==History==

[[File:Black Brav Rufflet.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Rufflet]]

{{adv|Black}} first met Brav when he was only five years old and Brav was still a {{p|Rufflet}}. Wanting to enter the [[Pokémon League]] one day, Black, {{adv|Cheren}}, and {{adv|Bianca}} went out into the tall grass to find a wild Pokémon. Bianca accidentally stepped on Rufflet's food, angering the Eaglet Pokémon into attacking her. Black discovers the problem and gives Rufflet a [[Berry]], allowing them to escape. Black later decides he is going to catch him based on how powerful he was.

Brav was first seen in ''[[PS462|Choices]]'' with Black and Musha. When Black went to rescue a runaway {{p|Tepig}}, he used Brav to scout him out and attack a wild {{p|Sewaddle}}.  

In ''[[PS464|Black's First Trainer Battle]]'', Brav, along with Musha and [[Tep]], were used against {{tc|Hiker}} Andy, where they managed to defeat his three Pokémon in a [[Triple Battle]]. Brav was used to help Black find out a way to stop the fire that Andy's {{p|Cottonee}} had accidentally started. Brav is [[PS467|later]] used against {{adv|N}} in [[Accumula Town]] where he battles his {{p|Gurdurr}}.  

Brav was later used in Black's Gym battle against [[Burgh]] in ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]''. Brav was sent out first against Burgh's {{p|Whirlipede}} and easily defeated it. He then went up against Burgh's {{p|Dwebble}}, who quickly defeated Brav due to the type advantage and the poison that Whirlipede inflicted upon him.

In ''[[PS480|At Liberty on Liberty Garden]]'', Black encounters some {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s hurting a {{p|Victini}}. Seeing this, he orders Brav to attack {{p|Gothitelle}}, but Gothitelle simply slithers away. Victini soon reaches its limit, and starts to fall from the sky. The leading Grunt commands Gothitelle to faint it with the slightest touch, but Brav shields itself in front of Victini just as Gothitelle's attack is about to hit. The leading Grunt snickers at Black's hypocritical strategy, but in the next moment, Brav suddenly gains strength and manages to strike Gothitelle with an {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Black finds out through his [[Pokédex]] that Victini must have channeled its unlimited energy to Brav. Then, upon Black's command, Brav knocks Gothitelle out with {{m|Brave Bird}}.

Brav was [[PS508|later]] returned to Black and in ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'' he was used in Black's Gym battle against [[Drayden]] and his {{p|Druddigon}}. Brav was easily outmatched by Druddigon's power and Black's hesitancy to give commands. Right when Brav was about to be defeated Black got inspired by the other Gym Leaders and ordered Brav to attack with Air Slash, winning him the battle.

In ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'', Black used Brav in his battle against [[Iris]] and her {{p|Fraxure}} in the semifinals of the Pokémon League. Fraxure slams Brav's face with an {{m|Iron Tail}}, which forced Black to have Brav go into the air to avoid direct contact. Having no choice, Black has Brav dive headfirst at Fraxure and attack with Brave Bird. However, Fraxure manages to catch Brav as it crashes into it. Iris then reveals that Fraxure has gained a lot of [[experience]] from the various battles it had and Brave Bird finally gave it the last bit it needed to evolve into its final form, {{TP|Iris|Haxorus}}. Due to the [[recoil]] effect of Brave Bird as well as Brav being trapped in Haxorus's arms, Black recalls Brav back into his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Brav was used in the next battle against Cheren and his {{p|Unfezant}} in ''[[PS518|True Friends]]''. Both Pokémon attacked with {{m|Sky Attack}}, with Brav coming out as the winner. In the battle against [[Ghetsis]] in ''[[PS523|The Power of Dreams]]'', Brav also helped Musha against his {{p|Cofagrigus}}, defeating it.

In ''[[PS544|Dream World]]'', Black was freed from the Light Stone after {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} was reawakened. Upon returning to [[Unova]], Brav was used alongside Reshiram and White's {{p|Vullaby|Barbara}} to battle {{p|Kyurem}}. He was [[PS547|later]] used to try to keep Kyurem from destroying the [[Plasma Frigate]].
