Such a sad story :(

Yeah.
However, the main character of the sad story sometimes keep living in our heart.
It is what I want to draw!^^

That's how I believe stories should work, touching the hearts of many

Hehe... yeah. > w <

Oh! You read when I uploaded!
He is in your heart now!!

Thank you very much. I am glad that you like it.^^

Great comic! But sad too.

Thank you.
Yeah, it is sad...

:c it looks so sad ;-;

Yeah.
Real world is often sad for such a kind people.

Not when the kind people are strong enough to overcome it ^^

Yes.
However, kind people are often too soft for their enemy too.

Who would kill pokemans anyways? :o

The REAL Team Rocket would. The show made them out to be bumbling idiots. But Giovanni wouldn't employ dumbasses to do his dirty work. He's too smart. No, the real Team Rocket would not only steal but kill pokemon they couldn't steal. They just toned it down for the games and show. That's what I honestly think.

This.

Same here, and they wouldn't let some snotnosed kids mess with their plans time and again. Realistically if Ash was such a problem, an organization like that would have just taken him out for good long ago. They would probably be a lot more like the mafia with how they conduct business.

You have obviously never seen the 'Unrated' Pokemon movies. Team rocket actually does kill pokemn and humans, esspecially Jessie and james *shudders* they almost killed pikachu when he took a bullet for ash. Very sad to say the least.

Wait wait, movies like that EXIST?! I must find...

You will be looking for a VERY LONG time, because they are part of a special membership thing which takes years to gain the ranking required to see the videos. Actualy, I've forgotten what the sight is called now.................

I know someone who could get in it...if I knew the site, I'm sure they could find a way.

lol, You would not beleive the amount of security they put on this site. They do NOT want this to get out into the 'public eye'. They have got anti-video recording software so you cant record what shows on the screen, special lighting so that if you record it with, say an Ipod, That it comes up as a white blur. They have Anti hacking viruses and everything. They are SO strict that you have to give them information that they can Reference you too, Like a drivers licence or a birth certificate. Im amazed that they even let them out! That and the viruses they have can not be stopped by anti virus software, I learnt that the hard way I had 3 different fully upgraded Anti virus systems in place and it completely Bypassed them. So I am telling you now, Youre freind will not be able to get into the site.

One question, In the original pokemon series was Giovanni ashes father?

No clue. Heard the rumor though.

Well the rumours probably came from this then. Im not gona say the things he says about her in general but if you want to know Ill note you.

Some people do it by many reasons.
Perhaps some erratically do it...

Only people who hate good things would do such a thing ;-;

That is seriously one of the best comics I've ever read. Simple, clean, and very touching...

Thank you very much. > w <
I want to keep drawing such comics!

Tells a story, short and sweet, yet sad and impacting. Very nice comic.

Making the story short was difficult for me.
Thank you.^^

With those minimal points that I said, it is rather difficult to keep it that way, you did very well, and welcs~

Not bad at all! I do like this last page, lots told in just a short story

Oh, it is what I wanted to do.
Thank you.^^
I think I succeeded at that point.

A sad and touching story. =P

Great work. =)

Thanks a lot!!

Great first comic series. I liked it on wild critters and now have a better understanding of the translation pattern. The under score of animal testing blended with a more realistic interpretation of the pokemon universe. It is depressing but, I write fan fiction that is physiology depressing. Laska is accepting of death, but once to die in a better way than scheduled. That makes the ending more uplifting to die on your own terms.

Thank you.
My friend Vulpix made the better English texts.
Actually my pokemon worlds(I have some difficult imaginations) are close to real world. I have some things I want to show and can show only in realistic pokemon world.

I thought if I were Laska. Thanks.

Same here, I have a very vivid imagination and when I sleep and dream, I dream of a world of pokemon/Normal humans. Result some of my very sad stories which I have as of yet to get onto paper and publish

Everywhere in the world, perhaps.
In Japan, it is too but not so obvious. So, most of the people can't see it and it is bigger problem because people can't see.

I want to read them someday and I will show my whole stories of Laska world someday too.

(*Slow Nods*) Well done.....

(*sadly Smiles*)

i have...oh..my...crying...

Laska made you cry. ^^

All I have to say to this, is i'm glad she didn't get killed by the people who were gonna kill her tommrow

Yeah.
The death by his best friend is all I can give him.

please tell me you'll make a Sequal

Seconded.

I am thinking to draw at least about other 2 espeons now.

I am thinking to draw at least about other 2 espeons now.

That was great. And sad. Really sad ;w;

Thank you.^^
I wish Laska leave something inside of you.

So beautiful and sad.

Thank you.
Fragile things are often beautiful.^^

I cried, not gonna lie. Good stuff, though, good stuff.

Thank you very much. > w <
I thought this was too short to make someone be moved but I guess you have a good imaginative power.

Yup Japanese/Asian drama, everyone dies at the end.

Ahaha^^, indeed.
People try to draw/show the many meanings of the death.

beautifully done and a touching little story. Very well done~

Thank you very much.

Such a wonderful and sad comic. You really stirred up a lot of emotion in me while I was reading it. Wonderful job with it.

Thanks!
Laska did it and I hope you can keep your kindness a little more when you are sad or hard.^^

I love emotional storys like this. A bit sad at the end though, still I loved it.

Thank you!
I like this style of story too so I will keep them.^^

So .... I found it very beautiful but also very sad.
Only your drawing style and much more, has reached it, I ended up with tears in his eyes.

I would like to know how you are doing now and if he follow Ages Laska may someday.

A sequel would be really interesting.
Keep up the Shippo. Good work. :)

Hehe...^^ I think Laska touch your heart! Yay!!

Ages follow Laska or not?
I will show you someday.

I'm trying!^^
Thank you~

So tocuching. .and amazing... wish i could put only a 1/10 as much emotion in my works...

Thank you very much.
Your words motivates me a lot!

so much intense emotion in this comic. i swear i felt so bad for both ;n;
really strong comic right here. emotional, black and white, and full of interesting drama. good work :D

I like to draw such emotions.
I think most of lives live in a lot of sadness.

Thank you.

Ok! You take a lot of tear from me!!!! >[]<.........

*After Read again*

Sleep well Laska....Hope you have a good lift in next world... _ _

Laska is amazing, isn't he...

So kind...

Laska is male!?!....Oh...I can't guess about it =w="

I think laska is female _ _"

I thought so too ^_^ But... Laska is male. Acelys is female ^_^

It happens often with Shippo's drawings >w< For example, Diana ( advancea character from Shippo's drawings ) is also a male, even though "Diana" sounds female ^_^

Ok...Laska is male...I understan it in now...[Every Espeon look like female so I guess it gender wrong everytim]

Acelys is female.....You mean Ages right? OwO

Oh...I see....Diana is name look like female like your said...and I shock when know it male =w=

Um.....Shippo's drawing is so great with comic...but I hope someday she will draws some happy ending comic too....I just hope ^^"

Thank a person who translation this great comic for us!! >w<

I sent you a note >w< hee-hee~

Thank you for praying for Laska.

^^
I did my best and it touch your heart.

That was quite wonderful.. and very, very sad.

Such a kind and sweet Espeon.
Such a sad story.

Thank you for sharing this story with us.

Yeah, it is always sad when the kind one hurt.
You are welcome and thank you for your reading.

Listened to this the whole time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jbzt-2CnPE&feature=channel_video_title
...Made me sadder. :(

Oh... that isbeautiful music!

Hehe... my comic was with music in your case.
It worked well. XD

*sigh*

*sights with a little smile*

Really well done, both the plot and the drawing and pacing. Almost unbearably sad but a really good story.

Oh, you are the first one who think about pacing on my comic.^^
Thank you!!

Good story but a bit too sad for my taste, I didn't like part where he got betrayed. Luckily you left the ending open so I can at least imagine that the Mightyena just cut off Laska's collar(there's blood because he was a bit rough) so Laska could escape without a risk of getting caught again. So there's a happy ending after all.

Hehe... I'm sorry but that is the thing I saw.

Yeah, you found that!^^
Actually, I drew the page with the purpose of that.

I was thinking that, but then I though that it might have been removed while they were fighting and laska actually killed the Mightyena through some luck, later she managed to escape.

Look at the message I posted below if you want to know what might of happened to Laska, Dont if you dont want a sad ending.

It has been a long while since I've logged on but I'm glad I saw this comic.

Thank you.^^

This is a wonderful story, and I truly loved every page of it.
It shows how cruel and ruthless the real world can sometimes be... The kind gets trampled over, used, and only the wicked survives. Laska will definitely remain on my heart as a sign of hope and rightfulness. It doesn't matter how rotten this world is, I'd rather live the way I am before turning into a horrible person as well.

Thank you for making this!

Thank you!^^ I am so glad that you like this.
I agree with you. However, normaly we are weaker than the characters who live well in the comic, anime or movie.
So drawing comics like this is my way to keep myself strong.^^

N.P.

Oh wow what a heart gripping comic and with only 18 pages, I take my hat off to you sir and such an amazing story, I won't be forgetting the lesson here for a while.

Thank you very much for your saying like that!

However, please sacrifice your self too much.^^

so sad

> < ;
I believe such people can change the world a little.

a very sad but also beautiful story if there is one!

Thank you.^^

OMG!! I just though of something really bad!!!! HE DIDNT KILL HER!!!! THE HUMANS GOT HER!!!!!

If you look at the collar, It has a perfectly straight cut, Meaning it had to of been done with a knife or something like that, MEANING THE HUMANS GOT HER!!!!!

Oh... you found the worst ending. >w<;
Actually, it cut straight but that is by Ages and not by humans.^^

Thank you for sharing it with us.

I do not like to see Laska pass on, but it could not be helped apparently.

Sad, sad Leafy

I'm glad that you like this.

^^

In any case, Laska will make some change to the pokemons who know him.

will there be more?

I'm planning but I don't sure to be able to finish.

well I was confused about who won the fight? I mean I see the espons collar is broke and what not.....but that could have happened in the battle like it could of gotten broken off. and the mightyena was well relatively weak when he asked her to kill him. and if shes been put in training then she can undoubtedly put up a good fight......so Im confused about who won?

Well... actualyly the expression of the scene before the fighting is little difficult to understand, I think.

At least Laska have no will to win so the reason why he said "seriously".
Without this, Ages can't stop thinking he is fighting against the espeon who didn't fight.

so I see so it was ages who won? hmmm.......*hugs* I feel bad for the espeon she did all that work to get them all out and they leave her high and dry.

This is truth you tell... In our hearts we know the blackness of the world. No matter how praised and rare kindness may be, the kind will be punished for their kindness. The world is black, and it is these glimmers, these small blips on the face of the earth that keep the darkness from becoming tangible... The select few of the kind will hold the darkness at bay, only if for a moment, just a moment longer...

Death is both a cruelty and a kindness, to all life. The way you die determines how you feel about dying, and one way of dying is often better than another. An honorable death in battle is likely the greatest kindness Laska can get in his current situation. An Umbreon would not have been so lucky.

Though I don't cry easily on the outside, my tears flow freely inside of me. Your comic truly touched that part of me deep down which few can reach so easily.

Beautiful and sad. I'm glad you made this, it must have been a lot of work.

I want to hate it because Espeon is probably my favorite Pokémon, and I just want to come into help them. Laska most of all. He reminds me of me, honestly, though my kindness thankfully hasn’t been betrayed yet. In fact, the people I’ve been able to surround myself with tend to return my kindness. That’s really all I want for Laska— someone who can love him and return his kindness. In the end, he never gets it.

At the same time, it’s a story so well told that I can’t hate it. Laska comes to mind as I hold my own Espeon plushie near to me. I can’t help but hold her closer afterwards. It’s short, but still reached me on a level beyond most stories lately. Very well done. I’m glad I happened upon this.

Ahh... then, I'm sorry for the whole story.

To tell a truth, for now, this comic is unfinished for me. The main theme of the story is "the kindness is weakness or not" and "what Laska gives to the world".
In their world, pokemons are bad for each other because humans in the world use them in the bad ways. (I think this is happening in Japan too. Some rich people use poor people but poor people are always fighting each other. Therefore, always rich people win.)
In Laska's world, I will talk about "Can weak person change the world." Yes, there are too less things in the comic.

Actually, Laska will sacrifice his life in most cases in my plan now but I don't know. The story is moving by itself....



Hmhm... then, you will be Ages! He is the one who receive Laska's pure feeling and do his best! (Yeah, but you may close to Laska, hehehe...)
Thank you very much! I have so many to draw and in many reasons, I should finish my originals first. However, as a creator, I ahve many things to try to tell/ask to the world. Please wish I will have enough time for it! : )
I'm glad to meet to someone kind!

Do not apologize. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m not sure if you mean in Laska’s world, or in the Pokémon world in general when you say “In their world”.

Laska deserves better than losing his life, but it’s unfortunately necessary.

Whatever you do, I wish you the best. I hope you continue to tell many stories.
