Chapter 8 Page 17

From the Author

George being back means my hand crying at all the extra lettering that needs to be done each page. And by the way, well spotted :> It IS the guy who called Atty an emo a couple of chapters ago. ... Though he's probably the only one who's going to be writing poetry about misery and despair now.

See y'all soon.

George, please, don't ever stop being you.

and you there, in the background! yeah you! don't walk away from this!!
(lol, first :P)

I dunno why, but it feels like you've drawn George differently...also I wonder when the next Q&A will happen!

Seriously, George must be dragging this guy around. I mean, why else come back to Cerulean when you have 3 badges anyway? Figured you needed a poke from Bill or something?

Um, George. Your guy that 'finds your advice helpful' is escaping.

Can Atty please just mug George for her Pokemon? Feels weird asking this since George is my favorite character, but I feel like she's Atty's least favorite character :P

I bet she just wouldn't leave him alone and he was just too much of a pushover to tell her to leave. And now that she is distracted he's taking his escape!!! XD Or just saw something behind him that REALLY wasn't worth staying for. >3>

@JokaNeko: George said she had to take Diglett's Cave since Mt. Moon was closed, therefore went to Vermillion City (and likely challenged the gym there) and then came to Cerulean obtaining the Cascade Badge third rather than second.

Someone should get that guy a cardboard box. They make you undetectable.

Also, nice catch, George.

@AFeralFurry A box? This isn't Metal Gear!

Yeah something is off about Atty. New haircut, maybe?

I'm getting the feeling that Jace doesn't really give a shit.

Srsly, though. Did the art style around George change or something? She looks different.

Be free Jace, be free!!!!

Did she really not notice the-

What am I even asking, of course she didn't she's George.

@Ultimate the Hedgehog: It seems to be a small art style shift. Atty looks a bit different too.

@sonics1030 !

George, maybe it's the outfit he's wearing. You know.

They may not realize it, but George and Atticus need each other. They each have traits that the other doesn't have and that could be used to help the other reign in their worst mannerisms and outlooks. I'm not even really talking about love or anything, I just get this feeling that they aren't whole by themselves...

Please, whatever you do, don't stop this series. Until it's over, of course. It's so different from the usual insert-original-character-who-turns-out-OP-at-Pokemon stories that you usually see and I love it.

It seems George has turned into that guy who goes "Stop! You have to check out the gym first!" then drags Jace to its entrance.

Jace, start running NOW!!! While you still have a chance!

@pokeman92: Since I've just recently read the comic, I can say this is pretty close to how George has been the entire time.

She's simply furious right now rather than friendly-ish.

And yeah, I can't wait for Atty to explain it's his fault the mountain exploded, haha. ^_^

To all those thinking george looks different: She's just got her hood down and H0ly no longer tones the pages so her hair is not as dark. She's still the same guys dont worry

Second to last panel, George looks so disdainful...

Wait... is that Cerulean cave in the background, or just a shadow?

@Drakey: just a shadow I'd think, cerulean cave isn't all THAT close to the nugget bridge.

I liked your old art style more. George was much cuter and Atticus' face was less round. Everyone's noses are also a lot bigger and defined now. It seems like you're trying to part away with the anime-esque style you had before.

Which is fine, though I do prefer the old one more.

3 badges! Wait what?! ow they had to go through diglett's tunnel, so I suppose he beat vermillion's and cerulean's, but that makes only two, he came too late to challenge pewter city gym so unless the league found a replacement (maybe that guy with the "paras is gay" shirt)

and well beating a rock gym and an electric gym with a Pidgeotto as starter is quite an achievement.. he might be stronger than Khan By now, which is surprising..

Well there is also te possibility that George said he had 3 badges to make Atty jealous (pff what a clueless girl!)

what do you guy thinks?

don't get your hope up @KiraTsukasa: it's been 6 years it started and more than 500 pages ago and Atty only have 1 badge! the odd for this comic to be finished one day is extremly low.
I suppose Holy finished art school by now.. Becoming a pro is not easy I'm sure she can do it and that she will be very busy in a few year or two..
Unless she starts putting more actions and less talk into Mokepon, it's clear that this comic will never meet its end (meaning here that it will meet a bit too early end)

@Ultimate the Hedgehog: Well her hood is down, I think she had her hood up for most of time before now.

Heh, it doesn't seem like she even gives a shit that her new partner just left.

Jace is making his escape!

@Mjoern: Maybe Holy will do a nonstandard ending or something.

*Shrug*

I certainly don't mind Mokepon going on for a fair bit longer.

Ah nobody can give poor old Atty a break.

And this is why you don't stand around, talking, with your eyes closed. Your captive - I mean, "friend" - escapes. :P

Thank You I just wanted to say thank you to Holy for creating this comic. It is one of the best pokemon comic strips i have ever seen and i wish you luck in the future.

Guys- I think the reason everyone thinks George looks different is because last time we saw her, I think H0ly was using the shading technique instead of inking. Therefore the lines are a lot more precise, and George's hair is no longer dark.

@Zero_Artist: I thought so too. Also, it may just be the fact that her hood isn't on.

Let that be a lesson. Stopping and helping people will get you followed by a George.

Someone needs to get Jace some running shoes

Lol kid calls it quits or saw his chance of freedom XD

Love Jace's blank stare.

Oh no he has my baby nephew's name!
