----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you wander, searching for a new Safari Zone area, you come across one that appears rather...cold and wet. Pools of murky water are set beneath trees and between patches of tall grass, and you can hear Bug and Bird Pokemon sounding their buzzes and chirps. Tree-covered hills lie in the distance. A lodge sits to the front of you, and there is a signpost in front of it. The sign says "Welcome to Giant Swamp".
As you approach the lodge, a tall, thin man with glasses greets you.
"Hello, and welcome to the swamp!" he says. "I run the place around here. If you're looking to catch some Pokemon, here's an electronic guide detailing the prices of our facilities and the Pokemon you may find here, in addition to some other information."
You check the guide. It says:
The Giant Swamp is a place where many different Pokemon reside. Anyone is invited to come and catch some wild Pokemon at our facilities. These facilities are divided into several different areas, not all of which are open yet. Hidden Moves may be used in the facilities, as they may slightly increase your chance of finding a rare Pokemon. If you find an item or money in the facilities, you may keep it.
The price to explore is $5, and during that time, you may explore as many areas as you want. You may catch up to three Pokemon per expedition. You may rent a fishing rod for an extra $2 if you would like to catch the Pokemon in the water without using Surf. You may pass by any Pokemon that you don't want to catch, but the limit is 15 per $5.
