IMPORTANT Zaiden is using a Golden Nanab berry! Per our guide the berry is used with the ball and lowers flee rate by -3!
ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
The thoughts that raged inside of Zaiden’s head like a screaming television set slowly simmered to low whispers. He managed to retreat a safe distance away from the powerhouse of a hyrax that was Nidorino. He managed to make it out alive and relatively unscathed. Zaiden sunk down in the wild grasses and plucked his bag off his back with a loud sigh of relief. Thankfully, Nidorino isn’t chasing me anymore… They were well-known Pokemon even from his home region, and though their previous evolutionary forms weren’t as bad, Nidorino and their counterpart were known to be pretty dangerous if you weren’t careful.
Time slipped by with relative ease. And though the sun waned through the sky as if to slip off and release its claim upon the world, it still burned brightly on the long descent towards the horizon line. Soft sepia hues reminiscent of rich mahogany wood craned towards the rich aquamarine hues stretched out like an endless ocean above his head. A soft frown pulled at the corners of his mouth, causing the teenager to hum in quiet contemplation about his life. What did he hope to gain from such a trip out into the midst of the wilderness where vast stretches of land were sectioned off for a more natural lifestyle, meant to protect the often rare and possibly endangered species that inhabited the area?
Something hopped across the vast stretches of endless savanna filled with long tendrils of flaxen veld. It was a soft pink dot, nearly lost to the wonder of the world wrapped around itself. As it traveled, waddling with an awkward gate that bordered on pointedly fixed hops at times, Zaiden’s jaw slowly unhinged as though it would collapse onto the grass-covered ground. They were rare and elusive creatures even where he came from, only seen behind the desks of Nurse Joy’s Pokemon Centers where they worked alongside the doctors and nurses to ensure prompt recoveries of sick and injured Pokemon. Just the sight of one alone promised happiness to the bearer, though it was regarded as a myth that any remained in the wild.
And here she was, wandering about with a wide smile on her face! A wonder to behold! The creature cradled the small egg nestled inside of her pouch. Two small arms barely noticeable upon the large stature and rotund frame hugged the white ovum close to her chest. She paused only for a second, turning to a wild stag beetle with its large brown exoskeleton, and plucked one of her nutritious eggs freely from her pouch. As soon as she passed it over to the other Pokemon, the beetle gobbled it down in the blink of an eye and hurried off through the overgrowth with a thankful growl.
Not wanting to lose the moment, Zaiden plucked a small golden berry shaped like bananas from a pouch on the side of his bag and slipped it through the tall golden blades towards the new arrival. He slipped into obscurity, ducking low to remain hidden among the blades, and held his breath lest the sound of it spook her off once more. When the wild Pokemon turned to the small berry, she smiled, and plucked it off the ground with ease. As soon as she ate it, Zaiden pulled out another Safari ball and tossed it through the air with the click of a button. Maybe the universe would work in his favor, given the horrible luck he had previously with his last poached (and failed) catch?
OOC: Using one Golden Nanab from Mishu's inventory with a Safari Ball! Should only have a flee of 1-3 out of a roll of 1-28. ^^
Self-updating she will have x4 left!

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
While Zaiden remained hidden out of sight from the elusive Pokemon, the egg-shaped mammal hopped over to the strange berry and easily gobbled it up. A bright smile stretched across Chansey’s face, causing her to glow as her happiness blossomed into pure joy. Was there some sort of grove of these berries nearby? The helpful Pokemon straightened herself back up and tapped the side of her face with a soft hum. She twisted her head in different direction and searched in earnest, though she couldn’t spot any others among the tangle of wild grasses and bristling bushes. Where could this one have come from, though?
Zaiden kept his body pressed firmly in the tall grasses. It was such an exhilarating feeling! His heart raced inside of his chest as his rich burnt senna hues studied the Chansey and took note of her overall mood. They were easy to frighten off, and even after gobbling the berry up with ease, Zaiden witnessed Chansey tapping her foot nervously against the ground. It contemplated darting off through the savanna before something happened to quickly change the moment forever. And though Zaiden fretted that this would be it, the wild beast instead remained, easily kicking his Safari Ball far away from her side.
One of her long, rabbit-like feet stretched back behind her as soon as the ball soared towards her. She swung the foot with all her might and sent the camouflaged ball soaring far above the earthen ground, where it kissed the bottom of cumulus clouds with ease. With a twinkle, the ball disappeared entirely from the area, though where it might have ended up was a mystery to all who witnessed. That was so close! Well, not literally, as there was absolutely no chance of Zaiden catching her that round, but it felt like it was just a second’s beat away from Zaiden ending up with a new friend, instead.
He desperately wanted the capture to go well but wasn’t sure what more he could do. The only options remained – offering the wild Pokemon something edible that would satiate its hunger or attempt to capture it once more. His luck wasn’t exactly showing any favorable promises, considering the large feline that tore off the instance Zaiden met it and the enraged hyrax that attempted to rip the young teenager into smithereens. Maybe simply chucking balls wasn’t enough and he needed to give into the other alternative options the park used. Zaiden quickly plucked a bit of bait out of his pocket and flung it through the grass quietly, aiming to land in front of Chansey’s feet.
He just needed it to take the bait for a little while, then he could continue to chuck away until hopefully one of the balls resulted in a successful capture. After giving the wild Pokémon enough time to chow down on her newest offering of food, Zaiden pulled a small ball out of his bag and tossed it through the air with the click of a button. The berries wouldn’t be enough on their own, but perhaps there was a combination of things that Zaiden could use to his benefit that might help him win the war in the end? It was quite the prize – almost as good as finding the elusive kangaroo he’d only heard about as a story told from other travelers who visited the area before. Would this finally be the moment he needed to turn his luck around?
OOC: Not sure if I can keep using Mishu's Berries? ^^ For now, using Running Shoes to toss some bait (should lower 1-x flee rate by -2 ongoing for rest of battle unless bait or similar is used). Catch rate is already at minimum threshold. Then using Safari Ball!
TL;DR: Bait then Safari Ball, minimum 12% catch for Safari Zone. New rates should set to 1-4 flee rest of thread assuming nothing like rock is used.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Chansey hopped over to the small bit of bait sprinkled in the tall golden blades around her and plucked them up with ease. Where was all this heavenly food coming from?! Apprehensive, she leaned back up and searched carefully around her. A gentle wind tugged at grass and bush alike, shaking their leaves. The grasses swayed gently as though they danced with delight, whilst the leaves rustled quietly and murmured amongst themselves.
Try as she might, Chansey couldn’t find any suspicious activity skulking about around her. So, she ate the bait eagerly, stuffing her face until there wasn’t a trace left. Sometimes, the strange humans that rode around the large zone would leave scraps for them to digest, keeping the naturally wild Pokémon plump and happy. Though Chansey always bolted when she saw them, at least she was sure she’d only found their remnants after they’d left.
At least…no one seemed to lurk about. Zaiden sighed, relieved that the prized Pokémon chose to stay with him and didn’t immediately hop off through the tangle of wild grasses in the distance. He quietly fished out another ball and rubbed a bit of dust off the top of its dome, while watching Chansey carefully. It plucked the second ball Zaiden chucked and sniffed it carefully, trying to determine what the strange device was. The other stuff had been food, right? Why wasn’t this also food?
In the blink of an eye, Chansey stuffed the strange, camouflaged ball inside of her mouth and chomped away greedily. The sounds of metal cracking and snapping into pieces grated the inside of Zaiden’s ears, causing him to reel back from the pain. Yuck! Chansey spat all the parts of the ball back out onto the grass and immediately scraped her tongue as much as she could to remove the repulsive flavor. Not food at all! Who would do such a mean thing like that and trick her?!
She narrowed her eyes down suspiciously as Zaiden clicked the button in the center of the spherical device. Time was running out and Zaiden feared that if one of the balls didn’t work soon, then he would lose his chance to capture such a mysterious and beautiful creature. It would feel heart wrenching to walk away from the Safari itself with nothing to show for it, or to only show off some rather common Pokémon he could have caught somewhere else. But he was scared that by holding out hope that he would actually catch this beauty, it might backfire and cause him this prize instead. Please, let Chansey successfully go inside of the Safari Ball!
OOC: Using 1 Safari Ball and lots of prayer!

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Fear bred with anxiety and produced an infuriating level of agitation. He was impatient. Impatient to see his capture to fruition. Impatient to stand up and stretch his legs, lest he be discovered by the wild beast whose elusive behavior of ducking out in the blink of an eye was well documented. Why had nothing seemed to work since he first appeared in the Safari? Though he hadn’t seen too many creatures – a beetle he was able to easily avoid, an overpowered hyrax vying to take him off the census, and now this pink behemoth. The frustration, though, remained.
There was little else Zaiden could think of to do given his situation. He lacked anything worthwhile to leave behind for the egg-shaped Pokemon. Most of his other berries would probably afford a weak snack and was part of the brochure that discussed the types of food you shouldn’t bring into the Safari. Apparently, some of the razz and nanab berries were safer for the environment as their less robust natures made it difficult for them to proliferate without human guidance. They couldn’t make the same guarantee about most of the other berries, and instead held a location wide ban on them.
Would Zaiden choose to leave more bait behind? The first bit he placed out eased the tensions between himself and Chansey the first time. As he pressed himself into the grass and glanced up quietly, trying his best not to breathe too heavily, Zaiden thought through his options. What if it only wasted more time and after filling up on his gifts, the elusive egg-shaped Pokemon chose to turn and bound away in the blink of an eye? Zaiden gulped; eyes widened with worry as anxiety swelled inside of his head and wiped a bead of sweat away from his eyes.
He only had one option. Though, there was also the strange conundrum that swelled in the back of Zaiden’s head. As natural the terrain around them that allowed Chansey to thrive like she did, was it really in her best interest if Zaiden caught her? What sort of life would he be able to offer her? Would it have any of the substance she needed from her old life, to create the kind of not only diet but enrichment she needed to thrive? He chucked the next safari ball whilst biting his lower lip and waited to see if this ball would be the one to make a successful capture.
OOC: Another Safari Ball please!

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Well, this sucked. Rich chocolate irises enlarged whilst staring through long golden strands that obscured his vision. The rotund pink mammal bounced on the tips of her nimble feet, easily breaking out of the Safari ball as soon as it tapped her against the side of her body. She glared; eyes angry as they hunted carefully for signs of another in the expansive grassy fields. Who was tossing these strange capsules at her?! But, as she bent over and sniffed the ground, managing to find scraps of the previous bait she hadn’t already gulped down, Chansey calmed down and relaxed.
Zaiden released a soft sigh of relief as his large eyes stared quietly at Chansey. The way she swayed and tapped her feet made him nervous. Time was waning, causing the long rays to slowly retreat towards the horizon line. Soon, night would settle upon them, bringing with it whatever strange creatures might find it advantageous to fade into the dead of night. Chansey were not especially thought of in any particular part of the day, but would this one bolt for its nest if Zaiden didn’t hurry up?
He was grateful that the wild Pokemon still hadn’t noticed him hiding amongst the tall golden blades of grass. Although his outfit wasn’t particularly made to blend in, there was enough grass to drown himself inside of for the moment. He also doubted that all Pokemon could see in perfect color, as some were proven to have limited color perception through careful lab testing and couldn’t truly be sure how much of the spectrum Chansey were able to see. How his scent wasn’t wafting too far from the grass and causing it to bolt for the hills, Zaiden was only quietly thankful of without truly knowing.
He assumed most Pokemon – especially those related to more mammalian-based species or ones who could possibly be carnivorous in nature – had at least a decent sense of smell. Still, Zaiden easily plucked another Safari Ball from the collective. He stared at the top dome of the sphere and huffed a slight sigh of annoyance, before giving the ball a quick peck on the top of its dome. With a click of a button, he tossed it at Chansey like a broken record, performing the same tricks on repeat. Please, oh Arceus, please let this one catch the wild Pokémon!

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Chansey snatched the small, camouflaged ball out of the air and rolled it around inside of her paws. Soft eyes, though diminutive in shape and form, stared intensely at the capsule. She pressed the two dome pieces together, clicking them in place, and tapped in random spots to try to understand how it worked. After a bit, Chansey finally located the small button in the center with a delicate press. She hissed as it popped up with ease. Furry pink arms flung wildly around in the air, tossing the capsule off through the tangle of wild elephant grasses in a hurry.
Zaiden sighed. It was grandiose of him to think that a simple prayer would guarantee such a mighty feat. Though it went unanswered, slung into a backlog of other prayer requests that wasn’t guaranteed to even make it to the footsteps of the Pokemon he begged and pleaded with, he had hoped in the sliver of a chance it would work. He turned; eyes fixated on the wild creature who neither left the spot nor joined him and waited with bated breath. Zaiden carefully crawled backwards through the grass towards a large rock whose visage would easily afford him a place to rest and hide in peace.
Chansey stood up on the tips of her elongated feet, eyes scanning the area determined, with flared nostrils that sniffed ravenously. Something alerted her. Zaiden’s heart skipped a beat, trapped inside of his chest and locked behind bars as his ribcage kept it from clawing its way out. Was she sniffing him out, perhaps? Already put on high alert the moment he tried to move to safer grounds? He stopped in his tracks and in his haste, he plucked another Safari Ball from his pocket with ease.
He'd worked too hard now to give it all up! Eyes widened with worry; Zaiden scarcely managed to turn his attention back on the wild mammal before him lest the act alone send it scurrying off into the wild thickets around them. He couldn’t let it go so easily! Not after all he’d done to try and maintain the vantage, and all he’d experienced along the way in his attempts to stay alive within this often-dangerous wilderness. He clicked the button in the center and tossed the ball eagerly, quietly holding his breath as though even that could spook her off. Would it work yet, or would he waste all his chances just trying?

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Zaiden felt as though his world was frozen in time, locked in the same rolls as they repeated themselves in a near endless loop. Was it still the same day or had the sun managed to slip beyond the horizon line, letting the moon appear in its stead, only for them to switch roles once more? The seconds bled into minutes that transformed into hours, causing time itself to feel as though it were merely an illusion. Another Safari Ball sped through the air only to be thwarted by the rotund pink blob just as easily.
Zaiden’s eyes turned to the heavens above and stared at the small white clouds. They ebbed slowly through the sky-blue seas overhead at a slow, ambling pace, as though they lived such a tranquil life that they never worried about the trivial necessities of life itself and what it means to fight to stay alive. Food or shelter were things that needn’t concern them, since they lacked such fundamental concepts as mortality and the high-stakes possibility of being removed from the census altogether.
Still, the sun waned in the skies above. Slowly inching downward as the day burned into the afternoon and slowly wore into the early night, it was all the proof he needed of time’s quiet, constant marching. What should he do, though? Another ball could prove as fruitless as the last, making the whole event nearly moot. Was this what it meant to come to the Safari, where some wasted thousands for the chance to catch such a magnificent beast? For what, though, if all the balls failed endlessly after the other?
Hope dimmed in the pit of his chest. He could scarcely believe the thoughts that raced inside of his mind. Was he ready to throw in the towel this close to such a monumental prize? Zaiden shook his head quietly and plucked another Safari Ball from his bag, before turning to the bright pink blob once more with hope brimming inside of his heart. The game wasn’t over yet. There had to be hope that he could walk away with something to show for his efforts. What hilariously sad fact would it state, if he couldn’t even do that?
Quietly, Zaiden clicked on the central button and tossed another Safari Ball overhead in a desperate attempt to snatch one of the most elusive creatures around the area. She was easy to spook, and even seemed on edge in their previous moments during their fateful encounter. Now, however, she relaxed and even grabbed the balls he tossed out of the air, just to juggle them in her hands before breaking them herself. Clearly, this Chansey was something else, remaining quite the character of her own story altogether. Zaiden only pleaded silently, scarcely daring to keep any shred of hope alive, that this would finally work.
OOC: Another Safari Ball please! If that fails AND Chansey remains, a bait please!
