Description
Chapter 27: Lost and Found Β |Table of Contents | Chapter 29: Whisper On a ScreamJust 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.

...I am sad that John didn't appear but yay! Leaf gets to fight the E4! Arnold was a beast in the comic. O.o What happened to the adorable baby Charizard from the last chapter? xD And I like your choice to humanize Giovanni rather than going with the shallow "I'm evil for no reason. I want to do bad things cause I'm a villain."Β
And Silver! The sequel is Johto! Johto Sequel confirmed! xD

Yeah, no John yet. OTL
And we'll be moving on to the E4!
Arnold is a beast. Don't wake the dragon. >:3
Thank you! He's my favorite villain so I really liked showing his character for once outside of Team Rocket.
Silver is a brat and I love it.

I might have just marathoned this until 2:30am, but I regret nothing.
I'm just gonna go ahead and fawn over Silver, too. Hes my favorite little squirt <3

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Silver is too precious the little snot

There's so much I like on this page. I love how Danny talks to Leaf, how Leaf talks to Dana and apologizes, and how you portrayed Giovanni and his family. It was all really good. Poor Arnold, I think it's a clever idea to show how Poke'mon are really effected by battle statuses like that.

Ahh, thank you~ I'm glad you liked this page so much and thank you for the very detailed feedback on what you loved! I really appreciate comments like this! :3
Oh god, my poor baby Arnold. ;w;
That hurt my heart.

Nice chapter, that Blast Burn looked pretty cool. Might the next chapter's title be a shout-out to the Icicle Works?

Danny lurking in the background of panel 3 is both awesome and frightening. It's actually a bit strange seeing her as the serious, no-nonsense mother in the present day again after seeing her draping herself over John and calling him sexy in the past.
I loved the panels with Penny; she looks beautiful as a Pidgeot, it makes me sad we won't get to see you draw her in action. And Liam's new design, of course, looks amazing!
The battle with Giovanni was really well done - I especially liked the Rhyhorn. I also liked the fact that you included a cameo of Silver, as it does humanise Giovanni to a degree that doesn't happen in the game.
And finally: Is Leaf wearing a new outfit during her battle with Giovanni? She looks very sophisticated!

Aerorwen In reply to Dark-Feanix [2015-01-20 00:49:48 +0000 UTC]
Lmao! Yeasssss. She is so pissed. Leaf sensed her motherly rage quickly wilted.
Danny was wild in her youth. John had a calming affect on her (and so did motherhood). XD
Thank you! I'll try to squeeze Penny in where I can, but it won't be much. ;w;
I do enjoy drawing her (and I know people like seeing her)
Oh man, thank you again! I'm not terribly great at battle scenes, but I really liked how this one came out. That Rhyhorn was way too fun to draw. XD
I couldn't resist showing that little brat and Giovanni's family dynamic.
Yep. Sorta anyway. It was a cold day in Kanto so she pulled out a new coat. :>

SILVER OMG
He's so cute in this. Best rival. <3
Yeah I didn't think you'd have much trouble with Poseidon on the team, the only threat there was rock-type moves. Can't wait to see what'll happen in Victory Road and against the league, though.

SILVERRRRRR~
How could I not include that little snot? XD
Yep. Poseidon ace'd that Gym. Thus the running gag- don't fight a Gyarados.
Fun stuff ahead.

Lmao! That Rhyhorn is lucky to be alive.
Giovanni should have just forfeited. XD
I'm glad it made you laugh though!
and Thank you~

Gotta love that 5 o'clock shadow.
He'll be okay. He just needs a trip to the Pokemon Center.
Silver =
He's 9 here. So precious~
I know!! ;w;/ I'll probably be able to squeeze her into the next chapter and maybe one or twice after that. It'll depend on how Chapter 29 is structured.
But yea- she's 100% safe. She survived the nuzlocke.
I know! I'm excited!

So is this Arnold's version of Blaze activating? Or is this something else altogether?

Aerorwen In reply to Silval58 [2015-01-20 00:25:12 +0000 UTC]
Yep, that's Arnold's Blaze.
And it's extremely bestial and intense. X)

It might be one of the best panels yet, imo. Giovanni's backstory, Leaf's apologies, the mom/daughter hug, the battle... Everything is great !

Oh, easily! XD
Every chapter has moved so far forward than the last that I've been able to say that each chapter is the best one yet. It's a good feeling.
Thank you so much~

I really like that you made Giovanni seem like an actual person as opposed to a mega super villain.Β
His expression after his rhyhorn got knocked out was hilarious.
Congratulations on getting this far in the nuzlocke! Β Your art in this comic has become insanely good! Β and little Silver is cute I'm going to keep him

Aerorwen In reply to RocCenere [2015-01-20 00:21:45 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Giovanni is easily my favorite pokemon villain but I have a hard time seeing him as being super evil, so I really wanted to balance crimes against good qualities.Β
I had a good chuckle drawing his facer there, lmao! XD
Oh man, thank you!! I'm so super proud of where the comic's at now.
Well, I won't be using him again, you are welcome to keep him. XD

RocCenere In reply to Aerorwen [2015-01-20 01:47:24 +0000 UTC]
The only one who ranks up with him, for me (in the manga, I haven't played the sinnoh games) is Cyrus. Β But that's because he's creepy af.
Giovanni seemed like your good old mafia boss. Β He'll do all the illegal things but it's family lunch time on sunday and no one had better disturb him. Β That's what he seemed like to me.
mini Silver is my bby now

Aerorwen In reply to RocCenere [2015-01-20 20:51:31 +0000 UTC]
Cyrus is definitely a close second. He's a really fascinating character. XD
Yep. That's Giovanni. He might not be the most lawful of men, but he cares about his family and his friends. X)

This is amazing ... it's really good to see Penny again ... ;w;
Also, that Ryhorn. XD
Also, also, if Giovanni became a family man, why'd his kid become a half @$$-ed brat?Β

I miss Penny- I wish she could stick around more. OTL

That Rhyhorn is precious. XD
he tried his best and failed miserably. lol

I don't think Giovanni would share with you.
