The ocean is scary. I don’t know if it’s the biodiversity or just the sheer amount of water. Take Challenger Deep, it is over 35,000ft below the surface, completely filled with water. And stuff lives down there! Imagine being in an airplane, flying at cruising altitude, except all the air below you is replaced by water. Absolutely incredible and terrifying.
But more than I fear the ocean, I respect it. How interconnected everything is. How powerful the creatures are who swim in its depths. Which brings me to Gyarados. Our very own Pokémon sea monster. This ocean dragon stood the test of time, battling the elements to stay alive evolving from Magikarp to become this great beast. Who knew such a little guy had such potential. Never underestimate the power of the ocean.
