Enter the Safari Zone.
The first thing you see is a patch of green grass, and you can see many Pokémon walking on the grass. These Pokémon also noticed Gary and Sabrina, but they all looked like they didn't care about the Contest Condition.
The Safari Zone has existed for many years, and the Pokémon living here also know the rules of the Safari Zone. If a Pokémon wants to go with the Trainer, there is no need to struggle, just be captured by the Poké Ball.
In fact, most Pokémon in the Safari Zone hope to be captured.
Because people who can come here to capture Pokémon have some money at home, follow humans, and eat and drink well.
Over time, these Pokémon are also very smart, and have developed the ability to observe words and expressions, and know what kind of people look rich and what kind of people are poor.
And the Pokémon here basically don't welcome Trainers, because Trainers use Pokémon to fight.
Although Pokémon can fight, it doesn't mean they are willing to fight, after all, fighting will get hurt.
Gary and Sabrina were dressed like Trainers, so these Pokémon were not enthusiastic when they saw them.
"Moo~!"
"Moo!"
"Moo...!"
The mooing continued all day, and the ground began to shake. A group of Tauros came from afar and ran wildly on the grass.
"Oh! Tauros."
Gary was very surprised. He didn't expect to meet Tauros so soon after entering the Safari Zone.
In the first version, Tauros with the Intimidate Ability was the god of the first version, because there was no distinction between physical attack and special attack in the first generation, and Intimidate was a TO-level Ability.
In addition, Tauros' speed was 110, and physical attack was 100, which was definitely an excellent value in the first version.
"Moo...!"
When these Tauros saw Gary and Sabrina, they still had no intention of stopping and kept rushing forward.
Gary and Sabrina immediately made way. As they passed by, the Tauros glanced at them, their eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of expectation.
However, the Tauros just looked at them and continued to run straight ahead.
"These Tauros were looking at us just now, did you see that, Sabrina?" Gary asked.
"Yes, they want to be captured by us," Sabrina said.
Gary was shocked.
He knew that there were Pokémon here who wanted to be captured, but he didn't expect these Tauros to be so proactive.
Thinking about it carefully, every time Ash wanted to capture other Pokémon, these Tauros would suddenly rush over and block Ash's Safari Ball. Every time it was a coincidence, it was obvious that the Tauros did it on purpose.
It seems that Ash was able to capture 30 Tauros because these Tauros wanted to be captured, so they kept wandering around Ash.
"Then we have to be careful when we capture Pokémon," Gary reminded.
These Tauros were left to Ash to capture, as he had no interest in Tauros.
Gary and Sabrina continued to walk deeper into the grassland of the Safari Zone. It didn't take long for Gary to find his target Pokémon in just a quarter of an hour.
On the grass, the Rhyhorn covered in gray armor was walking, occasionally lowering its head to eat a few bites of grass.
[LV20 Rhyhorn/Normal]
"Gary, look, it's an Rhyhorn." Sabrina pointed at the Rhyhorn and said, she knew that Gary was going to capture the Rhyhorn.
"This one is not very good." Gary shook his head slightly. The Rhyhorn with ordinary potential could not evolve into Rhydon and had no value as a breeder.
Rhyhorn can only evolve to Rhydon at level 42. For Pokémon with normal potential, it can only grow to level 40 at most, it can only grow to level 40, which is 2 levels short of the evolution level requirement.
Sabrina didn't say anything. After traveling with Gary for so long, Sabrina found that Gary's judgment of Pokémon's potential was very accurate, and he could almost determine the potential of a Pokémon at a glance.
Sabrina attributed Gary's sharp eyesight to Professor Oak. After all, Gary grew up with Professor Oak and knew Pokémon very well.
"Let's go and talk to Rhyhorn." Gary said.
Although this Rhyhorn has low potential, it doesn't mean that this Rhydon doesn't know other Rhydons.
"Hello, Rhyhorn." Gary stepped forward and greeted him.
Rhyhorn just glanced at Gary, ignored him, and continued to walk slowly.
Seeing that the Rhyhorn ignored him, Gary didn't care. He took out two green energy cubes and put them in front of the Rhyhorn.
The Rhyhorn stopped and looked at the energy cubes in front of him. Although he didn't know what they were, the Rhyhorn could smell that the energy cubes had a very fragrant smell.
"Come and try it."
Gary handed the energy cubes to the Rhyhorn.
The Rhyhorn was not polite and ate it directly, because many people who came here would use food to seduce the Pokémon here to facilitate the capture.
"Roar...!" After the energy cubes were eaten, the Rhyhorn's pupils widened a lot. It was the first time for it to eat such delicious food.
"Do you want more?" Gary asked.
"Roar." The Rhyhorn nodded. Such a small amount of energy cubes was not enough to satisfy his appetite.
Gary took two more energy cubes for the Rhyhorn to eat. Obviously, such a small amount of food was still not enough.
"Rhyhorn, if you still want it, you have to do me a favor." Gary said.
"Roar." Food can make a cow work, and the Rhyhorn's indifferent attitude just now disappeared, turning into a real cow licking.
"The favor I want you to do for me is very simple, help me meet other Rhyhorn here, and I will give you two energy cubes for each one I meet." Gary said.
"Roar." The Rhyhorn looked up and thought for a while, agreed to Gary's conditions, and turned his body sideways to Gary.
"Do you mean for me to sit on it?" Gary asked.
"Roar!"
The Rhyhorn nodded.
The Rhyhorn can be ridden, because of its wide body, the riding process is very stable, and even many regions will hold Rhyhorn races.
Gary and Sabrina sat on the Rhyhorn.
The Rhyhorn ran at a very uniform speed, with almost no bumps. The edges and corners of its armor can be used as handles, and it is also very stable to sit on.
"Moo!"
"Moo~...!"
Soon after, a group of Tauros rushed over and passed by here deliberately. However, these Tauros found that Gary and Sabrina were on the Rhyhorn, and they immediately showed disappointment, turned around and left here quickly.
Not long after, the Rhyhorn carried Gary and Sabrina to a forest, where there was an Rhyhorn.
[LV21 Rhyhorn♂/normal]
This Rhyhorn also has ordinary potential, and Gary will definitely not tame it.
"Let's find the next one." Gary said.
