I think Atty might be hitting his wall. I also think I'm starting to get better with pencils. Though I've essentially started using them nearly like ink pens xD; I'm terrible at saving myself time... Fortunately still a bit faster than actual inking.

This page is slightly longer than the others. It follows a more typical comic page size. I think I might start sticking with this... Jury's still out on that one.

See y'all soon.

If there was a wall in front of him, it would already have a dent of his face in it.

Woooot! Go Atty! Or do what I do. Run back to the Pokemon center really quick to heal, and THEN beat him.

Reply Foxblaze, 27 Jul 2012 07:25 pm

Omg, I'm first?! ^^

Atty is right, that is totally not fair!

-EDIT- Darn it! Nvm.... at least I'm 3rd...

@_@ Oh boy...I hope he does well.

Come on Atty!
Give him the finger, and go to the Pokecenter and GTFO.

So are these guys like the Benkei of jumpers?

Poor Atty. He will probably have to fight anyway.

the penciling looks great, no worries

Awww poop. Zelkova beat me to it! XD

You can do it Brent!

Reply undeadoranges (Guest), 27 Jul 2012 09:28 pm

I believe in you, Atty!

((And sorry for nitpicking, but in the title text it should be "write," not "right." For some reason it really throws me when the two get mixed up.))

irn tail It's OK just have Pikachu use iron tail on his pokemon.
it would be a total upset, and I for one would be smiling :)
oh and he seems to be missing his black eye when did that go away?

Reply LilyLackLuster, 27 Jul 2012 09:49 pm

Atty has really nice eyes in that 4th panel but, what happened to his black eye, or does he just heal fast?

Reply Tailikku, 27 Jul 2012 09:51 pm

ATTICUS.

@LilyLackLuster: ? I put it there... Is it too unclear?

Reply Ultimate the Hedgehog, 27 Jul 2012 10:28 pm

@H0lyhandgrenade: nope. its not there.

Reply Tailikku, 27 Jul 2012 10:54 pm

The black eye is definitely there, but maybe some people are looking near the bottom instead of near the top of the eye

Reply Mythee, 27 Jul 2012 11:13 pm

The black eye isn't super obvious but I'm ok with that because his face injuries are making me cringe with owch

Reply anon (Guest), 27 Jul 2012 11:20 pm

@H0lyhandgrenade: the blood from a black eye pools under it not above. i think that is what throws us off. it looks like shading more than a bruise

Reply Liana (Guest), 27 Jul 2012 11:37 pm

Come on guys atty has to win. the story can't stand to make atty lose something as important as his jumper! that's crazy! He has to win! :P

Reply Connor (Guest), 27 Jul 2012 11:59 pm

If he's lucky his smokes will set off the sprinkles (and kill the onix).

Reply Guest, 28 Jul 2012 12:00 am

New theory. Atty's about to lose, when officer Jenny bursts in to arest these two for scamming trainers in their gym.

Reply qazox, 28 Jul 2012 12:30 am

@ Guest: Sound about right.

Other than there might not be an Officer Jenny...

Reply Z2 (Guest), 28 Jul 2012 12:35 am

So you hate writing those words, eh? Well right here they're as appropriate as they've ever been. Stein is supposedly the top official in a government sponsored organisation possessing many iterations that all heavily focus on RULES. Stein practically ordering an ordinary citizen to gamble for a chance at something Stein is supposed to offer for free is completely unacceptable. "That's not fair and this tool should be fired for it," is probably the appropriate sentence.

Also, I sincerely hope your character who hated the words 'Not fair' wasn't supposed to be anything like sympathetic. Yeah, maybe life isn't fair, but the PURSUIT of justice and parity and objection to the lack thereof is the driving force behind countless heroes REAL and fictional.

Reply Treason, 28 Jul 2012 06:33 am

Just to be a dick, Atty should probably have DT set the jumper on fire if he loses and is forced to hand it over.

Reply AtoriCoture, 28 Jul 2012 06:44 am

Something To think about Atty. I beet Brock, when he was Gym Leader there, with a pikachu (aka Rat Thing).

Reply Captain LeBubbles, 28 Jul 2012 09:40 am

Stein is being a massive bag of dicks here. Not only is he doing all the things Z2 said, but he's also forcing Atty into a battle using a Pokemon that has already been through one battle recently, that he nearly lost. It's true Atty started the battle with Elle thinking she was the gym leader, but when he did his Pokemon was at full health, NOT in the red.

I find the usual size easier to read, since they fit on my screen and these don't D:

Ahh Atty save urself! You get so much depth from your pencil technique. I like it!

Reply Soul Moony, 28 Jul 2012 12:39 pm

Ok no worries Atty cant lose his jumper is almost necesary for the story to continue xD ok jokes appart... Atty, now is time to heal DT or to try to beat an onix with a massive underlevel and with type disvantage Rat thing. GO ATTY!

Reply IcyGwyn (Guest), 28 Jul 2012 01:29 pm

Rat used Iron Tail

Reply ProjectEgax, 28 Jul 2012 02:41 pm

At least let the poor guy heal his Pokemon before his ass gets kicked.

Reply +bird+ (Guest), 28 Jul 2012 05:19 pm

I like the darker shading! Also, I get your weariness...I remember Ikuto from Nagasarete Airantou and his trigger word "impossible". Good luck Atty! >/\< Also, seeing Elle casually wave after getting him further into a wall pissed me off! I still like her though. XD

Reply tektonik, 28 Jul 2012 06:41 pm

Pencils still look good. I'm surprised the page looks clean even after you've used pencils and scanned it. :D

Reply Blable, 28 Jul 2012 07:45 pm

Pfft, Atty should totally be like, "F this sh...I'm out =3=" That jumper is to godly to just give away to a mere mortal BD.

Though...I get a sort of "..about to cry?" feels from Atty in the last panel. I mean, here you have a guy who didn't want to do this in the first place being trapped by both the gym people but George as well.

If that were me, I'd do the "...I'm out" thing.

But yes...this would be a good opportunity for Pikachu to make an appearance, it is a super power pokemon after all BD...

Reply Iarei (Guest), 28 Jul 2012 08:09 pm

I think you'll find my counter-offer fair and reasonable; If I win I get your left nipple. Wait, if sand-slash girl conceded defeat, shouldn't she be giving Atticus money? If she isn't, then why hasn't Atticus blacked out from sheer confusion yet?

Reply Blooper (Guest), 28 Jul 2012 08:16 pm

This'll probably sound really weird, but i have an irrational love for the last panel. The perspective is amazing. Great job.

Reply Redrafter, 28 Jul 2012 09:19 pm

Okay, but seriously, what's with everyone and his jumper? It's like the top currency, like a level 1 mew. (I love references).
