He wants to be the very best! That no one ever was... uh, no. Scratch that.

Adventures and friendship were never something that appealed to Atticus... Shame that it's a pokemon world he lives in, and so teenage boys living in Pallet Town are not expected to sit idly by. But the life of a hero is not one he's about to consider; too much hard work for little reward, and so instead he embarks on his quest not to become the greatest... But at least, the richest.

Although the biggest challenge may be ignoring the adventures and friendships which may attempt to ensnare him along the way...

Thad and Trix... I'm sure you spotted them. Two of my favourite characters I've designed. Once again, aged down for the purposes of this comic, but despite that I still have a feeling he'll be pushing the age rating drastically up. They'll appear someday. I can't wait.

I love doing pages. They're great practice and I learn a lot each time, be it from the mistakes I make or otherwise. For example, on this page I learnt what I need to do to make the shading look as pretty as it did on the previous page (unlike this one) and most of all that I really despise tiles.

OMG FANSERVICE!! ATTY'S NEKKID!!! ... In a sense. For him. I assure you, this will NOT happen often. That jumper's his second skin.

I believe some of you call it a laundromat. See y'all soon.

H0lyhandgrenade, 16 Nov 2009 09:56 pm

Replies all round~

Yamataro: I think it's more a case that the daycare consider their business far more important than any dangerous criminals out there.

Czar Squid: True it's not exciting, but I think there needs to be a breather from time to time XD

BlackCatz: Thanks XD I haven't been in one for many a year but I tried to catch the feel of it I could remember... Might have been more cheerfull a memory if there'd been candy there.

Kitten meat: So you want him to sit practically in the nuddy as he washes his pants too? You saucy devil~

Skwinky: I love my sexy ellipses XD And ho shyt, don't worry, I need to comment on yours more too D8 let's make a pact ;D

emruki: Thanks XD I love doing backgrounds I do. Especially when it doesn't just consist of trees and bushes.

geegs: I am most afearfull. We shall see~

LeLapin: Me neither, after a terrible incident inspiring me to write that...

Nashira: Mebbe they are, mebbe they aren't :3 Okay they are. But I'm not saying how long ahead its foreshadowing for.

supersayainblue: I doubt he'd want to put so much effort into something like that XD He's not the most 'go-get-em' kinda guy.

RyoSoulreaper: Indeed, I doubt he's ever travelled much further than this...

Jazeki: I'm glad it made someone other than me laugh XD

Chura_Mai: I have quite a patience when it comes to working on pages. Maybe because I like to kinda zone out. And yeah... I put in that exact change sign even though it pisses me off. Everyone hates that sign.

Floo Phantom: It would appear so. Wouldn't like you guys to get tired of his overuse. But don't worry, DT shall return afore the chapter is done :3

Fishuu: It's also the method I use to draw rays of light :D I'm such a technique whore.

Waiting For Your Whistle: After much re reading of your comment I still can't quite understand what you mean but it sounds brilliant ;D

Drawkill: Kinda cliche... But I wanted to draw them. I'm baaad.

Zerosignal: Mmm sometimes XD I used to not bother with backgrounds at all, but one day I just decided to... Bother. And I've never looked back~

FreD-Zexx: Thankyou =3 And yo, that's how pokemanz should be XD

Chan Is No Longer a Guest: Fortunate that I have more patience than Atty XD Though admittedly my patience was pretty damn thin too when I was doing those tiles.

GreenNin93: Perhaps, perhaps~

Pat15: Now that would really make his day. And I'm not sure how well the big mac story relates but I like it regardless XD

Floo Phantom: If you'll read the second line below where it continues you'll see it actually reads "Theft, Murder and being a little tit".

Ichipowa: Pretty much XD But still ought be aknowledged.

Marly: I love detail, I so do~

Mr Aids: I didn't notice that. That's pretty creepy.

Davo: *salutes* I shall very much endeavor not to!

Tozz: You fiend D8 Jumperless is as good as you get XD

Piano-kun: Either that or learn how to cooperate with Dragonthing. Viridian Forest is going to be... Fun.

Whiteflamedkitsune: Thankyou XD I shall work hard to update quickly.

Idene: D8 You tell me. I'd be curious to know. Someday I promise I shall put my own number on a page like this (not saying which one though), just for kicks ;D Hope if anyone does dare try it though they live in the UK or their bill will sky rocket.

Tozz: Haha, alright XD I wasn't worried for a second. *puts phone down* I kid =3 You're not a pedo, just a pervert ;D

Davo: Eheh XD As much as it might seem otherwise, I'm not actually a person who's really into pokemon. Weird to be doing a comic I know but it's mostly based on my memories of it as a kid.

Gizumimipichu: Nice... hmm... Well, time will tell and I'm sure people will be able to make their own minds up XD ... Though I don't think anyone could ever describe Thad as nice.

NotchedEarPichu: Thankyou very much XD How do I make it? Pfft... Work hard, never give up and always eat your vegetables I suppose...

Idene: Ahh the Vents, what haven't they done. Trix isn't really jailbait, I just put that there because I couldn't think of anything as much to put for her in comparision to her brother, and I figured that only a select few would read it XD Whereas Thad on the other hand really is just a little tit.

Thanks for commenting!

A day care posting over a Wanted sign?
Are they wanted BY the daycare? If so, What did they do?
Report card says, "Doesn't play well with others, Convinced everyone that they were 3 when they were 21, and tried to catch 5 year olds in pokeballs. .... Well... That's funny...
HOW COULD THEY ENROLL AS 3 YEAR OLD!?!?!

Czar Squid, 15 Nov 2009 12:22 pm

While not the most exciting page, I do like the small tidbits of foreshadowing.

BlackCatz, 15 Nov 2009 12:33 pm

I love the laundromat...it's so brilliantly done.. it reminds me of my hometown's laundromat... ^^; It was also the local candy shop (how's that for multitasking?)

Kitten meat, 15 Nov 2009 12:51 pm

wait didnt atty's pants also get splattere with pidgey gore?

Skwinky, 15 Nov 2009 12:53 pm

Your storytelling and sense of space is always awesome. (And I need to comment more. FFF I will be better now promise. D:)

ALSO. Sexiest ellipsis ever? Hells yes.

emruki, 15 Nov 2009 01:41 pm

Aww, the adventure's not going too well for Atty, is it? :(

But wow, I love the attention to the background. <3

geegs, 15 Nov 2009 01:55 pm

I have a feeling that Atty's going to find himself in far more trouble then he was expecting... catching exploding pidgeys will just have to wait.
~ooh, tremble at the power of my psychic powers o:

LeLapin, 15 Nov 2009 01:58 pm

LMAO. Deleting the moves you worked so hard to get. That's hilarious. :'D
I never leave my pokemon in the daycare center.

Nashira, 15 Nov 2009 02:01 pm

Those Wanted Posters are foreshadowing, yes?
your pages always look so amazing ;u; can't wait for more!

supersayainblue, 15 Nov 2009 02:19 pm

wait, atty should be a bounty hunter. He'd make money that way. He's already wicked cool!

RyoSoulreaper, 15 Nov 2009 02:51 pm

Equipment under matinence, time 3:35 patience thin.

LMAO. Atty, really hates traveling don't he?

Jazeki, 15 Nov 2009 02:58 pm

Man, I need a laundrette around here.I love the dialogue. Day 1 of 1 made me laugh.

Chura_Mai, 15 Nov 2009 03:09 pm

HORY SHET I AM SQUEEING FOR JOY IN FANGIRLINESS OVER ATTY'S FANSERVICE. UMF.

And damn.... I would have thrown my paper/clipboard into the wall several times if I did *that* much details on the Background.... Very nice.

PS: "Exact Changes Only" BUUUULLLL SHIIIIIIIITTTTT!!! */rage*

Floo Phantom, 15 Nov 2009 03:42 pm

Where is the charmander who seems to have been abused in the past.

Did Atty learn how to shove them back in they're airtight balls?

fishuu, 15 Nov 2009 03:51 pm

Dun dun dun...? How ominous!

Ahh I really like how you did the glass effect in the last panel *g*

Waiting For Your Whistle, 15 Nov 2009 04:33 pm

There's a random stalker guy or Professor Oak standing behind him saying this crap isn't there... He's gonna keep going till Atty Punches them... then me for calling him Atty ^^U

Drawkill, 15 Nov 2009 06:51 pm

Wanted posters.
Dundundun

Zerosignal, 15 Nov 2009 07:15 pm

My God, The amount of detail in this page, you have so much patience...

FreD-Zexx (Guest), 15 Nov 2009 08:14 pm

I really like your artwork, particularly the way you shade. :) The comic is brilliantly funny.

Random note: After reading it, I dreamt I was playing Pok�mon and that it was a much more hilarious game than it actually was. A Caterpie turned into a Ninetails, then flew into Pewter City Gym and starting beating things up. ...

Chan Is No Longer a Guest, 15 Nov 2009 08:50 pm

"Patience - thin" POOR ATTY LOL.
D8 Goddamn you must have a bucketload of patience to do all that detail...I would murder the tiles halfway through.

GreenNin93, 15 Nov 2009 09:51 pm

Hm I noticed the wanted posters in the window, is that some kind of foreshadowing ?

pat15, 16 Nov 2009 07:01 am

i have a feeling the two wanted dudes'll burst in to try to steal pokemon and then their plans are foiled because.... they would be pretty much be trying to steal pokemon in a laundrette... that reminds me when my sis saw a guy order a big mac at burger king :3

Floo Phantom, 16 Nov 2009 12:05 pm

On the mans wanted poster, I can make out the words "Murder and being a".

Did he kill and eat his pokemon?!?

Ichipowa, 16 Nov 2009 01:53 pm

o: isnt his patience always thin?

Marly, 16 Nov 2009 01:59 pm

fffff i love that you put so much detail in your pages ;-;

Mr Aids, 16 Nov 2009 06:02 pm

Those washing machines look like they're watching Atty.

D=

Davo, 16 Nov 2009 10:11 pm

Sir...

For the record....

I love what you are doing here. Do not screw it up, please.

tozz, 16 Nov 2009 10:29 pm

the day care tagline makes me lol.

also, naked Atty = :D *wildly imagines*

Piano-kun, 16 Nov 2009 11:42 pm

Atty's going to need The Viridian Forest Survival Guide. Rule #1: You'll need REPEL. Lots of REPEL.

...There is only one rule in The Viridian Forest Survival Guide.

Anyway, going to the laundromat always brings in the strangest people. Wash clothes, proceed with caution. XD

Whiteflamedkitsune, 17 Nov 2009 05:45 am

your attention to details are amazing~~

can't wait for more ^^

Idene, 17 Nov 2009 08:25 am

... what's going to happen when i call that number? *an immediate reply would be nice, as it's ringing. XD*

tozz, 17 Nov 2009 05:09 pm

oh oh, to make it clear, I'm close enough in age to Atty that it's okay if I imagine him naked--no pedo, alright?! :D

Davo, 17 Nov 2009 06:21 pm

It occurs to me that I have a piece of writing you would likely find interesting: a re-construction of the entire Pok�mon mythos from the ground up.

gizumimipichu, 18 Nov 2009 12:44 am

Awww the wanted poster people look like nice people though...*hehe* Looks can be decieving though, right?

Yeah! Atty's finally getting cleaned! XD

NotchedEarPichu, 18 Nov 2009 05:54 pm

I just read the whole comic and I loved it! I'm big fan of pokemon. :D How did you make the comic? The drawing style is really cool!

Idene, 18 Nov 2009 10:04 pm

oy, i live in the US, so you probably might not hear from me. XD

and i was looking at the posters *again, astonished by the amount of detail on your pages*, what exactly did the Vents do?!? murder, little tit, and jail bait?

ZanTheMonk, 19 Nov 2009 08:16 pm

Teach Me Great One! Dude, how did you get so good at drawing? Pratice, classes what?

On topic: Seems he's just not having a good day...must be monday; God I hate mondays.

xwx101, 20 Nov 2009 01:14 pm

umm is he on the inside or outside can't tell, an I have a feeling he is going to look real cool on the next page.
