Pokemon Black - Lacunosa Town, the Great Chasm, and Catching Kyurem

I decided that this day I would explore the last few areas of Unova before I would move on to the Kalos region.

I started out by exploring Lacunosa Town, a lively place where everyone was out and about on this crisp winter day. As I talked with the citizens, one of the children told me something disturbing, that a scary monster comes out of a big hole at night, and so everyone stays inside when it gets dark.

I found an old woman who told me an old story of Lacunosa Town. She told me that there's a great hole at the back of the town, and that it was created long ago by a huge meteor. She told me that a monster was hiding inside the meteor, and that people say the monster appeared in the village at night, bringing a cold wind as it stole away people and Pokemon. To protect themselves, the villagers built big walls to keep the monster out and made a rule that no one could go out after dark.

She finished by saying that while nobody believes in this story anymore, the all still stay inside after dark. She thought it was strange, but figured that old stories and old traditions have some influence on current life. I decided I would see if there was any truth to this story, and if so see if this monster was still around to terrorize the citizens.

I went through Route 13 and got into several battles, Nora grew to Level 81, and I got TM89 (U-Turn) after I helped a Wingull before I found my way to the start of the Great Chasm. The area consisted of several hills leading to a small crater-like area with a cavern. I went into the cavern, and saw the real crater that had come from the impact of the meteorite. I used one of the many Max Repels I had loaded up on, and went to the left so I could go around towards the crater.

I snagged a couple Star Pieces, a Tiny Mushroom, a Comet Shard, and then I went down the crater and through a doorway. I saw a lot of fog, and as I stepped through I found myself out of the cavern and in a forest behind the town. I found a Max Elixir, a Max Revive, a Revive, a Full Heal, a Carbos, TM13 (Ice Beam), and TM03 (Psyshock) before I found my way out of the maze-like Forest and finally found the center of the forest.

I found the center of the chasm, a small crater where the meteorite fell, and as I looked at it snow and cold blew in, and suddenly I was in the middle of a snowy field, after the snow filled up the chasm. I went north until I found stairs leading the a large cavernous opening, and inside the cave I found the monster they spoke of in the story.

Standing before me was Kyurem (Dragon/Ice, Lv. 75) and I could tell why the stories referred to it as a scary monster. I wasn't sure how long it had been there, or if/why it ever stole away people and Pokemon, but I was about to have it for my collection of Pokemon. I didn't need to battle it at all, because I still had my Master Ball! With a throw of the Master Ball, Kyurem was caught, and I left the cave to find myself back at the forest.

I flew back to Lacunosa Town, and healed my team, then I made plans to continued exploring Unova to see the last of it and be done with my activities in the region.

Current Team:

Mason (Zebstrika, Electric, Lv 81)
Arthur (Simisage, Grass, Lv. 81)
