==Synopsis==
==Plot==
{{Adv|Red}} tries to escape from a Victreebel. The Victreebel sets Red upon a tree branch when {{p|Pidgey}} robot guide appears to help Red out of his situation. They use the [[PokéFlute]] and [[Pokédoll]] to distract the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}} from eating Red for the [[evolution]] ritual. After escaping, Red bumps in to the Nidoking that he had fought earlier and catches the Victreebel that was fighting Nidoking. He then uses it to battle Nidoking, using {{m|PoisonPowder}} on it, and captures it as well. Still, many more Pokémon are after them.
{{spoilers}}
Elsewhere in the {{ci|Fuchsia}} {{safari|Kanto}}, the Safari Zone personnel have mounted a search party for {{adv|Red}}, but have not yet succeeded in finding him. Worriedly, [[Pika]] cries out for its Trainer.


The next day, the old man and [[Pika]] find Red's cap where suddenly many Pokémon appear. Red is among them, which turns out to be Red's newly caught Pokémon.
As the {{p|Victreebel}} that captured Red moves deeper into the Zone, it is revealed that Red had not been swallowed, but simply bound by Victreebel's tendril. Red is shocked to discover a whole group of {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Weepinbell}}, and Victreebel, just before he is lined alongside a gathered group of other victims of Victreebel. Perching next to him, Pidgebot 1 explains to Red that he was captured for the Flycatchers's [[evolution]] ritual, and he was needed as nourishment for the Pokémon, so he wasn't immediately eaten. Red futilely tries to break free; a gesture that the Pidgebot admonishes, prompting Red to agree to a strategic approach. As Red pores through his inventory, Pidgebot 1 comes up with an idea.
 
As the evolution ritual begins, and the Victreebel begin to drain their victims for nutrients, Pidgebot 1 flies off with Red's [[Poké Flute]] and blows it, waking up the entire group of Flycatcher Pokémon. At the same moment, Red flings his [[Poké Doll]], successfully distracting the Victreebel enough to make his getaway. Reviewing their strategy, Pidgebot 1 indicates concern that the Flute might have awoken other wild Pokémon, and sure enough the two {{p|Nidoking}} Red earlier encountered make their appearance. Quickly, Red heads back to the tribe of Victreebel, causing the two groups to clash over Red, and in the ensuing fight Red reveals his strategy of getting Nidoking to weaken Victreebel for capture. Succeeding in capturing one of the Victreebel, Red uses it to fight Nidoking—by tying up Nidoking with vines and weakening it with Victreebel's {{m|PoisonPowder}}, Red manages in catching the Drill Pokémon. However, the other Pokémon quickly notice him.
 
The next day, the search party and Pika find their way into Victreebel territory, discovering Red's cap just as ferocious Pokémon surround them from all sides. To their surprise, Red appears atop one of the Nidoking, and much to the Safari Zone warden's disbelief, he reveals that he had caught all the Pokémon before the group during the night.

Elsewhere in the Fuchsia Safari Zone, the Safari Zone personnel have mounted a search party for Red, but have not yet succeeded in finding him. Worriedly, Pika cries out for its Trainer.

As the Victreebel that captured Red moves deeper into the Zone, it is revealed that Red had not been swallowed, but simply bound by Victreebel's tendril. Red is shocked to discover a whole group of Bellsprout, Weepinbell, and Victreebel, just before he is lined alongside a gathered group of other victims of Victreebel. Perching next to him, Pidgebot 1 explains to Red that he was captured for the Flycatchers's evolution ritual, and he was needed as nourishment for the Pokémon, so he wasn't immediately eaten. Red futilely tries to break free; a gesture that the Pidgebot admonishes, prompting Red to agree to a strategic approach. As Red pores through his inventory, Pidgebot 1 comes up with an idea.

As the evolution ritual begins, and the Victreebel begin to drain their victims for nutrients, Pidgebot 1 flies off with Red's Poké Flute and blows it, waking up the entire group of Flycatcher Pokémon. At the same moment, Red flings his Poké Doll, successfully distracting the Victreebel enough to make his getaway. Reviewing their strategy, Pidgebot 1 indicates concern that the Flute might have awoken other wild Pokémon, and sure enough the two Nidoking Red earlier encountered make their appearance. Quickly, Red heads back to the tribe of Victreebel, causing the two groups to clash over Red, and in the ensuing fight Red reveals his strategy of getting Nidoking to weaken Victreebel for capture. Succeeding in capturing one of the Victreebel, Red uses it to fight Nidoking—by tying up Nidoking with vines and weakening it with Victreebel's PoisonPowder, Red manages in catching the Drill Pokémon. However, the other Pokémon quickly notice him.

The next day, the search party and Pika find their way into Victreebel territory, discovering Red's cap just as ferocious Pokémon surround them from all sides. To their surprise, Red appears atop one of the Nidoking, and much to the Safari Zone warden's disbelief, he reveals that he had caught all the Pokémon before the group during the night.
