Comics - Chapter 10 Page 93

He's forgotten, if ever he knew, how to respond to people being nice to him.

I bet $10 that, that's his dad. Or some relative that forgot about him because of his Gym Leader life.

Dude, stop. @King_Kindred:
If you keep making these bets and then paying Holly when it turns out that he isn't related then Atty's NEVER going to find an estranged parent.

@Iarei:
What?

I still think he's Gabe.

@Anon: How can he be Gabe? Gabe is the guy with the mask

Reasons like this are why the protagonist was mute in the manga and games.

This new guy was right...he was being bullied, and it was wrong...glad someone realized that!

Come on bro, let the boy cry in peace.

FEELS I'm feeling so many emotions right now. Atty is at a real low point and then this complete stranger comes along, omg, I seriously what to see more of this guy (what's his name?). I seriously hope Atty lets those jerks have it!!!!

A decent human being? In this comic?

What's the catch?

@(Guest): more like, What a tweest!

It's just a theory. A Dad Theory! New character? Atty's dad!

H0ly, the end of this comic better involve the revelation that EVERYONE was Atty's dad all along. It seems to be the only way to satisfy the fans.

@Takeshre: FATHERCEPTION

@Takeshre: we know that Brock is his real Daady..

@Takeshre: The wit. The cleverness. Stupendous. That was truly a grand comment. Best of the year, in fact. I proudly award you with the Internet. All of it. It's yours. Congratulations.

RE: It's just a theory. A Dad Theory! @Takeshre: That would have been one very large, very awkward gangbang.

@Takeshre: Even the Trix, George, and his mother?

I'm pretty sure your response will be "Especially Trix, George, and his mother."

@MistsOfABygoneEra: I actually considered adding in something like "Even his mom is also his dad," but figured I'd leave it to the imagination.

So, yes, especially Trix, George, and his mother.

On top of everything, now Atty's having a gay crisis

Wow!
Someone is finally being nice to Atty...

HE HAS GOTTA HAVE SOME ULTERIOR MOTIVE!
EVIL!
FLEE ATTY!

There's a typo in the alt-text...

@Daevin: where? it looks fine to me.

@SaviourInDistress: They were right, I already fixed it :>

@H0lyhandgrenade: You and your ninja fixes :P

Where's George when you need her.

I rather like the dad theory for this one. At least it seems a decent possibility. Remember, heredity is when you look like your father, environment is when you look like the mailman.

@Marduk: what if the mailman secretly IS your father?

The dad theory is interesting... but is it necessarily Atty's dad? He sorta looks like Kahn.

@cesium133: Huh. Now that would actually make sense! Atty was already the Gary Oak when he fought Kahn before. Also WHO ELSE in this comic besides Kahn has been shown to be a decent human being? Yeah, that list is small. I'm placing my bet on Kahn's dad. :D

"HOW COULD YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT THE MATCH WHILE I'M MOURNING FISH???"

The next page Atty runs back to the man, you think he's gonna tackle hug the guy for attempting to cheer him up, before jumping into the waters to never be seen again.

Welp, to be fair, Atty has more social skills than I do.

at least say thanks jfc

I ship it.
I mean the ship has already sailed. :j

WHERE IS THE MAGIC GARADOS?!? ... gerados? garadose? gara... hmm i should learn how to spell stuff.

@drako234: It is spelt "Gyarados". Note the "y".

Last thing Atticus wants is pity.

How could that man be atty's father when his father is obviously George?

@Vinviro: your comment made my day XD

Looks a tad like Khan.

In which Atty goes back to punch someone in the face

Just a guess That guy looks like Gabe...

Have you read subtext from the page before?

I have a few theories on who this guy really is, but when it comes right down to it... I DON'T CARE. It doesn't matter who he is. I just need to hug him to death for being one of the few sane people around.

Great work, H0ly!

My Guess is he's gonna Jump Ship and get Fish back, maybe Rat will try and save him from Drowning but then Fish Evolves for Rematch City
That or he's gonna quit TR, or maybe both

I am not sure if anyone thought of this but what happened to fish was technically a crime. I mean it was pretty cruel to harm fish like that. Also isn't kinda hypocritical if you bully the hell out of a kid because you think he is stuck up since he picked a charmander when you are using one to traumatize him. No wonder a kid like him joined team rocket

He's actually just leaving because this is the greatest social interaction he's ever experienced, and he wants to end it before it can get sullied.

Team Rocket Don't know if they're really the bad guys anymore.

To be fair, this might be the best reaction he could have right now. After what he's been through...

Don't cry, Atty! You'll make me cry! Then we'll just have a mess!

You are all wrong, Atty isn't going to go cry. He is going to go back in that jerk filled room challenge one of them again and kick some butt.

(Or Atty could be off to find a lifeboat and search for fish)

To be fair, the last adult to empathize with him ended up recruiting him for Team Rocket.

No, this is obviously Atty's half-brother. Also Abel's son.

Aww, how delightful. I shall take this at face value and hope he is genuine about this and not some secret douchebag. Atty does need some positive reinforcement in his life...that he'll accept.
