>>19425463If I remember correctly, Ash and gang needed to cross a river and the only man with a boat wanted a Sudowoodo before he would let them cross in it. He wanted the Sudowoodo because his scientist daughter wanted one to settle an argument with her colleague.
At some point Brock chased one down and tackled it and started licking it. I think it was to show it affection, but I don't really remember.
