Mikelo Skechitt
is known by many aliases. "The Magikarp Man", "Thrifty Skuntank" and "That
Swindling Crook." He makes his living from selling off items that more
honest salespeople would shudder at - weak pokémon, pokémon disguised as
other types of pokémon and devices created using unstable technology.
Abilities
Mikelo is a skilled fisherman and bargainer
- he also seems to be incredibly good at taming Pokémon.

History
The oldest child of a thrifty
family, Mikelo's biggest childhood influence came from his
salesman father - a forceful man with little respect for the
rights of those he dealt with outside his own home. Unlike
his younger brother who wanted nothing to do with such
tactics, Mikelo would often accompany his father on sales
outings, where he quickly gathered the tricks of the trade. Mikelo proved to have the gift of making an offer
sound irresistible.
Finding
Orre had
little to offer, Mikelo took took what he knew and sought to
extend his own branch of the Skechitt 'enterprise' out into
the world, starting with the most common water-bound Pokémon
he knew of -
Magikarp. During trips to Fiore, the man had found
Magikarp in abundance, but was unable to capture one due to
strict protection rules enforced by the Rangers there.
Travelling to
Kanto, Mikelo employed his fishing skills and
caught Magikarp for himself which he then proceeded to sell
at extortionate prices.
Being a travelling merchant
makes Mikelo very hard to track by authorities. His boldness
proves to be without limits and his scruples most
questionable. At times he has managed to trade obscure
articles for far more useful ones, and he doesn't think
twice on selling items he knows are flawed.
