Cheren's Journey

A telling of Pokemon Black Version from the point of view of the Hero of Truth's more stubborn rival, Cheren. On his quest to become Champion of the Unova region, Cheren faces many obstacles, not the least of which is overcoming his surprisingly talented best friend. As he learns more about what it means to be strong, he must face Gym Leaders, dangerous wild Pokemon, and the ever growing threat of the mysterious Team Plasma. Updating Tuesday and Friday!

Cheren the walking dictionary just can't resist defining things. It's why he only has three friends.

Nothing gets me going like a rousing speech from an old man in a bathrobe.

Who's THIS tool? And why is his snuggie so hard to draw? Is the plot actually moving? Find out next time on True Strength!

Heeeeeey, guess who's finally getting back on track? Sorry, guys! I know this has been my excuse a lot lately, but life is crazy! Though now that I've gotten a good grasp on my school schedule, I think I'll do better! Expect updates on Mondays now! Anyway, looks like someone's finally thinking outside the glory-hungry box.

Last year’s Christmas card from Nuvema. It’s hard when your best friends are both pretty girls and your grandchildren-obsessed mom can’t help but notice.

Merry Christmas!

So every now and then, I'll be uploading certain extras! One of those extras will be excerpts from Cheren's personal sketchbook! He draws a lot of the people and Pokemon he meets in order to study them (and write his opinions on them.) This time around, it's Corsair!

Hey, an update! Sorry! Work got crazy, Sun and Moon happened... You know the drill. Anyway, the Nuzlocke Forum Extravaganza is going on and Other Adventures are eligible this year, so my comic is in the running for Best Protagonist, as well as a few other categories! Nominations end tomorrow, so I'd be really excited if you guys wanted to nominate my comic for anything! Go and nominate all your favorite Pokemon comics!

He's here. And those blank grey eyes are judging YOU. Yes, you. Specifically.

Sorry for the skipped page last week! I got incredibly sick, incredibly busy, and injured my drawing hand all on top of each other. Powering through it all, though! Cover the eyes of the children! I don't know what's scarier... the blood or the attempted close-ups.

Corsair Vision is fun to draw.

Cheren seems pretty confident in his abilities to keep this from turning into a complete disaster. Fake it til you make it.

AND SO HE IS NAMED. Cheren is a... passionate individual. (Although Cheren was inspired by mighty ancient warriors, I happened to be inspired by this)

My two cats are both being... challenges lately. So this page was sort of cathartic to write. Poor Purrloin. So cute... so useless.

Cheren has a lot of experience with dodging Bianca's shopping trips. Hilda's never been as lucky.

Hey, been a while, hasn't it? Sorry for the lack of warning. Life got pretty crazy for a while. But the comic's back! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to keep the pace I had before and I'll have to lower it to one page a week for the time being. So for now, you can look forward to updates on Friday! But, hey! We finally made it out of Route One! Slowly but surely, the adventure is gaining traction...

Edit: So, because I've been gone so long, I didn't even realize my comic had been nominated for the Nuzlocke Forum's Summer Spectacular! Even without my knowledge/campaigning it managed to tie for second place for Best Other Adventures Pokemon Comic! I'm so happy and honored! Go check out all the other winners if you're interested in other great Pokemon comics and stories!

Ah, Hilda... You've only been gone a few pages but I really missed drawing and shading your ridiculous hair...
