0:00What if I told you the cutest starter in the franchise taught itself to fight by watching humans?

0:03That's Oshawott.

0:07The sea otter from Unova who gets overlooked the second a new trainer sees Snivy or Tepig.

0:10The shell on its belly is called a scalchop, and it grew from Oshawott's own body.

0:14Same material as its claws.

0:17The weapon is part of Oshawott.

0:21There's a line in the Pokédex about how Oshawott takes care of that scalchop.

0:24It says Oshawott learned to maintain it by going to riverbeds and using stones the way it had seen humans use whetstones.

0:28Oshawott watched humans.

0:31It saw what they did with their tools.

0:34Then it took itself to a riverbed and figured out how to do the same thing for itself.

0:38Nobody taught Oshawott how to sharpen the blade growing from its body.

0:41It watched, and it learned.

0:45And if Oshawott loses the scalchop, it grows a new one from the same spot on its belly.

0:48The blade is inside it.

0:52The capacity to make it again is inside it.

0:55The skill to keep it sharp came from watching alone.

0:58Nobody taught you how to take care of yourself either.

1:02You watched people take care of their own things, and you copied what they did.

1:05You figured out what whetstones were because nobody handed you one.

1:09The blade you carry right now, you sharpened by yourself, with the wrong tools, at a riverbed nobody told you was there.

1:12And if it breaks, you'll grow another one.

1:16Because the source was never outside you.

1:19If you raised yourself in any way that mattered, comment below.

1:23Then send this to the person who watched themselves grow up alongside you.
