YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT POKÉBALL TO BE REPAIRED

I suppose they could, but the Pokeball would still be under his former trainer's name and no one else would be able to use it and Zeus would be "released" from it anyway, and still not be able to use it.

I just realized but Zeus would look dope with a damaged eye. It looked a little greyed-out in the sixth panel which made me look again.

Ah, I did that to make it look like he was coming out of his rage briefly. His eye isn't damaged. It would look cool, but I think I've given him enough scars. XD

The most interesting thing about this page is the mention that the pokeball is broken is what set him off. I wonder why?
Also Nuuuu don't make the emotionally sad electabuzz shed tears.

Man, this entire page is just paneled really well! I especially love how in the panel Ashley is holding the pokeball, it almost looks like his arm is moving forward and out of the frame, towards Zeus.
I also find it really neat to see an interaction like this out of Will's perspective. I got really used to being able to understand what EVERYONE was saying, and having this be something Ashley was doing really emphasizes how one-sided communication with pokemon and trainers typically is. Its neat.

Thank you! It's good to know that I do layout and perspective pretty well.
I'm glad you find it interesting. It certainly has been a challenge for me, because there's a lot of talking among Will and co, since everyone can understand each other. But here I have to communicate things through other methods. Ashley is really the only one talking here, so when the Pokemon "say" something it has to be interpreted through his understanding of their random barks, growls, or noises. The juxtaposition between his and Will's communication with Pokemon wasn't necessarily intended, but it's a cool side-effect to show that difference and how much one can appreciate Will's ability to get everything that is going on with her Pokemon.

Wow, a lot of was packed into this in the best way. Great actions scenes that showcase their skills ans power as well as showing raw emotions such as anger, despair, and stubbornness. Zeus' suffering is intense, with that Pokeball all that he has left, but he just can't accept that he can't go in because that means he loses the one last connection he has left to his trainer. And he knows this, it's clearly written on his face. But when we lose something dear we try all we can to hold onto that feeling, even when it becomes unhealthy. Zeus is going to need to be able to accept the horrors of what he lost and that he can still have good connections to what he lost without physical goods in order to start healing. It'll be a long, tough road, but if he has good friends to support him, he can start to heal. The scars left will probably stay, but he can get better.

Thank you so much! You're really good at reading all the emotion that I put on the page. I'm really glad that a lot of the nuances come across. Zeus really needs some healing, there's a lot going on there. Ashley is trying to help him, but he needs to find the right words.

OH NO BAYleef !!! Also it’s glad to see that your back did you have fun with your family road trip? And it’s also nice to see that he actually has a heart and only acts like a jerk with others l. Also you missed a lot from me and a couple of events on Deviant for March I think ?

I'm actually still vacationing. I'm just making sure to post updates as per usual. So my replies and such aren't going to be as frequent.

Wellp.. he tried? and as far I've seen.. not bad at all..

Maybe he could've just.. rolled the pokeball to him? I don't know just thinking along here Okay! D8

An A for effort?
Zeus is just a bit more erratic that I think Ashley was expecting.
