'''Chuck''' (Japanese: '''シジマ''' ''Shijima'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cianwood City]]'s [[Gym]], officially known as the [[Cianwood Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Chuck gives out the {{Badge|Storm}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

Chuck appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Cianwood Gym]]. A {{type|Fighting}} Trainer, he is known to spar with his Pokémon to train both them and himself. His in-game title is "His Roaring Fists Do the Talking". Chuck is married, but spends little time with [[Chuck's wife|his wife]]. She isn't too fond of this, and spends her time standing outside the Gym, perhaps waiting in hope that he will come home.

Chuck enjoys a good battle, but after losing he vows to train 24 hours a day. After he is defeated, his wife will give the player {{HM|02|Fly}}, which the successful Trainer will now be able to use outside of battle. She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little chubby". In addition to the {{Badge|Storm}}, Chuck awards [[TM01]] (which is {{m|Dynamic Punch}} in Generation II or {{m|Focus Punch}} in Generation IV).

Chuck appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time he can be fought using Pokémon not of the {{type|Fighting}}; his second six-Pokémon team in this game is actually composed of only two Fighting-type Pokémon. However, all his Pokémon in both rounds know {{m|Dynamic Punch}}, a {{type|Fighting}} move and the [[TM]] that he gives out in [[Generation II]].

====History====

Chuck trained {{adv|Blue}} in the ways of fighting and [[Pokémon training]] when he was a child.

Chuck debuts in ''[[PS124|Scrappy Skarmory]]'', where he is waiting for his friend {{adv|Walker}} to arrive so that they could battle each other. When Walker fails to show up, Chuck heads back outside to find his training equipment torn to shreds. The cause is revealed to be the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}, which Walker is currently fighting against. They team up to fight Suicune and attempt to capture it, but they fail and Suicune manages to escape.

At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Chuck arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the sixth round, he faces off against his former student, Blue. Using the methods his teacher taught him, Blue defeats Chuck and gains another win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Chuck and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Chuck returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.

Chuck, along with Bugsy and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. When Chuck's {{p|Hitmontop}} realizes that [[Blue's Rhyperior|Silver's Rhyperior]] is actually the evolved form of Blue's {{p|Rhydon}}, Silver reveals that he is actually a friend of Blue. Hearing this makes Chuck decide to trust Silver and allow him inside the Gym. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{p|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.

|desc={{p|Hitmontop}} is Chuck's fifth known Pokémon. He was first used to battle [[Blue's Rhydon]] at the Pokémon League. Using his top-like body, Hitmontop managed to nearly defeat Rhydon before clashing against it with its horn. By reversing the rotation of its drill, Rhydon defeated Hitmontop by simultaneously stopping and dealing damage to him.

Hitmontop's known moves are {{m|Triple Kick}} and {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and his Ability is {{a|Technician}}.}}

* Chuck has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] Sandslash in Round 2 of Pokémon Stadium 2: {{m|Metal Claw}} is an Egg move in {{game|Crystal}}, while {{m|Rock Slide}} is a [[Generation I]] TM.

* With {{mas|Falkner}}'s release on August 5, 2021, Chuck is the only unobtainable Johto Gym Leader in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
