Shiva, I forgot to give you 4 Trainer XP during your Safari Shenanigans. No matter what you do in the Safari Zone it's worth 2 additional trainer XP per encounter.


It is now Day 71.
It's a nice day! Tonight is supposed to be unseasonably cold, however, dropping to near-freezing temperatures.

Everyone who is doing the Safari Cup is invited to meet at the gate at 7:00am. Shiva had to get there a little early in preparation for her Ranger duties.
Ranger Hismo is officiating. "Does everyone know the rules? Starting at 7:30, you have 24 hours to gather yourself a team of Pokemon using just 20 Safari Balls."
Usually, that's 3 Encounters today, 10 hours of survival work and sleeping, then squeezing in 2 more Encounters in the morning before the Tournament portion. You can push yourself to go without sleep, but you'll accrue penalties. Energy drinks and napping areas are provided during breaks from the Tournament, so if you still have one Encounter for Day 72, you won't have any trainer penalties during the tourney.

Safari Balls work as Great Balls, 4 Seals.

"Your packs and permits are here. Please return them at the end of your Safari. You'll be assessed a fee for any unreasonable damages you incur to our equipment. If your tent catches fire, you better hope you win third place!" Laughter.

"Ordinary wear and tear is fine. Your food and water is included, or some choose to live off the land. You may not leave the Safari Zone, starting at 7:30. Each of you has a whistle; blow it if you have an emergency and need the Rangers. No fainting of Pokemon. I believe you're all familiar with the prizes, and the six Areas of the Safari Zone, so meet back here in half an hour!"

Make any last-minute preparations and let me know your first goal/Area! Rules:

For the Safari Cup, you may tell me you're seeking a Horde encounter, usually containing multiple members of a single evolutionary line.


Shiva, the Rangers get to sign up for 3 Areas they're going to work during the Cup, 6 hour shifts in each area + 1 nap. Ranger Hismo immediately signs up for Area 1, Area 3, and Area 3 again.
