dominic returns to the lake once more, uncertain that coming back would actually change the selection. it didn't; peering through at him he sees the familiar yellow fin and round head.

the pokemon sends him a TEARFUL LOOK and dominic freezes in his steps and backs away only because he didn't want to prompt some loud wailing that would probably attract other patrons of the safari zone.

skipping!

it's by a stroke of luck that the next pokemon dominic encounters is one he's actually interested in. he may have already caught a handful of these but the way they flicker in and out of the shadows is a promise of a strong, useful pokemon.

the honchkrow looks intent on attacking this pokemon too, but dominic calls it off with a whistle. he tosses the last safari-issued capsule at the dreepy and begins to make his way to the exit.
