After successfully selling off the blob of pink goo to the person who had wanted it, Izumi was back for another quick run in the Safari Zone. She knew that she was literally cutting it very close; but she had no other choice—besides, why did she choose to go to the Safari Zone at the very end of the month?! Was there something else about the trip that made it easier? Or was there luck involved? in any case, she then fell in line and submitted herself to the mandatory patting-down, before being given the signal to enter the area—and this time she had a definite destination in mind, because she knew just where to go. Straight to the prize. No more crapping or messing it up now, she thought as she then made headway towards the same Zone she’d visited just a few hours ago; which was Zone Number 4.
Come on, little baby, come to me. I know you’re waiting out there, so come to momma! She thought, gleefully rubbing her hands as she then circled around the tall grass and went straight for the Watering Hole’s edge, hoping that she would be able to find what she needed this time around—there were just some times that opportunity would come knocking, and the earlier trip was one of those, because hell, it was a Ditto, and someone wanted it so bad! she had the exact same team she’d brought along earlier, so she was absolutely sure that they were going to be getting a good training session down pat this time around!

Izumi had begun skirting around the grassy parts of the area; not wishing to run into anything that was potentially awkward or embarrassing. She had her “weird bunch” with her; because she honestly knew that she needed to spread the love around some more—and that Fulmine, her Electabuzz, was killing to see some action. However, the action wouldn’t take place… well, not too much yet because she had run across yet another Shieldon; and the only one she had was now in the hands of a Ranger from some far-off region; simply because she wanted a different Fossil ‘mon at the time. Well, definitely not. I don’t want this piece of déjà vu anyway… she thought, eyeing the Shieldon that was seemingly grazing on some grass not too far away from where she stood. Nobody came to mind—she was returning to her roots as a Pokémon “Catcher” again—and decided to bypass it. Okay, good thing you brought along the bug spray, otherwise this is going to get ugly… she thought to herself as she then slowly backed away from the grazing Shieldon.
Okay, pick up speed, pick up speed, you don’t have too much time left. You have to find it, and fast. Otherwise you’re going to be in a lot of trouble. I still don’t know when the missive is coming from… from master, she mused to herself, shuddering at the fact that she was now apprenticed to someone who was more well-versed and more knowledgeable than she was, at least in the terms that concerned battle and all that. Plus I suck so bad. I know he’s going to flay me alive. Hence my preparing… she thought, looking through her jacket at the six assembled members she had with her at the moment. She continued to hurtle through the grass, very much eager to get to the watery area o the Zone as quickly as she could manage—because even she was chasing the afternoon light; and it was infinitely more difficult to hunt for stuff in the Safari Zone when it got dark.

Izumi looked up at the sky and saw that it was slowly but steadily turning orange—a sign that the sun was pretty close to setting and twilight would soon set in. She knew that the Safari Zone had strived to maintain as natural an environment as possible; however with the way the sun was quickly setting, It would seem that she would have to get this hunt done as quickly as possible, because she had no Fire-types with her that could light up the way! “Drats, have to hurry…” she hissed, shoving aside undergrowth as she then came stumbling onto the edge of the Watering Hole—and then, a single croaking noise made her ears perk up. “Aha,” she began with a grin on her face, quickly scooping up two particular ‘mons she was going to use—and then sending out their contents; watching as Fulmine, her Electabuzz and Erya, her Flaaffy, made an appearance. “Looks like we’re about to strike it rich,” she began, pointing ahead—and seeing that there was a blue-colored frog, that had some kind of whitish back lining, was perched on a rock not too far away. “Let’s get things started, shall we?”
“Electa, electabuzz!”
“Ffy, flaaffy, flaa!”
She grinned and watched as her Electabuzz made some kind of punching motion; whereas the Flaaffy then swung its tail, before said Froakie noticed that it was no longer alone—before quickly leaping high into the air! “Oh crap, looks like we have a troublemaker on our hands… Erya, throw up a Light Screen on our side of the field, now!” she began, and watched as the Flaaffy’s tail lit up with a crackling power; before a barely-materialized screen shimmered into existence, before flickering out—the wall that protected against special attacks was up and running! “Alright, Ful, you know what to do. Can you toss your Electro Ball sky high? Erya, aim high with your Signal Beam!” she began, and the two Electric-types nodded, before leaping into action. The Electabuzz then cut ahead but skidded off to the left; whereas the Flaaffy then made headway, going right in order to be able to set up a two-point attack for when the Froakie landed back on the ground!
Said Froakie had actually used its Bounce attack and was now airborne—and it was chuckling with glee—but it was short-lived, because right then and there, a sinister-looking beam had cut through the air, in an attempt to swat the airborne frog down! It had missed the Froakie completely; and that made her hiss—however, the Electro Ball that Fulmine was charging up was now rocketing towards it; and it went off right as it hit the flying Froakie, causing an explosion to rip through the sky! “Wh-whoa!” she shouted back on the ground; and the Noibat that had perched on her shoulder ducked behind her, hiding due to the sudden lights show. The Froakie was now plummeting back towards the ground—and it was the perfect chance for the two to practice! “Alright, Erya, unleash your Discharge, Ful—go wide with Thunderbolt!” and then promptly slipped her left hand into one of her pockets and pulled out a pair of shades and slipped them on—she knew that this was going to become extremely bright! As a safety precaution, she recalled her Noibat back into its containment unit; because bright and flashing lights were something that baby ‘mons were not completely used to—not just yet anyway.
The Flaaffy then leaped into action, skidding to a halt from its current position—and its tail lit up; along with its fur; before releasing a sudden explosion of electricity that flashed through the entire clearing! The Froakie that was now falling back t the ground had no idea what had hit it—because the Electro Ball had smacked it into a daze—what made this a lot worse was the fact that her Electabuzz had decided to whirl its arms around before holding them sky-high… and then making a Thunderbolt crash down from the sky, catching the plummeting Froakie dead-center! She then blinked for a few second as the sudden display of electricity flared throughout the area—therefore driving off any possible attackers from approaching where they were—and then watched as something hit the ground; it was a stunned, shell-shocked Froakie. “Well, that didn’t end too well for you… Discharge has a pretty wide area of effect…” she muttered to herself as she whistled; and both ‘mons looked over to where she was.
“Come on, guys. We’re still looking for something… and it’s definitely not that Froakie…” she trailed off, waiting for the two to catch up with her so that they could continue their search. The sky was now streaked with orange—and she knew she had to make it quick, otherwise she’d have to search through the area in the evening—with no possible light source; because she knew the Safari Zone strived to keep the area as natural as possible!

It didn’t take too long for the travelling cohorts to actually find something—not long after the Electabuzz and Flaaffy had trashed the bubbly, bouncing Froakie they had caught sight of their next target; which made the two Electric-types suddenly dash forward, leaving Izumi and the Noibat perched on her shoulder behind! “Hey!” she suddenly shouted, trying to keep up with the two that had bolted ahead of her, because they had now seen something that they were pretty much sure their mistress would love to add to her team: a sunbathing Squirtle resting by the edge of the shore. The Flaaffy then decided to backtrack to where their mistress was now, trying to catch up with them because they’d bolted so far ahead. “Flaa! Flaaffy, flaa! Flaffy!” she heard the Wool ‘mon say in her direction, and of course, she was met with an initial look of confusion—that was soon replaced with this grin so wicked, it almost freaked the Flaaffy out of its fur! “Excellent. Most excellent…” she continued, rubbing her hands together as she managed to catch up to where Fulmine was, waiting for her to actually start issuing orders.
“A’ight, let’s get that turtle captured. As for you, little Noibat… I really, seriously need to decide on a name for you…” she continued to the tiny thing that was perched on her shoulder, as the two then formed a two-point attack party, then looked back at her, since they were pretty much itching to go into combat. “…Ishtar. Alright, that makes three. Ishi, crank up the speed with Tailwind, then go even faster with Agility—end the chain with an Air Slash! Erya, follow up with Light Screen, then unleash Discharge, full power! Ful… aim well. Electro Ball first, and if that fails… close the distance with Quick Attack!” and the Noibat, finally happy to have a name of her own, quickly flapped her stubby little wings and began whipping up a wind behind their backs; and the two up front then realized they could go faster! The Wool ‘mon, in return, quickly conjured up a semi-transparent screen of light; before it vanished, granting them protection—and then its tail lit up, before unleashing a wide-area Discharge, more than enough to catch the attention of the sunbathing Squirtle!
“Squirtle, squirt?” the surprised Tiny Turtle had time to reply, before seeing a sudden ball of cracking energy headed its way! In its defense, it then quickly hid in its shell, hearing the crackling explosion echo all around him—but not taking as much damage, because in response to the Electro Ball that the Electabuzz had fired off, it had used Withdraw in order to raise its Defense! Although the Squirtle had some idea that there were some moves that didn’t work too well with his only defensive move, he decided to use it anyway—and did so once again; giving him another boost to his defenses. When he stuck his head out of the shell, he was a bit shocked to see a blade of air whistling his way and in an attempt to retaliate, had fired off a Water Gun in order to be able to diffuse it; but had failed and gotten smacked upside the head instead! He also hadn’t noticed the Electrabuzz that had closed the distance and then rammed its body against the shell—but instead of the Squirtle being forced back, it was the Electabuzz that had been forced aside! “El? Electabuzz?!” she heard Fulmine roar out of surprise, before looking at Izumi once again, waiting or more orders! The Flaaffy was now waiting, in a defensive stance—ready to fire off support as necessary.
The Squirtle then snickered, before hiding in his shell once again and raising his defenses by means of Withdraw; and then chuckled; because for now, at least, he was safe. Back outside, Izumi was now formulating a plan, since she had three ‘mons out on the battlefield… and she needed to keep the Squirtle out of his shell as long as she could! “Hmm, stupid bugger is playing the defensive game, eh…” she trailed off, watching as the Noibat hovered near where she stood, before getting an idea. “Alright, that’s it, gloves off! Erya, go for Signal Beam this time, then follow it up with another Discharge, but be sure not to hit Ishi! Ish, you go and try your Air Slash again—make sure you fire it off after the Signal Beam goes off. Then wait for Discharge to go off and fire off another Air Slash! Ful! I… I give you free rein on what you want to do, you’re a big girl now! Just bring that Squirtle out of its shell and take it down!” she continued, quickly reaching for a pair of shades in one pocket and slipping it on; because she knew the moment she gave her Electabuzz free rein to do whatever she wanted, things were going to get a bit… dicey.
The Flaaffy’s tail then lit up and shimmered a greenish hue before inhaling, and firing off a particle beam that looked dense and sinister; rocketing towards the Squirtle who was still hiding in his shell—she could only guess he’d used Withdraw again—when the Noibat sprang into action, quickly flapping her stubby wings and creating a pair of crossed air blades as it then hurtled somewhat behind the Signal Beam attack, before overtaking it and then taking on this unearthly hue. The Noibat then waited for the Flaaffy to let loose with the Discharge attack, so that it could prepare for the next phase of their “joint effort”. Over at where the Electabuzz stood, she then cracked her knuckles before leering quite evilly at the Squirtle, who was undaunted—and then the Tiny Turtle took the offensive, quickly firing off a rapid succession of Water Gun attacks! That was a big mistake for the Squirtle—mainy because Electabuzz just happened to be an Electric-type; and had now clenched her fists some distance apart before making another crackling ball of electricity appear between the void!
Without thinking, the Electro Ball attack was then launched, much like a certain attack some certain people preferred to use when they wanted to go out with a bang—and the rapid-fire Water Gun attacks shorted and fizzled out upon contact; before the Electro Ball then collided with the gloating Squirtle, who was forced back several paces! At that same moment, the Flaaffy then decided that now was a good time to fire off the Discharge attack, and did so—a very bright flash, accompanied with the sound of electricity crackling then went off; and this attack was accompanied by another Air Slash courtesy of the Noibat! Up front, the Electabuzz then sidestepped around to avoid most of the sudden “flash-grenade”-like Discharge attack, before whirling her arms repeatedly; and then the sky above the arena went dark—and then a Thunderbolt came crashing down on the shell-shocked Squirtle, who’d taken it head-on… and why was he still standing, despite the fact that the attacks were extremely effective against him?!
The answer was here: said Squirtle then took a deep breath before quickly attempting to charge at the Electabuzz, throwing all his weight forward in a Tackle attack. This, of course, was quickly shunted aside by the Electabuzz with her on Quick Attack; before suddenly gaining point-blank range and then releasing a Thunder Wave! At the same time, the Flaaffy rushed forward as well, charging up another Signal Beam—and the little Noibat brought up the rear, flapping her wings like bad, before deciding to release another Air Slash attack, letting this one go first this time—and the Signal Beam followed right after it; which then hit the Squirtle, causing it to fly off its feet and then crashed into a rocky crag nearby, unable to complete its Tackle assault. At this point, all Izumi could do was watch—and then she noticed that they were fiercely determined to make the Squirtle come with them at all costs! The Squirtle, who was feeling a bit woozy now, was back on his feet again—and then saw that it was a three-on-one charge; but he didn’t want to go down; he didn’t want to surrender, he wanted to fight, to prove that he could literally go the extra mile, that he could fight and win! At that moment, the Electabuzz had closed the distance and was now aiming another up-close and personal Electro Ball; to which he decided to retaliate with Bite; instead of Fulmine getting the chance to fire off her attack, she was redule interrupted by a gnashing turtle!
“El! Electa, electabuzz!” Fulmine shrieked, flailing its arms in order to try and get the stubborn thing off—why was it still moving, given that it had already been zapped with Thunder Wave?! The Flaaffy and the Noibat had caught up by this time; and both were now at close range, the little flying Dragon-type having used Air Slash again in a vain attempt to get the Squirtle to let go; while the Flaaffy then aimed a Thunder Wave at the gnawing Squirtle, who was still hanging onto the Electabuzz’s arm, refusing to let go—because if he let go, then he was dead toast! The Electabuzz, try as she might to force the Squirtle to let go, wasn’t succeeding at all; in fact the more she flailed her arm, the more it hung on, renewing the strength of its Bite attack! The Flaaffy then gestured for the Noibat to stay back; because her tail was now flashing a dangerous bright color—and the Noibat quickly beat it out of there, because she’d seen what the Discharge attack could do at extremely close range. As the Electabuzz tried in vain to summon a Thunderbolt from the sky, another sudden flash of light lit up the area not too far ahead—and just as Izumi was rushing forward, Ishtar then smacked into her, yelping out of surprise! “Oh, shoot, sorry about that Ishi! Get on my shoulder and hang on!” she shouted, trying to squint through the flash of light—even with shades on it was difficult.
As the two arrived at the scene, the Flaaffy then backed away; having used Discharge at potentially lethal range—and the scene was a mess; the ground was burned almost black; but at least the Squirtle was no longer hanging on to the arm; however it was now bleeding profusely! “Damn, that Squirtle sure doesn’t know when to give up,” she muttered, quickly tossing the Safari Ball at the now upside-down shell, before tending to the Electabuzz’s injury.

Izumi had gotten so busy with trying to bandage up her Electabuzz’s bleeding arm; she didn’t hear the three dings go off from the Safari Ball she’d chucked at the defiant Tiny Turtle. She was only alerted by its presence by Ishtar, her Noibat—who then whizzed over the capsule and then rolled it towards her knee. “Eh… oh, it worked? Well, in any case, thanks for working so hard; Ishi, Erya, Fulmine… and stop wigging out so much Ful, I’m just about done wrapping up the injury,” she said, quickly returning her attention to the Electabuzz’s bleeding arm—even if she’d seen what had happened, she had no idea that it would leave a permanent scar on her arm afterwards.
“At least you showed the Squirtle that you guys mean business, that’s all I need… you can rest now. Ful, stay with me, we’re going to get you to a Pokemon Center, okay?” she said towards the Electric ‘mon, recalling the other two and snatching up the Safari Ball where a shell-shocked Squirtle now lay; before watching it vanish off towards the cold storage known as her PC.
After bandaging up Fulmine’s arm, the two then hastily made their way out of the Safari Zone; because the sky was now darkening—and it was easy to get lost in the Safari zone, especially if it suddenly started becoming dark out! “Come on, Ful… just bare with me a while longer… we’re almost there…” she hissed as they crashed through the undergrowth, finally managing to find the path and racing towards the “entrance” as fast as they could manage and then literally bolted out the gate and made a mad dash towards the Pokemon Center; not even bothering to chat with the people who were there, since this was an emergency!
