Birkal:
Scraggy (M)
Just before he left, my dad gave this Pokemon when I was just a runt. He said some of his friends found it while spelunking in deep caves. The little guy's skin is a weird, opaque white; he must have spent a lot of time in the dark. It's taken a while, but he's finally warmed up to me. I can't wait to see what he can do in battles.
