Okay, story time!
I'd been playing Pokemon White, and have a Throh on my team named Daimos, one of my favourite mains. I'd just taught him the move Bulk Up to help strengthen his moves a bit more than what they were at the time.
Battling with a Gentleman's Emolga on the S.S. Unova, of course the first thing I do is have Daimos use Bulk Up, planning to use an attack next turn with that little bit of a boost. Typical procedure.
But I had completely forgotten that Emolga can learn Encore. So Daimos was stuck using Bulk Up for five turns, before he could finally use Circle Throw and turn that Emolga into a black and yellow smear on the wall.
Of course, my imagination ran away with itself because of this, and wouldn't leave me alone until I drew this out, justified as a warm up for commissions on a particularly tough doodle day, hence why some parts of it are messy.
Think my brain just wanted an excuse to draw a Throh and some absurd muscle-ness. It does that sometimes.
