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 this shiny
new classroom is, of course, my wonderful teaching assistant.
What were you going to say? I was going to say spanking new,
but I don't know. I don't know, Professor.
It's not like a naughty word. Of course.
Of course, it's both. It's it's spanking new and it's
shiny. So they do professor, write on
both accounts. Double gold, Double gold stars
to you today. I feel like rolls off the tongue
a little bit better. But yeah.
So Mr. Curtis is here today in the classroom.
Say hello. Yeah, thank you.
Thank you. Yes, the professor gets 2 gold
stars, double, double, right Today.
I guess I'll just add it to my pile of gold stars.
I don't know what to do with these Dang things.
There you go. You can cash them out at the
Curtis store. I'd like one.
I mean, you could hand me down. Hand me one of those gold.
You know, Corbin, I would very much love to hear more about the
Curtis store. Yeah, yeah.
I mean if you, you know, if you bring in 20 gold stars, you can
get like a little sticky hand. That's not That's a lot of gold.
That's a lot of gold stars for a sticky.
Yeah, well, I mean, if you only have 5 gold stars, you can get a
lollipop if you want. I mean or.
I don't even have one. Well, I mean, I don't.
I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, you gotta try harder.
You gotta do. You gotta do better.
One Gold Star. I'm not asking a lot, and that
young student who needs to try harder is of course our young
trainer and training Corbin. If you could please say hello,
Corbin. Oh, hello.
OK, great. Now let's get back to the Curtis
talking about the different prizes at his at his shop.
Yeah, 11 Gold Star will get you a sticker of a star.
So that's wait wait, hold on. Are the gold stars that you hand
out? Are those not stickers?
I mean they're they're like gold foil sticker stars, but like, if
you you could swap it out for like a nice cartoonish looking
star. Why would you do a picture of
it? Why would you have a picture of
the star when you could just have the star?
What's nicely stylized, You know, it's it gives you
something a little bit different.
That's like saying, hey, do you want this pile of cash or do you
want a picture of a pile of cash?
I mean, hey, you don't have to trade it.
You can save up for five and get that lollipop, you know, I'm
just saying. Or 20 for 20 for the sticky
hand. Where can I go to?
Of us. I think we're getting off track
a little bit. I do want to know what is the
biggest, what is like the biggest ticket item that you
have? The biggest ticket item if you
if you get 2,000,365 gold stars. You have.
One of my reject spin rack eggs. I don't think anybody would.
So is it gonna like, actually hatch a spinner act or is it
just? But if it does hatch one, it
definitely will not be one of my super spinner acts.
It will be like a like a yeah, like a little baby regular
spinner act. Or like maybe a slightly
zombified one or something. Or might be missing a leg or you
know. Have a little bit of a a twitch
to it but you know it's it's a it's it's a spinner rack from
from the great clutch of Mr. Curtis.
So wow. So yeah, you heard that.
Everybody save up your gold stars.
You need what? Two 2,000,365?
Right. Give or take, Give or take, Give
or take. He doesn't count them.
Listen. If anybody ever gets close to
that, I'll put it on the board I.
Just like one that at some point, honestly, well, you know
what you got to do, you. Have to earn it.
I think I earn it every day. Well, it's not whether it's it's
not about whether you think you earn, it's about whether Mr.
Curtis thinks you've earned it. Bingo.
Thank you, Professor. That's right.
As always, you know what? Another Gold Star for you. 3
gold stars for the professor today.
My way this way. Pass one to me, I'm open.
I know, 2-2 more and you get a lollipop.
Would love one. Well, I can see Corbin's very
eager, so I think we should really get this lesson going.
I do have a couple of Gengar males here that I would like to
read, if that's OK with everybody.
Please, please. I'll permit it.
Thank you.
Well, thank you. All right.
So the first one comes to us from a virtual student named
Malcolm. That's very short.
Hi Malcolm, my name is Malcolm, so got that out of the way.
And I have listened to all the lessons, so you see.
That in this one I got you there.
Wait, did you ask if you'd missed one?
No, I said. Have you listened to really all
of them? How about this one?
Well, I mean, they are currently listening to this one.
How do you know that? What if they're not?
Because they're hearing my voice right now.
That tracks That tracks Okay. Here's your timeline.
They are currently listening to it. 4th Course Gold Star for
you, Professor. So what the?
What's the Curtis? Please help me.
Help me out. So they go on to say Corbin.
You might want to be nice to this person because they go on
to say I have sent Corbin his first Pokémon, a Geod.
Oh, I like a Geo dude. Did you maybe get?
Did you get one delivered to you according?
Geo dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know actually nothing about it that did.
There wasn't that came in the mail.
My mom said don't open it until tomorrow.
I was she said it's a surprise there was a note on there.
I said OK, I don't know why you wait till tomorrow.
So I've just given to me now. So I waited till the next day,
which was happened to be this morning.
And it was a big rock and it was a Geo dude.
So wow. Professor, Professor I.
We may need to confiscate that. I mean, you know.
It was wonderful. It didn't really move a whole
lot though. Yeah.
You know, at first I thought it was a rock.
And I was like, no, it's a Geo dude sleeping, right?
And then I took its pulse and I think I felt something.
So yeah, it's just sleeping. He's just the Geo dude sleeping
in a box. It was delivered.
So thanks Malcolm. Appreciate that.
Yeah. Malcolm's Gmail continues on
with Don't Read This. But it's just a rock, huh,
Malcolm? Don't you?
Ever. Tell me what to do.
Don't you ever tell me what to do, Malcolm.
I will do exactly what I want. I knew something was up.
The box would move. Neither with the ROT, right?
Right. Supposed to move.
If it's Geo dude, you know Corman, all rocks can turn into
Geo dudes. So if you hold onto that rock
for long enough, it might become a Geo dude.
Oh, is that? Is that for real?
I don't remember learning that. I don't know.
Malcolm's e-mail finishes with Can you go to JoJo, please?
Well, it's your lucky day, Malcolm, because you will not
guess where we are right now. You know where we are?
We're in the Goldenrod City Learning Center branch of the
Saffron City Learning Center. Yes, the GCLC BOTS CLC, of
course. How could I forget?
Yeah, there's no. Way you could it says it on the
outside of the building. I have it tattooed on my arm.
I'm kidding. You do what?
Professor, I'm kidding. I.
Didn't. How did you get another tattoo?
Not tell me I have to match all of your tattoos.
What? You have tattoos, professor?
I don't have any tattoos actually, so I don't know what
tattoos he's talking about. That's right.
Well, once you get one, I'm going to get a matching 1,
whatever it is. Wait, Mr. Carters, are you just
gonna get a tattoo of the Professor's skin on your body?
Cuz that's weird. Well, no, no, I'm just gonna get
a one to one exact recreation on my body to.
His What if I get one that says Spinner acts suck you?
Gonna get that. Get that on your.
I'm gonna do it, I'll do it, but I'll put quotations around it
and then underneath it I'll put a line and say Professor Jacob
said this. Well then it wouldn't be the
exact tattoo that I have. I mean, that's a shame.
That's a real. Shame I can't defame.
The spinner acts, though. Looks like I called your bluff.
No defamy. What?
Wait, what did you say? What else does Malcolm say?
That's it for Malcolm's Gengar mail.
So thank you so much, Malcolm. I don't think there's any extra
credit work in there. But Mr. Curtis, do you think he
deserves a Gold Star? I I I'd say so yeah.
I mean now if they if they had sent a a real Geo dude then then
then no cuz of course that's against train your policy cuz.
No, it's my We went through 151. That's my right.
I get to my right, my right as a boy.
You haven't. You haven't been through them
all. You have not been through them.
All well, I've been through enough.
I've been through too much. Some would say that is true, but
unfortunately. And some other would say not
enough. Yeah, you've been through too
much, but also not enough. The road to becoming a Pokémon
trader is long and arduous. Well, we're calling back to the
MU lesson. I am innocent, but I have
suffered. I'll put it on tshirt.
All right. So yeah, go ahead and add that
Gold Star to your collection, Malcolm.
You'll need it if you ever want to get one of Mr. Curtis's
spinnerack eggs. I have another ganggar male
here. This one comes to us from
Lillian. Lillian Ganggar, male, says Hey,
this is Lillian. I'm a big fan of your podcast,
which is weird because we do a lesson series.
Yeah, but that's weird, Lillian. Come on now.
I can understand the confusion, cuz we do have it on a lot of
places where podcasts are generally, you know, distributed
like Spot A Flag On and Flapple Podcasts.
But that's just because it's the only place that we could put it.
We are a lesson series, not a podcast.
Yeah. Come on, Lillian.
Please okay. Thank you for the kicker mail
though. So they continue on and with and
I was wondering if I can help raise the army of Spinneracks
and Ariadoses with Mr. Curtis. Hold on before you judge, Mr.
Curtis. They say I believe an insect
type supremacy and that they are overlooked and mistreated
because they're seen as weak. Well, they are.
These are facts. Wow.
OK. Corbin, please, please.
No, you're not going to get a Gold Star with that attitude,
Corbin. That's.
Right. Well, I wasn't going to get one
anyway. This is, I'm deducting a Gold
Star away from the game. I don't have one at the
beginning. You can't take what I don't
have. Yeah, well, you have deficit.
Now you owe me one Gold Star, and now you owe him a Gold Star.
All right, Well, then I'll be deficited.
Was that all they said? Or you?
I mean there is more in the Gengar mill, but it's not as
related to spinner X. So I'm waiting for your.
So, Lillian, let me put it like this.
Your heart is in the right place.
Insect types of supremacy is key.
And and and you're right, they are overlooked and mistreated
because she's weak, but they truly are the strongest Pokémon
type. Can we all agree?
Can we all? No, no, no.
Factually there, that's not true.
They are the grossest type that nobody likes.
And I will say I've not had many of people asked to join the the
the army. But I tell you what I will.
I will accept your application. It is a 200 page essay on the.
Different phenotypes of spinner acts and their pros and cons.
How many? How many?
How many phenotypes are there? Am I?
Secure I get some examples. Can there's about it depends on.
So originally there were 30 different phenotypes, but I've
bred in. A couple more, Couple hundred
more actually. There's 338 now.
Yeah, but but you know, did just just the core 30, if you please,
that's fine. And your takes on which ones
will be important to to create the perfect spinner act.
Thank you. What's what?
What is your favorite spinner ACT phenotype, Mr. Curtis?
The one that makes the stripes on the back look like a face.
Horrifying. Great.
That's that is one of my favorite.
Not because it gives them any additional strength or you know
fighting power. I mean I've read all those in
anyway. But like, you know that one is
when you look at it, it just, it's like it speaks to you
literally the face it looks. Like a not a thing I like about.
That so? So yeah, exactly.
Wait, so it literally speaks to you?
No, I mean, don't tell me, but as the spirit walks around, the
face on the back kind of jiggles.
And so it kind of looks like the mouth is speaking to you.
Why does? It jiggle.
Yeah. I mean it just as it's moving
kind of the ripples and flexes a little bit, the process of doing
that you've never like. Like moved your hand up and down
to make a like a little puppet, a little hand.
I oh, yes. I moved my hand up and down at
least three times a day. Yeah, of course I know what
you're talking. About exactly right.
So. So yeah, so it's like a little
little face puppet on the back of spinner acts.
OK, but you said you said like flapping, like it was like a
fatty body. Your spinner acts for fatties.
No, I mean, it's not. It's not like like rolls of fat.
It's just OK, yes. Gotcha.
Anyways, Professor, please. That was exciting.
Lillian continues on with their Gengar mail they say.
Also, can you ask Mr. Curtis if we can raise some Lux rays as to
help as well? The Shinks Mine are my favorite
Pokémon and I don't want them to be left out.
I see this is the out of box thinking.
We need more of, I think, some. Luxurys might be somewhat useful
for some extra mounts for Spinner Acts.
I mean, don't get me wrong, Spinner acts can can climb all
over the place on the walls of trees, on the ceilings.
See. There's one right above your
desk. Now, Corbin, please, please just
just take Caroline, I'll be. Present.
I'll put him back in my bag. Oh, my God.
Did you see that? He shot out a web from his wrist
like like he himself is a spinner.
Act, please. And sucked it right back into
his back. How'd you do that?
What's on earth? It's a it's a skill you you get
after you raise a couple 1000 spinner acts but but please but
but yeah but you know they're one thing that they're not super
well known for is is their extreme speed.
So mounting them back on, the mounting them on the back of a
shinks or a luxury could probably contribute to that, and
you could electrify a web. That would be pretty useful.
So I'm seeing some some practicalities there.
That's the thing that's already a that's already a thing.
So yeah, I guess look forward to the spinnerack riding shinks and
a nightmare near you. I'd rather not.
Thank you. So Lillian's genger mail ends
with. If there's some important piece
of information I'm missing, it's because at the time that I'm
writing this, I'm only on episode 49 now.
We don't do episodes here. We do the.
Lesson This is not a TV series. We don't do episodes.
Lillian, come on. But yeah, so, yeah, you've got a
little ways to catch up. You probably won't hear this for
a while. For a while, yeah.
You'll realize that there's been a death and resurrection.
Well, I think, I think they've caught on by that by now.
You think Lillian has? Yeah, if Lillian is at this
point listening to this, then they they've obviously listened
to the Mu two and Mu lessons, so they know about this death and
resurrection. Unless they skipped them.
Then you're missing a core part of Mr. Curtis's journey.
Well, sure, but when? When they when this lesson, you
know when we this lesson, we're doing this lesson right now on a
Wednesday at 9:00 AM, you know they will have not listened to
them all. So they are currently in the
past. You hear what I'm saying?
That's something to think about right there.
Yeah. You gotta you gotta really wrap
your head around this whole time thing, Corbin, cuz there's
there's a we're gonna be talking about a couple Pokémon that deal
with that. No, I love it.
Give me. Give me time.
I actually want more of it. OK, who doesn't?
All right, so that's going to do it for our the all the gang
garment. Oh, wait, Curtis, Does Lillian
get a Gold Star? I mean, I.
Think of course, of course, 22 gold stars.
Oh my goodness. Oh, my good gully gracious.
Wow, Lillian. That's right.
That's the. I mean, that is not a small
feat, Lillian. Lillian won't know that for
quite a while, because but but they are right now listening to
Venom off, which is just very important.
Another book. We don't want to distract them
while they're listening to Venom off.
Right, right. We know exactly what they're
listening to right now. We have it up on our tabs.
No, that's that's that's less than 49.
That's less than 49. It's minimum.
I thought you meant like you were actually actively listening
to what Lillian's listen to right now.
No, no, no. That would be crazy.
But yeah, Lillian, once you get here, you can have two gold
stars for your love of the insect type supremacy.
Thank you very much Insect type. Insect bug, you know?
Yeah, it's it's it's the breeder jargon that I don't really know
that well. Look at that.
My phone lit up. It says she's listening to or.
Sorry. It says they're listening to
drurtini right now. Look at that.
Oh wow. How could you possibly know
that, Corbin? Notifications.
Come on, you gotta get the app. What app?
Come on, it's called track that. Track that or we can know
whatever. Everybody's listening to it
every. Yeah.
I saw an advertisement for it when it fell out of Mr. Curtis's
wall when he was spying on me at my house the other night.
So. I don't know what you're talking
about. I've never got.
That that's how he's been able to track me all this time.
So yeah, looked into it and learn a few things so it can
just track anything. It tracks anything and
everything as long as you take it.
Little sample of it. So you've taken a little sample
of something from Lillian? No.
You found this. Now Do you wanna go Corbin?
No. No, no, no.
Well, I have no samples taken there.
Then how are you tracking it? I Boss, you've talked yourself
into a corner. Anyways, enjoy listening to the
routine lesson, Lillian. Okay.
All right, Okay. So Speaking of Pokémon, have you
guys heard of those? Yep, a few of them.
A couple of million we're learning about 1:00 today.
Hey, which one? You tell me actually.
So demanding. How about let's let's learn
about Torterra today. What do you say, everybody?
No, no, no. There is one that we're learning
about. I just want.
You to? Oh, I thought you were asking.
Yeah, you should do that one. We're talking about the
situation. Should do that.
You should do that. That's.
What I prep for you know, I knew it.
Was prep decide one day? Can I decide one day?
Sure. For the next lesson, I'll let
you decide. Sweet, awesome.
Just just remind me at the end of today's lesson.
OK, yeah, I won't forget it all. What Pokémon are we learning
about today? Oh, oh, this is the one that's
it's meta. Gross, right?
I said this is you. Why, professor?
You're being ignored. No one is acknowledging your
deciduize anymore, Mr. Curtis. Yeah, maybe then you'll stop
doing it. It's not Metagross, although you
got the first couple letters correct.
Oh, mammoth swine. Now you're getting colder.
Yeah, pillow swine. Okay.
We're learning about the evolved form of Bay leaf.
Maganium Yes, which is the herb Pokémon?
The herb Pokémon. Nice, all right, but a little
dash of this. A little dash of that.
So I say we just get right to it and I have a Maganium right here
and I'm gonna throw it out. You're to throw that, you're
just hey there, there it is. Wow.
Hey. You are large.
McKay Yeah. What?
What do you smell? Mr. What do you smell?
What do you eat for lunch today? Mcgainium.
Holy cow. That's a cow.
Mcgainium My Good color Gracious.
Is that do I do I do I smell a little bit of cloves in there, a
little bit of a little bit of of thyme, some citrus?
Very good. I like it, but more Spice Cow.
It smells. How does it make you feel?
I just feel I feel good. Mr. Curtis, are you feeling
good? Yeah, I'm feeling.
I'm feeling so like the like the life is being breathed back into
me. I just, I don't know.
I just feel chill. I feel good.
Feel like I get get down with some raps.
New Region 2020. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Calm down. Take a deep breath.
Calm down now. I will.
I should tell you that since I am your legal guardian while
we're here in the Jota region, yeah, don't mind me, They did
give me access to your shock bracelet.
The what? What?
Shock bracelet Talking about what do you mean?
What shock bracelet? They told me that you knew about
your shock bracelet. I don't remember that and they
told me that whenever you start to wrap I have to push the
button and shock. I don't have a shock bracelet,
so just be just be aware of that, Corbin.
I have a shock inklet. Is that what you mean?
This right here that is. I don't know.
I have a but I have a remote with a button on it.
When I push it, it shocks you somehow.
You would be. Be the one to put a bracelet
around your ankle. Well, I thought it was a nice
cute accessory and I just wondered why.
Sometimes when I was scolded by my mom, there would occasionally
be a shock. Shock related to it.
I didn't put the two and two together that she put it there
when I was sleeping and shocks me to get what she wants.
Oh, so she put this bracelet on your on your leg instead of your
arm? Yes, wow, she said.
Hey, I bought you a bracelet, buddy, and I said thanks mom.
OK, listen, we have a Pokémon right here.
We shouldn't be tired. Oh, hey, Mcgainium.
Hi. So you've noted the smell.
Is there anything else you want to talk about with Mcgainium?
Maybe some some characteristics that are similar to Bay Leaf and
some that are different? Oh, they're beautiful.
I mean. It's just big and green.
Big and green. OK, Dhoni, it's like 5 foot 11.
Dhoni, you know what I'm saying? Like it makes me I feel good
when I smell it and then I just want to.
I feel like the game is like an old friend, know what I mean?
Like an old friend named Tony that you've known your whole
life. You walk into the, you know, you
walk into the Milk Bar and there's just there they are,
Tony. Hey Tony, this is what you think
its name should be Corbin. I think its name should be Tony,
which is short for Anthony, which also happens to be one of
our patrons. Whoa, that's weird how that
keeps happening. So I'm feeling, uh, Anthony.
Slash Tony a Tony a Tony a Tony a Tony.
You got the herb. A Tony's got the herbs.
I will say a game does seem to have some kind of antenna on his
head, but it's weird cuz it's not in the same spot where you
would normally see like on a bug type Pokémon antenna.
Cuz it's better. On the tap on the top or towards
the back of the head, it's actually in the front.
Before you know, kind of in front of its eyes, almost like
on the bridge of its nose. Yeah, 2 cute little antennas and
the flower is beautiful. I must say, maybe when we read
these polka dot centuries we'll learn what the antenna are for.
Ooh, Tony. Tell me about you antennas,
Tony. It's interesting that I mean I
guess the end, the end, the antenna.
I have replaced the leaf that was there before cuz now there's
no leaf cuz if I recall correctly both chicorita and Bay
leaf had a leaf. That leaf took a little trip on
down the slide that is Mcgannium's neck and then landed
there on the shoulders and said I'm gonna be a flower now.
Well, but but Bay Leaf also had those, those curled leaves on
its neck, like inside. Chicorita, right.
You're right. That's good point.
So then maybe the leaves split and turn into those antenna on
its head maybe. So think about, I don't know
why, I mean bulb. I guess we'll read these spoken
eccentrics and we'll maybe we'll see why.
I cannot wait. Each each of Bay leaves bulbs
became a petal of the flower. Oh, a petal of the flower.
A petal of the flower. That's a very cute name for you
Tony. These are the petals of our
flower. Oh, like.
That's like a really good Meganium documentary.
Like sand and hourglass, these are the petals of our flower.
These are the petals of our flower, all right?
Anything else we wanna talk about with Maganium?
Hey Tony, nice tail. It's short, it's sweet and I
like it. It's to the point I like.
It I can, yeah. It's just like it's just like
Chicorita and Bay Leaf. MM HM.
Yes. Now Maganium's breath has a very
interesting ability, but I don't, I mean, we do have a lot
of just a lot of plants around here, but none of them are like
dead or the the groundskeeper around here takes care of them
pretty well. And then I've seen the
groundskeeper, cuz I have not seen the groundskeeper.
He's He's weird. Larry.
Yeah.
What? Have you seen Larry Corbin?
I did run into him once, yeah. He's a little, a little bit of
an oddball, honestly. Gotta tell you, is he a Pokémon?
Really. Is he a Pokémon?
Oh no, no, It's just the guy then.
He's just the guy. Yeah, he's just the guy named
Larry. Just the guy named like, that's
a little bit. It's a little bit, I guess,
boring, but you know, I guess, yeah.
Sorry, can't only hire Pokémon in a school.
No, no. No.
No, no. Yeah.
Sometimes they pay people. Are you Are you sure though?
I mean, because I thought Larry was the Poly toad.
Larry is absolutely not the Poly toad.
That's Terry. Terry is the Poly toad.
Terry's the Poly toad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, he's not the groundskeeper. He's irrigation.
Oh, see, You could see why I'd be confused.
Yeah, well that's that's why I'm here.
Terry the irrigator to take care of the landscaping, but not the
actual landscaper. That's exactly what I'm trying
to tell you. And like, this isn't even
mentioning Harry. Right.
Yeah. What's Harry's job?
Well, Harry is of course a tangle.
Oh, yeah, right. And they they make sure where
the hedges are trimmed. Nice, nice, nice.
Good for thumb, but that's under the belt of landscaping, right?
Yeah. Well, they're learning from
Larry. Yeah, they're Larry's
apprentice. Harry is Larry's apprentice.
Gotcha, Gotcha. Okay Okay.
Gotcha. Okay.
All right, I think we've had this Maganium out for long
enough. We'll learn more about what a
breath do. What a breath do.
When we read these poker
exentries, let's go ahead and put Anthony away.
By Tony Anthony. Whatever you prefer.
Bye, bye, Tony. See you, Tony.
By Tony, let's go ahead and read these poker exentries, starting
of course, in the JoJo region. The first one says the aroma
that rises from its petals contains a substance that calms
aggressive feelings. Yeah, I mean, that was already
kind of chill to begin with. But yeah, I feel that, yeah, it
kind of. So we go from chicorita which,
but what does chicorita scent do?
It makes you not want to fight, yeah.
So it you know, in a way you could say it calms you.
Yes, some would say that. Then we go to Bay Leaf.
What does Bay Leafs Fragrance do?
Invigorates, vigorates excited. With it gets you hyped up to
fight actually. And now if we get to Mcgainium
and what does Mcgainiums do? Calm me right back down.
Yeah, it's calming again. That's so weird.
It's like a roller coaster of emotions all built into one
family. Roller coaster of smells, it's
like, it's like it goes. Put that on a T-shirt.
Ooh, I like that. We don't have.
That was a roller coaster. Everything on a T-shirt.
Put that. Yeah, Mr. Curtis, Maybe if you
give me a Gold Star, I'll put it on a T-shirt.
You haven't made any shirts, Corbin.
Why would we think that? You're the you're the guy that
that makes. We don't have enough screaming
students telling us we need 2 shoots.
Now that happens. Well, we'll get some Really.
Nobody in our millions of virtual students has asked for
tshirts. They're all poor, professor.
That's why they listen and don't pay for in class.
Oh, they're paying. They're paying.
OK, well, if you could not insult our virtual students,
that'd be amazing. Even though they're not in
class, they do have to pay quite a bit.
I didn't. Need to listen remotely so.
Right, right. That's, you know what?
You're right. I don't know the finances.
One. Actually, one might even say
more. What better check your bank
statements there, kids. That's right, I'm taking it the
next polka deck, Century says. Mcgamium's breath has the power
to revive dead grass and plants. It can make them healthy again.
Very nice. Very nice.
Yeah. So maybe Larry and Harry could
could really utilize the game. Yeah, Larry and Harry, you guys
could really use the Magainium on your team, Sam.
Yeah. So maybe I'll talk to the GCLC
bot. SCLC is the principal and see if
they can maybe get a Magainium. Maybe they could use this
Magainium, maybe they could use Anthony, I don't know.
Hey, I would love to see Anthony get a job.
Yeah, get a job, Anthony. But we've already got three
people on the outdoors team here.
Why not? Let's throw Tony in there too.
Yeah. Well, have you seen the grounds
of this of the GCLC bot SCLC? I mean, it could use a bit more
upkeep. I mean Larry.
I mean, Larry and Harry are no Gary.
Well, I'm not saying that the upkeep is bad.
I'm just saying that there's a lot of.
It there's a lot. Of there's a lot.
That's if there's one. Thing you know about the GCLC
bots CLC is that there is a lot of plants to take.
Be taken care of here. Lots of grass.
To be keeping. Right, exactly.
So the the big issue there however something to think about
is that all the way at the Saffron City Learning Center,
you just had Gary handling it all.
But here you got to have Terry, Larry and Harry.
They can't compare to Gary. There is no comparison to Gary.
Gary comparison to Gary to Gary. Yeah, that'd be crazy.
You can't compare Terry, Larry and Harry to Gary.
Just be insanitary. No.
Wait, no, wait. That means it's in hygienic.
Some would say it's sick. Yes.
OK, all right. Hey, should I read the third
Pokedex entry? Sure.
Yeah, that's fine. That's good idea.
Anyone who stands beside it becomes refreshed, just as if
they were relaxing in a sunny forest.
Yeah, so you are refreshed and also relaxed.
So like a real spa day. Yeah for sure.
OK, let's move on to the Hohen region.
The first Polkadex, and I think only Polkadex entry says the
fragrance of Meganium's flower soothes and calms emotions in
battle. This Pokémon gives off more of a
becoming scent to blunt the foes fighting spirit.
So kind of same things like chicorita.
It's pretty much the exact same thing as chicorita, which is
kind of a little bit lame if you ask me.
That's right. I mean, I'll say it, McGee.
Name's a little bit lame. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't
you're talking, you're talking about our new assistant
groundskeeper. Well, Tony's not out.
Well, I'll have to talk to the principal.
I mean, that's right. That's fine.
So yes, I mean, besides the whole like breath thing that can
revive dead plant, which is pretty fantastic.
The the fragrance powers, you know, we've seen it.
It's been done before. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, for sure. And that does it for the hohen
region. I remember when they used to do
like two or three pokedex entries.
Yeah, and things were, you know, much more unique.
There wasn't as much copying going on.
Yeah, it's almost like the Pokémon, the joke that they
really stopped caring about the Pokémon, the Joto region.
It's kind of sad. I really like these Pokemons.
I mean, there's a lot of cool Pokémon.
Honestly. Like the chicorita line, does
not get as much love as it deserves, in my opinion.
You know what? I'd agree with that.
All right, so moving on to the
Sinno region, it's very short. We only have one, and it says
its breath has the fantastic ability to revive dead plants
and flowers. Which, if you didn't know,
flowers are plants. No.
Yeah, and that does it for Sinno.
That and and you. Nova just copies what Sinno
says. Callos just copies.
You're kidding. Yeah.
Callos just copies the JoJo region, and there's nothing from
Alola or Paldea or Gallar. So.
Wow, kind of Liam. However, there is something from
the lentil region, hey? Oh, OK, yes, of course.
This is Professor Professor Mirror who has been.
Doing that's a made-up name, but yeah, mostly.
Mostly taking cool pictures, but whatever.
So his entry is very interesting.
It says Illumina Pokémon hadn't been seen on Florio Island for
almost a century until you encountered this one Me.
You take its photo. Maganium seems so happy living
with the other Pokémon on that flowery hill.
This seems less like a Pokedex entry and more of like a
personal message to somebody, but it's in the quote UN quote
photo decks, so thanks Professor Muir.
Yeah. Thanks.
Appreciate that Professor Muir.
And I do have one more here. It's from it's not from a
specific region, but it's from Professor Naroli, who's been
doing research on sleeping Pokémon.
I think we talked about them. They had an entry on Bay Leaf.
Do you remember? I do remember.
Yes, I do. There's some.
No, I remember. I remember.
I remember guys all got looked very scared for a second.
I'm not sure why. I don't cover.
Hey, cover what? Remind me.
What am I supposed to remember? It was.
Somebody that we talked about last week, I think.
Somebody, I think, remember that it was a professor we talked
about last week or something. I think, yeah, I'm just watching
you guys whisper into each other's ear.
I know. You like no.
No, we're not. Saying no, of course, of course
we know exactly. What's going on?
I something in my teeth. OK, cool.
What's the professor's name that we're about to read?
Their phone mirror? Nope, that was from the lentil.
Lentil OK? Nope, no, we're we're reading
from some somebody who's doing sleep research.
Just let me know, OK? Just let me know when it gets to
dawn, when it gets OK Well, maybe there isn't a dawn entry
this time. You don't say that, Curtis.
What's the name of the professor I just said?
You mean the the sleepy one? Yes, the sleepy one.
Wow, Mr. Curtis, no gold stars for you.
But I don't know. All right, well, Corbin's
talking about game, so he obviously remembers.
He doesn't. No, it's Rowan.
OK, no, wait, no. I literally just said the name.
You guys. Clearly we're not listening.
It's Professor Neroli. Oh.
OK. Yeah, sure.
You're. Right.
Yeah, I do remember that. Oh, Curtis still hasn't said it.
I mean, that one you just said, all right, they're pokedex entry
for. I'm just kidding, Professor.
I know it's neroli Come. OK.
Thank you they're pokedex entry. What's his research on Curtis?
Ravioli. Sleep.
Sleep OK, sleeps out there. I went to one of his lectures
once. Very boring.
Fell right asleep through the whole thing.
Wow. So it was effective then?
Well, you might say no. He's doing great work.
Wow. OK, so the entry says.
The fragrance given off by its flower soothes and calms
emotions. Fewer Pokémon fight around
Maganium. You'll often see them sleeping
peacefully, side by side. So peaceful.
So, so calming. All right, that does it for the
regional pokedex entries I have. Actually I have a lot of unique
pokedex entries here. Oh no kidding.
Yeah, so maybe maybe we'll see an entry from Don or Don's
Pokedex. Anyways, Alright, so the first
one comes to us from Ash. It says Maganium, the herb
Pokémon. The Maganium has the ability to
fully restore, restore dried up plants and bring them back to
life with its breath. Yep.
Nope, that's. My stinky breath did that.
What? What do your breath do?
Stink. Most of the time my breath does
the opposite. If I'm being honest.
Yeah. I mean or you know makes damages
the life force of things that I breathe on.
I mean, you're just going to keep it real?
Did you say I just got to keep it real?
Is that what you said? Just going to keep kind of be
honest. Some people have said my my
breath is so deadly, smells so bad.
It's horrendously bad. It's disgusting.
It's weird. It's almost like maybe that's
why Corbin is saying 10 years old.
Because cuz Curtis's breath is stealing his future years.
I mean, honestly, it wouldn't. Hey, it's well, that makes it
sound like it has a positive effect because then it's like
the fountain of youth. I'm just staying young forever,
all because of his stinky breath.
I don't think that's the case. Or once you know, once you're
out of Mr. Curtis's vicinity for a while, maybe all of those
years will come and hit you and you'll jump right to 50.
Right. I think.
I think it's something with me being born on a leap year that
probably that probably also has something to do with it.
The next Pokedex entry comes to us from Mays Pokedex.
It says Maganium, the herb Pokémon.
Maganium is Chicorita's final evolved form.
It releases a cent from its petals that has the power to
quell the desire to fight. Chill out, Quell Quell on this.
Fall on it. Hey, just Quell for a second.
Yeah, quell it out. The next century also, weirdly
enough, comes from maize. Pokedex just can't get enough of
Meganeum apparently it says Meganeum the Earth Pokémon.
Meganeum's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.
And I'll say this grass be plants.
It's true. Last I checked, grass is and
will always be plants. But are all plants grass?
No, all plants are not grass. This is true.
I mean what what is a tree but a big grass?
Big fake woody grass. Whoa, that's.
I mean, wow, what is corn but grass?
Right. Big.
Yes grass. Grass with yellow bits growing
off of it. What are humans but grass?
Grass that can move around and stuff.
No, no, no, no. Professor.
Brain hurts. Humans aren't grass.
You heard it here, folks.
No. They're not.
This is just. I don't like this.
This is confusing my head. Professor, please.
OK, the next entry comes to us from Ashes ro Tom phone.
So if you're keeping scored, that was ash, may, may ash is.
The Wow. We got.
OK. All right.
Ash couldn't allow May to have two and him not have two.
Yeah, I guess so. A lot of rival rivalry between
those two. Maganium the herb Pokémon, a
grass type and the final evolved form of chicorita.
Maganium gives off a fragrance containing a substance that
reduces the foes urge to fight. Interesting.
So maybe one could distill that substance and steal it for their
own. And I don't know if somebody
tries to fight them, yes. Solve World Peace.
Throw a glass vial at them. There you go.
Yeah, Calms them down. I think that'd be honestly,
that'd be a good. Has anybody done that yet?
Has anybody that could be a business that could be an entire
business? Yeah, just bring somebody into
your conference room with a bunch of magainiums in there and
just you can do whatever you want out of them.
Conflict resolution. You know when, you when.
If you know you're trying to resolve an argument between a
couple different people, you get them in a room, put a couple
Magainians in there and hash it out.
You know. No, I'm saying you don't need
the Magainium. So I mean, you need them, just
you harvest that substance. The stink the the stink.
Harvest the stink and distill it and make it even more
concentrated and potent. And then you can.
The Maganian stink. I bet you could make like a
sleep potion out of that. Make people fall asleep.
I I that that's true that I I I sure there's a couple more
Pokémon that have more sleep focused smells that could you
know knock you out even quicker though Well, I mean we do have a
long ways to go so maybe we will run into one.
Maybe one or two I guess. Does does Butter Free have the
sleep stuff or is it just the paralyzed stuff?
I thought butter free, you know, butter free is paralyzed.
I don't think it's sleep well. I can't think back that far.
All right, that does it. For all of the Pokedex entries
on Mcgam. Does anybody have any questions,
any any burning, burning knowledge that they desire to
have? No, no, I'm feeling.
Pretty good. I feel like I know everything.
Yeah. What?
OK, what? What do it's antennas do?
Well, they sniff out for positive energy mothers.
I have no idea, professor. Please enlighten me.
I don't know. The Poconex never answered it.
They don't do anything. Well, that's my.
Best guess. Pretty lame though.
Yeah, it kind of sucks. All right.
So that's gonna, so I think we should move on to the testing
portion. Yes, it's time.
Pulling out my Ro Tom laptop, gonna take a quiz.
So yes, go ahead, go take a quiz, Tom.
Laptops. So you, Ro Tom, type out your
poem, because we're doing a poem today.
Hey, hey, hey. Professor, So yeah, this is a
little bit of a freebie, you know?
Give it to me. Give it to me, the freebie.
Give it to my Pokémon line here in the Georgia region.
So go ahead and you know, write me a poem about Maganium.
You got it. You've got it.
Take your time. Really.
Let my time creativeness flow.
Oh, it'll flow. You just wait.
All right. Corbin.
I see.
I see you have finished tipping. Are you Are you ready?
These. Two, I'm ready.
I'm ready to go. I'm ready to rock, ready to
roll, ready to get down with it, get ready to jiggy with it, get
down on it. I'm sorry, I've been listening
to a lot in the new music here. The radio station and the JoJo
region is pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Pretty good. Alrighty guys, here is my poem.
Sounds like you're still writing it or something.
You're stalling for time. It's called Petals.
I just made that up. Here we go.
Here we go, here we go, here we go.
Heart so broken. Throat is choking.
Sadness comes to loom. Rise from petals makes me settle
the sense of your bloom. Calming sense no more intense.
Your energy floods the room. Lifeless plants a second chance
risen from mortal tombs. From where we grew become anew.
Meganium's holy womb. Professor, that was it.
Thank you. That was wonderful.
Excellent job there, Corbin. It does kind of start off a
little bit weird and a little bit gruesome.
Yeah, moving was hard here. No okay.
I wonder if sometimes it's the delivery of the poem that gets
us lost. And cuz I think the general
consensus is that people think your poems are a lot better.
Yes, yes, and I. Say, which is not true.
That's very true, Mr. Curtis. Your poems are bad.
I'll say it here first. They're bad.
Well, I think it would be interesting to switch it up like
Corbin. You read Mr. Curtis's poem and
Curtis. Well, hey, you should be well
that next time. Well, that next time.
Great idea. Next time we'll swap it.
Yeah, well, we'll forget. We'll, yeah, we'll absolutely
forget. Swap it and drop it.
Yeah, pop lock and drop it. Some would say it's your flip, a
different flange yet, So Mr. Curtis.
Yes, I am very eager to hear yours.
Thank you. Thank you.
All right, hold on real quick. Let me just give a quick.
No. OK, Me.
Me. How's the syrup, Mr. Curtis?
It is sweet and sticky just the way I like it.
All right. Please, please, please, why did
you ask him? Sorry, I just need to know.
Magaini Yum. Magaini Yum is what I say when I
smell that good. Good breath.
Breath. So fragrant, Fragrant.
You see what I'm saying? Do you see what I'm saying?
Breath so fragrant it brings. Didn't even say it right that
time. Mr. Curtis, do you have a list
with the word fragrant? Just give me.
Just give me a clean, fragrant. Breath so fragrant it brings
plants and flowers back from death.
How could I get mad while sniffing that scent?
One huff in my fighting spirit is spent.
Standing in the presence of your magnificent flower, making
people feel refreshed and reflect relaxed, is your
superpower. Thank you.
That's it. I'm done.
I I'll be honest, I couldn't focus on.
I was just thinking about all the times you messed up words.
Oh no. But hey, I'm sure it was good
for all you virtual students out there.
You could let us know if if it was good or not.
I, like, honestly couldn't tell you a single word from it except
for fragrant. Maybe you should have more
promise to stand out. Miss Curtis you.
Ever thought of that? Fragrant.
There you go.
Oh my.
Is that a line from your famous Maganium poem?
It is. It is.
Wow. It's famous, all right.
You wouldn't know because you know the original.
In the original piece it was fragrant, but.
Ah, yes. A lot of people don't know that
that was a mistake by the original orator.
And so, yeah, the the, the true text of the poem is actually
fragrant. Yes, really deep, really good
stuff. But such as the nature of the
poem, you guys all get full marks, 100%.
So great job, great job. Thank you.
Thank you so much for being excellent students in this,
during this period of of change as we move to the Jota region.
Are you guys feeling, you know, settled in yet?
I know the Mr. Curtis you say you still do the commute to and
from Saffron City every single day.
Well, I have the. I have.
I'm actually decided to get a room at the nursery that's South
of Goldenrod City. Oh, that's right.
Didn't you say you have a family member of that?
My uncle who runs the breeding center in in the Canton region.
You know, they have a, they have some connections, some friends
with the individual that runs this, this breeding center.
So they've given me a room in the shed Outback.
So you know, that's where. Sounds like a really nice place
to live. It's well, you know, it's me and
my colony of 300 spinner racks I brought with me.
So. Right, right, right, right.
There, there, we're there. We're making it at home.
That's the hell language Corbin. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why don't you come over, Corbin, Come take a seat in my come take
a seat in my web and. I will never say that again.
I give it to you to never hear that again.
Walk a day in my sticky shoes. I don't want to walk anywhere
near Sticky near you, Mr. Curtis.
That is a OK with me. Thank you.
Plus we know that Corbin has very, very large feed.
They're like clowns, Feed. That's true.
My.
Shoes are way too. My shoes are way too small.
For you, No. No, they're not clowns.
Feed. You guys are size fourteens,
right? No, no.
Well, certainly not. Wow, That's.
Yeah, it's as weird it says Mr. Mime size on the inside of them.
Stop stealing my shoes. We've talked about this.
Yeah, a size a size 14 Mr. MIME size is actually a size 20
normal size. What's?
No, it's not Mr. Curtis. That's a lie.
They are. He's lying.
He's getting off track and he's lying.
In fact, we we are all getting off track.
So let's get back on track and finish out this lesson cuz we
were done talking about Maganium.
We'll be talking about a different Pokémon next week, and
that Pokémon will be decided by Corbin.
Let's hear it, Corbin, Who we gonna learn about?
Uh, next week I've got to learn about a little bit of turd twig.
I need a little turd twig in my life.
Because that's what we're learning about next week.
Little tortilla. That's all right.
Are you sure you want to do Turk Twig?
Oh, I'd love to do Turd Twig. You kidding me?
All right. Well, I guess we're doing Turd
twig next week. All right, guys, it's a new
semester. New rules here.
Welcome to the show. It's first of all, it's not a
show. Well, I'm running the show now.
Excuse me? Turtwig, next week, be there, be
square. So yes, next week we'll be doing
Turtwig, but we'll be doing a weird fun thing where we call it
Cyndaquil every single time we talk about it and read only the
Pokedex Centuries on Cyndaquil. But in essence, it will be a
lesson on Turtwig if you kind of like look at kind of look at it
with squint your eyes and look at it sideways.
No, not at all. So next week will be our lesson
on syndaquil slash twig all. Right.
I can't wait to learn about both, but until then, if you
have any questions for me, the professor, you can send me a
Gengar mail at wwpokemon@gmail.com or you can
find one of our many other socials from our link tree,
which is. You can find that link in the
description of this lesson. Yeah, and if you really, really
like this. Class if you really care.
If you actually cared, well, it helps.
I mean, if you cared and you have the means to, you can go to
our Patreon and you can subscribe.
There's a bunch of different rewards there that you could get
for subscribing at different levels.
I'm not great at talking about them, but Corbin is.
Yeah, outtakes. We got QA's, we got Mr. Curtis's
horrific drawings. Beautiful doodles.
Thank you. And the best part is you get the
full access to the Discord, which honestly, our Discord has
been popping off. I am not gonna lie, it is a fun
place to be. That's that's how Vespa got
elected a class president. You wanna know how Vespa got
elected a class president? Because they were popular in the
discord and everybody loved it. Hold on.
So hold on. Vespa was popular long before,
right Vespa? Made an impact.
Vespa's been playing the game from the very beginning.
They were listen, listen to me. They made their impact early on.
And then they got the discord. They knew that they were a hoot
and a half. A hoot, hoot and a half, and
everybody would love them. And then boom, they work their
way up to the presidency. It's just typical politics.
This is how politics is play. This is how politics works.
So if you want to be good at politics and be the new
president of our class, all you got to do is give us a little
bit of money, be active in the discord, plant some seeds and
then boom to boom, Boo to Bing. There you go.
But yeah, so the Discord has long since passed, me being able
to keep up with it every single day.
There's so much going on that is hard to keep track of sometimes,
but that's good, that's fun. There's a lot of different
conversations going on and a lot of fun interactions so and that,
and to get access to that you only need to donate $1.00.
And I will say this, We are very close to that $200.00 a month
Patreon goal. Whoa.
NUS Lock Challenge, NUS Lock Challenge.
If we get to that, we will get a We'll start doing a NUS Lock
challenge with the three of us anyways.
Long story short, join the Patreon if you can, if you have
the means to. But that's going to do it for
today's lesson, So until next time, class is dismissed.
