Summer stirred on her lap as the soft hoof beats of the Ponyta rustled the emerald grass, “Oh!” Eva gasped as the stunning ivory pony trotted up towards the cautiously. Her neck extended, large nares flaring to get a good sniff of the doctor’s backpack that sat beside them, “Ah, you can smell ‘em, can’t ya?”

Eva grabbed her bag, causing the Ponyta to jump back, “Whoa, hey there, sorry, didn’t mean to scare ya, after a few second of rummaging the doctor pulled out a baggie of cut up carrots. They were meant to be a snack for later if they stayed in the Safari Zone. Eva knew better than to feed the wildlife but . . . she was too cute to resist, “Here, have a carrot,” her pal laid flat for the Ponyta to cautiously creep forward and suck the carrot out of her hands, “Yum!” she laughed, offering the Ponyta another treat. Yep, this cutie was coming with her. Instead of a carrot, Eva presented the Ponyta with a Safari Balll, “Lots more where that came from,” she grinned, waiting for the Ponyta to accept her offer.

The Galarian Ponyta happily accepted her offer and gently tapped the pokeball before it sucked her in and chimed in recognition. Eva smiled and placed the pokemon into the pocket of the backpack they had been rummaging through earlier, “What a beautiful pokemon,” she mused to herself as she snapped a carrot in two between her teeth.

“Bell!” Summer cooed softly, pointing a small finger towards a strange looking rock at the edge of the lake. It shifted, rising off the ground. Eva recognized the Minior right away having seen several of them during her time with Zac Ramsay, “Keep it around with a SWEET SCENT,” she told the grass-type while she rummaged for an empty Safari Ball through her pack.

A soft pink powder began to float out of the Bellossom’s colorful flowers. It drifted on the wind towards the Minior. The pokemon paused when the SWEET SCENT surrounded it. Curiously, it turn around to see Eva and the Bellossom looking towards it, “Leaf Storm!” she commanded, pointing towards it. A flurry of petals rose from the ground. The razor sharp leaves shot towards the Minior and consumed it in a wild slurry of leaves. When the storm subsided, Eva tossed a Safari Ball at the Minior in an attempt to capture it.

Eva shot up to her feet to retrieve the pokeball that now housed the Shiny Minior. A bright smile lit up her face as she tossed the pokeball into the air to catch it again, “Bet Zac Ramsay would love to see this lil guy!” although, he likely already had about a dozen Minior, one of them was bound to be shiny.

Eva turned around to return to her bag, but something had already beaten her to it. A little Hatenna was rummaging through her belongings, no doubt searching for the cheese crackers that were hidden in a baggie at the bottom of it. The pokemon wandered too close to the empty Safari Balls., “Oh my!” Eva gasped as a flash of light consumed the Hatenna. She must have accidently smacked into one of them during her search. Eva simply watched to see if the pokemon would be captured by the Safari Ball or not. Hatenna could be wonderful support pokemon.

Surprisingly, the Hatenna was captured quite easily in the Safari Ball. Eva leaned over the backpack and scooped it up with a shrug only to tuck it back into the pocket that held the other full Safari Balls.

“One more, let’s start heading back, huh?” Eva returned the Gyarados and signaled for Summer to start following her back down the path towards the park exit. On the way, an Orcario leapt into the path, eager to show off its dance moves. The pokemon swayed to and fro before breaking down into a crazy series of moves that made Eva’s jaw drop. There was nothing . . . graceful about it.

“Um, excellent work!” she smiled with a nervous laugh as the pokemon bow in recognition, “Come with us and we’ll work on those moves,” she offered, tossing the pokeball towards the dancer.
