Team Fellowship stayed at the Pokemon Center for another night after Jeffrey and Diane got their fourth badges. The team leader called Professor Oak, "Hello Jeffrey, how are you doing?"
"We're doing great, we got the fourth badge from the Fuchsia Gym. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing great, are you asking for Pokemon transfer?"
"Can I have my Gastly, Bulbasaur, and male Nidoran? I'll send Hypno, Kadabra, and Pidgeot over," he placed the Pokeballs that had Hypno, Kadabra, and Pidgeot into the Pokemon Center's transfer machine while the professor placed the Pokeballs that had Jeffrey's Gastly, Bulbasaur, and male Nidoran into the transfer machine in his lab.
"No problem," Both sides clicked the buttons so that the transfer could be completed.
"Thank you, professor."
"You're welcome."
"Hi Professor," said Diane.
"Hello Diane."
"I heard Jeffrey is receiving his male Nidoran. Can I send my Gyarados over so I can have my female Nidoran?"
"Sure," the professor placed the Pokeball that had Diane's female Nidoran into the lab's transfer machine while Diane placed the Pokeball that had Gyarados into the PokeMon Center's transfer machine. Both sides clicked the buttons so that the transfer could be completed.
"Thank you, professor."
"You're welcome. Don't forget to check out the Safari Zone. There are rare Pokemon for you to catch."
"Not only there is a gym in Fuchsia City, the Safari Zone is the most popular attraction. I'm sure all of you are not going to miss it," said Brock according to the guide book.
"Check this out," Jeffrey found a paper in the bulletin board. "There is a promotional campaign in the Safari Zone. Whoever reaches the farthest corner of the Safari Zone, there will be a convenient prize."
"I remember that the Fishing Guru has an older brother living in this city, we should find him," said Diane.
Not far from the Pokemon Center, Team Fellowship reached a house and Diane knocked the door.
"I'm the Fishing Guru's older brother. I simply love fishing! I can't bear to go without. Tell me, do you like to fish?" a fisherman answered the door.
"We like to fish," Diane replied.
"Grand! I like your style. I think we can be friends. Take this and fish, young friend!" the Fishing Guru's older brother gave them a rod that had a reel with long fishing line attached with a Pokeball lure. "Fishing is a way of life! It is like the finest poetry. From the seas to rivers, go out and land the big one, my friend."
"Thanks," said Diane.
"Let's check out the Safari Zone," said Jeffrey.
Team Fellowship paid $500 to enter the Safari Zone and they were given 30 Safari Balls. A rule was that Pokemon battles with the wild PokeMon living in the Safari Zone were not permitted nevertheless baits or rocks could be used.
On land, Jeffrey encountered a Pokemon that resembled a bull with three tails. "Tauros, the Wild Bull Pokemon, It is not satisfied unless it is rampaging at all times. If there is no opponent for Tauros to battle, it will charge at thick trees and knock them down to calm itself," Jeffrey checked the Pokedex.
"This PokeMon would make a good steed," the team leader thought and threw some bait at the wild Tauros. When it began eating, he threw a Safari Ball at the wild Tauros and the ball sucked the Pokemon in. The Safari Ball landed and rolled until the red light in the button faded. Jeffrey's recently caught Tauros was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory.
Diane encountered a pink chubby Pokemon that had an egg on its belly. "Chansey, the Egg Pokemon, Chansey lay nutritionally excellent eggs every day. The eggs are so delicious, they are eagerly devoured by even those people who have lost their appetite," she checked her Pokedex. Diane threw a Safari Ball and succeeded capturing it. Her newly caught Chansey was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory.
Jeffrey encountered a Pokemon that appeared like a rhinoceros, "Rhyhorn, the Spikes Pokemon, Once it starts running, it doesn't stop. Its tiny brain makes it so stupid that it can't remember why it started running in the first place," he checked his Pokedex.
"This PokeMon can also be an addition to the cavalry," Jeffrey thought and succeeded capturing it with a Safari Ball.
Diane encountered a Pokemon that resembled a kangaroo with an infant on its pouch. "Kangaskahn, the Parent Pokemon, If you come across a young Kangaskhan playing by itself, never try to catch it. The baby's parent is sure to be in the area, and it will become violently enraged," she checked her Pokedex. Diane caught the Kangaskahn successfully and it was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory.
The wilderness on land in the Safari Zone was also a home to wild male and female Nidoran, Nidorino, Nidorina, Paras, Pikachu, Exeggcute, Scyther, Pinsir, Doduo, Venonat, and Venomoth. Jeffrey caught a Scyther that was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory.
Jeffrey encountered a Pokemon that looked like Paras except the one mushroom was bigger. "Parasect, the Mushroom Pokemon, Parasect are known to infest the roots of large trees en masse and drain nutrients. When an infested tree dies, they move onto another tree all at once," he checked his PokeDex.
"I'll evolve my Paras to get this PokeMon," Jeffrey thought and ignored the Parasect.
Team Fellowship reached to a body of water that was a home to wild Magikarp, Goldeen, and Poliwag. "Let's try out the Super Rod," Diane took the Super Rod out and began fishing. "Oh! A bite!" this time it was heavier. To Diane's surprise, a wild Seaking was fished out and she decided to let go of the wild Seaking. When she used the Super Rod again, she fished out a wild Goldeen that she caught and it was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory.
"Can I try the Super Rod?" Jeffrey asked.
"Sure," she let him try the Super Rod.
Out of Team Fellowship's expectations, a wild Pokemon that was not Water type was fished out and it appeared like a serpentine dragon. "Dratini, the Dragon Pokemon, A Dratini continually molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels," Jeffrey checked the PokeDex.
Jeffrey caught the Dratini successfully and it was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory.
"Since there's no one else around, I'll go for a swim," Diane took off her dress and jumped into the water taking mermaid form while taking the Safari Balls and Pokedex. She encountered wild Psyduck while she was swimming and a PokeMon that appeared like a bigger duck.
"Golduck, the Duck Pokemon, A Golduck is an adept swimmer. It sometimes joins competitive swimmers in training. It uses psychic powers when its forehead shimmers with light," Diane checked her Pokedex.
Diane caught a Psyduck and it was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory. She came out of the water and Misty asked, "Did you catch a Water Pokemon?"
"I caught a Psyduck," Diane replied and Jeffrey quickly dried her tail.
Later on, Team Fellowship came across the sign, "Request notice. Please find the Safari Warden's lost Gold Teeth. They're around here somewhere. Reward offered. Contact: Warden."
"Look over there," Misty pointed to an object nearby.
"It's the Gold Teeth," said Jeffrey.
"We should find the Safari Warden," said Brock.
"Let's check that house," said Diane.
After they entered the house, there was an attendant. "Ah! Finally! You're the first people to reach the Secret House. Although I made a campaign for the grand opening, I was getting worried that no one would win our campaign prize. Congratulations! You have won!" the attendant gave them an HM. "HM03 is Surf. Pokemon will be able to ferry you across water using it. And, this HM isn't disposable, so you can use it over and over. You're super lucky for winning this fabulous prize."
"Thanks," said Diane.
After the Safari game was over, Team Fellowship went to find the Safari Warden. They checked a mailbox labeled, "Safari Warden."
They came across an old man who could not speak and Jeffrey guessed he had to be the Safari Warden. He gave the Safari Warden the Gold Teeth for him to put it on, "Thanks, son! You're a real life saver! No one could understand a word that I said, not a one! I was too ashamed to show my face around the Office, even. Let me give you something for your trouble." The Safari Warden gave them HM04 that contained the move Strength and Jeffrey taught his Geodude the move.
