Wicked White2 Workout! 32

Yeah, Fuzzy died back there...  The black Pokeball thing was something I put in to justify Michi not going back to find him.  (Seriously, though, she figured he was dead when the Sigilyph showed back up.  That thing is merciless...)  

Basically, I figure that Pokeballs are connected to the Pokemon's life/bio/magic/whatever signature when they're captured.   If the Pokemon dies or breaks free like they do in the games, then the Pokeball can no longer be used.  The button going dark is a way to show the trainer that the ball is no good.

In lighter news, the next page will NOT be in the desert!  I can't tell you how happy I am about that...
