Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })CharCole is a webcomic drawn by Kyrio, set within the Pokémon world.It follows the misadventures of Cole Nero. Though the son of the local Pokémon professor, he was actually never that interested in becoming a Trainer. But on his 18th birthday, he finds himself dragged along on a Pokémon journey anyways- on the other side of the Pokéball.An encounter with a badly-programmed reconstructor/teleporter leaves him stranded in the woods as a Charmander. Confused, he accidentally lets himself be caught by neophyte trainer Brian Wheaton, who makes up in enthusiasm what he lacks in competence.Unable to communicate his predicament to the human world for the time being, he reluctantly goes along with Brian- and soon begins to fear just how naturally he takes to battling. Then a 2000-year-old psychopathic Mew gets wind of his situation, and things start getting complicated...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Instant Expert: Subverted, Just because Cole's now a Charmander doesn't mean he knows how to breathe fire. Aodan has to teach him how to do quite a few things that don't come instinctively.

How Do I Shot Web?: After turning Cole's father into a Charizard and commands him use his fire on him, it turns out he genuinely doesn't know how as a result of Maoh suppressing his mind. The chapter this happens in even references the trope name.

Wham Episode
 CharCole (Webcomic) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Chapter 9, Psycho Safari. Cole tries to write a message to Professor Cedar and explain his situation, only to find out the Prof. had put two and two together and knew Cole was a Charmander all along. Cole then agrees to some stress tests, which consist of Prof. Cedar trying to shoot Cole's head off while he runs for his life. Dante tries to intervene, but this just leads to him getting shot at. To save Dante, Cole literally catches on fire and stops the bullet with his freaking hands, all while remaining in control unlike his previous tastes of power. Even Maoh was impressed.

Split-Personality Takeover: Whether or not Cole/Charlie will succumb to this is a large part of the main plot, and it's something he's very worried about. It may be what Maoh was attempting to instigate by futzing around with Cole's subconcious in the first place.

Theme Naming: Colenote sounds like "coal", or an ember, Prometheusnote the giver of fire in Greek mythology, Nero note Roman emperor associated with the Great Fire of Rome, and Aodannote name means "fire" are all linked to fire in some way. The towns of the Lassoh region, as well as the region itself, are all named after Photoshop filters or tools. Various other characters are theme named as well such as the Grass/Fire gym leading family, the Wheatonsnote wheat also being a plant. Including Ivalinenote Sounds like Ivy, Mandragora, and Briannote a slight mutation of Briar Pokemon are generally named with their species or type in mind. Such as Charlie the Charmander, Kraker the Pikachu, or Bud the Bulbasaur.
