Aqualish (Pokemon)

Aqualish, the starting water pokemon of the pokemon Hack: Pokemon Burnt Orange. It evolves into Placofish at 16 and then into Placochomp at 36. This little fellow has also taken the misfortune of being Baka's token pokemon.

Physiology
Similar to a cross between a stoney fish and a seal; this little brown pokemon is notorious for its crudely formed bony jaws. With a sandy and soft colored underbelly and a stonier scaled brown body; a blue fringe accents its body. Its flippers and fins are made of a thick,slippery material that is not unlike the rubber of a rain coat.

Behavior
An overall very active and intuitive pokemon, Aqualish are often depicted as clumsy or childlike in nature. Part of this reasoning is because they're prone to tripping up on their own flippers, giving them a very awkward gait outside of water. They also seem to like to chew things, it is supposed this is to sharpen their jaws. Outside of captivity they seem to lurk in small schools and can easily spend their entire day gnawing and grinding their jaws at whatever surface is at the water's edge; be it sand, reef, or even the flat steel of a dam!

Habitat
Aqualish are often found within lakes or areas that have murky water. It is suggested that some migrate towards the sea when they are strong enough to survive the currents and the wild pokemon encounters. Their coloration, however, always seem to reflect their modest birthplace.

Diet
When they grow mature and head out to Sea, the majority of their diet consists of coral. Inside lakes it is suggested they eat the local vegetation, especially that of scraping algea off of rocks.
