As Marchbaby receivee a letter telling him he had won another trip to the Safari Zone he was beyond estatic. He loved his previous trip and had gotten quite a good haul of Pokemon. He never expected his last trip to go so well and he could hardly wait to set foot within the area again to see what he would run into next. After studying the map for a while he decided that the Desert would make for the best starting area for his adventure as the brochure mentioned a Pokemon there that he would love to capture. He walked up to the counter and handed the clerk the letter and seconds later the clerk handed him 25 Safari Balls as well as escorting him to a small shuttle that would drive him to the area he had selected.
Once he got off the shuttle it sped away leaving him in a dusty desert with few signs of life around. The young dragon apprentice had his work cut out for him as he knew his search would not be easy and as he was only allowed so many encounters luck would have to be on his side to get the Pokemon he was after. " Ah I can see why my target likes this area so much. Being so remote and dry is perfect for such a creature. There is little chance of encountering most Pokemon that could give it a hard time. I should be careful.though as some other Pokemon here might not be very friendly."
He then looked at a small sand dune up ahead and thought it would be the perfect place to look for his first target. Not only would it make a great home for a Pokemon but it might protect him on one side from all the sand blowing around without any sign of stopping. " Even a Salamence would hate all this sand. Maybe a Garchomp.would like it but I doubt any of those are living here. Sand or no sand I will not let this free trip go to waste." As he made his way to the top of a sand dune he could hear the cries of Pokemon nearby. He looked around for any sign of the Pokemon as he readied a Safari Ball. He knew the Pokemon here could run off on a moments notice and he wanted at least one chance to capture whatever was nearby.

The movement of the shuttle sent weak tremors through the sand and soon some of it move. A skorupi dug its way up through the sand to see what was going on.

The first Pokemon Marchbaby came across was a tough looking Skorupi. They were pretty tough to capture and their stinger could pack quite a punch to any trainer dumb enough to get too close. It was quite tempting to throw a rock as at full health it would be very hard to capture however Marchbaby did have decent luck the last time he only threw Safari Balls and not wanting to break tradition he grabbed one of the Safari Balls and took aim at the small Pokemon. Between it's small size, the sand blowing in his face, and Skorupi likely expecting him to throw a Safari Ball Marchbaby had little hope his plan would work.
" Hello there Skorupi, I know you are tough and will probably reject my offer but would you like to come along with me? I can make you even stronger if you do. I could certainly use the help of a strong Pokemon such as yourself." He then tossed the Safari Ball aiming at Skorupi's tail stinger and hoped for the best.

The Skorupi would immediately break free of the Safari Ball. Now on alert, it spun around on the tips of its feet and quickly scurried off through the desert sands. Away, it must run. Far, far away!

As the Skorupi ran off Marchbaby was not too discouraged as he knew the Pokemon in the Safari Zone were quite timid and would likely run the moment a capture failed. The good news was it was only his first encounter on this trip and he still had 9 more chances to find other Pokemon. " Maybe I will get lucky with the next one. No point worrying about something that cannot be helped. I am sure this desert has other Pokemon I can try and capture." He then continued to walk along a sand dune.
After a short walk he started to look around again hoping something else would pop out so he could try his luck again. He juat hoped the next Pokwmon would not run off quite as quickly as the last one.

Something moved along the sandy dunes of the desert. A howl sounded from far off in the distance. It wouldn't take long before the black canine would come walking out, only to freeze and stare Marchbaby down. It seemed like it was trying to decide if he was a threat or not.

As a Houndour appeared next Marchbaby was not quite sure how to act. He had captured a shiny Houndour the last time he was in the Safari and did not really need another one. In most other cases this would have been a great find but for Marchbaby it was not a Pokemon he was after anymore. " Hello there, I am sorry to bother you. In another time I may have tried to capture you but alas I do not need another Houndour and would hate to capture you just for the sake of doing so. I will leave you as you were." Marchbaby then ran from the hellhound until he was sure he was far enough away from it that it would not follow him.
Once he was far enough away he started to search for another Pokemon hoping his poor luck might finally turn around. He was glad his trip was only beginning as so far this trip had been a huge disappointment.

A bunch of cactuses would greet Marchbaby as he wandered alone in the desert. One of them blinked....or did they? When Marchbaby focused on the cactus, nothing would seem out of the ordinary. However, every time he looked away the cactus would seem to blink or move. Wait...was that?! It was!

As Marchbaby realized he was being visited by a Cacnea he was really intrigued by such an odd grass type Pokemon. Very few plants could survive in such a harsh environment and grass type Pokemon were even less likely to thrive in such an environment. Marchbaby already had a Cacnea however the one he had was a living plushie version and not the flesh and bone original. Though it was not vital for him to capture it Marchbaby decided to try and capture it as it was better than nothing at all. " Cacnea would you like to come along with me? I have a fellow Cacnea who might really like you." He said before tossing a Safari Ball hoping he would get lucky.

Cacnea popped back out of the Safari Ball nearly as soon as it had swallowed the small Pokemon up. It stood still and watched Marchbaby with a cautious eye...

Though his first attempt to capture Cacnea failed it did not run off unlike Skorupi. Marchbaby was happy the grass type stuck around as it meant he would get a second chance to capture Cacnea. " I really do admire your toughness to break out of that Safari Ball. I also am not ready to give up after a single failure however. A few Pokemon I have captured reconsidered their original rejection and I do hope this time you will come with me as I would love to take you on a journey and help you grow stronger." He then grabbed another Safari Ball and tossed it at the young grass type hoping he would have better luck this round.

Marchbaby was thrilled as his second attemot to capture Cacnea ended in success. Such a strong grass type might really help him in a future gym or challenge and he could never pass up a useful Pokemon. " Thank you very much for deciding to come along. I have a feeling we will get along great." He then thought of a good nickname for the Cacnea that would be fitting of such a spikey Pokemon. " I will call you Prickly, once this trip is over I do believe you will have a spot on my team. I look forward to seeing how strong you really are."Marchbaby then set out looking to see what else the Desert would throw his way hoping this capture was a sign of his luck getting better after a rocky start.

A curious little purple scorpion crawled over a large sand dune. It waved its tail high in the air and began digging in the ground, busy about its usual life. When it noticed Marchbaby, it froze and studied him carefully as it tried to decide if he were a threat.

As another Skorupi appeared before Marchbaby he was glad he would get another chance to capture one as the first one ran off very quickly. He could not blame the creature as they were not known to appear in other parts of Johto making them quite a find. That fact was not helped by how useful they could be if trained properly. Marchbaby had every intention of trying to capture this one hoping luck would finally be on his side and that he could cross it off the list of Pokemon he needed for the Pokedex. He grabbed a Safari Ball before talking to the creature hoping it would come with him.
" Skorupi a few of your friends had already run off from me but I hope you will be the lucky one who decides to come along with me. A fine Pokemon such as yourself would be a huge help on my journey. Not only would you be useful to me but I could make you stronger as well in a mutually beneficial partnership. What do you say? Would you come with me?" He said as he tossed the Safari Ball aiming right between the Skorupi's eyes praying his luck at capturing the species would finally change.
