The Journey of Ash Ketchum(Kanto)

Safari Zone

Safari Zone

The gang had made it to the Safari Zone.

"Alright, we're here" Brock said

"Awesome, I'm gonna catch so many Pokémon" Ash said with excitement

"This'll be so much fun." Serena said with joy

When they entered the cabin

"Hello, welcome to the Safari Zone, My name is Kaiser." Kaiser greeted as he looked at Ash "You must be Ash."

"How do you know my name?" Ash asked

"My friend Koga told me about you, he called me & said you were coming." Kaiser explained "I assume you're here to catch Pokémon here at the Safari Zone?"

"Yes sir." Ash nodded

Kaiser gave the gang each thirty Safari Balls. The Safari Balls were camouflaged Poké Balls

"Alright, you three. The rules are simple; 1. You are not allowed to weaken a Pokémon with your own, 2. You are only allowed to catch the Pokémon with only the Safari Balls & no other kind of Poké Ball. Understand?" Kaiser said

"Yes sir" Ash said

"Mr. Kaiser, is this you when you were younger?" Serena asked, looking at a picture of a younger Kaiser & a small blue & white serpentine-like Pokémon with white fins on the sides of its head.

"Yep, that's me." Kaiser said

"Who is this Pokémon?" Serena said as she pulled out her Rotom Phone

Dratini, the Dragon Pokémon, a Dragon Type. Dratini's existence was mere rumor until a fisherman finally managed to catch one after fighting it for many long hours. It sheds its skin several times as it grows, & the skin is sometimes used in clothing.

"Dratini are very rare Pokémon." Brock pointed out

"Does this mean there's Dratini in the Safari Zone?" Ash said

"There's no Dratini here!" Kaiser exclaimed nervously as he snatched the picture from Serena

"What's wrong?" Serena said in concern

"Forgive me, it's just that, 30 years ago, when I found Dratini, trainers came to get it. They got many other Pokémon in the process & it nearly destroyed the Safari Zone, since then, trainers were only allowed to use Safari Balls here." Kaiser said

"Oh Kaiser, we're so sorry to hear that" Serena said with empathy

"It's alright." Kaiser said before putting on a fake smile "But hey, what am I doing here bumbling about? Come on, this way.

Kaiser opened the doors to the Safari Zone

"Alright kids, once you used up all the Safari Balls, be sure to come back, ok?" Kaiser said

"Right." The gang said as they entered the Safari Zone

The gang decided to split up & meet back at the gate. About an hour later, the gang met up at the gate

"Hey Ash, did you catch any new Pokémon?" Serena said

"Sure did." Ash said "What Pokémon did you catch, Serena?"

"I caught a Nidorino, a Chansey, a Rhyhorn, a Venonat, a Staryu, a Seel, a Shellder, a Goldeen, a Cubone, & a Tangela"

"That's very good." Ash complimented as he turned to Brock "What about you, Brock."

"Me? I caught a Tauros, 2 Rhyhorn, a Rhydon, a Geodude, a Graveler, an Onix, a Cubone, a Chansey, a Weepinbell, & a Paras" Brock said

"What Pokémon did you catch, Ash?" Serena asked
