Chapter 153 - 18 - Pokémon Safari Zone

Their excitement and enthusiasm awaits as they arrive at the Pokémon Safari Zone, which is located at the forested area of the plateau. they were greeted by the main gate building that ȧssists people who wanted to try to catch any Pokémon that resides in the Safari Zone's habitat. And upon entering the entrance, not much people was in that Safari Zone, as if it was not that busy. People are at the counters asking the stuff for Safari Balls so they could catch any Pokémon, if they have luck. The group then stopped halfway between the entrance and the counters, they are amazed by the clean and decent look on the interior. They then snapped out, and proceeded to the counters with one goal in mind: Try to catch any Pokémon. And upon greeting a staff member, that staff member greeted them in in response and welcomed them into the Safari, asking them how she can help them.

"We are here to catch any Pokémon in the Safari," Jonathan responded positively with a request.

"Okay, that'll be 500 Pokédollars for each person," the staff member positively replied back. Jonathan then opened his wallet, get 1,500 Pokédollars in cash, and gave it to the staff member.

"Thank you, so three of you, right?" the staff member responded back as she received the money. In response, Rico nodded to say yes. After Rico's response, the staff member went on putting the cash in the cash register, before providing the three with 30 Poké Balls each and explaining them the rules within the Safari Zone, including some important ones. And after the staff member finished explaining the rules, the three nodded in agreement, promising not to break any of these rules. Seeing that the group abided to Safari Zone's rules, the staff member let them in and told them to enjoy the safari.

"Thank you, ma'am," Rico thanked the staff member positively and politely, before he and the others went into the exit that leads them to the actual safari.

And stepping on the cobblestone path, they saw the wonders of the safari habitats, especially the Pokémon it had. Then, breathing in the cool, fresh air, Isaiah and Rico are enthusiastically excited to try catching any Pokémon, while Jonathan stretch his arms a bit and his Pokémon are with him embracing the natural environment of the safari habitats. And now, while walking down the cobblestone path, they suddenly saw two Kricketots playing around the grassy area. They were amazed by their appearance and cuteness, before moving on to other areas of the Safari Zone. Not long after, they spotted an Axew eating berries. Rico was amazed, and excited to catch it, so he grabbed one of his Safari Balls and threw it towards Axew, causing the Safari Ball to open itself and catch Axew, before falling to the ground and trying to keep it in it. The Trainers waited, but unfortunately, Axew managed to escape out of the Safari Ball and fled the scene, causing Rico to be disappointed. Later on, Isaiah tried to catch an Ice-type at a snowy biome of the Safari Zone, but just like Rico, he was unlucky as well. Jonathan tried to catch a Ducklett, and he was successful in catching it. But, this causes disappointment to his younger brother Rico and his friend Isaiah. Luckily, Jonathan told them that it depends on luck, and this encourages them not to give up.
