Pikkdog’s Pikks Three: Gyarados Sf, Defender, and Cinccino

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

A big hello to all members of Omar-Nation.  This is Pikkdogs here with another Pikk Three article.  Two Pikk Three articles in one week?  There must not be much going on in the Pokemon world.  Actually, there are a couple things going on, lets look at a couple of news stories.
