Description Chapter 27: Lost and Found Ā |Table of Contents | Chapter 29: Whisper On a Scream

Just FYI I'm using this switch to digital and slight style change to spring sudden and unexplained design changes on you and we're just going to pretend that Liam, Dana, and Poseidon always looked like that.

Oops I made Giovanni attractive.

Let's talk about Giovanni- who is just a huge mystery in-game. I chose to humanize him a bit here and show a more "family man" side of him. He did bad things... But I think he did them with good intentions and I think he was trying to fill a certain role. I think he cares about Silver and his wife. And I think that's why when an 11-year-old threatens him, Giovanni steps aside instead of ever hurting or even threatening to hurt a child.
As to what I think would happen between him and Team Rocket in Johto (2 years later) is something I will be showing either in the epilogue or as a sort side comic/history dump.

As far as the battle: Poseidon 1HKO'd all of his pokemon (which I thought would be redundant and pointless to show) and I let Arnold take the Nidoqueen and king. I did that so he get some extra experience before the E4.
In the battle with the Nidoqueen, she used body slam and Arnold was paralyzed (but it did very little damage). Like most people, I thought nothing of it and let him stay in and kept fighting.
Well, that's awfully callous when you think how terrifying it would be to have to fight while paralyzed.
He 1HKO'd the Nidoking with Blast Burn though. X)

Penny actually never evolved into Pigeot. She was boxed and I never took her out again. This might be the last time you see her- IDK.

And yes, I caught a lot of pokemon in Sevii (and you'll notice the number of "total pokemon" going up) but since I never actually used them, it seemed silly to devote a panel to their capture.

Made entirely in GIMP 2.8.14Ā

I'm Curious, is the redesigned Liam easier to draw?

I love the way you did blastburn as well as what looks like 'blaze' mode.

Did you model Giovanni's face off of anything other than his sprite/anime appearance? I really like what you did with him, I've always liked Giovanni in general and your take on him is quite pleasant... though Johto events imply his family situation takes some serious hits.

Aerorwen In reply to IcarusHector [2015-01-20 02:28:42 +0000 UTC]

Actually, yes. I like his design more so it makes drawing him more fun for me. X)

Thanks! And yep- blast burn and "blaze"

I did have one picture as a face model but since it was a single picture, it only goes so far. I've always really liked him too~ I'm glad that you liked him so much!
Yeah... Things take a bit of a nasty turn. :'D

Leaf, stop making faces at the competition's children. It's rude.

I was never a fan of Blast Burn until this moment. Now I wonder how many other moves I'd just love to see in action if only I could see them.

Aerorwen In reply to IridescentMirage [2015-01-20 02:23:55 +0000 UTC]

Pfft- Silver, stop making faces at competitors- it makes them even more determined to kick your dad's ass. XD

Oh? Haha, that's kinda cool! I've always wished we could see pokemon moves a little better. The anime does pretty good if you look up pics on Bulbapedia.

One little thing. In the world building facts, shouldn't it be "7 badges" not "8 badges".

Dana and Penny are precious, adorable bbys.
It's very very subtle right now yeah. Dana is glued to his shoulder from now on though and they're very buddy-buddy.
I fawn over my own ships, I am the ultimate loser. XD

Agreed. XD

Woah, Arnold can be scary when he's put into a corner like that. It's okay, dude. I love the design updates to Liam and Poseidon- they look incredibly powerful!

As always, I love your more fleshed out take on the characters in the Pokemon world. Humanizing Giovanni is always a good move- villains are so much more interesting when they can be empathized with. However, I looked back through the archives, and I don't remember Red ever actually fighting Giovanni before in the comic. The Saffron arc seemed to be pretty much all John, so I'm a little confused as to how Red knows about all of Giovanni's connections to Team Rocket. Help?

"Whisper On A Scream," eh? That sounds...lovely. Don't kill off anyone...

Arnold is very scary (and it hurts my heart when he's like that) ;w;

Haha, aww. Thank you! I really enjoy writing characters and I've always really liked Giovanni.
Red fought Giovanni in Chapter 16 (Tisha accompanied her) in the Team Rocket Hideout below the Game Corner in Celadon.

Oh, duh! The Giovanni fight is Celadon, not Saffron...shows how much I remember the actual events of the games, haha!

Aerorwen In reply to ChineseViking [2015-01-20 19:12:35 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's actually in both parts of the game, but Poseidon, you know, decimated Giovanni in Saffron anyway, but letting John take care of it was more exciting. XD
It's cool though.

Aero you're a lifesaver I had something with a lot of fireyness to draw and it jsut wasn't working out to the standard I wanted. Thanks, I'll give the technique a whirl! ^^

Aerorwen In reply to MistyDawnAmara [2015-01-20 20:49:22 +0000 UTC]

No problem! :3
I hope the technique works out for you! It's mostly scribbling color and then smudging it (and remember that fire is heat and heat rises so the flame tips should never point down)!

šŸ‘: 0 ā©: 1

MistyDawnAmara In reply to Aerorwen [2015-01-21 11:11:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it turned out great. I experimented a bit too and found out that a slight motion blur in the direction of the flames smudges them more and kinda blurs them so it looks like they're flickering over time.

^me screaming desperately at my laptop about five minutes ago ;_;

The designs all look really cool, btw

Giovanni's response to being forcefully reminded that Leaf has a Gyarados cracked me up XDXDĀ 

And Silver is such a snot-nosed lil brat... (but I have too many "poor bby" feelings about my Silver to hate him for it XD) You actually painted a really good picture of their dynamic as a family here. You get the impression that both Ariana and Silver are spoiled rotten XDĀ

Thank you~

Leaf uses Gyarados
Giovanni's confidence sharply decreases.


Yes, yes he is.
But it's okay.
I'm glad that the family dynamic showed!
They are definitely both spoiled rotten. But now that papa's about out of a job... ... They won't be so spoiled anymore. X'D

Really cool, lot's of character development. I like the Silver - Giovanni link, if this canon or your own idea?

Btw, I think you made a little mistake in the world building fact about the Viridian gym. It says you need 8 badges to challenge the gym, but I assume this should be 7?
