Pokemon Black - Catching Virizion

Before I started in Pinwheel Forest, I decided to head back to Nimbasa City to do some training, and there Madelyn grew to Level 39. I handed Cole the Lucky Egg to help his training, and then I went back to Nacrene City to make my way to Pinwheel Forest.

I made my way along the path, and grabbed TM22 (Solar Beam) and pocketed it before I continued on my way. As I headed through, I also found a Hyper Potion, and soon I found myself in the Rumination Field.

I saved the game, and then I started the battle with Virizion. I sent out Mason against Virizion, and he got hit by Giga Drain for great damage before he countered with Thunderbolt for minor damage. I switched over to Cole, and Virizion used Giga Drain for good damage and healed the damage Mason did. I had Cole use Strength for great damage, after he was hit by Retaliate for good damage.

It appeared that Virizion had great defense, and I wasn't sure about trying a Fire-Type attack. Cole got hit by Sacred Sword for great damage, and he countered with Rock Smash for good damaged with pushed Virizion into the yellow. Virizion failed with Helping Hand next, and I had Cole strike with another Rock Smash which pushed the Legendary Pokemon into the yellow.

I switched over to Mason, who got hit by Sacred Sword, but he hung on only to be knocked out by Retaliate before I could have him use Thunder Wave. I sent out Madelyn next, and while she took a couple blows I revived Mason and healed him up. I thanked Madelyn for being my shield, and I sent out Mason again, who took some damage but was able to land Thunder Wave to paralyze Virizion.

I sent Arthur out, and then I started using my Ultra Balls to try catching Virizion. The first Ultra Ball did nothing, the second shook three times but Virizion managed to escape, and then Arthur was knocked out. I switched over to Nora, and continued tossing Ultra Balls.

The third Ultra Ball did nothing, but Virizion couldn't counterattack because of paralysis. The fourth shook three times, but Virizion refused to be caught, and the fifth one shook once, but Virizion did nothing in the attempt at Helping Hand. The Sixth Ultra Ball failed instantly, and then Nora was hit by Sacred Sword for great damage.

I kept at it with the Ultra Balls, seven more all failed before Nora was knocked out by Giga Drain and Virizion brought itself back to yellow health. I sent Madelyn back out there, and had her heal up with Roost while Virizion was stopped by paralysis. I knew I couldn't attempt a Flying-Type attack, so I just tried with another Ultra Ball before Madelyn got hit by Sacred Sword for great damage.

I switched to Mason, who attacked with Spark for great damage, which left Virizion deep in the yellow but outside of the red. I knew it's health was too low to attempt another attack, so I decided to continue with Ultra Balls. I tossed a pair of Ultra Balls and both failed, then Mason barely clung on after getting hit by Giga Drain which healed Virizion again.

I sent out Madelyn once more, and I tossed another couple Ultra Balls before Giga Drain was used to heal Virizion and bring it to green health once more. I took a risk with Aerial Ace, and it did massive damage which knocked out Virizion.

I reloaded my game, and tried again, frustrated at yet another Legendary Pokemon that refused to be caught. I started out with Cole this time, and he got hit by Giga Drain for good damage before he countered with Flame Charge for massive damage, leaving Virizion in the yellow. Virizion attacked again with Giga Drain for good damage, before Cole countered with Strength for great damage which left Virizion deep in the red.

I switched out to Mason, and he got hit by Sacred Sword for great damage, before he countered with Thunder Wave to leave Virizion paralyzed. I started using Ultra Balls again, and the first did nothing, and Mason was hit by Retaliate which put him in the yellow. I tossed two Ultra Balls and both failed, then Virizion used Giga Drain to heal a bit and knock out Mason.

I switched out to Cole, then I tried another Ultra Ball, and finally Virizion (Grass/Fighting, Lv. 42) was caught! I had Madelyn fly us to Mistralton City so I could heal my team, and get ready for the trek through Twist Mountain. My next Badge awaits beyond the mountain, and I am eager to continue my journey.
