It didn't take too long for him to stumble upon something blue. While he was not familiar with most Pokémon from Kalos, he had an odd feeling about this one... like a certain Trainer he knew would appreciate them very much.

Taking out his phone, he snapped a quick picture before sending it to one Ruby Walker, wondering if the young lady had time to head out to the Safari to look for them. Under the picture was a message, "Saw these in the Safari. I recommend you heading over if you have time and money to spare," before sending it off.

Once done, he stared back at the Meowstic. While he did not know the species' name, all he had to say was this:

"I know someone who would be interested in you. Wait for them. She's a pink-haired young lady with glasses."

He then continued deeper into the Safari, wondering if he could find what he was looking for.

After he left the strange-looking Pokémon behind, Alexei continued his travail through the Safari Zone. He was pretty certain that there was mass mayhem and pandemonium breaking out due to the Eevee sightings, and he wasn't going to deny that.

He wondered if he would be able to find something.

There was a flash of pink, before a Chansey waddled up to him. While it was one of the several he was looking for, he had to steel himself, because he was a man on a mission.

He was surprised when the wandering Chansey gave him an egg to share. He could only guess how to use it, so he looked at the pink Pokémon in silent wonder.

But the Chansey was already gone.

Maybe he was meant to share this egg with something else? It smelled pretty fragrant and looked like it was a shame to eat...

This time, it was like he encountered a reversed photograph.

“Hey, weren’t you the one I saw—“ he began, before noticing that the tail of this one was tuftier than the other one that had a shaggy tail. Plus the color scheme was in reverse. Although for some reason he could pick up on a bristling aura, he decided not to pursue it.

Quickly taking his phone out, he snaps another picture for Ruby Walker and sends it to her, this time adding the message, ‘I think there’s like two of them out here. You should really come and find them!’ before sending it to the young lady who he had sent a picture earlier.

Sighing, he then bows in the direction of the white-colored Meowstic, before continuing, “Well. Just like the other one I met earlier, there’s a young lady you should look out for. Pink-haired, wears glasses. You should find the other one of you I saw earlier. Blue fellow. Go on, wait for her to arrive…”

With those words, Alexei skirts around the Meowstic and continues walking. He doesn’t know if he’ll be able to find one of them, much less four, but he’s willing to stay inside as long as it takes.

Even if he sees all the other Pokémon, it’s that particular one he’s after.

Hopefully he would have enough time to return for a second round…

It's the smell of the egg that draws out the flash of dark brown. Hoping he's not seeing things, Alexei then decided to crouch down where he had come to a stop, some several meters away from where the white-colored Meowstic had disappeared off to.

He's madly hoping that whatever the flash of brown is, that it would be the one he's looking for! Would luck shine down on him today.

Apparently so.

It didn't take too long for an Eevee to poke its head out of the bush, drawn by the scent of the Chansey egg that he was carrying with him. His eyes widened at the sight of the lupine Pokémon, hoping this one would come along with him!

He offered, holding out his hand that had the Chansey egg in it. He was not sure if the Eevee was hungry, but to help the cause he held out his other hand. It was empty.

"See? Nothing to hide. Just the egg. Go on, have some," he encouraged the Eevee, eyes never leaving the figure as he watched it slowly approach. Who knew they were skittish?! After what felt like an eternity, the Eevee was close enough and nibbling from the Chansey egg in his hand.

"Slow down a bit there," he added with a laugh. "Leave some for the rest, okay?"

He was hoping there would be more Chansey eggs to share with any other Eevees that would hopefully come by. Once the egg was gone, he blinked at the Pokémon, who had since then approached him and was now sniffing his sneakers curiously.

"Want more eggs?" He asked, hoping this was the right question.

He gets a contented chirping noise in reply.

"Follow me?"

Another happy noise.

Once the Eevee agrees to be confined within the Safari Ball, the search continues. Alexei doesn't know how long he's going to be in the Safari Zone; all he is certain of is that he is determined to leave this trip with four Eevees, because he has plans.

The fluttering noise has him look up, and a look of recognition flashes across his face for the briefest of moments. The thing about this is that he already has a Swoobat, and boy was that particular Pokémon of his a jealous one. So jealous it could set a place on fire with its temperament.

Chuckling to himself, he ducks his head and continues onward; deeper into the Safari Zone.

Would he be going far today?

He was certain of it.

Alexei wasn’t exactly watching where he was going, and therefore very nearly stepped on the next Pokémon had he not heard a loud screeching noise coming from the ground. Startled out of his reverie, he looked around—where was the thing that was trying to call his attention?

The same incessant screeching noise came from near his feet. All he could see were scattered leaves and the remains of winter, before he thought he saw something that looked like… wait a second, were those eyes staring back at him?!

Blinking a few moments, he then saw an apple—or what he thought was an apple—suddenly hop around and make that same unearthly screaming noise.

“Oh,” was all he had to say, dumbfounded. How come this Pokémon looked like an edible fruit? Was it one of those new species?

He really couldn’t tell. With that, he stepped over where the weird Pokémon was headed and continued on.
