Hello there, and welcome to the world of Pokémon.
My name is Professor Jacob, and thank you so much for attending
this lecture on Pokémon biology. And we did it guys.
We're back here. Another.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Professor. Like the true professional, the
pro, the professional you are. I love it.
Professional professor, Professor.
Professional Prof. Professional.
That's me. Put it on a T-shirt.
Joining me here in the classroom today is, of course, my
wonderful teaching assistant, Mr. Curtis, If you could
introduce yourself. You already were very talkative,
but maybe you should introduce yourself.
Thank you. Thank you, Professor.
Let me just say, I'm so happy to not have to be leading class
today. It it almost, even though
Spinner Rack is by far my favoritest, most favorite,
bestest Pokémon. It was so nervous.
Nervous rack. Nervous rack to.
To lead to lead to lead class last week that I just I just.
Yeah, it almost sounds like you haven't slept in a week Mr.
Curtis. I've just been.
I've been. I've been full of post class
jitters the entire week. I've been right here pacing the
class. You can see my foot marks on the
ground over there. It's like.
A little sweaty. Now remember this, the classroom
is a sphere, so you're going like kind of like up and down in
a like like 1/2 pipe kind of thing.
Nice. Nice.
Yeah, right. Rocking motion.
Cool. Also here in the classroom today
is our young trainer and training, Corbin.
Corbin, if you could please say hello.
What's up? What's up?
What it is, everyone, What it do.
It's good to be here. Young 10 year old boy, excited
for the day and what it holds and ready to learn about another
Pokémon. I'm I I.
The wonder of youth. Exactly.
And it's good to be youthful. It's good to be young and
flexible and happy and well. Not very happy, not very.
Not happy, but reasonably satisfied with depending on the
day. But this thing would be a lot
better if I'd have to sit next to Mr. Curtis.
He smells today and yeah. Corbin.
He's just trying to communicate with you.
Have you not remember our Ladybug?
I'm not a ladybug, so. He never will be you've.
Communicated to me that you stink and I don't want to be
around you. Oh.
OK, so maybe he's trying to get you to move.
You know, you could come sit up here in the front row, Corbin.
I don't want. Don't know why nobody sits up
here in the front. I'm good.
OK. Wow.
I mean, do you want me to move home?
No, no. These stations at the very back
so you can monitor students as they come and go.
That's true. That's true, Professor.
You're right. Once again, your wisdom and your
guidance leads me in like a beacon in my life going forward.
That's really sweet and kind of kiss buddy of you to say.
And then we wouldn't expect anything different from Mr.
Curtis. That's right.
OK, Before we move further with the lesson, I have a couple
Gengar males here that I would like to read.
Oh, wow. OK, thanks.
This one comes to us. Wow.
You don't need his proficient profession.
Profession. Oh no, don't listen to sloppy
mouth here. Continue.
Reading. Oh yeah.
He could hear the drool slipping from his lips.
Yeah, that was wet, Mr. Curtis. Jeez.
That one that was like, normally sloppy mouth is just talking
about how he messes up words. But this one was sloppy.
It was smacking all over. Curtis, are you?
Did you take your pills today? I I did, I did.
I just need to get a quick sip of of full energy here hold.
On don't right from the Maple syrup.
Oh God, straight from the tree. That's good.
That's what I needed. See.
Tea. To cup from tree to cup to cup
to mouth is what we call that T-shirt.
That's right. OK, so this first Ingar mail
comes to us from 1:00. Cipher is is the name.
Oh, that's a real name. OK all.
Right. I'm not going to ask questions.
So they sent us a handwritten poem.
So it's got a lot of, you know, fun drawings here.
But I'm going to go ahead and read it.
And I know I don't read poems as well as Corbin does.
That's what we. Do this time.
Professor, do you want me to do it?
Nope. OK, all right.
Charmeleons are red. Turtwig's type is grass.
There's nothing better than a Wednesday in this class.
Oh. And the funniest thing in the
world is seeing Mr. Curtis fall on his.
Wait, what is what? Say it.
His booty? OK.
Well, joke's on you. It's not going to happen.
I'll push you over to make it happen if I have to it.
Wouldn't take much. He's already wobbling all over.
The place that that's a threat, it's on recording.
But it's a promise, Mr. Curtis. OK, all right.
That's true. My my apology.
You're right. You're right.
We can't. We can't get, we can't put you
in jail for a promise. That's right.
That's. Right.
Hey, stop. Hey, hey, stop growling at my
teaching. Assistant.
All right, I retract. I retract my claim.
He's like, he's like fake stabbing at you with like a
knife, but he's not holding anything in his hand.
Sorry. It's just it's a it's a new
coping mechanism that Perry was telling me about through virtual
therapy. OK, Yeah, so.
To to to shadow stab. Somebody.
Yeah, to shadow stab somebody on all fours like a Fido.
Hey, Shadow Stabs definitely sounds like it could be a really
cool like ghost or dark type move.
It really does. Right, TMTM, Shadow STAB, Shadow
STAB has a very high critical hit chance.
I think you know, if we were to quantify Pokémon's Move's
ability to strike a weak point. And every time this move is
used, Corbin gets a little bit more money.
It's called robbery. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Basically, so cipher. Thank you so much for your
wonderful poem. You, of course, will be getting
extra credit for this Mr. Curtis Gold Star.
Yes, I think. I think so, because I too think
there's nothing better than a Wednesday in this class.
So you're here. What about Wednesday's not in
this class What do you? Do.
Did it? Has there ever been a Wednesday
not in this class? Well, I guess that's to be fair.
You are here every single day. I am here in this class every
day there's there's no place. I would say too much here, too
much. Then here in class wild and
free. Corbin.
That's me. You.
Want him to be in this class because you know where he'd be
if he wasn't in this class. Probably at his shack at home,
cuddling with his gross spin racks.
He'd be monitoring you, Corbin. I don't need to be.
I have to keep track of. You I'm.
The professor is too. The professor is too busy doing
important stuff to be bothered being your guardian.
I must take care. Of you, wild free, glorious
rapidash. I cannot be tamed, OK?
We don't have to tame you to monitor you.
That's. True.
I'll just string you up. Wrap you right up in SO.
OK, well. That doesn't sound safe.
I mean, you know, it's saving you from yourself, Corbin.
You're you're a danger to yourself and those around.
You. I mean that's Yeah, that's Perry
says that too. My goodness that that's that's
exactly what he said in his in the last meeting that we had.
Oh, you got to meet with him too.
Yeah, And he was like, he was like side duck, side duck, side
duck. Oh, well, I'm glad.
I'm glad you're getting. Finished.
Let me finish. Let me finish.
Let him finish. Let him finish, Let him finish.
Let him cook. Side duck, side duck.
Corbin, side duck. Right.
And I was like, whoa, wait, you can say Corbin.
And he was like side duck, side duck, side duck.
Right. Yeah, that's that's, yeah, that
makes sense. That's that's so him.
That's such a Perry thing to say, you know.
Mr. Curtis, did you, did you or did you not give Cipher Gold
Star? I can't.
Remember I gave Cipher Gold? OK, great.
Course I would. OK.
So the next Gangar mail that we're moving on to came to us
from Malcolm. Hi Malcolm.
It's hello again, Malcolm, it says.
Dear Professor Jacob, I am sending you this message with a
big package for all of you. Professor, I think someone sent
you a spinner rack lab coat. I don't think it looks good or
is worth that much. So I'm giving you a lab coat
that actually has a nine tails on the back of it.
It's very expensive. Whoa.
Late Christmas present. Whoa.
You don't know what my spinner rack lab coat that I may or may
not have looks like. You don't know.
You don't know how much my lab
coat is worth. Somebody sent you a spinorack
lab coat. I forgot about that.
I have no idea if that's true or not, couldn't tell you.
He's not wearing it today, I'll tell you that much cuz I would
know. Creeper.
Yeah, he can smell out a spinorack webbing lab coat from
miles away. That's.
Right. It's actually made from
spinorack fur. Who, what?
Yeah, Particularly difficult to harness, yeah.
Unless it's a lot of shavings of tiny little pieces of fur to
really make anything useful. I'm going to vomit.
You gotta like compress. You can't like weave it or
anything. You have to like compress it
into a mold to get it to fit into the shape that you.
Want tell me more? Yeah.
And also, so you say this lab coat that you're sending me has
a nine tails on the back of it, like a like a drawing of a nine.
Tails. Or is it like, is it lighter?
Is it like gripping the back like it's on there?
It's. Piggyback.
I think it's. Like it's a real 9 tails.
It it was just sewn into the wave of the jacket.
Sent into the what? It was sewn into the weave of.
The weave OK, you know, I thought you said wave before.
It it's also sewn into the wave, the wave of the motions of the
oceans. Sure, sure.
Anyways, so continuing on with the Ganger male, it says.
Corbin, I have sent you a Pokeball toy.
It isn't a real Pokémon, but it's pretty fun and it also
comes with a figurine. I hope you like playing with it,
Mr. Curtis. You are weird facts.
Big. Facts But I did send you a real
live spinner rack. I poked holes in the box so
hopefully it can bring it. Hopefully I didn't check.
Too much trouble? They didn't say that, but that's
kind of the way that sounds. They say hopefully the holes
weren't too big, that the spinner rack got out.
I live in the JoJo region, so I think I'm so I think it might
already be dead. How could you say that?
No, it's OK, We're in the JoJo. But OK, so here's the thing.
I'm assuming that you don't know our personal addresses, so you
must have sent this to the school.
If I'm not mistaken. Now the school does not accept
packages. So any of these packages that
you send, we don't get, They just.
Right. It's a real pain for the staff
at the at the school because they have to go across the
street to pick up their packages from the store there and then
bring it back to the school. Yeah, most of the time it just
gets returned to the sender because they they don't even.
Accept it. It's a.
Shipping error, so keep keep an eye out.
Make sure that you have puffins and water set aside for your
spin rack. It's very important that they
get nice lots of calories and stay hydrated after a long
journey in the mail. Very nice, Mr. Curtis.
Very good health tips. But yes, so if you in the future
it might not be the best idea to send us packages.
Thank you though the the thought certainly.
Counts, though. They're going to send more now.
You done did it, Professor. And they'll get the packages
returned to them. It'll be a fun joke for them, I
guess. I don't know.
We'll. Never.
And then I'll get it. You'll get it.
Then they'll then they'll send it to me because they know that
I'll accept every package. You they don't know your
address. How will they send it to you?
Unless you want to say your address, right?
Now ask a homie. I'll tell you.
What's your address? That's that.
That's that's for our listeners to find.
Yeah, call reveal it on Patreon next week.
I'm just. Kidding.
Once we hit that $500 a month gold.
Well, Corbin. Ducks Corbin's address.
Corbin will give his actual address.
Yeah, remember we we also like love to get your questions,
though maybe not about dress, but make sure if you're a dress
Gold Star student. Mr. Cruz are talking about odd
dresses, not dresses. Come on, dress address.
We talked about that. Before we came in the room, I.
Was trying to think. Wait, I know, he said.
Dress. Am I the crazy one?
Does that make sense? No.
But if you're a Gold Star student or a professor's
assistant, make sure that you're leaving questions for us or no,
It's just the professor's, the professor's assistant.
From the top. Yes, from the top.
Make sure that if you're a profession.
OK, hold on from the top. This one sure this ones it.
Make sure if you are a profession.
Oh my God, Porsche, don't cut any of this out.
Make sure if you're a professor, professors.
Hey, OK, OK. Hey, yo, we're having a lot of
fun here. Chris.
Just say professor's assistant just a couple of times.
Make sure you your mouth can form the words.
Professors Assistant No. A son of dinosaurs.
Professor's assistant. Have you seen Professors Shiny?
It's amazing. Professor's Assistant Make sure
if you are a Professor's Assistant in our Patreon that
you leave questions for us on the Saffron City Learning Center
Discord so that we can answer your questions when we do the
Q&A's. Corbin What's the name of that
Discord? Oh, it's called the Saffron City
Learning Server. Makes sense.
Maybe we should change it to the Goldenrod City Learning Server
of the staff of the Gold branch of the Saffron City Learning
Server. The Golden Ross City server of
the Saffron City Learning Server.
Anyways, so just to remind everybody, we were reading
Malcolm's Gengar mail, so thank you so much for sending that to
us, Malcolm. Mr. Curtis Gold Star.
That was a command. That was a command.
Gold Star Mr. Curtis. He's telling you.
I don't. I don't, he told you.
To he told you to explain. Well, because because he didn't
really, you know he he put a spinner rack in jeopardy.
OK You know doesn't didn't even bother to make sure that the
spinner rack could breathe. So I don't know.
I I don't know you can condone that type of.
Human to think that a small a short trip and a cardboard box
would be enough to kill a spinner rack.
Have you no faith? You know Faith Mr. Curtis in The
Night Mother and that she would protect her children.
I have all faith in the night, Mother.
You you know what you're you're You are correct, Professor.
I'm sorry. You were right, Gold Star.
That's where we go. That's right.
I finally learned how to speak Mr. Curtis's language.
The The Praisings of the Night Mother say Gold Star for you.
The Praisings of the Night Mother.
That's right. All right.
That's going to do it for Gengar males today.
Thank you so much to Cypher and to Malcolm for sending those in.
If you would like to send us a Gengar mail, you can do so at
wwopokemon@gmail.com. And can I get a confirmation
that it is in fact in our link? It is.
I have connected with Portia. I have her on the line, I can
confirm that. Hi, Portia.
It's it's I don't have speaker. Portia, how are you doing?
She's on the Portia. I'm sorry.
Without my Rotom phone. She says put her on speaker.
She put put her on speaker. Do I have?
To put her on speaker, yeah. Yes, it's good.
Here we go. Here we go.
Say hi, Portia. Hello.
Do you? Congrats.
Hi. Oh, it's so nice to talk to.
You. Hi Portia.
I haven't heard from you in so long.
Wow. How?
How has the Saffron City Learning Center been without us?
Better than? Ever.
We haven't had an accident in months.
Oh, and standardized testing scores have increased by more
than 35.5%. Really.
Better really. OK.
Well, that's the kind of disheartening to hear.
I won't lie. How?
Are they doing better? I kind of, I kind of hope that
they would just be falling apart without.
Us. But it sounds like it's just
going on the up and up. OK, whatever.
Anyways. But, like, you're sure boring,
right? Porsche?
It's like, it's like, you know, maybe they're doing well as a
school, but it's like more boring without us.
Oh, for sure. The Saffron City Learning Center
is doing better than ever in terms of academics and safety.
But yes, more boring without your lively personalities.
OK, thank, thank God. I was worried.
I was worried.
Tell him Sensei William Shire, then I said hello.
Yes, of course, Mr. Curtis. Portia, we want to get
confirmation really quick. Does the the link tree have the
Gmail on it? I can confirm that it does, yes.
OK, Yes, OK. OK.
And what? Can you just remind me what that
Gmail is? Of course, it's W World Pokémon
at no, that's. You said it.
You said it wrong, Portia. No.
Try it. Try it one more time from the
top. Portia.
No, it's WWO Pokémon at Gmail dot.
Com Yes, that is. There we go.
Stop trying to confuse our.
Students. Very good, very good.
Portia all right. Portia, love you.
Bye. Bye.
We'll play games later. Bye.
Goodbye. Wait, games.
OK, Portia, we play. We play video games together.
Wow. Games where you test each other
on the knowledge about the Pokémon.
Hey, shut up this week, right? Hey, wow, that was.
You should come to my aggressive study.
Session so aggressive, Corbin. Sorry, I'm.
Just. OK.
Well, but Mr. Chris does have a point.
We should move on to the actual, you know, lesson here.
I think Mr. Curtis gave us an assignment.
Corbin. Do you, do you recall?
Yeah, how could I forget? It was giving me back issues on
the way into class. Here's the book bag.
Oh jeez. Everybody, present your eggs.
If you remember, last week I provided both Corbin and the
professor with spinner spinner eggs to take home and to, you
know, take care of over the weekend.
I'm going to have to grade you on the quality.
So, Corbin. Okay, here's my egg.
It it did crack open and how? It's a wow.
And you just, like, taped it back together with Scotch.
Tape. Yeah, but I Listen, listen, if
it makes you any better, I dropped it on the way home that
day after the lesson. Oh gosh, Corbin, I don't even
know. I mean this.
This was a solid hunk of granite.
I'm not even sure how you managed to crack it in half like
you did. Well, that's actually, that's
actually, that's actually the plot twist here is that when it
did crack open the egg, there is actually granite inside.
It looks like it's just rock. I have been bamboozled.
There was no live spinner rack in this, which is actually
honestly a good thing because they're disgusting and I'd
rather have a rock. Well, it's a good thing that you
didn't just crack open an actual egg to a real Pokémon, otherwise
you'd have a death of a spinner rack, no less, on your hands.
Well, that would. Actually be doing the world of
service. I could not condone that, but
well it. Doesn't matter what you condone
because. Not your class, but the rest of
the egg seems to be okay. I don't.
I don't know that you.
I think. I think 1 crack in an egg can is
is enough to do it in I don't think.
Yeah, yeah, I. Know, I think the rest of the
egg looking OK is really of any importance.
Yeah, just flip it around like an apple at the store.
That's true. All right.
So Corbin, unfortunately you are going to get AD minus on this.
Oh, oof, that's just shine. Yeah, sure should just shine.
Get an F, fall out F but you. You you set me up for disaster,
so you get an F. He set you up for.
Disaster. It's rock.
It wasn't real. Well, I'm just glad that it
wasn't. He told you.
He told you it wasn't. Right.
And I still feel I thought that was a joke.
So I was like, haha, why would he give me a rock inside of an
egg? You saw the difference between
the egg that I got and the egg that you got.
I thought it may have been a juiced up spinner rack.
I don't know what he does to them.
I don't know what he does. That's fair.
So. That's fair.
He may have produced some kind of weird rock.
Type. I mean, I just thought like, oh,
he's playing oh, that's a rock right there.
That is a solid spinner rack. I was like, EW, why is he giving
me this mutated 1? Whatever.
I guess it's a test to prove how great of a trainer I can be.
I took care of zinc, so do it for this one.
Maybe he tried. Maybe he was trying to kill the
spinner rack Mr. Curtis. I I don't know.
Yeah, it kind of sounds like. I mean, he just said that he he
has proven himself to be able to take care of Pokémon.
He just so happens to not have been able to take care of this
one. Well, there never was one.
It's just a rock. Quite literally did enough
damage to crack a rock in half. So I mean, it seems almost
malicious. I Maybe, maybe we took his
Pokémon, his Pokémon training skills.
We thought of it too highly. Listen, we.
Might need to take back for granted.
No. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Thank you. Thank you everybody.
Anyways, I'll take nothing less than AC.
Minus. Thank you.
No, I'm sorry. It's AD minus.
You're lucky to get that. I should fail you for cracking
your your Granite rock egg in half.
I didn't crack in half. I just most of it.
All right. Well, I guess we should probably
move. On Yeah, yeah.
Professor, please, if you'll present your egg.
Oh, OK well, I don't have the egg anymore.
It hatched. Oh.
Hey, yes, so I don't. I don't have the egg.
So yeah, it hatched. Anyways, let's go ahead and and
move. On Professor, please.
Yes, you have a. Question.
You did hatch. Those were one of my special
spinner acts. I need, I'm going to need to
get. They're, they're, they're, they
have to get registered in the breeding index.
I have to check their phenotypes and everything.
So right. This is important, professor.
If you would please, if you please present, present your
spinner rack that you have you have at birth.
OK. All right.
All right.
I was hoping to get, you know, by without having to say that's
OK, but listen. All right.
OK, Here's what happened. So the spinner rack hatch,
right. And it came out.
I had it in, you know, a special, a special.
You know a special. Enclosure.
That's it.
Yeah, an enclosure for them that I'd made specifically for them
to come out and thrive. But it hatched and it started to
crawl out, and as soon as its body, like, touched the
atmosphere, it just burst into flames.
What? Whoa.
It immediately. The best that I can tell is some
kind. Of my gosh, some.
Kind of extreme oxidation? Some kind of?
Chemical it must. It must be from the Magmar line.
Jeez. So wait, so.
I thought. I thought I brought the flame.
Professor, I mean like it's like supposed.
To take No, I mean it's not. The professors it was deathly
allergic to to the oxygen in the atmosphere.
I thought I listen. I thought I had.
I had bred out all of the all of the Magmar Line traits to keep
the fire. You bred it in and this this
one, you bred it. Into it.
This one it must have it must have had it.
It's it's a recessive trait. Full body flames so.
Stole. Died under your care, professor.
Oh yeah, it it is Chard. It is crispy.
It's it could not handle the the heat.
Just to to. Oh, you should.
You should have named it Zard and that way you could have
called it Chard Zard. Oh my.
Chard Chard is Zard. That's right.
Oh my. OK, it pains me every time every
time you lose 1, but that's what happens when you breathe the the
flame body but not the flame resistance into a into a.
Pokémon that seems short sighted.
It's Professor. It's not your fault.
It's an oversight of my fault. And I please don't don't carry
this pain with you. I I will carry it on my
shoulders. OK.
So grade or not, No. You get, You get an A professor,
of course. Who's surprised there's there's
no other grade you get? Scoreboard.
That's. Suck it, Corbin.
I'll just. Oh man, it's so hard to see from
up here. Did you get AD Minus?
I can't quite tell, you know, because I'm all the way up here
in an A professor. You're making me feel bad about
myself. Oh no.
What have I done? I can't believe I've made Corbin
feel bad. I've never done that before.
Yeah, yeah. You should stop doing it.
Don't let it happen again. Okay.
All right, so that was a lot of fun, guys.
But I think we should talk about the Pokémon that we're here to
learn about this week. Does anybody know who that is?
It is the evolved form of spinner rack, so this should be
like over and done, Curtis. Is it Aria?
Of course. Well, that would of course be
Aria. Does, yes.
Oh, Corbin, you you took it. You took it away from me.
Well, you took my. Grade away from me a good one
that I needed. Yeah, Mr. Curtis's grades, you
know, are are they aren't. They aren't counted in this
class, but for some reason they are counted for the next class
that you go to. Yeah, so just make sure.
And it's a large, a large portion of that grade.
It's part of my 10 year contract.
Gotcha. Yeah, yeah.
So I hope you weren't planning on passing whatever class you
were going to next. I'd like to.
Nope. Too bad.
So yeah, we are learning about ariados today, and I have one
here. It's not the one that I got from
Mr. Curtis, right? Because it's dead.
Again, it did burst in the flames when it's body touched
the atoms. Not my fault, but here is an
Aria dose. Oh gosh, that's creepy.
I don't know if I'm a fan of this guy.
Yeah, more OK Corbin's initial impressions.
Do you like this more or less than spinner rack?
It's a little more fierce looking than spinner rack.
Spinner rack was, you know, disgusting and it's dirtiness.
But this one is a little bit more creepy.
The appendages are longer. It's it's, I mean it's red.
It's got these. Purple and yellow, right?
It's appendages are longer Corbin.
That's interesting because it is the long leg Pokémon.
Right. Exactly.
I knew that I started ahead this time.
But it's got this giant horn. The the horn has gotten bigger.
It's got these gross mandibles, these gross beady verbal eyes
and it's butts big. And it's.
Got those mandibles, though? Don't Don't you think you'd love
to be chewed on by those mandibles?
Why would I like that? Why would anybody?
Like that chewed on. Every time I see one of those
mandibles, I go that would be that's, that's such those.
Those are good for biting and for slurping.
In that order, yeah. Biting and slurping.
OK. So and you know considering the
Mandibles and everything else about Ari dose, what do you
think about huggability? I wanna put that at a -10. 14
out of 14 Let's go. Corbin, I request that you stay
on the scale. I'm gonna say 3.
Wow. Wow.
That's as bad as a magmar, Yeah? 'Cause you say the?
Pokémon that's literally on fire.
Look at his face right here. Let's see, when the grubby is
squeezing like this, you could squeak the little man the boys
like. Just no.
Oh my God, I just snapped his finger.
Off. Oh, she's just a little love
bite. What?
There's.
So much. Bleeding.
So much blood. Oh no, it's OK Here, I just stop
it up with a little bit of webbing from my bad fucking.
I can't be I'm. So glad you guys aren't seeing
this. So should we should we grab the
piece of finger that it fit off so it can put it on ice or
something? Oh no, no, no.
Don't worry. OK, it has fully consumed the
finger unfortunately. It's not the first time it's
happened. I got.
Now you're now you're down to five fingers, Mr. Curtis.
On that hand, yeah. Miss Definitely on that hand.
You're violent, Chris. You're pretty crazy.
Area dose Wait. Chris Yeah, who's Chris?
Chris, that's the area dose, yeah, he's got a name tag.
You didn't see it. He's got, he's got A tag, I
don't know, his front arm. It says Chris on it.
Where did you get him from? Did he already have a name?
Professor. I guess you know this is just
from the from the stockroom, the Pokémon stockroom.
I don't know. I don't know, Corbin.
It's it looks more like a Berry. You sure it's not that, Chris?
Are you sure it's not a Berry? No, that's that on his on the
professor's desk. That's a Berry.
That's a Berry that he has in his fruit tray.
No, this is Chris. It has a name tag right on his
arm right here. It's like tattooed on to him,
you know what I mean? That's cool.
Well, maybe Chris is like is like this Aria doses.
I don't know, father. Or maybe it's loved one.
Maybe. Maybe it's, I don't know, it's
Spinner Rack, baby. What's your story, big guy?
Why do you have the name Chris tattooed on you?
You're so deep. No, it's.
Just a good. I mean, it's a cool name.
It also happens to be one of our patrons.
So I mean, that's pretty grooming the odds.
One of the odds. Hey Chris, spin us a web.
Tell us a story. Maybe he belongs to our patron.
I can always count on Mr. Curse to laugh at my jokes.
It's such a good joke, professor.
I hate it. Thank you.
You know, you know what?
Those are the two reactions that I strive for when it comes to
these jokes. I want one person to love it and
one person to hate it. When I hit that, then you know,
I've made the I've, I've made it perfect.
I always love it. I've really threaded that
needle. Perfectly balanced, as all
things should be. OK, but yeah, so maybe, hey,
maybe this Ariados does belong to Chris our, our patron.
Hey, if anybody else out there wants a Pokémon named after
them, go ahead and, you know, become a patron on Patreon.
That's right. That's right.
We'll talk more about that later though.
Yes. OK.
So I think we should go ahead and put Chris back into the
pokeball. OK, goodbye Chris.
Disgusting and creepy, and I won't want to see you anytime
soon. Bye buddy.
That's how he says goodbye to me too.
I know well. Really, really starts to weigh
on the on the whole. Always.
If you're not mean to me every day.
I've never there's there's no proof.
There's no proof of me, ever. To go.
You're the nicest professor ever, Professor.
Please don't let it. Don't let him get to you.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Curtis.
At least at least somebody respects me.
There's a little bit of respect there, not a lot though.
What? And you?
For for you. Well wait, so you respect me?
Don't push it. I respect you, Professor.
There's a little. Bit Oh yeah, we all know that.
We all know that, Mister Curtis. Right.
You respect him too much. Yeah, turn him down.
I'm not worth that. All right, so let's go ahead and
read some Pokedex entries. Of course.
We are starting off in the JoJo region.
The first entry says it spins string not only from its rear,
but also from its mouth. It's hard to tell which end is
which. Now.
I don't think so. Hey, that's wrong.
The. Sphincter on the back doesn't
have mandibles, so. They call that a spinneret.
Corbin please. Spinneret use the proper
technical term. A spinneret.
Yes, I'm. Pretty sure it's a it's a it's
it was a male re dose. No, no, no.
That's where the web comes out on the backside.
Right. But what's what's that part
called? The spinneret.
Yeah, Yeah.
OK, well the spinneret doesn't have mandibles near it, so it's
clearly. I don't know how you could get
them mixed up between the mouth and the butt.
Maybe if you didn't know right, you didn't know which you know.
End of the Aria dose was the was the head.
Maybe you could convince yourself that the patterns on
the back could could possibly be a face.
So it's hard to tell until you know.
And once you know, it's easy to tell them apart.
Well, I think, I think you know it, it is the the head and the
thorax of the of the Aria dose are two different sizes.
So if you know if it's coming from the smaller portion it's
the head, if it's coming from the bigger portion it's the the
spinner head. I mean, I I think.
That's pretty shape forward. But what I'm saying is like
you've never seen an arduous before in your life, not once,
right? And you come across this thing
and it's spinning it web out of both sides of its body, right?
And the patterns on it's back kind of make it look like it has
eyes and it's like legs that are sticking up you know kind of
makes looks like ears potentially.
So you could be like hmm hmm maybe this is maybe this side is
the is is the head. Maybe, but I don't know.
I guess I just see so many of them every day.
It doesn't, doesn't, doesn't come across that way to me.
But OK, Professor. Second nature to you at this
point. Try to put yourself in our shoes
though. I'm so.
Sorry, as as. Non experts as Ariados Spinnerak
shoes. You you're correct for sure.
I'm so sorry. All right, the next entry says.
A single strand of a special string is endlessly spun out of
its rear. The string leads back to its
nest. There is no end to that string,
ever. Endless.
Yeah. Endless.
Wow. So it just keeps producing that
stuff, huh? They track them.
They track them all over the place.
I tell you what, I'm constantly vacuuming up ARIDO strands all
the time. It's so it never wait, wait,
that really does make it sound like it just never stops spewing
out web. Yeah, it's.
I mean, it feels like a key. Keep going.
It's a constant dribble. That's what you have to think of
it as. Like what?
I thought like the way that I read this meant like they could
like if they always have web to shoot if they need to like not.
Not that it's just constantly going, which now that I'm
reading it again, it does kind of sound like, you know, they
can't stop it. So it's not that they can't stop
it, it's just they're always letting a little dribble out the
back so they always know their way home.
Love that. They listen.
They could stop them whenever they wanted to.
Yeah, exactly. Right.
They just they just choose not to.
That's exactly you, Professor. You got it right on the head.
But which end is the head? It's so hard to tell which is.
Ah, good point. All right, the next entry says
rather than making a nest in one specific spot, it wanders in
search of food after darkness falls.
But so where is the? Where is the string leading back
to right? The string leads back to its
nest, right? But it doesn't make a nest in
one specific spot. It's all whatever.
Wherever the the string ends, that's where it nests that
night. OK?
That's how it figures it out. But wouldn't that be?
Wouldn't that be where it came from?
Wouldn't that be its original nest?
Not not always. I mean it can always come back,
but also it can stop and and start the dribble at any time,
so could be someplace else. I hate this.
I hate. I hate that you call it the
dribble. That's the T-shirt today.
Aria dose with a basketball made of web.
It says start the dribble. Start the dribble.
More T-shirts that nobody will understand.
I love it. Wouldn't have it any other way.
All right, let's move on to the hohen region.
The first entry says Ariados's feet are tipped with tiny hooked
claws that enable it to scuttle on ceilings and vertical walls.
This, this Pokémon constricts the foe with thin and strong
silk webbing. Can climb on walls, yeah.
We've heard a lot of stories about how strong Mr. Curtis's
spinrax webs are, so I mean nothing new here.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess good to know
that an Aridos is just as strong.
What kind of wild stuff can you do with Aridos Webbing Mr.
Curtis? I've built bridges out of.
It wait, wait, as in like you like tied the wood or metal
together with with the webbing. Like suspension bridges like you
run, you run webbing back and forth and then planks in between
it and. OK, OK.
I've It's pretty impressive. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I've.
Do they actually, like, hold things?
Or yeah, yeah, it's very strong, very strong.
You can use it to like build layers like if you look at the
inside of my jacket here can you see this this layer in here
that's that's actually re dose. You know the patches on the
outside are are Spinnerek web because the Spinnerek web is a
little bit more sticky it's better for like patching things
together but the Aria dose web on the inside is like thicker
nicer stronger layer for like extra protection as well as
warmth. Yeah insulation exactly you got
it. So I I I use it for all sorts of
different things. OK, so two things.
Yeah. Wow, is it tasty.
I don't typically eat it, but but you could in a pinch.
Like you do you like fry it? Do you boil it?
What do you how do? You saute it, yeah.
Saute it, you put it on the grill.
How do you how do you cook this? Webex fresh, fresh and raw warm
from this from the argue dose. That's so.
Gross. That was, yeah.
You know, I'm looking, I'm looking through a list and that,
yeah, that was the worst possible thing that you could
have said. Slurp it.
Slurp it right down like spaghetti.
Nope, that's disgusting. I'm gonna vomit, I suppose.
Farm to table. This is the sickest I've ever
felt in the lesson. Spinneret to mouth.
That's right. That's Mr. Curtis Way.
It feels like we're treading on early lesson territory here.
No. What are you talking about?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
That's for young Corbin. Mr. Young Corbin.
That's. Right, Mr. Young Corbin.
Mr. Young Corbin There's nothing.
That Hey, wait, wait. I'm no Mime.
Then why are you talking with your with your hands?
That's right. I I'm a very animated
individual. That's why, yeah, you kind of
like, you know, put like a weird like barrier up in front of you
right there that. Was awesome.
No, like it was like. Almost like it was a reflex.
No, it wasn't. Yeah, like it's something that's
just ingrained. I'm not.
No, no, no, no, No mime here.
No, no. All boy.
All right, let's just continue. Mimes can be boys all right.
And boys can be mimes. All right, so and now we have
you. Hey, that's not me.
All right, whatever. That's the one we should talk to
Perry about together moving on in the cinema region.
There is one entry. It says it attaches silk to its
prey and sets it free. Oh, later, wow.
Later it tracks the silk to the prey and it's friends.
Oh, it's a tactic. Whoa.
Yeah, it's a hunt hunter killer. That's a that's an Aria does for
you. That is messed up.
So if you're like Pokémon is like running around the woods or
whatever, and then it comes back to you, it's like gone for like
a little bit longer than you expected to.
And then it comes back and it has like, you know, like some
webbing, yeah, stuck to its foot.
Just dribbling out behind. You get off and you get out of
there. That like 'cause you were about
to be swarmed by Aria doses. Yeah, you don't want to be,
especially if it's starting to get dark outside.
You do not they they become more active at night.
It's just not. It's not a good place.
Yeah, they don't call her the night mother for nothing.
That's right. OK, so yeah, hey, that was a
wild entry. That was that was terrifying.
Yeah, like I I was. It's been a while since I've
read these, so I guess I forgot. But it was like, you know, the
first I was like, oh, wow, that's so nice of it.
It like it like wraps it up as like, a little joke.
And it is. You see why I like Spinarak and
Aria dose so much. It's the perfect, perfect poke.
It's fun. It's.
Kind of messed up, honestly. It's.
Really terrifying actually. Yeah, problematic, I would say.
You know what? I'll say it.
I'll cancel an Aria dose. Wow.
Sure I can't. Aria Dose is canceled.
Professor, you can't. Don't do that.
Professor, please. All right, you've convinced me.
The next Pokedex entry has come to us from the Alola region.
Because Unova and Kalos are good for nothing.
They don't care. But a lot Alola cares.
That's right, they say there are some areas where people use the
string REDA spins for their own weaving.
The resulting cloth is popular for its strength.
There you go. See right here in the jacket.
That's right here. He's not crazy.
Rub rub your hand against it Corbin.
You feel that I would rather die?
I'd rather, I'd rather jump on his high end, yeah.
Mr. Curtis just. Rubbing your old name your
carbon I'm. Just rubbing on you, any part of
you, and this is not appropriate to people, doesn't feel good.
The context of this, I'm not rubbing it.
You're you're rubbing it for yourself with your hand.
I'm not doing that. I'm not doing it.
OK, Nope. It is very comfortable cloth and
strong and very protecting so. I believe it.
I don't need to touch it. Coward.
Yep, that's fine. I'll die by that.
I'm a small 10 year old boy and I'm scared.
I mean, yeah, I don't want to touch this strange man's jacket.
Sorry. It's it's for teaching purposes,
Corbin. I just listen, listen, that's
not going to hold up in court, OK?
I'm not doing that. See.
It's graded in everything. I'll put don't worry, I'll swap
out your sheets and your pillowcase tonight with it.
You you. Once you sleep with it tonight,
you'll you'll know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, it's hard to get. You're used to how like Slick it
is, but you know you'll you'll get used to it pretty quick.
It's not as sticky as the spinner rack silk, so it's you
don't have to worry about it getting all up in your like in
your hair and stuff. I don't want it on me, please.
Sometimes you really got to let him, let him work it out
himself. That's true, even even if it's
terrible audio content. You know what can we do?
I tell you what, I'll go to your room tonight.
I'll I'll put in two beds and one will have it and one won't,
and you get to decide. I'm not sleeping with silk.
Corbin, remember how I told you that, you know you don't want
Mr. Curtis to leave the classroom?
Yeah, this is this is the kind of stuff that he does.
This is what he gets into. OK, stay here, please.
OK, just 'cause you asked. Thank you.
OK, let's let's focus up here. Let's move on, the next entry
says. It spins thread from both its
rear and its mouth. Then it wraps its spray up in
thread and sips their bodily fluids at its leisure.
That's disgusting. You know, after it's after it's
used its webbing to, you know, track down all of its praise
friends. And then it wraps them up and it
sips their bodily fluids at its leisure.
Yummy, hope you guys aren't eating right now.
It is at Listen. It's nice and sweet and tasty,
you know. What is?
What is?
What do you all? What is?
What is that?
Maple syrup, right. That's my sweet.
That's right. Yeah.
He he just said he didn't say Maple syrup, he just said syrup.
Sweet syrup? Blood syrup, perhaps?
No. Why are you putting quotation
marks up when you say syrup? I I don't know what you're
talking about the. Entrails of another fallen
Pokémon? Maybe a Squirtle perhaps?
No the. Bodily fluids of a ratatat.
I would never do anything to a Squirtle.
That's would be a horrible. Thing Well, that's not true.
You have. I mean, I've not, I've not been
proven to be guilty of doing anything to Squirrel.
But you've proven to be a menace.
Yeah, he said. I mean, listen, he's proven that
he will not do anything, anything to a squirrel because
he refused to give CPR to it. That's right.
Exactly. I'd, I'd, I, if I had been made
aware of the distress of that Squirtle, I would have
intervened. OK.
That's all I have to say. Yeah.
OK. All right, the next entry says.
Every night it wanders around in search of prey, whose movements
it restrains by spewing threads before it bites into them with
its fangs. I prefer mandibles, but you know
fangs are good too. Step 1.
Wandering Step 2. Finding Prey.
Step 3. Spewing Threads 4.
Biting with Fangs. All right, you got you got to
wander before you can spew, right?
That's a backup T-shirt. Backup T-shirt.
I don't know if it's a main one. Is that a T-shirt that you wear
when you're walking backwards? Yeah, probably.
There's a method to this madness?
All right, so let's see here. I think that does it for oh
wait, no, hold on. I have a regional pokeex entry
coming to us from the Lentil region, of course from Professor
Mirror. It says Ariados spins silk from
both its rear and its mouth. It uses the silk to build its
web and catch prey. If it's not on its web, you can
bet it's wandering around somewhere searching for food.
Tis. True Step one.
Wander Step 2. Find prey.
Say it with me, Step 3. Spew.
Spew Webbing. Yeah.
Step 4. Step 4.
Bite and suck those fluids. Yeah, you got it.
Very good, Mr. Mr. Curtis. You nailed it.
Corbin, What you can do better? You'll do better next.
Time OK, this is a good lesson to listen to if you're eating
pasta. Separate right now.
Yeah, slurp, slurp up that pasta.
And definitely don't look at that red marinara sauce and
think of bodily fluids. No, no, no.
Don't do that. Whatever you do.
I can see you're doing it right now.
Stop it, I said. Don't do.
That that's what stop it. It's not.
Stop it. It's definitely not the blood
and intestines. Of another of another.
Pokémon of an unfortunate Pokémon that has been wrapped
up. That's right.
OK, why are we doing this? I don't know.
I have some unique Pokedex entries here.
The first one comes to us from ashes.
Pokedex. It says Aerodose, the long leg
Pokémon, the evolved form of spinner rack Aerodose.
Aerodose is able to spin extremely strong sticky webs to
trap its adversaries. Whoa.
OK, not prey. Strong and very sticky areas.
I mean prey is like an adversary though.
When they fight. When they fight back.
When the prey fights. When they when they fight back,
yeah, it's a little bit of an adversary.
When they foolishly and and feverishly fight back.
Like they could. Like they could escape.
As if they could do anything to the all powerful Aria dose woo
Professor. So I think I asked this for
spinner act. But what's what's the prey of an
of an Aria dose Mr. Curtis? A larger Pokémon that are
wandering around, You know, maybe maybe a wandering Taurus?
That'd be pretty good. Jeez, do you imagine a Taurus
just wrapped up in an Aria dose web Like you're walking around
the forest and you hear like a muffled, like, you know, Taurus
cry. It's like.
That was a good one. Do it again.
Thank you, no. And then you like to look up and
you see a giant web with like, just the the silhouette of a
wrapped up Taurus up there. Oh my God.
It it is truly beautiful to see a a strong Aria dose at work.
So gross. Yep.
Horrifying, so only tauruses. Dork maybe a dodrea.
Dodrea would be pretty good sometimes.
Sometimes they'll go after the grass types, like an eggs
guitar. Oh really?
What? Yeah, yeah.
What? Eggs.
Guitar. Eggs.
Guitar. Yeah, that's guitar, Yeah.
Sure, why not? That's.
A fun you Novan. Dish Yeah Or or a hypno A hypno
that. Have you ever had an eggs guitar
with kale? It's delicious.
Yeah. Did you guys, did you go down
the egg aisle and the and the grocery and the grocery store,
It was eggs, guitar. If you can, if you can catch a
Hypno without looking in its eyes, you can get, you know,
catch one of those. That'd be pretty good.
They're pretty good. About avoiding eye contact so I
could do that. Wait.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on, Yeah, hold on.
Hold. On isn't, isn't it?
It's a little medallion, the thing that hit, that hypnotizes
you, not its eyes. Well, you don't want to I think.
I think it's like when it, when it looks, does, isn't it?
When you looks at you professor, that it like hits you with the
with the different psychic attacks, doesn't the hip know?
Keep keep keep saying the the dumb things that you were saying
I'll, I'll, I'll look into. I mean, I mean, yes, the
pendulum puts the the, the foes to sleep, but I think it, I
think it has to look you in the eyes when it uses the like a
confusion attack on you or something like that.
Oh yeah, it does say when it locks eyes and the enemy will
use a mix of sign moves as it's hypnosis and confusion.
All right, fair enough. Put me in my place.
I I would never. I would never.
Profess Yeah, you know what You're you're the professor now.
No, no, no, no. Please please.
Sleep time. I I did this last time.
I don't like it. I don't like it.
OK. I guess we will.
Go on with the next section. Do you want to quit?
Are we good? Professor no, no, no, no, no.
Professor Curtis. OK.
All right. Do you remember?
All right, I'm back all. Right.
Oh, welcome back. Hey, sorry.
Everybody shut up for a. Second Oh yeah, he he was he was
not doing a good job. So I'm glad you actually came
back. I I I had to open the Pokedex up
real quick, 'cause I I I was just listening.
I wasn't like reading the Pokedex while you were while you
were saying it. So like that would be sacrilege?
Wait, wait, you were just. Listening.
I mean, I I was listening and taking notes.
OK, that's what I thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, a lot of this stuff, I already know all that stuff.
I already know it's already committed to memory.
But when you say it, Professor, I have to take dictations.
All right, so the next entry comes to us from Dawn's Pokedex.
It says. Yeah.
Why would she ever get close to one?
Does she not value her beauty enough?
Like, I don't get it. It's like, why would someone so
beautiful get next to something so hideous?
Just doesn't make sense. Why would you say such a mean
thing about Dawn? Dawn's not that hideous.
No, dawn is the best thing in the world.
She is the dawn of the sun that rises in the east.
Yeah, why would the beautiful and powerful Ariados get close
to the ugly, disgusting Dawn? No, never.
Going to catch it with it's with it's but with her Pokedex.
I'm going to go feral if you keep talking that way about my
girl. She's not your girl.
She doesn't know you exist. No, yet she doesn't.
But trying to get her number, trying to hit up some mutuals,
You know what I'm saying? And.
How's that going? Trying to get some digits.
Yeah, you don't. You don't even have a phone.
I have a Rotom phone. I called Porsche on it earlier.
Oh God, that is true. That is true.
Who gave you a phone? My mom gave me a phone.
Can I? Can I read Don's Pokedex entry
God? Please.
Ariados, the long legged Pokémon and the evolved form of spinner
rack. It is said to attach string to
its prey and intentionally set it free, only to recapture it
along with its companions. Seems like a very effective way
to go hunting to me. I wish.
She'd set me free, then recapture me.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty brutal, pretty pretty awful thing to do
if. Yeah, if if you ask me, but
nobody's asking me. Capture me?
I'm asking Don, please. Capture my heart.
Capture me and all my friends Don.
Please. Capture me and then send me away
and just so you can recapture me with all my friends.
Yeah, send me to your dungeon. I'm.
Sorry, what? What'd you say?
I'd I didn't say that. It was the most with the wind.
All right. So that does it for all of the
Pokedex entries on Aria dose. Excellent job everybody.
We're really thank you. Thank you give.
Me some highlights there. All right.
So now it's time for the testing portion.
So if we're all ready today, we are going to do a poem.
We're not going to. Put.
The There is a silver lining here.
I will listen. I will deal with some stupid
Pokémon entries about a stupid gross bug type.
That means I get to do a poem about it.
All right. So in this poem you have to tell
me how much you love Ariados. No, Yes that that is the topic
of the poem. I don't normally give poem
topics. No, please, I am being held back
artistically if you do that. And wonderful.
You know, Corbin, you strive under pressure, strive under
adversity. That's that's the, you know,
that's the only way to really progress in the art world.
So show me that you can strive here.
No. And maybe you.
Know no striving here. OK, only struggling.
Oh, no striving, only struggling.
Amazing T-shirt. Is it though?
Oh yeah.
No, we'll never make it, So we'll never know.
All right. So go ahead, take some time.
Write a poem about how much you love Aria Dose and then we'll
we'll read them I. Don't want to.
I don't want to love it. Yeah, Mr. Curtis is already
done. I could write you 1000 poems,
Professor. Oh, please don't.
OK, looks like my students are ready to perform so.
I'm ready to perform for you, Professor Corbin.
Yes. I would love to hear how much
you love ariados in the form of a poem, please.
OK, here we go. This one I call Silk.
Here we go. White like milk.
A web of silk. I am tied below in your nest.
I'll try my best to rip. The vines that grow.
I break free. Finally free.
I didn't mean to do that twice. My bed away from your hooked
claws to meet my friends. I'm safe again until I see your
maw emerge at night, giving us fright.
A web captures all returning to where you call your lair.
Death for us befalls, and that's it.
You doing OK, man? I'm doing great actually.
OK, OK. I think the assignment was to
talk about how much you like or how much you love re dose.
I love that it made me, you know, open up with myself and
realize that it's OK to get help.
That's a that's a beautiful part about Aria dose is it really
brings you in terms of your of of mortality.
I was going to say that's the thing that I do love about Aria
Dose for sure. Yeah, it it it comes face to it.
Looking at Aria Dose is like looking face to face with death.
And yeah, every day is a fight. Oh God, that sounds so awful.
Hey, it's true. True, though.
And and hey, every day we win, so.
That's right. So there's that.
All right. So, yeah, great.
Great poem. Thanks.
They included a lot of good, important stuff about what we
learned in class. So, excellent job, Mr. Curtis.
Please. Give us your poem.
Let me just get a quick. No, you are.
You already did it this last thing.
You don't need to. You don't.
Need to do it again, Mr. Curtis, Do you really need that much
more syrup? OK.
All right. Quick dose of energy to to boost
myself here are you dose Smaryu Dose Fi, FIFO Fariados.
Good Lord. Your big, your big wife.
Think he can't get any worse? Professor.
OK, all right.
Let me start. Let me start over.
Please don't. Grades.
Are you Dose Smaryu Dose Fi FIFO Fariados.
Your big white mandibles can squeeze me so heartios your feet
seize with hooksies let you climb on the walls.
No need to worry about Aria dose it never falls.
You shoot your web from your head or your rear.
Some people can't tell them apart, I fear.
Follow your strands back home or to dinner.
Walking around at night they'll wrap you up tight.
You'll slurp up my juices. No chance for a fight.
I I love your strong webs and my strong jacket lining the end.
Wow. That last line, honestly.
Don't like it? Kind of came out of nowhere.
All right, this could have not been included at all.
Honestly, none of it could have been included.
Don't do it this. Hey, good job, Mr. Curtis.
Thank you. Thank you.
You know, you talked about things that we learned about.
I like that you include the fact that we can't tell apart its
face and its butt. Thank you.
It's just a silly quirk that we humans have.
I mean, not me, but but you know.
Because you're not human, right? Are you?
Yeah, if I could request you in the future not start off with
your your poems with you know the Pokémon's name and then you
know V5 O like and then rhyme the Pokémon name with with an F
sound, that would be great. And going forward in the future,
like I'll allow it this time, but going forward in the future
don't do that. You you didn't like that,
professor? I just kind of took up time,
didn't it Didn't really have any value of any kind.
None of it. Does, I thought it.
I thought it sounded kind of, you know, theatrical little.
So I get an A little artsy. Fartsy a little fee fi fee.
Fi foe fom is artsy and not like a children's nursery thing, but
artsy. All right, whatever you say.
Anyways, I mean, regardless, you both get full marks.
This is as always, poems are kind of a freebie for everybody,
so, so excellent job all around. I can tell everybody you know,
really work hard and really try it on it.
So that's all that matters. That's going to do it for
today's lesson. Does anybody know what Pokémon
we are learning about next week? Are we done with bug types
finally? Yes, well, for now, I mean we're
never done done with bug types, but the next Pokémon is not a
bug type. Give me a hint.
Is it decit Your eye, Professor? No, but it is interesting
because we have talked about this Pokémon's evolutionary line
before. OK, this.
Is a continuation. Of so is it Agron?
So is it Snorlax? Well, OK.
No, we already talked about Snorlax.
I mean, we already talked about Snorlax.
I mean much LAX. No, it's not much LAX.
It's not. No, it's not Agron.
Yep. No, That evolves from Aaron.
Yep. Have we talked about Aaron?
I guess not. OK.
All right. So hold on.
No, wait, this is the this is the flappy one.
This one's got flaps on it, doesn't it?
Yeah, and I bat. You can't tell me.
Oh, Novar. Piggy.
We're talking about Piggy. OK, get.
No, we. We've already talked about
Piggy, so he wouldn't be talking about Piggy, I mean.
But we could be talking about Piggy too.
This is Piggy too, the sequel to Piggy, right?
No. And it's not Northern like you
said, Corbin. In fact, I'm just going to tell
you, we are learning about Crobat, which is the evolved
form of Golbat, which I guess they don't have over there in
the Canto region, but they discovered them here in the Jota
region somehow. So yeah, I can look forward to
that. Until then, we should probably
wrap up the class. Before I go, I have a pretty
important announcement, guys. It's that time of year again.
Yeah, Do we get to clean the classroom?
Well, you should be cleaning the classroom every single day.
I do every time, but I mean locking deep, no no no.
I do it every day, but I just mean like deep purge, like
strip, repaint, resurface. Refinish.
That's right. So you don't do that every day.
No, I don't. I don't relacquer.
Should I be relacquering? Wow.
A real professor. The student will be doing all
that too. Wow.
Yeah, you're not relacquering every day.
It sounds like you're. Relaxing.
It sounds like you're relaxing a little too much.
It sounds like you're AC lacquer?
He asked me. I'm so sorry.
Right, He's relaxing. Why We really got him, Corbin.
I got him. No, but the time of year that
I'm referring to is that it is time to vote for a new class
president. Oh, you're out Vespa.
