If you speak with the receptionist to the left in the Pokéathlon Dome, you can compete in a Link
Pokéathlon with friends. Each player gets three Pokémon that will compete in four events. The player
with the highest combined score receives two medals.
Safari Zone
The Safari Zone is a location that becomes available as you progress through the story, where you can
capture Pokémon using Safari Balls in the Safari Game.
Safari Game

Speak to the receptionist at the Safari Game Counter. Select "YES" to pay the entry fee and play.
There are six Areas in the Safari Zone, and different Pokémon will appear in different Areas. Once
you've entered the tall grass and a Pokémon appears, throw a Ball and try to catch the Pokémon.
When you've used up all 30 Safari Balls, the Safari Game is over. If you'd like to end the game early,
select "RETIRE" from the menu or simply exit the Safari Zone.

Rearrange Areas
Once you've passed the Safari Warden's first test, eventually the Warden will present his second test.
You'll be able to customize the Areas in the Safari Zone, and arrange them as you like. The Pokémon
living in each Area are different, and different pairings can change the types of Pokémon that appear.
Object Arrangement
Once you've passed the Safari Warden's second test, eventually you'll be able to place objects in the
Safari Zone. The types of Pokémon that appear may vary depending on the type of object you place.
While you are playing the Safari Game, press
30 objects in one Area.
* If you move the Area using the Area Customizer while there are objects placed in it, all of the objects in the Area will be
removed.
