I wonder if anyone who see this will even know what Cookie☆ is… 🙃️

I get the Pokémon side of this joke but not the rat side. IIRC she’s a Touhou but beyond that I have no idea.
It reminds me so much of a webcomic I can so clearly remember and I thought was VGCats but I just went hunting for it and I can’t find so idunno what it’s originally from – a 2koma with Ash singing the opening bars
🎶 I wanna be the very best 🎶while heading into a cave in the top panel, then turned around in the bottom panel having implied to run into a million Zubats and just goingFuck itSo… there’s an infamous bit of Touhou fan art called Cookie☆ which spawned a thousand memes and a whole peculiar internet subculture. One of the memes involves the Cookie-version of Nazrin saying “Nai desu” (I don’t have it); that’s from this video where there’s a shopping scene and Ichigo (Alice) tries to buy ingredients from NYN (Nazrin) but they’re out of… almost everything. That’s been endlessly remixed – for example, I had this song on loop while drawing this piece (until it drove me nuts…), and here’s one that combines it with Undertale:

I basically just made my own version of the gag.
If you want to go down the rabbit hole further:
I thought was VGCats
Not sure what you’re thinking of, but there is a VGCats spin-off called Super Effective that has a number of Zubat jokes in it. I don’t think it has the exact 2 panel you’re thinking of though.
Every now and then I come across some piece of Japanese memery worth a whole documentary video and it’s just wild, man. They’re just built different over there I guess.
And yeah, I tried sifting through the entirety of SUPER EFFECTIVE (it even had a dozen new pages since I last checked it like 8 years ago!) because I was sure it was there, but no dice.
