This is Professor Goodvibes speaking, with a message to all rangers in the region!

Pokemon have been strangely disappearing at an alarming rate, right out of people's backyards. The strange disappearances have been linked to a criminal syndicate called the Pokemon Hunters, led by the nefarious Hunter J. Her two top commanders, Bashou and Buson, have been sighted stirring up trouble as well.

The Pokemon Hunters have a record of capturing Pokemon by turning them to stone. Then the Pokemon are either sold illegally or brainwashed and forced to do bad things. Brainwashed Pokemon don't respond properly to the capture styler and are released immediately upon capture.

It rests with all of us to stop Hunter J before she does away with the region's Pokemon!

Here are the head honchoes of the operation:

Bashou has been known to be a rational thinker at all times. He never attacks without thinking things over. He normally uses Pokemon with high special attributes, like psychic or poison types, and will try to worm his way out of situations using type advantages and dirty tricks.

Buson prefers brawns over brain. He attacks without a plan most of the time. He uses Pokemon with high physical attributes, like fighting and rock types, and prefers to go for a direct attack on the capture line rather than waste time confusing the opponent.

J is amysterious woman, about whom there is little information. She doesn't seem to have any strategy or preference in type, but she does have a Drapion that has left many rangers with broken stylers. Be careful when confronting her!
