I am forever grateful to FireRed/LeafGreen for teaching us how Pokemon use TMs and HMs. Taters isn't so much. And you guys know that fountain pond in Ecruteak city? That was the first place I surfed and I felt so... :iconimhappyplz:

This one mostly stars Pepsi, although I think I managed to squeeze every member of the team in there somewhere. I'm quite proud of that. Poor Yolk has only showed up in this comic, like, three times.

I think I can safely say that Pepsi is my favorite member of the team. Usually it's my starter, and I do really like Taters, and everyone else, but Pepsi is quite awesome.

He is also not poisonous. I swear he isn't. He never poisoned anything. His ability, much to my surprise, isn't even Poison Point. When I caught him, I just figured it was and didn't even check. Then he went through battle after battle, poisoning nothing, and I looked. Whoops, Rivalry.
How is he not poisonous but a Poison Pokemon? I figure he is simply very resistant to poison, and immune from being poisoned, but he can't generate/spread it himself.

I did have a battle where I just wanted him to poison the opponent, but I think it was against a Metapod (since Hoppip would die way too fast). However, I wanted to draw Hoppip and that Beauty more, so I used them. During that battle, I had exactly the thought process that Chan put to words. x)

Also, as you can see, I was really excited to catch a Miltank. XD I've never raised one before, but I knew they were beasts, so that pretty much made my day. Butter is pretty dang awesome. That Pokeball Yolk used to catch her with is one that Chan dropped while she was busy dancing badly, in case you're wondering where it came from.

Also, Nidoking are surprisingly small. I always thought they were like 6 feet tall but I actually looked and they're only 4 and a half. So Chan, at 5'4" (my height), is nearly a foot taller than Pepsi. Just in case you were wondering about that final pic where she's kneeling to hug him.

What a curious matter of circumstance. Just the odds of poison sting never poisoning a Pokemon at any point. Granted, I don't typically train Nidos. Mostly used them as Pokedex fodder, but Pepsi seems like a lot of fun and a really touching character.

Anyways, what I really love about your comic is that I was just thinking about when I'd ever see a Nuzlocke with a shiny starter. And here I find this. XD

Still, love the team so far. Hope it goes well for you.
