Continuing on the path, a clearing of trees was marked by an intricately sculpted recreation of Stonehenge; that one curious yet unexplained structure across the world, which was theorized to have once been used as a portal between worlds. Or maybe he just read that in a fantasy novel. Beginning to work on a design that depicted such colossal stones, the way it had begun to move was distracting from how simple it should have been to draw. But then he realized that stones such as these were not meant to move, they were wild pokemon.[break][break]

It wasn't reassuring to think of what it would be like to be stepped on by such a Stonjourner, the ground rumbling with each step the group took. But they appeared as gentle creatures of antique debris, bedrock cloaking their bottom halves. "Intriguing, you are." Aloe said softly, looking up at the closest one's eyes. He threw one of his safari balls at the pokemon, influenced by the thought of riding on its back on a gentle walk in the mountains and a wish not to have his bones crumble under its stomp.

Slipping the orb of his new companion into his tote bag, Aloe wondered just how lucky he was that he was not snapped into a billion little pieces by a step of a Stonjourner in the wrong direction. The creature could serve as a brute force of sorts, despite its docile and kind demeanor; and the Marowak twirled its bones of fire at the thought, nefarious. If only the tattoo artist were able to look at the magnificent wisps flashing in his peripheral, already aware of the anguish it was said to bestow on the mind.[break][break]

There were a few baby versions of his familiar bodyguard- Relic, his Claydol. Though he was quite tempted to bring home a friend for the one with many eyes, the balls he had been given were limited in amount. It was said there was a bug that looked like an ice cream cone, and another that created balls of mud, so he resisted the temptation. Sending it off with a wave, the one nearest to him floated to join the rest of its flock.

Across a bridge and onto another sector of the safari zone, Aloe continued to work on the sketches of his ancient-inspired tattoos. But he wanted to see how his artist companion would be able to put a spin on things; releasing his Smeargle from the orb previously containing it, the painter pokemon looked around at all the relics of time with awe. It was not easy for it to tell that they were simply hyper-realistic renditions of what truly existed, but it was inspired nevertheless.[break][break]

Looking at a dilapidated castle structure, almost like a buried tower, Smeargle began to paint on the stone projecting outward into the forest clearing. Out there it spotted a wild Sigilyph floating around, fluffing its.. feathers? Regardless, it tried to encapsulate the brilliant feat of its ROOST, committing the technique to memory. And in turn, Aloe sketched the sketch on his tablet, willing to turn it into a tattoo with much more detail.

The painting of the Smeargle could perhaps be a marker for any curious safari attendee, allowing them to know that this was the place to go for that monstrosity of a pokemon. It wasn't harmful to be unintentionally helpful in the mundane, off-the-clock facets of life, even if he was the one to benefit the most from the situation. Life was just like that, though with his recent joining of Team Rocket, more and more was becoming interwoven in his occupational relations.[break][break]

Looking through the bushes after spotting a plume of fire emerge momentarily, he was able to spot an occupied Larvesta, munching on some forest greens. "I see the ice cream vibes, hella." He said softly to himself, throwing a safari ball in an attempt to catch it before it could recognize his presence. If anything, he was expecting a pokemon with the characteristics of an Ariados. Oh well, the moth larva was certainly cute with its quirks.

Aloe released the Larvesta from the pokeball as soon as it was a successful catch, picking it up and placing it in between his arms for the remainder of the safari trip. He'd got enough linework done to take a well-deserved break, and bonding with the ice cream bug was certainly on his to-do list; but it seemed to not be fond of being picked up, wiggling around and coughing up little clouds of smoke in an attempt to let it down. Doing so quickly, it soon began to trot with the other two pokemon that walked beside him, infatuated with the chaotic blue flames.[break][break]

An ancient-looking fish was swimming in a pond, one that he'd never had the chance to see before. Though it did look quite fascinating with its rugged jaw of what appeared to be stones, all he had was one safari ball left, ready to catch another bug friend for the Larvesta. And he'd certainly remember its looks and the strange red dot on its side, absolutely making a design based around it for his flash sale.

Continuing on the path to the final sector, it was almost instantaneous that he saw the ball of mud rolling across the dirt path, allowing him to curiously sulk down onto his knees. Behind the ball of earth was none other than a strange-looking bug held upside down from its legs, with what appeared to be a maze design on its back; it was quite cute, accruing more fragments of the antique debris in its big ball. The Larvesta beside Aloe trilled at the sight but still maintained the distance between the two, unwilling to provoke.[break][break]

But the Rellor was just a cute lil' guy, hanging out and working on its ball. "Like that ball, man. I've got a ball that looks kinda like it," he smiled, pulling his final safari ball out from his pocket, ".. is your ball gonna go inside of the ball when I catch you? Like, ball inception?" Clicking the ball against the ball, his theory was proven to be true, having retained both the pokemon and its mud. Soon, his mind began to spiral into the depths of an oddity; just what if the mud ball was filled with smaller balls of mud, having already created the inception of ball? That would be so many balls, rolling forever like heads in ancient times. But that was all so trivial, he just hoped the wild bug had no qualms with being put inside of a ball with its ball of mud.
