Dude. After a Feraligatr, I doubt your little worm is much to be worried about.
Not long until the end of this year of uni... End of deadlines... I can't wait! I have so much art I want to do this summer. And there's just one last project standing in the way of me doing it. One page of buffer left. Can I finish my schoolwork in time...
Oh wow... The extra comment hold over thing say what I believe several of us thought the next part of the speech have been. Actually, it there anything thing else it really could have been?
Maybe soulmates, or the same being, but those three are about it.
He's had a caterpie for MONTHS without it evolving? What the hell.
Of course DT is not going to hesitate on this bitch, he's been getting jumped by worm things in the woods all day. He even got poisoned.
DT's reward for wining - NOT getting used as a lighter for this cigarette.
Atty's gonna get a phone call two chapters from now. On the phone, will be a trainer who wants to battle him, because his Caterpie is in the top percentage of Caterpie.
Georgy: "How did he do that? You didn't tell it to attack or anything!"
Atticus: "Simple commands are for greenhorns. Strategic plans and instructions in briefings before the actuall battle will do the bill in a more efficent way."
Georgy: "What?"
Atticus: *sigh* "Maybe it was getting bored too.."
Hmm... the caterpie should win, since they trained and did everything the right way and stuff... but, I'm still happy that DragonThing knows a previously unheard of move. :D (um... the Attack without me telling you a thing attack)
*wants to do that to everyone who ever makes a speech like that*
...Even with that, I was somehow once obsessed with naruto...Even though at least 80% of every episode was comprised entirely of speeches exactly like that.
There are three options all you people who asked the same questions and so won't read this anyway didn't think of.
1 As mentioned, pokemon DON'T HAVE to evolve.
2 That was probably his first pokemon and he didn't say anything about how his training went. No win=no xp=not stronger.
3 If a joke is overused, others have probably mentioned it by now. To a group of people who thought of it already. Or having never seen it before don't get the referece.
This only works with caterpie, cause in either game or cartoon terms bug-boy should be on at least his third league attempt by now. (Ash is still 10). Stupid annoing bug catchers finally getting what they deserve.
Yep!I wasn't sure how, but I was pretty sure George wasn't going to lose her faith in Atticus. Now that this has happened she'll believe him to be a real master for giving a pokemon self-motivation. lol, What a great page.
TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL!Go Atty and DT! George will probably flip out even more and think Atty's the greatest trainer ever! Revolutionizing the entire Pokemon world with his unorthodox style of training!
Also, Atty better remember to get his money! I think that buggy kid just got his allowance. ;)
Am I the only person to remember how in the games if you get a pokemon that doesn't completely respect you, it does what it wants? I mean, Ash's charmander when he evolved ignored Ash most of the time.
Maybe this is kinda like that. DT respects his trainer so much and wants his love SO much that he's willing to prove to Atticus that he can do what Atticus wants without needing his instructions. Of course when push comes to shove I'm sure Atticus will say something like "you need to hide idiot" or "pft, he's behind you."
That was awesome, dragonthing showed that noob bug catcher who's boss. Then again Bug catcher guy was really annoying I am glad dragonthing made him shut up XD
Reality?So Dragonthing finally awakened that which other pokemon had lost when they got caught... the ability to get pissed off and attack without anybody telling them to.
Braticus's method of training seems to be finally paying off.
DT is probably feeling on top of the world right now with that little word "Thanks."
Come to think of it, it was never shown how we got from DT in a pokeball to DT nearly fainted and poisoned in the woods. Did he get him to scout ahead for a path, only to be lost in the forest's "mazelike paths"?
Wow nice DTlolz, I love DT now! Does this mean it really has been beating up bug pokemons before they got there :O wonder how many lvls it gained training itself! Looks like George's respect for Atticus will rekindle Xp.
I've always wondered about that...
"We've been through thick and thin, our friendship has-"
*strikes Caterpie down with one blow*
If you've been through so much, how is your Caterpie only third level? AND WHY ARE YOU STANDING NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE BEGINNING FOREST! It's always annoyed me when they're bragging about how they've been through so much with their pokemon that isn't even fifth level. And when they haven't left the entrance to the first forest in the game.
since i started reading this comic i wanted to play pokemon so i just dusted off my old game boy color and pokemon blue version (alas i dont have red)and i named my main guy atticus and his rival Kahn and my pokemon is charmander with the name DragonTing because dragon thing is too long:(
Just gonna say this much.I love you, Dragonthing. I love you, author. I was concerned for a moment last page that he was actually going to play by their stupid rules. Dragonthing said, "Fuck that noise."
By the way.To those who think Dragonthing's going to be out of control when he evolves, remember that as per the rules, Ash's Charmander only became uncontrollable because it belonged to another trainer first. Or something along those lines.
WOAHI was thinking that Dragon thing was either:
Annoyed and mad at that weak Caterpie and it doesn't wanna loose to a bug.
or
Dragonthing is finally smarter than the average pokemon and doesn't need to take orders to know what to do.
or both...
yeahI'd always wondered why you had to TELL your pokemon to GTFO of the way of an attack. Even if you have to point out to the thing "HEY. Time to use that super strong attack of yours!" it should be pretty obvious to incorporate some self defense.
YOU GO DRAGONTHING. Make that brat and his bug stfu.
I think we all know the non-pokemon solution here.... Walk up to Mr. Bug-Catcher over there, grab his net there, and start beating him with it. That'll teach him about disturbing random smoking teenagers' mellow.
So TrueWoot, DT has a mind of its own now. How nice. That shut that bug catcher up good. That's a little bit more like the show. I wish I could get started on a web comic eventually. So darn lazy, and I suck at drawing people.
