Hi Alyana,

You're right! It would need to be a book with a page number that starts with a 4 or 5.

33. Pajama Shark


Also known as a striped catshark, this species can be found in the costal waters of South Africa. It is an abundant, bottom-dwelling species that makes its home in rocky reefs and kelp beds. While they are an opportunistic predator that feeds on a wide variety of fish and invertebrates, it favors cephalopods and frequents the spawning grounds of the chokka squid. When threatened, it curls into a circle with its tail covering its head.

31. Dwarf Lantern Shark


A species of dogfish, this is the smallest shark in the world and reaches a maximum known length of 8 in (20 cm). It is known to be present only on the upper continental slopes off Columbia and Venezuela, at a depth of 928-1,440 ft (283-439 m). It is classified as Least Concerned, due to being of no economic value with its small size. Like other lantern sharks, this species has light-emitting organs called photophores along its belly and fins. These help them camouflage when they feed in shallower water and attract smaller animals in darker water.



10. Leopard Shark


A species of houndshark, the Leopard Shark can be found along the Pacific coast of North America from the US state of Oregon to Mazatlán in Mexico. They are immediately identifiable by the striking pattern of black saddle-like markings and large spots over its back, from which it drives its common name. They are active-swimming predators, with groups of Leopard Sharks often following the tide into intertidal mudflats to forage for food. They mostly eat clams, spoon worms, crabs, shrimp, bony fish, and fish eggs.

11. Zebra Shark


Born dark brown with yellowish stripes, as this species of shark reaches adulthood they shed their stripes for small black dots against a tan body. They are often mistaken for the Leopard Shark. Zebra Sharks are nocturnal foragers, and hunt for small fish, snails, sea urchins, crabs and other small invertebrates that hide out in crevices. Though this shark is often found in marine waters, they have been spotted in brackish and freshwater habitats.

#643 – Reshiram

The game mascot for Pokemon Black, Reshiram is also known as the Vast White Pokémon. In Unovan mythology, Reshiram was created from a single Dragon Pokémon owned by the twin heroes when it split into two: Reshiram and Zekrom. It sided with the older brother who sought the truth; as a result, it firmly believes in truth. Reshiram is said to be Zekrom's equal in battle, meaning neither of the two dragons can truly defeat the other. It is powerful enough to destroy the Unova region with its fire powers. Reshiram will transform into the Light Stone should its body get destroyed or when attacked by Kyurem's tendril-like appendages. It can willingly transform back from said stone when awakened by a hero who believes in truth. According to one myth, Reshiram is said to burn down kingdoms of people who ignore truth due to being consumed by greed.

Type: Dragon/Fire

Features: Reshiram is a white, bipedal Pokémon with draconic, avian, and mammalian traits. A long, voluminous wispy mane streams out from the upper side of the snout and outwards from its head.

Its eyes have blue irises and black pupils. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Reshiram has a long and slender neck, with a fluffy, collar-like protrusion jutting out of two gray, glass-like neckbands. Its arms begin slender and arm-like but then flare into a more wing-like appearance, sporting four claws resembling hands on the leading edge. There are plates at the back of Reshiram's "hands" that sport a similar color to its neck rings. Reshiram has a feathered or furry feature on its chest, with the lower portion protruding outwards to a point. Long feather-like protrusions jut out of its thighs. On its feet are large gray claws, three at the front and one positioned at the back, resembling high heels. Reshiram's tail is a mass of plume and ribbon-like extensions, surrounded by two large bands, similar to the ones around its neck. When its emotions surge, it enters Overdrive mode, and its tail lights up with a fiery glow.

Evolution: No Evolution

Pokédex Entry: This Pokémon appears in legends. It sends flames into the air from its tail, burning up everything around it.

Who’s that Pokémon?! #5

This mystery Pokémon is also known as the Muscular Pokémon. It is the First Evolution for a popular Pokémon family. It is also known to usually carry an I-beam in its arms. The steel frame is used to train its muscles. If the individual fails to measure up to the others, it will proceed to lay low for some time. It is so strong that it won’t be moved if it is attached by a group of processional wrestlers. It is usually found near construction sites. Unlike its other two evolutions, this Pokémon is not good at helping with construction; rather, it excels at demolition.

Who’s that Pokémon?! #4

This mystery Pokémon is the final evolution of a Pokémon originally introduced in Generation I. Designated the Vine Pokémon, It hunts by disguising itself as a shrub before grabbing prey with its vines. When the climate is warm, its vine growth is accelerated to the point where not even its eyes can be seen. If its vines are too long, it can shorten them by tearing bits of them off. They are very rare in the wild. Their appearance seems to be based on a swamp monster, and the references to ensnaring its surroundings seems to be a reference to thigmotropism. This is a biological reaction that plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow (as seen in flowering plants such as cucumbers.) While the normal color of this Pokémon is blue, its Shiny version is green.

Type: Grass

Features: This is a large Pokémon with a black body wrapped in a large mass of blue vines. The vines are used to entangle foes and prey. A pair of saucer-like eyes peek out from beneath the tangled mess of vines. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. This Pokémon has a pair of blue boneless arms that have three fingers. The arms are made from bundles of vines. These fingers are completely red on a female, while they have red tips on a male.

Pokédex Entry: It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.

To catch this Pokémon, please do ONE of the following tasks:
1. Read a book with a pair of eyes on the cover (both must be visible.)
2. Read a book that part of a spin-off from another series.
3. Read a book that has a blue or green cover (must be more that 50% one of these two colors).

#460 – Abomasnow

Known as the Frost Tree Pokémon, This Pokémon is the first by alphabetical order. It also is unique in the fact that no other Pokémon has the same type combination of Grass and Ice, other than its pre-Evolution. Abomasnow appears to be based on a cross between an evergreen tree covered in snow and a yeti. It also appears to be based on juhyou, a frozen phenomenon that appears on top of Japan’s Mount Zao. After trees atop the mountain are laden with snow, icy winds sculpt them into humanoid-figures that appear to rise from the ground. Abomasnow prefer to live alone and not associate with others. They are able to create blizzards to hide themselves and can also cause whiteout conditions with just a shake of their massive body.

Type: Grass/Ice

It appears to be based on the winged, adult stage of the Dragonfly. In fact, some species are commonly called “sand dragons,” which could account for Vibrava and Flygon’s type combination.

Type: Ground/Dragon

Features: Flygon is a Pokémon that resembles a slightly insectoid, bipedal dragon. It is primarily light green and has a pair of large rhombus-shaped wings with red trim, toeless hind legs, and skinny arms with three-clawed hands.

#132 – Ditto

Ditto is an amorphous species that can use “Transform” to mimic any object or creature temporarily. If it transforms into another Pokémon, it will gain any attacks known by it. However, its mimicry is often imperfect, resulting in Ditto’s eyes or entire face remaining the same on the transformed body. Though Ditto cannot evolve into a stronger form in the franchise like other Pokémon, at one point in the development of sequel titles Pokémon Gold and Silver an evolution called Animon was considered through the use of the “Metal Coat” item on a Ditto. While initially seen as particularly weak in the original Read and Blue, the addition of the “Daycare” mechanic in later Pokémon titles and Ditto’s ability to breed with almost every Pokémon significantly boosted its popularity, making them vital for the game’s competitive scene.

Type: Normal

Features: In its natural state, Ditto is a light-purple or pink blob-like Pokémon with vestigial facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two pseudopod-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile.

Evolution: No Evolution

Pokédex Entry: Capable of copying an enemy’s genetic code to instantly transform itself into a duplicate of the enemy.

To catch Ditto, please do ONE of the following tasks:
1. Read a book from the list 52 Book Club 2024: #22 & #23 A Plot Similar To Another Book.
