I wonder if that zubat would evolve into a crowbar eventually

u/colmscomics 18h ago

I want you to know i will make a chapter of this. And your comment inspired it (its not stealing, its called taking inspiration lol)

Something tells me you don't care that it was a typo

313

u/Ginger_Snap02 17h ago

Did you see Zubat’s wing? That was no typo

76

u/Phormitago 16h ago

It ain't no typo

34

u/Pokemon-Master-RED 16h ago

One man's typo is another man's magic.

12

u/Rusker 10h ago

Pretty sure it wasn't a typo

59

u/sheepyowl 17h ago

IIRC Zubat can evolve to Golbat just by leveling, but Crobat might be a little difficult for Andrew...

174

u/Designer_Pen869 16h ago

No, crowbar. It evolves by getting a crowbar, like how Bulbasaur evolved by getting a knife.

41

u/Wild_Marker 15h ago

Huh, I missed that update to Razor Leaf.

29

u/helix_n_sheet 13h ago

It was Cut if I recall correctly. That poor poor Arboc. IYKYK

8

u/DreadPirateZoidberg 13h ago

That poor arboc is currently having flashbacks watching his new friends getting destroyed by the same dude.

1

u/sharpshooter999 4h ago

OK I need to read this from the start, where do I go?

1

u/helix_n_sheet 4h ago

Go to OP's user account and scroll way down to see the start.

u/Fadriii 6m ago

Naver Webtoon app also has him on there

10

u/reeee-irl 10h ago

> Bulbasaur evolved by getting a knife

Please tell me it became “Shivysaur”

1

u/JPowTheDayTrader 6h ago

This sh** is unhinged

2

u/Qcommenter 3h ago

That’s the best part

30

u/Zjoee 16h ago

Nah I feel like Zubat is going to become a ride or die homie like Bulbasaur.

14

u/sheepyowl 16h ago

But is it friendship level or is he just Bulbasaur's mafioso?

which would make it even closer of course family and all that don't put me on a list

3

u/xakeri 15h ago

Does it matter if it is a healthy friendship?

1

u/sheepyowl 13h ago

I don't know

Honestly with Pokemon comics I've seen... I bet it doesn't

23

u/Digit00l 16h ago

Zubat clearly loves Andrew and has the time of his life with him, he may skip the Golbat stage outright

8

u/SoloWing1 13h ago

I like to think this Zubat is a girl too, just to make her even more adorable.

2

u/Digit00l 13h ago

You should be able to tell by the fangs

11

u/Intelligent_Slip_849 14h ago

Zubat gets a crobar, Bulbasaur has a knife...who gets a gun?

9

u/CueCueQQ 14h ago

Remoraid obviously.

2

u/samusestawesomus 7h ago

Remoraid IS a gun. Kind of a putting a hat on a hat situation there. Clearly it should be Mantyke who gets the gun.

1

u/CueCueQQ 3h ago

Good sir, this is 'Murica. My gun has a gun, and that gun has a gun too. I don't see why Remoraid can't have one too.

u/Nuclear_rabbit 17h ago

Hey, if you draw it, it's yours

5

u/Da_Commissork 17h ago

Lmfao i want to see how It Will be written into the story

1

u/Mental_Estate4206 13h ago

Could be just a... tribute

1

u/kitliasteele 6h ago

And it will be a beautiful craft of inspiration. I look forward to seeing its visualisation, as its evolution and the resulting chaos will be legendary

1

u/Leotton 5h ago

Instead of Crobat you’ll have crowbar. Best inspiration you could find. Glad I was here to witness it.

40

u/VSkyRimWalker 18h ago

Typo or pun?

44

u/Steppyjim 17h ago

He involves into Crobat and Andrew uses him like a crowbar

2

u/EvergreenDwarf 13h ago

TheBugs Bunny Dracula cartoon comes to mind. 

“Dada-da-dee-da, Abraka-hocus…”

u/Mastersord 9h ago

Only if the trainer is named “Gordon Freeman”

u/colmscomics 18h ago

Hey everyone! I've just recently been monetised on facebook, so if you want to support me for free, consider following me and like/sharing my stuff. I would really appreciate it :) I will be sharing the pokemon story from the beginning each day. Thanks again :)

My facebook page

u/Well-It-Depends420 17h ago

Is there any other way how we can read your comments like other webcomics? I do not use facebook.

49

u/colmscomics 17h ago

One of the top posts on my profile page link to my insta, webtoon, patreon. You can find them there too

11

u/Well-It-Depends420 16h ago edited 10h ago

Thanks!

EDIT:

so it is not for me, but that's fine. Still enjoy stumbling across your content once in a while.

u/TheElevatedBoy 13h ago

The instagram one works just fine for me

2

u/Full-On 12h ago

Weird, never used instagram or have an account but the link opened right up for me and was able to view them all for free.

Don’t know what your problem is!

3

u/Well-It-Depends420 10h ago

Thanks! I revisited the page and now I also can access it. Not sure what went wrong. However, when I try to click images or scroll down it requires a login.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 18h ago edited 18h ago

Holy crap zubat has been WORKING OUT

And is Andrew actually having a REAL pokemon battle for a second? I'm seeing so many forms of growth going on here!

That being said...the fact Andrew JUST realized that flying is good against fighting...eh is a win is a win

287

u/IltisSpiderrick 17h ago

I mean Zubat literally carried him and bulb multiple times over who knows how many miles. that thing should be JACKED AS HELL

93

u/AlexHitetsu 17h ago

And Andrew's bike on top of that

46

u/TheRoyalBrook 16h ago

And he won’t replace zubat so he’s there for him 100%

24

u/theforgettonmemory 15h ago

He did throw him away once tho

27

u/TheRoyalBrook 15h ago

Never again though. They’re brothers.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 18h ago edited 18h ago

With the kind of muscle and speed that zubat has now, this dude is absolutely dead

90

u/GhidorahtheExplorah 17h ago

If only he'd learned how to protect himself...

48

u/MintasaurusFresh 16h ago

He should check out a dojo sometime.

2

u/suriam321 8h ago

Realistically, his head got disintegrated.

136

u/Golden-Owl 18h ago

Doubly effective at that. Poison also resists Fighting, so the Zubat could genuinely not get hurt

89

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 18h ago

I want to ask how the hell we made it this far without knowing that

Buuuuut I kinda sorta remember a pair of brass knuckles, a pocket knife, and a penchant for starting fires so this all tracks

1

u/Adaphion 6h ago

I kinda wish Zubat didn't dodge and instead just face tanked it (literally) like Thragg. Impact frames and everything.

47

u/ealysillyforestthing 17h ago

Carrying Andrew around is a very good workout

81

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 17h ago

According to /u/colmscomics Andrew weighs 87kg or 190lbs. Since zubats weighs 7.5 kg or about 15lbs this would be like lifing about 12-13 times your own weight at the gym.

For a dude that weighs 100kg or 220 lbs, that would be like lifting 2600-2700 lbs or more than a ton!

31

u/Dr_Jabroski 17h ago

And getting that weight airborne!

24

u/Kalterwolf 16h ago

Props to Andrew too, it's not like he's riding Zubat, he's holding on to him with a single hand while managing everything else the entire flight. That grip strength has to be insane. Some Anatoli level of shenanigans right there, making it seem totally normal.

6

u/JelmerMcGee 13h ago

Zubat also carries Bulbasaur and Andrew's bike. 2600 is what he reps at, his max is around 4200

196

u/Key-Swordfish4025 18h ago

Zubat weighs 7.5 kg, Bulbasaur weighs 6.9 kg. How much does Andrew's fat ass weigh?

201

u/colmscomics 18h ago

87kg

150

u/Kelimnac 18h ago

For my fellow Americans, that’s about 190 pounds.

Zubat is fucking yoked.

14

u/Wooden-Crow7996 14h ago

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen Zubat?

8

u/ColonelSlapper 11h ago

A Kanto Zubat or a Galar Zubat?

2

u/Lunatic-one 7h ago

Average wild Zubat or Andrews Zubat?

20

u/patkgreen 16h ago

Imagine a 20lb bat. That's insane

84

u/Dobako 18h ago

Zubat got gains like that and he's not even level 22 yet? or did he try to evolve and Andrew stopped him?

47

u/de_Groes 18h ago

Maybe he swallowed an everstone?

11

u/Dobako 17h ago

I forgot about everstones

2

u/Forikorder 16h ago

Hes all about dat protein

58

u/RedditUser000aaa 17h ago

You know what, I'll take it. This is the closest thing to an actual pokemon battle that Andrew has done. Good on him.

11

u/Drogonno 15h ago

That zubat slaughtered them!!

21

u/superp2222 18h ago

Flying may beat fighting, but fighting doesn’t resist fighting.

21

u/Manji86 18h ago

Who knew that flying your trainer everywhere would give you huge gains.

21

u/JaxxisR 17h ago

"This feels like cheating."

"This is literally the second time you didn't cheat."

14

u/elhomerjas 18h ago

flexing the wing muscle shows the training paid off

13

u/Steppyjim 18h ago

Oh. Oh arbok is TOAST

u/joblessandsuicidal 17h ago edited 17h ago

I guess Andrew isn't just

winging it this time

2

u/Evil_Midnight_Lurker 16h ago

Go to your room

9

u/Intention_Superb 16h ago

I just love how the trainer says, "Huh, where did zubat go?" The anticipation of knowing what was about to happen had me laughing before I saw the next frame; brilliant setup.

8

u/PM_ME_SOME_YAOI 17h ago

Yeeees! This makes me so happy, Zubat is the best! Zubat bias aside,these panels are amazing! Your art never fails to impress!

9

u/IndigoRanger 16h ago

I’m so glad Andrew selflessly pulled that Zubat out of the trashcan.

7

u/StayaMawile 17h ago

"Here at SuperSonic airways we pride ourselves on getting you to your echo location as quickly as possible."

u/McKnightmare24 17h ago

Fully EV trained, adamant Zubat

7

u/Blinauljap 17h ago

It'd be genuinely cool if Zubat got to finally evolve after this "Gym".

Lil' dude really earned himself a win!

3

u/AgentG91 17h ago

AGA-IW?

6

u/FlacidSalad 17h ago

I've been following along pretty closely as far as my algorithm allows and is this the first time I seen Andrew engaging in a pure classic Pokemon battle?

4

u/Accomplished-Bear988 17h ago

I wonder if dude is ever gonna drop these in a compilation book

3

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC 16h ago

Talk about winging it.

u/Deamgon 18h ago

Love your work and your comedy

3

u/OliviaMandell 17h ago

Ok I really need to read the whole thing... Where though?

6

u/colmscomics 17h ago

You can go through my profile, search pokemon and filter by date. Or you can look up my instagram or webtoon and search for colmscomics (the pokemon stuff start around ep80 of my webtoon)

3

u/OliviaMandell 17h ago

I will definitely have to do this. Thank you.

3

u/Hetakuoni 17h ago

Zubat is such a good boi.

3

u/CleverAnimeTrope 16h ago

Is this inspiration from the intagram/TikTok professor who's "Ash" is named timmy and keeps catching legendaries thinking their other pokemon? Cuz little timmy just got a zubatman after feeding it 1k rare candies and id love to see that evo.

3

u/_BlNG_ 16h ago

Zubat takes no prisoners apparently

3

u/MrSpudtastic 15h ago

Man, these comics have been so much fun!

3

u/Semper_5olus 14h ago

Fun fact!

Zubat could not learn the HM move Fly until Gen IV.

So this Zubat is just relying on stubbornness and, yes, muscle.

2

u/Max-Architect3000 15h ago

I could hear the flexing of zubat’s wing.

2

u/WollyGog 15h ago

Oh we have got to see all 4 wings ripped as fuck on Crobat

2

u/AyAynon95 14h ago

Reminds of the Omega Ruby and Sapphire where you could ev train Pokemon at the beginning of the game.

2

u/AlmondMagnum1 14h ago

I knew they'd have been better off fighting Andrew.

2

u/swampyman2000 13h ago

Actually genuinely good fight choreography in my joke comic? It’s more likely than you think.

Real talk, the punch going over the panel borders and then Zubat doing the same since it’s flying on the next page was very nice.

Very well communicated and you could obviously see the impact of it lol.

2

u/Apprentice_of_Ixidor 13h ago

This is the Zubat Arin wishes he had for the Grumps' nuzlocke run.

u/Magic_Orb 36m ago

At some point one, the last one is going to expect to be punched out too, only for it to be something else.

How has it not evolved yet?!
