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 joining.
Yeah, thank you, Corbin. That's Corbin.
Corbin, please. Yeah, that's our young trainer
and training Corbin. So please say hello to
everybody, Corbin. Hey everyone, it's good to be
introduced first. I I see now the professor has
his priorities straight for this lesson.
He understands who the most important one here is.
So thank you Professor for. Introducing me.
Well, of course, the students, the students, the pupils,
they're always number one in the class.
Although not. Introduced.
Speaking of pupils, Mr. Curtis is our our teaching assistant.
Mr. Curtis I can say hi, but I got you're wearing sunglasses
and I'm going to need you. To speak with pupils.
Can't see. Yours.
Yeah, that's the that was the that was the transition that I
tried to make there. Yeah.
So go ahead, take those off. And don't like having sunglasses
in my class. It's hard to tell.
You guys are looking. Of course, Professor, of course.
Let me just take them off real. Quick.
Oh, Archie. Is alive.
What on earth? Oh yeah.
What happened? Oh, oh.
I mean gross. God, they're crunchy.
I can hear them crunching. Oh God, don't blink.
Oh God, stop. Blink every time he blinks.
It's like, it's like he's coughing, I see.
Crust just falling off some. Dust come out of his head.
What happened to your eyes? I I well I the I first of all
all right. Yeah, I.
Have to report. I have to report back from last
week. You did in fact task me to stare
at the sun non-stop all week last week.
Professor, that's abuse. And.
And I and I can say no future or past seeing at at.
All really. Was it worth it?
You look horrendous. I mean I I don't see what the
problem is. I mean.
Yeah, you wouldn't see what the problem is.
Not with those eyes. God, you didn't see anything?
You didn't see a. Comment.
No, I can see you fine, Professor.
See you're hold. You're holding up three fingers
right now. I'm not.
He's not holding up fingers. At all holding up anything.
You sure that's that's Corbin? Corbin, why are you wearing a a
a yellow sombrero today? I need to put that away.
I am not. That's that's a banana on my
desk. I I think you might need to go
see the nurse. So let me get this straight.
You I I told you this Allegedly. Allegedly speaking.
I don't think I would ever do. This of course.
Certainly no recording that would state otherwise.
I allegedly told you to go stare at the sun to see if it would
make you see into the past and the future, much like a zattoo.
Right. Like like the headmistress was
doing during class in in our last lesson, you know, staring
at the sun. So yeah yeah, I know we we were
trying to figure out is the reason that the headmistress can
see the past and the future because they stare at the sun
all the time. And I I can confirm I did stare
at the sun non-stop all week without blinking.
And what a trooper. And I cannot see the past or the
future. Or the present, honestly.
I would have to see. Oh, it's fine.
I'll just you know is. It worth it buddy.
They'll, they'll, we, they'll rehydrate.
It's fine. And the police, Professor, let's
not spend any more time on me though.
Let's let's move on with the class.
Yeah, I see you. Oh, yeah.
OK. Yeah.
He's pulling out special eye drops, I think, Does that.
Yeah, yeah, they're you know, I just it's it's a little eye
dropper. I just, you know, grab a little
bit for my a syrup cup here and I dosed my eyes a little bit and
every so. Often dip it syrup into your
eyes. I I honestly, I thought he was
going to say it was like spinner axe spit or something.
Oh, so that was going to be worse.
I actually don't know what's worse.
Syrup in your eye. It's just going to be congealed
and you're not going to be able to open.
It. I don't even know.
I mean, we don't know where he gets that syrup.
It might be spinner Axe spit. Oh yes, and it's it's from the
purest of trees. That's where.
That's where he comes from. Don't like that?
How do you, I'm gonna regret asking this.
How do you determine the the how?
Pure a tree? Yeah, the purity of a tree.
Do you just ask it nicely? It's a it's a direct ratio to
how many spinner racks like to make webs on it.
So you walk through the forest, you find the tree with the most
spinner rack webs, that's the purest one, and you slice that
bark open and get some of that syrup.
And that's what I drink. It's good, it's tasty, It's.
Good. All right.
Well. And great eye drops.
I hope. I hope your eyes get better.
Mr. Hurt us because it is it is rough to look at.
I'm sure it's rough to. Look.
With too so. It is a sacrifice I make
willingly for the class in the name of science.
Professor, you ask and I shall proceed.
I don't think I asked. I'm not going to.
I don't think. I don't think I did that.
That'd be that'd be crazy. I definitely wouldn't have asked
our students to do that either. No, that doesn't sound like you
at all. Yeah.
All right. So we have a lot to talk about
today. So I'm going to pivot into into
to to getting some business done, if that's OK with
everybody because we have a very, very important Gengar male
here to read today. Ho, ho, ho, ho.
Ho, because a lot of you may remember that we elected a new
class president. Thank you everybody who
participated in in the election who thank you, everybody who
nominated yourself. It was it's great to have that
you know all those options available and also thanks to
everybody who voted because you know, it's it's important to do
your civic duty to make sure you get your vote in.
So we thank you so much for that.
And I believe our new class President is Terry.
Is that correct? It's Terry.
The SCS say it like you don't know Terry is the new class.
Just checking my notes here. Well, that's good because I have
a ginger mail from Terry and it is their presidential address.
So are we all ready for that? Yes, all right.
OK, well, to wait to wait until you stop that so people can
actually hear me. Pro Powering the address, Dress,
dress, dress, dress, dress. OK, now now Porsche.
If you could edit in some tasteful trumpets in the
background while I read. I I mean, I think my I.
Think. I think it was for Porsche.
No need, no need. Porsche just take the audio of
them of Mr., Curtis and Corbin doing the those trumpets and
quietly put it underneath me reading.
This. Oh, good idea.
That's a great idea. That's a good idea I like.
That from Terry. It says Hello fellow students.
First of all, I want to express my gratitude to each and every
one of you for entrusting me with this incredible opportunity
to lead our class. As your newly elected class
president, I pledge to lead with a sense of humor, A touch of
darkness, and a whole lot of resilience.
Wait, why the darkness? Wait.
Wait, why the darkness? Because in the darkness there is
light. You know what I'm saying?
I guess, yeah. You don't have light without the
without darkness. So that's right.
OK, They go on to say we've endured more than our fair share
of trials and tribulations from the untimely demise of a few
unfortunate Pokémon. Accept it, Mr. Curtis and
Corbin. You guys know what You did.
What? You know.
I didn't kill anybody. I never saw the record.
Oh, wow. So wow, Corbin thinks Pokémon
aren't people now he didn't, he didn't kill anybody.
He killed a Pokémon. He's.
It's was nobody though. Wow, you you tell?
That man. I mean, like we didn't kill
anybody. You tell that to Perry.
Perry's not my. Roommate.
Well, no, I said. Perry And your roommate, Gordon?
Yeah, yeah. That's right.
They're people. They're people to my heart.
Donny J does not deserve this. I I thought.
Horrible thing for you to say. OK, the way he stopped, I was
like, wait, is he not going to say anything else?
No, he's waiting for a big moment.
They listen. I'm not saying they're not
important. They are special, but they're
not people. It's that simple.
Wow, Terry goes on to say to the occasional destruction of our
beloved classroom. Our journey is hopefully far
from over. As we as we look ahead to the
challenges and adventures that await us, let us draw strength
from the lessons we've learned of the friendships we've formed.
Just as Pokémon evolve and grow stronger with each battle, so
too shall we grow and evolve as individuals united in our
pursuits of greatness. Wow.
I'm like it's about to start crying.
This is beautiful. Honestly, a work of art.
A work of art for our former overlord that was in parentheses
our former class president Vespa.
You've shown us all that being a leader doesn't mean losing your
sense of humor or your sense of self.
Thanks for setting the bar high and giving us something to
aspire to to. For Professor Jacob Mr. Curtis
and trainer and training Corbin. Your dedication to fostering a
sense of community among potential Pokémon trainers is
truly inspiring and we are honored to be a part of it.
Your lessons have not only brought us together as
classmates, but also, but have also connected us with trainers
from all walks of life, having created a sense of camaraderie
and belonging that extends far beyond the confines of your
classroom. Oh, nice.
That's. Very.
Kind, yeah. You know, it's it's important to
have a a growing community of budding Pokémon biologists, So
I'm glad that we could be able to provide that so.
Here's to the. What was that?
Was that Corbin? Just said, we're all buds.
Please don't. Don't interrupt.
How?
Dare you say hey, shut up, Corbin.
That's right. I hate you.
I'm going to. You better be quiet.
I'm going to keep my eyes on you.
Oh, gross. That's awful.
It's even worse. They're like, they're like,
they're like olives that you've left out in the sun for too
long. Oh gosh.
So Terry's Gengar Mail and presidential address goes on to
say so. Here's to the Pokémon that have
fallen, the classrooms that have crumbled, and the chaos that has
ensued. May we have, in the face of
adversity, battle with reckless, abandoned, and emerge victorious
in the end. Thank you.
And let's make some more memories, shall we?
Shall. We shall.
We. Dang it.
What a tripping fell at the finish line.
Our. Class president Wow.
That's OK. I'm going to take that line
again and of course it's going to cut that out, so.
We're going to please 321 action, professor.
Thank you, and let's make some more memories, shall we?
Best regards, Terry, new overlord of this Pokémon class.
OK, I'm a little. I'm a little bit worried about
the first rating. Professor, great job.
Yeah, thank you. First try, no no mess ups there.
Sorry, no notes. Of course, of course.
Yeah. So you're the class president,
president, and that's wonderful. I don't know where this term
overlord is coming from, but it's you're not the overlord of
the class. There's no overlord of the
class. No, no, you're not.
But it's great to have you as our class president, Terry.
I'm sure he will do a wonderful job.
Curtis Gold Star, Do you think For this, for this presidential
address, What do you think? Of course, professor.
I mean it is our class president.
You do have to give an address. So you know what, Terry?
You did your job and you provided us with the address
that we so needed and deserved. And we look forward to your
success and fruitful works as our fearless overlord.
I mean, president of the classroom.
Thank you, Terry. Wait, so that's all he has to
do? That's such BSI Had to give you
guys my personal address. Oh no, I have Terry's personal
address. Don't worry.
Yeah, everybody's personal address.
All good there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We will be sending you an invoice.
Just so you know, what do you have to pay more?
Well, I mean, you know, for all the like the presidential, you
know, privileges and stuff like that.
I mean, you know, you don't have to pay for that, but it is
taxable income and stuff like that.
So we just have to send you some.
Income. We just have to send you that at
the end of the year a tax form to file when your taxes.
So, you know, don't don't worry about.
It yeah, all grown up stuff that I don't understand.
Wait, is this wait, is this all about with your your Gold Star
economy? Is that what you're talking
about? Yeah.
I mean a little bit of the Gold Star but also like oh you know
all of the the incentives and stuff, don't worry about it.
It's it's all in the in the paperwork in I'm.
A little worried. In the agreement that all the
students signed, we. Don't have a lot of money, Mr.
Curtis. We can't be we can't be giving
salaries to students. But we are giving the patron
away to him, right? That's true, yes, I guess
technically, Terry. Congrats, you get all the
earnings in the last four months, that's not.
Wait, no. OK.
We'll talk about this later. For now, again, thank you,
Terry. I'm sure you will be a great
class president. For now, though, we need to talk
about Pokémon if that's OK with everybody.
Fine, you're. Going to say fine.
I'm so excited to talk about Decidualize so much.
Today is not decidualize. You can keep keep being excited,
keep keep that excitement going for several more years.
Oh, not learning about This is why today Instead, who is it?
I mean, you know what? I'm just going to go ahead and
tell you we are learning about Mareep.
Oh, mareep, mareep. Yes, that's how they say in some
regions. They say it twice in.
Quick session. Yeah, they say it.
It's so nice. So nice they say it twice.
That's why I just. Mr. Curtis shut up.
Yeah, I see it. Mr. Curtis said it louder,
though, so it's funnier when he said it.
Mr. Curtis, That's right. Do not steal my jokes ever
again, or you'll be hearing from my lawyer that.
Was so funny, Mr. Curtis. That was so good.
Actually, I actually got that one from Donnie J.
He said I could use it so. Well, Donnie J is not the master
of all jokes. I am?
OK, so why don't you just chill? Why don't you take a chill pill?
Who's. Who's Donnie J?
Donnie J is my Mr. Mima. Yes, my father.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not my dad.
He's the my dad, Donny J. He lives in my.
House he. Lives in my house in a part time
job, working in the office with Perry funding Corbin's trip
abroad. OK, so you know, sorry.
Guys, we had to rid of our mind, Professor Jacob of our lore.
That's pretty funny. Anyways, we have to learn about
Mareep today, so if we could, you know, focus up, that would
be. Great focus focusing.
Thank you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm. I'm in.
Look at Mr. Curse's eyes.
He's laser focused. He's.
I'm. I'm looking at you right here
against the wall, Professor. OK, I'm, I'm at the, I'm at the
the chalkboard as I always am, Mr. Curtis.
Alright. Yes, yes.
I mean the chalkboard. So Corbin, question for you.
Have you seen a Marie before? I did one time, so when I was on
the way here. It was very quick though when I
was moving here before, no, not today, but before moving here or
on the way to move here, yeah, many, many months ago, about 6
to 8 months ago, we moved here for the Joto lessons.
I took the magnet train. I wasn't.
Expecting a novel, but go on I guess.
From Saffron City to Goldenrod City.
And there was a whole pasture full of my reap.
On the way here, they were frolicking.
It was beautiful. There were static charges.
There was laughter, There was love.
I wanted to be a part of it, but I had to go, you know, back to
the city well. Today is your chance to be a
part of it, Corbin, because I have a Marie right here.
Sound to be a part of the love I can't wait.
OK. Please don't sing.
Here is Marie. Alright.
Alright, that's a that's an adult grown Marie.
OK, you don't have to baby talk it, alright, I'm so listen, I'm
so look. At.
It though. I'm so sorry.
OK, this is so unprofessional. Mr. Curtis, you're petting the
trash can of the. Trash.
Look at her. Swing that tail around.
That tail looks awesome. Swing it.
Swing it.
I could. See the move?
Mill swing it like a windmill, that's what.
That's what I'm a caller, Millie.
Millie.
Millie the Marie.
I love that name. That's a great name.
It's a great name, isn't it? Oh, my gosh, Millie, you are
adorable. Swing that tail.
Hey, hey, swing that tail. She's got a vibe to her.
She's got a she. Glows so brightly I can.
Oh geez, he's staring at the sun again.
So stop looking at the sun, Mr. Curtis.
Look at it, Professor. It's so bright.
We're moving away from the window.
Please. Hey.
Get out of it. Get out of the stop.
It can you Hey Corbin, can you. While you're while you're
grasping tightly onto him, can you point him towards the Marie?
Please look at. It look a gorgeous sheep.
Gently. God, how gorgeous Millie is.
Tell her. Tell her she's pretty.
Look at her. You're pretty.
You're you're you're pretty. Marie.
All right, students at home can't see this, but she's.
Ugliest Pokémon I think I might have ever seen.
What is that gorgeous coat? Grasps the back of Mr. Curtis
Head is forcing his face right into the wall.
Of her. Look how beautiful she is.
Is that not the cutest thing you've ever seen?
Admit it's better than a spinner.
Rock. No, no.
OK, All right. That's it.
That's enough. That's enough.
Just like this last moment wasn't there at all.
That's insane. I'm going to describe Millie for
everybody at home. So Millie is very fluffy and
wool like so it looks like there is a layer of a skin like a blue
sort of like soft fur slash skin.
I think it's just skin. And I think it's just skin,
guys. That's a good T-shirt, just skin
with Marie Pot. It's got blue skin and it's
covered and like this, almost creamy colored, a little bit
with a little yellow tint. Wool, you know, it's not like
dub wool, it's not like white. It's more, you know, yellowish.
Yeah, Green, it's got This is good.
It's fine. Right, right.
So it's got, it's also got these two little baby nub horns that
are kind of black and yellow, black and yellow, black and
yellow and it kind of reminds me a little bit of AB drills body.
Its tails the same way, has that sort of similar black and yellow
pattern. It's got an orange little bulb.
And is that bulb doing anything right now, Corbin?
Well, it seems like there's a little bit of electricity in
there. Maybe it's just the lighting,
but you could tell me. Yeah, you don't.
You don't see it glowing at all. I mean, it's definitely glowing.
I mean, Mr. Curtis pointed that out.
But I'm just saying inside of it, look at the balls.
No. OK, Well, Mr. Curtis was looking
at the sun. All right, let's remember that.
Mr. Curtis you see electricity on the sun.
That's cool. Oh, look at its tail.
Millie, look at your tail. It's bright.
It's shiny. And it's on your honey Bright
and shiny. I.
Wonder prepares these before class.
Hey, Hey. Hey.
Hey.
Hey, sorry, she's. Just swinging her tail.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey Professor, I think you
better put the the Marie away. How long we can do this?
No, no, don't put her away. He can.
You can keep this going.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
I. Haven't felt this connection
with a Pokémon, probably since Terry.
Wait, not Terry? But what about zinc Corbin?
Well, that's what I. Meant to say What about you I
don't like? Your connection with Zinc, well,
but it's. Still there.
It's still there. I'm just saying I haven't been
this attached to a Pokémon in class since Zinc, and before
that it was Perry. Feels forced I.
Don't know. I don't have to feel.
I don't feel. Natural.
It feels forced. Go ahead and put.
What's with you and electric types too?
I mean, they're cool. There's zany.
There's Zappy Bean Bomb Baptity. They're just not as good as bug
types. I mean, let's be honest here,
okay? No, they're better.
I mean, statistically speaking, they are better Mr. Curtis.
Can. Millie Can Millie come sit at my
desk and be my nice pillow for the lesson that sounds?
Like, no Millie. 'S back in the Pokeball.
There we go. No, no.
All right, We gotta focus, guys. We have a couple of Pokedex
entries here to read and then we have a very, of course.
Of course, I'm excited for the testing portion.
Today it's. Right, because it's a poem.
I can't wait. Gonna put my Rotom left.
I mean no. Pull up my Rotom left.
I put my pokey Dick. No.
Pokey Dicks back out. Pokey Dicks back out we.
Back out, Bring it back out. Have not read the entries yet.
OK, starting with the joto region.
The first entry here says if static electricity builds in its
body, it being mareep in case we anybody forgot, right, right.
Of course it's fleece double S in volume.
Touching it will shock you. Wow, that's that's so tempting
because it's like all you want to do is touch it.
I know you just can't. I mean, like, it doesn't say
it's going to kill you, though. It's like going to electrocute.
You honestly worth the shock? Sometimes, yeah, I think it's
worth the shock. The next entry says.
It's fleece grows continually. In the summer the fleece is
fully shed, but it grows back in a week.
Wow. Yeah, Well, that's really
effective. Yeah, so that's why you gotta
make sure, you've gotta make sure you take care of that
during the winter, cuz it doesn't do it for you.
That's right. Right.
I mean they just grows if it grows enough, so it's fully back
in a week that grows quick. You got to be on top of that.
You got to be on top. You got to be shedding that or
you trimming it. All it must be growing like all
the time. It must be.
I mean, I wonder in the wild, if there isn't anybody to shear a
merit. Like, what does it do?
Does it just like try to like get it caught on like trees and
stuff? I mean otherwise it just.
Has to find a has to find like a Caesar.
Word. You ever caught a corner and
like when you're in the kitchen and your your back's itchy but
nobody's there to itch it, So you just kind of like rub your
back up against the the edge of the door or the wall or
whatever. I feel like that's what Marie
does, but with fur. OK, I like that theory.
I like the hypothesis. The next entry says it stores
lots of air in its soft fur, allowing it to stay cool in
summer and warm in winter. Nice.
So for temperature. Temperature control is another
is I guess probably for Marie, one of the main, I don't know,
uses of the wool, I guess. Yeah, it makes sense, which is
why it makes such good like good fabric to work with, right Marie
Wool. You see a lot of Marie Wool
shirts and jackets and stuff out.
Oh yeah. Whenever we open our merch
store, that's what we'll use a. 100% mute brawl What?
Was that Mister? I'm sorry.
What was that? What was that?
I'm sorry, what did you say
about a Weevil? It's only said Reap. 100%
Miracle. I thought he I thought he said
something about 100% Miracle Web, now sponsored by Welcome to
the World of Pokémon. Miracle Web is sponsored by.
Hey guys, this is our first ad read welcome here.
This is our first ad read. It's for miracle web.
Guys, have you tried the brand new fat free?
No, I'm just kidding. I just OK.
But the way you said it before you said that miracle weep.
Wow. Miracle Whip is sponsored by
Welcome to the World of Pokémon. Yeah, we guys, we've been making
a lot of Patreon. Thank you.
We sponsor Miracle Whip now, Yeah.
You guys, you know struggling business Miracle Whip.
We decided to throw him a bone and give him give him the
welcome to the world of Pokémon Bump.
I thought, I thought we were going to use a a blend of Elder
Gloss and whimsicott. But you know, now that I think
about it, I think fur would probably.
Be right, fur. You mean Whimsicott?
And what was the other one? Elder Gloss.
Elder Gloss Yeah.
Fur. Not.
Not like their bodies. Just no.
No stuck. Into a slurry of some kind.
No, no, no, no. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Alright, well we could talk about that.
I mean, Marie pool is pretty expensive, so I don't know
that's what we want to use. Maybe we put, maybe we put a
little bit in there. It is very, you know, good when
it's wet and stuff like. That, yeah, I think it will
really electrify our our outfits.
Nice. Make them pop.
Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Make it.
Give it a little zip ZAP to it. Yeah, a little Zing.
Little zinger, Yeah. Makes it feel electric.
Boogie woogie. Yeah, that's exactly, yeah.
That's a very funny professor. Thank you.
He's choking on his ZAP. What else is new?
Yeah, OK. The moving on to the The Helen
region Merip's fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds
static charge. The more static electricity is
charged, the more brightly the light bulb at the tip of its
tail glows. Oh, I'm sorry, it does say.
It says grows the more brightly, but that doesn't make any sense.
It does the more. Brightly it it glows.
No, no, no, no, no. I read it wrong.
It's that the more static electricity is charged, the more
brightly the light bulb at the tip of its tail grows.
Oh yeah. It grows.
More. Bright.
Yeah. It grows more bright?
No, it grows in size. I mean more brightly it grows.
Doesn't really make that doesn't make any sense, right?
That that doesn't follow. More brightly it grows well, you
can grow brighter. But it makes sense.
It is. But it makes sense.
It is. What it makes sense it?
Is what it makes sense. It is.
We can just say that it glows. I mean, you could even say that
it glows. Thank.
You thank you. Pausing for laughter?
OK, so OK, that does it for the Hohenn region.
Moving on to the Suno region, the first entry says it's
fluffy. Coat swells to double when
static electricity builds up, Touching it can be shocking when
it says swells to double. I assume that means like double
the size. It's not very descriptive there,
but it's I'm sure, I'm sure that's what what it means and
that's it for the Sino region. I mean it's kind of stuff we've
already heard something crazy. There is actually a Unova entry
here, by the way, which is awesome.
It rarely happens and I think it does give us some new
information. So I mean, I guess for some
reason Merip is a very important Pokémon to the, you know, Vins,
you know, you know, Valiens. You know of aliens.
You know, you know, of aliens. It says when cold weather
increases static electricity, its wool double s in size and
the tip of its tail glows slightly.
Right. All right, just a bit.
Yeah, just a bit, Yeah, just a wee bit.
So we have what it does in the summer, which is the fleece
falls off periodically and then grows back in a week and then in
winter it gets more static electricity so the wool double S
in size and it doesn't and it doesn't fall off.
So like winter is a problem. Time for Marie, I believe.
You've got to shear that stuff. So much fluff.
Yeah.
And again, it doesn't get more wool.
It's just that the it's just that it's like bigger.
It's less compact. It's bigger wool.
More. Air in there.
More fluff. So that's all that's in you Nova
more than normal, but that's, that's it.
Nothing new in the Kalos region I believe.
Moving on to the Ellola region. Oh, let's hear about how great
their mareep's are. Clothing made from Mareep's
fleece is easily charged with static electricity, so a special
process is used. It's sorry.
A special process is used on it. To extract it?
To make it, to make it, I don't know, not do as much what's
what's the special process? Do.
What's the OK, so a special process is used on it so we can
dye it different colors? Yeah, it it doesn't even like is
it? Is this special process used on
the clothing or is it used on the Marie before the the
clothing is or where the the wool is harvested?
Yes. You can't just say yes to AI.
Think the. Process is to, you know, make it
so that the the clothing is dry, cleanable and has nothing to do
with static electricity. It's kind of a misdirection.
Well, OK, but it says because it's so easily charged, like so
a special process is used on it. Oh, maybe they're saying sewing
is the special process that's used on it to.
Make it all right. All right, there's another entry
here from the Ulola region. It says rubbing its fleece
generates electricity. You'll want to pet it because
it's cute, but if you use your bare hand, you'll get a painful
shock. Oh, I was tempted today.
I was tempted to rub that. Yeah, I mean you you shoved Mr.
Curse's face right into it, so. Oh my goodness, he had to know.
I didn't feel and and strangely I didn't feel a thing on the.
The whole front of my face is just.
You know, well, that's because it's horribly, horribly
sunburned. We didn't mention that before,
but Mr. Curse's face is just it is it's peeling.
It's like that's all dead skin for sure.
Yeah, Do you even have any nerves in your face now?
I I I'm sure by the end of class we'll have it back together.
OK, all the fact that you stared at the sun for wait, what?
What? What do you mean Back to what?
What? Wait.
Hold. On my face, back together by the
end of class. That quickly, huh?
Yeah, it's well, so like, now that you know about it, now that
you know that it's really burned, you're going to work on
fixing it. How's that?
That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, how's that work?
Professor, please don't. Don't in great detail.
No, no, no. That's time for it, right?
Yeah, we got you got like 20 minutes.
Go ahead and. Well, you see, what I'm going to
do is. What I'm going to do is take my.
Syrup and then I'm going to use a.
Patch of my Porsche over here. And they're.
Weaving. An.
Audio patch of you know, Spinner X Silk,
and then finally everything will be back to the way it was.
Wow, I I stopped listening about 10 seconds. 5 seconds into that.
Oh my. Gosh, that was.
Yeah, that was. Honestly, it was my fault.
I told him to say it, to tell us an excruciation.
Glad a lot of you guys didn't have to listen to that.
Portia cut around it. My gosh.
OK, so I have another entry. Wait, hold on.
That does it for the regional entries.
Oh, hey, hey. Yes.
So there's nothing new in the Galar or in the Paldea regions,
unfortunately. So we're going to move on to the
unique Pokedex entries, which the first one we have comes to
us from Ash's Pokedex. It says Mareep.
The wool Pokémon Mareep store static electricity in their
woolly coats. They avoid battles and have mild
dispositions. That's right.
They like to chill. They're lovers, not fighters.
Yeah, they're they're real cool hangs.
They're. They're chill.
They're chill people.
Yeah, chill dudes. I'd hang with them, mareep.
Just don't. Their ability to the to build
static could be useful in if I could get spinner rack silk to,
you know, generate static electricity like that.
That would be another asset. You know, for my for my great,
my great colony of spinner racks.
Super spinner racks, yeah. Sure, if you say so.
The next entry also comes to us from Ash's Pokedex.
Must be a different Pokedex. Getting greedy.
Ash. I know it says Marip, the wool
Pokémon. When Marip's wool builds up with
static electricity, it's size double S like a wool.
Size. Like, it's not just like a giant
marip walking around the the wool.
It's wool double S in size. All right.
One more. Dynamaxed Marip.
Which comes to us from Professor Stromboli.
No rigatini, right? Rigatoni, Professor Neroli.
That's his name, Professor Neroli, right?
Which is not associated with a region of any kind.
Some kind of like sleep islands or something?
The sleep islands, yes. So it says when Mareep rolls
over and it's sleep, it's fluffy coat of wool rubs together and
builds a static charge. This apparently turns into an
electric current that flows into mareep's tail, sometimes causing
it to heat rapidly and start glowing at the tip.
All right, so now we have a connection between the wool,
anesthetically electricity, and the glowing tail, which is.
Pretty cool, but but everybody, everything just had a light
bulb. I thought they just had a light
bulb at the end of their tail. Professor.
I mean, it is like a light bulb at the end of its tail, but I
mean how does a light? How does a light bulb work?
Mr. Curtis tell me in excruciating detail.
I don't know I I just thought you got like a a light bulb
out-of-the-box in the closet and screwed it into a socket on the
Marie's tail. No.
Like like just little. But like you have to you said
you, you even said you have to screw it into a socket.
So that implies that you need some kind of electrical current
to. Well, yeah, yeah.
But you know, it it, it just works the same way as the light
bulb in the ceiling, right? Like you just put electricity in
it and it spits out like. Like even even you said right
now you have to put electricity into it.
Where? How are you putting electricity
into it and on the you? Clearly you put a plug.
In and it's the Marie. The Marie generates electricity
in the world, the static electricity you said.
Yeah, I did say that. But you were saying before that
you thought it worked like every other light bulb, which it it
is, I guess. OK, yeah, well no, the, the
Professor Stromboli said. It's like part of their tail
that gets really hot and glows. Well, what I'm saying.
Is like. I thought it was just a light
bulb you screwed into a socket. Oh my God.
That you bought at a store. That's how.
That's how light bulbs work. You're so you're so silly.
That's how light bulbs work. I can't.
OK, let's go ahead and move on.
That does it for all of the Pokedex entries on Marie.
Now I would normally move on to the testing portion, but I have
an essay here. Here, here, here, here.
This essay comes to us from Gil. They say Hello Professor.
I have recently signed up for the course and have been
steadily catching up on episodes.
And they're in. Lessons.
Yeah, lessons here make more. Get a right, Get a right Gil.
I They said that in the Machoke episode I heard you were taking
student essays, so I decided to go and write an essay about
Marie. Here it is.
Here it is.
Get ready. Mareep is a blue skinned
quadrupedal Pokémon covered in whitish yellow fur.
The ball at the end of its tail acts as a light bulb.
When static electricity is charged in its body, the light
bulb glows brightly. Additionally, when static
electricity charges in its body, its fleece will double in volume
and although this will make the fur look very fluffy, you should
definitely not touch it because it will shock you.
But then you'd think then why do we have clothing made from a
reap fur? Well, because it's fur is easily
charged. A special process is used on it
to neutralize the charge. It stores air in its fur to stay
cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Even though it sheds its coat in the summer, it grows back within
a week. Thanks Gil.
Well, thank you Gil for sending us this wonderful essay.
It was very, very good, Very good.
Definitely included a lot of relevant information from the
Pokedex entries. And I love to see that.
I love to see people using the Pokedexes for what they are
intended for, what they're intended for, which is writing
essays to send to me, right. All right.
So Mr. Curtis, are there. Well, obviously you're getting
extra credit for this, as much extra credit as I can possibly
give. But Mr. Curtis Gold Star?
You're thinking of Gold Star here?
I I think so. You know you, you took the
initiative. You did.
And you you. You give us back the initiative.
That's right, you steal it. But no, you did a great job and
we appreciate that. We love that.
We love. That I don't think I actually
heard you say that Gil gets a Gold Star.
No, no. OK, Gil Gil, you get a Gold
Star. Yeah, it almost sounds like you
don't want to give Gil a gold. Sounds like it's a.
Chore. No Gil can have a Gold Star.
I mean, doesn't sound like you. Want to give it to the student
we're? Just going to I have a student.
They're working very hard, very hard, and it's a.
Very good. No, it's good.
It's good. It's going to please.
It's please forgive me, Gil. Go.
You get a Gold Star, You get a star.
And and this is a sincere thank you for me, assistant teacher.
Mr. Curtis. Thank you very much.
Sounds like you forgot his name for a second.
No, no, no. All right, so now, now and only
now is it time for the testing portion of class.
My favorite time. And today we're doing one of my
favorite things. It's one of my favorite things
because I get to see you guys work together.
Oh, no, because we are doing an instructional video.
Oh. That's right.
We have to. Well, yes, 'cause it's today's
lessons or today's test, and I don't have anything else
planned, so we have to. All right.
So let me first read you what the instructional video topic
is, and I'll remind you what the rubric is very quickly.
I'll love it. So today's topic is how to
safely harvest the marine pool in the winter months.
Specifically in the winter months is when I want to here
because in the summer it kind of falls off.
So I mean, it's not that hard. But in the winter, there's a
couple other things you have to keep in mind.
So I want to hear about that. And here's your rubric so you
guys remember how it works. You must include information
that we learned in class. You must demonstrate an
understanding of the unique attributes and abilities of the
Pokémon. Three, the presentation must be
at minimum 5 minutes long and focus primarily on the topic
assigned. And four, the final point is
determined by your partner by answering the question How do
you rate your partner's participation in this project?
All right. Are there any questions?
Remember that? Come on now.
Yeah. Hey, you remember?
Now I can't remember, but I I feel like neither of you guys
have ever given a perfect score to your to your partner.
It's always been something like 3.97 or 3.95.
There's. Still hope today might.
Be the day that Corbin gets. That things might change might
be the change, if he deserves it.
We can all hope that's right. All right, So go ahead.
Take your time, maybe. I mean, do you want me to go out
into the hallway or you guys? No, no, no, no.
Professor, please. We couldn't ask you to move.
Please stay put. Exactly back.
We'll be right back. We'll.
Be all right. Take your time.
Professor. Professor, We're here.
We're here, Professor. We're ready.
That was almost in in unison. Wow you guys.
I am In Sync with my. Bye, bye, bye, bye.
OK. Yeah, that was going to that's,
that's what I was going to do. Yep, Yeah.
OK, great. That that was, yeah.
OK. All right.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Professor.
Anyways, so here's our constructional video.
We're going to put this right here in the tape and then we are
going to. A tape Corbin.
It's an oblong CD player. It's an Oval shaped CD player.
We don't know what it's called, OK?
Sorry, sorry Sir, another tutorial video with Corbin and
Mr. Curtis. Curtis What are?
We going to be doing today. Well, Class, thank you so much
for joining us as we discuss how to save the Harvest Harvest
Marine winter during the winter. Thank.
Yeah, very good. It's going to be great and easy.
Take me through step #1, Mr. Curtis, show me how you do it.
First step, you want to buy a pair of shears.
That's right. Good.
Powerful rubber insulated shears.
Cutting marine pool. That's right.
Or if you're broke like me and you don't have that, you can use
a kitchen knife, that's true. Or you know, some sort of arts
and crafts, scissors. When you're not making arts and
crafts, you can use those. That's exactly right.
Corbin. Corbin.
What's step #2? Well, step #2 is arguably one of
the most important ones, so you got to insulate yourself using
rubber gloves and protective PPE because you don't want to get
shocked messing around with these Marie pools.
Am I right fellas? Ladies, that's right, you want
to double check for you know, wires that are loose if you're
if you're doing this inside. Right, right.
Or unplug any outlets that you see you know, or or plug up with
like protective stuff or whatever.
Like make sure there's nothing in them, or if there is, it's
rubber proof. Coverings for them.
Shockproof. Surge protectors, that type of
thing. All that stuff.
Static electricity, you know, jumps around.
You want to make sure everything is safe.
Right. A rubber rug, if you will.
Whatever it takes. Ground yourself that type of.
Thing. Yeah, all that fun stuff.
Now take me into step #3, Mr. Curtis.
Sure. Of course.
Now you're going to want to look for a suitable Marie.
What's a suitable? Marie, keep inside and keep in
mind that they are. They'll typically we double
their normal size and their tail will start to glow.
As you know, there's extra static that is built up and
charged up during the winter because it's very staticky.
You know, looking for that double size and that glowing
tail make means they're prime and ready for the picking.
That's right. That's right.
What's step number four? Step number four.
OK, So what you're going to do after that, after you take your
primed, beautiful Marie, you're going to take your pair of
shears, you're going to carefully remove the first layer
of wool on the Marie and then you're going to set it aside.
Not on the ground, not on a post, not on a bench, not on a
table, but in a rubber insulated bucket.
That way nobody gets shocked. You don't have a bunch of
possibly static wool just lying around the place.
It's very important. It's a hazard.
Now what do I what do I do once the fur is all collected?
I've shaved my Marie down there looking spic and spam.
Now what do I do, Mr. Curtis? When the when the fur is
collected you're gonna want to add a neutralizing agent to
eliminate any electrical charges and hinder any future build up.
What's that neutralizing agent made of?
That's a good question. Anyway, step number six is keep
your eye on your Sean machine and make Sean machine.
What's that, Mister Curtis? Sean Marie.
For the next week when the police OK, hold on, let me redo
that one again. Keep an eye on your Sean Marie
for the next week while the fleece regrowth.
That's right. Make sure that you give you give
it a Marie blanket if you're gonna send it back outside in
the cold. Yeah, we can't have your newly
shaved. Marie be all cold, so make sure
you give him a blanket, something like a Marie blanket
to remind them of home. That's right.
And in the last step, which is really important, step #7 most
important, the most important step no doubt is give your Marie
a treat. Awe such as a puffin, some sort
of Berry to encourage his behavior and let him know hey,
it's OK to get shaved guys, Thank you so much for tuning in
for another tutorial video. We'll be back next time, and
until then, see ya on the next one.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
What'd? You think of that, Professor.
How about? OK, I see where the bye bye bye
thing came from because you put you put it in the video.
OK. Right, right.
That was like an inside joke between you guys that I was.
Getting right, Yeah, that was, yeah.
It was a song we kind of came up with for the video.
OK, so I have a quick question for you guys.
Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
So you said you want to look for the mareeps that for that's wool
is double the size and now you did attribute that I think you
attributed that correctly in that it means that they have
more static. Right, well, during the winter
time, I I I kind of stumbled over that line, but during the
winter? Time.
There's more static. No.
Your acting was flawless, Mr. Curtis.
Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
He was. He was great.
During the winter time, more static, more static means double
the size and tail starts to glow.
So wait, so you know. Why does more static mean it's
prime for the shearing? Because it's big, it gets.
When it gets bigger, it gets more staticky and you want
bigger, fluffier wool. You get more bang for your buck
when you shear that. OK, so you're saying that's
fluffier? Yeah, it gets bigger.
It gets double in size. I I have to make sure it's clear
that it doesn't get more wool when there's more electricity.
It just the wool is less compact.
It's fluffier. It's easier to.
Shear. It's easier to shear, and it's
better inside of products like a wool blanket or whatever.
It adds the fluffiness to. You want it when it's primed,
not flat. That's true.
I mean, it's still the same amount of.
But it's about the density. And there's a lot of processing
involved. You don't just you don't just
shave off the the, the wool and. Yeah, we just told you to.
Process and then like conform it into a shirt.
There's more, there's more to it than that.
You like. Turn it into like.
String It's just science that you don't understand, and we're
here to explain it. You don't do that, though.
I mean, I I just. I just like if like if you look
under my, under my, in my inner jacket.
Here I won't be just. It's just got a lot of I just
got some loose Marie wool shoved in there.
Oh, that's just for. Why?
You see? OK, but that's see again, that's
not a shirt. It's not a that's not a a
sweater or a jacket. That's that at best is lining in
a jacket that you already have. Like, I mean generous too, Mr.
Curtis, because because like you said, you just shoved it in
there. You didn't really like it, like,
you know, sew it on or anything. Also, you guys are a little bit
short on time. There wasn't a lot to do,
Professor. No, unfortunately you were at 4
minutes and 23 seconds. Oh, we should have rambled more
about the PPE. Now don't ramble.
That's not how you do it. That's not how you get good
grades. I.
Have to put more pauses between no my.
Words No. Bit.
Wrong. Very good.
So anyways, you guys are getting three out of four points for
that, but you guys, I'm giving you four out of four points for
for one and two. I'll take it.
That's fine, Professor.
Cause so sad. 'Cause, yeah, I mean, I'm.
I might disagree with the fact that when it's the has the most
static, it's the best time to share it.
The fact is what you guys said was true and that it has.
When it's winter, it first double s in size because of the
static literacy, which is good. All right, So, Corbin, if I
could have you leave the classroom real.
Quick Absolutely, but. You will be coming back.
Don't don't grab your bag. You're going to be coming back.
Fine, fine. All right, BRB.
OK. Goodbye all.
Right. Mr. Curtis, how would you grade
Corbin out of four, please? Well, I have to say, Corbin, he
he did, he did a great job. This time I'm going to give him.
He did a great job, that's right.
And he had a great attitude and it was a pleasure to work with
and he only had me facing the wrong direction in front of the
camera one time and then he corrected me.
So that was nice and I appreciated that.
So I am gonna give him 3.7 to 5 this time.
Around 3.75, OK. Can't.
All right. Gosh, can't squeeze that four
out of you, huh? All right.
Can you go into the hallway and then?
No one hate Professor. No one's perfect but you.
OK. So let me just let me just get.
I don't think a four out of four means perfection.
It means that it's a good. Good enough.
I know. All right.
Go ahead. And get it.
Tapping out. Tapping out.
Here we go. All right, I am back.
I'm back. Just.
Bumped into the wall before getting yeah.
Just push push me out into the hallway a little bit.
Alright, thank you. Thank you.
Shut up. close the door. So let's real talk here.
We're all laughing at the fact that he messed up.
I mean, come on, it was pretty big.
Pretty big mess up on. That, yeah, I know he did say
like, cut that out, but we're not cutting that out.
Come on. It's not, it's not a huge deal.
I mean a lot of these are live takes, you know, I always tell
him, you know, one take wonder sort of thing.
He doesn't listen. I roll camera and he he does
mess up from time to time. You know, we said one, take one
or for this one and he messed it up and that that that was a big
commitment that we made together and because he was willing to
throw that away, you know, but let me.
Just say, let me just say it kind of gave you a little bit
more time into your presentation that was.
That's not the point. I would rather, I would have
rather have something that's professional, polished and
something that's a little bit long, you know?
You know what I mean? So I I I I feel like a 3.4 is
necessary. I feel like you lose .6 points.
Wow, for that mess up, Yeah, everything else was.
It was pretty solid. .4 Man, it's a good thing I don't tell
him this because he'd lose his mind.
He also did smell, so he lost like half a point for that too.
Well, and he always smells. Right.
OK, so then I gave it back when I remembered that.
So .6 lost. OK, great.
All right, go. Can you please bring him back
in? OK, sure, Mr. Curtis.
Get your smelly, sticky butt back in here.
Come on, I'm. I'm.
I'm back.
Yeah. Welcome back here.
Welcome back. Let me just let me ow.
OK. All right.
I'm here.
I'm ready. All right.
I'm ready, Professor. I missed the door a couple
times. That's fine.
OK. So great, Great job today,
everybody. Great, great instructional
video. I think it's going to do it for
today. Hey, are there, are there any
like lingering questions that you have on Marie?
I don't think so. When can I play with Millie
again? Never.
Never what? Yeah, yeah.
While you guys were, while you guys were doing instructional
video, I did a little bit of extra work and got her to evolve
into the next Pokémon that we're learning.
About Did you really? Did you?
Yeah. What's?
What was she going to become? Say it with me.
We just said yeah, when I said to Sensua, so.
We're doing. Oh, I thought you said, did you?
I thought you said, did you? No, we're not learning about.
I did not evolve Millie into. Giraffery oh.
Wait, what did you say? Giraffery.
No, it's not giraffery. Although I could see I could see
the the connection between a you.
See. You see, I'm not that dumb.
What is it, Professor? Tell me.
OK, I'll just tell me Professor, please.
Next week we are learning about Flappy.
Oh, Flappy, the evolved form of Marie.
So yeah, I can look forward to that.
I can look more forward to some more wool shenanigans more next
week. But until then, if you have any

people experience this wonderful world of Pokémon.
But I think I'm going to go ahead and stop and get off this
little soapbox here. So until next time classes
dismissed. Wow, you really were on a
soapbox the entire class that I just know as professor.
I didn't slip off of it at all. That's pretty very talented.
Wow. Yeah.
It's very soapy. That's the balance I know and
love it's. Soapy and slippery.
OK, don't make it weird.
