The shadow houndoom barred her teeth, dark gaze on the ghostly figure that materialized before them. Maverick was quick to halt the aggressive shadow pokemon, reaching into his pocket and tossing a sphere at the yamask. The ball hit, sucking the pokemon in the locking in place. Despite the pokemon being safely in the sphere, the canine still seemed on edge. Maverick sighed, why are shadow pokemon so…. Edgy all the time.

As soon as the click and chime of a successful capture, the brunt scarred man was swift to pluck it off the ground and shive the sphere into his jacket. The shadow houndoom emitted a series of unpleased grumbles, long arrow tipped tail flickered like an angry cat. “Really,” the man growled at her, rolling his eyes before moving past her, “Come on. Let’s keep moving.” She grumbled again.[break][break]

It didn’t take long for them to come across another safari pokemon, gaze lifted to the familiar sounds of squeaking of bats. To no surprise at all, a zubat has spotted them and now lingered close to investigate them. Vakare lifted her lips, baring her pearly whites at the wild pokemon. “Easy,” the man mumbled to her, knowing darn well that her fiery temper could get the best of her he he let it, “Just leave it. It’s just curious about us.” The shadow pokemon snarled, long tail twitching feverishly back and forth. “Let’s go.”

Moving further into the safari zone, crimson colored orbs searched for his target. And as he moved through the tall grass, a familiar cry rang out. Gaze fell upon the wild murkrow, silently admiring the avian as it flew over head. Wasn’t a Crow a sign of a curse or something?[break][break]

Either way, it didn’t matter. The bird flew right pass them, only the shadow houndoom was the one that gave off a snarl. “Leave it,” the burnt scarred man grumbled, motioning with a nod to keep moving, “We don’t have all the time in the world.” The canine grumbled, following after her human while still keeping an eye out.

The pair kept pressing forward, searching for that rare pokemon in the safari zone. It didn’t take long to bump into the next pokemon, the creepy bug pokemon slowly dropping down from a near by tree branch to investigate them. The dang thing looked strange, like some kind of mummified bug in one of the demonic supernatural movie or something. The shadow houndoom however, didn’t like its presence.[break][break]

Lips pulled back, baring her feet at this bug. It didn’t seem to mind them, only continued to watch them as they got closer. And upon closer inspection, the brunt scarred man noted that it was a pokemon he never seen before. How interesting. Reaching into his pocket, the man tossed an empty sphere at the creature. Aim true, the ball trapped the creature and fell to the ground with a soft thud. It wiggled, Maverick waiting for its chime before moving on.

It was only when the capture was successful did Maverick moved on. Warm crimson colored orbs flickered to the clouds, noting that they had that impending winter blues coming soon. A heavy sigh escaped him, only to have his attention redirected when a dark growl hit his eardrums.[break][break]

His gaze fell upon a wild deino, it stood there just looking at them. Vakare snarled at it, her muzzle slowly starting to let embers seep from between her jaws. The ex gym leader was quick to correct her, casting the shadow pokemon to bare her teeth at him. Of course, Mac glared at the pokemon unwilling to back down. And after a minute or two, she stepped down. Yet another, Maverick tossed another empty sphere at the creature. Being blind, the ball hit it with no issue and sucked it in. Dark types always held a special place in his heart. How could he not catch it?

Several hours had passed since their last encounter with a wild pokemon, leaving Maverick bored out of his mind and his shadow houndoom on high alert. In fact, the burnt scarred man was so bored that he decided to sit on a large rock and chill for a moment. Pulling out his phone, he began to flip through messages. Like always, only messages for jobs or mission he needs to do.[break][break]

It wasn’t until his canine began to growl did the man look up from his phone, casting the shadow pokemon an annoyed look. She bared her teeth at him, causing the man to narrow his eyes at her. It was only when she bark at him did he hear something in his ear. Turning his head, something shifted on his shoulder and made a lose change sound. “What the-“[break][break]

The creature leaped off of Maverick shoulder, attempting to scurry away. “Shi-“ Maverick scrambled, reaching into his jacket to pluck out the last remaining sphere. This was the pokemon he wanted! Valare leaped out in front of the wild pokemon, forcing the creature to freeze at the sight of her. And in the moment of hesitation, the ex gym leader tossed the ball at the tiny coin creature. The ball (somehow) hit the creature despite its tiny body, drawling the creature in and locking in place. Maverick let out a sigh of relief, watching as the ball wiggled in the grass. That was close. He almost lost it.
