Pokemon Black - Catching Tornadus, and Training for the Elite Four

I put Zach at the head of my team, and went to a Gate to check the electronic bulletin board for storms, and I soon found that one was happening on Route 5. I went there and soon encountered Tornadus, and I had Zach use Slash to push him to the yellow after he did some damage while heading to Victory Road.

I decided to save the game, and keep going in and out of battles and a nearby food truck to lure Tornadus back to Route 5. Soon we faced off again, and I knew I couldn't do any more damage without knocking him out, so I just focused on using Quick Balls to catch him. My first Quick Ball looked like it would catch him right off the bat, but he escaped at the last minute.

I kept moving in and out of the food truck to lure Tornadus back to Route 5, then another Quick Ball failed almost immediately to catch the Legendary Pokemon. I had hoped he'd be caught immediately like Terrakion had, but it would be a struggle just like any other Roaming Pokemon.

Another encounter, another failed attempt with a single shake. It was at this time I decided to switch Zach out for Mason, who could paralyze Tornadus with Thunder Wave. Mason managed to hit it with Thunder Wave, and it left paralyzed. I had hoped this would make it a lot easier to catch him.

I soon encountered Tornadus again, but the next Quick Ball failed immediately. I kept this up for a time, and I ran out of my Quick Balls. I considered going to buy more, but thought I'd keep trying Ultra Balls, though after a while of Tornadus keeping away I decided to go ahead and buy more Quick Balls.

I encountered Tornadus again, another Quick Ball getting so close, then he fled. I kept at it a while longer, and FINALLY Tornadus (Flying, Male, Lv. 40) was mine!

After all that, I decided to go back to Nimbasa City to start my training for the Elite Four. I knew my team was strong, but they needed to be even more powerful to take on the Elite Four, and perhaps N if it came down to that. I had already done training the night before, and gotten Madelyn and Arthur both to Level 51.

The Small Court was currently occupied with a game, but the Big Stadium was open, and I went inside to do more training. Through a few battles, Cole grew to Level 52, and a couple others gained some experience. The opponents were keeping around Level 41, but with the Lucky Egg I could still get some decent training with them anyway.

I'll be spending the next few days training, getting my team stronger and stronger, and soon I would face the Elite Four and take my place as Champion of the Unova League.
