Zac's Snap Catch
Route 117 | Solo Wild



THEME

Back to basics. Zac thought, as he took a deep breath of the fresh, Route 117 air. It was morning, and the luxurious banks of grass were still sparkling with dew. It's a good time to be outside. And a fantastic time to be out here with Devin. It's been too long.

    "You ready mate?" He asked, and Devin gave him the signal.
The red light flicked on.
    "Howzit goin' Rippers! It's Zac Ramsay here with another Zac's Snap Catch!" He boomed, voice carrying over the hills and startling some nearby Bunnelby. "Today we're here in Route 117 just for a little look at some of what mother nature has to offer."

He pointed over to where a little Bunnelby had poked its head back out of its hole to watch him. "That Bunnelby is part of the local colony. A super-colony actually. As soon as the weather gets warmer you'll see an explosion in their numbers, and come mid-spring this band of burrowing, bouncing bunnies will hit numbers peaking in the tens of thousands!"
Devin panned the camera across the warren, where the rabbits had reemerged and were chewing placidly on the greenery.
"When that happens, these little hoppers will spread out to nearby routes to establish their own burrows or join some of the ones already extant there."
    Zac walked across the hill, and Devin followed with the hand cam. At the peak, the redheaded host pointed down at a spread of flowers clustered between two of the verdant hills. "Pokemon are everywhere out here, and are experts at keeping their presence a secret. Whether it be maintaining a low profile by living underground, or hiding in plain sight, you can be sure that pokemon are barely a few steps away, and you wouldn't be blamed for mistaking that patch of roses for a natural flowerbed, but if we get a little closer you can just make out the sleepy faces of a snoozing grove of Roselia." Devin zoomed in on the little plants, which were almost indistinguishable from regular roses while bunched together and sleeping.
    "They cluster together like that for protection against their natural predators. Big herbivores like Aggron, Tropius, and Rapidash." Zac said with a grin. "That's right! That flaming filly has a ferocious fixture on our floral friends."
    He clambered further down the hill. At the bottom, he gestured over at the blooms. "Most of the Roselia here have got either red or blue flowers, but you can spot a few in there where their natural coloration has come through a few shades lighter or darker." Zac said, and Devin panned over the patch, where purple, pink, and even turquoise flowers were nestled among the sea of red and blue.
    "In Kalos there are breeders who specialise in Roselia. They grow them in every color of Ho-oh's trail. It's common to see a few out here in the wild with non-standard colouring, but the genes are recessive most times, so they duck and weave through the gene pool like a spooked Zigzagoon."
    Zac took a step back from the garden to let Devin get some close up shots.  
Man it feels great to be back out here, just spreading truth about the natural world.

Zac's Snap Catch
Route 117 | Solo Wild



THEME

A Venomoth fluttered down to have a try at the Roselias, and Zac took a step back. The massive moth hovered, its wing beats lightly batting the roses as it picked a spot to alight. Despite its size, the creature was rather light, and it maintained a slow flap as it landed, supping from the drowsy flowers.
"Aint she a beaut?" Zac whispered, watching the feeding. Shimmering orange dust drifted down from the Venomoth's wings, sticking to the Roselia, who seemed unaffected. "Now you may be thinking that there is no way a monster of that size could dance about unnoticed across the flower patch, and you're absolutely right. The Roselia are aware of it, and let it feed. But why? Well this is very cool. You see that powder? That's a natural Stun Spore, which our little budding buddies are completely immune to! How about that!" 
    As Zac talked, the Venomoth moved across the flowers, spreading its dust across the whole patch. "It's a mutually beneficial arrangement. The Venomoth gets a snack, and in exchange he adds a layer of powdery defence against any predators looking for more than just a quick sip of nectar."

Zac's Snap Catch
Route 117 | Solo Wild



THEME

Venomoth finished sipping on the flowers and rose into the air, wings beating a little harder now that the lavender coloured lepidopteran was full of nectar. 
"Gooooorgeous!" Zac breathed as he watched it go, and he was about to turn away when he picked up something in the air. Not a sound, but a feeling, a vibration.
    A Ledian buzzed down from a nearby tree and landed at the edge of the patch, glaring at the retreating form of Venomoth.
"Get down!" Zac hissed, as he dropped to the ground, watching the furious insect jump towards the patch. "Ledian are incredibly territorial," Zac explained, as he shimmied along the ground away from the flower patch. "and it looked like that male has claimed the patch."
    The Ledian reached the crop of flowers and stopped, compound eyes searching over the buds. He wriggled, and his shell took on a shimmering, fuzzing aspect. Now protected, Ledian took to the air, hovering as he inspected the Roselia. Carefully, he checked for damage, clearing chunks of Venomoth's orange powder from the arms and bodies of the clustered Roselia.
"See that? Ledian used safeguard to protect from the paralysing spores! Now that's something you don't see every day."

Zac's Snap Catch
Route 117 | Solo Wild



THEME

Two thick, mitteny hands burst from the Roselia bed, and clapped the air just in from of Ledian. Needles filled the air like pieces of shrapnel, and nearby Roselia cried out in alarm as the little pin missiles scratched them. 
    Ledian's response was sudden and brutal, as the bug dove head first at his attacker. Four fists struck the hapless Cacturne with blinding speed and it crumpled to the ground, the attempted ambush foiled.
    "Now that was a quick fight," laughed Zac, "But speed is the name of the game out here, and that was one hell of a Mach Punch. More than one actually, and if you watch it back at a slower speed you'll see that Ledian probably hit that poor plant a few dozen times."
    Cacturne crawled out of the patch, dejectedly dragging itself away from the juicy bug prey.
    "That's right folks, the Mach punch is actually named after Machamp, the fighting pokemon famous for being capable of punching 100 times a second. What an absolute beast."
    Cacturne crawled towards them, and Zac looked at the bruised creature with pity. "Aw hell mate, let me take you back home. I've got a nice sandy garden and a friend or two for you. And no bully bugs," he promised. The Cacturne collapsed, and Zac caught him before Ledian noticed.
    "Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Zac's Snap Catch," Zac said into the camera. He kept his voice low, as he and Devin crept away from the well defended garden.
"See you later Feraligatr!" Zac whispered.
"In a while Krookodile!" Devin echoed.
