Creatures of the Sea

I've been looking over my old posts, and I noticed I've made a post on land creatures, but I don't have one on the watery counterpart of the sea, aside from making a mention at the start of the other post. As such, I've decided to make a post on the topic in more or less the same style, just to set things right.

So, the sea, like the land, is a venue of life - although the life there is very much different, even almost "alien", compared to the ones on land. Being the lifelike creatures they are, Pokémon species also inhabit this venue of life, though as expected, they themselves are different and do things differently from their counterparts on land. All the same, they're very much able to thrive in this venue and do so in amazing ways to fulfill the purposes of life, whether of themselves or of others. 

Likewise, it is possible to consider two Pokémon species that embody the sea, both accurately by relevance and literally by size. One of these is certainly the great maker and dweller of the sea, Kyogre, whose capacity of bringing down rains is of great reverence by certain groups of people. Then there's Wailord as one of the largest Pokémon out there, certainly in its environment. It's a practical wonder for it to exist and thrive there, especially with it as the evolution of the more playful and spherical Wailmer. Both of these take up space in the sea, and they're also representative of what the sea is able to beget.

Previously, I had discussed the sea itself, particularly in regard to a different phenomenon; the key point was the sea as the bringer and giver of life, implying a sense of mutual benefit. With this consideration, there is the sense that species like the Binacle family and Corsola can serve as anchors for all other species in the sea, including what could be considered the most vivacious, as the Magikarp family. Life spirit is arguably important, for these sea creatures and more, as is how that translates to their land brethren and then goes back to the sea in a cycle that is wonderful in description and effect.

With its voluminous nature (including for certain life forms within it) and the possibilities of life energy carried in it, the sea definitely has a life-sustaining role for real creatures and of course the ones in the Pokémon world. The latter being what they are might seem strange to land-dwellers like people, but then so are many real creatures within the same space. Most importantly, they remain valuable in keeping life and life energy flowing - literally, given the medium - in lore and reality, and that's as fascinating as it is essential.
