"Roar," the Rhyhorn nodded, indicating that it was okay, and took the energy cube first.
Gary also took out two energy cubes for the Rhyhorn to eat as agreed.
After the Rhyhorn ate the energy cube, it continued to take Gary and Sabrina to find more Rhyhorns.
They soon came to the Rock Region. Along the way, they encountered two more Rhyhorns.
Unfortunately, they had ordinary potential, and Gary decided not to capture them.
"Roar!" After finding more than a dozen Rhyhorns, the Rhyhorn suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Gary asked in confusion.
"The Rhyhorn said that there are no other Rhyhorns here," Sabrina said.
Gary had hoped to find a Rhydon in the Safari Zone, but there were only a dozen Rhyhorns, which was a small number.
Gary was still a little unwilling to give up and asked tentatively, "Then is there a Rhydon nearby?"
"Roar! (There is one)," said the Rhyhorn.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was a Rhydon?" Gary was speechless. If he had known there was a Rhydon, he wouldn't have spent time looking for Rhyhorns.
Rhyhorn: ???
"You said you wanted to find Rhyhorns, and you didn't ask if there was a Rhydon. What does it have to do with me?"
"Then please take us to find Rhydon," Gary said, taking out three energy cubes and handing them to the Rhyhorn.
The Rhyhorn was not petty. After eating the energy cubes, it took Gary and the others to the Rhydon's activity area.
Gary was lucky. The Rhydon was active outside.
Seeing Gary and Sabrina riding the Rhyhorn, Rhydon didn't care and just basked in the sun.
```
[LV45 Rhydon♂/Quasi-Elite]
```
A Rhydon with quasi-elite potential!
Gary decided to capture this Rhydon.
After traveling for so long, it was the first time Gary encountered such a high-level wild Pokémon.
Gary jumped off the back of the Rhyhorn, walked to Rhydon, and said, "Rhydon, how about being my Pokémon?"
Rhydon opened its eyes, looked at Gary, and shook its head with disdain.
"Don't rush to refuse. Come with me, and I can help you become stronger. It must be boring for you to stay here alone," Gary said.
Rhydon was surprised when it heard Gary's words and didn't understand how Gary knew it would feel bored.
Gary thought so because of Rhydon's level.
This Rhydon's level is as high as 45. There are almost no Pokémon that can reach level 45 in the Safari Zone.
In addition, there is no suitable rival here. If Rhydon wants to reach level 45, it can only do so through diligent training.
In particular, there are a lot of rubble nearby. Gary thought these were the result of Rhydon's training.
"Roar!!"
Rhydon made a low growl.
"It asks you why it should believe you," Sabrina translated.
"You can follow me first and battle outside. If I win, you will be my Pokémon. If you lose, I can give you a Protector," Gary said.
Rhydon: "Roar???"
"It asked you what a Protector is," Sabrina said.
Gary: "...!"
Pokémon that need to evolve with evolutionary items, in the wild, don't know they have an evolutionary stage.
"A Protector is a prop specially developed by humans for Rhydon. When you wear it, you can evolve into a Rhyperior," Gary explained.
"Roar!" Rhydon was shocked. Hearing that it could evolve, it immediately agreed to Gary's request.
This wild Rhydon did not reject evolution. Evolution means becoming stronger. This deal was not a loss for Rhydon.
"Okay, then come in," Gary said, taking out a Safari Ball and throwing it at Rhydon.
Rhydon did not dodge at all. After the Safari Ball hit, it opened and took it in.
The Safari Ball shook on the ground three times and then stopped shaking.
According to the tasks issued by the system, the six Pokémon of the green team have all been gathered. All that is left is to evolve Pidgeotto into Pidgeot and Growlithe into Arcanine, and the task will be completed.
"Sabrina, do you have any other Pokémon to capture?" Gary asked.
He came to the Safari Zone to capture a Rhyhorn, but he didn't expect there was a Rhydon here, which saved Gary the trouble of breeding.
As for the battle with Rhydon outside, it is not easy to win. Blastoise can defeat Rhydon with one Hydro Pump.
Rhydon was also protected too well in the Safari Zone, and it didn't know that people could be deceitful. Now that it has been captured, how can it run away?
"No, there are no Pokémon I want to capture here, let's go," Sabrina said.
"Okay, let's go."
Gary didn't persuade much.
There are some rare Pokémon in the Safari Zone, but none of them have Psychic attributes, which Sabrina doesn't like.
There is a Dragonair and a Dratini in Dragon Valley, and they are mother and son, but the Safari Zone is not considered wild, and the rare Pokémon here are not allowed to be caught.
Even if Dragonair and Dratini are caught, the Pokémon League will ask them to release them.
Moreover, this Dragonair has lived for decades and has not evolved into Dragonite. Its potential should only be quasi-elite, which should be level 50.
If Gary's Pokémon attack together, he has a chance to defeat them, but fighting is not allowed in the Safari Zone. Gary will not be wanted for two pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Although Dragonite is a pseudo-legendary, it is too weak among pseudo-legendaries, far inferior to Garchomp and Salamence.
...!
Back to the reception hall of the Safari Zone.
"You only captured one Pokémon?"
When the Safari Ball passed through the conveyor belt machine, only one Poké Ball showed transmission, and the rest of the Pokémon were in the box, which surprised Tommy.
Ordinary people would not be satisfied if they did not use up all the 30 Safari Balls.
"We don't need many Pokémon, just capture one," Gary said.
"Then why don't you capture a few more Pokémon, beautiful lady?" Tommy asked.
"There are no Pokémon I want in there," Sabrina replied coldly.
Tommy was surprised. He didn't expect Sabrina to not even like any Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
Then, Gary and Sabrina came to the teleporter and called Professor Oak.
"Gary, why are you calling me again?" Professor Oak asked.
During this period, Gary contacted Professor Oak a little too frequently, which made Professor Oak a little uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, I captured a Rhydon in the Safari Zone and just teleported it to you. I need you to teleport it to me," Gary said.
"Rhydon, that's a very powerful Pokémon," Professor Oak exclaimed.
