How   to   Dive:   Hosted   by   Dewgong!

Dewgong: Hi! It's me...Dewgong!
Me: And co-host, Zarla! ::flashes peace sign::
Dewgong: We're here taday ta help teach YA, da reader, how ta dive da Dewgong way!
Me: That's right!
Dewgong: First of all, let me stress...Location Location Location! Never try ta dive in a overcrowded area!

Swimmin inna over crowded pool is bad fer yer form, hazardous, and plus no one is payin attention while yer doin it!
Me: Good point.
Dewgong: Try ta find a place with some swimmers...but not TOO crowded.

Me: So ya have room, AND a audience!
Dewgong: That's right!
Me: Yes indeedy!
Dewgong: Anyway, as I was saying. Another good thing ta do ta prepare is get in shape! Totin weights around is a good way ta build yer fin muscles.

Me: Uh...
Dewgong: Strength is very important. Ya couldn't move around if yer fins were flabby.

Me: Uh...Right.
Dewgong: Next, find someplace high...preferably where ya can get some attention!
Me: Attention is key!
Dewgong: Now, form is also incredibly important. Without form, it looks like yer doin a bellyflop.
Me: Which, I may add, is also very painful. Form is key!
Dewgong: Anyway, try ta arch yer back as ya jump, and spread yer fins ta yer sides, tryin ta achieve that graceful look.

Me: Fins...?
Dewgong: Yeah. Fins. What else are ya gonna show off?
Me: Uh...some of us don't have fins. Me fer example.
Dewgong: Shh...this is my show! Yer ruinin it!
Me: Sorry.
Dewgong: Anyway, after ya splash down, go ahead and bow, and take a much deserved rest! Be sure no one else mistakes ya fer a pillow or nothin, another reason ta work out.

Me: Now, da splash down...
Dewgong: Ah yes! Da splash down! Very important! At da peak of yer jump, straighten yer back, and press yer fins...
Me: ::mutters:: there's those fins again...
Dewgong: What?
Me: Nothin.
Dewgong: Anyway, Press yer fins flat against yer body, so ya go in smoothly.
Also make sure ta dive in deep water...most peeps don't appreciate it when ya crack their floor.
Me: Crack their floor?
Dewgong: With yer horn. If yer going to fast in shallow water, yer horn slams inta da floor. It's very costly ta repair.
Me: Has it happened ta ya often?
Dewgong: Uh...no.
Me: Some of us don't have horns, Dewgong.
Dewgong: So?
Me: Some of us don't have fins either.
Dewgong: So?
Me: So couldn't we translate this so it's easier fer HUMANS?
Dewgong: What a pointless thought!
Me: Uh...of course. This has been Diving with Dewgong...
Dewgong: Hosted by me!
Me: and Co-hosted by me! See ya next time!

Me: No it won't. All 151 are in it.
Dewgong: No they're not. Just me.
Me: Yes they are. Why do ya think that?
Dewgong: Cause of that pic! Look! Just me! Aren't I graceful?
Me: Uh...Hoo boy, I won't even try to explain...

Zarla's Editorial On : Dewgong

Okay, I must admit that when I first got Pokémon, I thought Dewgong looked kinda silly (in da game, anyway).
Then I hosted that show up there with it ::points up:: and I looked at it's picture in a Strategy Guide. Instantly, my cousin Sheena says "Ooo, Dewgong is so pretty and graceful in this picture!". I noticed it too...and it really was beautiful. Sheena's love affair with Dewgong (her fav Pokémon) happened when she first saw one in the Seafoam caves, but I was led too it by her love.
Dewgong is really a beautiful, and powerful, Pokémon. One of da few, along with Cloyster, who learns AuroraBeam. And it also learns Rest and Ice Beam BY ITSELF.
Why is Dewgong never used?
Dewgong is very useful..it's mix of water and ice attacks with the ability to heal itself with rest is formidable! It's got good stats and can easily be found by raising a Seel to a Dewgong or even CATCHING one in the wild. Why is it never used? Do Blastoise and Gyarados steal it's spotlight? Are they really better? Are they really so much more popular? Or is it that they've had more memorable time in the Spotlight?
In the episode "The Misty Mermaid" (I think that's what it was called), there was a Dewgong...it evolved from a Seel. Sheena was absolutely horrified to hear it's voice. Instead of the beautiful, light, airy, cheerful, tinkling voice she expected to delicatly say "Deeeewgong..." she got some kind of indian accent that screeched harshly "DEEEEEEWWW GONG GONG GONG!"
Sheena collapsed, half laughing and half sobbing, while I was struck with horror.
Also, Dewgong got a cameo in Mewtwo Strikes Back (Where it's voice was equally mangled). Is that what dissuades some people from Dewgong? After all, who would want a Pokémon that's voice makes you wince and beg for it to shut up? My Cousin still loves Dewgong very much, and believes that Misty's Dewgong and Sweet's (at least, that was da trainer in da movies Japanese name, I don't know her English one) Dewgong were badly trained and thus their voices are horrible, while her Dewgong (Dewy) has the voice she dreamed of.
Dewgong's voice could be what is putting people off...and also the fact that it looks NOTHING like the Strategy Guide picture in any other place I've seen. But still I like Dewgong very much...

Dewgong is a good and honest Pokémon, and deserves some recognition. Give it some!
