There was a slight amount of concern as to where I've been. Just to confirm, I didn't die. I had my dear Krazeh over to stay for a week from overseas so I had literally no time to make a comic page whatsoever- But since I feel bad when I miss updates unannounced, I decided to colour the page. Hope you like it.

People asked for it in their dozens! And I drew it! But they didn't spot it! So I give it you once more! I give you... Atty using DT to light his cigarette!!!!!

Have a nice day.

EDIT: A couple of points that have been raised... The reason I haven't answered the replies personally is because this way lets other people see easier.

Kahn did indeed use to have darker skin and hair, it's not changed. I just used a lighter colouring technique. He looks paler, but he's still got quite the nice tone compared to Atty.

The other point being about the word 'sat'. It's true, sat in this context is bad grammar, but is still (in England, at the very least) commonly used in spoken language. I guess Kahn isn't a grammar nazi ;3

Here comes the reply waggon!

Gibson Twist: Cheers man ;D

Pat-Man12: See 8D Right on time.

AyaWolf: Photoshop, as usual =) Thankyou!

SuperBiasedMan: It's a waste of a good resource. Some people are so ungrateful...

Staraito: Thanks dude =D

Pat-Man12: Better than a card but not quite as good as a present.

Dr. Rockso: This is the party venue.

Loverofpiggies: Thanks =3 There's still always C completely ignore DT...

Pat-Man12: It's the same character, just a lighter colouring technique.

MR.Zoet: And was beautifully not difficult to draw 8D

k33nblfs3: It's not a grin you'd want to wake up to at the very least.

Mosama: The very best... That no one ever was? XD It's a nice thought but my heart is with comics. Oh speaking of animation, I put Wolf on Newgrounds and your reccomendation and it got frontpage, so thanks a lot!!

Antylys: Glad you like it =D

Pride1289: The joy of being aknowledged.

AlkseeyaKC: Who knew Charmanders had teeth like that...

ApaFox: :D That's good enough for me

RammJacketMethod: Sly little pocket monster~

Taseli: Yeah I got quite a lot of messages about this- I'll put about it in the authors note to clarify.

Diao-chan: Lets hope the colour doesn't come about too often XD I don't want to get too behind.

CATman4L: Well at least knows he's worthy of appreciation...

kinnikufanchick: That's his job~

JunYo: When will he get with the program...

CaptainArmBrace: Kahn see what he did there :D

Death-Destination: Anything to be of use to him I suppose D8 Sad existance.

Shadowsonicstar: Although thinking about it he must have sat on Atty's knee for us to see it. Shhhh.

Kirlilly: I can scream, that's what I can do!

Christo556: I said I had to show him happy at some point x3

Raichi: Thank goodness for your sake that the rest of the comic will remain in black and white. See authors note.

Supersheep64: With work and dedication he might even develop into a grade A wailer.

Rainbird: Can't escape the love... Kinda creepy in a sense. What does a guy gotta do to make you hate them these days?

Newyorkdefendertalon: Ohhh we know him better than that.

Xtweetke: That's a lot of internet for such a tiny expression 8D

Hero of Comedy: He's slightly less likely to be abused, how does that sound.

Tataki: If there's a place for that to happen it's in the Pokemon world, surely...

FanFantasy: Kahn, I presume you mean 8D

Guest: Aye. See authors note.

Sifeus: Thankyou very much =) Makes me happy to hear. I hope you keep enjoying it.

Giras the Ebil: I hope people do like it because I can't promise when DT might smile again...

Pat-Man12: i no rite

Mr Aids: Cheers =D Ah that warms my stony heart to hear~

Aeris: He's been practicing that he has to have been.

lizwuzthere: If this doesn't earn him Atty's love what will?

Arghsdemeter: I'm afraid I won't be colouring every page XD It's just a think I generally do if I'm late for an update unannounced.

Hanaki: Colour <3

Marfleet1987: Ohhh now that would be telling 8D

Cals1607: How did you know D8

DracoMan: I did draw it once but it was very subtle x3

Harrow: He's not a saint D:

Shukumei: Thankyou =D There's truth in what you say- See the authors note.

Guest: Thanks man ;3 You got it. Oh no, Atty might get a tan... Doubt he'd be keen.

Megamaxmax: Well spotted ;3

Pat15: I don't hold myself responsible D8

ChiakiAida: Thanks =D I never expected it would get such a big response...

Kid Garra: Wow xD; Someone's concerned about me, that's unusual but pleasant. Thanks but don't worry, I'll take care of myself =3

HyrulePhantasian: Now I've gotta think of something cuter 8D

PRKoneko: I'm glad you like it =D I hope I can keep delivering! Mmmm. Salty.

Toboe059: He should shouldn't he D8 But there's more story left for that to happen in yet thankfully.

Thanks for commenting guys!

Why couldn't you ever use that hidden charmander ability in the Pokémon games?

I get the feeling Atty is either A. Going to be nice to DT, or B. Not going to be nice to DT. Its probably still the latter. :D

Lovely page here btw!

Reply Pat-Man12, 21 May 2010 12:01 pm

Either he is a new character or he dyed his hair brown and lost his tan...

Reply Shukumei (Guest), 22 May 2010 04:14 am

I was curious why there hadn't been an update in a while. I'm glad you are alright. Wonderful suprise with the comic being in color. DT is so cute with his "I saved your life. I'm awesome" face. One thing that seems out of place is the word "sat" in the text bubble, between "him" and "crying." I think it makes more sense by simply taking the word "sat" out. Great update as usual!
Edit: Sorry for repeating the "sat" thing. I didn't read the comments before posting. Now that you explained it in the author's note, I am curious about how it's commonly used in spoken language in England. It's funny how languages change. It doesn't seem like bad grammer anymore, seems like a random word added.

Reply Guest, 22 May 2010 05:16 am

What are you lot on about “lost his tan”? Just look at him compaired to Atty. Which does actually raise another question after all that time in the sun.

Reply Megamaxmax, 22 May 2010 08:45 am

The first time he lit his cig with DT was back in chapter 1 page 23

[Edit] ALSO(1), is there a link somewhere on here to vote for Mokepon on Top Web Comics? If there is, I hasn't founded it yet. ALSO(2), you might not understand just how horribly -wrong- the word "sat" seems there for those of us not in England. I had to re-read the sentence twice to understand what he was trying to say, lol. Not saying it should be changed or anything, just letting you know that it's far more than 'weird' to some of us. :P

Reply xXTheMadHatterXx, 24 May 2010 05:46 am

Oh man, dragonthing is so happy. C:
This could go one of two ways:
A) atty grudgingly pats dt on the head in thanks, dt's life is complete.
B) atty pulls an atty and ignores dt, crushing dt's feelings and hopes in a repetitive cycle that will end only when dt becomes numb to the world and no longer hopes for approval or affection from his trainer. Or her trainer, really, seeing as how in the pokemon games, the starter pokemon is the opposite gender of the hero. so wait. that would mean dt is a.... girl?? that.... seems odd.
