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 me here in the classroom
today is, of course, my wonderful teaching assistant,
Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis, how are you today?
Are you doing well? Are you fine?
I'm. I'm doing well, thank you.
I'm sitting here at my desk. It's.
Been so long since I've seen you, Mr. Curtis.
Yeah, it has been a little while.
I, I, I will let you know. I have not left, left this spot.
I've been here since the last lesson, so yeah, you've been.
Saying that a lot recently. I have to.
I've. I've.
I have to watch the classroom. That's right.
You don't. You don't though.
You don't have to watch the. You.
You really don't have to I. It's fine.
I have, you know, I've kind of worn in the seat here a little
bit. If you look back over here how
it's got like the shape of. Hold on, I just saw your shirt
come up. Are those bed sores Mr. Curry
has? Literally been sitting there for
the last two weeks. Oh, that's a bad.
Bruise, you gotta get that checked out.
I, I would definitely say not no based off of what the sound that
you guys are saying at this point.
No, no, I, I, I get up actively and.
Corbin, don't forget, at the end of this lesson, at the end of
the lesson today, we need to actively drag Mr. Curtis out of
this classroom. I think he has some kind of, I
don't know, some kind of. He's got he's he needs a
hospital so. I think, yeah, I think, I think
he's, I don't know, has some kind of phobia of the outside
world. Now, Mr. Curtis, think about
your spinner rat colony. I see they're counting they're.
Fine, they're fine. They come to visit me and you
know. Bleeding, they're saying.
Please, Papa, come home. Please, Dad, come back, Daddy,
but we've. Eaten so many of the of our
brothers and sisters. Please come back.
Now we're trying to drag the townsfolk back.
Please, please save us. Yeah, there have been a lot of
people going missing recently, Mr. Curtis.
I listen, I I can't imagine. It's a joke but it's an actual
issue dude. Come on, I can't, I can't
imagine it's my spinner act that are causing the population of
this town to dwindle. But, but, but it's, it's not
just about guarding the classroom.
You know, Annette and I have regular chat seshes here and she
brings me goodies as well. I keep her company and she keeps
me company. So, you know, there's I've, I've
established a community in this building the.
Quite that sweet. But you needed a community
outside the building and specifically you need to leave
the building so you can like shower because.
I did. That's not just.
No, because you know, also joining us here in the classroom
today is of course, our young trainer and training, Corbin.
Corbin, how are you today? Good, good.
I'm doing well. I'm staying safe from the
spinner rack hordes that are abducting people into the woods
as I'm sure I don't know if you guys heard it, but they made an
announcement this morning before class that Larry, our
groundskeeper, you guys remember him right?
Well, you haven't seen him in a while.
I'll tell you why. Spinner X got him about 5 days
ago. That was what that's what I'm.
Saying Oh my God I can't believe Larry is canonically dead.
Yeah, Larry is gone. I mean, that we know of.
So that sucks. But they did say they're going
to get a replacement named Barry.
I think there is a ring. So I mean he's transferring.
He works out pretty well. Are you sure he is in a?
He is in a squovit. I'm pretty sure.
I mean, they had a picture of him smiling with a tie on and it
looked like an Ursa ring to me because we've talked about it.
Already I might be thinking of Mary, but no, Mary's the Marie.
Oh, no, no, no. We've got we've got Terry and
Larry. We used to have Larry.
Well, we did have Larry. Larry, don't forget Larry.
Larry is kind of silent moment of.
Silent moment of. Silent moment of silence.
OK, And then Porsche just make that sound like it was longer.
OK, go ahead. But but, but Larry's apprentice,
Harry the Tangela, you know. The Oh yeah.
And really touchy guy, you know that.
How could they? How could they just pass up
Harry? Harry is Larry's protege.
Well, they need somebody who's got a lot more muscle, I would
assume. You know, the GCLCBOTSCLC only
hires out, they don't promote up.
It's such a, it's such a huge problem.
But in who are? You going to ask to do all the
grounds work and Ursa ring that can, you know, dig and do a
bunch of cool stuff and like lift a bunch of stuff or you're
going to use a tangla. No offense to Harry, but like,
come on. I think Barry's the way to go.
Well, and then there was Anthony the Mccainium that was also
wanted to work here. And did did Anthony ever get the
job officially? I don't remember.
Well, I mean, I mean Curtis the name, the name Mr. Curtis.
Oh, that's true. That's.
Are you kidding me? They would never.
They would. OK, you know when I woke up this
morning, came in and hit record on the on the listening device
here, did not think I'd be breaking the news of the hordes
of Spinner act that I've been claiming victims across stay.
Safe out. There, stay safe.
Mr. Curtis, you got to go back after today's lesson.
You got to. Certainly.
Certainly not my spinner axe. My spinner axe would never do
that. I mean they keep spelling out
where where is Curtis with like backwards letters and stuff with
their webs. They are vicious killers,
vicious killers that have bred to be super spinner axe, but
they're not. But it's but it's not them so.
It's not mine anymore. I don't consider them my own.
I think you should say something at Friday's candlelight ceremony
for those who've gone missing. I think you should say
something, Mr. Curtis Yeah, it is at the the mayor's memorial.
Rock climbing, right again. He's a lie.
He is a lie. He has not.
He has not been claimed by the Spinner Act yet.
But, you know, you never know what could happen.
The longer you wait, Mr. Curtis, the more of a risk we have of
losing our politicians. Actually take your time.
OK. All right.
Well, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take that into due
consideration. Maybe I can work something out,
a timeshare or something like that.
All right, I'm glad we worked. We worked.
Wait, what? I was.
I'm sorry. I.
Was share for the spinner I. Was looking forward to what
we're going to do next. I completely phased out, came
back in on timeshare. Don't know where that plays into
what we're talking about at all. A timeshare for spinner racks,
huh? Well, timeshare as in like you
know, share some some of my time in the class and then some of my
time at the. Spinner racks, You know, I
thought he was going to buy them a vacation home where they could
kill more locals. OK.
No. OK, OK, all right, all right, so
I have a Gengar male here that I'd like to read before we start
talking about Pokémon. If that's OK, let's read.
It comes to us from Polytode Man or Polytode Man, Sir Porkelius
the dude. That's a name.
That's a full name. Yeah, yeah, they say.
Hello mates. I'm assuming they're Galerian.
Yeah, probably. In Tuesday, the one his
schedule, the one great Corbino AKA Corbin pronounced Corbino
the great sky baby minister, Minister Curtis.
And then they spelled Curtis just a bunch of different ways.
Thank you. And Prof Jacob pronounced sorry,
Jacob pronounced Jacob because I polytode mancer Porkelius the
dude. Please note that is not spelled
dude, but dude, thanks. It's D.
It's DOOD instead of DUDE. OK, yes, yes.
So they've come with several things for us today.
I'm going to try to paraphrase the gangurmail here.
They ask us to read the splink poem that they have, and I'm
going to read that. OK, splink it up.
Just because it's going to be a long time since we get to before
we get to splink and they did it might be like fairly nice.
So I will I will go ahead and read that.
They also say I have a problem and that problem is that my
gengar that lives under my bed has run away and I need my
nightly scare. So how can I put him under my
bed dot dot dot for good? So please help, I'm alone and
sad and having a mental breakdown.
I feel bad buddy. Without him.
Disclaimer, I'm not having a mental breakdown.
I'm just joking. I know you probably know that,
but I probably need to put this here.
Oh, me too. Thank you.
Yeah, of course I'm joking too. All right?
How do we get a Gengar back under a bed?
Guys, what's the what's the plan here?
So you have to scare to get back under the bed.
Is that the deal? No wait, no Parker.
Sorry Polly, Toad, Mancer Park Helius.
The dude needs the Gengar under their.
Bed OD not DUD. Sorry, didn't sound like I said
DDE. OK.
I'm sorry dude. Dude.
And don't forget the Sir, he's clearly been knighted.
Yeah, so they need their nightly scare, right?
And because the Gengar is away from their bed, they're not
getting their nightly scare. So we need to get we need to
think of ways to get a Gengar back under a bed.
Well, now I have to go back and listen to the Gengar lesson
because I don't remember anything about them.
Yeah, give us, give us a quick second.
We're going to listen to Gengar. Let's see here we.
We recommend you guys do the same.
Yeah, Take a break. Go listen to Gengar come back.
Can I interest you in like a poltergeist or like a frost
glass? So you're thinking completely,
you're saying Gengar old school, get the old school, get one to
like, get new poltergeist. Yeah, right.
A mischievous, right, You know, Sure.
Mischievous love to scare people.
That's like what they thrive off of, right?
So if you need to, yeah. Put a little Boo in there.
Oh. Yeah.
Yeah, Well, no, Little Boo Little Blue has to work here.
I mean, we can't send Little Boo off to everybody who wants to
scare. All right.
True. That's true.
All right. Yeah.
You know, like Gengar steals life forces and stuff.
I don't think mischievous does that.
It just like it just feeds off of scare energy.
It just likes to be. It just likes to scare people.
And if you want a nightly scare, you know what?
That's it. We're here to say as a class,
everybody needs a little Boo. He's speaking for us, Corbin,
he's speaking. Everybody, Everybody needs a
little Boo. That's right, everybody needs a
little Boo. T-shirt, you know.
T-shirt. And put that on T-shirt.
So the final thing is polytode man, Sir Parkeelius, the dude
has also drafted us some T-shirt designs.
OK, There's one that says we are cursed with consciousness.
And then it's like a little shrug, little guy, like little
shrugging. And that's great.
Good one, Yeah. And.
Then the second one is no, no please.
I don't want to go to the twig prison.
No the twig present. Is that from the jump love
lesson? Yeah, it's like the lesson, the
town meeting that served as the jump love.
Lesson It was during the jump pluff and that was our whole
camping expedition. Yeah, good times, good times.
Good times. I don't miss it.
I still have PTSD from. Really.
I thought we really did as a team.
I mean, we did, but like, there was a lot of things that during
the night that scared me. I don't want to talk about them.
OK, all right. I'm going to finish.
Park Helius's the dude, Sir. Park Helius, the dudes, did you
hear by reading this? Wait, no, Corbin, do you want to
read the poem? Where?
Yeah, So it's in the Gangar mail, I don't know if you.
Have it on. Here, let me show it to you.
Oh, oh, OK. Thank you.
Sorry. Yeah.
And then it's like it starts on like 3 lines from the bottom.
Oh, OK, here it is. All right, here he goes the the
Splinker poem. Right.
Just Oh yeah, splinker poem. Splinker poem.
What a beauty. It is super cute.
What hoot of fun Jumping high in the sky.
It could be done. It is one my heart.
We will not be torn apart. What a work of art.
It can dart in the air, not tied to a chair up where in the sky
right there. It will jump, jump.
That is legit the first poem I've ever written.
I would be absolutely honored if you read it.
Well, here's your honor. We just read it.
Thank you. Thank you for your poem.
That's right. Yeah, Great work.
You will, of course, be getting extra credit.
Wait. Yes, Miss Curse.
Did you miss the last line? Yeah, there wasn't.
You didn't miss a line there of. Course, you did miss a line
there. It was job.
Not job. I wasn't sorry.
There I was. Meant to say I'm looking at the
e-mail here and looking at the Jeep the the Gengar mail here.
Sorry, the paper he gave me had a coffee stain on it.
I don't. Drink coffee.
I do drink, take, take my copy here.
Take care. Not tied up to a chair where in
the sky, right there it will jump, jump without a care.
It is the heir to the throne of my heart.
There we go. There we go.
I'm so. Sorry, good.
So sorry. Yeah.
So maybe, hey, maybe we'll read that again when we get to this
point. Maybe we will forget honestly.
Others. No, we'll remember.
No, we won't. But excellent poem.
Thank you so much. Polythood, man.
Sir Parkeelius, the dude. You get extra credit.
Mr. Curtis. Gold Star.
Did they did they say about how
great spinner acts were though? Or, you know, book types in
general. No, but they did do about like
10 different spellings of your name.
Yeah, it's true. That's a lot of effort.
It's a lot of work. And I think Mr. Cruz, right now,
right now, Mr. Cruz, look at me. I think we need to kind of tone
down your affiliation with Spinner Axe at the moment.
Just just because I could never. I, I, well, I just, you know.
It's not a good luck, right? Now it's not a good luck right
now. There's a lot of morning people
out there, not like they wake up early, but like they're sad and
they're. Like they wake up and they're
sad because their kid is gone. You know it's OK.
Yeah, think. Of poor Larry's family.
OK, I guess I will. I'll give, I'll give.
I'll give the dude a a Gold Star.
Poly toad man Sir Parkeelius the Dude.
Don't forget, don't forget that, Sir.
Yes, all right. Gold Star.
Excellent job, Poly toad man. Sir Parkeelius the dude.
If any other students out there would like to send us a Gengar
mail, they can send it to wwopokemon@gmail.com.
The G stands for Gengar. Gengar Ginger.
OK, let's Start learning about Pokémon.
Does anybody know who we're learning about today?
I will remind you we learned about Houndor yesterday.
And. It is the evolved form of
Houndor who we're learning about today.
Baltund. No.
Is it Decidui? It's not decidui.
Can we like? Can we stop?
Can we just stop? You know, you know, Decidua does
not evolve from Houndor. Come on, Mr. Curtis.
I mean all I know is that we have not hit decidua yet and I
also know that not always the straight evolutions are next to
each other sometimes. They're different.
Well, OK, but I did say it is the evolved form of Houndor.
He did I. Mean right now.
Yeah, he's right. Fire.
You know grass, ghosts, you know 4 legs, wings.
I mean, I've seen crazier evolutionary paths.
I'm just saying. True.
Fair. Man, can we, I feel like we
should have some kind of like decidua music or like maybe like
a little every time he says decidua like a little like, I
don't know, some kind of like applause or some like kind of
like clap track plays in the background.
Oh, Portia just sent an e-mail and she says I don't get paid
enough for all that. OK.
Portia, how much is enough? Thanks Portia.
Real quick question, how much is enough?
Oh, it just came up on screen and it's still going.
I'm still scrolling. I'm scrolling a.
Big number. Good.
Gosh, still going. And there's.
And the scroll wheel on my mouse broke, so I don't know how far
it goes. OK, it's like.
It's a lot. I guess we won't do I guess.
I guess a small like clap applause in the background is
too much work for Porsche to do. Porsche, stop being lazy.
Thank you. OK, so we're all we're not
learning about Decis UI. No it so is it Entei?
I feel like calendar evolves in Entei.
You know, that's not a terrible guess.
I'll just say we're learning about Hound Doom today.
Hound. Doom.
Oh no. Oh, we're not going to see one
in class. Are we?
Of course. We're going to see one corn.
Have you already seen a hound Doom, Mr. Curtis?
I know you have. Yes, yes.
Listen, remember earlier I'm calling back to the earlier
mention of the jump off lesson. Portia, Portia put in a ripple
flashback effect right here if you could.
OK, another e-mail. It says I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing. That Yeah.
Yeah. Portia's.
Yeah. Portia.
The end of this e-mail says that she is quiet quitting.
Oh. Portia Oh, no.
Dang it, girl. We're gonna turn that.
I'm gonna turn down the volume on my on my e-mail notifications
real loud every time an e-mail comes in.
Partition respond to this in the little class.
Yeah, I have seen them. And I saw them during our
camping expedition during the jump Luff and skip loom lessons.
And that was the horrifying thing that I saw in the night.
I I would see them run around and kind of stalk me and my tent
and sleeping bag. And it was, it was not, it was
not fun. I felt like I was going to die
at any minute, like my tent would be consumed.
Like you. I was scared.
You know, like you're roaming around the city streets of
Goldenrod and there's you hear skittering and and vine or
strings whipping here behind you as you're walking around.
Do beautiful sounds is what you're telling.
Relaxing sounds just like relaxing sounds.
No full on PTSD please and if we could just you maybe share a
picture of Hound Doom today, I think that would be.
No, I have a real Hound Doom here that I'm going to go ahead
and throw out. Oh, wait.
Sorry. Hi, Annette.
Yeah, come. On Hey Annette, what's going on?
What's shaking? Net's bringing me my some food
here and and some some good reading material.
See, I told you, Net's been taking care of me as I've been,
you know, here guarding the class.
Wow, is that fresh hot SAP nice. Nice.
Let me get a Let me get a quick. No.
You like your SAP cold, Mr. Curtis.
I do. I do tubes in there.
I know that for a fact. I do.
Oh, no, it's OK.
It's OK. You probably didn't mention
that. It's all right, sweetie.
But, but, but I I can't, I can't say that in front of a net.
I mean, she did, she she worked so hard in in tapping the trees.
It's OK Now you can bring it over here.
I'll just pour it in my flask with the ice that's already in
here. Hold on.
Let me just, I'm just going to fill that up a little bit and
give it a little swish. There it is.
OK. Yeah, yeah.
Much, much better. Just a little quick little.
Some good old ASMR. Oh, and thank you Annette.
Thank you for the the printouts that I asked for as well.
Hey, we're just about to to show off the Pokémon for today.
You want to stick around. Yeah, we won't take our
business. A little surprise you'll love.
It and here it is. Hey, that's not deciduised.
Oh, Annette. Oh, are you OK?
Wait. Oh, no.
Where's she going, Annette? Wow, the the the the howls of
Houndums just scared she just dug straight into the ground.
Oh my God, no, no, not through the.
Floor. No.
How would we know what time it is?
Oh no. How?
No. 15 minutes to get. Maybe we get clocky in here.
Maybe we get Clocky to come in here.
No, no. Wow, we haven't seen this much
floor damage since the last time that that gunk was around.
Annette just dug straight through the floor down, down,
you know, all the Annette has all these tunnels that run
underneath the the the school so.
Annette Oh man, the GCL. CBOTSTLC.
Yeah, the the exactly the GCBCALCGLCB is.
And look how proud the Hound Doom looks like there.
Yeah, it's so proud. Are you proud of yourself 'cause
that that horrifying like. Look at that, smug.
We should call you smuggalicious because look at that face, it's
so smug. Smuggalicious definition.
Make them and let's go. Bye bye.
Make the make them other. Yeah, yeah, Exactly what Corbin
said. Exactly what Corbin?
Said no, you do your own. Make make those secretaries go
loco he. Did it?
And Porsche's going to play the applause right now.
Thank you, Porsche. She did it.
She did it exactly what I deserved.
Thank you. I'll deposit that money into
your bank account, Porsche. OK, let's go ahead and describe
Hound Doom here. Or Smugglelicious.
Describe Smugglelicious, The Hound.
Doom. So Smugglelicious has four legs.
It is a quadrupedal, as the kids say.
She, she, I'm so sorry. And she most of her coat is very
like a dark kind of charcoal, not quite black.
But it is dark coal. I would definitely say yeah.
And she has these very intimidating like grayish bands,
like 2 bands around each foot right above the paw.
You know, each of the paw has like 3 little digits with claws
on them. It does have an orange
underbelly and also its nose and mouth area is the same color as
its underbelly. Now it does have those these
really intimidating horns and also like a little bit of a
babyly little collar and also three ridges on its back that
are also the same color as those bands.
It's all Gray now. Like I said, it's known for its
horns. It's big curly little horns on
the front of its head. It's pretty intimidating and
also it has a really unique looking tail.
It's very thin, but at the end it's like pointed.
It looks like an Arrowhead. And now the weirdest thing about
how it's. Kind of like pointing at its,
it's like little back ridges being like, hey.
Yeah, like, look at me. Look at me.
Now I do have a question for for smuggalicious though.
It it is. It is weird though.
Smuggalicious. Is there any reason why you why
you have an alien pendant on your chest?
Can you please explain that to me?
I don't get it. I don't know what that means.
I don't speak. OK.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. No, no.
What did she say, Mr. Curtis? Oh, I, I can't repeat it.
It's it's too, too, too blue for the, the current company here.
But but I the the hey, I, I see what you, I see what you're
working with there. I don't know what I could
possibly mean. Smuggalicious and I, we're on a
different wavelength and that's all I have to say about that.
I don't like that you guys have your own little.
Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that at all.
Do you think the ridges and the horns are made out of the the
same material? Like the same?
They look like it. Yeah.
It looks like it's all like this hard kind of Bony material.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and I
think we've had smuggle licious out here for for long enough.
I don't want to leave a hound doom out in my classroom for all
that long because. Yeah, probably a good idea.
I've been trying not to pee myself so.
Yeah, there's some dangerous, dangerous parts of of hound Doom
and you know, that's it's you know, they're pretty impressive,
impressive Pokémon. So we're gonna go ahead put put
some delicious back into her Pokeball.
Thank you for for being a good sport.
All right. Bye.
Bye, delicious. I'll talk to you some more
later. Oh, that's so weird.
Like that. Yeah, my God, I feel like I
could breathe a little bit. I would say the description is
pretty good, but I think you would describe the color of
smugglers belly and face as more of a red than an orange.
I'm so sorry it's. My I think it's orange.
I think it's orange. Orange is red, as the kids say.
If that's. Well, I mean, the professor's
always right, so yeah. There you go.
He could say it's blue and you'd be like, yeah.
That's it's actually, it's exactly actually it's exactly
what the professor said. I would, I totally agree with
that. Thank you, Professor.
And just like spinner rack are blue, so is this hound doom.
Yep, Yep, professor. See, you can't deny it.
Yeah. He's clawing his death.
Yep, Yep, Yep, it is. Yep.
Can you hear his fingernails like snapping we.
Just get a little bit of a. Oh wow, that's a it's a 2 sipper
kind of day here in the classroom.
We haven't even gotten to the testing portion yet.
We. Haven't even started talking
about the Pokémon yet, which we should probably start doing.
There's a lot of good entries here.
They all seem to talk about different parts of of Hound
Doom, so let's get into it. Wow, that's rare.
I know, I know the first entry says if you are burned by the
flames that shoots from its mouth, the pain will never go
away, which is kind of why I kind of want to, you know, get
get smuggalicious, kind of like back in the Pokeball as quick as
possible. Like, listen, we have a lot of
fun here. It's a lot of fun.
It's pretty funny when the Pokémon like bites Corbin or
like throws Corbin across the room, or like punches Corbin.
Are you guys having fun here? Leave a comment on Spotify.
I don't think I could live with myself if I let Corbin get
burned with an ever painful like fire breath.
Yeah, I'm already cursed for eternity because I kicked a
Corsola twice. And that wasn't my fault.
That was all you. You came to class with that.
I know, I know. All right, moving on, the next
entry says upon hearing it's eerie house, other Pokémon get
the quote UN quote shivers and head straight back to their
nests. Oh, where's a Nets nest, huh?
Sounds funny to say, Annette. A nest.
They remember we said they Annette has tunnels all over the
all over the under, underneath the GCLV.
But where does she call home? In the in the tunnel she has a
cave underneath. Remember, we have dinner parties
down there sometime. OK, but where does she call
home? Which hole?
Which tunnel? There's got to be one that she
likes the best. 1 little divot in a tunnel.
That's like nice. The cozy.
You got a sleeping bag, you know. 4 KTV.
Yeah, it's, it's underneath the like the front office.
Motion smoothing on the way TV is meant to be watched is meant
to be. Watched no.
What are you, a boomer? I.
Want my motion smooth otherwise I can't.
I can't see it, no. Yeah, that is that's that's
exactly how it should be. Yeah, give me do my 24 frames
per second. Give it to me choppy.
I don't want it smooth. Oh wow, a three sipper kind of
day. Yep, Yep.
As you say, professor, motion smoothing is the way to go.
So you gotta have it on you very.
Curious, why are you banging your head on?
Everybody, everybody go. Go to your TV right now, look
for this motion smoothing option.
Turn that. Portia bleep on the sound now.
Thank you Portia for bleeping all that out.
Oh, Portia unbelief it. Portia, go back, unbelieve it,
play it now everybody, everybody go, go to your TV right now,
Look for this emotion. No moving option.
Turn that. No, if somebody.
Turned it off. Turn that back on.
Turn that bad boy back on. You're you're going to thank me.
I guarantee it. Oh my goodness.
Sorry, professor, what are we talking about?
What's happening? OK, Yeah.
Ganga. No, not Ganga males.
We did that already. Pokedex entries, The last one
from the Joe Turitan says the pungent smelling flame that
shoots from its mouth results from toxins burning in its body.
OK, so it's ever it's toxins that just like embed itself into
your skin and never go away. That sounds awful.
Yeah, it's like the perfect mix of like toxin and fire, which
is, you know, a just just a horrible, painful experience.
Love that. I wonder how protects itself
from such the the the fire inside of its body, the burning
toxins. It's probably it's probably
lined with something internally. It would have to be like what I
think, like plastic or? No, I think whatever.
Or something. Flame and tech, you know, toxic
proof. Maybe polyester?
Polyester. OK.
All right. Moving on to the Hoenn region.
Do maybe they? Did you have your hand raised,
Mr. Curtis? Yeah, maybe, maybe they just,
maybe they just, they're not immune to it.
Maybe it's just that they have a, you know, they have a higher
tolerance to it. So it's not quite as like
painful, but like maybe that's why a lot of how dudes have a
bad attitude a lot of times. 'Cause they're just their
insides are constantly burning. They're just always in the
sight, a little bit of pain, this.
Girl is on. Fire.
Right. Am I right fellas?
Am I right? That's Alicia.
Hold on. I got it.
Cliff Key. Dang it.
That's what I was going to say. Dang it.
I'm sorry, I'm a huge fan. I had to beat you to it.
I can't not talk about Alicia Klefke.
Alicia Klefke. Beautiful woman woo rivals Dawn.
Yeah, so that's that's that's that artist.
OK, moving on to the Owen region, the first entry says in
a Hound Doom pack, the one with its horns rate sharply towards
the back, serves a leadership role.
These Pokémon choose their leader by fighting amongst
themselves. Kind of like kind of like us
humans, am I right? Yeah, am I right?
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
I can't. I can't.
I can't believe Welker's world of Pokémon and went political.
I know it's you know what? Bring back the old wop.
Am I right everybody? God Wop goes woke.
Everybody knows. Bring back the swearing.
Bring go the swearing. No, no, no, not allowed.
So much trouble for that. We can't do that.
We're very mad. Yeah.
So it's interesting that it says that the leader has like their
horns are raked sharply backwards is and but they choose
their leader by like infighting. So say you have a leader, right,
and their horns are raked back sharply and then they lose the
leadership fight. Now we have a new leader.
But like do their horns like automatically?
Like do they fall off or something or And how does the
other ones horns assume they're raked back position?
Maybe when 1 beats another one, the horns know and they're like
it's time to elongate and curl a bit more.
OK, yeah, it's like it's there's some kind of like.
It's like a genetic thing. He has like a biological
functioning they. Know maybe, but maybe it's maybe
it's a chicken and egg so situation.
Maybe it's instead of it's the, you know, does does becoming the
leader make your horns go back or is the person is the hound
doom that has the most rake back horn?
Like do they just have an advantage in the fighting that
allows them to become the leader?
Right. Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe.
It's just that, you know, whoever has the most raked back
horns has the best fighting prowess and then becomes the
leader. Well, they just got the skill.
Yeah, exactly. Maybe I don't know, you know,
good conversation, good, good thinking.
It could be there either org or any of those options that we
said. Moving on to the center region.
The entries here says there's two actually long ago.
I feel like I have to start whenever a Pokedex entry starts.
No good? No.
Good like like a old man kind of storytelling voice long ago.
Yeah, bring Mr. Rigby in here. Well, he's more like there's
long ago people make. It.
Eerie house to be a call of the. Grim Reaper.
That was close. This was pretty.
Good right now. That was pretty good.
Yeah. He sounds a little bit breathy,
like he just like ran like 20 miles, but.
Yeah, I was. I was feeling pretty breathy.
Yeah, yeah. That's good.
Anyways, did you guys catch that entry?
But yeah, something about long ago people imagined it.
Siri Howells be the call of the Grim Reaper.
Yeah, that was. Exactly right.
Actually that's that's. Perfect, Yeah.
It's weird, I can understand you better when you talk like that.
And I'm not gonna do it. More, I think.
I think you should do the rest of the lesson in that voice.
I will not, I will not be doing it.
Oh, and I'm getting an e-mail from Portia saying, yeah, Nope,
I should not do that without an A raise.
So I will not do it. Oh, thank you, Portia.
Thank. You Portia.
They say the next entry says the flames.
It breathes when angry, Wait on the flames, it breathes when OK,
I got it. Cut all that out, you get clean
one. Oh wow, you really have to turn
down that e-mail notification noise cuz let's.
See what this? Yeah.
Cuz Boris said said they're no, they're not going to cut that.
Put that one out. That's.
Weird, that's what you got mine said.
Yes, I am definitely going to cut that out.
I'll cut this part out too. I got your back.
No worries, Prof Jay. No, no, mine says.
Actually, I'm not going to cut got it out, but I told him I was
going to ha ha, he he good inside joke.
Don't tell Prof J Thanks, Curtilicious.
I go ahead and close, close my laptop here for a little bit.
I'll use. I'll use my physical Pokedex.
I mean, I got an e-mail too, but she just asked if I wanted to
play video games tonight at 5:00, but that was it.
Too late. We are doing a late night study
session till 9 so. Have fun.
I won't be. There.
No, no. It's mandatory and you're.
As, yeah, as you're sorry, as you're legal, Guardian Cortman,
I'm telling you, you have to be there.
Why? All right, can I can I read this
Pogo next century? I know I had trouble my.
God, yeah, go ahead. Geez.
The flames it breathes when angry contain toxins.
If they cause the burn, it will hurt forever.
Forever. Wow.
Forever. Ever.
The burn that hurts. Forever.
Like, it kind of seems irresponsible to use this
Pokémon in a Pokémon battle, right?
Like yeah, you're just tormenting other Pokémon.
Like I come in and I'm like, I'm not even trying to win.
I just want to make your Pokémon hurt until they die.
That's worse. That's worse than killing them.
Yeah, it's it's horrible, honestly.
So don't, guys, don't, don't use.
If you ever get into a battle and you see the other person
bring out a Hound Doom, just don't.
Just cut and run. Just just be like I I don't need
this. I don't need to take, you might
accept. That you weren't meant to win
that one and. Leave professor.
Why doesn't burn away work with that with with the hound Doon
burn? Burn the toxins, yeah.
Yeah, but but OK. So you mix, you mix an antidote
with the burn away together and then you got it.
OK. You just think, OK, yeah, just
mix an antidote. Just, Oh yeah, just mix an
antidote. Well, that that's what they call
it. You buy it at a Pokey Mart, you
just, you know, an antidote get. Poisoned.
Oh, I see what you're saying. OK, I see what you're saying.
So a burn heel is what I was like.
I didn't know what a burn away. Was no Burn Away is the OK.
They're the competers of Burn heel.
OK, Burn Away. It's a whole different brand,
Yeah. OK, I've been.
Trying to get spots answered by them since we started this
lesson series. Burn Burn away is the name
brand, Burn heel is the generic. Mr. Curtis, you got to get burn
away. Plus, if you really wanted to,
Dang it, it's a free sponsorship.
Nevermind. Cut that out, Porsche.
Oh good. Porsche, cut that out, Porsche.
Oh, here come the emails. You know, Porsche, for all the
emails that you're sending, you could just do some of these
edits. Right.
Yeah, Come on. I'm going to read that one.
I don't know, Mr. Curtis. I feel like this is a special
mix of toxin, and because so antidote heals poison, but this
is a toxin. I don't know if it's the same it
is causing like an open wound maybe from the boils and sores
of the. The pus.
OK, leaking out, I didn't say. Sorry if you guys are eating.
What the? You just said pus apropos of
nothing. You guys on your lunch break?
Let's talk about Pus. Wounds.
So maybe maybe the the the acid or the the the toxin get in
that. Way I need to study this toxin
toxin because. Take your time, take a sip.
Hey, take a sip. OK, another sip.
Get in there buddy. This is a 4 sipper lesson.
Go ahead. Is this a four sipper?
Such a good sip as as I was saying, is that we really I
really need to study this particular toxin because if I
could breed this trait into my spinner spinner rack line, oh
boy, would it be an asset to breeding the perfect spinner
rack. Actually, I think that actually.
Maybe we should keep him in this hate core.
Maybe. Hey, you know, maybe you should.
Actually, I think I need to get back to the colony.
No, I think you should stay here.
I think the professor and I here.
Mr. You stay. Here, the professor and I are
gonna use Smugglelicious for maybe one to two hours to maybe
weed out some of the masses of spin.
Around no, no, you don't need to do that.
OK, let's distract him. I have a couple more Pokedex
entries here. There's nothing new when you
know about nothing new in Kalos. So we move on to the Alola
region. The 1st century here says they
spew flames mixed with poison, so that says poison here.
To finish off their opponents, they divvy up their prey evenly
among the members of their pack. So what do they?
What do they mean by that? The divvy up the prey.
As in like they, you know, they get a kill, they split it evenly
between. Oh, OK.
So if they get, if they catch like a Toros they are, they're
going to RIP that in thirds and fourths.
Yeah, depending on how many are in the pack.
Yeah, what do you think the AA's favorite part is?
The head I. Think it depends on the alpha.
I don't. I don't really know, I guess it
depends. On It kind of feels like you're
asking me what I think is the most succulent part of the
Torah. Well, let us deliver.
Well, OK, so OK, I was going to say the hindquarters.
Pretty juicy. The stomach so you can eat
whatever it was eating. Oh, Dad, I.
Like that two for one. That's what we call that.
The old 2 for one. That's challenging, but.
It does sound. Good.
But I of course I agree with you, professor.
That's the best part. Yep.
Yeah, maybe turn on motion smoothing yet on your TV, Yeah.
Everybody out here, I did. I did.
Everybody out here, here's what I want.
No, I want you to send me. I want you to send us a Gangar
mail of your TB. Just proof that the motion
smoothing is on. I want to see the.
I want to see it on Maybe a video too, just to prove.
Does this show some the second? You send that Gmail.
We are quitting the lesson series and we're never coming.
Back No, don't listen to him. He doesn't.
He doesn't get to say that I'm the professor.
I won't come back. He has to.
Yeah, he's. Contractually obligated.
That's right. He loves us.
He can't. He can't.
He can't leave us. A moment contraction.
Obligated to answer Q&A questions on the Patreon.
That's it. We were in a Lola, the next
century here says, identifiable by its eerie house.
People a long time ago thought it was the Grim Reaper and
feared it. No Fear the Reaper baby, they
my. My favorite one of my favorite
bands, the Blue Cloister called. They're so good.
I'm your man. Yeah.
And then, Mr. Kirk, what's your favorite?
What's your favorite part of that?
Song Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought, I really thought you were going to say it was the the
mill tank bell part that they. Yeah, yeah, the mill, the mill
tank. Yeah, mill tank bell.
There's like more more mill tank bell.
Yeah, I was thinking that the first time I heard it too.
More mill tank. Just I just.
Need more mill tank bell? You OK, Miss Curtis?
Yeah, yeah, you hurt your throat.
Yeah, well, yeah. Take a sip.
Take a sip, buddy. Take another sip. 5 sipper.
Come on, five sipper lesson today.
Y'all, Yeah, there's a year in your throat there, all right.
Nothing new in the Gala region. Let's see here.
I don't think there's anything new in Paltea region either.
I do have entry here, I believe from the Lentil region.
Yes, it says that pack of Hound Doom.
I guess we're talking about a very specific pack here.
Back in the woods again. It's okay, I think.
I think the Pokedex entry here is talking about a specific pack
of Hound Doom In the lecture, which we're nowhere near, it
says that pack of Hound Doom seem to be working together to
protect the ruins. Some people say they're eerie
howls sound like the grim Reaper.
There he is. He's he's with us.
That's a. Hound Doom in London.
In in London? Where in in London?
Where's that in London? And where's that?
I don't know. It's just what they say in the
song. I don't know.
Of course you got that out or leave it in.
I don't really care. You don't have to e-mail me.
No, no, I just got one, she said.
I guess she'll find out when you listen to the lesson later.
Ha ha ha ha ha Yi Hoo Hoo. All right, let's move on to the
unique Pokedex entries. The first one here comes to us
from Ashes Pokedex. Of course.
It says Hound Doom the Dark Pokeex.
Oh, it's that's the problem. I figured it out.
It's it's it's supposed to be Hound Doom and Winden Hound Doom
window. How?
Doom Winden. How do the window?
That's right. And Porsche play that song right
now. Mr. Curtis is the sky baby baby.
Mr. Curtis is the big fat Sky baby.
There it is. OK, that was the sky baby music,
but that's fine. OK.
Anyways, Ash's Pokedex, Hound Doom, the Dark Pokémon, the
evolved form of Houndor. Hound Doom's eerie howl is said
to cause those who hear it to shudder in fear.
Yes. Yes, like that.
Yeah, exactly. One more unique entry comes to
us from Professor Neroli. It says Hound Doom breathes
flames when it's angry and on rare occasions when it's asleep.
Perhaps it's dreaming of fighting other Hound Doom to
choose the leader of the pack. Okay.
Very good, very good. All right, okay, that's all.
The Pokedex entry is on the base form, the standard form.
The base form. Yeah, but I don't know if you
guys know this. There is a mega evolution, a
Houndum can a mega is. Now I do have these pictures
that that Annette brought in. Oh, that's question.
Oh, OK. Yeah, here's one.
For you, Corby. Here's one for you, Mr. Curtis
Oh, thank you. So if you could.
Go ahead and describe megahoundum, Mr. Curtis.
Describe Megahoundum. More, more bones.
That's it. Like their their legs have more
joints. Or no, no, no, no.
So the actually interesting enough, so the back legs no
longer have the little cuffs on them, but the front legs do, but
they're open somewhat. And then the horns, they don't
go back anymore. They just go like straight up.
And then there's like. So this one is not the leader of
the pack. And then there's there's like a
big shoulder plate of spiky bones and then it looks like a
like some like tusks that come out the front on either side,
very intimidating. And and the tail's got a fork in
the back instead of just being a straight triangle.
So All in all or more bones, especially on the shoulders, and
then a spike, a double spike on the tail.
So there you. Go what?
Tell me about its claws. Well, oh their their claws are
red instead of white. They're dipped in Crimson of the
blood of its enemies. It's ripped apart.
Good theory, Corbin, but not quite.
Let me read these povex entries. These both come to us from the
Alola region. OK, The first one says it's red
claws and the tips of its tail are melting from the high
internal temperatures that are painful to hound doom itself.
Yeah, so they're melting. Dang, living is misery.
Yeah, put that on. Dipping is misery, so whatever
kind of yeah, put that on. Flipping is misery.
I feel like that one would sell out pretty quickly.
Add that to the other line though.
What was it cursed with? Consciousness.
Yeah, but I had that feature in our home page of our merch
store. That doesn't exist.
Yeah, and it's already everybody bought them all.
Yeah. So that out.
Yeah. So whatever kind of protection
that it had against the, the, the, the, the boiling toxins in
its body, it clearly isn't strong enough to prevent, to
protect it from the flames when it's mega evolved.
That sucks. That's crazy.
There's one more entry in the Alola region.
It says Hound Doom's entire body generates heat when it Mega
evolves, it's fearsome fiery breaths.
Sorry Breath turns its opponents to ash.
Honestly, I'd like to be Ash Ketchum.
If that's all it took for me to just turn into somebody who's a
lot more successful than sure, I'll let it happen.
I'll deal with the searing paint for the rest of my life.
Well, it doesn't say like it could be any Ash.
Like Ash is like, you know, first of all, now that Ash
Ketchum is champion, there's a lot of people naming their kids
after Ash. There's a lot of an uptick in in
Ash names. A lot of ashy kids, yeah.
For. Sure.
Yeah, nobody's ashing you, Corbin.
That's true. Sorry.
But yeah, so if you want so but OK.
But solid joke, Corbin. I love it, Love it.
It does it. It means like you'll like burn
up and get charred and turn to ash like that, not turn into Ash
Ketchum. Honestly, I would rather have
that than have the searing pain. Yeah, yeah, that is almost that
kind of seems more like a a mercy killing from from hound
him it's far less. Yeah, give me the sweet release
of death. I'd rather be burned up in an
instant than have to, you know, and have the searing pain last.
I mean, if you were to ask me any.
Which I prefer. Yeah, yeah, okay, All right, so
that does it for all the Pokedex entries on Mega Hounduma.
Let's move on to the testing portion today.
Yes, the. Testing push it is time for.
No, no, yes. We are doing the tried and true
the ye old pop. We are.
Oh my gosh, Professor. So I need everybody's notes off
the. Table positive manifestation.
I'm about to break back some old language.
Don't do that. Get take, bring out your Rotom
laptops. Get ready to type in some
answers because we got some good.
Questions My post G decks pull in you.
Didn't say they had to be right answer.
That was implied. All right, so question, are we
all ready? I'm.
Ready. Yes.
Yeah, I'm ready. Question number one, what aspect
of Pound Doom do people associate with the Grim Reaper?
All right, get a notification here.
Both of the answers are in. Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready.
I turned my name. Professor.
I no, I know it it. Comes in automatically it.
Comes in. I actually, I know.
All right, so the first one comes to us from Corbin, it
says. Hey.
It's how I guess. Let me read the question again.
What aspect of how Doom do people associate with the Grim
Reaper? Corbin says.
It's Howl's OW. Ow.
Curtis, Curtis, do it. OK.
Wow. Incredible.
That felt a little bit more Gang Rs, but no.
Sorry, Speaking of Mr. Curtis, he said those spoopy and scoopy
howl that just shivers the Timbers.
Oh our. It was.
It's eerie howls. People associate it with the
grim Reaper for some reason. I've never really been one to
think, oh the grim Reaper howls. Doesn't really seem like a thing
with the. Well, then you haven't
encountered them. I have you, we don't.
Need to talk about that. OK question #2 Hound Doom.
This is a fill in the blank one. OK, Hound Doom's fiery breath
will cause blank to wherever it touches.
Because of blank, there can be more than one like word.
I guess this is like a phrase. Yeah.
Hold on hold. On multiple words per blank.
How dooms? How dooms?
How dooms Blank causes blank do? You know with that, no, no
Houndums fiery breath will cause blank to whoever it touches
because of blank. All right, both of the answers
are in. Once again.
Here we are guys, me and you. Here we are answering again.
I'm reading answers to my quizzes.
Here we are. Okay so the question was Hallen
Dooms fiery breath will cause blank to whoever touches it
because of blank. Corbin says I'll just breed it
and put it in. Hound Dooms, I'm sorry Corbin's
bored, he's yawning. Wow wow, sorry.
Yeah God. Jeez.
OK, I'll just, I'll try to spice that up for you Corbin.
Jeez. Hound Doom's fiery breath will
cause eternal pain to whoever it touches because of toxins.
OK Hound Doom's fiery breath will cause never ending pain to
whoever it touches because of toxins.
Wow, Woo Hoo. Very good.
Yeah, both. Both are exactly correct.
Now that you're toxic, burp burp burp burp.
That's my favorite part. Of that song question #3 How can
you identify the leader of a Hound doom pack and how is this
leader chosen? Wow, these are some complicated
questions that you're giving us this time, Professor.
I love it so though. OK, let's see, you guys took a
long time with that one. Set a strange a little bit.
OK. What was what was the question?
Oh, yeah. How can you identify the leader
of a hound doom pack? And how is this leader chosen?
So Corbin says the one with the most curved horns, and they
fight to determine the leader. All right.
Good, good, good. And Mr. Curtis says those swept
back horns chosen through the most rigorous of the fightings
between them. Of the fightings, That's right.
Of the fightings. Yeah, you guys are doing great.
It's raked, raked back horns and infighting or fighting between
the the pack. Trial by combat.
There you go. Yeah, there it is.
All right, one final question. Which parts of Mega Hound Doom
are actively melting? What's that?
What was that? Well, it's just I thought we
needed some additional like epic background music to the the fact
that like, oh, that there are parts of this this Pokémon that
are actively melting. Actively melting Porsche play
the actively melting music. No need because no, no need
because it's. Final answers are in.
Let's go ahead and see here. The final question was which
parts of Mega Hound Doom are actively melting.
Corbin. Corbin here, let's see what he
says. He says it's insides.
That's why it's claws are so darn red.
Interesting, interesting. And Mr. Curtis says those spoopy
red claws and the end of it's tail are LLLLLL Ting ning ning.
Thank you, Professor. Did I do that right?
Yeah, you hit, you hit it with just the right inflection.
I appreciate that. So yeah, it's specifically the
Pokedex calls out the red claws and the ends of its tail are
melting Corbin so. I thought the inside of it was
was always burning and hurting and that's it.
I was just reflected in the claws.
That's. Well, I mean, yes, but the claws
are the parts that are melting, which was the good question.
So yeah, you get half points for that Corbin.
All right, that's I'll tell you that Claws.
You said claws. That's fair and equitable.
I'll count it very. Spoopy red claws.
And that's going to do it for the pop quiz today.
Good job, Mr. Curtis, you got a 100.
Very. Good.
Thank you professor. I can take no credit for this,
but only your good teaching and your your guidance and your
mentorship. Why?
Are you yelling dog? It's only for you.
Very. Loud Corbin, you got 3.5 out of
four. OK, I'll take it.
So you know, it's not not your best work, but also certainly
not your worst work. Thank you.
All right, so that's going to do it for today's lesson on Hound
Doom. Does anybody know what Pokémon
we're learning about next week? I'll give you a hint.
Water type, right? Yes, OK, well, my hint was going
to be that we're going. Is it Decidui?
OK, nobody wants to hang Porsche.
Play that, play that clap track. Was it what's wait, what's that
clap track? What's the what's the what's the
what's the when somebody like plays clapping audio?
A track of claps, I think. OK Porsche, play that track of
claps. Well, it's right off the time.
Yeah, I think if it's a water type, it's got to be Galicopod
or sorry, Galicopod as people. Say, wow, why did you spit on
the floor and you said that course, sorry.
Let's just start. It up.
No, it's it's not Glitzopod, it's not Decidui.
We are learning. This is actually we, we talked
about the the earlier evolutions of this Pokémon when we were
learning about Canto Pokémon. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kyogre.
No, no, no, category doesn't evolve from anybody.
We are learning about Kendra next week.
Kendra, that's a cool. One, now I don't know if you
guys remember, but when we learned about Horsey and Sidra,
there was some extenuating circumstances we'll say, and we
went on a little field trip. About this, are we going on
another one for? King Drake yes, to hold up the
tradition, we are going on another field trip next week and
you'll learn more about that next week.
Or sorry, I keep saying next week, it's not next week.
Two weeks, I know. Two weeks from now.
Thanks. Ding, I wanted to go on a boat
next. Week thanks to the headmistress
and she's still scared about this AC.
I don't I don't get it. It's doing fine.
The AC is fine right now. It's nice and cool in.
Here, we all make the rules. Don't get mad at us.
Yeah, so two weeks from now, we'll be learning about Kingdra
and we'll be going on a field trip.
Field trip. I'm looking forward to it.
I know Corbin is looking forward to it.
Mr. Curtis, we're gonna have to that.
That was. I'm excited.
It means it means I'll have to leave the classroom though,
right? You are.
We are gonna have to drag you out of the classroom, Mr.
Curtis. Yeah, that's OK, I guess.
