Comics - Chapter 4 Page 6

This cannot end well.

yay its atticus!

For the love of god Atty don't kill it!

Would be so damn funny if Atticus catches it.

Mostly cuz I want to know his name for it.

this exact same thing happened to me.. it took me hours to get a pikachu in original blue but it took my brother just 1 step... i sense a blood bath coming. funny how she didn't notice pikachu watching her in the background though.

Lol at the speech xD
I feel like your art suddenly got even better than it was D: *amazed*
Your style is wicked cool!

I think my greatest upset here was not getting an alt message.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS LOVE.

Now now. Atticus didn't even know how to fight a pokemon battle, how could he possibly understand the fine art of catching a pokemon? Where's that teacher when you need him?

I wonder who the pikachu will choose.

after seeing the pikachu magically appear in the last panel, and looking at the alt message, and some other stuff, I notice that... it was there the whole time, just watching her...
Hmm... I hope he doesn't scare it off.

Catch it Atti!!
Hurt her pride!

Either Atticus catches it, accidentally kills it, or some thing.

Pikachu's are so lamee.
They cant even beat mistyyy. arhrhhrr.
Better off with a butterfree, least they can piss people off in battle.

OMG PIKACHU! 8D *shot* XD

Well this should be fun.

I wonder how this will turn out...

i would rather see atticus kick pikachu just for it being in the way...lol

Yes! Believe in the power of stuff!! >8'D

LOL he is going to catch it. XD

I hope this is a troll Pikachu and ends up fleeing.

hmmm... am i the only one that noticed that atty seemed to bring about the appearance of the pikachu?i mean,it might just b because of the fact that there werent any panels showing the grass until atty walked in,but...

That pikachu is just epic. XD This is one of the best pages yet with the dialogue and everything! XD

Of course, the pikachu just has to appear for Atty because he has no idea what a pikachu is.

Haha I didn't even notice pikachu until it said something. and I missed Atty, I'm glad he's back.

hahaha, I just realized that the pikachu has been there the whole time.

P
-I
K
-A
C
-H
U
-!

what software? what software do you use? photoshop? or something ridiculously complicated that I know nothing about?

and HAHAH. atticus is totallly gonna catch it.

Makes you wonder how many kids ran around trying to assemble and EXACT version of Ash's team on their own...

Oh shit! Will Atty get to it first and be all "a;dlkfajdsf D8<"

the world may never know!

Bet Atty's gonna kick it or something XD

I totally did not notice the pikachu until the last panel xD

XDDD NO FAIR. He just found one LIKE THAT.

I SENSE A CHALLENGE FOR THE PIKACHU!

<3

XD And what RayleneQuinn said. THAT PIKACHU IS STEALTHY. XD;;

Heart of the... Just keeping Believing in the power of friendship! Or the heart of the cards! Or the heart of the dice! Or the heart of the... pokeball! Or just go rage face and jam the a button.

Would be funny if Atty caught pikachu, just to see girl lose it.

I enjoyed Black, but that's just me. Anyhow, another amazing comic! Keep it up! (And yes, it was worth it drawing Pikachu that much.

hm i think that the kid is gonna be pissed withing the next 3 comics

lol playing Black now actualy, no ida what half of the pokemon are or types, kinda threw myself in there, but the story line is pretty good, though i think i thought the story line would be longer than what i hoped. I hoped for sumthing like R/S/E where u go the league and then save the world on the side but it isnt. They the bad guy N is differently different from being a rival SPOILERS-HeTakesYouOnAFerrisWheel-/SPOILERS but its good. the gyms where tougher at thestart but the last 3 gyms are a piece of piss.

Please tell me my suspicions of lawnmowers are unjustified...

In any case, "Dragonthing! Kill the fricken... mascot."

Saw it comming And now cut to those two hiding in the bush laughing just shy of (Homer Simpson) ROFL-copter because this guy finds a Pikachu without even trying!
Atticus catches it and girl ends up following him as 'Misty'.

HEART OF THE CARDS!

PUNT THE RAT The best possible outcomes here would be:
-Atty punts / steps on rat-thing.
-Atty throws ball and catches rat-thing without a battle.
-Atty defeats rat-thing to train dragon-thing rendering it uncatchable.

XD So Atticus gets tied up in this girl's mischiefs...

That pikachu. I didn't see it till the last panel. I now rofl.

yup the pikachu is gonna pick atticus, and atticus will be all "No thanks" or, "U want it? 20 bucks"

could Atticus even catch it? You've seen how he throws Pokeballs. He'd probably dent the rat-things skull and give it permanent brain damage.

... three...two...one...PICKACHU!!

lol pikachu was there the whole time
XD

Glad to see some pikachu are left. I was sad at the thought of a viridian forest with no pikachu =p

She is sooo adorable

XD I can SO imagine what a bunch of the other people who commented about your comic said about what Atty will do along with what'll happen with the pikachu. ^_^ Oh god, it would be so funny if Atty caught the pikachu by accident (like Misty with Psyduck in that one episode that I don't remember the number or title of) after all the hard work the girl has in trying to catch the darn yellow ninja mouse. XD

Well, maybe that pikachu likes smoking... It might have been attracted by Atty's cigarettes.

Augh, augh, each of your panels is always so superb. CATCH IT, ATTY. CATCH IT CATCH IT CATCH IT CATCH IT DON'T LET WEEDLE GIRL BEAT YOU THERE YOU HAVE TO BE THE VERY BEST AND MAKE LOTS OF MONEY TO SPEND ON CIGS AND CHOCOLATE.

No Pikachu, run for your life. My punt senses are active.

Nostalgia A classmate of mine just gave me her old Gameboy Advanced and a bunch of games - including gold, silver, and yellow version. And the gold and silvers haven't died yet! I am very excited, and back to playing my favorite pokemon games before I go to sleep.

I don't even know where one finds a Pikachu in gold version...

He is going to kick it, huh :|

Does Atty even have any Pokeballs?

Btw, Pokemon B/W are terribly easy up until Victory Road >.>

I bet either Atty catches it by accident or he kicks it out of the way :DDDDDD

You draw pretty shoes

I dunno what you're all thinking, but the truth is... A WILD ATTICUS APPEARED!

Uh oh, well, let's hope this goes down in a ... pff, what am I thinking, its gonna be a mess.

^.^ :D

I am excited beyond words! Which is saying quite a bit since I'm an English major.

i love these characters so much!

Atticus is going to mess this up for her, I know it.

Pikachu came to give Atty 'the talk'

XD
The pikachu is sooo cute! Its just standing there XDD

And Atty will be a douchebag and catch it first.

And then George will cry and beat the hell out of him.

FUN FUN FUN! ^^

I'm expecting Atticus to either kill or capture it, winding up crushing her dreams. XD

I'd say that was more of a coincidence than friendship.

HILARIOUS

I love that second-to-last panel, where Atty is watching her like, "What's her problem?"
The elusive Pikachu! It's always those super-rare Pokemon that people really wanna catch.

I just noticed she seems to be as into the details of not giving up and believing in Friendship and... stuff as Atty.

hey hay, maybe she'll teach him how to catch it? // if it's his battle.// which is better than no-one getting it.

lol you violate ImageShack (vote incentive broken)

Is it Really That Rare? I got attacked by 3 of them.

Atty's gonna catch it and she will HATE HIS GUTS! Or maybe he'll scare it away and she will still hate his guts. Or possibly she will get jealous of his adorable Dragonthing when all she has is an army of caterpillars.

It's her fault anyway. Obviously she was only PRETENDING to believe in friendship, judging by that penultimate panel. At least Atty was upfront about his distaste for such things. (Or maybe that was his magic powers?! Notice the only page she's cynical is the one in which Atticus looks her way! It's infectious!)

...I can't wait for the next panel. Thad's been fun, but I'm missing Atticus. Besides, seeing what the two villains behind the hedges think of Atty should be plenty amusing in its own right.

Pikachus are whores? Only for ketchup!

Dog pile the pikachu!!!

Oh... wow.
I didn't see Pikachu until the last panel.
I didn't see Atty until I looked back four times.
... I failed. :D

I love how not only her needed yellow rat is just... right there... in the background the entire comic. And of course Atticus is worth mentioning too! (We "-icus" people hafta stick together.)

Seriously tho! The "legend himself" used a pikachu... yeah Ash was a BRILLIANT trainer, full of love, compassion, and EMPTY POKEMON BOXES! I gave up watching the show a LOOONG time ago, but my friends still watch it... and have you noticed how many of Ash's pokemon he lets free? Butterfree and Charizard just to name a couple! I don't care the reasons, you don't release them! The whole point of the game is to capture them, and let them rot in the boxes.

Come on, all, how many of you actually release your pokemon after you catch them? I would be surprised if more than 10 of you did. My friend Mike does, only because he doesn't care. I mean, those special events where you get legendary pokemon.... do you keep them? Or do you release them after you get them? You keep them right? Do you use them? Do you actually train them? Naw, they sit and ROT IN THE BOX, like all the pokemon you catch that you don't prefer using.

Ash is no legend... he's a pokeDOLT!

*rant mode deactivated*

^Oh, yeah. You can clear up the box. Huh.

xD haha epic~ this is Soooo
how real life works, anyboud who care not care less get what you want without trying~

Also not seen ya on MSN lately? *mew

:O I think Atticus would be more likely to punt the pikachu than to catch it.
Since it's just another rodent.
But if he did try to catch it I'd picture him stepping on the ball to make sure it didn't escape.

*checks to make sure cannot hear a lawnmower*

Atty:

"No, I don't need to know the fine art of catching a Pokémon. I beat the crap out of a cute creature, then stuff it in a tiny ball. That's how it works."

lol, funniest interpretation of pokemon ever :3

LOOK OUT. HERE COMES THE INEVITABLE LAWNMOWER! *Shot*

Quick! Go get that Pikachu before Atticus does! o:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT MAKE THAT PIKACHU
SEEM IMPOSSIBLY STRONG SO THAT THE TERRORIST ORGINIZATION
WANTS TO CAPTURE IT AND ONLY IT
FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER

I'm with Esproc! Punt the pikachu. Do it. It will INFINATELY make my day. Please. For me. Please.
*puppy eyes*

(Note: Having Atticus punt her sought critter would make for a good meeting for the two characters. Not to mention add some good ol' fashion comic drama!)

So do it. Punt the vermin! If not for the comic, then for me, this buncha words on the page that has no name, identity, or whatever have you. You will make my day!

*starts running at it!* ???: My pikachu!

Atticus: I need another smoke!

*He drops his current cigarrate and reaches in his pocket to get one, only to grab a pokeball which he doesn't even know how it works!*

Atticus: That's not it!

*He tosses the pokeball it into the air, which falls straight down onto the pikachu and captures it!*

???: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Atticus: *oblivious to what just happened as he lights his cigarrate!* What is his problem?

Lol. Atticus, you lucky jerk.
KILL IT FOR THE LULZ.

That girl's going to be raging now. xD

Atticus needs to catch that! I think it's about time he gets a Mousething! Plus, that other kid JUST caught a weedle.

Once I saw it I shat bricks. I had no idea pikachu was just standing their LOL.

Atticus reminds me of a steam engine... chu chu! =D

i'm secretly hoping that Atticus catches the pikachu. that would make my day.

Damn! So close for her to have a breakdown... That'd be awesome. Stupid Pikachu.
But really, they're not thaaaat rare, she just need some mods for speeding the game. Oh wait.

Punt O.k. I've decided...
Atticus walks up
"Not another god-damn rat thing."
*Punts Pikachu into a tree*
"Hm, I guess I need pokemon to rob other trainers with."
*lobs ball at rat-thing, possibly braining it as well as catching it*

.... aaaah slapstick

Then it gets hit by a lawnmower.

POKEMON INTESTINES, ATTICUS: GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL.

I totally didn't notice the pikachu was there until after the last panel. Can't wait to see what Atticus does XD

I got white version when it came out, but I've only been able to play it off and on. Just got past the second gym leader (who I managed to beat with a full party, where at the very end I beat it with my evolved starter at 1 hp... I don't think I have ever beat someone with only 1hp total at the end collectively). That being said I am liking the game so far. The story is interesting and it is cool to only see new Pokemon (it's like playing red and blue again). So far you are the only person I "know" that has black version (air quotes around know for obvious reasons) and it would be awesome if we could trade/battle online sometime if you can play online. My friend code is 5286 0742 0350. Comment if you are interested. I know this will mostly likely be ignored but I was thinking, "Hey, you never know unless you ask.. you may be surprised." Love your comic and can't wait to see what happens next.

A wild pikachu appears
1. fight
2. bag
3. pokémon
4. run
Dragon thing used scratch
Critical hit
Wild pikachu was k.o
gained 18exp
Dragon thing grew to lv 8
Dragon thing learned ember

ouch, days?! blimey, i know they're not common but that girl's unlucky!

PUNT! ...or not I feel like if Atty punted this mouse thing, he'd get zappified. I kinda wanna se that now...

Hahahahaa awwww that pikachu was gonna get a trainer who loved it but now its gonna get... something ELSE.
Something else indeed.

INDEED.

good day, GOOD DAY.

Alright, POSSIBLE adeptation to my previous statement.
(A) He punts the pikachu, I will be pleased!
(B) He punts the pikachu, then for SOME reason or another, keeps it. But he MUST name it something bad. "Vermin" is my favorite nickname for a pikachu. "Rodent" is also a good one! I would recommend against using "rat-thing" as "dragon-thing" is the name of his charmander, and that might make the joke become a tad stale, if overused.

Lol. I wonder if Pikachu decides to stalk Atticus after he simply ignores it or does something to it. And because of this, the girl will follow the pikachu hence also stalking Atticus or become a leech/"friend" just to acquire that pikachu.

Can't say, though. pffft...

Pikachu Atty either kicks it or catches naming it Mousething

And pikachu rare??? Nah I've got 25 of the things from cathing alone the others I KO'd

That atticus is a pretty cool guy eh, Finds rare pokemon easily and doesn't afraid of anything.

Ohh, hopefully Aticus will catch a cooler pokemon

>=3 i hope this turns out like my battle against a pikachu did and after a nice long battle, run out of pokeballs and it flees leaving the girl with all her pokemon defeated and one badly injured

you think thats tough? try finding a pickachu that knows surf in Yellow Forest on the pokewalker

lmao that kid really need to learn to look around instead focusing in the inner monologues xD

"If the legend had one, it must be worth having"!?
Pikachu's are pathetic pokemon, besides being whores. I daresya they're the weakest electric pokemon out there. I had one, and it fainted on me every second frikkin battle. Even after I gave it HP up. Even after it evolved into Raichu. Even against water pokemon!
I loathed that thing so, so much.

The heart of the cards is cool and all, but it's worthless since none of the casinos have blackjack. Nooooo, they have to go with slot machines and Voltorb Flip.

Also, welcome to the "Relapse Club". We mostly just sit around playing Pokemon and remembering the years between us getting clean and the games drawing us back (for most, this time period is known as "puberty").

WHY Pokemon game references, Final Fantasy references, and now a Yu-Gi-Oh ref... why are you so awesome! And how could you not enjoy Ruby/Sapphire? That was the best generation IMO.
