Litten the fire tiger pokemon. Rare yes but what she was looking for, no. Zuri sighed as the playful kitten looked up at her with big eyes. She already had one cat and while he was weak to dark types she couldn't bring herself to want to catch another cat. No matter how cute it was on the outside.

Turning away Zuri continued down the path leaving sad little eyes looking after her. She wasn't going to play with it or let one of her pokemon play with it. Disappointment abounds as the cold-hearted woman turned away such a cute pokemon. It better go catch up with its litter then.

"Wrong fire type. All my pokemon are grounded I need at least one flying type," Zuri reminded herself as she continued on.

Zuri sighed as she came to rest at the base of a tree. No sign of her desired pokemon and she was a good distance in now. She sat down on an exposed root. She did daily jogs but that didn't mean she still couldn't get tired. She sat there a long moment pondering where she may have to go to find what she was looking for.

That was when she heard a faint chirp overhead. Looking up a little red head peaked over the branch at her. Surprise followed by relief flowed through her as she stood up and tossed a ball. She knew just the pokemon for the job.

"Ezili knock that bird out," Zuri commanded the lanturn. The fish pokemon looking up into the branches just in time to see the bird go wide eyed. It knew what was up and it wasn't ready. Not that it mattered much to Zuri.

Ezili complied shooting out a blast of hot water even as the bird bolted into the sky. She continued to shoot water at him even as he used his aerial acrobatics to avoid each shot. Efficiently dodging her attacks before swooping in with a flaming body. Which didn't do much as it bounced off her rubbery skin. Now too close to dodge she gave one big blast of water grounding the bird with wet wings. Then another to leave the normal type reeling and finally a third leaving the bird sprawled out on the ground in a puddle of mud.

"Excellent work," Zuri said walking over. With this pokemon she would have a full team. All that was left would be to get the pokemon that would ensure she hasn't wasted her money. She gave a toss of the ball which bounced off the birds body and absorbed him. As it shook she pondered what name to give him.

Zuri continued to wander the safari paths casting glances on several region based pokemon. Pidgey's mostly to be honest. They seemed to be everywhere really.

Her gaze caught something pink tending to another pokemon its soft appearance and soft touch while looking like a nice thing wasn't something she could imagine anyone wanting. Softness was not needed in battle in her opinion. That's why she had been training Ezili to stand up for herself. Since evolving she's been better about it but she still has her moments.

Zuri just shook her head and moved on leaving the audino to tending its patient. Let's try finding something with a bit more wow and a lot less aww.

What was that smell? Zuri paused nose to the air as she tried to figure it out. She started to figure out a bit too late though. The stench was quick to become unbearable as a doping looking gas pokemon floated her way. She about to have none of that. Taking to heel she bolted in the opposite direction.

The friendly koffing left bowing its head as it scared another potential friend off. People were so mean and it was because it was ugly. Sniffling the koffing turned around and floated away its feelings hurt by the insensitive woman. Hopefully, it'd find someone to take it home someday.

For now though today was not that day as Zuri slowed to a walk. Looking behind her to make sure it wasn't following. Good grief what were the safari rangers thinking to let such a poison-spewing monstrosity in here. She shook her head as she continued her search.

Good grief Zuri was getting tired. She pondered life as she continued along till she heard a cry of rage. Turning around she saw a bouncing pokemon pointing at her accusingly. It was Lorde all over again don't tell her she was about to be stalked by a rodent now? Zuri silently cursed her luck and she didn't feel like running anymore.

"Fine you wild pokemon want a beat down I'll give ya one," Zuri said becoming pissed. With a click, Monty was released. "Go have fun."

Monty grinned ear to ear as she said that. He started off with foresight enabling him to hit the normal type. Then he attacked with nightshade his body and the sentrets disappearing into an orb of darkness. The sentret scared and injured wasn't about to give up though as it rushed the ghost trying to slam into him only to go through. It let out a chittering of a curse making Monty cover his mouth to hide a snicker.

Zuri took a seat on the ground watching as Monty had his fun the ghost type effectively teasing the normal type as he stayed in range and let it have its swings. The sentret essentially tiring itself out for them as it tried so hard to defend its friends honor and ultimately failing.

It took several hits from monty to finally knock out the sentret but it was done. The normal type never even stood a chance against the ghost. Which was sort of the point in having him anyway. He looked to his disgruntled trainer smiling sheepishly. Yep she was mad about something.

"I'm a teacher I can't afford to waste five-k for just one bloody pokemon," Zuri grumbled to herself not even bothering to acknowledge the sentrets defeat. She didn't get paid enough to waste money like this. If Monty had to guess right now it was that menacing aura that was keeping all the pokemon away now. He gave a chuckle as he watched her.

Monty watched her for a moment more before he saw her perk up. The medium having picked up on a frightened pokemon in the distance. She stood pondering her options a moment before walking forward several steps trying to get a good view of whatever is in the trees.

The fact she was looking right at its hiding place and circling just made dedenne more scared the small mouse looking both ways trying to find a way around this. Suddenly the duskull appeared in front of it the scared mouse jumping so high before bolting away from him and right towards the human. Tears came to its eyes as it was spotted and placed between a rock and a hard place.

'Dedenne the Antenna pokemon.' Zuri held out her phone scrolling farther down. She had no use for the synopsis or the history of this pokemon. Rather she was more interested in its weaknesses. However, it is its strengths that had her raising her eyebrow. Dragon attacks would not work on something so small. That was more than enough of a reason to catch it. Many people used dragons so talk about a true advantage in having a pokemon immune to it. If her team wasn't already full she may have considered it herself.

"Jincan," Zuri said letting out her skorupi. The mouses whiskers noticeably drooping at the sight as it went wide-eyed. "Poison sting only."

Jincan hissed at the command. That was lame. Still she shot out those poisonous barbs leaving the small mouse wounded. No longer thinking out of fear the mouse retaliated with some well-aimed electricity. The mouse turning to run but no one to back it up as the duskull still floated there feet away. More barbs hit it in the back it could now feel the poison coursing through its body. A small squeak of submission coming from the electric type as it turned towards the human.

"Hmm," Zuri hummed looking at the mouse its aura color was a pale cream color the sign of accepted defeat. Similar to that of a white flag signaling surrender. Zuri tossed her safari ball at this signal and then returned Jincan. If the ball didn't take Monty could handle the weakened mouse.
