how long HAS it been since he last went in here, the fuck. lol

Honestly, Lars couldn’t remember the last time he was in the Safari.

This time, due to seeing that there was a Larvitar among the selection, he knew he had to pay the place a visit once again.

His surprise was profound the moment he’d arrived in the place—since when was the building new, shiny, and smelled of paint? Even the plants decorating the area didn’t look like the same ones he saw the last time he was here!

Anyway…

“So uh, here you go,” he muttered quietly as he handed over the ticket, before being rolled four Safari Balls in exchange. Once he was through the body check, it was out the gate and into the wild ‘green’ yonder.

Now, two of the four he was keeping personally, so he had two extra to waste. Well, probably not waste, as he’d heard there were some League members who were looking for specific Pokémon but couldn’t afford to go to the place yet.

Okay, so Larvitar and Turtwig for me… I remember someone mentioned a Spritzee, and what was the last one again? Crap, have to check! He thought as he idled for a bit not too far from the entrance, poking at his PokéGear and checking what Pokémon were in hot demand at the moment.

Catching!

It didn’t take too long for him to take mental notes of the Pokémon that some of the newer League members were looking for—he was going to try and get some of them as a surprise and just leave it in their name.

What, couldn’t the cynical man be nice every once in a while?

He’d been so absorbed with walking around the place he’d very nearly gotten clobbered by a Superpower attack had he not looked up in time to see a bunch of rocks literally headed his way! With bare moments to spare, he dodges out of the way and sees the culprit—a Turtwig, whose body is glowing in a bright aura as it hefts up a rock many times larger than itself and uses the same move again.

Okay, this one’s pretty feisty. I’ll take him! He thought, quickly plucking out a Moon Ball and sending out Alpha. Watching as the Lucario landed on the ground, the Turtwig then turned to face the other Pokémon before attempting to take a big biting move out of it with Crunch.

Thankfully, Alpha was faster, darting out of the way with the speed of a Quick Attack. A few moments later, the Grass-type attempts to seed the dual-type with a Leech Seed attack, but the Lucario is faster, cutting through the pelted projectiles and using a Copycat attack, returning the projectiles like they were his own.

Angered, the Grass-type attempts to use another Superpower attack, but the Lucario thinks quicker on his feet, and braces himself with a Counter, tanking the force of the attack before returning the large rock in the Turtwig’s direction. The two continue to trade blows for a few more moments, before an Aura Sphere ends the Grass-type’s assault, caught in the powerful burst of auric energy and forcing the other down.

“You really needed that, huh,” Lars says in the Lucario’s direction, smirking as he throws the first of the four Safari Balls he has.

Catching!

Thankfully the Turtwig had gone into the Safari ball without a hitch, but now there was something else headed his way. It… it was the most unassuming little thing, and it even had little heart-shaped appendages—how cute.

But for some weird reason, his instincts were screaming ‘dangerous’ for something so innocently cute. He wondered what that was such. Deciding to face that nagging feeling inside himself, he raises his PokéGear and points it at the Drifloon—and his suspicions are confirmed a few moments later.

“Gee… you can actually kidnap children? How? But you’re so small—“ he says to the Drifloon, who floats over to where the Lucario is. The jackal Pokémon watches it intently, wondering what it wants—and then from out of nowhere, the little dual-type spits out a Shadow Ball right in the Lucario’s face!

“The fuck?!” was all he could say a few moments later as Alpha barely had enough room to dodge, instead opting to bend over so far back it was ridiculous. Seeing that this wasn’t going to be easy, he whistles in the Lucario’s direction, before making a gesture to move aside as he steps backward and then releases Ro.

The red beam of light unfurls the giant, hulking monster before the Drifloon aims a barrage of Shadow Ball attacks at it—quickly deflected by the Metagross’ Telekinesis. Watching as several projectiles shoot off and rocket away in multiple directions, Lars then waves his hand at Ro’s direction—basically, the signal to do whatever he wanted.

Now that he was given the freedom to go ham, the Metagross continues to block the incoming projectiles with Telekinesis, rocketing them off deeper into the undergrowth, before finding an opening and blasting one of the biggest Psychic attacks Lars had ever witnessed the great hulking blue beast throw at the Pokémon.

“Yikes,” he adds a few moments later as the Psychic hits the Drifloon right in the face, before a second and a third application of the same attack follow it not too far behind. Eventually, the dual-type crashes to the ground, and Lars throws the second Safari Ball at it…

Pass.

The Safari Ball wiggled once, twice—on the third try, it fell still, and Lars does a double-take.

At least he was able to keep the world safer from one more Drifloon trying to kidnap children!

Then again, the Pokédex entries are a little bombastic, if not outright bonkers… he mused as he looked at his PokéGear to check the typing—and let out a little snort. What, seriously? The dinky, cute little ghost-thing was also a Flying-type?

Who knew?

Grinning, he then picks up the second Safari Ball and begins to wander inward, passing by the undergrowth and accidentally coming upon a pond hidden in a hamlet. Wait, wasn’t there a Water-type on the roster? Unfortunately it wasn’t the kind of Water-type that he was looking for, much less care about.

Besides, Clamperl were incredibly… how was he going to put this? Useless? Weak? Unreliable?

He could only sigh as he skirted around the hamlet where he’d spotted a bunch of them sunning themselves in the weak sunlight that dappled down into the grove, warming the water considerably.

Now, where the hell do I look next? He mused to himself, looking around as he tried to pick out a place where to go to. He hadn’t been in the Safari in forever, so he was bound to eventually get lost…

holy shit a shiny! Catching!

After he’d left the little hamlet behind, he continues his trek inward. He doesn’t know what to expect, since he’s on the hunt for something very particular—and it isn’t until something sparkling that catches his eye does he look up. Wait a second, what—?!

He thought he saw a Swablu, but there was a noticeable difference—instead of it being the normal blue body, it was…yellow?!

Holy shit, is that what I think it is?! He thinks, before looking over at where Alpha is trailing him—and both he and the Lucario then begin to give chase to the sparkling creature. It doesn’t take long for them to catch up and watch as it alighted on a branch, poking at its cloudy feathers.

“Alpha, no,” he says a few moments later, watching as the Swablu continues to clean its feathers. “We’re not going to fight this one—I believe we can get it by other means,” and with that he reaches into one of his coat pockets. Ever since his encounter with Bryony, he’d always kept a pouch of Berries on him. Pulling the drawstring open, he then looks inside and sees that there’s a jumble of Berries, before pulling out an Oran Berry.

“Hey. Hey,” he whistles to the Swablu, who then looks up and lets out a frightened chirp at the sight of the spiky-haired human.

“Hey, don’t be afraid—I have this for you,” and with that he holds out the hand that has the Oran Berry in it.

“I won’t do anything to you, I swear—Alph, care to help me out here? he asks the Lucario, and the dual-type nods. After some silent communication between the two Pokémon, the weirdly-colored Swablu then alights on his hand and begins poking at the Oran Berry. He can feel the feather-light weight of the Flying-type settle on his palm, but there’s no time to react as the Berry is swallowed whole in moments.

Dang, that was fast.

A chirping noise catches his attention a few moments later. “You want another one?” he asks, and getting another confirmatory chirp, a second Oran Berry is produced to be consumed.

This goes on for about five Oran Berries, before the little one curls up in his hand and literally falls asleep, having eaten its fill.

“So…you think it was hungry?” he asks Alpha, who nods.

“Well, as long as we didn’t fight this one. Would be a shame if we did,” he continues as he keeps the pouch with some difficulty, before pulling out the third of his Safari Balls and poking it lightly on the sleeping Swablu’s form.

YES PLS catching the angery bb

Once the Safari Ball had sucked in the Swablu, it only shook once before falling still.

“Huh, really? That quickly?” he muses, and the Lucario points some distance away, before letting out a bit of a snarl. Looking up, he sees that they’re not alone—and then the ground suddenly trembles. “Alpha, move!” he shouts at the dual-type as an approaching Larvitar made the ground quake and tremble with a powerful Earthquake.

Jumping up as quickly as he could manage, Lars braced himself as the ground quaked and trembled.

How could something so small have such power?!

The Larvitar, not amused at what he was witnessing, then launched a Rock Slide around the area.

“What the hell!” he exclaimed, quickly barrel-rolling out of the way, hoping that the rocks would stop falling. “Alpha! Try to stop the attacks!” he shouted in the general direction of wherever the Lucario was. Another Rock Slide began to rain down around the area, but this time there was an Aura Sphere aimed from somewhere, smashing into some of the rocks that were about to fall close to where Lars stood.

“Thanks, Alph!” he shouted as he finally made it near a tree and began to climb it. “Geez, what a disaster. Alph, show it what you’re capable of!” he added a few moments as the Lucario rushed forward, launching a Copycat at the same time the Larvitar made the effort to take a Crunching snap at the dual-type.

Due to the Copycat, the Lucario had managed to use Crunch before the Larvitar did, and both met in a swathe of slavering, snapping fangs trying to bite the other. “Careful!” he called out from his position in the tree, waiting until the coast was clear to come down.

The two exchanged a few more blows, and after a well-timed Counter that chained into a one-two Force Palm strike, the Larvitar was down for the count.

“He’s very dangerous, yeesh…” he says presently, climbing back down the tree and throwing the last of the Safari Balls he has at the passed-out Larvitar.
