The first safari ball came back to the ground like an apple from the tree. Ugh. She threw another safari ball, and it disappeared into the trees. Unfortunately, it had the same fate as the first one. Things followed suit for the third one. 

"GraaaaaaaaaaaaaHhhhH! Just get in the stupid ball!" June chucked the last safari ball into the earth. It bounced against the grass, then rolled off a few more meters. Her breathing spiked, and tears sprung into the corners of her eyes. Just don't remember. Forget. Forget. They'll be found. Someone will find them. They aren't gone. annalise henderson and Grigori Sokolov would be fine. 

A Fletchling landed on her shoulder and craned its neck. She spared it a glance as it stared at her in worry.

Catch attempt on Fletchling, 3/4 Safari balls remaining

Find Fletchling, catch Fletchling. Find Varoom, catch Varoom. Find Fletchling, catch Fletchling. Find Varoom, catch Varoom. Find Fletchling, catch Mienfoo. Find Varoom, catch--

Huh?

When June stopped dead in her tracks, a puff of dirt following her predicted path, it was in front of yet another small 'child'. This one didn't seem nearly as aggressive as the last few. It stood in front of her, calm and collected. It blocked her path, but in the least obtrusive way possible. Maybe if she walked around, it'd let her go?

No such luck. A small, furry arm bumped into her leg when she tried. She slammed a Safari ball into the middle of its forehead. "Leave me alone."

[attr="class","wildnote"] 2/4 SAFARI BALLS REMAINING!

YOUR CAPTURE ATTEMPT WAS SUCCESSFUL!

The Varoom drove circles around her. This one either didn't fear her, wanted to cheer her up, or otherwise had a screw loose inside its head. On any other day, she'd cheer it on, or throw out her own Varoom to join in, or generally like the display. Right now, though, its driving grates on her ears and sends her up the wall. The second-to-last safari ball missed by a solid meter and rolled away.

"Just... stop! Stop it!"

It took several seconds for physics to comply with the Varoom's desires. It skidded to a halt eventually, on the left of June. It looked up to her afraid yet curious. Why stop? Why not enjoy its constant motion?

"I just... just get in the ball," she didn't miss the second time.
