Marluga
Marsopa

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Species name: Marluga
No: ???
The Wave Chaser Pokemon
Type 1/ Water
Height: 4'9
Weight: 130 lbs

General Pokedex data: This playful pokemon is known to swim up 
behind unsuspecting Pelipper and pluck off a few of their 
tailfeathers. They can sometimes be seen riding the swells left 
behind by larger water pokemon.

Marluga as well their evolved forms are extremely social creatures, 
travelling in pods usually ranging from 5 to 10 in number. Their 
streamlined skin and acute sense of touch  allow them to maneuver 
gracefully around any obstacle. Headbutting is their main form of 
defense as well as play, and the pearly white bump that resides on 
their forehead appears to be used for this function. Once evolved, 
it will steadily begin to grow into the horn their evolved form is 
best known for. Although generally peaceful and congenial in 
demeanor, they will show aggression by blowing bubble-clouds out of 
their blowholes. Some can often be heard communicating using 
distinctive clicks and whistles in deep water.

Evolution by WATER STONE:

Species name: Marsopa
No: ???
The Porpoise Pokemon
Type 1/ Water
Type 2/ Psychic
Height: 7'8
Weight: 419 lbs

General Pokedex data: These majestic pokemon possess long, 
distinctive horns and can swim up to 90 miles per hour, earning them 
the nickname "the Rapidash of the sea".

Not much is known about this elusive and mischievous pokemon,  who 
tends to show up only when people aren't looking for it. Despite 
their usually peaceful demeanor, they are a force to be reckoned 
with when provoked. The horns that protrude from their foreheads can 
reach up to 3 or 4 feet, although since they are rarely seen this is 
for the time undetermined. Horns play a major role in everyday 
functioning; feeding, defense, establishing dominance, attracting 
females, and sparring between males during mating season. Males' 
horns tend to grow longer for this purpose.

Pods consist of one dominant marsopa male, lower males, females, and 
children. Marlugas make up most of this number. Pods are extremely 
protective and effective against predators. Marsopas have been known 
to kill sharpedo, who like to go after the babies and weaker 
marluga, with a single stab from their horn. The lead males are 
extremely protective of their pods and can be deadly if they sense 
the slightest threat.

Marsopa appear to use their psychic abilities as some form of 
echolocation/communication, though more study needs to be performed 
on it. They can be extremely empathetic and aware of their 
surroundings, and this has been pertained to these psychic abilities.
