Halloo there! I'm back home, and just about managed to squeeze my update in on time. Well... *checks watch* Near enough.

Been a busy two weeks but a good two. Very interesting. Very different.

Serial Slasher's attacks are a lot easier to draw than Gutripper's.

See y'all soon.

Suprise why I keep reading

Reply cloud_wolfbane, 18 May 2012 09:28 pm

aww atty saved him, or is about to chuck him at sandslash, either way/.

Crazy b****!

... This is my favorite pokemon related comic as of now. Good job, I'm really enjoying and can't wait for next week.

BTW First Rating!

Atty has found the ultimate loophole in dodging, recall pokemon before they're hit.

Reply Shainanator (Guest), 18 May 2012 09:45 pm

Hmm... I'm not too sure, but I believe that might be a disqualification... Atticus is such a rule breaker :P

Reply Halosty (Guest), 18 May 2012 09:57 pm

Hmm I'd be slightly disappointed in Atty if he didn't get the one starting pokemon that is weak against this gym instead of super effective.

Yessssssssssssssss. We finally get to see Pikachu!

Reply peanutbutterpancakes, 18 May 2012 10:36 pm

These are the types of things I wish I could have actually done when I played the game.

Reply xryuran, 18 May 2012 10:45 pm

If only it were possible to actually do this...

Reply qazox, 18 May 2012 11:14 pm

Never thought a Gym Leader would have a Pokemon "cut up" another Pokemon like that.

Reply Asj, 18 May 2012 11:29 pm

DragonThing dodged! Pay no attention to the hands. :D
Those claws are huge. If Atty hadn't picked him up, would he literally be cut up?

Reply DracoMan, 18 May 2012 11:42 pm

@qazox it's not the gym leader

Reply Trassa, 18 May 2012 11:51 pm

I love Atticus and his unorthodox ways of doing things. XD

Reply Myriads of Blue, 18 May 2012 11:53 pm

...Hmmm, you can do that in a match?

Reply darkauras, 19 May 2012 12:13 am

That last panel is so cute. I love Atty and DT

Reply melaredblu, 19 May 2012 01:10 am

I'll just bet he's going to switch out his fire-type with an electric-type to battle a ground-type. This won't be pretty.

Reply Sharkie (Guest), 19 May 2012 01:11 am

The trainer that hates the adventure, is also the only one not to let their pokemon die for petty fighting.

Reply Merrsharr, 19 May 2012 02:08 am

Dragonthing, return.
Go, ugly Mousething!

Reply Frappecinno, 19 May 2012 03:00 am

Either its as the rest of these people are hoping for, and the Pikachu is being sent out (which I highly doubt), or he is going to realize he cant win at this moment in time, and now that he's starting to care for DT, he is going to admit defeat and go train rather than let him get severely injured.

Reply Jaizen, 19 May 2012 03:04 am

Will this lead to a mouseamabob(pikachu) sighting?

Reply Artic-fox1, 19 May 2012 03:14 am

he's soo cute and cuddley looking
i wanna cuddle him

Reply Connor (Guest), 19 May 2012 03:51 am

Well some-one needs to say it might as well be me:

ATTICUS WITHDREW DRAGONTHING.
ATTICUS SENT OUT PIKACHU.

my work here is done :)

Oh snap, someone's gonna have a bitch fit about this, I think. xD

Reply Mr. Henry, 19 May 2012 06:03 am

I like that second, smaller panel. It kinda works like a slo-mo shot, well I guess that was the point but still.

Reply Guest, 19 May 2012 06:07 am

Atty withdrew Dragonthing.

Reply jolt99 (Guest), 19 May 2012 06:16 am

withdrawal system What I'm interested in is which way of handling withdrawals H0ly will use. The anime is generally a withdrawal means you can no longer use the pokemon regardless, although it varies on the gym challenge. On the other hand in the game you are free to switch pokemon whenever you want.

Reply E-Raticate (Guest), 19 May 2012 07:25 am

Is it me or does serialslasher look a little stoned on the 6th panel?

Anyway really cool comic, been following for a while. Keep up H0ly ;)

Reply hellfire14, 19 May 2012 07:40 am

Wait...Pikachu's finally gonna get involved?
...Damn rat. He's had the limelight for too long.

Reply Kage-nyan, 19 May 2012 07:44 am

aw yeah, we finally will see him using other pokemon xD

Reply Someguy (Guest), 19 May 2012 07:48 am

DragonThing dodged!
Atticus is hit by the "Cut him up!"
It's super effective!
Atticus swears!
Atticus used "Throw DT at the stabby thing!"
DT used Slam!
SerialSlasher fainted!
DT fainted!
Atticus is the winner!

Reply Darr (Guest), 19 May 2012 07:54 am

NOT FAINTED YET dragonthing has yet to actually faint for real. Sure he has lost two battles, but it's nice to know he won't let his pokemon get too beat up.

Reply Inuzuka, 19 May 2012 11:10 am

That sand attack looked more like a sand tomb :P

Reply KaibaKitty, 19 May 2012 11:16 am

I can picture Atty chucking DT at sandslash's head.

Reply mind soup (Guest), 19 May 2012 11:36 am

HOLD UP Does this mean Atty will be forced to realize that he caught Pikachu

Reply kurik (Guest), 19 May 2012 11:38 am

Dawww...

Reply Raxis (Guest), 19 May 2012 11:40 am

@Shainanator: Yeah, if I remember properly from the show, a trainer interfering on his pokemon's behalf is grounds for disqualification.

Reply Cinnamon (Guest), 19 May 2012 01:19 pm

Everybody has predicted either Pikachu or disqualification so far.

What if he's simply forfeiting?

Reply Brokor, 19 May 2012 02:52 pm

The what? Was that the girl?

Reply Brokor, 19 May 2012 02:52 pm

@Brokor: No it wasn't.

Reply Ozimul (Guest), 19 May 2012 03:23 pm

Nope. No DT for you. George, you are Atty's next pokemon.

Reply DT_Fan (Guest), 19 May 2012 03:24 pm

Kyaa! More cute DT panels x3 Particularly those last three panels :P He looks so cute and cuddly and lovable. I might even get to start liking Atty if he keeps up being so timely.
Something about that 7th panel just makes me want to pick DT up and run away with him and care for him and luv him and all that stuff.

Reply Gutripper (Guest), 19 May 2012 03:42 pm

I'm sensing a well placed kick.

Reply Stone_Merten, 19 May 2012 05:45 pm

Pikachu? Heck no! We're going to pull out George's caterpie duh!

So its harder to draw sandslash..... than.... diglett?

Reply DaringDestiny, 20 May 2012 06:22 pm

She's getting a bit too excited about cutting up DT, guess she's pretty angry about him beating Gutripper

Reply Novijen, 20 May 2012 11:44 pm

Poor DT. I hope this isn't Atti throwing in the towel.

Reply darkgloomie (Guest), 21 May 2012 04:32 am

I'm sure DT's thinking "Who are you and what did you do to my trainer?"

Reply chaos-of-vinnie, 21 May 2012 12:13 pm

AWH! He picked him up how cute!!!
Though I feel this may forfeit him :S but he saved Dragonthing :D

Reply Hurricane_Scrambles (Guest), 21 May 2012 02:23 pm

I can't decide whether it's Atty or the crazy girl who remind me of most of Jared from Manly Guys Doing Manly Things..but one of them.
..Mostly in the "performing banned/unpermitted battle transgressions" area.

Reply VyperPunk, 21 May 2012 04:17 pm

Ha..I'm pretty sure you cant do that.. or can you?

Reply Aop (Guest), 21 May 2012 05:42 pm

Is it odd that I am so flabbergasted that I have never thought of doing that?

Reply ittybenten, 22 May 2012 06:40 am

Something Tells Me.. that this gym leader will screech something about this being against the rules. Screw her; Atty is a new trainer and frankly couldn't be bothered to give a crap. XD

Reply catbow, 22 May 2012 11:51 am

*Theme song starts* I wanna be somewhat good unlike atticuuuuus. To catch them is not his test. To train them is his flawwwws. He doesnt wanna travel across the land. To ignorant to search far and wide. With pokemon he will never understand. The power at his side. MOKEPON gotta ignore um all MOKEPON.

Reply Nanoth (Guest), 22 May 2012 06:57 pm

Exchanging Pokemon is not against the rules. The fact that his Charmander does not use Pokeballs is the reason he can extract them by hand, Ash did that a couple of times with Pikachu and replaced him with someone else when Pikachu couldn't leave the field by his own power...

Reply DD2 (Guest), 24 May 2012 05:26 pm

Love the comic! First comment, wanted to say overall it's great. A really enjoyable read, with a great style.

But I have to ask, finally, H0ly, whaaaat is your avatar of? I can't figure out what's going on there at all, and it's driving me nuts. o.o

Reply Kroki (Guest), 25 May 2012 11:22 am

Brilliant comic, I read it whole and was amazed by how your style improves, both in the drawing and in the narrative.
Congrats for all this excellent work, I'm eager to read the continuation. ^^
