The ASB Safari Zone

[Shuppet Master]

Darn it. I'm starting out, so I can't buy any Pokeballs, and I can't even ref because you have a lot of refs already!

I just hope there's another Safari Zone thread next time. (Hopes to catch a wild 4th generation Pokemon later.)

[Chris 2.1]

Shuppet: If activity picks up we'll need more refs. We are launching the Diamond and Pearl Safari Zone on May 1st. It may be launched in a new topic but I am unsure.

Look out for DP exclusive areas for catching Pokemon!

[Andrew]

I want to go down the Staircase, Mr Mime, use Flash but not to upset any Pokemon around, so we can see underneath.

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 4


Down the staircase you wander, Mr Mime lighting it up with a bright flash. As you walk you notice a bunch of Grimer sliding around the floor, giving off an almighty stench. You are in a long corridor that leads to what looks like a primitive cell. The door has rusted off. In the corner you see a sparkling gem. A Loudred is stamping his feet and shouting nonsensically, and a Gulpin is aimlessly wandering around. You can also see a pair of Shuppet chasing a Jigglypuff and Clefairy down a corridor to your left.

What will you do?

[Andrew]

I want Jynx to levitate that shiny shiny gem towards me!

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 5


Jynx used her psychic prowess to grab the shiny gem and lift it up, bringing it towards you. It is roughly the size of a small fist and is perfectly smooth and round.


You have found a Pearl!

Keep hold of it until May 1st!


Pocketing the Pearl you notice a Misdreavus drift past quietly. There is also a Togepi curled into a round egg-shaped ball as well as a group of Cleffa and Igglybuff looking scared at your presence. You also see a Miltank quietly dozing as a Shuppet wanders along.

What will you do?

[Andrew]

Pearls! That's as gay as Anthony Callea! I want to walk back up to the street and try and find that Magneton... What do Magneton eat? Oh... jeeze, I have no idea. Mr Mime, Meditate your powers up!

[Saffire Persian]

A pearl, eh? Awesome. All right, Rast, Ice Beam it's other wing to attempt to immobilize it, and follow up with a Bubble Beam . Then see what it does, if it doesn't try to attack and seems willing to listen, see if it'd be willing to join us, if not, use an Ice Beam to try and freeze more.

Ice Beam - Bubble Beam - Ice Beam

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 6



You leave the corridors from downstairs and wander back the way you came, emerging in the sunny streets of the Old Village. An Eevee bounds along as you see an Elekid firing off a bolt of lightening to stun a nearby Shuppet. Down an alleyway you see a large Muk giving off an almighty stench, while a Tauros is seen smashing a trash can and eating the contents within. You also see a very rare, very powerful Nidoking smashing the wall of a nearby building with his tail.

What will you do?

[Mega Horny]

Guys, i feel guilty. I've been really busy. Wolfsong, I'll do your reffing as soon as I possibly can. MLG, I don't feel good about doing that. I don't want to disappoint you -- you know more than I do the kind of Pokemon you're looking for.

[Andrew]

Hm... I think I will ask Nidoking if we can help he destroy things too. Vicki, use your feminine charms.

If we are in trouble at any point, Vicki and OzMime, teleport us out.

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 7



Instead of doing what is to be expected, and trying to capture a seldom-seen Safari Zone Pokemon, Vikki wiggles over and puts on the charm. Fearing she is some sort of transpokesexual, Nidoking gives a roar and smashes into her with an iron tail, dealing good damage. Hurt, she assists Mr Mime in teleporting the two of you away from this part of The Old Village.

Arriving in a different area, you find an Exploud blasting a fog-horn like noise through the air. The large boisterous Pokemon stamps around angrily as an Elekid wanders around. You also see a Jigglypuff with a pair of Igglybuff singing pleasantly. A Magnemite cluster hover overhead.

[Andrew]

Let's find a store to take over, an empty one that is!

I have a plan to lure Pokemon to us!

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 8



You wander along, passing boarded up shops and telephone boxes. You spy an old glass-eye shop and enter it meekly, finding an eye rolling along. Mr Mime, Corsola and Jynx (who has sore ribs) all take their places as you stand behind the counter and execute the next phase of your plan.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

MH I really don't have an idea for now, I'm browsing. Just send me wherever.

[Chris 2.1]

Mega: use a randomiser to decide where MLG goes next.

[Andrew]

Corsola, clean the store with a gentle bubble! Focus on cleaning the floor.

Mr Mime, replace the windows with Light Screens! If you have fixed up the windows, use a gentle shockwave to get the electricity running again.

Vicki, I want you to also clean some more using Psychic, or use Rest to recover your wounds. It's up to you. ONce the store is clean, we can move onto the next stage!

I will also sweep before Corsola mops it out the door.

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 9



Corsola set to work spraying a light slew of bubbles across the floor, wetting it as you mopped it up. Vikki didn't feel the need to use rest yet so she used a psychic attack to sweep dust and grime (as well as a few eyeballs) out of the window frame which Mr Mime soon replaced.

What now?

The shrill screams of the ‘saur permeate the battle ground which only entice Cujo into a battle frenzy. The pup and his clones open their jaws and let-off a spray of golden stars that instantly zero in on the flaming cyclone. The cut through the heat and slash the unprepared Ivysaur harshly.

Ivysaur can hardly take any more and with his luck the twister dissipates leaving its charred occupant dizzy with pain. He blinks repeatedly as fire hounds stare him down. In his moment of confusion Cujo strikes with another Swift attack!

Bleeding now the grass type swings a wild vine at his opponent, only managing to delete a copy. He grunts in frustrating followed by a yelp of pain has Cujo ignites him with Flamethrower….

[Andrew]

Okay Team. Start to make a Sign!

Jynx! Use a Blizzard along with Corsola to etch out a large flat block of Ice.

Next, both use Ice Beams to write out "Help Center" on the ice Block

Finally, Mr Mime and Corsola PSychically Lift it up, and back down, whilst Jynx fires a Psychic to it to illuminate teh sign!

We'll go inside and wait after that.

[Blademaster]

I'm looking for a couple of Pokemon, but why just go get 'em at the Approval Tower when I can have some fun in the process?

(hands over 4 points)

Two Pokeballs, please!

I'm gonna take my Kirlia(F), Valentina, and my Combusken(M), Rawk Hawk, with me to the Grave's Yard. OK?

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 10



The Pokemon all band together to help create a large icy block. Jynx and Corsola blast letters onto it and Mr Mime helps lift it up and down. Jynx's psychic attack lights up the sign.

What will you do now?






Safari Zone Quest: Blademaster
Part 1



Welcome to the ASB Safari Zone! You pay at the desk and take Kirlia and Combusken with you to the mysterious Grave's Yard. You have 2 Pokeballs. You wander among the cold, cruel wasteland as the moon hangs in the air.

You can see a Pinsir angrily stamping the ground. You also notice a cluster of Gastly and Haunter gliding through the air. A Magneton blasts bolts of lightening down on a Sneasel, who runs along, exhausted.


What will you do?

[Phoenixsong]

Ngrah. I'd like to weaken him a LOT more, but he's already exhausted. Right.

Fire Blast ~ Great Ball

And that should hopefully do it.

[Andrew]

Let's go back inside to the store and wait for someone to come and visit.

Mr Mime, Meditate in the meantime and get your attack up.

Corsola, HArden up real good.

Jynx, you Meditate too.

[Blademaster]

I know what Pokemon I want; neither of them are in that list.

We keep looking. Rawk, Val, let's go.

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 11



The shop is set up. And it seems, depsite the guides chagrin at this controversial way to use the Safari Zone that some occupants are already keen to see what the fuss is about.

An Electabuzz and its two Elekid siblings burst in after seeing the flash of light. A cluster of Magnemite and Magneton also emerge onto the seen keenly. You also attracted the attention of a Lickitung and a Miltank.

What will you do?





Safari Zone Quest: Blademaster
Part 2



Carrying on, you make your way across the wasteland. A Poochyena darts along, completely ignoring you, as you see a Claydol hovering down towards the ground in the distance. It wedges itself into a crevice and seemingly goes to sleep. A small cluster of Baltoy circle it, creating a barrier.

A fleet of Murkrow cross the skies as a Mightyena prowls along.

What will you do?

[Chris 2.1]

There are now two new Safari Zones in accordance with the Diamond and Pearl intergration. These are visible by checking out the first post.

It is also worth noting Diamond and Pearl species can all be found in all of the current safari zone areas. Refs: you will be sent information on the new updates.

[Andrew]

I will have Corsola talk to the Electabuzz, and understand their problem. She's good at that sort of thing. Plus, if they try to attack her, I'll have her Mirror Coat it back at her.

Mr Mime, my main man, I want you to talk to the Magneton and Magnemite and find out what's going on with them. We can help them.

Jynx, you'll have to tell Miltank and Lickitung to wait for the time being, but still, take notes of their problems.

[Blademaster]

We're getting closer to what I'm looking for, but not quite there yet.

Rawk, Val, we keep going. Maybe if we follow that Mightyena, we'll find what we're looking for...

[Chris 2.1]

Safari Zone Quest: OzAndrew
Part 11



Corsola talks to the electric Pokemon, who explain they misunderstood the flash of light for an electrical output. Angered, Electabuzz swings a mega punch into Corsola who flies into the wall, her mirror coat not working on physical attacks. Irritated, the electric Pokemon leave.

Mime tries talking to the Magnet Pokemon but they seem to have come under the same pretence. The Magnemite release a thundershock on Mr Mime and the steel-types drift out of the door.

Lickitung and Miltank, it seems, have no particular problem. Jynx wonders what to do.


What will you do? I might like to take this time to point out you're totally wasting my time here.





Safari Zone Quest: Blademaster
Part 3



As you follow the Mightyena you see it enter a cave. Being logical you follow it, passing a flock of Zubat and Golbat that swoop down on you. You hear the precise clicking of a Pinsir but head on, following the wolf.

You emerge in a different part of the yard - you see a pack of Poochyena and Mightyena facing off against a group of Houndour and Houndoom. A turf war!

What will you do?

[Blademaster]

Arrrrgh...

We're circling all around the Pokemon I'm trying to find, guys! What gives?

...OK, OK, in order to find what we're looking for, we're gonna need a strategy.

Rawk, Val, we keep going once again... But this time, we look around for anything chaotic or disastrous - a thunderstorm, a swarm of Ghost Pokemon, this Hound-Hyena war, whatever we can find - where there's trouble, there's bound to be one of these guys.

And for the record, my apologies to our kind ref, who I'm sure must be getting bored by now...

[Andrew]

Chris - If I'm wasting your time, can I just get a refund then?

[Chris 2.1]

I guess you could, but what I meant was you might want to try a more conventional method of catching Pokemon. Your idea was clever, but I don't know that many Pokemon will be drawn towards your shop.

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'll go for a refund then.

[Chris 2.1]

Ok 10 points back to you.

[Andrew]

Sorry. It was fun, but I don't think I was looking more for catching Pokemon, as I was an adventure.

[Elec Man EXE]

Ok. I've got some points finally, and I've noticed that no one has taken up that little hint from the rules update a few weeks back. So I'll do just that, right now. I'm buying 2 Pokeballs, and heading out to Tranquil Shores with Polaron the Magnemite (ooh, steel AND electric ), as well as Atlas the male Pinsir. Paid for the balls here.

I'll be using my magnetic buddy to search the sand for treasure, while Atlas keeps a look out for any hostile pokemon.

[Phoenixsong]

I'll take you. Gimme a little time to edit the reffing in, and you can head off.

EDIT: Aaaand, here we go!

Elec Man EXE

The sun shines down upon your back as you step out of the Safari Zone jeep and onto the sandy shores of Tranquil… uh… Shores. Yeah. Releasing your Magnemite and Pinsir from their Poké Balls, you tell Polaron to search for interesting little trinkets in the sand while Atlas keeps a lookout. As Polaron searches, Atlas catches your attention and points out something crawling towards you from the nearby dunes. A little male Trapinch is creeping in your direction and snarling at the three of you; whether he means to attack or is just playing with you, you aren’t quite certain. You figure it might be a good idea to have Atlas shoo him away; before you can do so, however, you see his mother sleeping atop the dunes. The female Flygon looks elegant and peaceful as she naps in the brilliant sunlight, but you’re certain that the slightest distressed squeal from her little baby will have her up and rampaging around…

What will you do?

[Elec Man EXE]

Thank ye Phoenix.

Alright... we definately don't want to be messing with that Flygon guys, neither of you is a good match for it. Lets exit, stage away from the Flygon. Hopefully the little guy won't stray too far from his mother and will then leave us alone, but even if he does pursue Trapinch are pretty slow, so we ought to be able to keep pace ahead of him. Once we get to safety, we can resume our search for goodys and pokemon.

[Mega Horny]

MLG

You prance out to the Ffeffini mountain like a wee girl. You instantly trip over a Staravia, which squawks and flies off. A skarmory flies by as you walk up above the dense jungle that once contained you. The air is cold and crisp. Several bird Pokemon are flying off in the distance, and a Snorunt is looking up at you devilishly. It turns around and hobbles off towards the mountain.
