NOTES - using the smaller trip first pls (20 balls), looking for encounter Raiden really wasn't sure how this had happened. He usually was in the wrong place at the wrong time, which had gotten him in this predicament in the first place. Yet it seemed that in this case, he had found himself in a situation where he had actually won something, a safari trip, whatever the heck that was. If it was paid though he wasn't going to say no, at least if it was actually free, but despite all of his trepidation and hesitation not once was anything asked for. It was actually quite interesting traveling halfway across the region for whatever this safari was.
There was a small thought of maybe just staying in the area but he had been informed that he would have to come back once he was finished. If he had been on his old ways he might have tried to skip out on the rules, but that wasn't what he had come here to do. Instead, the hooligan would try to make a better life for himself here and that was unfortunately following the rules. It was the warden that would finally explain to him when he got here what he was supposed to do. A pokemon reserve where only balls could be taken in, bait, and rocks to help catch them... huh it seemed a lot like the poke spots back home where pokemon had to be baited to be captured.
Perhaps it was for this reason that when he is shown a map which location he chooses to start. His finger moves to the desert area without any hesitation. Home. Home where he wished he was, where he could have saved the people that meant everything to him. Instead, he was here, and he couldn't go back, but there is still a homesick part of him, and he doesn't say anything after. He is given the rules, that if he wishes to leave he can only go to the areas next to the one he is in but he doubts he will be going anywhere this time. So he is escorted to the place he has asked and a hood on his jacket is pulled up against the whipping sand, it does in fact feel like home.
Now, what the heck was he supposed to do? Looking for a pokemon he guessed as he started making his way through the sand that he had grown up with.

NOTES - using bait pls don't run /screeching sounds The sand was not something that was strange to Raiden, it really gave him memories that he wasn't sure he was ready for. Of a home far away from here, in a desert place that had so few people, it was astounding. Without his pokemon he felt partially powerless and back to the same situation he was in before, everything had to be done by his own brute strength. Though his thoughts are only distracted for a moment before a sound catches his attention from under the hood that he uses to cover himself from the worst of the sand. A hood was essential, at least back home and he was glad that he still had one for these cases.
What he finds is a small pokemon that is rushing at him like its life depended on it. Yet it didn't seem aggressive, happy perhaps? It was a pokemon that Raiden was actually familiar with considering where he had come from, and while he didn't necessarily want his leg to be eaten off so instead as it makes it's way over he pulls out some of the bait he had been given putting it in the way between himself and the little pokemon. "Hey there little one, are you all alone?" he glanced around briefly to make sure he wasn't about to be attacked by a parent of this pokemon.
"Would you like to come with me?" he already had the idea of trying a ball, but was that all he had to do? This entire situation was so complicated.

NOTES - don't run don't run don't run, using ball Raiden felt that cold heart of his melt ever so slightly at the way the pokemon looked at him. He wasn't sure why it struck him so much, but at the same time, he just wanted to do everything in his power to make sure that this pokemon found home. Whether that was with him, or eventually found its way back to where it had come from. The only thing he was concerned with now was trying to catch the little guy. A small smile moved on his face when he saw the pokemon eat the bait that he had given it, how precious now that little one wasn't trying to nom on his leg at least.
That would be problematic in more than one way having a leg that was messed up while traveling through the desert. Since the pokemon had seemed to calm down some, he moved to grab one of the balls that he had been provided. "I'm gonna try and take you with me and give you all the nice treats you could ever want." All he could do is hope that he was able to catch the little guy. Taking a deep breath and hoping to whatever god was listening at the gentle toss was done to try and catch the little sand chomper in the ball. [googlefont=Karla]

NOTES - ouch, just stab me where it hurts Well, he had tried at least, but it seemed the pokemon had caught onto him. That coupled with the fact that the ball did not rock hard enough and the little pokemon seemed to realize he was not its parent. As much as he would have loved to chase after it, it would probably be best to find its parent that was worried about it. It had seemed pretty young after all, sighing as he had failed the first sign of a pokemon guess it was time to continue on.
Taking one last look at where the little sand creature had scuttled off to he continued through the desert, maybe he would find something else or another one that he could be just as good for his team.

A large bull rose up over the sandy dunes with its horns pointed towards Raiden. It stomped its hooves into the sand in warning several times. You wanna tussle, little man?! I'll gore you good!

NOTES - if you could not run me over thanks, used ball It was a good thing that someone like him was used to this weather because it was hot out here. The sun beat down unrelenting in what it reached and Raiden is grateful that he always has a hood for this very reason. One might think that the man would overheat but he was used to such temperatures if anything he had been cold in a place like Johto when he had come from nothing but scorching weather and little to no rain. What he didn't expect was a pokemon to appear over the sands like it was in charge.
Raiden personally had no interest in the bull pokemon that was disputing its turf but didn't someone say something about catching one of these guys? It was almost like it was at the tip of his tongue but he couldn't quite remember. He would have been careful though because this guy looked like he was ready to charge and he did not want to be run over. So making sure to keep himself in a position that he could dodge in case it came ramming at him. Another ball was gripped in his hand and tossed at the creature not wanting to get it more angry with a rock, and honestly, he didn't want to try and feed it either.

Tauros ran head first into the ball and gored it with one horn. He stopped, shaking the bits of broken ball all over the desert, and turned angrily to Raiden. What was that for?

NOTES - used rock, prepared the dodge action xD The problem with this situation was that Raiden didn't quite know what the best thing to do was for this situation. He wasn't necessarily trying to get this bull but he was sure that someone had requested it. The problem was the creature all but destroyed the ball when he tossed it. So he would have to be very careful with his next decision, which was probably not a good idea. First, he made sure that he was prepared in case the creature charged at him (truly he would do the same).
If the pokemon was resisting the ball then, he grabbed a rock from the items he had been given tossing one at the creature. Now all he had to do was wait to see if it ran off, and if not to make sure he didn't charge him. really, this was a terrible decision but that was what he was told to do and he couldn't use pokemon that didn't exist. They had taken those from him when he had come in here.

NOTES - used ball, (I mean I see it as 1-4 so i'm not sure what you mean) Ah so the rock had not caused a tantrum and the pokemon trying to ruin his life. At the very least it did not charge at him which was the best thing about this entire situation. If anything Raiden had been ready to dodge out of the way and not be run over by a rampaging bull. Though he knew that someone wanted it his life was not worth almost being crushed thank you very much. With the rock hit and taken care of Raiden wondered if it would be any more likely to be able to catch it this time, if anything he could throw another rock if he didn't like it.
It sounded like a plan at the very least, so Raiden grabbed a ball from the amount he had been provided and once again tossed it at the raging creature. Perhaps this would be the one where the creature wouldn't smash it to pieces. Or it would and they would have to start this process all over again - and by that, he means making sure he isn't run over by a stampede if this tauros decided that he wanted to run him over instead.

NOTES - new encounter, he wants to bury himself in this sand So far this trip to the safari had not been that successful, Raiden had met a few pokemon but it seemed that luck was not on his side. The first one had run before he could help it and now it seemed that even the bull pokemon that he was only picking up for someone else wasn't going to stay on his own personal team. Though it seemed the bull had enough of the ball and rock game and after the ball seemed to break once he tossed it the pokemon seemed to run off back the way it had come and at least didn't run him over.
The trainer let out a sigh as he frustratedly kicked up some sand in his frustration. A small cough followed when he in fact kicked up sand which got near his face. He didn't hate the desert, especially since that was where he was from, but man this absolutely sucked. Frustratingly shoving his hands back in his pockets he continued looking for something else that may catch his interest instead.
