As I walk out of the pokemom center I see a posters saying something about a Pokemon Safari.
"I wonder what that is..." Vee jumps off if my shoulder and runs out if the pokemon center doors. "Hey Vee-" I follow Vee. "-Wait up!"
Vee then runs up the same steps I fell down from. "Where are you going?" Vee shakes her tail and runs away again. God dang it. So I follow her all over the city... until she randomly stops.
She then stands there looking at a sign. "Oh. It's the Safari Zone." Vee turns back to me and jumps up and down I'm excitement. "You wanna go?" Vee gives a happy cry. "Alright lets go." I pick Vee up and run inside of the Safari Zone. Once inside we look around. So many people, and so many pokemon. ???: "Excuse me?" I jump. "Oh sorry. Is there a problem?" ???: "You have to pay to get in." Oh. Well that makes sense. "Right." I set Vee on the ground and check my bag for my wallet.
"How much?" Worker: "500$" I pull out some money and count. ... 400, 450, 500. "Here you go." I hand the money to the woman and she pits it until the cash register. She then clicks some buttons and gives me a ticket. Worker: "I hope you have a good day." "You too." I then walk further into the building. "Well Vee. You wanted to come here. Where we going?" I look at Vee and raise a eyebrow as I smile. Vee then jumps onto my shoulder before my head. She looks over all of the people and the other stations where people seem to give their ticket to a person on the counter.
Vee suddenly jumps off and starts running through the crowd. "Excuse me- Vee wait up!" After catching up to Vee I end up being at one of the stations. Some people gave the person at the counter their ticket and passed through the doors. I was our turn and I did the same. I then walk outside and I see the Safari Zone. Well the actual part that makes this the Safari Zone.
"Woah!" I look around. This place is huge! The then get a tap on my shoulder. "Huh?" A
Worker: "I'm sorry to interrupt you but, the train station is right over there." "Oh. Right. Thank you." I then run to the train duration and get on. The train had the windows open. I sat against a family, and turned behind me to look at the Marsh around me. Many pokemon were walking around. "Woah. What is that Pokemon?" I pull my pokdex out and face it towards a Blueish Snake-like pokemon with a red orb on its neck. Pokedex: "Dragonair, the Dragon Pokemon. Dragonair-" I then close my pokedex. "Alright that enough."Dragonair huh? It's looks pretty cool. Vee then shouts at the Dragonair which catches its attention. Vee then wags her tail and looks at me. "Wanna get closer?" Vee nods, and so I grab Vee before I hold her out if the window. Dragonair slothers closer towards me and Vee pats Dragonair. Dragonair let's a friendly cry, and rubs uo against Vee. "I see you made a new friend." Some people then notice the Dragonair and try to go pet it. I even see the family I sat next to video record Vee petting Dragonair. "W-what?" The Dragonair then slothers back as the people almost touch it. The Dragonair and then looks at Vee one last time before it jumps into the murky water.
Kid: "That was such a cool pokemon! Imma Catch it!" The look over at the Family's kid and he pulls a Ultra Ball out of his pocket. The kid glances at me. Kid: "Hey sir, do you think you can help me get the Dragonair to come back using your Eevee?" Sir? "Sure? I can try anyways..." The mother of the family then sits down, and looks at me and her kid. The Mother: "You seem pretty young to be traveling all alone. You're not hurt are you?" "I don't think so?... Oh. I'm sorry. My name is Ethan." The mom then nods at me. The Mother: "Well its good to know you are doing well Ethan. My name is Gloria, and my son's name is George." George: "I'm 8." The kid then smiles proudly at me. Gloria: "Yup. Today is his Birthday." My eyes widen a bit. "Oh. Thats cool. Happy Birthday George." George smiles.
George: "Thank you." He beams with joy. George: "So Ethan. Do you have any Pokemon besides Vee?" Vee jumps onto my lap. "Yes." George gets closer. George: "Can I see them?" Gloria smiles awkwardly at me as if she was saying, "I'm sorry." "No. Sorry. If i let them out they would probably break some of the train. They are pretty big." George sighs. George: "I see. Then can i pet Eevee?" I look at Vee but she looks at me. I nod and she stands up. Gloria: "So how long have you been on your Adventure?" I pause. "Well... a good month? Maybe longer. I actaully dont know, i lost count of when i started a long time ago." Gloria chuckles. Gloria: "Ah, i see then." George then looks at me. George: "When i grow up i 'wanna be a trainer too!" I smile. "I don't blame you... but when you do, be careful." George and Gloria look at me both confused. George: "It can't be that dangerous. With a pokemon you can do anything!" I blink once. Should I say how dangerous it is out there? Before I can say anything a woman then walks to the front of the Train and talks through the speakers. Worker: "Ok guys. We will be going into Area 3 of the Safari." The Train starts moving slowly at first but picks up. George sits down quickly.
"It's not at it seems George..."
