Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	Every time ABSOL appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster POKéMON.
Sapphire	ABSOL has the ability to foretell the coming of natural disasters. It lives in a harsh, rugged mountain environment. This POKéMON very rarely ventures down from the mountains.
Emerald	It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. It is a long-lived POKéMON that has a life-span of 100 years.
FireRed LeafGreen	It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom-bringer.
Diamond Pearl	It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger.
Platinum	Rumored to sense danger with its horn, it became a target. It fled deep into the mountains.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It has the ability to foretell natural disasters. Its life span is over a hundred years.
Black White	Rumored to sense disasters with its horn, it became a target. It fled deep into the mountains.
