NOTES - new encounter Raiden didn't actually expect the ball to work, not really. He was just trying to use it as a way to get out of its jaws that were trying to pull him. It was the best way of doing it, even if he didn't get one ball back it was better than actually losing his leg. He could always throw bait at it afterward for something it could actually eat instead. So when the ball absorbed the pokemon he jumped back ready to have bait for the pokemon - but ... it never came back out of the ball. It rocked a few times before it just... stopped moving the familiar ding that the pokemon had been captured. "You've got to be kidding me."
Raiden stared at it before he moved to pick up the ball. A trapinch, it was going to make a great addition to his party when he was high enough to actually have it at least. A small chuckle manages to come from him before adding the ball to his belt. This was definitely worth his trip. He was actually quite excited that it had gone his way, so he continued to look through the desert wondering if he would find anything else interesting. [googlefont=Karla] |

NOTES - raiden used rock throw Raiden continues to travel through the sands and once again finds himself wondering about home. He missed it, that wasn't a lie, he would always love Orre at least in that weird love-hate relationship kinda way. The thing he missed the most was those that he cared about, the people he had left behind and didn't know what had happened to them. That was the hardest part about all of this, the fact that Raiden wasn't sure and he hadn't been there to do more. Perhaps that was also why he had to get stronger, push harder, and make sure he actually did what he said he would. He would go back one day, once he had made a better life for himself.
It is in his own personal thoughts that he almost doesn't notice the pokemon that was in the sands. You'd think he'd be more aware of scorpions considering they loved the weather. It is last second that he scrambles and just barely manages to not step on the Skorupi, and for good reason. Those stingers would probably do a lot more to Raiden than his shoe would do to the pokemon. A small sigh comes before he looks at the little creature that seems confused about what he was doing. He already had a skorupi now but maybe he should catch the pokemon and sell it? Well, he could certainly try, it wasn't like he was out of anything if it ran.
He would take this smarter than last time and not wildly throw a ball (even though that had worked) and this time tossed a rock at the pokemon, perhaps it being hit would allow him a better chance at catching it. [googlefont=Karla] |

NOTES - raiden used ball toss There was a little bit of sympathy, at least a little when it came to actually throwing rocks at pokemon. Hadn't he almost gotten eaten by a trapinch a moment before? He felt a little less bad after remembering that indeed did happen. Though when he saw the reaction of the pokemon he couldn't help but still feel bad just a tiny bit. "Sorry buddy." that at least made it a little better right? He did apologize for throwing a rock at it.
Of course, he was going to throw something else at it too but maybe it wouldn't hurt as much. This time grabbing one of the balls he had remaining he tossed it at the pokemon. Maybe this would be easy like last time, or it could be worse. Who knew really when it came to trying to catch anything in this desert? [googlefont=Karla] |

NOTES - new encounter please! Did that actually work? He can not believe that worked. Raiden didn't think he was bad at all, but it just seemed like things here were much harder to catch than most others. He wouldn't complain at all, besides Skorupi seemed to be quite popular at least from what he had seen. The trainer moved to pick up the ball that had stayed still now that it was no longer moving and placed it on his side with the others he had caught. This was shaping up to be a rather good day.
He wondered if there was anything else that he might be able to catch before he finished up his trip in the desert. As much as he missed the hot climate it was starting to get strange without his normal team with him. [googlefont=Karla] |

NOTES - Raiden used rock throw x2 It seemed that he didn't have far to go until a new challenger, er pokemon, seemed to show up once more. It seemed like it was a houndour, a pokemon that he knew was wanted by more than a few people, but he had a fire type already in his party. Charmander would be fine for him but he could always catch it and offer it to someone else for a fee. Or something like that - Raiden wasn't the best at selling things let alone pokemon when he really just wanted the best for them.
The pokemon looked like it was patroling and he wondered if it would be hard to catch. So Raiden moved a hand in his bag and pulled out two rocks. He really hated how savage this was, but it wasn't his zone and he had to follow the rules. So one at a time he tossed the rocks at the hound hoping that it would make it a bit easier to catch.

NOTES - New Encounter Well, it seemed that throwing rocks had been the bad decision in this case. The pokemon was hit the first rock seemed to send it scampering away and the second rock only made it run faster. He probably deserved that considering that he had just thrown rocks at the pokemon. Raiden once again felt bad about having to actually throw rocks at these pokemon instead of just battling. Yet thinking of it that way a rock was probably a lot kinder than fighting fully.
With a sigh, the hooligan continued looking around in the desert and sand for the next pokemon that he would manage to come across. Maybe with luck, he wouldn't make this one run on sight. Granted he would be happy regardless considering he did manage to get quite a few pokemon on this trip already.

It looked like he was not finished with his time in the safari zone quite yet. Raiden knew that there was a limit to how many pokemon he could see and how many balls he had but it seemed he wasn't there quite yet. A few more if he remembered correctly. He was sure that once he reached his limit the warden would show up and tell him it was time to leave. No one would mind if he stayed a little longer right? Or he could feign innocence if he was caught later, the truth was Raiden wasn't trying to do anything bad he really just didn't remember what it was that he was supposed to stop at.
Oh well, he would worry about it later. Instead, his eyes moved back to the hot sand that he was traveling on, as his vision came across a new pokemon. Oh, another Tauros perhaps a second chance from the earlier mistake he had. Digging in his bag he looked for the bait he had been given, this guy looked mad and Raiden did not want to be on the receiving end of this one. He wasn't going to give the Tauros any money but he could give it something good to eat. Grabbing two helpings of bait he quickly tossed them to the beast to hopefully distract it.

Raiden didn't want to be run over by a Taurus, that was the last thing he wanted. So it seemed the bait had done its job and now Raiden was safe from that outcome. At least for now, it seemed distracted by the food. He knew the rate for catching the bull Pokemon was quite low so at least for now it would be busy eating and maybe not pay attention enough to actually stay in a ball. That was the hope at the very least that he could manage to get this giant this time.
Pulling out balls from his bag Raiden tossed one and for good measure, after a moment he tossed another. Still, he was on his toes making sure that if the pokemon did charge trying to flee he wouldn't be in its path. Raiden liked the desert a lot but the last thing he wanted to do was end his life here in this one before ever returning back home to where he was needed.
