I decided before lots of necessary training for the Pokemon League, that I would spend some time to catch the Legendary Pokemon that were roaming through the region. I had encountered Entei a few times, and hit him for some damage, but not by much. I knew I would have to focus, and be careful, if I was going to catch these two.
I decided to fly to Blackthorn City, and go between the city and Route 45 to wait for the two Legendary Beasts to come my way. After some time, my effort was rewarded with an encounter with Entei. Lucas used Wing Attack for good damage, putting Entei in the yellow before he ran off.
I went between the city and the route a while more, before I decided to fly to Mahogany Town where the two Lions seemed to enjoy hanging around more. I went onto Route 42 and soon found Raikou, my first encounter with it so far. Lucas used Wing Attack and did good damage, but then Raikou ran off.
After a while, I encountered Raikou again, and another Wing Attack did good damage, before it ran off again. I soon encountered Raikou again, another Wing Attack for good damage that brought it to the yellow, and again it ran off. Oddly enough, during this time, I had difficulty finding Entei on the map at times.
I decided to fly to Ecruteak City and go between there and Route 37 to find the Lions again. I didn't have much luck at all after a while spent, so I went to the Ecruteak Pokemon Center to get my team some rest. Afterwards, I went down to Route 36 and found myself against Entei again. Lucas hit Entei with Wing Attack, and brought it to the red before it fled.
With Entei in the red, I considered switching over to Claire for Hypnosis, but knew if I came across Raikou that I would need a Pokemon to do minimal damage to it, take it down with bug bites so to speak. I wandered between Ecruteak City and Route 37 a bit longer and found Raikou again, and another Wing Attack did good damage before it fled.
I wandered a bit more before I saw Entei on the Route thanks to my Pokegear, and I switched to Claire before seeking it out. Claire managed to put it to sleep with hypnosis before it escaped (by sleepwalking I assume...) and I knew I'd have a great shot to capture it next time.
I switched back to Lucas and decided to save, then I wandered between city and road before I encountered Raikou again. Lucas hit it with Wing attack, and it stayed in the yellow before fleeing. I wandered around a bit more before I encountered Entei once more, and this time I tossed a Quick Ball that shook twice before it escaped and fled.
I knew a few more would catch Entei, but I would need to find it again. Fortunately it didn't take long before Entei (Fire, Lv. 40) returned, and this second Quick Ball caught him! Like previous Legendary Pokemon, I decided to leave it nameless, to respect it's status.
One Legendary Beast down, two more to go, and only one more I could catch currently. I kept at it, and soon enough came across Raikou again. Lucas hit Raikou with Wing Attack and it barely clung on with Wing Attack, just where I needed it. When it fled, I switched to Claire, and kept looking for Raikou.
Raikou was staying far away from Route 37 when I wandered, and I started to wonder if I should move on. I decided after a while to head to Violet City and move between the city and Route 32. It took me some time before I found Raikou again, but Claire missed with Hypnosis before it fled again.
I found Raikou again with a bit of effort, and this time Hypnosis put Raikou to sleep before it fled. I saved, then I kept on looking on Route 32, confident that I would soon have the second Legendary Beast in my collection! After some time of searching I encountered Raikou again, and I tossed a Quick Ball, and it failed immediately before Raikou fled.
I decided to fly to Blackthorn City because Raikou was staying at the eastern side of Johto, and then I saw it staying at the northern side. I wondered if maybe it was avoiding me, but I was determined to catch it!
After some time, I finally found Raikou again, but it escaped immediately before it fled again. Fortunately it wasn't much of a wait to find it again, but the next Quick Ball only shook once before it broke free and fled once more. I started to wondering how much effort it would take to catch this weakened, sleeping Pokemon, and if I had enough Quick Balls for the job.
I decided to fly back to Ecruteak City and move through Route 37 again, and after a while I found Raikou again, but it escaped the Quick Ball immediately and fled. After a long while, I found Raikou again on Route 37, and a single shake was all the Quick Ball could take.
I kept at it, and finally, FINALLY, I caught Raikou (Electric, Lv. 40) after a few more Quick Balls on Route 37. With both Pokemon caught, I decided to call it a day, I had worked hard to get these two and I thought my team could do with a break, myself included.
