Cass watches as her other pokémon get settled on Verona as well, before the golem starts walking onward. It doesn't take long until they theoretically had their first safari encounter - if Cass would have seen the Gligar. However, as things were, it completely escapes her vision, as her eyes stay fixed on the horizon line a bit more towards the sky, and not the ground below.

Cass might not notice the Gligar, but she does notice the Baltoy, even if it's fairly small and unremarkable in the safari landscape. Immediately, she taps Verona's ancient stone, urging her, "Actually, hey, let's turn around- I think I saw a Minior in that direction!" The Golurk is nothing but compliant, and readily follows Cass' new order as the trainer itself squints at the small dot of a Baltoy ... yeah, she'd rather not. Risk anything ...

Unfortunately, it's not a Minior - but a Horsea this time around again. "I think there's a pattern ... or my luck is really weird," Cass ponders, trying to juggle with the safariball while thinking if she should go for it ... but the decision is taken out of her hands as she drops the safariball. However, it doesn't only land on the ground - in an attempt to catch it, Jon only manages to launch it away further, and it's only tossed again by Martin who tries the very same.

Until it hits an unassuming Horsea.

After the unintentional capture, Cass puts the safariball away and goes to make some notes in her phone ... and surely enough, her next prediction also holds true - a Minior appears! However, it almost floats away already. She hastily taps Verona to make chase, but the Golurk is unfortunately on the slower side ... unlike her Charcadet Del. Del's already in a sprint, chasing after the Minior.

"Don't hurt it!" Cass screams, which stops Del just in time from using an attack - and simply latches onto the confused Minior to slow down its flight. Quickly, Cass throws the safariball in the middle of this chaos - man, she really could do with some less acrobatic captures!

For once, the Trapinch doesn't try to bite through Verona's leg - it's, in fact, stuck in another giant rock that it has buried his teeth into. "Uhm, sire, are you alright?" Cass asks, a bit sceptical, and the Trapinch actually seems to be a bit in distress. "I ... don't know if I can help you except one way, so if you pardon me ... feel free to stay, haha, but you can also leave again-" she continues to ramble on, slightly fascinated how the Trapinch managed to get in there, and throws a safariball to get it at least out of the predicament.

The Trapinch, indeed, makes himself comfortable in the safariball, and Cass continues onto her journey. She's aware that this time might run out again, soon, but hey, enough time to see ... If she remembers correctly, the last time, she might've seen ... "Popplio." His striking voice is hard to mistake for anything else, and she smiles as she listens for a while.

However, as the Warden calls her back, she also hastily throws a ball to capture the Popplio, to spend her final safariball on this trip as well.
