power is taken, never given.

fernando is not one to be denied. he refuses to take no for an answer. today is no exception.

the safari zone is not suited to his needs. he does not require exotic pokemon. no, he needs strong pokemon, tough pokemon, obedient pokemon. the power of the exclusivity means nothing to him. what they can do for him, what usage he can unravel, is all that matters. any pokemon can be useful when used in the proper niche. they can also be useless in every other situation. over time he's come to demonstrate his understanding of theory. his usage of foreign pokemon, those shunned by main stream trainers, has proved effective.

today he looks to expand, not for expansion sake, but as bargaining chips. the influx of cold weather has painted the safari zone as a stark white canvas. rumors of ice type pokemon frolicking in the environment reaches every level of the league. as the residential ice type expert, who better than fernando to scope out the haul.

at its core, today is no different than any other. they will come. he will conquer. they will submit.

the only difference is his intent. he catches them not for their power but for their value. pokemon catching is no sport, it's a way sustenance and he's just the man to turn it into a business.

what he comes across is nothing more than a street urchin. the sneasel dares to intrude on his being, thinking that it finds another easy trainer it can PICKPOCKET food off of. should fernando struggle, the dark type has no qualms with roughing him up with a good, old fashioned BEAT UP. but the man does not stop because a pokemon threatens him. nor does he negotiate. the pokemon can snatch up the pokeball he draws but not all of them. the pokemon only has two hands.

what's left in the aftermath is soon buried in the never-ending snow. a soft "hmph" is resignation enough to leave the bloody pulp with a lesson learned.

fernando continues.

glaceon. that bodes much better for the task at hand. having one of his own, fernando understands that raw value the pokemon provides. the ice mastery, the exclusivity of being on the eevee species line, and its appeal among coordinators proves essential to its market price. for that reason alone, fernando bothers with a show of restraint. leaving any bruises or punctures will detract from the pokemon's overall worth.

hypnosis, dream eater, disable, thunder wave.

there's many tools to deal with it and going beyond what delicacy he orders for can be remedied by a few treatments of HEAL PULSE.

only the soft clicking noise of a successful capture brings fernando's ambush to an end. with a wave of his hand, his pokemon return, preferring the shelter of their pokeballs to the extended stay outside, out here in the cold. the soft crunch of snow under his boots give a satisfying answer to his reach for the pokeball.

that's one down and two more to go.

fernando comes across yet another pokemon he's encountered before. well, not quite. it appears to be the unevolved form of his aurorus. much like the gible he came across, he has little value in pokemon that only have a fraction of the power of his current team. and, unlike the gible, he can't remember anyone that show any obvious interested in such a species. something like this is indeed hard to come across, but how many trainers are familiar with it. its relatively unknown status makes it hard to value.

fernando ignores the amaura in lieu of furthering his progress. the deeper in to the safari he goes, the more frequent the encounters.

yet another pokemon that he owns at a different level of evolution. perhaps amassing an army has its downsides. the thrill of the hunt is now stifled by the overwhelming familiarity he has with the wild pokemon that call the safari home. well, at the very least, he's aware of the pokemon's strength and value. which, in this case, is almost none. not until it becomes something more. only then does the swinub boast the power to be a worthy addition.

fernando ignores the swinub in lieu of furthering his progress. the deeper in to the safari he goes, the more frequent the encounters.

the swinub are a pest. the snow brings them out like the ratata of the city. everywhere he turns, he can see their beady little forms shuffle along the thick coat of snow that hides both grass and half frozen food. those that end up using bait to catch their pokemon end up leaving the perfect snack for the scavengers when their time runs out. fernando ignores the pokemon entirely, keeping his glalie close should they prove hostile.

"how does it feel to be in your element? do you miss it?"

idle chatter between master and servant. it's unbecoming of him to grace his pokemon with conversation but out here they're alone. there's no one to interrupt, no one to eavesdrop. fernando can barely hear himself with wild call of nature's BLIZZARD.

"do you miss scavenging the wild like these swinub? to throw yourself to nature's will and live off the fortune of the land?"

the glalie clamps down on its jaw. the tremor of frozen teeth send a shiver down fernando's spine. that's all the answer he needs.

"that's what i thought. your palate has grown to match my own."

only the sweet taste of victory can bring a satisfaction to their gluttonous stomachs.

the cold does nothing to the silph. he lacks the body heat that the winter wishes to steal from. what lies inside is a cold blooded megalomaniac who only cares for the truth of the world and how to distort it. everything else becomes insignificant. if it doesn't fall within his objectives, he ignores it. glalie keeps him company and finds solace in their silence. this truly is their element.

"do you remember your days as a snorunt?"

the sight of a sandshrew begs the question. it's one that fernando thinks about at times. his childhood had molded him, created him, ever since that fateful day where he lied bleeding out after being mangled by a feral ursaring. there's no doubt that pokemon do the same. it's only a matter of if.

the sheen of the amaura is blinding. having its evolution brings some sense of familiarity between the duo but the distorted colors causes them to have a double take. white as the snow that graces the safari zone, the amaura seems to gleam as each snowflake tickles at its rock hard hide. fernando has no favor for aesthetics but he's not here for himself. he's here to trade. his barter is the wild pokemon's life in exchange for servitude.

"sit out this one. we need it untouched."

his hunt had been deliberate. for that reason alone, fernando carries a pokemon that rarely sees the light of day - at least in battle. the musharna that comes out is more suited for the indoors, often kept in a lab or somewhere else in fernando's condo. out here, it's only purpose it to dispatch enemies without ever physically harming them. the amaura never has a chance to react to the HYPNOSIS, locked into a deep sleep which doesn't let the pokemon follow up with retaliation.

the DREAM EATER and NIGHTMARE that comes after drains it of any fight it may have had. one more safari ball down and one more to go.
