Fare thee well, Gutripper... Don't worry, he's fine, they're not ALL dying xD This is no nuzlocke. That Pidgey and Caterpie just... Uh... met particularly unfortunate circumstances. Hey, I'm not the evil one here having this Diglett get hurt and such! Making lil' animals fight is what this franchise is all ABOUT!

Yeah I know you can't do ember before a dig in the game. But the anime got away with WAY worse than that kinda thing.

D'aww look who's working together.

See y'all soon.

FIRST?! That's what you get for being stuck in the ground.

Go DT!

Reply Darkhalo4321, 27 Apr 2012 05:07 pm

Lol, Well in real time, I'm sure you could do any attack at any time you wanted anyways. Game play just likes to make life difficult.

Reply Ahsab (Guest), 27 Apr 2012 05:09 pm

You're making a comic about the pokemon world, game logic be damned!

Reply 1overx (Guest), 27 Apr 2012 05:10 pm

Hey, it's the first time Atty gave an attack command this battle (DT's really good at autonomous battling)!

Reply Ultimate the Hedgehog, 27 Apr 2012 05:17 pm

atticus looks... younger in this page.

anyway 5/5. nicely done.

Reply Nanoth (Guest), 27 Apr 2012 05:17 pm

@1overx: Wrong, Atty has given orders before, heck check the ending to the Forest section...

@H0lyhandgrenade: Been wondering, where is that avatar from???

Reply H0lyhandgrenade, 27 Apr 2012 05:20 pm

@Ultimate the Hedgehog: That's good =) I've been trying to make his age look more... Correct. Everything with my style is a work in progress xD

@Nanoth: It's Karl Pilkington from Idiot Abroad ^^

Absolutley love the last panel XD.

@Pharaoh Man: i'm not. i enjoy dragon-thing winning

Reply Calumrb22, 27 Apr 2012 05:58 pm

Surely... One day atty will learn the proper name for a pokemon attack, and when he does I might not believe it.

I always thought they should make a pokemon game where battles work in real time, it would be 3D like Colosseum, you would be able to move your pokemon freely across the battle field, moves have a charge time and a distance that the attack can reach.

Any who, great comic as always, keep on improving.

Aww, Atty's starting to get into the spirit of things. ^_^ (he's so cute doing that)

Reply iMo, 27 Apr 2012 06:27 pm

Haven't read this in a while. I read the past few pages that I've missed and I got to this page and kept repeatedly clicking the next button going, "NONONONONO" and then I looked at the post date and I was like, "Aw. . ."

Reply yoyoilluser, 27 Apr 2012 06:40 pm

Yay, you get him DT!

I am very glad that Atty and DT seem to have found SOME sort of connection, however faint, or at least some trust between them, and I can't wait to see how it progresses...

Also, you know at the start of the match, no terms were set up. Will she have another pokemon after Gutripper? I hope it's not a Geodude or Onix...

Reply DT_Fan (Guest), 27 Apr 2012 06:46 pm

Aww, DT is so cute. And how nice of Atty to give him advice and help him. Although I'm cheering for DT, I'm starting to become worried that if he wins he'll probably evolve soon :s Ugh, I hope it doesn't end too soon, but I guess I'll have to brace myself soon enough.

It's not that Atty cares DT, he just doesn't want to pay up if he loses. XD

I still can't help but read "Gutripper" as "Goo-Tripper".

Reply Jaizen, 27 Apr 2012 09:48 pm

I can't believe it Wow, he actually gave a command to DT. That's a first. Still didn't call the move by the right name but baby steps....baby steps.

The answer is because the cute ones that get on a person's nerves is first to either get set on fire, blown up or something along those lines... They just make it too easy! XD

Youth I think he looks a bit too young in panel 4. ...and a bit less Atty-like :p

Reply Inuzuka, 28 Apr 2012 08:29 am

Is it just me or does Atty's nose look too big?

Reply Kyn (Guest), 28 Apr 2012 12:59 pm

Atticus's Total Disregard... Atticus's Total Disregard for the rules of the pokemon universe has allowed him to do the impossible: Interrupt a dig attack. That is why Khan is all D:! She's never even heard of this ever happening before!

I bet Dragonthing will even learn more than 4 moves, too!

Reply pokeman92, 28 Apr 2012 02:49 pm

@LinkNinjaMaster: Join the club, I read the entire thing up to chapter 5 in 2 days when I first found this comic. At least the updates are regular, something I cannot say for most of the stuff I follow.

Reply tetralove, 28 Apr 2012 06:03 pm

D'AWWWW The way Atty's face looked concerned for DT in the 4th pannel seriously warmed my heart. :'3

*ahem* @Calumrb22: They already have done that, the poke-park games allowed for real time battles, but I guess one more like the Colosseum games would be better

You know what? Screw video game logic. The differences between that and the anime are many. you can't really compare the two without having problems anyway. So... yea

jussssst a sec.. I just noticed this is the FIRST TIME Atticus actually orders DT to attack! (while not precicley accurate on the type of attack), was this intended?

Reply Frappecinno, 29 Apr 2012 12:06 pm

To you know who you are; Atty has commanded DT to "Scratch it", before. This is NOT the first time he ordered an attack. Stop saying so, you only reveal your own ignorance. That is all....... Go, Space Broncos!~

Reply Luinwe (Guest), 29 Apr 2012 05:26 pm

so now i am wondering if gutripper has been doing the attack dig all this time just doing a seprate attack than the real thing

Reply Unclever title, 30 Apr 2012 08:25 am

Atty applies common sense to Pokemon... It's super effective! It makes sense for Atty to actually command DT for once considering that DT is currently blind.

Though it's interesting how much Atty hesitated.

Has he simply not been giving commands most of the time cause he thinks it's lame?

Reply zetina, 30 Apr 2012 08:53 am
