Some time later, Red wakes to find a furious Pidgebot 1 berating him for breaking the rules, and informing him that they'll have no choice but to walk to the exit, since the Nidoking will probably be looking for him. In an attempt to keep him safe, it gives him a {{ball|Safari}}, which is the only Ball capable of capturing a Safari Zone Pokémon (besides the Nidoqueen which Red just caught, which Pidgebot 1 puts down to pure luck).

Red flings a rock at Nidoking to weaken, only succeeding in angering it further and forcing him to escape deeper into the Zone with the Pidgebot 1. Elsewhere, the Safari Zone staff have failed to locate Red, only succeeding in recovering the broken Pidgebot 2, while Red's Pokémon look on worriedly...

Still running from the Nidoking, Red is struck by a spurt of acid on his leg, and Pidgebot 1 bravely dives in to defend him, getting badly damaged in the process. In return, Red lures Nidoking away from Pidgebot 1, throwing a sharp rock into Nidoking's eye, briefly incapacitating it and allowing him flee into the Zone with Pidgebot 1. As night falls, Pidgebot 1 warns Red that Nidoking has now marked him as an enemy, to which Red expresses concern for the Pidgebot. Embarrassed, Pidgebot 1 reminds him that it's just a robot, programmed to make sure that he reaches the exit safely, and he should be thinking more about his own safety than that of a robotic guide. Noting that the Safari Zone would only get more dangerous as they continue, Pidgebot 1 suggests they form a strategy as opposed to blindly forcing their way, but Red is quickly captured by a {{p|Victreebel}}...
