four out of six. OH MAN!

He was definitely surprised to find out that instead of three Safari Balls, he’d been given four at the entrance of the Safari Zone. He was about to question why that was the case but chose not to, instead passing over the payment and going through the security check.

His eyes almost popped out of his head the moment he’s taken a second look at what was appearing in the area. While the first week hadn’t interested him so much, it was this week that had nearly broken his resolve—wait, it had already broken the moment he spotted the Cyndaquil on the list!

Well, it never hurts to have more than one Fire-type… right? He thought idly as he was finally allowed entry into the sprawling area.

He already knew which four he wanted to search out; the problem now was hopefully managing to encounter all of them the first time—and while he wasn’t so much a great shake when it came to telling their various genders and all that other fluffy stuff apart, his PokéGear was more than enough to help him through this.

Raising his left hand, he fiddled around with it as best as he could manage, before setting the alarm to vibrate instead of a loud beeping noise—because he didn’t want to scare away the Pokémon he’d be looking for.

one down and three more to go!

How long had he been in here?

He’d decided to just randomly wander around, hoping that he’d be able to find something—hell, anything—that matched one of the four Fire-types he was looking for.

Shame there’s no Fletchlings to be found… he thought with a little frown, before looking up from his private musing. Had… had he really gone around in several circles throughout the course of his looking through the place? No wonder that particular rock looked way too familiar.

Shaking his head, he was about to take another route when a flash of red suddenly decided to dash across him, before a heat haze startled him from out of nowhere. Looking up at the sight of the flames, he then felt his PokéGear vibrate—it was one of the four he was looking for!

Wasting no time, he plucked one of the two Dive Balls he carried with him at random and tossed it forward. Whether it was going to be Cherre or the little one would be up to chance—

—and he let out a sigh of relief as it was the Squirtle that emerged from the beam of red light! “Cherre, cut that off with a Hydro Pump, now!” he began, looking around and realizing that he was in a rather heavily-forested area; any and all sparks of flame would definitely result in a forest fire if he wasn’t careful!

At the same time the Squirtle let loose with a powerful jet of water, the Fennekin threw up a Light Screen defense shield; but what little hope did it stand against a powerful blast of water? He thought he heard something shatter, before the Fennekin walked full in the face of the Water-type attack, before attempting to use a Psybeam in a desperate effort to turn the tide.

“Cherre… well, what are you waiting for? Water Pulse, now!” he added a few moments later, watching as the Water-type then released another jet of water, smashing right into the incoming attack from the Fire-type; struggling for a few seconds before it was overwhelmed by the force of the more powerful attack. Undaunted, the Fennekin stood up again from where it had fell, throwing out one last desperate Flamethrower attack—only to be met with another powerful Hydro Pump to the face once again.

“Okay, Cherre, that’s enough, you’re overdoing it, he said with a bit of a grin on his face as he popped one of the four Safari Balls to full size and tossed it at the Fennekin, watching as it was absorbed into the beam of red light…



Catch attempt on the Fennekin!

*plays a very loud buzzer noise*

Thankfully the Fennekin went down without too much of a fight, and he approached it carefully, picking up the now-occupied Safari Ball and dropping it down his pocket. No sooner had he done this did his Squirtle began preening herself, showing off some ‘muscles’ she thought she had.

“Oh, come on, Cherre,” he began, trying not to laugh at the sight of the Squirtle that was now parading around him. “Seriously? I didn’t know you were such a joker, too,” he continued, deciding to humor the Water-type and fishing around in another pocket of his jacket.

Now, where the hell did I put those… he thought, searching, searching, searching—until he found what he was looking for! Pulling out a pair of shades that looked obviously too gaudy and too big for him, he then tossed it at the Water-type, who went for it wide and caught it, before placing it on her face and then walking back in his direction—sassing him all the way with a strut that looked like it came from some runway down at Nimbasa back home.

“Oh, pft,” he continued, laughing at the sight, taking out his phone and beginning to record the Squirtle’s antics. Both had gotten so absorbed in the little thing they were doing, he’d almost failed to notice that his PokéGear had gone off again—but after a few seconds of vibrating, it stopped.

“Huh?” he said, looking down at his left wrist and seeing that there was a notification on the screen. Transferring his phone to his right hand, he continued to keep the camera rolling on his Squirtle as he read the message on the screen.

“What shiny? Where?” he mused quietly, looking around and seeing the barest flicker of what he thought was a white tail, before it disappeared. He was about to berate himself for not paying attention—when he noticed that the Salandit his PokéGear had picked up on was a male.

What a shame, indeed.



Oh honey. WRONG GENDER! (unfortunately that's a pass!)

Of course, the Squirtle continued to parade and preen around, like nothing had happened. While Alexei kept the camera trained on the Water-type, he couldn’t help but chuckle at Cherre’s antics as she continued to strut around with the shades perched over her eyes.

Both of them didn’t notice that their little display had drawn the attention of a curious Vulpix that had wandered into their clearing by accident. It wasn’t until Alexei saw that the Squirtle was no longer alone in the video did he realize that his PokéGear was vibrating again, alerting him that another one of the Pokémon he was looking for had walked right into their midst.

“Oh, hello,” he began softly in the Fire-type’s direction. The vulpine continued to watch the Squirtle curiously, until the Water-type turned around and noticed that they were no longer alone… and was about to attack the unexpected ‘intruder’ when he whistled loudly in Cherre’s direction.

“No, Cherre… don’t attack. I’d like to see how you’d win this one over without us having to resort to beating it into the dirt,” he continued, watching as the Squirtle pouted, before letting out an annoyed-sounding huff, before letting out a sigh. “Go on, interact with the Vulpix…” he urged, taking a few steps back so that the Water-type could do her thing.

While the Fire-type continued cleaning its fur like nothing had happened, the Squirtle wandered over and began to talk with the other. Seeing that they were busy, he then took the hint to leave them alone for a bit—to look for Berries, for anything that he could give the Squirtle to use to help get the Vulpix on their side without fighting.

Once the Water-type had gotten close enough to the Fire-type, the two began talking, talking, talking…

…until what felt like another eternity had passed, before the Water-type looked up and noticed that her human companion was no longer there—but there was a pile of Berries not too far from where they were. Gesturing over to the Berries, the Squirtle invited the Vulpix over, even picking out Berries for the other to sample and roast before eating.

Where was Alexei in all this?

Hidden beyond the clearing, watching the two getting more comfortable in each other’s company. As the two worked their way through the pile of Berries he’d left for them, he knew that even without having to fight, Cherre was capable of negotiating with other Pokémon. Once the two were full, the Squirtle caught notice of her companion, and gestured at the now-sleepy Vulpix, who’d curled up for a nap—pleased to have made a new friend.

Taking the cue, Alexei revealed himself from the undergrowth and dropped the second Safari Ball on the Vulpix’s sleeping form, watching as it was sucked into the beam of red light before it fell to the ground…

do you hear the murderous screaming of mrgrgr in the distance?

Well, that went off without too much trouble…

Chuckling softly as the Vulpix quietly came along without a fight, he was about to give his Squirtle a high-five…when his PokéGear went off once again.

However, much like earlier, he was surprised that the vibrating came to a stop after… what, five seconds? Looking up from his musing, the Water-type had pointed out another whipping tail that was making its way through the undergrowth; evidently drawn to where they were currently ‘resting’.

“What? You think?” he said quietly, his eyebrows furrowed together as another Salandit burst onto the scene… and unfortunately after checking the display on his PokéGear, a frown crossed his face.

“Cherre. Nuke it. Look, I don’t care. We’re here for a female, not a… you know what? If we encounter another male of their species I give you full command to blast it out of your way with a Hydro Pump. No excuses, he growled softly, raising his left hand to massage the aching build-up inside his head.

Confused for a few moments, the Water-type blinked—and right before the male Salandit could even take so much as a preliminary attack, a powerful blast of water emerged from the little Squirtle, hitting it dead-on in the face and knocking it away and out of the clearing.

“Honestly? As long as it’s a male Salandit, Cherre, just nuke it. I don’t care, I know you’re going to protest, just. Get. Rid of them.



don't make me angry RNG, you and I are gonna have to talk about this shit. That's a HARD PASS!

“You think we should move?”

He was met with an affirmative nod from the Water-type.

“You think we’ll have better chances if we don’t stay here?” he asked again, just to be sure. After getting a second affirmative nod, Alexei hoped that they’d be able to find something else other than those blasted male Salandit they kept on encountering.

They then moved away from the clearing—and it didn’t take too long before they came across another Pokémon that they were both searching for. As his PokéGear began beeping, he looked up—and then this time, it was a legitimate find; it was a Cyndaquil!

“Oh, wow…” was all he could say, before the Fire-type suddenly opened fire with a Lava Plume attack! Both human and Squirtle let out a yell of surprise; with Alexei dodging out of the way of the incoming attack and the Squirtle quickly firing off a Hydro Pump to put out the fire that was starting to spread.

“Cherre, you know what to do! Keep the fire from spreading! Just… be careful! he called out, watching as the Fire-type charged forward in a Flame Charge attack—at the same time, blasting a Water Pulse at the incoming Cyndaquil; hoping to be able to deter the Fire-type from slamming into the other. As the other rebounded back, the Squirtle swept in with a point-blank Hydro Pump to the face, extinguishing the flames and causing the Fire-type to pass out.

“Well… at least we got that done, right?” he said with a chuckle, dropping the third of his four Safari Balls on the unconscious Cyndaquil, watching as it was sucked into the Pokéball’s depths.

Thankfully the Cyndaquil went along without further argument, and Alexei approached to pick up the now-occupied Safari Ball. It wasn’t too long before the Squirtle called his attention—to an incoming blur, but the PokéGear didn’t go off.

“Well, Cherre, you know what to do,” he said, shrinking down the Cyndaquil’s Pokéball and dropped it down his pocket, before hearing a loud screeching noise coming from the Mankey as it engaged to attack the Water-type.

Met to the face with a full-blast Hydro Pump, the Mankey attempted to kick it in the face with a Low Kick—but was met with yet another Hydro Pump attack after the first one.

“Don’t take too long, we have to keep going and look for that one,” he said, moving to continue on into the undergrowth. As the Mankey attempted a Karate Chop attack, the Fighting-type was met with a sudden Water Pulse, before the Squirtle rebounded and retaliated with one last Hydro Pump, sending the Fighting-type into the trees.

“Come on, Cherre,” he whistled, before the Water-type followed him and both disappeared into the undergrowth.

do you hear the people screaming? Yeah, I DO!

Alexei wasn’t sure if there was something out to get him.

But whatever it was, it was proving to be extremely annoying. Just as he and the Squirtle cleared another area, they came within sight of… something else.

That wasn’t their intended target entirely.

“Oh, come on,” he grumbled under his breath, smacking a palm to his forehead and slowly dragging it down his face. Sure, he knew that the particular Pokémon he was looking for was rare, but to be this stupid rare? What were the fucking odds?

“This is ridiculous…” he said to nobody in particular, hoping that Cherre wasn’t paying attention. “No, Cherre. Don’t attack it. You’re not going to make it out of that encounter… pretty sure of that. You don’t have anything that can push back a part-Dragon Fire-type now, do you?” he said in the Water-type’s direction; who was raring for some action.

“Let’s just keep looking…” he continued, biting his lip. How much time did he have left, anyway? Enough? Or would he luck out and be forced to turn back before his trip prematurely ended? He looked down and saw that his Squirtle had a frown on her face, and he sighed softly.

“I know, Cherre. Now, if we could just find the one damned thing we’re looking for, we’ll be done of this place. Done, and out,” he added softly, crouching down and giving the Water-type another pat on the head.

“I don’t know how stressed you must be for me, but… thank you for being so incredibly patient with me, hm? Just a little longer. I swear…
