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, tell me, how
flawless was that intro? That was so good, professor.
Thank you. That was an and, and let me just
say your you're setting such a great example for all of the
other professors in this school. They can't compete.
They can't. Yeah, I listen to other
professors that have a different intro for every single lesson.
And I'm like, guys, you're working too hard.
Yeah, just just have one thing that you say every single time.
And honestly, the people love it.
I'm sure all the students out there, all our all our virtual
students are. Millions of students.
They're all like saying it out loud with me when I when I.
Oh yeah, they're cheering it on. Yeah, they're they're crying
with excitement. Anytime introduce one of you
guys interrupts, they they lose their minds.
They're like he's saying the thing.
How dare you interrupt? No, right?
Sacrilege, right? Yeah.
But also joining us here today is our young trainer and
training Corbin. He's been talking a lot already
so. So I'm young, I'm fresh, I'm
fire, I'm ready to go, ready to dive in, ready to get inspired,
ready to learn more about Pokémon so that I can finally
get my first Pokémon next week. I think we said around less than
210 is when the we get. One Who's we?
Me. Who's we?
Is that, is that what we said that's?
Not what we. Said yeah, I think we said
either two O 9 or 210 Week 2, 9 or 210.
Do we? Remember that Professor I?
Didn't write it down anywhere. You could get me a paper trail,
Corbett. But it was, it was.
It was off the record, it was. Offline document.
You said it. You said it in passing in the
hallway. I think a couple weeks ago you
were like, hey, 210, you're going to get one.
Corbin. Sweet.
No, that was that was a an assignment.
You're going to get an assignment at 2:10.
That you assigned to me at 2:10 PM Oh, crap.
Yeah, that. Makes sense. 210 you get 1 that
was actually a brick through your that was actually the brick
that was gonna throw through your window.
You're gonna get 1 is a brick. Please don't assault me.
I. Didn't I assaulted the window?
You weren't. You weren't there at the time.
You were still at school. Yeah, well, that's good.
Well, I mean, you scared Gordon. He told me about it.
OK, OK, all right, guys. Listen, I know we're all super
eager to learn about Pokémon because, you know, that's why
we're all here. That's the name of the game, but
I do have a me. Professor.
Yes, yes. You have a question, Mr. Curtis.
No, no, I'm just saying I'm really excited to learn about
Pokémon. Are you sure you don't have a
question? How do you get your hair to look
like that, professor? It is nice.
Do you blow dry it every day? Can you give us a rundown of
your your hair routine, Professor all?
Right, it does look great. So I wake up in the morning and
I immediately take a shower. OK, Jump in the shower
immediately. Ice cold.
Like, like I, I filter it
through ice to get it as cold as possible.
And then I, you know, wash my body, you know, it's all that
stuff. And then hair is still dry at
this point. Yeah, hair has not gotten wet.
And then for. And then I just like, you know,
for a second, I just dip it in there just like, just for a
second. Yeah.
Just just for like maybe half a second honestly.
OK, OK. And then shampoo immediately
after shampoo conditioner, leave it in OK.
For how long? All day.
Oh yeah, I don't. And then, and then I'm out of
the shower and I'm on my way to school.
Yeah. And then you just leave the
conditioner in your hair. You don't rinse it out.
Yeah. Shampoo and conditioner stay in
here. Oh, OK, so so that's why it
looks like what it does, because it's full of shampoo and
conditioner right now. Yeah, it's very sudsy, right?
Very sudsy, OK, A lot of volume. So do you wash that when you get
home at night? Do you take another shower?
No, no, no. And then so that's what that's
what the half a second in the water is at the like the next
shower. Oh, 'cause getting getting the
shampoo and conditioner out. So.
Basically what you're telling me is that you constantly have
shampoo and conditioner in your hair at all times and.
It looks great. It looks great.
I need to take notes. You weren't taking notes, Blue.
Hair. Well, I no, no.
Don't worry, I've got a stack here.
I've got a stack here. Here.
Corbin, you can have a copy of this one right here.
Cool. Yeah.
All right, good. All right.
Cool, I'll I'll be sure to keep this in mind to keep my hair.
We can all try that and see how it works for us.
All right, everybody. All the students at home, try
the Professor Jacob method and send us a picture of how your
hair looks after a week. Actually, don't let us do that.
Let. Us know how it goes after we're
asking for we're. Asking for personal photos now
of you guys no. No, no, I don't want to see your
face, just your hair. I do.
I want to see your face. No, don't.
No, they can't ask you to do anything.
Only I, the professor, can ask you guys.
To do things, yeah, OK. All right, Speaking of Gengar
males, I have one here that I would like to read.
This one comes to us from Parker and they say, yo, what's good,
my dudes? What's up?
What's up, Corbin, Professor Jacob and Mr. Curtis or Curtis?
They spell your name in different ways.
Thank you. I guess there was someone to
clarify who the dudes who the dudes were.
Right, in case you guys listening didn't pay attention
to during the intro. Sorry, Gordon is not included in
that. Sorry.
Well, yeah, Gordon's not a dude. Lex is not a dude.
Mr. Mime. I can't remember his name.
His actual name? Donnie J.
That's right, of course.
Donnie J. How?
Could you forget Donnie J name? I don't think about him
frequently. Corbin.
Also, Donnie J is not in the classroom.
I know, but neither is Gordon. That's true.
But anyway, so we're the dudes,
right? Yeah, Parker says.
I have come once again, but without an essay, but with art,
artwork and a question. Who would win?
Archaeus and the Lake Spirits or Giratina and the Time Gods now?
So let's say, let's say with a question first.
Yeah, what are they competing in?
Yeah. Is it arm wrestling?
Is it karaoke? What are we talking?
About yeah, yeah. Is it like a foot race?
Is it a foot wrestling contest? Like what do we?
Yeah, a leg wrestling contest, right Where they Well, if that's
the case, let's assume it's a leg wrestling contest.
I think is the. OK, well, Guerotina has more
feet, yeah. Guerotina has more legs.
Depending on the version, yes. Yes.
Exactly, now when they say Guerotina and the time gods, do
they mean Dialga and Palchia? Yes, cuz I think Dialga is the
only one that's time isn't Palchia.
Is the only time God Palchia is the space?
God. Space God.
Yeah, that is true. Man, somebody needs to retake
this course, Parker. Are there other well?
Could Celebi be considered a time God?
Oh. That's a good point.
Celebi is the time. Yeah, Celebi.
I don't think is Celebi a time is not a God though, it's just a
legendary. What do you mean?
Yeah, Celebi is a Mystic. A Mystic legend's about it.
OK, OK. Yeah, I mean, it seems pretty
powerful. I consider that a God.
I mean, honestly, if we're talking about gods, there's only
only one true God. Hi, welcome to my religion Ted
Talk. And it's, it's our.
It's our. It's.
Our more more. Monotheist here.
Yeah, I don't know if we're doing a leg wrestling contest, I
think Garrotina is gonna win cuz that boy's got a lot of legs.
That's true. That's true.
That put that on AT shirt. That boys got a lot.
Boys got a lot of legs. Are you guys disagreeing with
me? Do you have any anything you
want to add? Yeah, if it's a leg wrestling I.
Think, I think you guys are are counting the the lake, the lake
spirits out a little bit though, I mean you think?
So if they have very small legs, if you can even call them,
they're. Very tiny legs.
OK, well, maybe without with a leg wrestling competition, you
know, Yeah, they have pretty small legs, but like, they're
pretty tenacious, I guess. I guess is what I'm trying to
say. So what What?
What kind of competition do you think the lake spirits and
Archaeus would be? Guillotine and the Time God.
I don't know. That's good.
That's a good question, yeah. He can't even think of 1.
Can't. Even think of one.
I mean, I don't know creation. Decorating contest.
Maybe. Yeah, Yeah.
That's good. Creation Arceus created the
universe. So I mean, he could create the
best universe right? I think Archaeus and the lake
spirits would win that one maybe.
And and I'm pretty sure the lake spirits are the ones that like
calm and control Dialga and Palkia right?
Isn't that what they do? So like they basically would
cancel out the time gods period. I'm not really well versed in
the Sino lore personally. Yeah, the time gods don't matter
if you're going up if doing leg wrestling Gueratina.
Clears. Yes, well so so I guess what I'm
trying to say is you have Arceus and the three lake spirits on
one side and like Uxy takes out Palkia, Mesprit takes out
Dialga, then you have Azelf and Arceus to fight Guerre Tina.
OK, so now they're fighting. They're two on one, right?
Now we're fighting. And I think, I think Azelf solos
Guerre Tina on their own. I'm just I think.
So I mean guerre Tina's like evil personified so.
I think they need the power of all three of the lake spirits to
take out the the, the quote UN quote time gods.
So Paki and Dialga, I think it's all three of them together is
what controls them. What about a cooking
conversation? Listen, my what?
About a kissing contest, I think Who kisses the best?
Who kiss Kissability? Kissability.
Right.
Who would win in a kissing contest?
I still think Garritina clears. Really, Garritina even have a
mouth? Oh yeah, is that?
I like the way that he said that.
I don't know, RCS seems like they would be very very good to
give it a nice little cheek kiss.
Out of this Out of the seven Pokémon in question here, which
one would you like to kiss more? I.
Mean let. Us know in the comments on
Spotify gun. Please, yeah, let us know.
Yeah, yeah, definitely. Palkia is where I'm was what I'm
going for. Is that, is that what you're
when you're going for professor? Yeah, that that makes a lot of
sense. Yeah.
How about you, Corbin? What would kiss?
Yeah, out of the seven, one of the lake spirits, yeah.
That's weird, yeah. What?
No.
Judges Judgment.
Free zone? I don't.
Like that. And then we did not say that,
Corbin. I don't know.
I don't know where you're going with that one.
That's pretty. Weird, I would say.
I think the lake spirits would be very kind and sweet.
OK, which one though? The blue one.
As ELF. Yes.
I got you. I understand Curtis, only the
night mother. OK, say the Night Mother doesn't
exist. No blasphemy for this.
For this one hypothetical situation, the Night Mother
doesn't exist. And you you actually between
Archaeus, the lake spirits, Dialga, Palchia and or
Guerritina. Who?
You kiss them.
Either form guerritina. Well, you didn't say that I
might change my answer. The dark form Guerritina.
OK, dark form. Oh wait, dark form.
Yeah, isn't that what the the. There's origin form.
Or is it origin form? Yeah, that's the colloquialism
we use. OK.
My apologies. Yeah.
Now I will say origin form does not have a mouth.
Yeah, I know. I'm disappointed.
It just got like a hard spiky thing.
Exactly. We don't like kissing those.
Those aren't. That's not fun.
No, I think that's great. Do you think so?
Great, his curse is kissing origin form Guillotina.
Guillotina, hey. Let's not have a lesson.
Let's just let's just talk about kissing legendaries.
Oh Dang, that's right, we have more of the S more more of the
ginger male. To read where?
Was I OK? You knew.
Parker's sitting at home like guys.
Just read my what have I done? What have I created?
OK, so Parker's Ganger Male goes on to say.
Now for my artwork, 1 masterpiece for each of you.
First up is Corbin's name spelled in unknown and
handprint. An unknown and a handprint.
It's a Mr. Mime handprint in Corbin.
Hey, that's not OK. That's not my hand.
So, so here. So yeah.
Are you looking at the picture of Corbin?
I'm looking it now. I just took it off your desk.
Yes, I see it. I like that my name is spelled,
however I don't have a hand that looks like that.
Also, where's my thumb? You kind of do though.
I don't, I don't have a Mr. Mind there's.
A thumb there, it's just really big.
Yeah, Plus you miss Curtis. No, I, I.
Think that's pretty good. I apologize.
Yes. I'd speak to me.
I got. This pretty good.
I think I got next and then Professor Jacob, a picture of
Lex and a tux. That's very good.
Yeah, I, yeah, I love his little, I love his little leg
there, but he's got going on. Yeah, I mean, it's a beefy leg,
I will say. It looks like 2 toes.
I mean pretty pretty true to form, though Lex does have a
pretty beefy leg. True, he does.
And then Lex, does leg lifts say that three times fast.
Lex does legs lifts. Lex Legs does.
Leg lifts. Legs Lex, Lex, Lex.
Lex does leg lifts and then for Minister Curtis a trophy for of
the first letters of how to spell his name.
Thank you. Yes.
And let's see here, yeah, there's AKAC and AQ, so covering
all bases. That's his whole name right
there. It's good spelled out.
Anyway, thanks for reading this and have a good day from the
Polytode man Parker thank. You Parker park it up.
I may, I may have to get a trophy like that and then we
could put that on on AT shirt on professor, Professor Jacob's
desk because he deserves all the trophies.
OK, but what is the trophy for? Like it's just, it's so we, it's
a trophy that you know, has the first 3 letters of your name,
but like, what is it? It's just the biggest waste of
space. It's the pro, the the Mr. Curtis
or Minister Curtis trophy of excellence, and it's just a
acknowledgement of, you know, whoever's the excellence.
In general. Yeah, just being cool, I guess.
Well, Parker, you will be getting a Gold Star for this.
We're or sorry, not Gold Star. Maybe, maybe, I don't know.
That's up to Mr. Curtis. But you're getting extra credit
for sending in the artwork. Mr. Curtis, what do you think
about the Gold Star? I have to give, I have to give
Parker a a Gold Star for this one.
Great job. Yes, you do.
You do have to. OK, let's move on.
I think we've danced around it enough.
Does anybody know what Pokémon we're learning about this week?
It's a big one, right? It is.
I mean, physically, yes, it is large.
Tyranitar. Nope, not Tyranitar Bigger.
Is it situated professor? OK, smaller.
It's not just that. You.
Why? I heard that, Mister Curtis.
I'm sorry. What did you say?
Corbin I. Said Steelix.
Yes, yes, I just blocked it out 'cause I couldn't believe that
you got it right. We are learning about Steelix.
Steelix is the evolved form of an Onyx.
And to that note, I do not have an Onyx or I do not have a
Steelix to show you guys. Oh, that sucks.
Well, what's the point of this lesson?
Well, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, whoa, whoa.
I'm just being honest. The point of this lesson is to
learn, OK? Sometimes we look at pictures,
see it. Sometimes we look at pictures
and yeah, I think some stuff. Picture of it, but I have
something better than that actually.
Is it a video? I may not have a Steelix if you
have better than a video Corbin. Oh my gosh, it's a podcast.
I've never really liked podcasts, never understood them.
Me neither. Anyways, gosh, I need to.
I need to see something, right? Yeah.
Anybody who likes podcasts is weird.
Yep, great. Agreed.
OK, cool. What was I saying?
Oh, yeah. So it's better than all of that,
Corbin. I actually have.
We have. So you guys all know that the
geology professor here at the GCLCBFTSCLC is in fact an Onyx.
Right, of course. Yeah.
Super old, yeah.
Yeah, and we all know that his name is like.
Professor Pebble. Yeah, absolutely, Professor
Pebble. Yes, yeah, I I care for his you
guys. Spell it Pebble.
I thought it was Poobel. I thought on his, his front, his
the front of his classroom, it said Poobel.
That was. That was 2O's.
No, it's an O and an E. Yeah, it's, but it's pronounced
Pebble, but it's spelled Pooh. Poobel, Professor.
Puebel. It's a It's a Sinoian
pronunciation. That's right.
OK. Yeah.
Pebble. Anyways, so.
So here's the thing. Professor Pebble has been an
excellent professor here at the GCLCBOTSCLC for a very long
time, and you'll be interested to find out that he is 99 years
old. Wow, that's an old part.
Very old, and as we'll learn about steelixes in these
lessons, what steelacys is that steel eye?
Steel eye. Steel.
ISIS. Steelix.
Is that when they turn when an Onyx turns 100 years old?
Yeah. It turns into a Steelix
provided. Everything else is really.
See now the head wink. And Dink, see, now the
headmistress was planning for Professor Preble's birthday and
I, you know, didn't. I couldn't understand why they
were making such a big deal about it, but this makes a lot
more sense. So there's a big.
Coming of age. There's a big festival happening
in the courtyard right now, so let's all go outside.
We're going to take a look. I think it's like, you know,
here, it's the next couple minutes, so we better hurry up.
Better get out. Come on, Mr. Chris, grab the
recording device. OK, Grab it.
Grab it. Will Corbin shut the door?
OK, you got it. All right.
And we're going to make it. Shut the door.
I did shut it. OK.
Are you? I'm making my way downstairs.
I'm done with this. Going downstairs into the
basement. What do you mean?
No, no, no, that's not. The in the course.
No go this. Way.
All right, let me come back upstairs tonight.
Never. Seen.
The classroom was like right by the exit.
How? Do you?
I've never seen this part of the school before.
Like, can we go back upstairs, please?
Yeah. No, no, come.
On it's creepy, all right, and we're outside.
Oh, there's everybody. Oh my gosh, there's wow look.
That's a part. There's everyone, right?
There's a lot of people. There's Professor Pebble.
So we all know what a Steelix looks like.
There's the headmistress over there.
OK, yeah, don't just chew it on someone's leg.
That's not good. Go.
OK, Spit that out. Gog.
Start.
You cut it out. And there's there's Terry the
Poly toad, who's in charge of irrigation.
Yeah, right. And.
No even even even Rosalynn is here.
Rosalynn. Well, she's here in case
somebody gets hurt. Good.
Yeah, yeah, this is. Him.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, and there's Larry the
Landscaper. Of course.
I we don't see, we don't see Larry very often.
Larry. I kind of forgot about Larry.
And then and Harry. Harry the Harry, his tangle
apprentice. Oh, that's my auntie.
That's. Right.
He knows these people so well. Oh, and Jerry's with them. 2
Jerry Jerry the Blossom we've. Got previously Bloom landscaping
quartet here. My gosh.
Terry, Larry, Harry and Jerry. OK, All right, All right.
So here there's there's Pebble, Mr. Professor Pebble out there.
Oh, I think it's starting to happen.
I think it's starting to happen. Oh, he's glowing.
He's Oh my God, it looks painful.
Actually, it looks like he's he's screaming.
Oh gosh. Oh.
That's horrible. Are we supposed to be enjoying
this? I don't know, maybe don't look
Corbin. Oh, wait, no, it's calming down.
It's calming down. Professor Family, you're so big.
I mean, you were big before, but like, you're big now.
Do you look so crazy cool? Professor, professor, Professor
Pebble. I'm a big fan and.
You never need to. That's why I said I'm a fan.
You can not meet people and be a fan, OK.
You just learned about them today.
Well, OK, listen, I'm already a fan.
Look at that. It's a Steelix.
Is that hard not to be a fan? Look how cool that Pokémon is.
Is it? It is pretty cool Corbin if you
could describe. It for us.
I will describe it. Everybody gather around.
I'm describing Professor Pebble for the virtual students at
home. Thank you.
Very much no, Rosalynn. You finished working on that
person's leg. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Roslyn you need to focus.
Don't got in pretty deep there. You might want to patch that up.
So it's it's kind of like an Onyx, except right now it's
steel and kind of like this silver glistening color.
Also, it's head huge mad underbite.
It's got these red fierce eyes with a little bit of black
eyeliner towards the bottom. Spikes on the side.
Gnarly teeth and also it's like every other segmented part of
its body similar to it's similar to Onyx, but it has like these
giant little like spikes coming out of every other segment of
its body. Also its tails more pointed at
the tip and it's a lot bigger than Onyx.
It's it's. Much, much bigger.
We're going to have to increase Professor Pebbles classroom
size. It's say.
Professor Pebble, do us a dig. Do us a dig, Professor.
He's. Going.
For it, look at him always going to school.
OK, now he's right under. It's OK, nevermind.
That's fine, because you would be complicit in that, Mister
Curtis, you understand if the school just was destroyed?
Yeah. You would have been responsible
for destroying the school. Yeah, let go.
No, I I mean, I, you know who's going to point fingers We.
Would have had to relocate somewhere else and had more
misadventures, huh? I know we don't listen.
We can't do that until at least we make it to the Johto Pokedex
entries. Right, exactly.
People don't like that. They like when we just sit in
the classroom. Yeah, Speaking of which, all
right, I think, I think we've seen all we need to see.
Everybody's starting to to scatter now.
Anyways, let's head back to the classroom.
Wait, was that Gordon? What was Gordon doing here?
Wait, what? Do you see Gordon?
Oh, he's, he's gone. What an experience that was.
Corbin no, don't go upstairs, we're on the 1st floor.
Oh, sorry, I. Turned around, not that drawn.
Sorry. All right, here we go.
All right. Did you lock the door, Corbin?
I can't. I is.
This door locked, Liz. How hard did you do?
You close this door? Corbin Tees.
Here, I'm gonna, I'm gonna kick it.
There you go, that's all. Right, it's open.
Man, I've been crazy if we got locked out of the class huh
that. Would have sucked, wouldn't?
That been a fun thing to have happen all right, everybody take
your seats. We got it.
We we've dilly dally for far too long.
We have a lesson that we need to do all.
Right, let's dive in. Let's roll out.
Let's dive in like Professor Pebble did to the dirt.
Yeah, maybe. Wow.
He's he hasn't come back yet. He still has a class to teach.
You know what? It's his birthday.
He should take the day off. Yeah, right.
And he can cry if he wants to. Yeah, he can leave his students
behind. That's right.
OK, anyways, so starting to read the Pokedex entries here with
the JoJo region. The first entry says it's body
has been compressed deep underground.
As a result, it's even harder than a diamond.
Just a shine for. Those of you like a diamond
though? For those of you who don't know,
diamonds are very hard, right? Yeah.
Just in case you weren't sure, I.
Mean it was pretty shiny like a diamond outside I'll say that
yeah I mean I. Was I was saying it was shiny
like steel? Right.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah. But it wasn't a shiny.
It wasn't a shiny, was it? Like Professor Pebbles?
Not a shiny Pokémon, right? No, no.
OK, OK. Yeah, shiny like a shiny Steelix
I think is like gold. I think so, yeah.
Which honestly, not as good as steel, right?
No. A lot more malleable, a lot
heavier. Softer steelix sounds better
than gold. Goldix Anyways, OK, so back to
SO. OK.
Just keep in mind body being compressed underground, right?
Right. That that's part of the
equation, part of the equation. The next entry here says it is
said that if an Onyx lives for over 100 years, it's composition
changes to become diamond like. Just in the hardness though.
I mean, no, I think, I think like I think that's the
evolution that they're talking about right there.
I think, I think the Onyx, I mean we just saw it Corbin,
right? So living for 100 years means
Onyx is now Steelix. Right.
And now it's like a diamond. It's hard as a diamond.
But it looks like steel well. It's also it's composition
changes like a diamond too. Yeah, I guess so, Yeah.
So how we don't call it diamond decks?
I don't because it doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
You're right. You're right, yeah.
Maybe we'll discover another evolution that's called Diamond
decks, I don't know. All right, the next Pokedex
entry says the many small metal particles that cover this
Pokémon's body reflect bright light well.
Yes, very shiny, yeah. Much like a diamond.
Yes, very much so. All right, moving on to the
Hoenn region. The first entry, and I think the
only entry here, says if Stelix lives even further underground
than Onyx, this Pokémon is known to dig towards the Earth's core.
There are records of this Pokémon reaching a depth of over
6/10 of a mile underground. Whoa, that's about 7/10 of a
mile. That's a lot, yeah.
It's about 1 kilometer I think. Yeah, yeah.
Not. Quite.
But yeah, it's about, yeah, that's pretty deep.
That's pretty deep. And the fact that I wonder is if
there's a reason why it digs towards the Earth's core.
Is it like doing that intentionally or is it just the
lower it gets the more tasty the minerals are?
Maybe it likes to be compressed and and hardened and just shiny.
Pressure underground. Maybe it likes the pressure.
Yeah, it's like a massage. Sometimes people thrive under
pressure. I'm not one of those.
Yeah, it digs underground just to feel something.
True, Mr. Curtis, sounds like you were trying to say
something. Were you?
Did you wanna? Chime in.
Yeah, no, I was just, I, I don't, I was going to say
something, but I was totally distracted by you, professor,
and I don't remember what I was going to say now.
I know his hair does look great today.
It does look. Great every day I.
Mean we talked, we talked about this.
Slick and. Fill conditioner and shampoo at
all and. Sudsy, slick and sudsy.
Put that on AT shirt. That's right, with the
professor's face on it, smiling. Slick and sudsy.
Slick and sudsy moving on to the center region, the first.
There's a couple of entries here, actually.
The first one says tempered underground, under high pressure
and heat, its body is harder than any metal.
Okay, so we got the hardest substance on the planet here,
apparently. Well I mean, I think diamond is
diamond is already harder than most metals.
I don't know if it's harder than every metal.
Not the hardest, there are some Pokémon that have some pretty
hard shells like we talked. About really, they don't like to
open up, so right. Yeah.
Wait, which do you think is harder, a fortress or a Steelix?
Probably a Steelix, right I. Would guess a Steelix, although
I mean. Cloister.
Cloister with their shell closed.
How do we, gosh, how do we normally test how hard a Pokémon
shell is? I mean I I got.
What does we? Normally, do he?
No, we don't need to. Yeah.
Oh yeah, if we get Professor Pebble back up here, I could
shoot him with the the bazooka. He won't fit in this classroom.
Yeah. Oh, I'm.
Sure, I'm sure Professor Kurz could snipe him from the window.
Yeah, we get we get him from the window.
Let's see if he comes back before the end of the class.
Maybe we'll we'll take a I'll take a shot at him and just.
Shoot an RPG at somebody without asking.
Well. True.
They are pretty tough though. I'm sure Professor Pebble
wouldn't mind. Well, I guess we'll cross that
bridge when we get to it. Maybe it'll happen before the
end of the lesson, I don't know. OK, the next entry says it chews
its way through boulders with its sturdy jaws.
It's eyes can see in the darkness underground.
I imagine then that that means that the sunlight is very bright
to it. Might need to get some some
blackout curtains for. What?
I just don't know what you would be looking at underground
really. It's just kind of all dirt,
right? So.
Like what if you run into something that isn't dirt?
Yeah, you could dig into another cavern or something like that.
Then you need to see. Yeah, Mr. Curtis.
Yeah, you think about that, idiot.
Yeah, you think about that. What if you get to the core?
What are you gonna do with that? An idiot.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Thank you. Well, when when you're right,
you're right. That's right.
That's what I always say, and I'm right.
The next entry says it's it is thought that it's body
transformed as a result of the iron accumulating internally
from swallowing soil. Very iron rich diet that the
source. Has right?
Yeah. So after 100 years of eating.
Iron. Yeah, straight iron.
It turned into steel. So am I going to, am I going to
evolve into something cool for if I eat microplastids for 100
years or how's that going to work?
Yeah, I guess you'll turn into plastics.
Plastic man Plastic. You truly Professor Pebble is
truly is what they eat so. What if I they?
Are that's true? So what if I continue my trend
of it's my record of eating ravioli every single day?
If I eat ravioli for 100 years, am I going to turn into like a
ravioli man? It's it sounds likely.
It sounds like your turn to a big old ravioli.
But it has to be only ravioli every day for 100 years.
That's a. That's a commitment.
That's a. That's a.
Commitment. Yeah, that's right.
That's that's the word I'm looking for.
I mean, it's worth it though. I mean, I guess if you try this
ravioli here at the JoJo region. Oh, it's so good.
It's so good. But but I guess the the, you
know, the good thing about ravioli is you could have all
sorts of different types of ravioli.
So like you could put vegetables and ravioli and meat and
ravioli. What?
Yeah. And so you can put.
More than just cheese and ravioli.
And cheese. And ravioli.
Big day professor. I know guys.
I have to go no, no. No, I'll finish.
We had in class early I'll. Finish.
All right. Well, we'll, we'll just pick up
next lesson. Goodbye everybody.
Finally, we can finally say welcome back to lessen whatever
lesson this is. That's right, you finally got
what you wanted, Mr. Curtis, that's right.
No, I'll I'll see it through. So that does it for all of the
Sino Pokedex entries. I do have an entry here from
Unova, which is exciting yes, you know everybody's favorite
region, the iron, the iron it ingested with the soil.
Oh my God, that's that's weird run.
It back, professor? Yeah, I'll.
Write it back. The iron it ingested with the
soil it swallowed transformed its body and made it harder than
diamonds. I feel as though that sentence
maybe could have used the comma or something.
Yeah. That was a wild one.
Who wrote? That.
Unova Juniper. Is it Juniper?
Sycamore. I think it's Sycamore.
Sycamore Callos Juniper. Yeah, it is Professor Juniper.
How dare you question me, Corbin?
Well, professor, I don't know. I'm just a boy.
Yeah, Corbin in the corner. How dare you?
No, it's fair. It's fair.
I wouldn't trust me on that matter either.
I I don't remember names very well.
Don't. Don't you say that, professor.
You're the best among us. Yeah, it took you like 100
lessons to learn. My name was Corbin.
Yeah, yeah, it's Corbin. What did you say, Crabo?
I haven't been saying Corbin this whole time.
No, not Corbin with AV, Corbin with AB.
What? About Corbin.
Nope, Nope, Nope. OK.
All right. Let's see here.
I don't believe there are any new entries from the Alola
region or the Callos region. There is.
I don't think there's anything from the Gala region either.
However, there's a there is a Histui Pokedex entry.
OK, histu it up. It says this Pokémon evolves
through the use of a strange item was what I guess I think
what's. The item.
Wait. So hold on, hold on.
I'm going to read the rest of this and then maybe you guys can
guess. It's body is coated with steel
powder. Coated with steel powder and
notably hard. Not even diamond can leave so
much as a scratch that so was this professor.
They just have diamonds on hand to test this.
Maybe it might be loaded? Maybe.
I mean, I'm starting to think that his SUI professor is loaded
was loaded at the very least. We need to get some of their
funding grants to see what they're where they're applying
I. Wonder what the like grant or
the money request was. I need a diamond.
I need a diamond to. Scratch Pokémon to.
See if we can scratch Stelix with it.
Trust me, I won't sell it. I won't use it for personal
usage. That's right.
All right, so that does it for the.
Well, actually, hold on. I believe that there is
something from the lentil region.
There is, yes. It's not a very good entry, but
I'm going to read it anyways. This Alumina Pokémon lives deep
beneath the ground on lentils. I don't know what an Alumina
Pokémon is. Do Not Ask Me lives deep beneath
the ground on Lentil's most remote island.
We can tell from the nearby ruins that this that this
Steelix used to interact with the people of the time.
So this very Steelix. This very steel.
This is a very specific one. Yeah, this is we're we're
talking about this Steelix in particular.
But that does tell us something about the lifespan of Steelix
PSI steel, steel, steel, steel. So we know that they can at
least live for 100 years, right? I assume more, but this is a
Stelix that used to interact with people at the time.
And it we can tell that from nearby ruins.
So that's like got to be at least be another 100 years.
So like the lifetime of a of a Stelix, maybe We're talking
about two centuries here. Oh, it's an old boy.
Poor girl. Yeah, these these Pokémon have
very long lives. Oh man, not like a cutie fly
all. Right, so let's move on to so
that's that's it for the regional Pokedex entries.
Let's move on to the unique Pokedex entries.
The first entry says Stelix, the Iron Snake Pokémon.
Stelix is the evolved form of Onyx.
It has been compressed underground, making its body
harder than diamonds. That came for us to us from
ashes Pokedex. I don't know if I said that.
All right, so the next two Pokedex entries.
Yes. Come to us from dawn.
Yes, she's putting the Pokémon so nice.
She logged it twice. She's always going above and
beyond. Honestly.
That's my girl, you know? Yeah, Beyond Dicks.
Beyond beyond Dicks. Is that a joke?
Question, is that a joke? Wait, is that a joke?
It was an attempt at one that was.
Very funny. I thought it was pretty funny.
Thank you. So the first entry says Steelix,
the Iron Snake Pokémon strengthened by the pressure
pressure and intense heat of living underground.
Its body is stronger than steel. Stronger than that, honey.
It's stronger than diamonds, too.
Yeah, I mean, listen, she's not wrong.
She never is. The next entry, very similar,
says Steelix, the Iron Snake Pokémon and the evolved form of
Onyx. OK, I added something there.
Snex's body is much harder than any steel as it is tempered
under under high pressure and heat.
Any metal harder than any metal. Any metal on the planet.
And also Diamond. And also Diamond.
That's right. The next entry comes to us from
random Rotom Pokedex. I don't know who owns this
pokedex. OK Steelix, the iron snake
Pokémon, a steel and ground type.
Heat from deep underground strengthens its hide, and the
pressure gives its body a toughness harder than steel.
Some would say harder than diamond too.
I mean, it's not wrong. It's not.
Diamond is harder than steel, therefore it is.
Therefore it tracks. That it does, it does track.
So yeah, so it's interesting how it breaks it up.
It's as the heat from deep underground strengthens its hide
and the pressure gives its body a toughness harder than metal
that I feel like that's kind of saying that they do the same
thing. Maybe, maybe the heat gets it a
certain, you know, percentage of the way and then the pressure is
that last key item. That is what puts it over the
edge, makes it harder than diamonds.
Yeah, it's definitely a mixture of both.
Yeah, but I feel like with just the pressure alone, I'm not sure
that it would work. It needs the heat too.
Well, it needs, yeah, it needs the heat or kind of like keep it
in place. Or or, you know, it just needs
to turn 100 years old like Professor Prash.
Yeah, yeah, or just turns 100 years old.
Yeah, that's the easy way. Or it just needs to eat enough
iron. That's.
The long game. That's the long game, yeah.
I do also. I do have a Pokedex entry here
from Professor Neroli. Oh, OK, linguini.
There it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Professor Stromboli. Professor Ravioli Stromboli.
Don't spaghetti mention ravioli? Oh, my tummy's already rumbling.
Oh, Professor. Lasagna.
Let's see what he's got. So he says even when Stelix is
nodding off and looks ready to topple over, it's somehow keeps
its huge body upright. Researchers observed it for an
entire night, but it held out with superb balance and didn't
topple over even once. So I guess it just kind of just
sleeps. Safe I got to learn that from
the I got to learn that from professor Pebble.
See if they can teach me that because what you know, if I get
dozy, I just kind of just kind of.
Oh wow, there he goes. There.
He goes, yeah. Wow, you hit the ground hard.
That was Yikes. Yeah, I think you, I think some
of your, some of your items fell out of your pocket there, Mr.
Curtis. Yes, yeah.
But I'll, I'll scoop them up here though.
Don't don't worry about professor.
Please go go. Yeah, which please read them out
as you're putting them back. Into Yeah, here's my extra
notebooks and a spare set of batteries and some car jumper
cables. You have a car.
And wait, you have a car? Why?
Well, no, I don't. I just, I just have them just in
case somebody needs a jump, you know?
Yeah, and and somebody else has a car nearby.
Right, right. Or an electric type Pokémon.
You know, you could, you could hook these these jumper cables
right onto the cheeks of a Pikachu or something like that.
Yeah, Pikachu is safe. Yep.
And, and I've got a spare microphone for the recording
device here and first aid kit and I've got here.
Oh, this. This is a little bag of spinner
rack Cherokee. And hey, toss that this way.
Yeah, here you go. It's not ravioli trash.
You need it. You're gonna have no.
Took care of that. Okay, I'm gonna sit back down
now, Professor. Wow.
All right, All right. You finished.
That was only like half of the things, but you finished putting
that in. Yeah.
I'll put I'll put it back up later.
I'll. Keep doing what I'm doing All
right, so that does it for all of the Pokedex entries on
Stelix. Before I before we move on to
the testing portion though, I do want to mention one last thing.
Stelix does have a mega evolution doesn't have a mega
form. Now we there are no Pokedex
entries that talk about it at all.
So we don't really all that's lame.
All that we know about it is what it looks like.
So Corbin here, here's a drawing of it, if you could describe it
for us. That is one of the coolest
things I've ever seen. I think this is, yeah, I think
this is the coolest thing I've ever seen ever.
So it looks similar to how a Steelix normally is.
However, the the big spikes coming out of the sides of it
are now kind of like a rainbow color.
Also in between some of the segmented portions, there's like
a glowing blue little, you know, Pentagon little hexagon.
Yeah, like a hexagon in between each of the segments.
So it's like you have the glowing blue, you know, hexagon
and then you have another bigger segment with the the colorful
spikes and you have another hexagon.
Then you have more spikes. And then it has like these
floating shards kind of around its neck.
And then also it's its head is a lot more shovel like.
There's like these giant 3 spikes coming out of each side
of its chin. And it has a lot more of like a
segmented, sharper head used for digging it looks.
Yeah, used for digging your grave because it's going.
To absolutely. Destroy this.
Guy digs. Hey guys, this guy digs.
Yeah, this guy digs. Yeah, but yeah.
So yes, I would love to know more about a mega Stelix, but
unfortunately we don't have any Pokedex entries on it.
Hey, maybe, man, maybe an essay on mega steel looks would have
been really good to have you guys do today.
Yeah, is. That what we're.
Doing no. Next time though, we have a mega
evolution that doesn't have any Pokedex entries.
I will take that into consideration.
You'll. Remember, I'm sure.
I will. I will absolutely remember.
Come on. OK, listen, I've been trying to.
I've been toying with the idea of having you guys write Pokedex
entries for a while now. Yeah.
Because, you know, I'm not going to write them.
So maybe have my students write them.
Yeah. Change the world with our
Pokedex entries. Yeah.
All right, so let's go ahead and move on to the testing portion.
Everybody, go ahead, put away your Pokedexes, bring out your
Rotom laptops, because it is time for a pop quiz.
Everybody. Nobody ever expects the pop
quiz, but here it is. Pop quiz gonna put oh wait my
rotom laptop pull out my pokedex for that pop quiz he's.
So excited. I love it when he gets this
excited. Yeah.
All right. Is everybody ready?
I'm ready, yes. OK, starting off with question
number one, what material does the Pokedex say Stelix's body is
harder than All righty then. All right, get up and getting
the notification on my computer here.
You both submitted your answers. OK, All right, so let's see what
Corbin has to say. Corbin.
Yes. You feeling good with this
answer? Feeling good?
You sure? Yep.
All right, Corbin. So the question was, what
material does the Pokedex say? Stelix's body is harder than
Corbin said Diamond. Yeah.
Mm hmm. There's no exclamation point
here, so Corbin is not sure. And then Mr. Curtis says its
skin is hardister than the diamond.
Harvester, huh? Hardester, yeah, I get.
I get what he's trying to say. Yes, you guys are both correct.
It is harder than diamonds. I would have also accepted any
medal. If you said any medal, I would
have also accepted that 'cause that is technically what's.
The difference? What's the difference?
All right, question #2 how long does it take for an Onyx to
reach this diamond like composition?
All righty then, looks like we got both of the answers.
Corbin, would you like to read your answer out loud?
I would love to read my answer out loud, OK?
Do you want to read the question out loud too?
Yeah, what's the question again? Read out loud.
How long does it take for an Onyx to reach this diamond like
composition? My answer is it's 100 years.
Yes, Corbin said. 100 years. Now, Mr. Curtis, I would like
for you to read your answer. Yes, of course that would be one
O hundo years O it takes to get so Hardy.
See, This is why I wanted him to do it because I know I knew I
was not going to do it right. Also, I do want to note that
it's 1-0 dash hundo years dash. I mean, but no, I mean that's.
That, but can you tell what number that is?
Though, I mean, it's kind of misleading.
I don't know what number that is.
You didn't just spell it out, so I don't know if that's right.
But that that that's a one O hundo years dash O again.
Yeah, that, that last O, that's an O The second one, like the
first zero there, that's a zero. Like they're definitely
different. It's, I don't know, it's just
something that just sounds like he's wrong.
Oh. No, no, he's getting the points.
He's right. It's 100 years.
OK, Yeah, that's fine. OK, so let's move on to question
#3 what three things does the Pokedex say 'cause Stelix's hard
composition? All right, once again, it looks
like everybody's ready. Let's go ahead and read Coral
Corbin. I'll read yours this time.
OK, sounds good, right? Take take a seat, take a seat.
I'll read it all. Right.
I'm sad, I'm sad, I'm sad. What?
So the question was what three things does the Pokedex say
'cause Stelix's hard composition, Corbin says heat
compression and depth in the earth.
All right, all right, let's see, let's see let's see what Mr.
Curtis says. Mr. Curtis says ingested all
that iron bits in the soil, that deep, deep compression under the
ground O and the heat from that said deep down underground.
So yeah, those those are the three I'm looking for.
Heat pressure, although it's a curse, didn't technically say
pressure, but I guess the deep, deep compression underground is
kind of the same thing. So I'll give it to you for that.
And then also the iron accumulated from eating the
soil. So Corbin, you did unfortunately
miss one there. I did.
I was. Forgetting something?
That's OK. That's hey, the the point is
that you tried, all right, That's right.
It's really, it's the thought that counts.
I think it is. That's why I have to tell
myself. Not for the grade though,
because you are losing points. All right.
Question #4 how deep underground has a Stelix been recorded
digging? All right, the final question
was how deep underground has a stelix been recorded digging?
It looks like both of my students have submitted answers.
So Corbin says 6/10 of a mile, 6/10 of a mile.
That's right. All right.
Pretty good. Mr. Curtis says they go so deep.
Spelled wrong over 6/10 of a mile.
Deep down. We have seen them underground.
Yes, yes. 6/10 of a mile. Very good, Both of you.
I'm I'm impressed. I'm impressed that you
remembered that number. I'm I'm sure you too.
He's gonna he's gonna ask us that for sure.
We well. It is I I take exact dictations
of your every word, professor, so OK.
Well, but you shouldn't be using those during your time, right?
That's cheating, no? I'm not it's not an open retake
the whole. Course again.
Yeah, from the top like a drop back to Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur has a seat on its back that it uses to call back host
host parties in. You know I would not have a
problem with that Professor. I love your class and I'll take
it for the time all. Right.
Well, OK, you know what? Maybe we won't go with that
nuclear option quite yet. All right?
You guys did very, very well. Corbin's the only one that
missed any points here. But that's OK, you know,
because, you know, not everything is about grades.
I mean, this class is all about grades.
I should, I should say, if you don't, if you don't get at least
AB in the class, you do fail and have to start all over.
Oh, Lord. So, yeah, keep that in mind,
Corbin. But that's going to do it for
today's lesson on Steelix. That's it.
Woo. Pretty good, pretty
accomplished, I think. Wrap it up, folks.
Yeah. Does anybody know what Pokémon
we're going to be learning about next week?
Is it Deciduite Professor? It's not deciduite.
Did you say Onyx Corbin? I said Diamond X.
Oh, Diamond X No, we're not learning about diamond Dicks
this time. Is it a baby Pokémon?
I mean, I think it's kind of like a little baby.
It's like, it's like a little baby.
It's a Nikita. Rowlett No.
Nikita, little baby Nikita. No, no, I will say it's a fairy
type Pokémon. Which is the newest?
Sylveon thing. No, it's not Sylveon.
We've kind of already learned about all the evolutions that
the Johto region has to offer. When does Sylveon come to play?
Soon, soon. Is it a cutie?
Fly a couple weeks. That's a fairy I was going.
To go ahead and say we're a little bit.
Like a Soku baby fairy baby fairy.
That is, I mean, he's right. He's right.
With all the information that I've given you, that cutie fly
would be a prime. I'm so excited I've got some
cutie flies I can bring some cutie flies in for.
Delicious. I would love to munch on those.
Can you Can you make sure they're BBQ roasted?
OK, yeah. Can they make sure they're BBQ
roasted? I can yes, but I will bring some
alive ones for class next week as well.
Oh yeah, that's true. That's true.
But you. Say next week, yeah, no, we're
not learning about, we are not learning about cutie fly.
So who's it? Again, we're not.
No, we are learning about Snubble, who is not only a Fairy
type but is also categorized as the Fairy Pokémon.
The OG fairy Pokémon, yeah. Yeah.
So I believe if Mr. Curtis has, you know, done my request, we
will be having a lesson at the Rigby's house.
Oh. That's right.
I see we. Will be going back to the
daycare so is that? Is everything set up for that,
Mister Curtis? Yes, I did schedule the the main
hall area at the Rigsby's, so. Rigby's Rigby's Frazier, Eleanor
and Harold, I think Rigby. Yep, that's correct.
Yeah. So that should be a lot of fun.
I'm looking to it very much, looking forward to it very much.
Is the sentence there all right? So I think that's going to do it
for today's class. If you have any questions for
me, well, good news, you can contact me by sending a Gengar
mail to wwopokemon@gmail.com. And there's so many other ways
that you can get in contact with us and so many other ways that
you can hear us say words and do things.
Isn't that right? Yes, Oh my gosh.
If there's anywhere to say words and do things, it's on our
Patreon. There's so much stuff there,
guys, it's insane. Too much stuff even.
Someone say there's too much stuff there, yeah.
We're thinking about locking some of that in a vault.
We're talking about, we're thinking about it.
We're thinking about it. We're talking about it.
And we're also thinking and
talking. We're talking about it.
And we're also gonna probably raise the price because I feel
like we're, you know, you guys are just getting too much good
stuff. Oh no.
No, no. These are all jokes.
These are all. So and you'll be grandfathered
in, you know, if you if you just subscribe now, so.
Geez, this is there's some toxic marketing here.
I mean. Guys, we gotta hit our we gotta
hit our next Patreon goal of $500 a month.
We're gonna do a watch party together, right, Will?
Never happen, right? Will never happen.
It will never happen. Never.
That's okay. Don't worry, we can say we can
say anything because it will never happen.
It will never happen. I will create a whole rap song
too. Wow.
I'm not committing to that. All right, No, you said it.
It's on the lesson. Yeah, Nope.
Nope. So excited but the Patreon.
It'll never happen anyway, so the.
Patreon isn't the only place to hear other stuff from us.
We also have a YouTube channel that we've been putting a lot of
effort in. Mr. Curtis, what's going on
there? Well, you can see the uploaded
episodes of our Nuzak playthrough 2 weeks behind
though I mean if you want to see them in real time, you got to
got to be on the Patreon. You can also we've also been
doing some streaming on there some streaming of of some
different content. We just.
Games, I mean, it is really only one game that we've been
streaming. Well, I mean, as of the time of
this recording, who knows, maybe there's some more streaming
that's been going. On Oh, you're right.
Oh man, I guess, I mean, but we are recording it today.
Oh man, maybe I'm. Wrong, yeah, but yeah, so go
definitely check out our YouTube.
There's also some shorts, some funny clips from our nose lock
that Porsche has been working on.
And let me just say, crisp, crisp.
Portia just showed us one of the clips before class today and it
was right. It was very good, very saucy,
very good stuff. Very funny, great for sharing
with friends. Saucy, much like a ravioli,
which I'm going to go eat after this lesson.
That's not so good, professor. Professor you you seem like
you're pretty hungry, Professor. I'm I'm a little bit Packish, I
won't lie, but that's going to do it for today.
So until next time class is this mess.
