00:00In the quiet shallows of freshwater lakes, where sunlight dances beneath the surface,
00:06a small survivor begins its journey.
00:09This is not a story of power, but of adaptation, patience, and evolution.
00:16This is the life of Squirtle, and the long road toward becoming Blastoise.
00:22Squirtle enters the world vulnerable, no larger than a river stone.
00:27Its smooth, rounded shell offers limited protection, forcing it to rely on agility rather than strength.
00:36At this stage, survival depends on awareness, knowing when to hide and when to flee.
00:43Squirtle feeds on aquatic plants, insects, and small crustaceans, building the energy it needs to grow.
00:51Its lungs are still developing, limiting time spent underwater.
00:56Each dive is calculated, each movement deliberate.
01:01Many Squirtle do not survive this phase, but those that do begin to change.
01:11Squirtle, the longevity sentinel.
01:14Said to live 10,000 years, this bipedal Chelonian stands just over 3 feet tall.
01:21Brown shell, pale yellow underside, but the tail captivates.
01:27Thick, wavy, covered in light blue fur darkening with age.
01:32A symbol of longevity.
01:34Older specimens bear scars and algae on their shells.
01:39Each mark a testament to survival.
01:42Each filament, a chronological record.
01:46Most remarkable are the feather-like auricular appendages.
01:50Wartortle moves its furry ears and tail as rudders.
01:54Hydrodynamic control, allowing high-speed swimming without destabilization.
02:01The fur serves dual purpose.
02:03Air stored within enables extended underwater diving.
02:08Self-contained respiratory apparatus.
02:11Wartortle can be found living in colonies on islands.
02:16Social structures suggesting complex territorial organization and cooperative behavior.
02:23Yet, as centuries accumulate, as the shell thickens beyond adolescent proportions, transformation becomes inevitable.
02:33The body enlarges.
02:35Armament emerges.
02:37What surfaces is no longer sentinel, but siege weapon.
02:43Blastoise Magnificus.
02:46The siege weapon.
02:48Five feet of armored mass.
02:51The shell thickens to withstand forces no colonian should endure.
02:56Two hydraulic cannons emerge from the carapace.
03:00Retractable artillery capable of industrial grade pressures.
03:05Water fired from the central cannon can blast holes into mountainsides.
03:10The creature deliberately increases body weight to withstand recoil from sustained bombardment.
03:16Muscle density amplifies.
03:19Skeletal structure reinforces.
03:22Muscle density amplifies.
03:23Living ballast.
03:25The water spouts are highly accurate.
03:28Water projectiles can precisely strike targets from over 160 feet.
03:33Precision.
03:34Power.
03:35Power.
03:35Devastation.
03:37Devastation.
03:37But even this armament is not final form.
03:42When territorial defense demands firepower beyond biological limits.
03:47When hydraulic reserves reach critical saturation, emergency protocol activates.
03:55The shell undergoes catastrophic reconfiguration.
03:59Mega blastoise.
04:01Maximum bombardment configuration.
04:03The dual cannons retract, merging into a single central weapon with tank-grade firepower
04:10and six-mile blast range.
04:13Two additional arm-mounted cannons emerge from arm shells.
04:17Stabilizers for sustained fire.
04:20Water jets capable of punching through thick steel.
04:25But the coastal waters are not calm.
04:28The storm darkens.
04:31Something stirs beneath.
04:3321 feet of dark scales breach the surface.
04:37Blade-like fins.
04:39Blood-red eyes burning with uncontrollable rage.
04:44Mega gerados.
04:46Mega evolution's burden transformed into apocalyptic ferocity.
04:51It exists only to annihilate.
04:53Two apex predators.
04:55One coastline.
