I was going to not post straight away, try build up some buffer, but I gave in. I just like to post fast... Keep myself on my toes. ... People telling you you're going through the comic too slowly can be wearing.

So this page is just to clarify once more, masked dude was reffering to ATTY as being LIKE Gary Oak. Calling him your typical rival. I'm hoping it's all making sense... As does Dragonthing's no longer extraordinary victory.

Oh and, I now have a link to vote for Mokepon on Top Webcomics! I would greatly appreciate if you did. You can see the rough version of this page if you vote, lil' insight into how I do my pages. If you're not interested in how I do my pages you could still vote anyway to be nice ='D

Everyone claims to know who the masked guy is... I'm not sure they do.

See y'all soon.

If I were Atty I'd demand a rematch

That's beautiful.
By making Atticus the rival just made this comic twice as good for some reason.
And i liked this comic already. ALOT.
And the masked guy. Totally know who it is.

Reply ServusSmith (Guest), 27 Sep 2010 06:54 pm

Atty is too cute in the last panel.

... I think Masked Man is either the bastard alternate universe clone of the good twin brother of Gary Oak 8\, Gold, or an OC.

Reply Asj, 27 Sep 2010 07:07 pm

Aww, it's so cute. ^_^ (Atty, and Kahn, and... this page)
I like the last bubble. It makes me think he's realizing that he didn't really win fairly or something. I donno. But, I think it helps me understand his expression.
I think I'd like it if Atty decides to train DragonThing and get strong enough to defeat Kahn for real. ...but, since Atty's known to be an idiot and a jerk, he'll probably disappoint me... (but his expressions look so promising to me... and he's acting so nice... I want to think that maybe he learned something, and be super nice now and- oh wait... that's what I always hated in anime. >_>" When the good-but-confused guy suddenly turns super happy. But... Atty looks so cute...)
By the way, the masked guy doesn't seem the same in this page... Why'd he seem so mad earlier, but here, he doesn't seem to care? The only thing he did was confirm something when asked.
I actually saw this comic in the "just updated" section a few minutes ago - (checks time) I mean, half an hour ago - but I think I found that too unexpected in order to remember to click on it sooner.

Hmm... (reads comments about masked guy) ...does that mean he might be someone we know? I thought he was just some stranger, but... well, the only person who comes to mind is Kahn's sister. And I think her hair's longer, and a little different, and I don't think she has anything but the Bulbazoid. ^_^"

I found jameswolf100's comment very funny, because I pictured Atty asking for a rematch, right then. When all his pokemon's fainted. For some reason, it's really easy for me to picture Atty doing that. ^_^"

Atticus seems to show more emotion then Kahn. D=

Poor Atty...I'd feel bad (and be very MAD) if that happened to me. He seems generally disappointed...can't blame him. I wonder how Dragonthing feels. Atty will probably loose that bit of faith he had in him, too. Possibly...maybe not. Can't see the future I guess. ^^;

And I do wonder who the guy/girl in the mask is. Won't make assumptions...sense I'll probably be wrong. >> Just eagerly await for the identity to be revealed! xD

Can't wait to see what happens next! =D

Blargh. I knew there had to be some kind of catch to Dragonthing winning that fight, but it just makes me sad to see it confirmed. Can't believe that possibility hadn't occured to me. He'd obviously been battling if he'd caught two pokemon... :\

And I totally know WHO the masked guy is. He's most likelyyy... Christina Aguilera. Probably. For real though, my first thought was that he's probably a member of the Elite Four, or a gym leader, or some other sort of official league type. Or a relative of such. ... Wait! Could it be...

Kahn magically had 2 more pokemon than before in that short amount of time so the fact that they were weak makes sense. Can't wait for atticus to get his own pokeball so he can catch a new pokething! Also, can't wait for pokemon black so I can name my grass starter Snakething.
