Run, run, run, all you do is run, but you'll never run away from yourself


Sergio is a young boy who really has no interest in pokemon battles. However, when he learns that joining the gym challenge would allow him the chance to escape his home life, he embarks on a journey to become the new champion of Galar. Though the road there proves to be much harder than he initially thought.

Oh a Galar Nuzlocke!
What is your policy on randomizing encounter?
do you just approach the first symbol encounter(overworld) that appear nearest to you in the grass? try to get the first non symbol encounter? or just close your eyes and wander around till encounter?
and may I know your policy in dividing the wild area?

anyway! best of luck on the run and god speed on the comic!

Love Hop's cheeky approach to waking his neighbour up. I love the style of this comic, very cute and the backgrounds look great, and I'm always excited to see more Galar nuzlockes!! Can't wait to see what shenanigans these kids get up to!

Pff, I can relate already, anyone that wakes me up before I'm ready? Gets the angry shuffling zombie version of me until there's some caffeine involved and a good hand full of wake up time.

Good to see you made your way from DA to the forums ^ ^

I must out myself as being Hau in this situation. Hopefully he, like me, crashes when the sun goes down, so Sergio can get back at him. :P

I can’t imagine a quiet character isn’t chafed by Hop’s exuberance every once in awhile, hahaha. But it’s that kind of opposites-attract dynamic thats so fun to read. I’m happy you’ve started you comic, and shared it with us. Good luck, and happy Nuzlocking!

Hey yall! First of all I just wanted to say thank you for all the positive responses to this already!
Oh a Galar Nuzlocke!
What is your policy on randomizing encounter?
do you just approach the first symbol encounter(overworld) that appear nearest to you in the grass? try to get the first non symbol encounter? or just close your eyes and wander around till encounter?
and may I know your policy in dividing the wild area?

anyway! best of luck on the run and god speed on the comic!
Ah shoot, I tried to be as thorough as possible when explaining my rules, but it seems I forgot about those! Encounters are chosen by the overworld encounter that spawns closest to me! Wild areas are divided by name. So each differently named area is a new catch area if that makes sense!
Thank you!
Love Hop's cheeky approach to waking his neighbour up. I love the style of this comic, very cute and the backgrounds look great, and I'm always excited to see more Galar nuzlockes!! Can't wait to see what shenanigans these kids get up to!
Thank you so much! I tried to play off Hop's very forward and excitable character and I hope it works out in the long run haha. He's a lot of fun imo
Pff, I can relate already, anyone that wakes me up before I'm ready? Gets the angry shuffling zombie version of me until there's some caffeine involved and a good hand full of wake up time.

I agree with you there lol. I can never help but put just a little bit of myself into my protagonists. Thanks!
I must out myself as being Hau in this situation. Hopefully he, like me, crashes when the sun goes down, so Sergio can get back at him. :P
I'm definitely Sergio here. Any time before 10 AM is too dang early to be awake!
oh man if that ain't a monumental mood

Nothing can dampen Hop's mood! At least not until Bede comes around...
man i guess once pokemon hit 100 years old they dont age huh
Okay I don't wanna come off as rude but I literally have no idea what this comment means haha

Ah, thank you so much!! Sergio isn't always enthralled by Hop's overenthusiasm, but he can never seem to stay mad at him for too long!

And now for the update!
dear_sergio___chapter_1_part_2_by_feraiigatrs_ddzt5t2-fullview.jpg

Okay I'll be the first to point out that this page is super rushed and lazy (honestly the only thing I really like about this page is how cute wooloo turned out), but I just wanted to get it done asap because I unfortunately have to pause working on this for a bit. Due to some personal matters, I have to move out by the 30th of this month and will need to spend all my free time doing that. If I ever have the time I might work on rough drafts for future pages just so I don't fall super behind, but I don't expect there to be another update till maybe around the second week of July-ish. After that I plan to update every Friday or Saturday, but I can't make any promises lol

Nobody can resist presents, not even an introverted protagonist! Already we're getting a good feel of our main characters' relationship and its really cute. I'm especially a big fan of the little Wooloo with big ears design, just adorable!

And good luck with your move! Don’t feel too rushed about updates, you’ve got plenty of comic to get a rhythm with. And hey, if you ever need a work-pact buddy or someone to look over your stuff, hit me up! handshake meme but you, all of us, working on our comics.

Your move comes first! Don't worry about "letting your audience down." Your audience loves and appreciates when you take care of yourself. Self-care shines through! :D

I'd normally save replies for posting a new comic page, but I'm gonna give em rn because I have a mini announcement for anyone who might be interested!

I have started reuploading an old side nuzlocke of mine. The comic has actually been on hiatus for a long time now but starting on this one gave me the inspiration to pick it back up. There won't be any new updates until I get my life sorted out, but I have enough pages out to post weekly for over a month lol. Anyway if yall wanna check it out its just a dumb sloppily drawn comic thats not meant to be taken seriously. Read it here

Thank you! I'm really excited to get more into Hop's and Sergio's relationship!

Thank you friend! I hope so too!

Okay so I am CONVINCED that Hop picked up that wooloo while trying to get Sergio to come along because he knew it would be 10x harder to say no to that cute little face. That's my bet and I'm sticking to it.

I like Hop, but 7 am is too early to be alive. Sergio's face is the exact mood.

HEYOO FINALLY BACK WITH AN UPDATE! Wanted it done by Saturday buuuut I procrastinated lmao
dear_sergio___chapter_1_part_3_by_feraiigatrs_de17uwa-fullview.jpg

The layout of this page looked a lot better in my head. Layout/composition really isn't my strong point and I'm hoping to improve on it. BUT I decided to switch to text for dialogue rather than writing everything out because 1. its faster and 2. figured it might be easier to read. Let me know what you think!
Anyway I'm hoping to be able to go back to a weekly schedule now but my mental state has honestly become a little eh recently so who knows

Okay so I am CONVINCED that Hop picked up that wooloo while trying to get Sergio to come along because he knew it would be 10x harder to say no to that cute little face. That's my bet and I'm sticking to it.

yep. any person who can willingly wake up before 10 am can't be trusted imo
Ooh, I can't wait to see when Sergio and Sobble meet.
It might be a while before that happens, but their reunion is going to be interesting to say the least :3
