Whelp. That didn't work.
Uh. Sure. He'd throw another ball. He'd be kicked out of the Safari soon anyway. Might as well toss one more. Adrian expanded one of the safari balls and gave it a throw as this houndour wasn't acting super aggressive nor skittish. Maybe this one would STAY in the ball. But who knew? He certainly didn't. But if he left this safari without throwing every one, the Warden would probably make fun of him anyway. After all, he'd have gloating rights then, about how Adrian reserved his throws for nothing.
ooc// lol. Didn't even notice. xD I was focused on the encounter number.

Three encounters and ten safari balls remaining. Time to keep looking. He picked up the ball and rolled it in his palm. This houndour wouldn't—couldn't—replaced Merc, but maybe this one wouldn't be stolen from him. Maybe he could nurture it to become a houndoom that would protect the Ranch alongside Sarge. It would be of a different nature, less used to the desperate battles of the Hills.
"Alright. I'm going to keep looking," Adrian said gruffly before walking past the warden. He kicked a couple small rocks as he navigated the sandy dunes and tried not to tumble down any.

Whelp. That was a big bird. He didn't have a fearow or spearow and he was running out of encounters so...why not? Adrian reached for his belt and pulled two pokeballs from it. "Might as well wing it."
The warden snorted.
Oh. Whoops. That was...yeah.
Adrian cleared his throat as he enlarged a ball and threw it. And should the fearow not flee, he'd throw another one. C'mon birdie, stay in the ball wouldja? That way he would feel a little better about not seeing anything rarer and losing the tauros capture to his impatience. Of course, any sensible bird would just fly off if stuff was chucked at it, so...he didn't have the highest of hopes.
(Safari ball x2)

One ball and...oh. It immediately went still. Caught. No fuss. No fight. No bait or balls. Adrian stared for a moment. Maybe fearow were weirdly easy to catch? Scooping the ball up, he inspected it for a moment, before pocketing it and looking around again. Two more encounters. Nine more pokeballs. Would he see something rare or could he see even MORE houndour.
He double-checked his pamphlet and kept moving.
Just a little more time to find something cool that he hadn't already caught.
There were lots of things he hadn't even seen here! C'mon. Come out of hiding!
The warden just idled behind, shaking his head, "You've caught a bunch. Done better than some I've seen that walk away with nada."
"Trying to make the most out of this trip...I don't know if I'll ever be able to come again..."

Adrian cocked his head as he spotted another new pokemon. He had never seen this pokemon before. He knew it was an electric type and it looked quite prideful and strong. So what was the harm in tossing a ball to try to catch it? Well, first he'd throw a rock. Adrian was feeling a little more confident after the fearow just...stayed in the ball. No fuss or fight, like it just wanted to be caught and get out of the desert. So maybe this one would be similar?
Adrian drew in a breath and threw the rock. And if the little lion didn't flee, he'd also throw a ball.

Whelp. The luxio ran off.
No surprise there.
Adrian rubbed the back of his head and glanced at the warden who held up a single finger. One more try. One more encounter. One more chance to see at least one of the rarely spotted creatures of the desert safari. So he drew in a breath, smiled wryly at the 9 safari balls in his possession, and looked around. Off to explore the dunes. Off to find something new. Off to make the most of this final pokemon he would spot here in these rolling sandy hills.
Come on. Be something special.
Make this day memorable.

Adrian paused when he saw the electric hound. Oh! Hey. He wanted one of those! He was wondering if he'd have to trek to goldenrod and train an electrike, but here was its evolution. Perfect. However...that confident hound looked like it would be tricky to keep in a ball. So he braced himself, breathed in and got prepared to play the long game. He tossed a couple bait to it, hoping to distract the electric type and hoped it didn't flee. He had pokeballs to burn now. So time to hunker down and /wait/. He needed to be more patient than he had been with the tauros. Even if the odds were against him, he had to say he tried.
(x2 bait)

Well, it was now happily eating bait so...time to throw a ball. Or nine. He had nine left and no more encounters. So keep eating those noms and hopefully decide that you really, really wanted to be in a pokeball, new friend. The odds weren't in his favor but, he hadn't thrown any rocks so maybe...this would go okay? Only one way to test that. He enlarged a ball, cocked back his arm and threw it at the manetric, fingers crossed that the electric hound wouldn't bolt.
