Description
Previous [link] // First [link] // Next: -coming eventually-What is consistency? What is anatomy? What are decent backgrounds??
Those who read the journal I posted earlier last week know that this is my second attempt at working on this update. I unfortunately lost the first file due to some technical errors and had to re-work on it. As tedious as it was to work on this update for a second time, I'm actually much happier with this second version than the first (unfortunately I don't have the first file to compare the two, but take my word for it.) I managed to remember most of what I had drawn in the first file, but changed and added a few things to this one. Mainly the ending since I wanted to have some fun with Cydian and Mason and end an update on a happier note for once. (I don't want to draw another Slaking for the rest of this run, but I think I got somewhat comfortable drawing Mason.)
This update was super rushed, but I really wanted to finish this before leaving back to the apartment since my classes start tomorrow and I'll be back to being busy. Maybe next time I'll be able to calmly work on an update and actually make decent backgrounds for a change.
In this update:
• Fight scenes in pretty much every panel. This update really pushed my limits in terms of drawing fight scenes. I ended up using a lot of references for certain panels. Hopefully I'll get better at action panels someday.
• Briss doesn't mess up a battle too badly for once. This is probably her proudest moment considering she's always had Oom by her side telling her what to do.
• What book is Briss looking through? Does anyone remember that Q&A from ages ago ? It's the "Pokemon: Hoenn Edition for Dummies" book that Oom threw at her. She kept it but never used it, until recently. You can expect to see more of it from now on.
• Briss and co. FINALLY get the 5th badge! I checked and the last time I drew a gym battle was back in 2012. It took 3 years, so this is quite an accomplishment. XD
Next time: pokemon center visit and maybe some shenanigans? But either way, they'll finally be leaving Petalburg and continue their journey. And still no Oom? Bummer.

Oh man, I'm sorry you got invested in my discontinued comic. I debated on whether or not to remove it for that reason, but figured some people might want to go back and re-read it and I also couldn't bring myself to delete years-worth of work from this account. I wrote a journal entry about my decision to discontinue this comic and even summarized what I had in mind for the ending (in case you didn't see it). Thank you for reading my comic though; I appreciate that you gave it a chance!

I'm sorry, deviantart isn't letting me add the link the way I used to with html. Since I can't seem to link it: the journal entry I mentioned can be accessed through my profile page. It's the only one on there. ^^

When will the next one will be? So far, this is one of my favorite nuzlockes in Hoenn, others are Shadeofshinon's Emerald Nuzlocke and Chiakiro's Chiaki's Nuzlocke.

Aww, I'm glad to hear it's one of your favorites! That's so nice to hear! ;u; And sadly I'm usually busy with college and clinic work, so I update whenever I get breaks from my classes. The next one might not be until June. ^^

I was starting to worry for Kip there! Glad to see he made it out of there okay!
Also Oom! a @ WHERE IS HE!?

Oh, hey Walton! It's been ages! Hope you're doing well!
A bit beat up, but yes, he managed to make it through!
Haha, I think everyone's wondering that at this point! C=

Dang, 3 years. You really don't notice, what with the update schedule. It's like, I check until There's a new one, but because I tend to see it in the pace of the plot, it doesn't feel like that long.
Wow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right?! Time really flies by! And you're right, it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I didn't notice until I checked and was also surprised at how long it had been. Getting the next badge won't take nearly as long though (at least, I'll make sure it doesn't). XD

Dammit, poor Kip is getting a smackdown here! Too bad swamperts apparently can't count past one. Though blocking even just one slaking's arm is pretty impressive. Though wait a sec, I thought super potions weren't allowed in Nuzlockes. Guess you used a different sort of rules, but I guess if Norman's going to be a healing cheapo, you've got right to be too.
Ha ha, Mason has to be Kip's personal ride. Don't know which of them to be sorry for, knowing how lazy slakings are. And yeah, action scenes can be tough. I certainly remember having to look at a ton of pictures for references. Hope the Winstrates won't be picking their teeth from finishing off a nice Oom shish-kebab cooked over hot lava by the time Briss actually gets to him. There appears to be quite a mild sense of urgency seeing as he's still in danger. Great chapter as always.

Yeah, I didn't follow the "no potions/items" rule. I only followed the main 3 (naming, faint=death, catch only 1st encounter on each route) since this was my first nuzlocke and I didn't want to challenge myself too much at the time. And yes, since GYM leaders always heal, might as well heal too. ='D
I doubt Mason was too thrilled about that, considering he technically didn't sign up for that when he became a GYM leader's pokemon. Ah, the benefits of being the GYM leader's kid~ Those action scenes nearly killed me, oh gosh. But yes, references are super useful for those! Thank goodness for that! I think there might be a mild sense of urgency partly because of how sporadic these updates are, so it's a bit hard to build the tension in a sense. ^^ And thanks! Glad you enjoyed this update!

Look at this cool page! I was thinking this couldn't get any more exciting. Look at that action! So nice!

Yeesh, that was a close battle! Glad Kip got through it, here's hoping that they can save Oom soon, now that they have a new badge.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it was a pretty close one! And hopefully they'll be able to get to him soon!

So my question about the focus punch. That is a move that needs charge up time and if Slaking gets hit, he will auto flinch out of it. So in the game, did that punch go off? Because if you did use strength, it would not have hit you.
Also, I love your comic and always love seeing updates. They are always a great treat when I see them in my inbox.

I was confused at first, but I see what you're saying now! I took some liberties with the update tbh. In-game, strength didn't happen during the same turn as focus punch. During the battle, Kip fell asleep due to Yawn and Slaking charged up for the focus punch. I used a chesto berry and then Slaking used focus punch during that same turn. Later on Kip used strength and the moves that followed are the ones that appeared after the focus punch-strength part in the comic. I changed the order of the initial moves they used, but it was only to try to make the battle a bit more interesting. But you're right; in-game, the focus punch wouldn't have hit if Kip had used strength in the same turn.
Aww, thank you! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying my comic! ='D

I hope Kip's okay, he nearly died, i think it lived with 1, 2 or 3 HP left.

I'm sure a trip to the pokemon center will fix him up. C= But yes, it was a pretty close battle!

I honestly didn't write the exact HP in my notes. I just noted that it was "in the low red." Yay past-me for taking EXCELLENT notes. ='D
