Hello there and welcome to the world of Pokemon.
My name is Professor. Jacob, and welcome to my class
on Pokemon biology joining me here in the classroom today as
he does. Every day is my wonderful
teaching. Assistant, mr.
Curtis say hello to everybody, mr.
Curtis! Oh, thank you, Professor.
Oh, you know what? That is just me.
Take for my ears, the days and nights that I stay sitting in
this classroom re waiting for the next class to start.
I say the same thing every lesson mr.
Curtis it just, it's just become natural to me at this point.
Necessarily mean, it, it's just, you know, it's like I say to the
kickoff the classic, everybody's brains going and in that
thinking mood, it just so happens that I that I say that
you're my wonderful teaching assistant, I don't necessarily
mean it. I mean, every time you say it
it's like unique. Upon my life and I just get to
cherish that. Wow, say what you will about mr.
Curtis, he's poetic that's for sure.
And of course, what is a classroom without a student?
So in our classroom, our student is Corbin.
Say load. Everybody Corbin.
Yo, yo, yo, yes, even if it's one student, it's still
considered a classroom as I've said before.
For the last 45 weeks. It gets kind of lonely being in
here. I would love for another student
to show up one day. We can have some Enter some
class, clowning some fun, some some note passing or something.
But no, no, I know I'm here alone.
No, no passing in my classroom. Not, no, don't worry.
Don't worry about it cause I'm the only one here still.
So it is intense, not really, it's not really because of you
Corbin for the No, No Passing rule, it's just that mr.
Curtis kept sending me love letters.
In the middle of classroom is had to get the edge that just
had to stop to lay. It was even like really a love
letter. It was just like I cherish all
that you do Professor Jake. I think it kind of place.
I could be you and it didn't it didn't sound like he like had a
thing for you. It sounded almost more like how.
Like I would imagine a Pokemon, a carnivorous Pokemon would talk
to its prey, like I said of like almost like he didn't want to be
with you. It's not like he wanted to eat
you or like live in your skin. That's just the vibe that I got
from his. Yeah.
The living in the skin. It's weird that you said because
I felt the same way. I don't think like, Did want to
live and he wanted. I think he wrote down your skin
is so nice. I wish I could have it.
I mean your skin is nice. Yeah that's not very subtle
poetry but yeah I think he probably did say that in one of
the letters. Listen Nick Don if Ike if I
could make like a nice pillow out of your skin for me to like
cuddle at night that we'll just okay.
Alright, don't ever have trouble.
So ya know that we're moving on. Yeah, lesson today.
Let's see what we're here for and that is to talk about
Pokemon biology and does anybody know what Pokemon were Talking
about during this class. All right, I don't think it's
korben korben, doesn't know. Oh, spinner is when I remember,
do you remember? Oh I wish but no, it is another
insect Pokemon though. So I remember which one it's
Ryan. Told you ask me, it is Paris
Paris. That's right.
I mean more commonly pronounced Paris.
You got to get the trill in there, Ross.
So who here who here has seen what Paris looks like?
Um I haven't actually I haven't not see.
Well today is your lucky day because if we don't do this
often, it's classroom but I figured today know what we do it
here. I have with me in this Pokeball
is a Paris. So let's take a look and see
what it looks like. Look at this little.
Look at this little bean baby. That's a cute little.
That's a cute little bug Pokemon.
Let me tell you about that Pokémon.
That's a cute little bug Pokemon.
It looks like it's got two little buns.
I know. Like like it's, you know, like
how the girls were like the buns in their hair or whatever.
That's what it looks like with these cute little too little
buns on its bun-bun odds. Well, the to do but they're
actually mushrooms more specifically.
They They are totes you costume. Mushrooms bless you.
And let me just say that make a, they go great in a mushroom
ravioli, okay? I mean, it's not, you know what?
You may think that? That's a crazy thing to say, mr.
Curtis but it's not because the these torture costume mushrooms
are actually commonly used for bunch of different things while
one, mainly one specific thing which we'll talk about, okay,
when we get to it, but yeah. I've seen the thing about, I've
always found the eyes, very disturbing, I don't like the I
kind of cute. Now, if I put vileplume last
week, it's kind of bordering on cute also / demonic this thing.
It's got cute little big black eyes, and you just kind of want
to hug it a little bit now but it never blinks.
It doesn't have eyelids. Just stares at you constantly.
I do. Yeah.
But and like if you look at it close enough, you can kind of
see that it looks like it's like pleading it's like begging you
to do something. But you can't quite figure out
what it is. It might have something to do
with the fact that those mushrooms on its back are
parasitic and are siphoning away.
Most of them, usually you mean to tell me that's not part of
its body. I mean, it kinda is part of its
by C pairs of interesting Pokemon.
In that, it's consists of two different parts.
Part of it is, you know, the bug part, the little, like, you
know, like bug looking thing with like, you know, the legs
and a little Pinchers and stuff in the teeth.
That's one part. The other part are the mushrooms
which, you know, Finn a bunch of its nutrients and kind of like
drive it to do things, like it's like a part of, so does it hatch
from an egg with those mushrooms on it?
That question will be answered later on in the polka country.
So, let me go ahead and put this Paris away.
I mean, do we want to be one of those?
Guess it's been a while since you've named it.
I want to name it. Yeah.
Hilton Hilton Paris Hilton. Helton the pair Golson.
The Paris. I don't know why it just flows.
It just flows. I love your.
I Of your Paris, Hilton. I normally fight you on your
namings, but this one, this one's good.
I like Dalton the Paris. I love it.
Held in the Peloton. I was good to see you.
See you next Nia next week, when you evolve.
I can't wait to see you. Then you're going to be cuter
than ever, sure. All right, well, let's put Paris
back into the Pokeball. All right, so let's go ahead and
get cracking on these Pokedex entries.
Starting of course, with the Kanto region Burrows to suck.
What does what does Paris Burrows to suck?
Tree roots. Um yeah, okay, yes, it's a tree
root sucker that's from the mushrooms on its back grow by
drawing nutrients from the bug host.
Okay. Yeah.
So it's mainly it eats the the the tree roots is that says main
form. Okay cool.
Got a lot of good fiber in there.
Nice. I mean I gotta wonder what it
actually is because it's kind. It's like just water, right?
It's this mostly water with maybe some of the you know
gubbins from the from the tree, the old dirt, maybe a little bit
of dirt you know. Yes I don't know what makes tree
roots. Especially I don't, I don't know
but so that's his main form of Ants and the mushrooms on spec.
It's the mushrooms on specs their main form of nutrients is
the Paris itself. Gotcha.
Gotcha, yes. Are the next one.
Says it Burrows under the ground to non tree roots and then the
mushroom on its back absorbs, most of the nutrition.
So, yeah, so it doesn't even get most of that nutrition.
It, it goes to the mushrooms. Mostly it just, it really just
leaves the Paris enough to survive and keep going like the
bug part of it. So it doesn't actually show
that. So most of those nutrients are
literally, just just going to feed the parasitic mushrooms.
Okay, pretty much. Yeah, it grows by sucking the
nutrients from the roots of trees, the mushrooms on its back
grow by drawing extract from the bughouse.
All right? So we really kind of have three
eggs, pretty much the exact same Pokedex entries.
Just written slightly different yeah.
One region for Paris. Okay.
But in the Johto region, things get a little bit more.
Interesting. So the First one here it says it
is doused with mushroom spores when it is born like so it
doesn't come out with the spores but it's Dallas on them.
Why by whom It does not say, it doesn't say who does it?
Maybe it is. Can assume the parents, I would
assume that it's the parent, but will come to learn that.
By the time it gets to a pair of sect.
The the pair that the parasite has pretty much taken over
completely. What?
So I would I would imagine that it's the, the shroom on the back
is kind of telling the Paris act parents, put the spores on The
back of this new baby which is kind of sad.
So, it's kind of an endless cycle of these mushrooms.
Just preying on the specific bug type Pokemon.
It's a never-ending cycle of Paris, X giving birth to
paris's, and then infecting it with the spores of the mushroom.
So that it grows, and then turns into another pair of stacked,
and then it feet. And then it just the whole cycle
continues of just feeding off of the life, force of paris's and
parasites. Yeah, that's kind of what we can
assume from from, this entry. The entry goes on to say that as
Yeah, yes, mr. Curse, you have your hand
raised. I want to talk menezes.
You guys keep talking over me. It's okay, but it's all right.
I was gonna say reminds me so much of Bulbul source and I have
to see to their plant being planted on their back when
they're born to your very good, very good.
It was a very long time since we've talked about that.
So remember that was in our first lesson.
If the very first lesson, what a lifetime ago?
Yeah. Let's let's all think back for a
moment and imagine And that first lesson.
So the first Pokemon now write this down the first Pokemon game
is a Bulbasaur. You should know this okay who is
slurping? Who is slurping?
It's definitely Curtis put that put that drink down.
That's it. I'm done.
Sorry I'm done. I'm I write my notes my promise
I swear to God, if you slurp one more time, I've literally, I'm
not gonna slurp one more time. I swear to God.
I'm done. Okay, no, that's it.
That's what you both have. The, I don't know if I can
get that lesson really sucked. I don't know why we decided to
get back. Could think about was yeah, come
in better, your teaching skills. Weren't very good.
Every lesson of yours is the best lesson.
Professor don't say, it's weird because I've taught this class
like five times now. So, that wasn't my first lesson
ever. But, you know, it's, I guess I
was just had nerves that day. It was your first time with the
recording device and doing the whole digital virtual classes.
I guess you were nervous. I get its Fair.
Okay, the entry goes on to say as its body grows mushrooms
Sprout from its back. The next one says as its body
grows large Judge Oriental mushrooms called toku.
Caso start sprouting out of its back.
Okay. See how the I guess that's the
name of these mushrooms. Tote you Caso tôchuken also or
the mushrooms okay. Gotcha yes.
Toto chew. Caso kochu spell.
Also spelled how it sounds okay gotcha.
Okay. And this next one, this Next
Century I find really interesting because I kind of
like You know, shows the power that this mushroom has over over
Paris and says the tote you Caso growing on this Pokemons back
orders it to extract juice from tree trunks, okay?
So like Paris like the bug part of Paris might not even like the
the juice that you the tree trunk grape juice, maybe it's
just something that the touch you kasev.
Like that's what it sounds like yeah it forces the bug to go and
drink from from. From The Roots.
I mean, yeah. Yeah, pretty gruesome.
Really sad to me, it's really sound like the life of a pair of
sucks. Yeah, not not, not a good
Pokémon to want to be. It.
Would it kind of leads in? Yeah, I can see that leads into
what, what, what are you talking about?
It does, the, the, cuckoo, Tha chew mushroom.
Absolutely needs it to do things.
That would make a born lifestyle.
That's what I was trying to say. Okay, cool.
It's a again, it's totes. You Caso de Todo?
Esto pasó to tokomak ah-choo. Gotcha.
Well, you know what clothes that that's all we can ask for with
mr. Curtis, let's go ahead and read
from the Hoenn region. It's the first one here says
Paris has parasitic mushrooms growing on its back called Tokyo
casu, they grow large by drawing.
Nutrients. From this bug, / crash poke
Pokemon hose. I said, I said grash it's grass
we all know it's grass, it goes on to say that they are highly
valued as a medicine for extending life paris's or the
mushrooms of the toe jugaad. The told you Caso, mushrooms,
kochu, Caso yatto, there was a choke.
Oh Jesus? Yes, it's the mushroom part.
It's the mushroom part that's used for for a medicine for a
long life. The next one says, a Paris has
parasitic touch. You costume much.
It's growing on its back, they grow by drawing nutrients from
the host. They are valued as a medicine
for long life. Very, very, very similar.
In fact, the next two in, the Hoenn region are pretty much
ones that we've already heard before.
It's in. Oh, it's very similar to says
mushrooms named Toto cos to grow on its back.
They grow along with the host Paris and then we're how many?
How many Any to Picasso mushrooms can the can they grow
through a lifetime? I mean if you look at any Paris,
looks like the max amount is going to be too but I think if
you take off one, another one will grow in its place.
Ah, is that? Is that a?
Is that confirmed anywhere? No, but we have seen, we have
seen Paris removing its the, the tissue costume from it and then
we'll see that Paris with Note still to on it later on.
So, Okay. I mean it has to get them back
somehow. And again, I have a personally I
don't I haven't spent a lot of time, researching Paris
specifically, but cool. I think we can assume that does.
Let me go ahead and move on to the, to the Aloha region because
this is when it starts coming back and creates new entries and
guys, they must have this must have been like an off day for
them because it gets these just amazing.
Interesting entries, the first one says, no matter how much it
eats the mushrooms growing on its Back steel, way.
Most of the nutrients, it consumes the mushrooms,
mushrooms called to chew Koster Sprout from its back, they can
be dried and powdered to make a medicine used to extend life.
Alright. So kind of the things you've
already heard before, but it kind of like tells us a little
bit more of the process G's extend life by how much?
No. It depends on how many of the
mushrooms you eat, I think. Okay.
Alright. The next one says, whether it's
due to lack of moisture or a lack of nutrients in a Ola, the
mushrooms on Paris, don't grow up quite right, that means
whatever that means. I guess they are kind of like
small or shrivel a lopsided. Yeah, I guess kind of slightly
to the right if you will. Ya will shriveled maybe.
Maybe some, maybe the shaft of the mushrooms a little too
small. Maybe their heads a little
lopsided the head. Yeah, the head I mean it's just
it's just not quite right is all.
We're not quite right? You haven't done enough.
We haven't done enough research. To figure out if that's because
of one, a lack of moisture or to a lack of nutrients, we haven't
done the research to figure that out.
I would hate to be a Paris. Not only do you have a parasitic
Mushroom on top of you? But if you're in a Lola, it's
there's a good chance that your mushroom heads.
Going to look a little funky. This next entry is really the
prized Jewel of all these entries, okay?
So, get ready. Um, the mushroom known as tote,
you Caso are controlling the bug, even if the bug bugs,
Mushroom that they tell it to bug off.
Wait, what? What, I don't I don't know what
the person who wrote this was smoking, but it must have been
good. Let me read it again.
The mushrooms known as tote. You Caso are controlling the
bug, even if the bug bugs, the mushroom, they tell it to bug
off. Hey, get off my back say no, ah,
is that how it goes? The mushrooms are telling it to
but I know that's what I'm saying.
That was the second voice. Oh, shut up.
Okay, that's the Paris and the mushroom.
Okay. So the Paris is telling it.
Hey, get off and then the mushroom On The Backs like know
within the Paris is like okay. Like that's yeah pretty much
that's kind of goes mean everybody knows the the majority
of the mass of any fun, guys. The mycelium growing throughout
the Book of the Paris. Really the mushroom is just a
flowering body. Uh-huh nerd.
Alert geek. I didn't know we had a, we had a
nerd and the concert into their third her.
Hey go listen to your voice money nerd.
I can hear the trashcan nerd. Give me my homework.
Give you a fucking sweater, or whatever the same don't you
gotta get a book to read. Nur don't have a girl.
Not to kiss nerd. Your braces to wear.
Nerves. Don't need some tape to fix your
glasses and your I'll use web with my glasses, but thank you.
Oh, that's really nervy. You don't wear glasses when I
need them. I do.
All right, so that, that wonderful pokedex entry was the
last Regional pokedex entry. We have 11 very, very short
unique pokedex entry that comes to us from at how short is it?
Well, let me read it to you to you.
I'll see how short another says Paris.
The mushroom Pokémon rare mushrooms grow on its back.
Boom, that's it. It's done.
That's that's that's all the information.
Ash get a job, a shouldn't tell us.
Nothing not a damn thing, worthless.
All right, so let me go ahead and that does it for the Pokedex
entries. Let me, let me instead read a
unsourced uncredited article, unless anybody has any surprise
essays. They want to bring forward
today. No, I don't know.
No no no, I know I was I was worried that somebody might, you
know, try to go above and beyond but silly me, I guess what
Curtis already done. Last week's.
He's not gonna do it again this week.
Yeah, I mean, it's asking a lot. He said, he said he spent all
week writing that. I mean.
IDK expecting sure that every single time, that's ridiculous.
Yeah. You gotta give him a little bit
of. Okay, give me a break.
Yeah, refractory period. If you will.
All right. This this and this one source
under credit article, says, Paris is an orange insectoid
Pokémon. Its ovoid body is segmented.
Added. And it has three pairs of legs
of the foremost pair of legs, is the largest and has sharp claws.
The tips, there are five specs on its forehead and three teeth
on either side of its mouth. It has circularize with large,
pseudo pupils, okay? I don't, I don't really know
what that means. You do pupil, it's me makes it
to me. It makes it sound like those
aren't its actual pupils and they're like fake, fake pupils.
So I guess so I think that's what they're implying, but I've
seen paris's pupils move before, so I'm pretty sure they're real.
I'm yeah. Or maybe they're just like
really, really good. Pseudo people's, they fooled you
okay. It goes on to say that red and
yellow mushrooms and as Tokyo Caso grow on this Pokemon smack,
the mushroom can be removed at any time and grow from spores
that are doubts, on this Pokemons, back at Birth by the
mushrooms on its mother's back. Back again, we don't know if
that's true or not, that's not in any of the pokers.
I was gonna say that's out there.
So according to that, there's other sports, just sitting there
on its back, waiting for the other mushrooms to die.
And if they die they form a mushroom.
I guess I'm not entirely sure as as mr.
Curtis says that the the mushroom part is really only the
flowering part in the majority of it is the when you say my
Celia that grows inside like it just eats pretty much.
So the majority of the mushroom itself is inside Paris, not an
actual flower part. Yeah, I would, I would guess I
would go. Okay, all right, that's fine.
Um, told you cos to are parasitic in nature, drawing
their nutrients from the host paris's body, in order to grow
and exerting some Commander. The Pokemons actions, for
example, Paris. Drains nutrients from tree,
roots, do two commands from the mushrooms.
Mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal
uses usually involving extended life and also apparently a great
soup. According to mr.
Curtis Ravioli. I'm sorry, I'm not sure.
Anybody else ravioli that way. Do you make like the ravioli
pasta or do you like stuff, the mushroom heads with some kind of
stuffing now, use the mushrooms to make the stuffing for the
ravioli, noodles, like that goes in the ravioli.
I just want to make sure I understood how he's how this
ravioli was getting made. Yeah.
Okay the next one's it goes on to say that Paris can often be
found in caves. However, it can also Of in damp
forests and yellow region, the mushrooms on its back, do not
grow. Well, this is thought to be from
a lack of moisture or nutrients, and that does it for this
unsourced uncredited article and it doesn't for the all the
information that we have on parents.
Okay. All right.
Yeah, so I, you know, in my personal opinion I think it's
time to test your knowledge and see what you have Gaba.
Again ready? Go ahead.
God I've been In taking notes, Professor just like I do
everything you do that every week.
I know you think you'd eventually be prepared for I
guess every time it's a pleasant surprise.
Yeah. All right.
So let's go. Hey, go ahead and put away.
Our notes are Pokedex has our pens and pencils.
Anything that might, you know, Assist you in this instead,
bring out your Rotom laptops. Wait, no.
Did I say put away your pens and pencils?
Yep. You said put them away already.
Did it? You can't bring it back out now.
Fair to be fair. You don't, you don't need them
for this one. This one.
You're not gonna eat any good. We perform.
Yeah, put it, put them all away. Let's get ready for this quiz.
Pop it. All right, let's pop it up, run,
get some Christian. Hey, professor, I wanna know.
Don't don't make this weird. Damn, he makes it weird every
time. Don't stop.
Stop rearing back in your chair and close your eyes.
Listen, I had a student. Listen, I had a student once do
that, and they fell backwards and they broke their skull
completely. Oh my God.
God said no one who. Yeah, don't want to.
Yeah, yeah. Alright heard that part of me.
Question number one, where does Paris get a majority of its
nutrients? That's easy breezy.
Beautiful cover pairs. All right.
So Corbin responded with from tree roots, and mr.
Curtis responded with Paris, gets the majority of its
nutrients by sucking the roots of trees.
Yes. Now at that was, that was a
pretty easy one. I'm gonna say this right now,
most of these answers, Going to be is almost a whole lot of
information about this little guy.
Yeah, I feel like there can be a, I feel like they could go
into a lot more depth in the no interactions between the Paris
and the Tokyo costume mushrooms on its back.
But you know, whatever we work from what we have.
And what we have is even if the bug bugs, the mushroom, they
tell us about gu great. Excellent.
Excellent research, very scientifically.
Well, that's good. Dad.
I love that. That I read mr.
Carson answer. Yes, yes.
Okay, cool. Yeah, do you guys both got it
right. The next one says, what is the
name of the mushroom growing on paris's back?
And what can it be used for? We also just fucking said it.
I mean I said it about 5,000 times during his lessons, so,
jeez. I wonder what it is.
Was all right. I have to make these quizzes
every single week. It's not easy.
Hey, we appreciate the work you put in, but step it up, it's not
easy. Especially when half of the
Pokedex entry say, as its body grows.
So, do the mushrooms. So, how many times can the
Pokedex entry? Say, the same thing, like, you
are a cute guy. Could tell you.
How many times I can say the same thing.
You can say it. One, two, three, every time,
every single time for every single entry, great, great job,
great job, professors, you're really nailing it out of the
park. These researchers man.
I'll tell you what they need. I know you think, you think they
could have right? One, like, it always is two or
three sentences. That's all we need of, you know,
like novel interesting information to put into their
regions Pokédex but they can't, they can't even do that coffee.
Everyone else's work. The only one who does it
consistently? Well, is Professor Birch over in
the Hoenn region. He's only one who consistently.
Like, just just bring is just an absolute Banger of a pokedex
entry, almost every single total collapse for Burke's.
They're a fine man. A great Professor.
If you will and of course Professor Oak is that like the
well he's the God creator. He is the Of the crop.
Exactly. So pretty much everybody's
repeating what he wrote already, okay, both of the answers are.
And the question was, of course, what is the name of the mushroom
on growing on paris's back and what can it be used for Corbin
responded with toe Juke? Ah, so it can be used for
medicinal purposes, including extending life.
And mr. Curtis responded with the
mushroom growing on its back, is called the tote.
You Caso. They are used as medicine to
extend life. Also make great mushroom
ravioli. So yes the answer was it was toe
to Caso tochi, cos 0, t 0. So I had I had to chew at first
I originally have a written down his tote, you Caso, but I swear
later on like halfway through the lesson, you were saying tow
Jew Caso. I just do you like CH okay, I
had see, I'm not joking. I had I'm dead.
Serious had CH written at first sight.
He's the Jay, I apologize. Well, seeing as this isn't a
spelling class. I'll give you the points for
that one. Thank God because I feel like
I've given mr. Curtis credit for.
Yeah. You have you, spelled it out is
because you are a wise and forgiving teacher and and guide
in this way and yeah and there's definitely no ass-kissing
involve a lot of it. All right, question number
three. When does Paris first get its
Parasitic mushrooms both of the answers are in.
So let me go ahead and read Corbin's.
He said, it gets them at Birth and was the curse responded with
the Paris. Just covered in the spores at
Birth. These has spores grow into
mushrooms as the Paris grazes. Yes.
Yes, that's exactly correct. They get the mushroom spores at
births, doused on them from something, probably as mother or
father parent or whatever doesn't It doesn't say it
doesn't say but I mean we can probably assume all right.
So you guys look at credit for that one.
Great job isn't this last question is actually an essay
question. Oh, for these are a little bit
more in-depth questions looking for like a like an essay answer
here a long, a long form answer. And now, we don't know the exact
answer this. I just want to see what you guys
are thinking. What because, like, I feel like
these folks increase kind of leave a lot to be desired.
So I'm going to go, I'm going to ask you this question and you
just think about it and just give me a coherent answer if you
will. The question is, what would
happen if a Paris, never got the tote you Kazu, spores All right,
I have both of the essays in Corbin responded with if a Paris
never received the spores, it would have the potential to be
the most powerful bug type Pokemon in existence and its
title 10. I said, one of the most I said,
well, I'm sorry what? Okay.
She's all right, the parasitic mushrooms, give it a grass
typing, without the mushrooms, it would just be a bug or a
ground bug-type due to its ground-dwelling, behaviors
Paris, and Paris sect are wait. Is a sect, you said, Anne's, not
very tall, building arm and let's say, our excuse me.
Fine are not very powerful Pokémon and because the
mushrooms are absorbing most of the nutrients, Paris is powers
are affected including its strength and speed.
If it were free of the parasite, Paris would live a happy life as
a bug or bug ground-type Pokémon capable of dealing incredible
damage. Using its extreme speeds defeat
enemies would also prey on smaller Pokémon as opposed to
tree roots, which is, which is mushroom food.
Food, it's true. Yeah, how how, how naive of an
answer cord? Wow.
Okay. I thought it was a good answer,
like so you're saying you're saying that, the mushroom that
the sport is doing us a favor. It's for its preventing us from
the horrible power. I don't know about that.
It's doing us a favor necessarily.
I definitely I feel bad for the Paris and the Paris attacks.
I do too. I definitely feel bad because
it's not reaching its full potential.
I really do believe that if it didn't have the parasite on it,
I think it'd be a really, really powerful.
One capable of dealing an insane amount of damage because that's
poor. The spores on its back are
taking up the nutrients which are affecting its speed its
strength. Yeah, I mean like I don't know.
Talk about it looks like it takes a majority of the
nutrients, right? He's been torturing me for, what
a receipts goes directly to the, the, the picture costume.
Listen, I got a little bit of research and, you know, as a
trainer trying to learn about it.
We don't talk about this class much but like Pokemon statistics
and their abilities and stuff like that.
Okay. Yeah, I've done a little bit of
research as an aspiring. C'Mon trainer and in Paris and
Paris sect specifically aren't very strong Pokemon.
They don't have the best stats. So I think that's mostly because
of the mushroom. I think the mushrooms are
sucking the power's out of this thing and it's a parasitic
relationship constantly telling Paris suck the tree.
Roots. Okay, now have babies and then
spread the spores back on your babies and it's a constant
cycle, would love to see a Paris without the mushrooms living its
life doing its thing. Eating other small Pokemon and
eating whatever Once okay, yes, I agree.
I think is very, very astute answer Corbin.
Let's move on to read mr. Curtis has and see.
No boy. See what kind of slop.
He's provided for us today. That's a good way to describe
it. Slop Professor, I have to see
where he says Mr. Mr, Carr is answer.
Is at first glance, it would seem that the spores that invade
paris's body are not beneficial in any way.
So you could be forgiven for thinking that they would be
better off without At them, but you would be dead wrong in all
caps, you see. Well, the spores that invade
Paris is my don't necessarily provide a biological benefit.
They provide a vital and more ethical function, a more of a
vital, vital moral and ethical function, okay?
Without the constant, moral guidance, keeping the wild
rebellious nature of the Paris and check, they would be a
danger, not only to themselves but the very delicate Natural
Balance of the Pokemon world. See Paris has long passed
developed some my symbiotically with these spores and as a
Spore, is grew to impact paris's judgment Paris in return
developed a more radical and strong-willed personality to
compensate. If you suddenly take that sport
out of the equation, the resulting rebellious nature of a
would drive them to commit. Unintentional suicide by
accident by accidental, death from Denise's, radicalness.
So the weight, they're killing themselves because they think
that they're radical, what does that even mean?
Well it's it's I'm not he's not done yet, okay.
Yeah, which includes but is not limited to taking a fully-grown
ride on at level 1 or taking a quick swim in a pool of Slugma
leavings. Jesus Christ.
So I think what he's saying is that he didn't, he did kind of
say this, he says that it's providing a vital moral and
ethical function. It's kind of like, you know, you
have that little voice in your head.
The tells you not to do stuff, right?
Like, you'll like, liking you ever, like, have, like, scissors
in your hand? You've been like, I bet I could
cut directly through my pointer finger, but then there's that
voice in your head that says wait, wait, no, don't do that.
He's saying that that's what the tow truck.
Okay, mushroom is for Parish church.
I thought. Curtis was at first was trying
to say the opposite of what I was saying.
I was saying that Paris and parasites have the potential to
be a great Pokémon but the mushroom is detrimental to it,
holding it back. I first I thought curse was
saying no No, the measure the mushroom is an evolutionary
thing used to to kind of Nerf the abilities of the Paris and
Paris X. So it doesn't go wild and kill
everyone. But that's not the case.
Basically Paris gets in over his head and thinks it's more
powerful than it is. So it tries the tangle with
something like a ride on or like a, like, a whole pot of Slugma
and that's, we always right. It's kind of like a moral
compass for it kind. Will kind of the only reason
that it's doing that is because so to enact any of its own will
All right, a Paris has to have an extremely strong, you know,
like force of will, of course, it will end like that kind of
like natural instinct to actually do things because
because of how much commands the the mushroom has, if you take
the mushroom you take the tote you cause you out of the
equation. All of a sudden there's nothing
limiting that and it's going to go crazy single wild, it's going
to like as Curtis said attack a fully-grown ride on or write
even a pool of lava It doesn't, there's no voice, there's no
consciousness inside of. It said like if you like the
equivalent of me like not having the the forethought to not go
pee out in the public Pond or something like that.
Like I wouldn't do that probably because wait, you wouldn't you
wouldn't not go out and pee in the public eye and I would maybe
during the okay. So I have the forethought to not
do that during the day. A Paris would do it.
You know, just wildly peeing on everyone.
Probably, if you didn't have the mushrooms that's what you're
saying. It's kind of that sentence.
The whole moral compass. Dilemma Nothing is Stopping it
from doing whatever it wants, okay?
Okay, I think. Hey guys, I think that was those
are some great answers. Bonus, third one that I just
thought of what if, what if Paris is in Paris X long ago
were ravaging entire communities and civilizations and then
scientists developed a genetically modified mushroom to
stifle it. It's the only way to stop it.
So it attached itself in a symbiotic relationship or more
parasitic relationship to the paris's.
That's what. Well what nerfed it's about mr.
Curtis mr. Curtis is suggesting a symbiotic
relationship. Mr. Curse is just like semiotic.
I think it's definitely parasitic meets in the fucking
name well, to be honest. Okay.
According to mr. Chris's answer.
It didn't start off as somebody that I can start off as
parasitic and then it kind of became more and more symbiotic
as it goes on. But hey, as it keeps, the Paris
from Cake, could be, it could be scrubbed from the records, but
it could also be a human-made Corbin.
I find, I find that Answer terrifying that it suggests that
it's a genetically human-made mushroom to to stop Paris and
parasite from destroying the planet.
Because if they were do that to a Paris, then what's to stop
them from doing it to, you know, a human that's starting to get
in their way. All right.
I don't like it. I don't like that answer.
I don't, honestly, I don't think we need to be putting that idea
into people's heads, really out into the universe at all.
All right. All right.
But your first answer was great and so is yours was I cursed you
guys are both getting full marks.
Thank you think discussion regarding the nature of Paris
and it's parasitic relationship relationship with its total cost
to mushroom. I think that is a wonderful
place to end this lesson. So if you folks at home, had a
dope, I always forget. This, does anybody know what
Pokemon were talking about? Next time?
Duh, Paris act. We've only been talking about it
all lesson. That's right, we haven't talked
about Paris that we were talking about Paris for well, the
evolved form Paris act. Yes, it's Sect.
I know this, okay, I brought it up in my own essay, be stupid.
If I didn't know God what you think I'm an idiot.
I am keeping my mouth closed. I have not saying anything I
need this job. I cannot I cannot insult us to
thank you, thank you. But yes, we're learning about
Paris act which is of course, the evolved form of Paris but
that does it for today's lesson. If you have any questions for
