As yet another Girafarig appeared before him Marchbaby started to wonder if he had unleashed a curse of some kind upon himself for capturing one. Despite hearing that they were an uncommon species in the area he had now encountered 4 of them on this trip and he felt like he should play the lottery at this rate. " Another one? Well if your species are going to keep showing up I am going to keep trying to capture your kind." He then aimed a Safari Ball at Girafarig before throwing the ball as hard as he could hoping his puck would be better this time.

The girafarig snorted, another one?! It was certainly not just another one, it was one of its own! It jumped easily out of the way of the safari ball which disapeared into the wilderness.

As Girafarig easily broke out of the ball Marchbaby was far from discouraged. He still had plenty more balls and as Girafarig had not run off he knew he woukd get at least one more chance to snag the tough giraffe Pokemon. " Ah tough like most of the others I see! No worries I like tough Pokemon so breaking free only makes me.want you more. Go Safari Ball capture Girafarig." He said as he tossed another ball hoping this attempt would bring him better luck.

The next ball would hit the wild giraffe on the head and zap it inside. But that wasn't the last that this guy had seen of it! It kicked and struggled until it managed to break free of that horrible contraption! Narrowing its eyes on the enemy, the Girafarig bellowed at the top of its lungs and kicked at the ground underneath its feet in warning.

Just like the last few tries Marchbaby had failed to capture Girafarig yet again. Somehow the giraffe Pokemon had still decided to stick around however and Marchbaby refused to give up no matter how unlikely such a lucky capture would repeat itself anytime soon. " Still fighting back against being captured I see, well I cannot say I am surprised but at least I will get yet another chance to try and get lucky." He said before he tossed another Safari Ball hoping that luck would be on his side this time. He knew it would take a miracle to get lucky but it was so worth the risk if he could get a second Girafarig. They were not a very common species even in Johto and he knew they could be a very strong species once raised to their full potential.

That's it! As the next ball flew over Girafarig's head, it ran full-force in Marchbaby's direction. If he didn't react quickly, it would try to rear up and kick at him. This giraffe wasn't going to play this man's foolish games!

Despite Marchbaby's early luck it seemed as though he had run into a rut of bad luck lately. Girafarig was proving to be quite a stubborn Pokemon but he was determined to keep trying to capture it no matter how unlikely a second capture was. " Thank goodness I bought the maximum number of Safari Balls, I have a feeling I will need all of them at this rate. I have used almost half my stock already." As he grabbed another Safari Ball he knew he needed to get lucky soon or else he might not even be able to use all of his encounters. As he took aim at the giraffe Pokemon yet again he crossed his fingers and hoped for better luck. " Go Safari Ball, capture Girafarig." He yelled as the ball traveled towards it's target.

This Girafarig knew one thing, as it escaped another ball tossed at its head. It was NO MAN'S Giraffe. Not today, not yesterday, and won't be tomorrow! It snorted, flicking an ear in annoyance. How DARE this human even try!! Then it just straight up ran away, yo. How cold hearted. Catch(15%): QiQAN8xh1-100Flee: 1-13 Remaining Safari Balls: 16 1-100·1-13

As the Girafarig ran off Marchbaby was not too surprised. It was a bit of a shame to miss his chance at another one but there was still hope to run into the Pokemon he really wanted. It also meant he could use his remaining Safari Balls for something else. As he started to look for another Pokemon he wondered what would come by him next. " I guess it was not meant to be. No point in getting too upset as there will be more chances. I just hope my luck turns around again soon." He knew if he wanted any hope of capturing the elusive Pokemon who escaped him previously he would need to get very lucky. He wished he had a single Master Ball about now so he could remove one part of the luck requirement.

A large round Pokemon ambles slowly through the golden-brown grasses of the savannah. It pauses and stares hard in March's direction, not quite sure if it saw anything moving in that direction or not...

As the Chansey appeared before him Marchbaby was truly in awe. It was not the elusive beast he was truly after but such a rare Pokemon was still a treat to encounter. Capturing one would truly be a test of both luck and skill but he had to try as it would more than make up for the previous failures. " Oh my word, am I dreaming right now? Is there really a Chansey right in front of me right now? If you are not a mirage I have to try and capture you as you are worth you weight in gold." He then grabbed another Safari Ball and realized that he will have used exactly half his stock once he tossed it. Knowing the odds of encountering another Chansey anytime soon were not great however he wasted no time in trying his luck.

The chansey made an exclamation when it spotted Marchbaby and when he threw the ball, she grabbed the egg in her pocket and flung it towards him. The two round objects collided midair and both got smashed to pieces. Even before the remains hit the ground, the chansey was waddling away as fast as she could.

As the Chansey ran off Marchbaby was not too surprised. He knew they were tough to catch but it did remind him he had a Happiny he still needed to raise. " A shame but I am sure I will get another chance to catch one at some point. I also have Omelette I can raise as well if worse comes the worse." As he took a deep breath he started to look for another Pokemon. He was quickly running out of chances to encounter the one Pokemon he truly wanted another chance to capture.

The price of eggs were getting as high as the chance of Chansey fleeing with their own eggs. This Nidorino might be a better choice for anyone looking to enjoy the safari with a safer gamble on wild Pokemon who don't activate their "flight" of "fight or flight" toon soon.

As the Nidorino appeared before him Marchbaby paused for a moment to consider his options. Unlike most of the other Pokemon he had encountered Nidorino were not super hard to obtain and his stock of Safari Balls was running low. On the other hand if he did manage to capture it he might be able to trade it for something else someday. After thinking for a few minutes he decided to try his luck as his stock of Safari Balls was not dangerously low yet and he could spare a few safely. " Hello there, you are not quite the Pokemon I was hoping for but I still think I will try my luck to capture you. Safari Ball capture Nidorino." He then waited hoping luck would be on his side.
