Dragonite in the middle of nowhere...
Post Body

First Reddit post ever so bear with me on this story:

Found it on a bus from Tung Chung back to Wan Chai around 8:30 pm today (14/08/2016).

The place was literally in the middle of nowhere; it was about 5 minutes after the bus departed from Tung Chung Mall and I remember spotting that there was a gym somewhere to the left of the motorway on my map just before it spawned and it wasn't even on my radar yet! I only kept my app open because I saw a dratini on my radar on the top left corner.

My sister who was right beside me unfortunately couldn't find it but she found very low CP Alakazam which she was definitely not interested in catching.

If anybody doesn't know yet there is an in-game mechanic where if you are in a vehicle going at a high speed almost all attempts at catching Pokemon will result in them breaking out of the pokeball thrown after two shakes and fleeing.

So I basically ended up having an intense staring contest with it while tapping on my pokeball repeatedly to prevent my phone from going back to the unlock screen...

Despite depleting my nice stock of precious ultra balls with countless break-outs, the fella followed me all the way back to Causeway bay despite having lost GPS signal TWICE going through tunnels and I caught it with a great ball.

TL;DR Found a dragonite in the middle of nowhere, had a staring contest and managed to catch it.
