Heh... am I the only one who see's it?
"What? Onix is evolving?"
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun...
"Congratulations! Onix evolved into... a pile of pebbles..."
Fun Fact: according to Pokémon Showdown's damage calculator, a Gen 1 Lv 11 Clefairy using Explosion vs a Gen 1 Lv 10 Onix would do around 50-60% damage to the Onix.
I. So. CALLED IT....no, I did! Back when rat was first freaking out about it several pages ago. It's okay. You can look. I'll wait.
Man, I knew that was why Rat was freaking out, and for good reason. Those things are walking satchel charges with a 'cute' appearance and soulless eyes. It's a wonder they don't use the bastards for excavation. ...or terrorism. Keep the Clefairies happy folks. Suicide bombers of the Pokemon world.
This was very gratifying though. That hiker prick totally had that coming.
hmm.*dust settles*
Atty: *stares in shock for a long tense moment. Finally wanders closer... kicks unconscious hiker... nudges unconcious clefairy.* ... ... ... *pokeball*
Yeah, yeah I know, you can't capture unconscious pokemon in the game, but even in the show not everything behaved exactly like the game. That would be boring and uninteresting.
Hate to say it, but I don't think that killed ol' Hiker. Personally, I don't like the idea of a Clefairy being the walking time-bomb, but I guess giving that to the Voltorb line is a little overdone already. This reminds me of one of those Pikachu shorts where Pikachu stumbles across a bunch of Clefairy harmlessly bouncing around... and they all Metronome Explosion.
That aside... the artwork in that last panel is disturbingly gorgeous for pen art.
Later...
Atty: Here.
Clefairy Girl: What's this?
Atty: You said you wanted one of these if I could get it. So....I caught one...
CG: Holy Crap! Really !?! Those things are impossible to find. And God knows when you do manage to find one the little smilin freaks blow themselves (and everything else) up faster than you can throw a pokeball at them... I don't know how many times I have nearly been killed trying to get one of these... (Looks Atty over...)
Speaking of which, you look fine... Shouldn't you be missing a limb, or have part of your face blown off or something?
