Expert stonecutter

The expert stonecutter or master stonecutter is a character of the day who appeared in Bibarel Gnaws Best.

Expert stonecutter

After injuring his back while working a new stone bridge, he left his job and his Pokémon crew to recover while Isis headed the operations.

He later returned, fully recovered. He is known to be very knowledgeable on the subject of stonecutting, and knew the bridge as it currently was would collapse just by looking at the blueprints designed by the Head engineer. He also managed to improve Bibarel's skill in stonecutting at least tenfold, and Bibarel is very loyal to him.

With the expert stonecutter's improved plans, Isis and Ash's group fixed the bridge and finished everything on schedule.

Isis trained Bibarel at the Pokémon Training Center to become a stonecutter. The expert stonecutter later took Bibarel under his wing, where she went on to become a master stonecutter.

After her mentor left because he had worn out his back, Bibarel refused to do any more work. Brock tried to encourage her to work by mixing up some food, but Bibarel still refused to work. Ash and Brock sent out Chimchar, Turtwig, Buizel and Sudowoodo, and used their moves to cut the stone. Unfortunately, they weren't the right dimensions.

Just as Bibarel started to get angry, Team Rocket appeared. They captured the worker's Machoke and Machamp, and then Bibarel. To Team Rocket's dismay, Bibarel used her strong front teeth to chew right through the cage bars, but after she was freed, she still refused to work.

When the Head engineer arrived and put his Rhydon to work, Bibarel attacked. She didn't want to let the engineer's Pokémon touch the stone quarry. Then, the expert stonecutter appeared, scaring off the engineer before Bibarel and the group got right to work, and finally finished the bridge on time.

Bibarel's only known move is Hyper Fang.
