His classmates weren't exaggerating when they said that the safari was beautiful. It had this peaceful, tranquil air, decorations doing just exactly what was needed to make everything look festive. But, like, spiritual festive. Cogimo focused less on capturing something and more on just enjoying his time. That is until he noticed the wild Buneary hopping around, trying to reach one of the paper boats floating in the river.[break]"Whimsy, be a dear and help that cute Buneary over there, alright?" The cotton puff pokemon made an agreeing noise before floating to the paper boat and pushing it near the coast. The wild pokemon grabbed it, making pleasing sounds on its own before Shimaru went and threw the pokeball provided by the safari.

Attempts catching the Buneary.

With a pleased smile he picked up the pokeball. It was a strange feeling indeed to capture, officially, his first pokemon and there was an underlying worry that he's taking the little critter from its home, but...He honestly hoped it wasn't as dramatic as he now imagined it. And the boy didn't have a lot of time to wonder about such things anyway as only a moment later he spotted a tiny Dedenne. Cogimo wanted to throw the pokeball, cause cute, but no luck as the tiny mouse pokemon saw him before, quickly disappearing in the underbrush. Oh well...

Pass

For a moment he thought he had hit the jackpot but it seemed that Cogimo's cottonee had a different opinion. As the adorable Duskull was slowly approaching them a strong gust of [Fairy Wind] surrounded the poor ghost pokemon, sending it packing away. Without looking back the tiny black-robed creature flew in the sky without looking back.[break]"Whimsy!? Why did you do that?" The boy whined while his pokemon just kept humming some sort of tune, oblivious to it's master's misery.

Pass

Well, this was a beauty now. Big, strong, healthy Tauros grazing the grass, looking majestic in the evening sun. Nice indeed. Cogimo gave a stare to Whimsy, then to Tauros, then Whimsy again. The Cottonee seemed confused at first but soon started its happy chirping as it was charging another [Sun Blast]. The trainer quickly waved his hands to stop the pokemon and he got lucky when the grass fairy did.[break]"[Cotton Spores], please!" Another chirp and the pokemon flew out of their hiding spot and above the Tauros. Once on it, the spores started to quickly turn into thick cotton, Cogimo using that moment to throw his pokeball.

Attempt of capture.

Success. Cogimo was about to have a small victory dance but as he was picking up the pokeball something climbed on his back, furry hands wrapping around his neck. As the boy was turning around (I know, smart), whatever was on his back turned to the boy's front, holding on to the student's jacket. It was a chimchar.[break]
You see, he had no problems with pokemon's climbing him. You get used to it. But the pokemon had fire for a tail and...Well, Cogimo likes not being on fire. Such, you can imagine why he was nervous. The tiny fellow, though, had no such calms, sniffing at the males and then down. This confused the boy until he remembered the pokemon treats he had packed.[break]"Hey little one! Wanna come home with me? I promise a balanced diet if you promise not to set me on fire. Okay?" The chimchar seemed to care only for the treat presented to him and, such, Cogimo lightly threw the last pokeball to capture this tiny creature.
