Hello there and welcome to the world of Pokemon.
My name is Professor Jacob and thank you so much for attending
this lecture on Pokemon biology. Joining me here in the
classroom. Today is of course, my wonderful
teaching assistant, mr. Curtis mr.
Curtis, you could please say hello to everybody.
Why? Hello there professor and Hello
to you, too, Corbin. Oh, thank you, like our steam
students at home. Why are you talking?
Like, you're a cartoon character?
I had this is the new mr. Curtis, I'm turning a new Leaf
for the new year, okay? And I'm going to be an even
better more. Proactive friendly teaching
assistant. Well, we're already a week into
the New Year. Please blink, please.
Yeah, you are. I'm very close to Corbin really
well. I never want to take my eyes off
of you ever. Okay all right.
Why don't you back up a little bit buddy around.
This is really uncomfortable. All right well mr.
Cars already kind of introduced him, but we also have here in
the classroom today, our trainer and training young Corbin you
could say, hello to everybody, please, huh?
What? I'm sorry, I'm just distracted
by his face. He will not blink.
He is straight. It looks like he peeled somebody
else's skin off and is wearing it on his face.
This is just Who this I'm glad this is not a.
There's no video element to this class, because this is the most
terrifying thing I've ever seen. Oh my goodness.
Oh, hi, everyone. Hi, it's good to be here in
class. I'm excited for the new year.
New year, new experiences new Pokemon to learn about new new
Pokedex entries. Do I hear a new region, maybe
this year? I don't know about.
Yeah, baby. Yeah, this year, maybe.
Yeah, I think I think we'll make it.
Are we gonna start different Johto this year?
You know, we'll see, we'll see where the wind takes us and how,
I mean, we'll see if this class lasts long enough, I've heard
some some musings from the principle that he's planning on
defunding us. Oh, so the PO, don't worry,
don't worry about that. I won't let that happen at all.
Can you stop sounds like, you're not like this?
Like, bad voice acting that is you are, what?
What do you what are you planning?
Do you then, mr. Curtis, what's your plan to keep
him from, you know, whatever it takes, you can't for me to know
and you to just enjoy class. Why are you patting your
backpack like that? Are you threatening the
principal? This is on the record that
you've already been. If you've already been guilty of
drowning, the Squirtle and killing it.
So, I mean, you really want to add more to your rap sheet.
Mr. Carter, I am guilty, he wasn't home.
I was never, never formally. Charged it's time.
Think it's dropped new year, new.
You it's time to confess. It's time to own up.
Yeah let's let's hear it. Let's hear it.
No, I there's nothing to say that the professor compels you
to tell the truth. It's against the law to disobey
him the processor. Compels you Professor.
Can I get you a glass of water? Or why are you gonna drown me?
And I soda, how about a coffee? No, no, I don't need any drinks.
I don't think mr. Curtis, thank you for offering.
Instead, I think we should really hunker down and start to
talk about, you know, our Pokémon of the day.
Is anybody, you know who we're talking about today?
Ooh, I will say mr. Curtis you should be very
excited for this Pokemon. Yes, I am.
We're talking about deciduous. I right.
Oh no really. Oh we're not talking about this
is you, I know but I think the situate eats this type of
Pokemon. I I don't I think it does.
I'm not sure, I'm not sure exactly.
On the eating habits rice has been type.
Not the species that type the type bong-gun.
It's a bug tight. It is a bug.
Type O is a grass-type though, but it's flying to write.
Is it also for its flying in Grass?
Yeah, sure. Let me Asylum.
Just confirm that it's part bird.
Pokemon. Of course it's going to eat how
it is. Lying.
Okay. No it's not actually.
No it's not. It's not I was right.
It's not. Lying, what the situation is
grass and ghost-type cause you're thinking of Rowling and
dart Rex its pre-revolutionary forms by the time it gets to the
situation. I'm paying or not paid, we've
been over this right? Um, I think it's slicer, right?
I'm in a good mood. I'm in a good mood today.
I'm gonna give that one to you Corbin.
Nice. So golden star for Corbin.
There you go. You, you're in a good mood.
You sniff Gary. The Shroomish on the way into
class. Absolutely, man.
Gary has been on extended leave. We haven't really had Gary
around for a while. You can definitely tell the the
the lawn maintenance is really starting.
To let something I'm well after the store better, hope would
come and prevent you from walking in that tall grass.
Well, I also think the fact that this the city and the school
was, you know, destroyed by Kangaskhan earthquake, I don't
think the the grounds have been to priority, you know?
Well I mean, they redid the entire school.
I think then Landscaping will be a part of that but well I mean
look where is Gary? See on sabbatical?
Is it? Yeah he did.
Do we have confirmation that he survived the events of that
fateful day? I mean, Ozzy he does send me
some letters every so often don't know how he writes them.
I'm pretty sure she misses don't have hands so I'm not quite sure
how he writes them maybe it's Tom.
But yeah I know he told he told us when he left that it was
always his it was his lifelong dream to climb Mountain silver.
So no kidding well he's what he's doing to die because he's
little that's he's been he's been writing me letters so he's
not dead yet. Yeah.
He must be dictating them to how he doesn't speak English.
I mean, but he has a very I love I speak Shroomish so I can read
what he writes that. Yes, it's a, it's a very lovely
speaking voice anyway. So saw slicers the Pokemon.
Today, close its Scyther. We're learning about Scyther.
Oh, oh. Oh yeah.
Oh, oh. That's okay.
That's why you didn't have it. Gotcha, okay, well I almost did
yes. Yeah, sure, we're learning about
Scyther. It's a bug flying type as the
first bug type Pokemon that we talked about since venomoth.
I believe it's been a very, it's the there's not two.
Too terribly, many bug types. And in the Kanto region, I think
we have only a couple more coming up and very, very
resistant to grass. So I don't know if this is you,
I would be very good against. Yeah, I just sent you, I would
get messed up. If it were to try to fight us
either. Absolutely just sad.
Oh yeah, as as would all Pokemon trying to find a bug type?
I mean, let's be honest. Okay.
Is the most Superior, I think anybody could take out a Metapod
so you're wrong. Yeah.
Well, what are your, what are your views, and opinions on
Metapod. Not that one sloshes all that
good juice all over you. I think nobody wants to fight
it. Nobody wants to fight after
that. Yeah, that's true.
Everybody's Got A Plan until they got Metapod juice all over
them. Hey, right.
That could go on a t-shirt. Now.
Stop it with the T-shirt. What is this t-shirt thing?
You have going on? I looks like the Hat business is
not taken off. Oh no!
Alright. So sorry to hear that t-shirt.
I feel like some of the virtual students would Like t-shirts.
Am I right? Yeah, we would see.
See well, who? Let them in the class.
Give them a team that was me. Curtis, that was cute curse.
That was a joke. Hey, Joey.
Hey, this is a closed classroom. I filled all out in here unless
they have the past. I fooled all of them.
I'm so good. And also, quarter of what do you
mean your happiness isn't taking off?
I mean, I assume that you have to take them off at some point,
the hats, You're not laughing though, which is why I would
that's a good joke. Thank you, New Year.
Same left for mr. Professor you get a gold star.
What's the thank you? Can't give cheese how you poke
it into my eyeball. That's cheating.
He's the professor. He's a good gold stars.
I can get gold stars. Yeah, sure.
You can't. I just gave him one.
Yeah, mr. Curtis can't get gold stars
though because he gives them out, so he can't receive them.
That's right. I'm a giver.
Not a taker. We're losing.
We're losing track of. The class here.
I think we need to refocus. Has anybody seen a site there in
person? They are very rare.
They don't show themselves to humans that frequently.
So I haven't have not seen one in person.
You know, I did one time when I was little when I was in the
Johto region, I did see the bug catching contest and there was a
crowd of people and I saw a glimpse of a site there, but I
didn't get a good, you know, full frontal view of it.
It's very sharp. Yeah.
So you have seen In one then mr. Curtis yes, yes, hmm.
Okay. I'm familiar with all bug types.
Very, very you have an affinity for them.
Yes. Someone saying that much.
I have one here today so if we would like to see her.
Y'all be a 0. A girl?
Sure. Yes, it's serious.
Look again, all right here is South are Oh wow.
She's beautiful. Look at those because giant
knives on her own cut. My steak.
You know, you you'd be surprised.
That's actually one of the functions of those that we call
them a science. Oh, okay.
Okay. It's tightly Scyther you get.
Yeah. Okay.
I understand. You know what?
Yes, that's a really would be a really cool profession for a
Scyther Hibachi. I'm Hibachi chef.
Oh yeah. That would be.
I mean, honestly, having a site there in the In the kitchen
would be a massive help. Oh my god.
Listen, I've already completed the picture Pokémon for the day.
How about how you gonna say private Hibachi chef?
There you go. Well, we aren't doing a pitch
Pokemon today. Unfortunately, you say we're
doing a quiz, I'm jumping out of this one.
Then I am be. So excited for that Queen.
Shut up. You'll just, you'll just have to
stick around and find out what we do at the end of class.
But while we have Scyther, I hears anything you notice about
her anything that you would like to.
Two notes. Well, she is very green.
Yes, obviously is important. She kinda has a very Fierce
looking face like she's mad. But yes, I don't think that she
is kind of hard to tell. Hence I think it s just very
menacing. Yeah.
Hey baby, don't don't accuse her of having RBF.
Okay. Was that mean?
Not very polite? Yeah.
What does that mean? Mr. Curtis its spell it out for
us. Yeah.
Wonder what RBF mean? Yeah.
What is our VM? If specifically what do the
words and RBF me and oh, resting resting bitch face.
No, I thought it was resting but do face when you just look like
an idiot. Her yeah, yeah.
Well I wouldn't say, that's either looks like an idiot
Professor Birch. But do you know, they're both?
They both look like idiots. So whichever one you want to go
with. Wow, insulting a professor is
not is very uncharacteristic of you.
Mr. Curtis. Wow.
You are, the you are the one and only Professor for me, professor
Other professors. Hmm.
Okay, all right. Yeah, clearly you have a disdain
for not as good as you. Yes.
So green kind of a very intense face anything else segmented,
bodies, body parts. You know like yeah, like a lot
like the legs and the hips and the arms are all kind of like
separated by like a tiny little. Yellowish, I don't even know
what you would call it. It's like it's like very humbly
Bridge. We got like a bridge.
Yeah, between body like a That form between body parts.
Sure. Yeah.
It's a tendon or something. I don't know.
Just some nice Wings. Yes, your goings.
Yes. Remember B Scyther is also a
flying-type Pokémon. No kidding.
Okay I can fly I think I think Butterfree was also a flying
type of bug flying-type Pokémon so it's not uncommon or bugti
Pokemons also have a secondary flying typing.
Sure ya gotta get around somehow right?
Yeah but Butterfree sure. Talks about?
Yeah, ranma's one yanma. Yeah.
Uh-huh. Dunsparce yeah vespiqueen yes.
I've made this clear before it is vespiquen, not Queen.
And you put some you put some pretty hard emphasis on the
queen. They're almost as if you're
trying to antagonize me. Well, she's a queen but I but
she's also a Quinn. Yeah man.
Uh-huh beautifly. Beautiful eyes.
One data may actually be pretty cool to put on a t-shirt.
She's a queen but she's also a Quinn.
I don't think you actually don't think that would be good to put
on a t-shirt. I don't think so like like a
vespiquen on at me like she's a queen but also a Quinn I'm not
I'm not kind of I'm not gonna lie.
Any bug theme t-shirt you got it put you put them up by that.
Pre-order that man. All right, I got mr.
Curtis is purchase. All right, that's one cool.
Okay, so another very amazing and you know, impressive thing
about site, there is you know sure they have these claws.
Are these size? They aren't just for show.
As you can see, I have a big log here in my hand.
Miss Professor, we have a bathroom.
Okay, that's disgusting. No, it's an actual log from a
tree. Oh, that's great.
You're you are just got your, the disgusting.
I thought you were grown out of this.
No, I thought that I was gonna say I've shame shame on you.
Why you been feeding him? A high fiber diet of and see
him. Mr. Hearst heating missed.
You, I have been spiking his food If the extra fiber
supplements, I feed myself. Well, thank you very much.
Okay. Anyways, this log is getting
heavy. So I'm going to throw this log
into the air and we'll see what sites are does to it.
All right, all right, let's go. Okay.
And now, just picture that but fried rice and then boom, it's
ready to go for Hibachi well, or yeah, sure.
For the virtual students at home, when I threw the log in
the air, they did get sliced. Neatly in half, right?
Yeah, sorry. I guess.
I guess that was really more of a visual learning opportunity
for the students in class here today.
Yeah, it's kind of like that a lot with, you know, the Pokemon
coming out like students at home, really are missing a lot.
They should show up to class every once in a while.
So I have to be alone. Yeah.
Or maybe or maybe I should just stop bringing Pokemon to class,
huh? No Professor.
That's lame your lamb. Hey, okay.
I think we've seen enough. If of Scyther.
I mean, I guess we could name her if you would like Selena,
but you say Selina Selina Selina.
Yeah, it's okay. Do you have a name sickle?
Wow, that's lame. No, no.
I kind of like it because she's sick and a sickles like a little
safe. Yes.
How about Dawn? Well, Don is a man's name, Dawn
is a Girl, that's no, that's a girl look.
This souter's like Dawn, she is intimidating, but also very
beautiful and I think that would be a very good name.
Okay. We'll call her.
We'll call her Danza. Call.
Don Circle works. Yeah, sure on sickle.
All right. Tom sekolah, time to go back to
the Pokeball. All right.
Yeah. You see you're looking longingly
at the Pokeball Corbin to do do you miss her already?
Yeah. All right you know I know what I
think. Will raise your spirits, making
me have a Pokémon. Who?
What Professor have you got a quiz?
No, I'm going to read some Pokedex entries, actually.
Okay, that's fine. Professor, I'm sorry, mr.
Curtis. Do you not like Pokedex entries?
Yeah. What's your do you know about
the type? Oh my goodness.
Wow. I know I'm surprised.
Who are you? I don't like this new year.
New Curtis. I like it.
You've changed. No for the work I do.
I just I just I'm so excited for the quiz because I know I'm
going to do so good on it because I know so much about
both. That's everybody's least
favorite segments of class. So we're not going to talk about
that. We're going to enjoy the Pokedex
entries now and you're going to be quiet and listen, I'm going
to Relish in it. Yeah, we're going to relish of
it, and then we're going to have some pickles.
And then we're gonna have jalapenos for lunch.
As we relish on a hot dog. I like it.
Okay, starting in the Kanto region, as we always do.
The first entry says with Ninja, like agility and speed.
It can create the illusion that there is more than one, you
know, for a second. I did think that you brought
three of them out, you know. And I know it was a Don.
Siegel was moving so fast. It was hard to when she was
cutting the log. Whoo, it's gnarly.
Yeah, by the way, I should have mentioned, I should have asked
this. Does everybody here know?
A ninja is all have a good understanding of what images I
watched ninja movies all the time.
Great mr. Curtis to you.
What kind of job. Okay.
It's good that you guys know what a ninja is because they'll
be very, very important for all of these.
These entries going forward. Good, good, good, good.
Alright. The next entry in the Kanto
region says, leaps out of tall grass and slices prey with its
Scythe. Hmm.
Yes, the movement looks like that if an So I just picture a
ninja moving. You love that, love to see it.
The last day or the next Century says moves incredibly quickly
and shreds its enemy with its razor-sharp.
Sides on rare occasion. It flies with its wings.
Rarely. Yeah.
Sometimes like if it wants to I guess what it's feeling the fun.
It'll do it. Yeah I don't know what would
cause it to do like is it just a you know I think I'm Gonna Fly
today kind of getting ready to point B quicker or if it's like
in danger. Maybe I don't know if you need
it to Like, run home real quick and pick up some groceries or
just wants to have fun because you know, Girls Just Want to
Have Fun if either is do just want to have fun now, that's a
t-shirt. Now, that's honestly.
All right. I'm actually going to write that
one down now. It's not.
I think it requires a little bit more before it can be a t-shirt.
No, parse our listen. Our virtual students will eat up
anything. We so thankful, they won't know
it's a great, our virtual, I'm kidding.
Totally joking. All right, the last entry here
from the Kanto region, says it tears and shreds prey with its
wickedly sharp sides. It very rarely spreads, its
wings to fly pretty similar to the last one but you know, so
it's not a common thing that it does.
No, like I said, it's on rare occasions, does it spread its
wings, okay, okay. You know what you should do more
frequently, like, you got to get out there so I thought you guys
spread your wings right. Ready Wings.
Yeah and you know Cici what's out in the world, find your
treasure and really you know just just hold it close to you.
Yeah, exactly. But gently with those big
choppers, oh yeah, like size, great for cutting, and slicing
and all that kind of stuff, not for and early holding.
We're talking or opening doors on driving car.
Hold on, hold on, holding. I'm bringing back a segment that
we established many weeks ago that I'd like to talk about.
And Yes, the oh, I do, remember this, remember this, we talked
about this several weeks ago. Hug a Billet hunk ability.
Where do we rank scyther on the hug ability?
Scale, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say it to.
Oh, did that is prime? Huggable, real estate right now,
you will literally be shred nine and a half out of the journey.
Idiot, that's ridiculously high. That's ridiculously high.
I'm gonna put Scyther at a five or six.
Okay, I'm gonna say this because it does, it's not like it has to
put the sharp, Part of the blade, true?
Sure could do the. It could do the the flat part of
the blade. So the, so the blade facing away
which would protect you from anybody trying to interrupt your
hog, which would make the hole bigger and better.
It's the safest hog you'll ever have.
I'll, I change my answer to 70k. Also, I want to say it's like,
you know, it's torso area is curved and like has that like
segment part in the middle. They could really wrap your
hands around. So I think I think it's got a
good shape for, huh? I still don't regard even though
it can, you know, like move the clot, the sides out?
I'd still be worried about their sharpness so that's why I'm
putting it at like, six. Yes, still concerning still
concerning for sure. Yes, yes, yes.
Do we have a we have a jingle for the hug ability portion of
the lessons yet or resolve a jingle for any segment of the
lessons. We we briefly had a jingle for
the for the quiz man. I miss those days.
We had a jingle for the very briefly.
It was it was like for one lesson Oh man, I remember that
time I'm getting old. You're still your 10, I'm still
10, but I feel old because wow, I don't remember that at all
Hawk ability but that will, you know what we're shopping?
Okay. All right.
Stop, that could wrap something to the Johto region.
The first entry here says it's slashes through grass with its
sharp sides. Moving too fast for the human
eye to track. Whoa, which is why Can make it
look like there's more than one of itself, right?
So with that if you to hold a ninja thing, if you can, if you
can see where the grass is being demolished, I mean, I'm not
sure. Okay, so good point Corbin your
now, so that does raise the question.
Why does it slash through grass with its sharp?
I feel like it has its arms behind it, while it's running.
It seems like this, I would from this.
Pokedex entry, it would make it seem like it's purposefully
cutting down cutting through the grass, right?
So why would it? Why why would it do that?
Well, I guess that's it. I guess to.
Because grass is green and it's green.
Maybe you could it's used as a visual disruption for well,
we're attacking. I don't really read the next the
next entry. It says when it moves it leaves
only a blur. If it hides in Grass.
Its protective colors, make it invisible, right?
Cut in Spanish. We say I feel like they'll be
counterintuitive to cut the grass because it's trying to
hide. The bad move, right?
Why would it, why wouldn't I mean?
Why would it be / through through the grass?
I don't understand. I don't some mystery, you know.
Yeah, I don't understand this one.
This is so weird. It's a weird thing for for us
either to do the next entry says, it's very proud of its
speed. It moves so fast that it's
opponent does not even know what knocked it down.
Wow, that's fun. Yeah, this is assuming that the
Scyther uncharacteristically knocks their opponent down
instead of cutting through them with its sides.
Well, yes. Just That's playing games.
You know, it can kill you whenever you want or whatever it
wants, not when you want, you don't want it really could now
put this on a t-shirt just because it's a cautionary thing
site. There can kill you whenever it
wants because it can yeah so fast.
Listen if we ever decide to to manufacture and sell warning
signs I'll put that on there. Shake it like a wet floor.
Sign your wet floor. So anyway beware of Scyther
where slightly they will kill you whenever they want.
Yeah there's can and will kill you whenever they want.
Also, this is an interesting like move from other bug type
Pokemon that we've seen like Caterpie, and we do like their
main thing, and a lot of other bug types.
Have this trait too, is that, you know, their first form
they're like, you know, first like their original form is not
fight, it doesn't fight it all of, its all the stuff it has is
to prevent it from getting into fights and scaring away or
immobilizing its opponent. Right, right?
Like we have a pretty good horn. Yeah.
Caterpie. You know, raises stinks and it
has has I camouflage to make it look like it has a bunch of eyes
with freaks out smaller prey. Sure.
Yeah. And then we do has the poison
right, but I don't think it's using that poison to you know,
go and attack things. I think it's isn't it using it
to protect itself when it gets attacked?
Yeah I feel like it's more defensive from what I remember.
Yeah. So but this is and then like
their main thing is that they begin to All of into a stronger
form very quickly, right? Rider doesn't do that.
So either doesn't evolve, it doesn't evolve from anything, it
doesn't. Well, it does evolve into
something but it's like, you know, it's not like it levels up
super quickly to evolve. It's very strong in this base
form, right? Well, that's because it's
basically an apex predator. You know, it's got nothing that
can top it. Why why does it need to evolve?
Which is well, I mean, I guess so, but that's just impressive
for a bug type Pokemon. It is right?
It really is But we did, we did learn about Paris x0 and I will
say, Paris Act is pretty intense or Paris, while Paris is the
evolved form of Paris act. No parasites is the evolved form
of a have, the other way around. I thought you were a Pokemon.
Professor. I excuse you Corbin.
I'm thinking a bit of a poser. Okay.
Paris. Paris evolves into Paris act?
Yes, yes. Okay, I can't remember which way
the I can't remember which way that I said before.
You said it the wrong way and I get a gold star.
Okay no you get nothing. Is also zombiefied and has
something mind-controlling it. So, you know, yeah, that's
pretty hardcore. It's pretty metal.
I'm not going to lie. Well, no, it's not.
It's not, it's not Steel type. It's oh, bugging grass.
No, I meant like metals and like, you know what I mean?
I don't. That sounds more like poison
because it sound like you're throwing up.
No, I meant like metals and like, oh, okay, like like metal
metal music? Yeah, I don't really listen.
Listen to that kind of. Yeah, I'm glad I had this boom
box next to me so I could show you what I was talking about.
Okay. Yes.
Moving on that. Does it for the Johto region,
moving on to the Hoenn region. The first entry says site, there
is blindingly fast. It's blazing speed enhancing the
effectiveness of the twin sides on its forearms.
This Pokemons sides are so effective.
They can slice through thick logs and one Wicked stroke.
All it takes is one stroke Wicked.
We should we put that on a
t-shirt to know. Okay, okay.
So that entry I mean that's the only really only entry from the
Hoenn region. There was another one but you
know, it's it's almost exactly the same thing so I'm not going
to read it. Okay, moving on to the center
region, the first entry says it is nearly impossible to Perry.
It's attacking sides, its movements are like a ninja's.
So what does Perry the setup have to do with this?
No. Now Perry as in deflect.
It's okay, the deflect the entire like when you throw your
Racers at me Corbin, how do I just kind of knock them out of
the air? Right.
You just like that, right? Okay.
I got you to make sense. Well, that's what he tries to
do. Anyways, they do normally does
end up smacking him in the face, but, yeah, funny.
Yeah. He, he, the next entry, says,
the sharp size on its forearms become increasingly sharp by
cutting through hard objects, okay?
So it's like a natural knife, sharpener.
Yeah. Like I like a whetstone kind of
thing. Yeah, I don't think it's a
still, don't think it answers the question as to why it's cuts
through grass, because grass is not particularly hard, right?
No. So I don't think that's going to
make its color. It's a science sharper.
So again still a mystery, still a mystery as to why it cuts down
grass? Well again, I think it's doing
it to ya. Confuse people.
It's confusing me. It's working.
I'm confused.
Confused. Might accidentally attack myself
and my confusion. Yeah anyways so that does it for
this inner region. Nothing new from the you Nova or
the Kalos region. So let's move on to the a Lola
region, all right. The first century in the LA
region says it confuses its prey with its quick ninja-like
movements then in an instant it Cleaves them with its size.
Ooh dead wow man. Someone could We could say it's
a Cleaver that's kind of cool or, or a sizer that would say
that, okay, that's fine. The next entry says, while
young, they live together deep in the mountains, training
themselves and how to fight with their size and move at high
speeds. Wow.
So they train together, huh? Yeah it basically always doing
double team is what I've come to the conclusion.
That's not double team is that when you hang out with two other
people now but I mean, it's moving so fast.
It's just you're just looks like multiple versions of itself.
Yeah, that's not what it says. Well, not in this one in
particular, but I mean, keeps talking about that in all the
entries, how fast it moves. He's sometimes he likes to, you
know, reflect on what we've already learned.
Yeah, he's like, he's always, you know, three steps behind.
I'm bringing some moment in the lesson.
It's come all tits come together to me in my head.
It just, it's like all the puzzle pieces fit together.
I'm glad it makes sense for you. And all the calculations here is
doing in his head like this trigonometry.
Oh my God. Yeah it finally clicked.
That's right. I figured it out, it's like
double team and then me and Critter like what on what he
talkin about? If we do that we talked about
that 10 minutes ago, I'm sorry. Anyways, the next entry here
says it's too. Sharp sides are more than just
weapons. It uses them with dexterity to
dress. It's pray before eating go ahead
and make your, make the joke. You're thinking about Korbin
wait, how, why would it put clothes on its?
No, no, let's take a look. You said it addresses it split
its prey like like, what is this a like I'm gonna eat.
You know. Like what does that mean?
No, no it dresses. Its present prepares it like
Hibachi like shing shing like it's pretty much exactly like
Hibachi. So yeah, I mean it's like this
Pokemon would be an incredible Chef.
I think that's what I said. I mean listen, I agree.
I absolutely agree. I'm in the market for a good
Chef so Well, unfortunately, you can't own a Pokémon yet Corbin.
So you haven't got. I can, but I can borrow one.
No. Now, you can't.
Nope, you can't. In fact, you can't.
You can't loan out Pokemon until you have a different license
need. You can't get that license until
you get this license. Well, how they can be able to
trust you with a loan Pokemon. If we can't trust you with your
own Pokemon, right? Exactly.
It's a higher level. This is part of the pop quiz
today. I don't understand what the
answer is. Is maybe?
Yeah, you should be writing this down.
Okay. It might be a part of the pop
quiz, all right, the last entry and yellow region says some call
it. A ninja its movements.
Imperceptibly quick are sufficient to cleave the air
into. Hmm, it's very popular and Lala
why I don't know I don't know why it's popular and we'll cut
some palm trees and get to the Coconuts better.
Maybe he'll maybe. I guess I can see that.
Just be careful. You don't accidentally cut down
a lowland executor Yeah, that would suck.
So that would be gruesome to see.
All right, moving on to the gala region.
The first entry here, says as site through fights more.
And more battles, its sides become sharper and sharper with
a single slice Scyther. Can fell a massive tree.
Wow, yeah, so we've moved on from logs to massive trees that
make sense. I feel like they like to
embellish things over in the gallery region.
Yeah. A little, I mean, but a log is
the tree. I mean, let's, let's be real.
I mean, it's just a tree that's standing up.
Okay. But it's just a log.
I mean you would have to say a massive log to get the same kind
of idea as a massive tree. Understand eyes.
Maybe? Yeah anyways.
The next entry says, if you come across an area in a forest,
where a lot of trees have been cut down, what you found is a
souter's territory. And then I assume they forgot to
add this but we're planning on adding get out.
Leave don't come back. Don't even look.
Yeah, get out. Leave right now.
It's the end of you and probably me.
So if we don't yes, too late. It's already.
It's already behind you, too. Late, can't wait.
You know. Whoops, you're already that.
He it's already cut you and you're just waiting for your
torso to fall away from your legs just like, right?
You're pretty much just picking your Your small intestine off
the ground. At that point.
You're you're saying, oh man, I've never gotten such a good
close-up view of my feet before. Oh, wait my head's on the
ground. Right, right, exactly.
That's that makes sense. Yeah, yes, that's exactly.
Put that on a t-shirt. No.
Okay, I'm writing it down right now Professor.
Thank you, thank you. Okay, that does it for the
entries and the gala region. We have an entry from the Hisui
region. Some ancient ancient texts we
have dug up from the ground. And so yeah, it says the large
wickedly sharp sides on its forearms are truly fearsome.
Weapons, praise attempts to flee, our unfailingly thwarted
by this Pokemons Nimble, motions.
Mmm, love it. Yes.
Now this is very interesting. We actually have our first
entries from the Padilla region. Whoo.
I know Bob's right? Included them into The into the
into the National Pokedex Society.
So big, how do you ever it comes?
So it's time, it's time to go back and read all the previous
ones. Well, no, we're not going to do
that every time. Unfortunately, these entries are
already, they've just copied what other Asians have written.
You called it opens. Come on.
No. I know.
They're too busy making sandwiches.
That sounds. I feel bad.
So that's it. I feel like that's a stereotype
has little derogatory. It doesn't really like sandwich,
they do. You really like saying love
them, they love them. It's like, it's like sorry,
sorry to our listeners from the Pod a region that was uncouth of
me to say. Yeah, now you get cancelled now.
Okay. Anyway is that doesn't for the
original pokedex entry. So we have actually a lot of
unique Pokedex. I see ya, this first one is very
interesting, it's actually a weird combination entry.
It comes to us from ashes Pokédex and it's on Scyther.
And Electabuzz at the same time. Yeah.
But have together for some reason I don't know why.
Okay. Maybe they were standing next to
each other with the time, I guess.
So it mashes Pokedex is like, I can't today.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna find some similarities between
the two and just put that in a sentence and say I'm done.
Anyways, this is the sentence that came up with site there and
Electabuzz are both rare Pokémon.
Sure. They are able to distinguish
colors and become Is by the color red.
Mmm. Now, that's interesting.
I don't remember that being mentioned anywhere else in the
Pokédex. No, this is the first time.
This is some secret knowledge. That ashes Pokedex knows and no
other Pokedex is so I guess, I third Electabuzz, aren't a fan
fans of our class colors. What are those again?
Classic, red and slightly darker red now.
Yes, the next entry also comes to us from ashes Pokedex.
Is that a different time? I guess he saw Scyther it.
It says, Scyther, the Mantis Pokémon its claws are sharp as
swords and it is a powerful flyer.
This Pokemon is rarely seen by humans and almost never captured
mmm. That's it just cuts the Pokeball
in half, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it
really would have to want to be captured because I don't, I
don't think you're going to capture this thing.
If it doesn't want to be captured.
Now, the next entry here is this is like a combination entry.
I guess not, not combine, two Pokemon, but Like connected to
the one that I just read. It's about site there, but more
specifically, it's about site. There's sword dance, maneuver
cool. Okay, yes.
So it says sword stance site there's special attack site,
their spins furiously to focus, its energy and increase its
attack power. Okay?
Okay all right yeah that's pretty cool.
Like it doesn't have cool little dance and that makes it stronger
I guess it's like a tornado girl.
Yeah I don't mean is maybe using that like the air pressure to
the Sharpen its blade or maybe just getting pumped up getting
pumped. Yeah, yeah.
Plumped I think some chart if Furcal motion that's not it.
Some some centrifugal it's centrifugal since intricate
offical Matt said he got that. Yeah Sentra 250k the last entry
it comes to us from goes Rotom phone, it says Scyther, the
mantis Pokemon a bug flying type the twin sides on site, there's
four arms can slice through logs in.
One stroke school. I mean I'm sure could slice
through a lot more. I mean, we have Pokemon that can
knock down skyscrapers with just by running into them.
It's cutting a log in half is not really, really the most
impressive thing. Yeah.
But it can cut the Pokémon in half that bring down the sky
scrapers, so who's really in charge beam?
But can it are, the did those Pokémon have the same?
I know, hardness and density as a log.
Mmm, I don't think so because I I mean, it may be a massive
tree, I don't, I'm sure. I think I've seen Scyther in
action and I think it can cut through a lot more things than
just a, just a locker. Yeah, we're not doing it justice
in these entries. No, we're not.
All right so before we move on to the testing portion of the
lesson and everybody's favorite my favorite.
Mr. Curtis is. No no no no.
Yes and maybe it's a pop quiz. Who knows?
I don't know. We actually Of an essay here.
A written for us provided by Anya, I believe we've received
an essay from her before. Was it on Kangaskhan?
I believe, you know, you can correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I think you are correct. Oh, thank you.
Well, how very nice of you of Corbin.
Mmm. It's very nice for you to hear
you say that. I'm correct for it.
Well, maybe you should try being correct more.
She caught up. He should say it more often
because you're always correct Professor.
Absolutely. I mean, I can't hurt.
You with that, right? Because if I were to argue with
it, I'd be wrong. And yeah, I'm just not wrong.
All right, so let me go ahead and read this excellent essay
written by Anya. It starts off with slight.
There is a relatively well known bug and flying-type Pokémon
standing at just under 5 feet tall.
So either can be quite imposing an appearance and is popular
among teens and comic book enthusiasts as they may view it
as like a ninja like figure. Yeah, I mean that's what the
Pokedex entries. Say with a light green layer of
pigment code. It's exoskeleton as either can
easily camouflaged into natural environments and sports a
segmented, body with a main abdomen, thorax and thick, legs
protruding, from spiked appendages on its lower torso.
A set of Tandem Wings jut out, stiffly from its back.
Just barely large enough for this Pokemon to fly because of
its considerable weight. The whirring of a souter's
Wings, can be heard far before the Pokemon is seen as it pumps.
It swings more than 15 times per second to stay aloft.
Wow. And that's a pretty intense
information. I'm not sure.
I mean it's not in the Pokédex entry, so you must say, she may
have done her own in-person research with a scythe.
Oh yes. That's studying person.
So excellent work. Excellent work.
It goes on to say, just below These Wings, we come to what
site there is best known for twin blades.
Making up, a majority of its arms are used as far more than
just weapons. So either will use them at with
surprising dexterity to skin its prey before tearing into it with
sharp teeth, yummy adoption such as camouflage and the
aforementioned scythe. Make this Pokemon are fantastic
Hunter and Keen forward-facing eyes mounted atop to spiked
head. Allow it to easily locate and
lock on to its next victim. Victim is a bit a strong.
Love it. I love it.
I pray maybe opponent victim does much like Beedrill.
Make it sound like it's a serial killer going on to merge.
Well, you know, the way she's writing it kind of makes it
sound like that and I'm not not against, it's pretty cool.
Alright, the next Extend, it goes on to say sorry again to
Pokedex mode there, that was weird.
The next paragraph says, being a very proud Pokemon.
So I throw make will take incredible care of its treasured
sides. Moving with calculated Maneuvers
and taking the utmost care not to scratch or chip them as they
grow older. Young ciphers begin to realize
that frequent use will further Harden their size and will seek
out trees and other solid objects to sharpen them against
to sharpen them against as Venture further away from their
home. Colony a quick note here is like
a like a footnote thing that they've added many unfortunate.
Sort of widow have become victims of teenage site.
They're mistaking them for a small tree and promptly.
Slicing them down. Oh, that's brutal.
It's an epidemic. It's horrible.
I mean, you just go onto it like a like, see a field of tree is
cut down and then like you'll see you a couple Sudowoodo
bodies whoo-hoo. That's rough two legs.
Still running. It's weird that you laugh at
that garage. So uncomfortable, you know.
Okay. Just laugh when you're
uncomfortable. That's yeah, I want to die
inside. Don't we all?
All right, it goes on to say when it comes to the battling
seen. This Pokemon is no less
efficient Scyther and it's Evolution.
Sizer are very common among Pro Battlers.
And after seeing one in action, it is clear to see why the
utilize purposeful pre-planned movements Ensure that none of
their energy is wasted have been known to cut down foes more than
10 times their size by finding the perfect place to jab them
and bring them to the ground. If a site there is trained to
diligently, it will be able to move fast enough to create the
illusion. That there is more than one of
itself confusing simple-minded opponents like mr.
Curtis, you were also confused. We threw a Don circle out.
Yeah, you can't deny it. You can't deny it.
All right, that's fair, that's fair.
I'll allow it. The last paragraph, says,
Legends from the Hisui regions speak of this Pokemon.
As being unfathomably, unfathomably powerful,
imperceptibly quick, imperceptibly quick movements,
strong enough to cleave there, the very air into, who has a
rough sentence for me to read not written.
It's an excellent, excellent Leeward.
No, she's way smarter than you. I don't know about that.
No, I'm not sure on your for president.
I'm just kidding. Don't take my spot.
Maybe, oh, and an endorsement from.
No, no, I was kidding. I was curious jungles joke with
you just have stepped it, you know, resign Anya.
No, she's not in, she's not an office, you can't resign.
Anyways, the next it goes on to say many still seek outside
there, either for their weapons or to catch them and parade.
The Pokémon around like a simple commodity.
Hmm, But the species has thrived I've living in the shadows of
forest and any that have gained, the trust of this, furtive
creature ought to be treated with the utmost respect as
they're fiercely loyal, companion will always be waiting
to strike down those that wrong them.
Watch out if Scythe or didn't sound incredible before it
definitely does. Now sounds like a cool reliable
awesome bug type Pokemon as all book type Pokemon yeah one of
the very few awesome and reliable bug-type.
Okay. You know the only awesome bug
type Pokemon we've discussed so far, I would say honestly but
anyways, thank you so much on. Yeah, that was an incredible
essay and of course you will be getting.
I'm noting down your extra credit points right here and mr.
Curtis is, of course, prepping your gold star as we speak.
Oh, yes. It's coming.
Beautiful. He's he's crafting it and the
forges and Flame. That is it for the Pokedex
entries on Scyther? I think it's time Moved on to
our are testing portions of those kitten out, my Rotom
laptop. Let's go.
So I, you know, I pulled a quiz. I'm pull a little Switcheroo on
you guys. I don't think I'm gonna do a
quiz play. Not Gonna Pop Quiz.
Hey, Pop Quiz. You Got It.
You Really Gonna fool him with a pop quiz.
Sometimes you gotta say you're having a pop quiz and then you
don't have one and sometimes you got to say, you're not having a
pop quiz and then you have, right?
So you could really make it a pop.
Quiz. But you do have I love when you
lie to us. But Professor I already got my
Rotom laptop out. Oh you can keep it out if you
want to use it to help you type up some notes for our debate
today. Yes.
So I have a very, very good. I personally I think it's a good
debate question and you know, I guess I should quickly go over
the rubric for our debates and very important.
Alright. So in this Bait.
You must include information that we learned in class to.
You must demonstrate an understanding of the Pokemons
unique, attributes, and abilities three.
You must build an argument around proven facts about the
topic Pokemon. And for you must respond to at
least one of the opponent's arguments with a legitimate
counter-argument. Okay.
All right. And you know I think we know
enough about the debate structure at this point.
I don't have to read it out. I think you guys know any will
make itself evidence. And as we go on.
So today's debate question is and I've already decided who's
going to have what be on, which side.
What? Really, yes.
Okay. Oh, so the question is, which is
souter's most effective weapon Corbin, you will be defending,
its size and mr. Curtis, you'll be defending its
speed. Mmm.
All right, so take your time, right, your right ear openings,
Statements and potential responses to arguments that you
might predict from your opponent and let me know when you're
ready. So what is this?
Most effective weapon sights? Yes, and your you are defending
its sides and mr. Curtis is defending its speed.
So just I know I know you were definitely listening.
The first time I was I was I was reading it.
Sure, okay. Okay, I know you guys have been
staring at your papers for a very long time now.
You are, you ready to go or you just you just scared.
Oh, I'm ready. I'm ready.
Freddy Gauntlet mr. Curtis.
How about you, are you ready? Oh, I'm yes, I am extremely fast
lie. Ready to.
All right, there's this effort this expert wordsman ship.
I think it's good for you very well on this debate.
All right Corbin you are up first so you can get Give us
your opening statements and really view were on the side of
ciphers sides are as most effective weapon.
So let's hear what you have to say.
All right, so thank you everybody for being here.
I know you have to be but here is my arguable, I'm here.
So what a sight, there's most effective weapon and I am here
to argue it is the sites. So let me start off first with a
definition, a weapon is defined as a thing design or use for
inflicting bodily harm or physical damage.
Now, I don't know about you, but speed is not designed to inflict
bodily damage. That's not its sole purpose.
Speed is not designed away, speed is a trait, it is an
ability, the sizes are specifically designed.
It is evolved the sides in order to fight to inflict pain to hunt
to cut to do whatever. Ever without them, the speed is
nothing and it cannot effectively hurt those around
it. It's just moving quickly,
confusing people but it has no way of actually taking down its
enemies or cutting logs or whatever.
It is that it needs to do. It's not going to be able to do
any of that because it needs not speed but scythes to do it.
Speed helps also sharpen the weapons, it's an aid.
And the function of a Scyther but it is not the weapon itself.
I rest my case. Okay well I mean I don't rest it
quite yet. We still have a couple of other
chances to speak core and so the case has been rested.
All right. Well then I guess I guess Corvin
is I know giving all of the rest of his remaining time to, you
know? No unrest.
It's a wake. Okay.
All right.
Mr. Curse is your turn to give your opening statement and then
if you would like you can respond to some of Corbin's Ting
statement. Take it away.
Sure. Why?
Thank you professor and and corporate.
Oh yes. Let me start off by saying what
is the most dangerous weapon. So it's a nuclear bomb.
It, I would argue. It's the one you don't.
Know, is coming. Oh, the Pokedex even says it
moves so fast. You don't even know what hit
him. It's attacks are imperceptibly
quick. Let me ask you this.
How can you defend? From an attack, you can't even
see coming. You can't even perceive it.
I would argue that this is an even matter what you attack with
it that point now, Corbin would say.
Okay now I'm going into the response so you don't need to
tell me. I understand why just that was
my opening statement. Now I'm going to respond to
corporate, okay? Now Corbin would say that the
Corbin would argue that. These are mutually exclusive and
that the sizes are very important.
In fact, Corbin's right about this.
Our and not the mutual exclusive part, but the fact that the size
of are all right, case closed. That's right.
Thank you. In fact, one would say the sides
are vital in intrinsic to what makes a Scyther Scyther.
Some of the largest words I've ever heard mr.
Curtis years. But but is it that most
important know there are plenty of Pokemons with blades Cricket
tuned, for example, Laurentiis which is known as the bloom
sickle Pokemon, but What makes Scyther.
So unique is the speed at which it can attack with those blades.
Thank you. I rest my case.
Don't stop resting your case. You do you have more time to
talk. My case is rested, is asleep.
All right. Corpsman is your turn to respond
to mr. Kersey statements, whether you
want to respond to his opening statement, or his response to
your response, it's up to you. And then when you're done with
that, you can make your closing statement.
I'm taking I'm gonna Pawned all of it.
Actually um, okay, so Curtis said at one point that it
doesn't matter what you attack with that speed is basically the
weapon because it doesn't matter because it's going so fast.
I mean, at some point, like that's not true because you can
like yeah, it can be fast. But like, nowhere in the
Pokédex, does it say that Scyther is a sturdy or hardened
Pokémon. Its strength is in its sides.
Right? That's where the strength comes
from. So like it can whiz around and
do all these crazy things. But like what's it going to do,
if it didn't have the size it's just run into you.
Is it basically just going to use take down or is it going to
charge somebody? You're just like a little baby
version. I like a really quick version of
tackle or quick attack. Perhaps, I mean, like it is
quick and I'm not saying that being quick is not effective.
I'm just saying that they have to be in tandem being fast and
having the sides go in tandem in, you know, Curtis is right to
a degree that's when they excite their site there.
It's the speed. And the blades together.
But but the question is, what is the most effective Weapon by
definition? My argument is speed, is not a
weapon. It's an ability, it aids, the
Scyther and doing what it's going to do.
Like, there are other Pokémon that have blades out there, that
is true. And the speed is important, and
it helps Aid in what it's going to do.
But if it didn't have those sizes at all, it wouldn't be the
first. First Pokemon.
I mean like you walk into a territory with trees, cut down
Corbin you're starting to do. You know what this is?
This is my closing statement. You walk into a Terrace the say
you walk into a territory and you see trees cut down, what do
you think? This is a site there's
territory. I'm going to steer clear from it
because I know the weapons that it has and I know what it's
capable of because all these trees are down, what would
happen if I didn't have those weapons.
Just see a bunch of headbutts and trees.
How is it gonna knock the trees over?
How is it going to stake? Its claim?
How is it going to be a terrifying force of Nature to
reckon with it needs the size to do that, it needs its weapons,
to do that. So now I rest my case.
Okay, now you can definitely rest your case rest, it's going
to sleep, mr. Curtis is your turn to make a
closing statement. If you would like to, you can
use part of it to respond to Corbin's closing statement, but
take it away. Yeah, korben korben says that
Scyther needs to have its size to be the Your some wet Pokemon,
it is and I would say yes, but I would say there's a lot of
Pokémon as I said before that half size and that can cut down
trees. And that doesn't make Scyther.
The most unique and Powerful element that makes Scyther Stand
Out, amongst the rest, okay? It's his speed in combination
with those blades and that's what makes the actors, that's
not what the argument is. Shish Shish is not your turn to
speak. In seven.
It is the most effective out of the two, is the speed.
Thank you. If you want to, if you, if I
have to spell it out, exactly like that.
Please. Anyway, onto my closing
statement, okay, blinding blur too fast, illusion of more than
one in perceptively, quick Nimble, agile, prey attempts to
flee are thwarted by their nimble Let's these are all the
descriptions as we read through the Pokedex, this is what
Scyther is known for, is its speed and its blades but without
its speed it's a crooked tune and nobody wants a cricket.
I mean he doesn't because how do we know for cartoon has blades
like that? We don't know we haven't studied
Cricket tune yet so we don't know or maybe there are Kabutops
or yeah. Right.
Exactly. It is a speed that Hanson Hanson
Oz them. It's the speed that gives them
their Edge that would one would say and I would say it is the
most vital and important part of the site.
There's Arsenal. Thank you very much.
Are you resting your case? All right, I'd like, I owe my
case is already rested it rested after the first part.
Okay, it's very it's sleeping right now.
Okay. Excellent job to the both of you
again. Like always I'm not going to say
who came out on top. I think it was a valiant effort
by I think of that I think more The what we learned today is
that it's really the combination of two of them and I think both
of you kind of hit on this a little bit in both of your
debates, but it's a combination of the speed, and the sides that
make site. They're so powerful and the
force to be reckoned with so, amen.
Mmm. All right, so full marks for
both of you, I think you both included, you know, a bunch of
information that we learned in class.
You definitely went after each other's counter arguments
sometimes even before, The the other one started talking.
So, you know, full marks their excellent job today.
Does anybody know who we're going to be talking about next
week? Of course any bug Aficionado
would know that after Scyther comes Caesar.
Yes, in The evolutionary chain. Yes, you are.
Correct Scyther. Doesn't evolve into size, or or
Cleaver, man? What time period you're in?
Yeah, but We're actually, that's actually not next in the Pokédex
because again, we've mentioned that the the National Pokedex is
ordered in a manner that's a bizarre at times.
So actually the next Pokemon is not related to South or in any
way. Oh, okay, it's not a bug type.
It's not flowing, was it? Well, I'm not interested in.
Okay, okay, hold on. I'll just I'll just say it's
Jinx. We're learning about Jake.
Yes, another very Republic. Kissy-kissy Pokemon.
The technical term for. Okay, no, no.
It's the human shape Pokemon, which is what?
Sure, I guess. That's what it's called.
We can talk about that next week.
You know what? I take that back, mr.
Curtis is interested. Good.
Now we can do it finally. We reel them back in.
Okay but anyways that's going to do it for today's lesson lesson.
If you have any questions for me the professor feel free to Send
me a Gengar mail at wwo Pokémon at gmail.com.
If you don't have a Gengar male, that's perfectly fine.
You can also find us on the flying Pokemon theme social
network site. Twitter, we are there at wwo
Pokémon as well but that's gonna do it for today's lesson.
So until next time class is dismissed Welcome to the world
of Pokemon is a part of the Pokey casters Network.
Welcome to the world of Pokemon is a part of the Pokey casters
Network.
