Chapter 18: Adventure in Safari Zone
After winning his fifth gym badge Kenneth decides to visit safari zone to catch some rare Pokémon. He purchases a ticket and proceeds. He has been called out by receptionist. "Excuse me young man before you proceed I will explain the rule. First you are not allowed to battle Pokémon in this zone. Second you are only allowed to use safari ball" she hands Kenneth thirty safari ball. Last but not least you have only one hour to catch as many Pokémon as you can. Once the times over you will have to leave". Kenneth nods and proceeds.
In safari zone he looks around and sees a herd of Tauros charging around. Kangaskhan playing with each other. Scyther flying around. Pinsir fighting each other. "Wow this place is amazing they got all kinds of rare Pokémon which one should I catch first" Kenneth said as he looks around. He looks at a lone Tauros walking. Kenneth sneaks through bushes and throws a safari ball. The ball sucks Tauros in. The ball shakes two times and Tauros breaks free. The wild Tauros glares at Kenneth and charges towards him. "Oh no that Tauros is mad at me" Kenneth said as he runs away. He runs into thick woods and hides in bushes. Kenneth sighs and says "I think I lost it".
He gets up and sees a Chansey. The wild Chansey also spots Kenneth in fear it started running away from Kenneth. "Hey wait" Kenneth said as he chases Chansey. The wild Chansey was fast it somehow managed to get away. Kenneth is now lost in the woods. He looks around and spots a Dragonair by a lake. He sneaks around in bushes. Then he jumps out and throws a safari ball but the ball bounces from it and nothing happens. "Wait what it's a trainer's Pokémon" Kenneth got confused. "Hold it right there what are you thinking" someone from behind him said.
Kenneth turns around and sees a girl. She is about same age as Kenneth. She had long red hair on top she wore pink bucket hat. She wore black tank top and red jacket. Black pants with red and white sneakers.
"I am sorry I didn't know" Kenneth apologized. "It's okay it was an honest mistake. "Is this your Dragonair?" Kenneth asked. "Yes, and he is my partner too my first Pokémon and my starter" She replied. "I also wanted to catch a Dratini" Kenneth said. "I am guessing that's why you are her" She said. "Hi my name is Kenneth" Kenneth introduced himself. "Hi Kenneth I am Leah" she said. Suddenly the ground starts to shake. Kenneth looks around and sees the same Tauros charging towards him and Leah. Leah moves behind Kenneth she seems too scared. "Stay back the Tauros is angry on me" Kenneth said and hold a safari ball. He throws safari ball on Tauros. The ball sucks Tauros in and it shakes three times and ping. Kenneth picks it and says "Yes I caught a Tauros". The ball disappears. "Where did that ball go?" Leah asked. "To professor Oak's lab" Kenneth replied.
Suddenly a voice from speakers says "Kenneth from Pallet town you time is over. Please exit immediately". Oh no my time is up. We'll see you later Leah" Kenneth said. "Wait come to my house it's in Fuchsia city" Leah stops Kenneth. "I owe you for saving me" she said. "Ok lead the way" Kenneth said.
Leah leads Kenneth to her house she opens the door. There is a man working in kitchen. "Dad I am home" she said. The man turns around and sees Kenneth. "You brought some guests" he said. "Hello I am Kenneth". "Hello there young man I am Sylvester Leah's dad" he said. "Will you join us for dinner?" he asked. "Sure" Kenneth replied. Sylvester sets the dinner table and calls every one for dinner. "So Kenneth tell us about you" Sylvester asked. "I am going to compete in indigo league. I have already got five badges. "I'm also competing in indigo league and I already got six badges" Leah said. "So, where are you going next?" Sylvester asked. "I am going back to Saffron city to challenge for gym badge" Kenneth said. "Wait you are also going to Saffron city? I was also going to Saffron city for some work in silp co. "Can I come with you?" Leah asked. "Sure I was kind of getting lonely by traveling alone" Kenneth said.
The next morning
Kenneth and Leah heads towards Saffron city. "Before we go can we visit Pokémon center" Kenneth asked. "But wh-"before she could complete Kenneth cuts her and holds her hand and drags her into Pokémon center. There he calls professor Oak. "Hello Kenneth what can I do for you?" Oak said. "Can you send Tauros here" Kenneth asked. "Your party is full. Who do you send here?" Oak asked. "I am sending Graveler". Kenneth puts poke ball on the device and exchange Pokémon. He turns off PC. "So, Leah ready to head out".
