SP: Story of a Skuntank

Excerpt from the journal of Ace Rorin:

"I've been traveling through Sinnoh for a while now, and I've met a lot of new Pokemon. I got a Turtwig, who I named Atlas from Prof. Rowan, and decided to start completely new in Sinnoh. That means I had to leave my older Pokemon behind, but they seemed thankful for the vacation. Now I've got Atlas the Torterra, Garuda the Staraptor, Magnus the Magnezone, Scylla the Garchomp, Amunet the Lucario, and Bodh the Slowking. Bodh's been thinking of retiring from battle, though. Something about not having as much study time or something. He'll still be Amunet's mentor, though, so she's happy. This means I'll be looking for a new sixth member of my team...

As I've gone through Sinnoh, I've been constantly pestered by a wild Skuntank. I don't know what the thing wants, but it's always pulling pranks on me. I can't tel you how many times my team and I have had to bathe in tomato juice so far. Uggh...and the stench that thing gives off. Like a garbage barge or something. Yuck...

I first thought that it wanted to be a part of my team, but that offer was met with a Flamethrower attack, followed by Poison Gas or Smokescreen. It's ridiculously strong, too! It's KOed Atlas, Garuda, Magnus, Scylla, Amunet, and Bodh several times with one Poison Jab or Flamethrower, and if it can't win, it just runs off in a Smokescreen. I wonder if it was abandoned by another trainer or something. Oh well...looks like I've got a little rival in Skuntank as I check out Sinnoh.

Well...I'm out. Gotta look for someone to take Bodh's place when he retires." ~ Ace Rorin
