Clues of the shiny ditto's whereabouts there was none of, but the pokemon which lived here kept making fun of Lei and taunting her even though they might not know it themselves. Something blue and moving caught Lei's attention and she drew in her breath sharply, was this it? Had she done the impossible and found the ditto which had tried to evade her and would bring it home anyway? A faint gasp behind her told her the warden were thinking the same. Lei crouched and slowly sneaked closer, safari ball at hand and ready to hurl at her target, she was not going to waste any time this time around and risk it running before she even got a chance of trying to capture it.
The warden suddenly cleared his throat very loudly and the blue pokemon popped up over a rock to look curiously at them. Lei was frozen in the weird position she had taken when she had sneaked forward, and she got a blast of water to the face which made her stumble back. The wooper laughed and Lei glared at it but simply hurled the ball at it. A chuckle was heard from the warden behind her, he sounded relived.

The first ball striked true and sucked the wooper inside, it wiggled once... twice.. and then blasted open to free the blue mud pokemon, it looked anything but pleased. Lei didn't care and hurled a second ball at it. The wooper wasn't done and it blasted yet another water gun at Lei, and while the trainer ducked and avoided getting another blast to her face, the safari ball wasn't so lucky and got imploded by the water gun, then the wooper spun around as Lei prepared a third ball and ducked behind the rock. "That won't help you," Lei grumbled and rushed over expecting to see it cover behind the rock and being an easy target. There were no wooper though, but clear footprints in the mud which disappeared into a puddle of water. Lie groaned again and pushed herself up from the rock. "Well, I already got one of those," she said dismissively and walked on.
The growlithe had trotted over and collected the remains of the broken safari ball, the first, the second was in too small pieces to do anything with, and carried it back to the warden.

Lei's awful luck at mastering the art of tossing spheres had not gone unnoticed as another Quagsire had witnessed her latest capture attempt. The blue salamander Pokemon wagged it's tail as it looked at her wondering if she was looking for help at mastering the craft of catch. The Quagsire had no idea what Lei was actually trying to do and only time would tell if that would come back to haunt it. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/quagsire.png) Quagsire (Level 23) appeared!

Had Lei known that the dull looking quagsire thought she didn't know how to throw a ball, she would have been furiously offended. She knew how to throw pokeballs and she was good at it! Just like she was great at battling and finding and catching pokemon, when others didn't put some unnecessary rules in the way for her. Or when her pokemon were too weak and useless to do what she needed them to do. There was something in the look of the quagsire which set her off though, perhaps she could sense what it thought of her ability as trainer, or perhaps she was just getting tired of seeing woopers and quagsires all the time, wasn't thi supposed to be a place full of different pokemon? Wasn't that the whole point with the Safari and keeping trainers out?!
The quagsire was not going to be met with kindness, Lei weightened a rock in her hand, and a safari ball in the other. A moment after they both flew at the blue pokemon in quick succession, with the rock first.

Quagsire was thwacked in the head by a rock. Blinked. When the ball flew its direction, it opened wide and GULP. Mmm...well that wasn't a very tasty berry. Maybe it was another rock.

The quagsire reacted just as stupidly as Lei would expect. Just standing still and getting hit by the rock and then it ate ATE! the safari ball. Lei watched it intently, expecting it to still work since it did touch it, but nothing happened. "Are your safari balls of a bad quality since it malfunctions like that?" She asked the warden dryly. He huffed, "No pokeball, no matter how effective will be able to survive the amazingly strong mouth of quagsire! I Have seen them crush rocks just by biting down," he said proudly and Lei rolled her eyes. "Isn't that exactly why they should be made to withstand it?" She commented and he began to protest, something about it not being them who made the balls.
Lei turned him out, the quagsire was still around so she could just as well take advantage of that and she hurled another safari ball at it.

The quagsire must have decided that the safari ball tasted so good that Lei was one it would join in the hope of getting more. Lei had been prepared to send a barrage of balls at it, but as the first she threw this time around flew towards it, it simply bowed its head and let it bump off the top of it and such it inside. "That is strange," the game warden said puzzled while Lei rolled her eyes, the dumb pokemon had just finally realized her superiority or had been too dumb to realize what it was doing. She carefully made her way over to pick up the ball and pocketed it, ignoring how it mudded her jacket, she was going to get this set of clothes burned anyway and get something new.
"So there is really nothing here but woopers and psyducks?" Lei asked annoyed as she turned to the warden, he looked troubled for a moment but his pride took over, "of course there are, you have just caught a quagsire as well." "You know what I mean, if this is all you have this is not worth my time," she huffed and he glared at her. "You are free to travel to other areas if you want to, and no one has asked you to come, you can go home and never show your face her again at any time," he said through gritted teeth. "Not really, I was sent here, remember?" she retorted but did really wonder if it had been a good idea, and if she was really wasting her time.
(ooc: looks to be an error with the leve, it was rolled as a level 23, then showed as a 26 and now caught at 27, eating that pokeball really taught it a thing or two! XD I have changed its level to the first rolled, I have double checked that it didn't affect the catchrate nor the moveset.)

"This is the Safari, the pokemon are wild and they decide where they want to be and what to do, we do not control them in any way and I cannot make any of them appear at will, no matter how much you wish to encounter something specific. The Safari is a wild reserve where you can get the thrill of seeing the pokemon in their natural environment and even catch them, but you will never know what or even if, you are going to bring anything home," The game warden said, sounding like an old LP, it was clearly something he had said many times before. "Of course not, what I don't understand is why I haven't seen anything else," Lei said through gritted teeth and met no sympathy form the warden. "Because you have been unlucky, plain and simple. You ran into the most rare of the area though, the shiny ditto who I haven't even seen before even though I have worked here for ages. We weren't even sure it was true as until now it was just rumors but now I can confirm it," the warden said calmly, "ditto's are generally very hard to catch though, and you were just as unlucky facing it as the majority of the visitors here." Lei grumbled and thought to herself that it was all a scam, having people come and pay and be promised the world while getting nothing out of it than destroyed boots.
One of the water lilies rose from a nearby puddle, which clearly was deeper than it looked. The lombre looked around and took a few steps over and pulled something from the water and put it in its mouth. Lei's eyes widened, finally something else! She pulled two things from her pockets, a rock from earlier and one of the safari balls, and they flew in quick succession.

"Lo Lo lombre!" the lombre scolded Lei with a raised finger when it realized she had thrown the rock, she didn't listen and the pokeball followed closely after. The lombre swatted at it with a hand but got sucked inside instead, and the rocking ball sploshed into the water and disappeared under the surface. "No!" Lei gasped, it would be so typical if she caught it but couldn't get the pokemon. "How am I going to get the pokeball now?" She demanded to know of the warden who shrugged and pointed, "what does it matter?" Lei turned to see the lombre out of the ball again and she frowned annoyed, had it just been the pokeball who had been lost she might have been able to get the system to recall it somehow, or demand a compensation from the Safari zone.
The lombre brushed off its arms and looked sternly at Lei, its eyes widened when it saw several sports balls fly at it.

The lombre lowered its head which probably worked well usually to defend it from rain or other things thrown at it, better hit the big leaf than somewhere else on its body. When it came to pokeballs it just didn't work like that, the lilypad caught the ball just fine and it rolled around the rim for a bit, as the two others dumped into the leaf as well. The lombre lifted its head and one of the sport balls sucked it in and all three balls splashed into the water. Lei hurried over, she was not going to lose it this time, should it stay inside, in her hand she had yet another sport ball which she was ready to throw at it, should it come out again. A muffled chime from under the water confirmed the capture and Lei thought to hell with it and with a disgusted grimace shot her hand into the water to fish up the occupied pokeball. "Gotcha!" She mumbled and pocket it, ignoring the stain which spread on her jacket.
"One more encounter," Informed the warden and Lei glared at him, ten encounters was nothing! She had thought she would have gotten all pokemon she found, if she wanted them, and not that most of them would have run off. She glanced at the warden and once again wondered what she needed to offer to get him to look the other way, while she did things the way she wanted to.
