Comics - Chapter 4 Page 18

Yes thank you Dragonthing! His speech was annoying.

:D

Though I am disappointed that he didn't learn Ember. Or, maybe he didn't use it. Who knows.

Never dick around with big speeches. Go straight for the attack.

Oh ho! All of Atticus' lazy!training has paid off! Dragonthing has learned Self Motivation (Or is that an ability? XD)

Whoa! A Pokemon deciding for itself that a Caterpie was not worth its time and it better kill it fast. Yes, George, it really does happen.

:D Sorry Bugcatcher. Maybe next time. (though, all that time and its still a caterpie? rip off)

A tamed pokemon that attacks of its own accord!

A REVOLUTION IS UPON US. I CAN SEE IT CLEAR AS DAY!

*high fives DT* That was awesome. XD Great timing too.
I love that little Charmander! >u<

Uh oh, is someone getting jealous here?

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.

GO CHAR CHAR! I love Lizard thing....I really do.

maybe he didn't like bugs xD

10 points!

George stop it! Close your mouth!

Imagine how easy EV training would be if there was an auto-battle option.

I know he bored me.

Hm... Dragonthing's independent. :)

Cause thiere awsome!and abnormal...

WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS! I swear I thought he was going to sing that.

Awesome comic.

But doesn't that mean DT's doing all the work...? D:

I think dragonthing got jealous and released all of his inner insecurities and anger onto catterpie.
MY PREDICTIONS ARE GETTING BETTER, NO?

The alt text made me quite literally laugh out loud XD

Also, <overused joke> it's like his Caterpie is in the top percentage of Caterpie! </overused joke>

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.

@Tamoria: I was going to say the same thing!

"You should know this isn't just any Caterpie. It's in the top percentage of caterpie!"

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.

DT: PIMP SLAP THAT ASS!

I find it hilarious how the one who interupts his speech was Dragonthing

Eric the Ca-ter-pie. "One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally."

I think Atticus is rubbing off on Dragonthing XDD

LOL "Thanks" I really do hate all of the talk trainers do in the game before the battle. ;)
GO DT!

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.."

They're all the same bug catchers. You go Dragonthing!

That was hilarious! Good Show Dragonthing! Wonder how this caterpie and this boy have been training for months and it hasnt evolved yet

A pokemon doing what it wants to. GASP!!!

Haha! Omg that's freakin hilarious.. I love you DT, I really do..

Sad but hilarious at the same time. Dragonthing just attacking Caterpie during the middle of that close brother speech. FUNNA!!! XD

Gee, Bugcatchers are lame He spent months training it and it hasn't evolved? I can evolve a Caterpie in like... ten minutes. give or take.

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)

Dragonthing
is my favorite pokemon ;w;

If he's spent months with it, that Caterpie must be like, level 50 and he's just never evolved it.

IT'S GOING TO KILL DT, IT'S JUST PLAYING DEAD

*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.

MAKES NO SENSE.

That kid reminds of me of Tom Sawyer or something xD

Oh, Atticus and his glory over short-lived, intercepted sentimental speeches.

<overused joke> it's like his Caterpie is in the top percentage of Caterpie! </overused joke>

K.O
finish him!!!!!!!

...It's only a matter of time before pokemon start to listen to their own orders and rule over the human race.

Really? OMG, I love you DragonThing.

I really like that atticus's jerk!training worked.

I like to think he and dragonthing will turn into jerk!buddies.

and DT will chill with Atticus, and act like a lighter, and they will be generally dismissive of everyone.

together.

<3

I think it's a beautiful vision.

The way George reacts, she thinks Pokemon are mindless drones that need instructing for every simple task...

Hnng, get ready to LURN A LUSSON GURL.

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.

yet again George is absolutely cute, XD but this time for her stupidity or ignorance of how awesome DragonThing is :D

DT can attack without instructions?
Oh my, that will be so fun once it becomes a Charizard.

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.

scratch you should of put pimp slap since thats what happened.

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. ;)

HIS CATERPIE IS IN THE TOP PERCENTAGE OF ALL CATERPIES.

Am I the only one curious as to what bug dude was about to say next? That seemed like it had potential for awkward. xD

No friendship involved!

Omfg, Atty controls Dragonthing with his MIND!
D:!

lol

oh god if DT starts to act more like atty hes gona be 1 bad ass charmelion :T and charizard :T probaly spelt charmelion wrong but idfc :D

*bitch slap* X'D

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."

I love people and their bugs getting owned during a speech. DT rocks

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

Overused joke: "His Caterpie is..."

Oh wait. It's overused so probably not funny any more. Huh. Wonder why no one else realised this.

can i take out my earplugs now?

lol
DT is turning into archie
XD

DT:"GET ON WITH IT"
Atty:"YEAH GET ON WITH IT"
every wild pokemon in the forest:"GET ON WITH IT!!"

With this power.... he could defeat ANY trainer.

Fucking owned.

@blizzard (Guest)
Monty Python?! 8D

Love this page. DT is getting self-actualized.

ahhh you know just how to please the readers, everyone likes to see a bug catcher get beat ^^

So, would Atticus be good at the Battle Palace?

AAHAHAHAH HOW BADASS XDD

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.

I can only wonder what was going to come after 'brothers'.

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"?

I'm starting to feel like DT is going to grow up to be one bad ass Charizard

ahh, Atty stopped using DT's tail flame as a lighter

LMAO! "Maybe it got bored too xD"

I can't wait to see it evolve. Then I wonder what Atticus will do with DT!!!!

Wow nice DT lolz, 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:(

Uck.... Methinks you missed a letter... other than that, that is all.

I just lol'ed so hard

what, no pikachu? darn. ^^ this page made me laugh.

Cuz Dragonthing is gonna get hell if he doesn't shut up that kid XD

DT's response made me lol. Your alt text made me lol much harder.

LOL Dragon Thing says "cool story bro"

OTP: Bug Catcher x Caterpie

Oh shhii- I just realized...Once DT evolves and becomes like a Charizard...he's gonna be come so disobedient and whoop Atty's butt hardcore.

Or at least become like Ash's Charizard.

DT trains alone, thus making him self sufficient? Or just very cranky?

Maybe being AROUND his trainer made him cranky xD

They can fight on their own. I mean, you see wild pokemon just sitting their like they're edad? Naw, they scratch your ankles to shreds. =w=

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.

poor old bug catcher.
good old bug catcher.
i got your back bug catcher.

WOAH I 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...

*Insert Sonic fail music*

O_o DT should always stay a Charmander. There's no need for his lighter to ever evolve.

Memories and love can only go so far. Trash Pokemon are still trash.

Love this comic, also for the first time I noticed in the description at the top, "Updates Mondays and Fridays"

Ya, a little slow on that one for some reason.

I always hated bug catchers, and that one is getting what he deserves, go DragonThing!

hahaha DT only attacked because he was jealous!

"I DUN WANNA HEAR IT! MY MASTER HATES ME!"

O.o "..." XD DT, THAT WAS JUST EPIC!!! Besides, no one wants to hear that boring and most likely long winded speech anyway... DO IT AGAIN!!! XD

yeah I'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.

Dragonthing is in the top percentage of all charmanders.

Dragonthing Took a Level in Badass. It evolved into Combat Pragmatist.

Caterpie has to get back to kitchen and make Dragonthing a sandwich.

all he did was remember Atty telling him that once to scratch and he could do it whenever he felt like it :) what a smart dragonthing

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.

Lol, just gives me a mental image of Atty lighting his cigarette on Dragonthing's tail

Next up we have beedrill
speech: my beedrill's drill will price the heavens now GIAGA DRILL BRAKER!!!!!!!!!!
youtube beedrill15 go look it up

I spend about five minutes training a Caterpie, stuff it in a box and never look at it again. THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY POKEMON. SILLY BUG CATCHER.

Wow, epic speech fail!
Is it me, or is Dragonthing starting to act like Atticus

pets usually resemble their owners

XDDD Ooh my god that made me laugh so much!!
Rotfl! Go DT!

All that "special" training paid off.

ouch... NICE suckerpunch!

So True Woot, 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.

The alt text, holy shit. I laughed a lot louder than I should have.

This page is my favorite. I just thought I would let you know.

You are amazing. This is amazing. I love this. I love this so much. I bow in awe of you.

AWHYEAHLOVERS!! AWH YEAH, NOT ONLY BROTHERS, BUT ALSO LOVERS...!! 8''D . . . does that go as incest AND bestiality...? o3o

joeys brother? my caterpies the top percentage of caterpie!

I'm disappointed that the bug trainer didn't wipe the floor with Atticus.

Sheesh; he's had the Caterpie for months?!
He should have a Butterfree by now.
