After making the necessary payments for the passes, a practically floating Nathan made his way to towards what his park map told him was the 'Highlands'. Thoughts of what interesting species he might encounter entertained him for some time, though the somewhat long hike to reach his destination made him bored.
"Might as well get you out sooner rather than later, you lazy oaf." the man smiled to himself as he released his oldest friend from his confines; A large Haxorus emerged with a lazy huff. "Oh, I'm sorry did I interrupt your nap?" he nudged the dragon in it's side before gesturing ahead. "C'mon, we're headed out to find some more friends for you and the others!"
A roaring response made Nathan laugh and shake his head. "Thought you might like that idea, so c'mon, they won't just fall into our lap, however much you'd like that."
A grunt and a roll of it's eyes told him that Edge was not amused at this jab at his laziness. "Alright, alright - You're not entirely lazy I suppose, you do get up to eat from time to time!" he'd made sure to walk faster than the lumbering Haxorus and was in a quick sprint as he finished his sentence, anticipating the angry outburst as the two chased off, closing in on their destination.
Soon after it started though, the chase became a jog, and the two kept each others company and enjoyed the silence instead of polluting such a lovely, sunny day. A light breeze blowing against them as if to present some sort of challenge. As they finally reached the Highlands, it seemed to change, as it's want to do, and stood at their backs, letting them survey the beautiful area with Nathan's jacket billowing forward.

"Well, we'll best get lookin'!" he eggsclaimed, patting Edge on an armored shoulder. With a deep grunt it huffed it's agreement, swaying it's head from side to side, while Nathan decided to seach further down the small hill they'd found themselves upon.
Spreading the branches and leaves of a bush, Nathan nearly stuck his head entirely inside it when he was met by a crude noise and the face of a displeased Larvesta, who quickly scrambled back inside the bush until it was merely glaring daggers at the startled trainer. "Well alright, I guess it's taken then!" he yelled, still startled by the slight adrenalin.
A distant roar caught his attention, turning to face the direction of the noise; his Haxorus waving its arms in his direction, making a rather hilarious display of trying to get Nathan's attention. "Should've named him Goofy at this point.. I'm coming! Stop flailing like that, you're not an Axew anymore!" he yelled back, pushing himself up from sitting on his haunches after that brief little fright.
"What could he possibly have found.. Silly Haxorus, should've used Diva for this, advantage of flight and all that.." Nathan mumbled while he climbed back up the hill, towards an impatiently waiting Haxorus who glared down at it's trainer. "Alright, what'd you fin-.. Oh!" his question stopped at the sight of the pokemon standing with them on the hill, an egg between it's webbed feet; A Ducklett.
"You uh.. You lost?" he asked the little thing apprehensively. "Is that yours? Do you.. Want me to have it?" confused at the whole situation at hand, Nathan sat down into a squat, extending a hand towards the pokemon, but instead of reached out to pick up its egg, and walk in a comically big circle around the human, only to place the egg at the feet of Edge, before uttering a quack, and waddling off.
"..Did that just happen? Did it just.." dumbfunded, the young man simply blinked, staring after the waddling Ducklett. "So uh, you want to give me that?" he pointed at the egg, but the Haxorus had already snatched it up, looking at it's trainer like a demon with a deal to make, closest thing to a grin on it's face. "Alright, fine - What do you want? Do you want to be excused? Had your exercise for the day?"
A pleased growl and a nod told Nathan that was exactly what his lazy excuse of a Haxorus wanted, and after a very odd exchange of egg for roost, Edge was back in his ball and Nathan now had another egg to carry. "Well, best start finding something else exciting to.. Hopefully catch, and not intrude upon this time, that'd be a plus."
Setting off down the hill, again, Nathan avoided the bush this time and went searching for further 'mons to possibly add to his team.

Nearing a selection of puddles, no doubt leftovers from a recent bit of rain, Nathan decided to rest, withdrawing a bottle from his bag to refresh himself. Wiping the few beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, he sat down to further pamper himself, opening the bag fully to reveal a packed lunch inside.
Leaning back to enjoy the weather in this unique place, largely untouched by civilization, the young man almost missed the Turtwig as it made a wide berth around him, before stopping on the other side of the puddles, tilting its head. "Oh, well.. Still not exactly what I'm after but I suppose, maybe?" he spoke to himself, observing the little 'mon.
After equally appraising the human at a distance, it uttered a sharp call and puffed itself up to release a small gust of sharp leaves, cutting across his hand and tearing fine lines in one of his favorite jackets. "Hey! What'd I do to you? You want some of my food? Well you're not getting it now, that's for sure!"
'Twig!' came the response, moments before it reared up again to lash out with another spray of sharp leaves, this time prepared, Nathan managed to shield himself with his bag, now littered with leaves and tears.
"That does it, let's see how you fair against someone your own size!" he yelled, jumping to his feet and releasing from his belt Sting, his Skrelp, who made quick work of jumping into the puddle nearby before uttering what could best be described as a gurgling hiss at the opposing Turtwig.
"Sting, use Aqua Tail!" came the rapid response from Nathan, glaring daggers at the little Turtwig who seemed adamant to get him off of what he could only assume it considered it's territory.
Immediately the Skrelp spun about to whirl its tail at the surface of the water, sending it crashing towards the Turtwig, who understandably looked a little rattled, but now even more annoyed than before, and largely unphased from such a stupid move. It spent no time before it retaliated with a spray of absorbing spores, that clung to Nathan's poor Skrelp for dear life as they died, transfering health back to their host.
Watching the gruesome, but ultimately less so in reality, event unfold before him, Nathan gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Alright, it's not one to scare easily, then I suppose we're done playing nice. Sting, use Sludge Bomb!"
With the type-advantage, this was sure to hurt. The glob of vicious goo flew straight for the Turtwig's face, a fight sizzle was briefly heard as it burned it's skin and sickened the little Grass-type. It made another load yell, attempting to stand up again before it collapsed, fainting.
"You okay?" he knelt down to examine Sting, splasing a bit of muddy water from the puddle onto it, making sure all the absorb spores were washed away before he offered it's pokeball to it. "You should get some rest." he managed to tell it before it uttered a happy series of calls, nudging against his knee and retreating back inside it's home.

Still plucking leaves from his bag and off his sleeves, Nathan muttered angrily to himself for having even taken that fight to begin with, it was simply trying to protect it's territory. But done is done, he thought, making his way further into the Safari Highlands. "I can see why they don't just let everyone waltz in here, this place is gorgeous!"
He'd reached a large flat area with rolling highs and lows, covered by various vegetation and small rocks. Letting out a whistle of sheer admiration for its beauty, Nathan almost missed the scurrying Cyndaquill as it ran between the rocks not far from him. Debating with himself whether to engage or let it go, he watched it eventually disappear behind a rather large rock, and not come out.
If he'd want to do anything regarding that 'mon, it'd have to be now. But the young man simply shook his head. "I'd better not invade it's privacy like that last one, certainly not when its not aggressive.." he spoke to himself, like he usually did before he went out in search for other 'mon.

PASSING ON SHIELDON, RESPAWN SAFARI HIGHLANDS
At first mistaking the oddly shaped rock for just that; a rock - Nathan made no move to avoid it, and so walked close by the Shieldon, perhaps a little bit too close for comfort, as the smaller pokemon exclaimed loudly and took a small leap forward to mark it's territory. "Wh-whoah!, hey now!" Nathan scampered backwards in shock more than anything, his arms held up like a boxer out of sheer reflex.
"..Oh, hey, let's not get aggressive now.. I'm just passing by.." he kept his voice calm, opening his hands as he tried to circle past the Shieldon, it's watchful eyes glaring at him, turning slowly as he did, always keeping it's front turned towards him, but never making a move.
"Thaaat's it, juuust passing through.. As you were!" he made haste out of it's vicinity, moving on at a brisk pace, making sure to search somewhere else than the field of rocks and outcrops, instead trekking up a small rise nearby, hoping for a better vantage point.

CATCH ATTEMPT: JANGMO-O,
RESPAWN SAFARI HIGHLANDS IF SUCCESFUL
From his new vantage point, Nathan had a much better scope of exactly where he was and where he'd already been, and as such made a mental map to work back around towards the original hill him and Edge had originally been on when they encountered that Ducklett. Making his way back down the hill on the opposite side, careful not to slip on loose dirt or slippery grass, the young man made his descend towards a particular dry area, the grassy patches on the hill became sparse, and soon gave way to dirt and harsh rocks, though nothing like the small 'henge' he'd left behind over on the other side of the mound.
Pulling a water bottle from his backpack, he refreshed himself while taking in the harsh beauty of it all; a rough bit of landscape amidst this bountiful sea of grassy hills and rocky 'gardens'. The Jangmo-O 'playing' amongst themselves and challenging eachoth- Jangmo-O!?
A jolt went through him, this was why'd come here, bought the ticket and stuck around, he'd found one! nearly chocking on the rejuvenating liquid, Nathan spat it out and quickly reached for his pokebálls stuck to his waist, immediately yelling out to catch the attention of a lonesome Jangmo-O "Hey, how about a real challenge?" he'd read somewhere that these dragon types were competitive, which was exactly what he was counting on.
As he released his Trapinch from her confines within the ball, the dragon type wasted no time, rushing towards the trainer and this new opponent, head lowered and ready to deliver a Headbutt straight at the unsuspecting pokemon. "Chomps!" Nathan barely registered the move before it hit, sending his Trapinch toppling backwards, rolling over herself twice before she reared back up and snapped her massive jaws at the challenger.
"Let's answer in kind, Chomps; Mud shot! Hinder it's movement!" and little Chomps did just that, taking a massive chunk of the dirt around her into her mouth, she spat it back at the opposing dragon with the force of a small geyser, covering it in thick mud.
Visibly annoyed by this, the Jangmo-O stomped it's feet, trying to remove the mud from off of its body, though its sectioned scales made it hard, the mud clinging to every crevasse and nook in it's armor. With a snarl, it reared back it's head before letting out a Noble Roar, and sluggishly 'jogging' towards a momentarily unnerved Trapinch, spinning around to whack it's Dragon Tail towards it's adversary.
"Now Chomps; Crunch, bite onto it's tail!"
Without much thought, Chomps opened her vice-like jaws and snapped them shut around the Jangmo-O's incoming tail, receiving a loud screech in return as the dragon now struggled to free its tail, roaring and hissing as it fruitlessly yanked at it's tail.
"Nice! That's it, just hold it!" the young man exclaimed, barely able to contain his excitement, his fingers shaking as he went for an empty ball, wrapping them around it firmly to calm himself as he drew in a sharp breath, the Jangmo-O struggling in a tug-o-war with what might as well have been a bear trap! With a final breath, Nathan threw the ball at the dragon-type, holding his breath once it connected and engulfed the silhouette entirely, before snapping shut and rocking back and forth on the ground.
