1. All Neoseeker and forum rules apply. This rule is self-explainatory. 2. You will not advertise anything in my thread. I don't want you to post any links to your own comic or fanfiction or whatever here, nor do I want your comics posted here unless I give you specific permission to do so. 3. You will not pester me to make comics in my thread. If I haven't released anything in a while, I don't want you to bump my thread and demand a new issue, no matter how nicely you ask. You CAN, however, try shooting me a PM if you think it's been too long; say, two weeks. 4. Please do not suggest plot ideas. I don't care how uber-massive-flipping-awesome an idea you may have is; I already have the entire season's plot figured out and I'm not deviating from my plans. However, if you have a minor idea that does little to affect the plot, you may send that to me in PM and I'll consider it. 5. Do NOT badger me for a cameo or crossover. For the most part, I have my plot figured out, and my characters set. So, if you ask me to give you a cameo or a crossover, I might have to reject. You can still ask, and if I can find a spot for you I might say yes, but don't get upset if I give you a response you don't like. Again, keep things like this to PM. 6. Do NOT get overly nit-picky about any errors I make. Yes, I do enjoy having someone point out a mistake every so often, but if you absolutely must pick out every last error, you really have no excuse. I'm going to hit you on the head. Chances are I'm not going back to fix it anyway, depending on how major it is. If it's enough to get the point across without being too distracting, I'll likely leave it be regardless of anyone pointing it out. 7. If you know what's happening next, DON'T SPOIL IT. Some of you might get hints from me when we chat. So, it isn't unlikely that some of you have an obvious hunch as to what's going to happen next some of the time. Well, please aknowledge that there are in fact some readers that are completely new to the series, and that they might want to have it kept a surprise. Besides, for all you know, I could have changed it for my own reasons and you could be very wrong. If you must speak of future events outside of speculating, please use spoilers and label them appropriately. 8. Do NOT god-mod about spam in the thread. It is a fairly common rule throughout the internet as a whole that spamming is frowned upon, and hopefully you all know that by now; well enough to even tell what is and what is not spam and gripe after people for it. However, keep in mind that this thread in particular is, more or less, just the 'comments box', if you will. That means that the only things 'on topic' that can be posted here are simple phrases that give comments to the latest release. Notice how such a policy voids all chance for discussion and severely limits what can be said here. Therefore, the rule on what is and what is not spam is to be determined by myself and myself alone, save for the forum moderators and other users with site authority that directly affects this forum. I want a lively thread to whatever extent that may be, so post what you want as long as it's marginally pertaining to the comic and don't tell anyone off for being 'off topic'. 9. You MUST have fun here. No exceptions. If you aren't having fun or aren't at least astronomically entertained by this comic or anything in this thread, you'll be asked to leave. If you aren't going to be a happy part of the comic's audience or a happy part of the smalltalk in the thread (abiding to rule 9, of course) you are only wasting both your time and everyone else's time by coming here. Seriously. No one is forcing you to read the comic or the respective comments, and if someone is, clobber them, preferably with something heavy and blunt. This comic and thread is here to provide entertainment to those who find it entertaining. If that's not you, then get out and go do something you enjoy. Please, I insist.
Well a man came on the Pokefiction news, Said somebody’s is gone, somebody’s being used. Somebody’s sucking up CE with this thing called "Cellnar", And he almost got a way, but he didn’t get to far, yeah. He didn’t get too far.
W'J was told by Shiny “Back in my day, dude, A comic must be funny, but it must have a plot, too! Take all the sprites on interwebz and make a new forum thread, Then MS Paint up a storm, and go knock ‘em dead! Knock all of them dead!
"...And justice is the one thing you should always find; You gotta capture up your 'mons, you gotta sprite a hard line! And when Dark Arceus crumbles we'll sing our vict'ry all day, And we'll all meet back at the ServBot Café!”
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil horses singin’: Pepsi for my fans, Coke for my forces!
We got too many DA grunts doing bidding of their boss, We’ve got too much corruption, too many things have been lost! It’s time the pencil of the author put a few more in the ground, Send them all to W'J, and he’ll settle ‘em down. You bet he’ll settle ‘em down.
...‘Cause justice is the one thing you should always find; You gotta capture up your 'mons, you gotta sprite a hard line! And when Dark Arceus crumbles we'll sing our vict'ry all day, And we'll all meet back at the ServBot Café!”
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil horses singin’: Pepsi for my fans, Coke for my forces! Pepsi for my fans, Coke for my forces!

Leaving from home, journeying into a new bright day. Have no plan what I’ll find, but I’m gonna explore anyway!

Come with me, Things to feel Things to see Spots to be Your mind will shatter At the sounds, And the smells And the sights And the feelings you encounter on adventure!

Five issues at once!? For all I know, I'll wake up tomorrow and you'll have broken my record.
I heaven't read them yet but I'm sure they're good. Will comment once they're read.
Ha, if only I could go that fast. No, I was just pretty inspired today, and had a good amount of free time. It would take me longer if I did shadows and all like Fawful.
OK, time for a challenge. I named Bumbelwy after a character in a book, and even based his personality on said character. Whoever can send me a PM with the title of the book and a very short summary about the character first will be PM'd the next release of issues.

I believe I stated myself quite clearly on this. But since Zoroark failed to read the instructions and blurted out the answer, It would seem that it has all been spoiled.
I also never said that you couldn't use Google or any other search engine.
You'll be happy to know that nothing that happens from here on out is pointless. Yes, the battle was easily won, but it holds significant plot importance. =P
This marks you as one of the large percentage of people that over use and incorrectly use commas. As my college professor said, "If you don't know the rule, don't use the punctuation".

I'll remember to make sure I don't mis-spell Huntail again. :L
For the commas you were using it to address somebody.
Not all adresses to persons require commas. Sir is not someone's actual name, even if it is used to represent someone. And even when you say someone's name, that doesn't mean their name has to be surrounded with commas either. Like I said, if you don't know the rule.
There should be commas around Candice, because you're using it as a title with "the" makes it sound weird and gramaticaly incorrect. The commas go there because you could take the word "Candice" out of the sentence. Same goes for Mike.
That's part of it, yes. But you only say that because we already know it's Candice. Just as a sentence, it makes a big differences as to which Gym Leader it is. And the same goes for Mike. It matters that "The Gym Leader" is Candice, and that "The Challenger" is Mike. Meaning that removing their names changes the meaning of the sentence.

Not really, you could use "the gym leader" and "the challenger" as pronouns, in this case, you're using it as a title.
Whether they're pronouns or titles is not the point. Their names are Restrictive elements, meaning they are important to the structure of the sentence. You only put nonrestrictive elements in between commas.
If you still think I don't know what I'm talking about, I suggest you purchase a copy of The Bedford Handbook Vol. 8, and take a college English Course.
I thought you guys deserved something special to end the year, so I bring you...

Oh, no, I'm not giving up on this. My life has been fairly hectic for a while, and still is. I actually started on an issue several weeks ago, but never finished it. If time(and inspiration, for a large part) allows, I'll try to pop a couple out this weekend.
^^ Agreed with pretty much everything people said... Anyway, I wonder why none of the gym leaders are in their respective towns... Is there a global holiday for the gym competitions??
It's not uncommon for a Gym Leader to visit another town or place in their region. It happens a lot in HeartGold and SoulSilver. And Jasmine is seen in Sinnoh in the games as well. Juan was a special case, though. Lol.

I can't remember if Jasmine told us why she visited Sinnoh or not..
She went to compete for contests. I remember saying that earlier in the thread and then had to listen to Fawful rage. -.-
She says it, and if you eventually make it up to the Master Level of Super Contests, you have a chance of her being one of your competitors.
I'm assuming the honey has some significance in the plot, since you wouldn't do a whole issue with Mike talking with the honey salesman otherwise.
Good issue, although there's a typo in panel six.
I permabanned you; how are you posting? Redemption- Shiny has hacked the forum.
Because you can't ban anyone. Also, IIRC, April Fool's day jokes are supposed to stop by noon in each time zone. And I am more than positive it's past noon where you are.
I wasn't lying. It seems the stopping at midday thing is a part of the April Fools tradition that only some people recognise.
April Fools Day is just about ending in my time zone anyway. Until next year, Vast.
I knew you weren't lying, haha. I looked it up last year after you told me. I just felt like putting you on the spot. P:
Also, it's only fair that I tell you that the HoneySalesman himself does not play any more important roles. I think that giving Mike his next lead on where to look for his father was a pretty important thing, though. The honey, on the other hand...
Also, Midnightwolf, and alahna777, I realized you weren't on the list even though you've come to read before and all. Do you want me to add you two? o:
EDIT: Just wanted to point on an inconsistency before anyone else could. The change in Alahna's name color changed becuase I made Issue 218 back when I made 217, but didn't feel like it was a good time to post it with no battle.
Also, yes, I did take the whole idea of the Pokemon Boxes from DDD2 cause I thought it would be cool to try out since this is kind of an Official Tournament of sorts. I will not, I repeat WILL NOT be doing that again. Even if it causes in consistencies for the rest of the tournament, it pretty much doubled the time I spent working on that single issue, and they don't look nearly as pretty as DDD2's, and I don't want to copy his exactly even if I did continue to use them for battles.
I think you'll ALL be happy for this double post. :L
I'm not... even if they are good issues with some funny Blarg/Vast banter.
If I can make a request, please don't break my record until I've finished my exams so we can make that bet.
I already agreed that I wouldn't break the record until you finished your exams. :3 That doesn't mean I can't work on my comic within reason. Like finishing this story arc.

Just remember that to surpass Shiny, your issue count has to exceed his by FOUR, because issues 148, 149 and 150 were authored by me and thus add nothing to your total.
After a full day of working, I am now only 9 issues behind.
In total comics, sure. He's running another comic(2 others, really, if you count RMY), and we've both competed in the Comic Olympics plus participation in the Community Comic. However, you only count the main issues of your comic in your issue count for Total Comics for ComicZ(Examples are RMX, AoDA, RS, PtJ, Blarg, etc.).
What the hell was that lagging tail for?? Meh, who cares?? Hmmm, so we get new characters seemingly evil working in the back lines... Can't wait to see what are they up to!! Also, at this rate you'll catch Shiny by the end of the week!!
Apparently Mike was trying to strategize by using the Lagging Tail to maximize the power of Heavy Slam, even though it would, in a normal scenario, do absolutely nothing to help and only do all to hinder... but for the sake of the comic, we'll just say it helped.
Lagging Tail increases weight, though. I did my research, Adam. Heavy Slam does more damage depending upon how much heavier the user is compared to the target.
I was expecting the revelation of who Mike's father is to be a little more mystical, but this is interesting enough. It looks like you're really getting into the meat of the story now. Keep it up.
That would have been one way to do it, but I still have plenty more planned for you all. :3
Exactly. Rushing your issues has clearly reduced your quality.
I'm starting to regret making this bet now. I wasn't expeccting you to go all in this early.
Cause, you know, YOU never ever have a few errors. And it can ONLY be because I made multiple issues.
And if you want to call off the bet because of this, then that's fine. You really didn't expect me to go all in early, but that's how I like to do things.
Also, the 6-issue release isn't just for the bet, I had planned on doing a big release number soon, and the bet just so happened to coincide perfectly to allow that.
WOWOW 7 issues in one day? That's a record, iirc!! And they were also pretty good!! Well except the Steelix battle... Jasmine doesn't feel like using strategy or what? Beh... nevermind, some things must be sacrificed in favor of the war of the gods, and it wasn't that bad either. Keep up the good work!!
9 issues, actually.
And if you'd remembered to read the issue, Jasmine threw that battle against Mike to show him that he was being cocky. Though I did a horrible presentation job by copying every panel.

I actually read the issue twice, but I still didn't get the point, or how she was trying to show it. Guess I'm feeling a bit thick today... Could you please explain it with easy words?
Mike chose a bad match-up against Byron, and just kept trying to plow through cause he figured he was stronger. He WAS, but the disadvantage of not having any Super Effective moves against a Pokemon that DID was a very un-smart move. So Jasmine basically repeated the strategy with her Steelix against Mike's Lucario, even though Steelix can learn Earthquake and hers does.
Even simpler than that: Mike was being WAY overconfident, so Jasmine just tried to show him that.
RMX. Xavier. Of course, you just had to go there. Even if it was coincidence.
Xavier WAS a coincidence. Completely forgot about him cause, you know, he never sees much of any action anymore. But RMX was COMPLETELY on purpose. Just a little shout-out to Shiny and his comic Rescue Mission X. :3
Tell me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Shiny will need to make 10 issues to get ahead of me at this point. :L There will be more later, but I'll let you guys drink this in before posting any of them.
I may have to forfeit the bet. With school and stuff, I really don't have time to keep up with all these issue. This isn't an official forfeit though. I'll forget about reason and try to catch up anyway. Fighting spirit, right?
Fighting Spirit!
And if you DO want to discuss terms of surrender, just in case, let's talk in the PM.
Team Hydro Aura, for I second there, I thought you meant my RMX.
w111j, you didn't state which post you broke my last record with. Before I think about surrender terms, I'd like to know exactly how long I'd have to make that huge load of issues. Can you remember?
Also, THA speaking of Bumbelwy... How come no one was upset when he got dismantled? D:< AGOOSH, I thought people liked him.
Ahhhh spoilers. It's my fault for reading the posts in the thread before reading the issues.
...You haven't even been reading AoDA since we started the bet? o-o Cause like, he got dismantled back when Mike was unconscious after being pushed into the ocean.
You started the bet with a huge splurge and since then I've been busy trying not to lose. Beside, it'll be nice to be able to sit down one day and read all those issues at once. The only part I read was the part where you revealed Riddle Master Xavier's name because Fawful pointed out the resemblance.
...:L OK then, lol. Then I'll have to go back and put all these in the Smackjeevs archive after I win so that you can more easily read them all.
Yeah guys, bet's over. Sorry, I guess me and Shiny were kind of just steamrolling WAY too fast for our own good. But in case you couldn't tell, I'll be updating a new issue every day for an undetermined about of time.
Also, Shiny, there's my part of the compromise. I made an issue talking about how awesome you are.
Is he inside Darkonis now, or in a Pokéball or something?
Darkonis' "Capture" seals the target into a prison of energy, and then Darkonis sends them to the Angel's Courts. The prison stays active until Darkonis or the Angel Elders deactivate it.
I bet Mike's battle will be even more unpredictable. o:
I would think that I'd left you guys enough hints by now to figure out the big twist at for Mike's battle, but there will be a lot of you who will be surprised.
But thanks for not saying in the thread if you had already, cause that's against the rules P:
For some reason I found the "Hmm... Oh well" line funny. Not sure why.
Lucario probably got one-hit KOed. It would be a bit strange for you to end this issue there if it didn't.
You know, they have this great new concept in storytelling called cliffhangers. It's where they leave on hanging on some fairly crucial event, but not telling you how it ends right then, and the only real reason is to build suspense and mess with you. :3
For any of you that were surprised(AKA, Shiny) Don't forget that Lucario WAS his starter, and would obviously be one of his strongest Pokemon, and not likely to be OHKO'd.
And that is all she wrote. I have personally had a very great and wonderful time doing this. I've had fans come in, leave, magically disappear, and make amazing spin-off redos of my fallings in the original first season's beginning. But to one and all, I'd just like to say thank you. Without the fans, there wouldn't really be any reason to have continued making this.
Now, I'm going to tell you that I'm not going to just up and stop comic making. As pretty much all of you have seen, I've been doing a crossover with DDD2 and Blarg, and I'll probably do many more. I also have another comic planned, but I'm not going to tell you when it's coming, or anything about it except for one hint. I'm not abandoning Amplus. Also, I will probably try to release some little funny one-shot or three-panels issues just for the heck of it.
If there is anyone who has NOT read Advent of Dark Arceus from the beginning and would like to, I suggest you do so, and the easiest way is to probably do it from aoda.smackjeeves.com, as the entire archive of issues is there, including these last three though they're not scheduled for public viewing until around 11PM tonight EST.
So I hope you all have a good day, and have enjoyed this.
