My birthday was on the 14th, in case anyone was wondering.
protag!Black has the same birthday because I say so. He’s 17 now! That’s the age of consent in New York.
They reach the next city in the next episode. Cheren and Alder will still be in the party.
Ah, I should come up with a new poll eventually…

got you again shame on you.
p.s. why are so many of the fans girls yet the boys take more and do more disgusting things(I used boy/girl cause over 90% if us are under 20 so am I).
p.s.s I talk alot
talk more
Stop talking. You’re just making everyone hate you more.
Is it even possible?
Yes.
Mind you, I’m in an emotionally fragile state at the moment what with bacteria and such infesting my nasal-cavities but…
Meaneys *dresses up as a pokemon* N Help Me wha the other pokemon and trainers say and do mean things to me.):
I have a feeling Apple came back, just with a more stupider name.
Apple has more sense than this…thing.
And Mr. N could probably tell you aren’t a Pokemon.
We aren’t this…you.
Azlef how bout I make ya some nice hot soup or something.~ Apperently I magiclly picked up cooking here.
Why, thank you!
Soup would be wonderful!
Eh…
It’s not going to be…cold…is it?
Ah, well!
Thank you, kindly!
Hopefully now all my Magikarp friends can stop worrying so much~
Did you call me a thing and who is apple?
Also if I made you mad here is some cake.
Shut yore mouth or leave ya….. person!
Don’t feed the trolls, guiz.
*examines cake* Hmmm… not sure if I trust it… Thundhurrus, you eat it! *shoves in in Thundhurrus’s mouth*
It shouldn’t be if it is i’ll jump off the nearest 3ft lake I see. Especially since its just been home made.
I caught N trying to hug someone dressed as Pedo-Bear.
I’m not to sure.
Happy belated birthday, Black! Both of you! :D *claps*
*claps sarcastically*
Hey lord… if you want to troll, gaia’s free and clear for trolls. -gets horn leech ready-
Can’nt you take a joke.
Not when trolls are making them.
*cocks shotgun*
Don’t make me Poke-snot all over you.
-Bristles-
Don’t make me.
Black’s new party:
MissingNo.
Joy
Carrie
Litwick1
Litwick2
Litwick3
And litwicks 4-8 just follow Black around because they feel like it.
We should make a Carrie cloning machine to create a Carrie for all that want one. I think I still remember the specifics of Mewtwo’s cloning machine
I want one GIMME.
…..please.
Well. I might just have to make a Carrie plush now.
Lol N is mad.
Happy birthday, Author Black!
Protag!Black being of age now is a good omen for things to come /yaoi fangirl
My heart is pleased at seeing more of Alder and Cheren /yaoi fangirl
*cough cough* Anyway! Yay, (probably) more Plasma plot in the next city! If they ever get there, I mean, that would necessitate N to stop ringing that bell, and the infatuated Litwicks to let Black go. :3
I bet Black’s soul tastes like cotton candy.
That…
Sound…
Tasty, actually.
Hm. Should we try this?
Wha! You have the same birthday as my brother! :D Happy birthday!
Age of consent?? You mean he will- with N? Oh dear… Hey, is black gonna catch that litwik? Come on, at least have one more pokemon!
sooo… first off, happy 9 hours and almost 34 minutes late birthday
second: black needs carrie… he NEEDS her… doooooooooo it T_T as a silver ranked duskull in the army of the dead, you would be in our full dept to carry the… crown jewel…
third: alder thinks cheren/sharon/shannon/cherry is a girl… i thought he/she was a lesbian when i first saw him/her/it
Happy Birthday! I’ve waited for this update so long >:D
Happy belated birthday to both, then! :)
Oh hey, happy birthday! :D
my birthday was on the 12 :0 youuuuuuu so close :I
Happy belated birthday.
Thank you for the update! Question, Was it really surprising how much everyone turned out to like Carrie?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I have reached a conclusion: in this comic, all episodes divisible by 1 are awesome.
Happy late birthday (^-^)
Noticing the prettier handwriting for Black’s ring.
Loved this episode, the horde of Litwicks, and Alder. What a boss.
OH GOD BLACK TAKE ALL THE LITWICKS WITH YOU ALL OF THEM.
…Especially Carrie. Loving the Gumball reference. :D
And happy belated birthday!
Love dem Litwicks uguu
”Black’s is prettier”
Longer too, i bet *wink*
Updating the day after your birthday, you have dedication and I love ya xD
On another note those litwicks are all Black-sexual just lime the majority of the male.cast
I think Carrie should go with black, she is wonderful, and would be able to get the group into funny situations later becuase of her personaility.
Happy belated birthday, author!Black~
Unf. Those Litwicks are so fucking adorable. I want to take them all home. I’m going to miss Carrie, too. ;~;
But, I really do look forward to more Alder and Alder x Cheren fanservice/gags.
Now we never know if Author!Black will have Black catch Carrie! ouo
And yes, the Alder x Cheren Fanservice, There shall be more >:U
You are right, we don’t know. But chances are we won’t, cause I don’t think author!Black counted on Carrie’s popularity. But I do hope that I’m very wrong on this one.
Happy belated birthday! To Artist!Black and Protag!Black~
Happy Day of Birth, both of ya. :)
Happy belated birthday!!!!!!!!! To both you and the character Black!!!!! >w<
Looks like he is good with the children XD
WHY CAN’T BLACK HOLD ALL THESE LITWICKS
WINNING HNNNNNGH
Ok let me wipe of my tears of laugher. *gets tissue*
All excelent comics I enjoy poor Cheren bad time like he deserves. XD
The Litwick is to much I love it if she appears again we going to have 1 joy and 1 crazy litwick when its mad.
I still do wonder why Black didn’t look so excited to get his badge. He forgot about it?
Keep up the good work author Black these are still awesome as always~ and once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!:D
Dose the Shiny Litwick follow him? I think it would be cool for him to get more pokemon, and the Litwick seem to like him… :P
Omigosh! Bandwagon! *Jumps on*
*Has to walk behind the bandwagon*
On a side note; LITWICKS ARE ADORABLE.
That is all.
Happy belated birthday Author!Black!
I hope you had a great time.
Hah, Black is becoming really popular with the Litwicks isn’t he?
Happy Birthday! My birthday is also on the 14th….but it’s the 14th of September. :) Feel a little bad for Shannon, but he had it coming for being an ass. If I ever get around to making a Carrie plush, I’ll be sure to send you a pic!
-Snuffles-
I hope the Litwick don’t drip all over Mr. Black’s clothes.
And are you saying all this happened on Mr. Black’s birthday?
I suppose seeing Ms. Sharon/Shannon/Cherry malfunction was present enough?
I can no longer ignore the supreme ADORABLENESS of those Litwicks.
Welcome to the crazy Litwick lovin fanservice Gira.
i really hope that litwick joins the party
Happy belated birthday!
Also dat Litwick pile.
Happy belated birthday Author!Black!
And I approve of Black’s new age. Mhm.
More hope for shiny!litwick and the team..! *hopes more*
If they’re going to the next city in the next chapter(which I assume means iccurus City), does that mean you’re not doing anything with Twist Mountain?
If that litwick doesn’t follow Black, I’ll probably drill a hole in the ground and just live in there for a while.
May I join you?
Only Author Black shall decide if you should live in holes or not!
No no let them live in their holes. Cause if Black doesn’t get at least one litwick, I’m going to go move to a volcanic region and live next door to Heatran. I’m hoping the shiny goes with the most.
Yes. But please, with dignity.
I liek dem Litwicks,ya!This episode was adorable to the max!
Wait…. how can a ringing sounde be prettier?? xD
I just love that Litwick~~ <3
Happy Birthday!!!!
So will shiny female Litwick be stalking Black from here on out?
How do you know the litwick’s ( litwicks’s) female?
The eyelash, and the fact that Artist!Black stated her name is Carrie.
…I don’t know who’s luckier…
…Black for gettin’ to cuddle with all of them Litwicks…
…or the Litwicks for gettin’ to cuddle with Black…
happy birthday author!Black!~
Mine was the 13th
^ ^
also, I thought I should inform you and everyone else:
due to this comic, I went back and changed my shiny litwick’s name to Carrie and she will forever remain a litwick
(unfortunately she is a he <____< )
Definitely making a Carrie plush now.
Free time at the lab?
Or destressing from being surrounded by Tweedleherp and Tweedlederp?
…
-Whispers-
Could you make me a KCalb plushie?
For…uhm…confidential reasons.
I can’t actually SEND my things, but I will make one.
And I have a lot of free time around the lab. How else could I get online?
Use a psychic type and have them surf the web for you as they read your mind in what to say?
Hahaha, no.
Huh, I suspected that keeping your brothers in check would be more…
Time consuming?
But, knowing Mr. Thundhurrus, I guess they would do whatever they wanted regardless.
I don’t bother with them unless they get in my space. Then I get my archery set.
Who’s Carrie?
The Shiny Litwick, mouse over the humanoid picture for the ALA orwhatever post.
I imagine the Litwick sounding like zombies in panel 2. I like Black’s expression there, too.
What, there’s not even a chapter in Twist Mountain where they encounter a rhyming witch and–oh, wait, wrong game. Never mind.
Oh balls. Happy one-day-late birthday! 8D
Thanks for updating. <3
Wait what… You have the same birthday as me, I just turned 17 on the 14th .-.
I SUPPLY THE GIFT OF THE SHINY VICTINI DOLL
i turned 17 on the 13th!~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YAY HOORAY
Also, Litwick Harem. So happy!
That shiny litwick NEEDS to join Black’s party!
X3 Haha, those Litwick are awesome! :P
Also….
Happy Birthday to Author/Artist! Black and Protag! Black. Hahaha! :P
Black’s face :3 <3
OMG Shinywick’s stealing Black away from N!
She NEEDS to be in Black’s team now.
PLEASE, AUTHOR!BLACK! LET HER BE ON BLACK’S TEAM!!!!!!!!
Happy belated birthday! 8DDD
Dem Litwicks are so cute. Srsly Black, go catch the shiny one while you have a chance.
Simply because of this… I’m going to go get a bunch of Litwicks!
Happy birthday to jyoooooooos!
Happy birthday Black author and Black
And after I started reading this comic I’ve had a erge to lick my laptop screne.
Happy belated birthday to both of you! ^-^ please keep on being awesome!~
So how old are you now Artist!Black?
Artist!Black are you from New York? It would be so cool if you were. :3
I’m way on the other side of the states :u
So you ARE from California…
That explains the Pacific Standard Clock.
Now, NOW, I know MOAR. I WIL- I mean great to know you’re a Californian like me!
Awesome end to an awesome chapter. :D
Awesome chapter and Happy Birthday. Although I’m one of the people hoping the Shiny Litwick joins Black’s party. I know you said Joy doesn’t get a lot of attention already, but I can see interactions with Carrie and him being quite funny. Here’s hoping and again, great job!
Wait….next town….that meansssss…. *eyes sparkle* Oh Pleassssse let it be true. Isssss it my turn??
Is it your turn to get your ass kicked by Brycen?
Yes. Yes it is.
Can it Thunderassssss. The old man isssss a pussssshover.
Perhaps. “You” are supposed to be inside a huge chasm near Lacunosa. That’s in the exact opposite direction of Opeculid. But then again, Landorus popped up attacking Driftveil even though he’s supposed to be dormant at the Abundant Shrine until Tornadus and Thundurus show up. It’s gonna be a hayday for Author!Black to explain that. Not that she has a chance of doing so, though….
Did you really think that I would stay there? It isssss a dump!
Aren’t there infinite amounts of Dittos to screw there?
As well as Clefairies and Jynxes to look at?
I’m for Kyurem, it is a dump. Dittos being the hookers of the pokemon world… so he’s slumming it at best. I want to see some other sawsbucks in the comic! Maybe we’ll be the ones who go nuts in the next town!
Black appears to be able to hold all those Litwicks~
I said happy birthday /after/ it was cool.
Black should get the shiny litwick
Preaching to the choir, dude.
Maybe if we could all contact Author!Black saying that all of us want Carrie in his party, she’ll comply with our demands.
Lol, doubt it. It’ll probably just piss her off. It’s her comic, she knows Carrie is really popular and we want her on his team; if she is able to do so and doesn’t mind doing it, she’ll add her in. At least I think.
EXTREMELY LATE BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO YOU, YOU WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PERSON.
NO U
Oh, the Litwick are so adorable! I want a shiny Litwick all the more, after this! They’re so flirtatious, too. xD
Does the shiny Litwick have a name, by any chance?
Her name is Carrie, I believe.
If you check the former post titled ‘Anime Los Angeles 2012’ and hover your mouse over the picture of humanized Shiny Litwick it will inform you of such!
Oh, thank you! I hadn’t realized. c:
Carrie
Also thank you. c:
If Black is legal, does that mean you can’t use the Chris Hansen censor anymore?
Happy late birthday…
Black: Why can’t I hold all these Litwicks??
Happy b-day Author!Black!!
I made you a cake with Litwicks as candles!
And guess what pops out of the cake…
Black in drag? Or Black in LACK of drag? ;D
(And happy belated birthday from myself, as well, Black!.)
Better…Black in SUPER drag!
Eight Litwicks, all sucking his life force at once?
It’s gonna be Black’s birthday again real soon if he doesn’t get rid of at least a few.
On the plus side, now his birthday candles can wish him a happy birthday too!
Hey, if Black gets older, he’ll get muscles! And N will TOTALLY confess he loves Black.
Happy Belated! Mine was on the 10th, and I turned 17 also. That makes Black and I both born in1995! But nobody on the internet is sure of your age, Artist!Black.
I read that as “Black and I were both fused in 1995” for some odd reason.
Happy Birthday, you!
Also, Shiny Lady Litwick should totally follow Black. Just to see more crossdressing in person.
Yup.
My laptop is fixed and so I’m back! I missed sooo much!
Happy Birthday!! I hope the litwick joins black. Cheren would be so jealous! =D
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY :D
Merry Belated Birthday, Black and Artist!Black.
This was such a cute episode omf. Cheren and Alder had me cracking up forever. Can’t wait for the next update!
A belated happy birthday to you, Black.
I hope your wish comes true, to some degree at least X3
all these here der (i think it is their name)litwiks(srry does not play lots of pokemon)
(cont.)like u black
Birthdays…. They make you feel… Old…
At least you get to have a celeabration to get over it.
Did anyone else notice that while Cheren is still BSOD-ing that he’s always in front of Alder’s arm?
…what is that man doing to him?
Also adding vote to “shiny Litwick in party yes plz”.
CANNOT UNSEE
Happy late birthday :3
Happy belated birthday, Author!Black! So… Now that prota!Black is 17, is Kcalb X Black still considered rape? I mean, they’re both the same person, and one of them is consenting to it…? @_@
EVERYONE CLICK THAT STOP CENSORSHIP BUTTON!!! Comics like these will be removed from the internet and their authors fined or jailed for copyright infringement if SOPA or PIPA passes! Let your representatives know that you don’t support either bill. Even if you don’t vote or care about politics, you should care about this. Just click then follow the prompts. It’ll only take you ten minutes.
Copyright laws regarding fan-made work are really unclear. We’re allowed to profit off fanart at anime conventions, and one would think that’s unlawful. Also, parodies are protected, and I could easily argue that that’s what BA is. Though, I’ll probably be moving the merch page, to be safe;;
My lady, the Teabaggers are passing that to obliterate the First Amendment. You CANNOT allow something to go off so passively.
This is a war between freedom and the Confederate States of America, and we canNOT lose this war.
I know, but I’m saying fan work has different issues unrelated to SOPA/PIPA.
And what makes you think that the Bush Administration will CARE?
This isn’t the Bush administration…
Anyway…
Right now, thanks to protests, SOPA and PIPA have been put on hold for an indefinite amount of time.
It’ll probably be a while until we’re given more information.
SANITY IS FOR STUPID PEOPLE!!!
Am I the only one that honestly is fine with Black not getting the shiny litwick?
I like how nobody ever celebrates their birthdays XD They just kind of mention them in passing.
Finally an anti-SOPA ribbon! :D
For the record, I didn’t just sign the petition, I looked up every f’ing congressperson from my state and emailed them ALL the same sincere, heartfelt message. I got about 100 automated replies. :/
STILL. DO YOUR PART.
age of consent huh? Happy birthday to N, if you catch my drift
Now Black will have a full team of Litwiks… and Joy? /pshyeahright But possibly he will be stalked by Litwick cheerleaders who like seeing him in drag?
Make Black catch Carrie or else you won’t get to celebrate your next birthday.
And that’s the story of how Black caught all his litwicks.
Happy B-day, Black!
and Yay! Age of consent!!! >:3
It’s what N has been waiting for this whole time….
Ahahaha~
Cheren’s brain is still broken in this strip.
Interesting enough, author!Black’s birthday was 2 days before mine, and I’m a year younger. :3
Also poor Charon. His mind is still trying to comprehend what Adler said to him. Serves you right skinny little… Guy?
Wait wait wait wait wait. Did anybody read shiny litwick’s voice in the voice of that yoga chick owning a fancy coffee shop with dreads from 2 Broke Girls? I know I did when Carrie said, ” black’s rings sounds prettier”.
OHARCEUS THAT IS EPIC.
Yeah. Now that litwick will never sound different to me. I feel like doing the “Caroline-way” of going yamaste to it.
Happy late birthday!
You and my brother (and Black) share the same birthday fsdjkhhfd
Cheren is still in shock. LOL
Now that Hilda and Hilbert ages were revealed to be 14, Black hanging out with a 21 years old guy just turned more awkward.
Oh PLEASE let the shiny Litwick join Black’s team! D: She could be all adorably fangirly and she and N can fight over Black. It would be beauteous.
FINALLY I CAUGHT UP TO YOU. I READ THIS FOR 6 HOURS STRAIGHT TRYING TO GET HERE. I love you :U
Please make more of this comic! I want to see Kcalb constantly go all out on someone and almost end up killing them till N shoots him XD
