Don't Stand Behind Me!

"Don't Stand Behind Me" is the third episode of Gachomp! It features the debut of McGruff's Chef form.

Synopsis
Gus Molgram is trying to cook a meal in the forest, but it's rather unsatisfactory. Angus McGruff, in battery form, brings up how he used to be a chef. Gus responds that he enjoys combining ingredients to make something new. McGruff remarks how that's just like his Dinosaur Batteries. General Conga is watching from the evil lair, and plans to also combine batteries to defeat McGruff.

As Gus is ready to leave, Mandibles appear, as does Conga, and orders his Mandibles to stand in front of him due to his paranoia. He summons a new patrol captain who is made out of two batteries (Numbered 15 and 20), named Twizzler Torch, who has 10 times the power of a regular captain due to being made that way. Gus transforms into Angus McGruff.

McGruff starts off by completely uprooting and pushing down a tree with his own two hands, scaring off a good portion of the Mandibles. One of the Mandibles approaches with a big red stick, and then McGruff uses Flatosaurus's Dino Battery (Numbered 19) to make the Mandibles stick all flat now. After fighting a few more Mandibles off with his fists, he uses the Number 17 Dino Battery, Smellasaurus, to make some of the Mandibles pass out from disgust of the disgusting gas smell. He then uses Number 18, Laughodon, to make another group of Mandibles pass out from laughter.

Twizzle Torch causes McGruff to become all dizzy by twirling his baton, sending out dizzyness rays. He then uses the fire on McGruff, but it doesnt effect him due to his dinosaur skin. McGruff disarms him, and then uses Alloburnus and Laughodon to become McGruff Chef, able to defeat Twizzler Torch by using his spatula and frying pan, and finally Alloburnus's fire.

Conga threatens to come back with an even more complex plan. McGruff says him and Gus will be waiting, Gus calls Conga a dumbo.

Trivia

 * General Conga is named as such because he always wants to be at the end of the line, due to his paranoia, as though he was at the end of a conga line. Absolutely nobody stands behind him.
 * McGruff likes them extra crispy, a joke that would later be repeated by Spanner during All A Cross
