Before Alec started setting out even further into the Safari zone, he brought out his female Aggron, Ishi. She was a recent addition to the multitude of pokemon he had. In fact, he had another Aggron just like it, with the exception of it being a male. "Now, before we run into any pokemon, don't try and wreck the place. If we end up destroying the habitat, the warden will kick us out of there. I guess what I'm tryna say is, don't go overboard when attacking. In fact, attack only if the wild pokemon attack us, okay?" Alec said to his Aggron that walked beside him, giving her master a nod.

Alec may have seemed alert while he spoke, but that was far from the truth, especially when he felt something at his feet that he had accidentally kicked. Alec blinked at the ball, obviously recognizing it not as that, but as pokemon. a Voltorb in fact but ... it looked ... different? Was the bottom half of its body wooden? Before Alec could get a closer look, the peculiar-looking voltorb started to glow. "Oh shi-" a massive Boom! sounded throughout the Safari. Luckily, Ishi the Aggron put up a PROTECT barrier, shielding both her and Alec from the EXPLOSION. Alec, despite having been protected, was obviously shocked, looking as if he shit his pants out of fright. "WHAT THE HELL!?" Alec then yelled, his emotions turning from fear into anger.

Did the Safari Warden know how dangerous these things were!? He pretty much made his Safari Zone a bomb site! Was the old man crazy!? Alec sighed, seeing that the voltorb used too much energy, having exhausted itself from the explosion. Honestly, Alec thought it was lucky that the thing was even still alive. Alec tossed a safari ball at it, not seeing the point in having Aggron hurt the thing anymore than it did itself. Once the Safari clicked after shaking weakly a few times, Alec picked it up and kept moving further into the Safari with his female Aggron right beside him.

Alec and Ishi the Aggron continued further into the Safari zone, spotting a Phanphy. Alec had pondered for a moment, debating or not on whether he should catch one or let it go, but before he could fully decide, it had caught notice of him and the Aggron. Despite its tiny size, it seemed pretty determined to try and take out Ishi, gunning for it with a ROLLOUT. Alec just stood there and watched with a slight deadpan expression as Ishi just simply put her tail out in front of her, not even using a fraction of her strength to put a stop to its attack, having instantly worn it out.

Despite its seemingly ... humiliating effort, Alec had to at least give an A for effort. So, he tossed one of his Safari balls at the tuckered out phanpy, waiting for the ball to click before retrieving it.

As Alec and his aggron continued further into the safari, the dragon tamer spotted a tirtouga, bathing in the small pond nearby. Alec was tempted, but he already owned a Tirtouga. "I should probably train him soon," Alec thought to himself. With his new gym not being focused on his dragons anymore, it gave him the opportunity for all of his pokemon to shine.

That being said though, there were some of his pokemon that weren't fit for battle, or at least ... not yet. Some of them, like his Galarian Ponyta, actually didn't like battling. Etain considered himself a lover rather than a fighter, but Alec liked that about Etain. He was gentler than most of the pokemon he owned, and if it didn't like battling, then he wasn't gonna force it to do something it didn't enjoy. Alec and his aggron left the wild tirtouga to its bath, deciding to move on.

Alec and his aggron continued to press onward through the safari, still not seeing any signs of that paldean pokemon that he heard so much about yet. However, he came across a bunch of Applin, rooted into the branches of trees. Aggron had attempted to pick one up from the tree, however, Alec stopped her. "Don't worry about them. Let's just keep moving," Alec said. Ishi huffed, however, she reluctantly followed Alec's orders.

Alec noticed the sun starting to set, worried that he may not be able to catch that paldean pokemon. However, he was still determined to catch it. Besides, Ishi seemed fine continuing. As the dragon tamer and his aggron continued down the path, he spotted a galarian ponyta. It noticed them, however, due to its height compared to Ishi's it looked kind of scared. Ishi was about to attack, but Alec stopped her once again like before with the Applin.

Alec pulled out a carrot, somewhat slowly holding it out toward the pontya. It was hesitant, however, it eventually came around to accepting the treat in Alec's hand rather than running away. Alec 'hmmed' debating on whether or not to catch it. "It'd be a great thing, considering Etain would have a friend to play with every now and again. I could also try and train this one to battle," Alec thought, taking that into consideration as well. After making his decision, Alec gently tossed a safari ball at the galarian ponyta.

Just as alec had captured the Galarian Ponyta, an unfamiliar one appeared shortly after. It looked like a crocodile, a baby-sized one at that, with a red-colored body. This must be that paldean pokemon I've been hearing so much about. I thought I'd never find one," Alec said as the small thing fired a ball of flame at him, tryna incinerate Alec right then and there, however, Ishi stepped in, tanking the attack, only to fire a METAL BURST at it.

Alec sighed, not liking the fact that Ishi had used that kind of force on the small red crocodile, but at least it was weakened enough for Alec to toss his last safari ball at it. As Alec waited for the ball he began to chastise Ishi for using too much unnecessary force. Hopefully though, the Safari warden wouldn't be too upset at this. Besides, he was lucky that her attack didn't cause too much damage to the area ...
