Pokemon SoulSilver - Safari Zone

With my sixth Gym Badge in my collection, and just two more ahead of me, I decided to take a short break. I flew around the Johto region, grabbing several Apricorns, then I went to Kurt to get some Pokeballs before giving him several more Apricorns to make more. After that, I flew over to Cianwood City and went west to reach the Safari Zone.

I had to fight through several Trainers to make it there, and Samuel and Blake both grew to Level 31. I admit after Seth and Claire were both knocked out by the Trainers along the path, I found myself getting angry; I was just trying to get to the Safari Zone, free and open to all Trainers, and yet I had to fight my way through these people to get the 'privilege' of catching rate Pokemon.

I got to the Safari Zone Gate, and found a Pokemon Center to heal my team and revive Seth and Claire. I checked out a couple stalls nearby, then I went inside. I met up with Baoba near the entrance, and asked what I thought of the place. He offered me to take the Owner Aptitude Test, and I decided to try it.

Baoba explained how the test worked, telling me I just needed to catch a Geodude at the Safari and show it to him. I went around in the grass near the building for quite a while before I finally found a Geodude (Male, Rock/Ground, Lv. 17), and I tossed it a Bait before it fled. I had to run around a while longer before I found one, and after a few Pokeballs, a single Bait, and a bit of Mud, I finally caught it. I put it in my team and showed it to Baoba, and he was pleased.

Baoba told me I passed the first test, then revealed that there was a second test. He told me I would have to wait a little while for it, because he was working on it. He said he would contact me when the next test was ready to go, so I left to put Geodude back in the PC and wait for the call. I knew whatever this test was, it was going to be interesting.
