemon saved me during the war! They zapped my enemies into paralysis! The same as I'll do to you!"

Lt. Surge, ladies and gentlemen, threatening to put little kids in wheelchairs permanently in his daily life. Eventually getting beaten by little kids as well.

I believe gym leaders deserve more badassery than that, so there you go.
