We interrupt this battle with a brief interlude. Didn't forget that these guys were watching, did you?

Sorry I didn't update on friday. I finished my page on the day whilst at my dad's, only to be told that their scanner wasn't working. Awsum. You know how things go. On the brightside, we're all back on schedule now! I have the next pages sorted so it should be smooth sailing for the summer.

EDIT: For your convenience. 'Bint' in the UK is a derogatory term for woman. And no, I haven't revealed yet who these people are or what they're doing. All you need to know is, they're in the forest, and all they're doing is watching.

EDITEDIT: Thad's hair is now light. Seriously. Guys. He's not Atty. Different face and whatnot. Thankyou.

See y'all soon.

Bint? Did he just call her "bint" which is Arabic for daughter (sometimes girl)? Or does the word mean something else?

I am calling this now. Those two watching are Atty and George from the future.

holy crap. for a second, i was like "wow...Atticus and the girl sure changed their looks." hahaha

Reply kchan11, 09 May 2011 07:08 pm

I never would have thought of it on my own, but now I really hope ProjectEgax is right! That would be epic! (although slightly overused, but who cares. ^_^)

Edit: mostly the second pannel reminds me of George...

Reply pwnlil, 09 May 2011 07:16 pm

for a second there I was like wait, how long have they been fighting, but don't worry I remembered them. X3

Reply godmoderncommander, 09 May 2011 07:24 pm

...Does anyone else but me realize that the British guy is missing an arm?

Reply Andromeda Lazuli, 09 May 2011 07:28 pm

Question... :3 Very nice, although I still wanna know what her name is... We already know his name but we have yet to know her's. Is her name gonna be said next time?

Reply One_by_One, 09 May 2011 07:32 pm

Although I doubt it...

These two "watching people" do bare an uncanny resemblance to Atticus and the girl*.

*I forgot her name.

+ Is his arm gone or is he just wearing the jacket over himself? Or maybe is his arm short? Is the sleeve too long? Is the sleeve his arm?!

I Must Know!

Reply SakasamaReinboo, 09 May 2011 07:37 pm

Yes... I did forget those two x'DD

I thought for a second there at Atticus had a suddenly new design, otl

At first I thought that Atticus and George had been fighting the stupid Metapod for so long that he grew facial hair and smexy long hair. XD A girl can dream.

So are you going to change the coloring of his hair in the older pages? Just wondering... Because of continuity purposes ... is all.

The difference in the enthusiasms of Atty and BugcatcherwhoISTILLwanttopunchintheface is quite funny.

Also, Thad doesn't have a right arm? :o I read the little message in the comic, and that's what I assumed, along with the sleeve.

Reply varsaigen, 09 May 2011 10:47 pm

And then there's the hair... The less spikes in the hair, the wimpier they are. A couple spikes mean they are a good person. Medium spikes means main character (usually). A tone of spikes indicates a Danger Alert. Avoid people with porcupine hair. They are a threat to society. XD

Somehow I did forget that they were there. Clearly it's because THE BATTLE WAS SO EXCITING IT OVERWHELMS THE SENSES. hurr

that isn't always true, just take a look at ash ketchum and phoenix wright! porcupine heads are awesome!

on another note, i had indeed forgot these two. i feel an intervention coming on...

Reply Lyra (Guest), 10 May 2011 12:06 am

It's the attitude that confuses me. Atticus is a lot less hot-headed, I guess, but they're both surly. And so far they're the only ones who are.

They look plenty different. :)

Reply Iarei (Guest), 10 May 2011 12:49 am

RyoSoulreaper <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 HOLY SHIT... is that a monocle earring? Plus he has a side-burn-mustache AND he's missing an arm. This guy is going to have to punch a meteor to get any cooler. He's reached max level, which I guess for the sake of pokemon game continuity is 1 for trainers...

Holy will never admit I exist because I refuse to get an account. That's o.k. Holy I still like you, I'm just crazy.

woah woah woah.

Is it me or does old british dude who seems to look like Atticus only have one arm? Look atthe last panel. theere is NOTHING in the sleeve. is he wearing it like a cape? Or does he have only one arm?

Reply Nex (Guest), 10 May 2011 08:08 am

It is intresting how no one reads anyone elses comment. There is way to much "is it me or is that guy missing an arm" and any way good work on the commic I can't wate for more, and I've now learnd some more British slang, Ya.

Reply Guest, 10 May 2011 08:29 am

It's not just that people ignore every other post, they asume your still going to read their's. Since Atty's a fan of pokemon world Top Gear he should know a bit about pokemon. “Today we're going to race this (supercar here) against this (pokemon here), the fastest pokemon (pause here) in the world.”

For those that don't know: Calling a girl a 'bint' is British slang for a tart, or just a stupid woman.

Reply interspark, 10 May 2011 02:49 pm

"bint" never heard that one before :P and they're probably on team rocket or something

Now they have to have a CLIMAX, for no particular reason really, just two mysterious bored people need to go FIGHT LITTLE CHILDREN!

the wanted signs from the laundromat (several pages back) suggested these two might be siblings. unless the guy married someone who is "wanted for being jailbait"

or so i read the itty bitty text

Reply Fan of pokemon (Guest), 12 May 2011 04:27 am

Awesome comic!!! This is sooo funny and cool, it's satisfying to see that some people are not following the rules of pokemon, were you have to give a command to attack, get robbed if lost a battle, even to wild pokemon, and cannot ignore battles.

Reply thoughts (Guest), 12 May 2011 05:28 am

logical answers ok, ne's not missing an arm, i think it's inside the jacket but not in the sleeve, like the jacket is just hung over his shoulders instead. also, while it's possible to find a resemblance between Atty and George, and the two mysterious people, i also saw how quickly people jumped on the idea and i'd reccomend we wait. i'm still betting for it to be Team Rocket or something, this comic isn't far enough in the general storyline to have such a major twist yet.

Reply gamemaster1_11@hotmail.com (Guest), 12 May 2011 11:02 am

HEY COMMENT ABOVE ME hey who ever posted the comment right above me....if he is just wearing his coat over his shoulders then why is there a random strap with a buckle or belt look on his shoulder it would be pointless if it wasnt there for any reason
even more pointless then the rest of his completley awesome outfit.
............
............
ya know after comparing the villians to atty and george the
resemblence kinda scared me
either
a. both of their parents have a double identity
or
b.there was a time warp with dialga
or c both of the above
and also the artist might have made them a little too similar

Reply The Purple Dinosaur (Guest), 12 May 2011 05:24 pm

Non-Smoker Lol and that stalker/angry/arse speaking guy isnt even smoking, plus he cant light one with one arm anyway, sooooo..... Yeah he isn't Atty's "SPACE DAD" or atty from the future..... XD

Reply Guest, 12 May 2011 07:48 pm

I don't think they're connected to Atty or George at all. It's probably just a coincidence that they resemble them.

I feel bad for the artist, I'd be pretty miffed about people jumping to conclusions if I were her.

Reply TacoLover (Guest), 12 May 2011 09:21 pm

ITS SO BRITISH, AS AN AMERICAN I CAN'T UNDERSTAND!!! But the page still looks very nice.

Reply littlebeast, 13 May 2011 02:53 pm

Raining on parades There's no way they're Atty and George from the future, unless they also had their memories wiped. Which, I suppose, could be possible. But it's starting to get convoluted.

Also, there's clearly SOMETHING in that sleeve. It doesn't look like a normal arm though. Maybe he's double-jointed. Or maybe it's a prosthetic. Or he's missing just his forearm.

Reply Bubbles (Guest), 13 May 2011 06:55 pm

@Guest two comments above me: Speculation is just something that artists and writers have to put up with, no matter what the genre and medium. It's just that in a place like this the fans can comment directly on each individual page and so it ends up being much more concentrated than if, say, thirty people on an entire blog site watched, idk, 'Son of the Vampire Mummy Werewolf', and posted entries speculating that the random scientist chick from 'Return of the Vampire Mummy Werewolf' was his babymama. There, it doesn't seem like much, but here, thirty people comes off as a lot.

That being said, when the artist/author flat out tells the fanbase that there is no connection whatsoever between Character A and Character B, and the speculation continues, then it's getting a bit out of hand.
