Oshawott
The Sea Otter Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 501
Entry: One of three pokémon traditionally offered to new trainers at the beginning of their journeys in Unova. A small but tenacious otter pokémon, oshawott quickly attacks using the scalchop it normally stores on its stomach. According to the Unovan pokédex, this scalchop is made of the same elements as claws … which means absolutely nothing because a lot of things in the natural world are made of the same elements as claws.

Dewott
The Discipline Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 502
Entry: The evolved form of oshawott, by battle experience. True to its species, dewott trains endlessly in order to master sword-like techniques with its dual scalchops. There are many interpretations as to why dewott do this. Some researchers note that the scalchop is a difficult weapon to master, so dewott compensate for this with elaborate swordplay styles unique to each individual specimen. Others say dewott are secretly training to avenge their fallen masters, to which the first group of researchers will often respond by telling the second to stop watching terrible kung fu movies and that their tastes in film is questionable at best. The author, of course, wishes to respectfully disagree by informing his editor that kung fu films are an art form, thank you.

Samurott
The Formidable Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 503
Entry: The evolved form of dewott, by battle experience. A master of katana-like swordplay, samurott engage in battle by unleashing an intimidating cry, followed by a vicious, lightning-fast attack with its seamitars, or the blades attached to the front legs of its armor. Not only can samurott unsheathe these blades with incredible speed and dexterity, but they are also capable of dual-wielding both of their seamitars at once … which is itself impressive for a pokémon that requires four legs to stand.
