time to sink myself into this beautiful hell.

Alexei never been so disappointed with himself.

If he’d found out about the Safari Zone much earlier—and had gotten the funds together much sooner—he’d have been able to cross out some of the Ice-types on his rather extensive ‘to search for’ list. But that didn’t happen, and now he was berating himself for taking way too long.

That was why right now, he was going to rectify that glaring mistake by heading over there and starting his search. While one, possibly two of them actively tickled his fancy, he still had a third Safari ball to deal with; so what was he going to do with it? Pondering on the choices, he passed over the money before getting the three balls rolled in his direction.

After going through the security check, it was off into the great wild unknown. While he knew that Unova didn’t have one, there was always a first time for everything.

Unfortunately, how was he to know that the first time of anything would sink him into a hole so deep he couldn’t get himself out of it?

one down, two to go.

Since Alexei hadn’t been to a Safari Zone since forever—seeing as his home region didn’t have one, of course, how could you blame him if his curiosity was piqued—he’d promptly taken the opportunity to get lost within the huge reserve. Sprawling out over several acres of land, the possibilities were endless; and he wasted no time going to some of the colder biomes in search of something that would possibly tickle his fancy.

It didn’t take him too long before a blur suddenly shot out from behind a rock and caught him by surprise, causing him to yelp at the flash of what he guessed were claws. Taking a few steps back, he blinked and saw that it was a Sneasel—definitely one on his ‘to search for’ list. When he saw that the other ear was shorter, he knew he’d struck gold—this was one of the two he was actively searching for!

As the dual-type made a snickering noise in his direction, he blinked at it for a few moments, before a sudden spray of Ice Shards came rocketing in his direction; causing him to yelp and duck for cover. “Hey! Not nice!” he shouted as the Ice-type attack soared above his head—although some came dangerously close to hitting him in the process. “Why are you so mean?”

Another snickering noise came from the Sneasel, who shot out another round of Ice Shard attacks at him, causing him to yelp and scream again, rolling off to the side. Okay, that’s it! he thought, shuffling through his pockets and tossing a Pokéball forward, watching as it transformed into his overeager Riolu, Vincent.

“Vince! Take care of her! She’s being mean to— he began, before another surprised scream came from his direction as yet another spray of Ice Shards came rocketing forward in in their direction. This time, though, the Fighting-type was ready, countering it with a quick use of Force Palm, shooting down as many of the airborne obstacles as he could.

“Keep it up, whatever that was! Force Palm, I think? Close the distance!” he added a few moments later, and in-between the Metal Claw and Slash attempts, the Riolu circling around and avoiding the first but taking the Slash attack head-on as it slammed its fists in a Force Palm strike, before switching to Counter as it readied another Slash attempt; taking the attack before flinging it back with double the power. What he wasn’t expecting was that after the Counter attempt, it suddenly unleashed a series of Bullet Punch attacks; something that caught him off-guard.

Since when did you know that? I caught you in the wild! He thought, wondering if this Riolu of his had a previous owner. But then he remembered, if someone else owned a Pokémon, the ball would bounce back… but it didn’t. Perhaps he got lucky? Who knew.

Either way, the Sneasel and Riolu were now tangled in a vicious one-on-one battle, and after another backhanded Force Palm strike, the Sneasel was sent flying in his direction before coming to an unceremonious halt at his feet. The Riolu then seemingly tapped his paws together, dusting them off before an amused chuckle escaped his lips.

“You sure don’t mess around, huh,” he said in the Fighting-type’s direction before poking the Sneasel with the first of his three Safari Balls, watching as it was sucked into the beam of red light…

two down and one last for myself!

Thankfully the Sneasel didn’t put up too much of a fight—well, how could it after it had faced off against a very overexcited Riolu who wanted to prove his mettle? Chuckling, the Safari Ball then dinged, signaling that he’d caught the first out of three—but another scuffling noise drew the attention of the Fighting-type.

“Vince, wait! Don’t leave—“ he began, before the Fighting-type eagerly shot off in the direction of the noise. “…leave me here,” he finished with an exasperated sigh. Who knew that he’d caught a Fighting-type that was ready to smash with anything that it set its eyes on?

He then dusted off his jacket and followed the Fighting-type. Alexei didn’t have too far to go until he’d caught sight of the Riolu, locked in the middle of another battle with a—wait, wait a second, what?

His PokéGear then began beeping, alerting him to something. Quickly opening it, he checked and pointed it at the second Ice-type—before his eyes blinked and widened. Wait, what? It’s a… it’s a shiny?! He thought, looking up from the screen, to where the fight was happening—where his Riolu had just smacked into it with another Bullet Punch attack; while the ice-colored Sandshrew had retaliated with an Ice Ball attack—and back to the display screen, lit up.

A shiny? How… I can’t… wow, and I thought these were stupid rare! He mused to himself, whistling over the sounds of fighting. “Vince! Force Palm! Your Bullet Punch isn’t going to work too well on that one!” he called out, before the Riolu looked up in his direction—and got smacked in the face with another Ice Ball attack a few moments later.

“…and try to keep your head in the game, please,” he added a few moments later, chuckling softly as the Riolu then rounded angrily on the Alolan Sandshrew, who was snickering in the Fighting-type’s direction. It then charged forward with an Iron Head, which the Fighting-type quickly side-stepped—and the icy-colored Sandshrew instead ended up hitting a nearby tree.

“Ow,” he groaned as the other Pokémon then turned around, looking a little punch-drunk and worse for wear before lobbing another Ice Ball in its direction. Quickly ducking its head, the Riolu then dashed forward, before unloading another series of quick Force Palm strikes; eventually causing the Alolan Sandshrew to stagger backwards. Another series of one-two Force Palm strikes sealed the deal, and the Fighting-type batted it in his companion’s direction—to which a second Safari Ball was dropped atop the icy Sandshrew’s hard head.

did a double-take over there. Taking this one!

Thankfully, the sparkly one didn’t break out of the Safari Ball, and so that made two.

Once it had stopped shaking, he then pocketed it, still unable to believe his luck—had he just really caught a shiny? Just now? Blinking, he looked up in time to see that… yet again, his Riolu had dashed ahead, having been drawn to the source of yet another noise that caught its fancy. Knowing better than to call out to it, he squared his shoulders and made to follow it—before a chilly sort of wind blasted in his face.

“What the hell?” he began, looking around—was there a snowstorm coming? A few moments later, a loud cry from his Riolu revealed otherwise; as it was now in the middle of a battle with what he recognized to be a Glaceon.

“Oh, come on, it summoned a Hail storm?” he continued, wrapping his jacket around himself to keep warm as the Eeveelution charged forward with a sudden barrage of Ice Shard attacks. “Get out of the way and be careful!” he called to the overeager Riolu, who’d made to dodge as fast as he could manage with a Force Palm one-two strike, managing to swat down most of the airborne projectiles. A few came sailing in his direction, but by the time they fell it had drifted out of the zone where the Hail storm was progressing.

“Take it down, quickly!” he continued, as this time the Glaceon rushed forward with an Ice Fang attack; only for the Riolu to take on the attack before Countering it and returning the damage with twice the power. As the Glaceon shrieked and fell back, the Fighting-type rushed around, avoiding the spikes of ice as best as he could manage—but still getting waylaid by some of them—before slamming its fists right into the Ice-type with another one-two Force Palm strike.

“Switch out to your other thing! Bullet Punch!” and out came the fast and furious punching moves, quicker than his eye could see. The Ice-type prepared to slam into it with a point-blank Ice Shard again, but the punches were falling hard and fast. “Wear it down!” he went on, watching as the Riolu alternated between Force Palm and Bullet Punch, eventually wearing the Glaceon down.

At the same time, the Hail came to a stop, and this was where he took aim; tossing the third and last Safari Ball at the fallen Pokémon.
