Baoba/Manga/PA

Baoba is the warden of the Kanto and Johto Safari Zones.

In this chapter, he is unnamed and referred to simply as the Safari Warden. He owns a robotic called Pidgebot which accompanies  when he decides to play the Safari Game. After Red breaks the rules by catching a Safari Zone Pokémon with a normal Poké Ball, Baoba has to look for Red. He only does so in the next morning, and collapses in shock when Red shows Baoba his Safari Balls, all with Pokémon in them.

Baoba, still unnamed, makes a cameo appearance in this chapter, seeing the stalling Team Rocket airship fly past Fuchsia towards Vermilion.

In Epilogue, he makes a cameo appearance in one of the ships heading to the.

Baoba is finally named when he appears in this chapter, opening Johto's new Safari Zone near Cianwood. Team Rocket General Petrel was able to disguise as Baoba to break free of who had battled him there and was about to silence him.
