Hello there. Welcome to the world of Pokemon.
My name is Professor Jacob? And joining me today as always
is my wonderful teaching assistant, mr.
Curtis a load everybody, mr. Curtis I can't believe I didn't
notice you weren't in the room. All right.
Yeah, I'm here. I'm sorry Professor, I'm sorry.
Yeah, I was just, whoo. That's just just straightening
up before, class. Okay.
Straighten up, Maurice up. But you were talked about in the
class. Somebody didn't come through
with his detention and finish cleaning up all the Machoke
droppings in the what way? And what are you talking about?
I didn't have to tell you didn't give me detention last week.
I was I was a good boy. You know that you you have
detention until I say you don't have detention.
Oh, come on. I did nothing wrong.
We learn about Nidorino. I was good boy.
All right. Was it a good boy?
Professor tell me I'm a good boy.
I tell him, I'm you night. Remember I do not remember what
happened last week? I cannot I cannot confirm or
deny whether or not you were a good or bad boy crazy weekend,
right? Professor.
More of a bad memory and of course you've heard him talking
joining us here as well. Is our student our trainer and
trading Corbin say load, everybody Corbin.
Hello everybody. Not only my student.
Apparently I'm a resignated resident did but that's not the
right word. Designated designated haha.
I'm a I'm hey guys. I filled English to.
Can you believe that I am the designated.
A specialist because I'm always apparently in detention for
doing nothing wrong. Mr. Curtis MIT Professor, you
cannot let him keep giving me detention I haven't done
anything wrong. Hey, haven't hey, he's Fair.
Wait. No, he's firm.
But fair. All right.
I have to destroy. It doesn't you need to learn
your lesson and clearly you have not done that yet.
He doesn't have any sort of authority but you know what?
Whatever, let's just I have in this classroom.
I have all the authority and therefore mr.
Curtis has the authority that I bequeath him.
Thank Professor, I hope bequeath.
When you beat the we Amia thority, there's nothing I care
for more Curtis. I don't like when you say it, it
sounds weird when you say it. Don't say it.
Please say we bequeath, bequeath.
Bequeath are make sure and is it says it bequeath or but, oh no.
No, no. Okay, let's, let's let's move on
with the lesson. If I'm good.
Can I stop the recurring detentions, please, I'd, hey,
that's up to mr. Kersey mr.
I mean, it's really it's not really a time frame.
Um, it's a, it's a weight that you have to meet before you're
done. As is that mean way, so much, so
many pounds of protein, solid Machoke.
Droppings, you have to shovel before, you're too tall.
Lifted, I thought you meant that I had to like gain or lose
weight, so I have to pick up a certain amount of Machoke shit,
okay? That's have you been how you
been recording? How much you pick up Corbin.
Um, no, but I've been putting in my backpack.
Oh, but I had Don't worry. That's iíve taken.
Copious notes. Carbon you, you have shoveled.
300 out of your 400 allotted pounds.
Almost there. Almost there.
You're almost halfway there. That's only two weeks worth.
They managed so much. They do it.
They do. They really do.
I mean it really do. Babies do what they eat?
Oh my God. No.
What is it Machoke? Eat fingers.
I'm sorry, anyways, we're not talking about Machoke.
Today today we are talking about oh shit you know Prime no I
think that's it. Yeah.
Oh, is it Primal and in Iran. Now I know one of these guys
have to be called. No Prime Professor.
I just, I'm sorry mr. Curtis but no, there are none.
Nobody in the nit nit 0r an evolutionary line are called
knit. Prime unfortunate, we call them
the Knitter and family is also known as the Nitto Squad here in
the Kanto region of. You must know Professor, I've
lived in the Kanto region for a very long time, and I'm pretty
sure they do not. They do not go by the NATO
Squad. Um, okay, well, I just liked
that name. I just came on cocky.
I thought so. I mean, that's what the young
kids like Professor, we're learning about Nidoking, which
is the evolved form of Nidorino, which in turn is, of course, the
evolved form of Knitter, and Male.
Oh yeah hmm. Yes.
So I'm going to go ahead, I already evolved our Nidorino
from last time. Okay.
Yeah. So we're not going to get that
cool Stone. Well, nothing Corbin you almost
put your hand into the evolutionary energy sphere and
you know that that had me go back and look over the safety
regulations that we have, and I did realize that we hautboy, we
violated a lot of them and that one And that wasn't like, five
minutes of class. So should yes.
I really know what I'm starting to think now.
I kind of deserved attention. Sometimes sometimes, listen,
every time you break it in fraction, I add another 50
pounds. What's it, what's an infection
Breakin, break it in fraction. You know, you breaking and we
wouldn't it be good to break it in fraction.
Guys, I'm only ten. I haven't studied fractions yet.
What do you mean? What are we talking about?
No, OK, here, long enough dilly-dallying.
Let me go ahead and throw out our.
What wait, what do we call this thing?
Knitter. So it's, it's nibbles or mr.
Curtis was a nibbles. Yeah, nibbles Nevels, okay,
nibbles, yes. I'm gonna go ahead and throw out
nibbles and we can see if that name.
Really still makes sense. All right, here he is.
Oh god, let's be calm. Let's era of calmness.
All right, he's just a lot bigger than I thought he would
be. I'm gonna be honest with you.
He's a very big eared. Big Boy, very large, very spiky.
Again, I mean, this is true for all the, the Knitter, an
evolutionary evolutionary line. Do not touch this by quad.
Yeah, then it'll Squad. Yeah, don't touch.
The spikes are all poisonous. Don't touch him, holy shit.
Shit also got e Towers over my little ten-year-old boy body,
right? Be careful.
All right, I've learned my
lesson. I'm not touching them.
Yes, our tables nibbles. You are a very big menacing,
boy. You were so cute.
You little bug teeth before you re still adorable, but I heard
this big honking like just gonna like, oh, okay.
All right, all right, settle down, settle down now.
Sorry, besides him being big. What other differences.
Can you see here? Between Nidorino, And our
Nidoking. Well I mean it almost looks like
I'm not a big sports player, but it almost looks like he's got
shin guards or something or like knee guards.
Obviously pads. You would say that.
It's almost like he's wearing armor.
Yeah, yeah. Look City's armor-plated.
That's also spending a lot more time up on those on his back to
feet. Yes bipedal.
Their various both very good observations.
Yes. Much like In which is the
evolved form of Knitter Arena Nidoking is by pit bipedal and
has very, very strong armor cheese mommy.
It doesn't look like anything is gonna like get through this,
this big boy. Like I mean, he's huge like,
yeah, yeah. Powerful thicker, like, thicker
than a bowl of oatmeal. Like, don't get me wrong.
Nibbles you look great. You look, you look good.
Built like a like a brick shithouse.
Yes. So not only If you think, but
he's also very, very strong in fact.
Much, like much, like another Reno little King has the ability
to smash diamonds with his horns.
Now, I took the liberty to today to bring some some diamonds
here. Where did you get those?
Well, I don't, you know, have I told you.
I can't tell you my secrets. Let's just say that I acquired
them now, if we now if we let you know, King, take a look at
these brilliant diamonds. Why did you say it like that?
But I don't know. It's very sorry.
I forgot I forgot the word diamond for a second.
So I had to had to really think on it.
No. But if we get him, we let him
look at these these brilliant diamonds, right?
And why did you bring any shining pearls to unfortunately?
No. I don't have any shining pearls.
Okay. All right man.
But we'll just stick with the brilliant diamonds then.
Yeah. I mean we can't and we can't
like I would go out and get them.
You know, nobody wants a crappy remake of what we're doing here,
so right? No, but let's just do this.
Let's just do this once and make it good.
Alright so here's this diamond. Alright Nidoking I'm gonna throw
it in the air just like we practiced all right.
Just like we practiced here in a small way he's gonna smash it in
the middle of the air. I thought he has to like, force
it down with like a, like a, like his head.
Like, you know, I mean, like, like, you're like head button?
That's what happens. Whoa.
Oh, snap craziness. That's insane.
All right. Now people to do that rather
pieces before they hit the ground And it's a fun game that
we like to play. I will do.
I will grab all of them. No, mr.
Curtis I hear from word on the street that you're loaded or
your parents are loaded. I will grab the pieces of the
diamonds and I will sell them. Thank you very much.
I will type bring them up to the front of the class, please.
Yeah, I'll give you every single piece that I have here is all
sick. Three pieces that I got.
Here you go. Okay, I'm incorporating.
What? You just shoving your back there
with the Machoke droppings. My nothing.
There's gravel. I saw in the flames.
Our next to the diamonds that I wanted to keep and I'm gonna
have to go through and count count those droppings out.
It's hot. They don't think you do.
All right, let's sit down. I should probably put some
nibbles right back into his pokeball.
You know, he is an extremely powerful Pokémon and we really
shouldn't just have him wandering about.
Okay? He is stepping over a desk.
All right, nipples nipples. All right, I can't wait to take
him Upstate to what. No, I thought we stopped doing
that. Yeah, let Toby get a run at him
after class. I take all of our Pokemon
Upstate to my eye, and I think they, I think Toby and Dougie
would have a hard time trying to do anything with with nibbles
there. I think nibbles is is not going
to again, going to be too easily broken down.
You know what I mean? We don't know how Pokemon.
Our have Pokemon eggs or form so we have no idea what Toby or
Doug was his name. I guess donkey, I think Dougie
would have would have to do, to Nidoking to create an egg, all
right? And we're not going to talk
about here. That's wildly out of the scope
of this class, but I miss him. You know, what is within the
scope of this class. I would say Pokedex entries, the
Pokedex entries. And in fact, we should get
started on that right now. Starting with, of course, the
Kanto region, the first pokedex entry says, it uses its powerful
tail in battle to smash constrict.
Then break the praise bones. Who's Mash?
Constrict and break. The praise goes.
Also entail it seems to be in that order to smash constrict
then break. Okay.
All of its tail. Wow.
Yes. Just with its tail.
Now, I like how it starts off by saying cool in battle.
And then by the end, it's saying its prey.
What that point if you're be, if you're being smashed by a
Nidoking stale, you're no longer an opponent, you are prey at
that point. I mean like okay we got a good
look at narrow King right and his tail like yes it's a, it's a
big strong tail but I couldn't imagine little that like it's so
thick. I don't think a really wrap
around anything. Um, I just have a hard time
picturing it depends on the Pokemon.
Now like that Nidoking wrap around its tail around like a
Wailord most likely not probably not maybe if the way Lord sucked
in its gut a little bit, I don't know.
This is okay, this is a good. This is a good exercise than,
what would you consider to maybe be the prey of a Nidoking?
It doesn't have a lot of meat, but something skinny enough that
it could wrap around and he's and at low and egg secure exact
or what the fuck is an egg succour, you know the really
tall. All skinny palm tree.
Looking you mean? Executor?
Yeah, the lowland exit core. Okay, we clearly can say, okay,
yeah, I could wrap its tale about how do duo or something
like that deaf. Oh, you know, these little Kings
just be gobbling up there Duos. Oh my God.
Yeah, but they don't have a lot of meat on them but I mean, like
they could easily construct. That's why it's that's why they
have to eat like seven or eight a day.
Is that confirmed? Is that written?
I don't know. Okay, I'll have to do some
research but like definitely I mean, yeah, it's kind of your
job kind of expected that but, you know, well, no, no.
My job is to read the Pokedex entries.
All right. As you are, yeah, to keep the
flame other people's work. I'm not claiming it.
I'm just teaching it. I said proclaimed, taking
everybody else's life experiences children who have
risked their lives going on adventures getting data.
Hey, you just read it? It's professors listen.
Professors gift is to take all The raw information that all of
the other professors and the Pokemon Community composite out
loud and to bake it together in a wonderfully seasoned and
marinated and seasoned he said, c is Hokey Pokey.
Paw often fit for consumption by the mass class.
I've told you that like 10 times to be consumed by the masses of
ten year olds such as Self Corbin.
I never thought I'd ever hear this class as an analogy for
seasoned seasoned double seasoned Poppins.
Fort are needed for the Americans to them.
Yeah the the kg of knowledge of your wisdom.
Oh he brought also I want to I want to like just throw out the
the myth right now that all Pokedex entries are written by
kids with Pokedex has that's not true.
That's only for a few of them in the Kanto region.
All right? Not not all them.
All right? It's normally just a like, a
little assignment that Professor send out send you know ten year
olds just starting off on their journey to go and record.
Pokemon is there Pokedex as. All right, they don't right, the
Pokedex entries, so fucking suicide.
Mission here kid, write down some information about a giant
Nidoking that could crush you constrict you and break your
bones when that order in that order.
Well, it's me Because drag them break, but you're a very close.
I was close. All right.
Shall I read the second pokedex entry?
Yeah, I think you should read somebody else's work.
Just marinate me with that knowledge.
It's still like hide adds to its powerful tackle.
Its horns are so hard. They can Pierce a diamond DC.
We saw that firsthand. That was crazy, cut it right in
like, half that a bunch of other pieces was crazy.
How many pieces was it? I gave you.
What? I mean it was all available,
right? Okay.
Yeah. I gave you all the pieces of the
time. Yeah, three in total.
Alright, next entry here says, this is interesting.
It says has a rock-hard hide that is worn like armor is it
on? Do you like deal or rock type or
is it rock-hard well. Okay, just because something is
as hard as rock. Does it mean it's it is a rock
type but it also said Steel in the last.
It did space. Well it said steel like and then
like rock hard. So It's as hard as a rock but it
has you know it's like a shiny as steel.
I don't know it's malleable and captive is steel.
It's ductile. You know like steel is sure.
Okay so it's hard. It's excuse me has a rock-hard
hide as worn. Like armor the long horn on its
head is sharp and highly venomous.
Again that's not what venomous means.
The incorrect usage of venomous. I know these kids don't know
what they're doing man. Hmm.
Okay, let's move on to the Johto region its wings.
It's a big tail around during battle.
If it's flow flinches, it will charge with its sturdy body.
Okay. Next, the next one says, its
tail is thick and Powerful if it, here we go.
So just Buckle in everybody, if it binds an enemy, it can snap
the victim's spine quite easily. Holy shit.
That is brutal. Wait a minute.
What about And Onyx. Is it does not exceed even have
a spine? I guess we got to wait until we
get to those entries. But like I think an onyx is a
spine. Yeah, I think Onyx is all spine.
It just fine all the way down. It's just one long stream of
vertebrae rock. Yeah, with Arceus made that one.
He was like, oops, all spine. Okay.
Okay, gosh, okay. The next one says, uses its
thick arms legs and tail to attack forcefully.
Melee combat is its specialty. Who Woulda guessed.
I could have I I want to guessed it.
Yeah, wow. Well nobody likes a brown-nose,
are Corbin. All right, that's right whatever
you say Professor. Thank you.
Thank you, mr. Curtis.
All right let's move on to the Hoenn region middle Kings thick,
tail packs enormously destructive power with one
swing. It can topple a metal
transmission tower, this is random things.
Very specific. That's the dad that I had to be
metal. Not would not rock.
It's like a trans. What is it a transmission?
Well, I got like a radio tower, is that what it was?
What did you just say? Why do you have any transmission
towers? Do you see that are made out of
wood or Rock like three? Well, I mean it's just the Tom
that matters, right? They could really be made out of
anything. Although rock is weird, it would
be weird for 30 Rock. I mean, hey look, I'm ten years
old, I don't know. What transmission towers are
made out of. It just seems like a random
thing. Why can't it like topple, like I
don't know a building or patriarchal world.
Yeah, he had a major key. All right.
So once this is still how I'm region by the way, once those
Pokémon goes on a rampage, there is no stopping it.
Now a fact, which we will soon find out to be false.
Oh yeah, well learn later on the days I completely full
statement. All right, the next one.
Here says it is recognized by its rock-hard hide.
Extended horn variable is walking down the street.
Hello that's another case that walking down.
Now you're too far all I see yes look at that.
Oh look at the little Queen. Oh you silly boy, it's not a
little Queen. It's a little King which I think
about the hard. Anyway rock-hard hide extended
horn must be in it. Okay?
Hey, be careful with the horn as it contains Venom or poison,
whatever. Poison toxic toxin, who knows?
Alright, that does it for the Hoenn region.
Let's go ahead and move on to the Sinnoh region.
One swing of its Mighty tail can snap a telephone pole as if it
were a match stick. Okay, yeah, okay.
So, I mean, that honestly to me, that's kind of like a, like, a
step down from smashing, a transmission tower, right?
Yes, it seems like it's funny. Yeah, I mean maybe can smash the
transmission tower but it snaps the Telephone pole, clean in
half like a toothpick. Well, Mash stack.
Not like a toothpick to two very different small pieces of wood.
I apologize. All right, so make sure you
write that down in case there's a question on the pop quiz later
on that that specifically involves that okay is a
Matchstick not a toothpick, not a toothpick Matchstick, okay?
So that does it for the center region and also takes care of
the, you Nova region, and the Kalos region.
And unfortunately, also, the Lola region is no fun.
Trees from a Lola. However, there are two from the
hell are regions. Let's go ahead and read those
when it goes on a rampage. It's impossible to control.
Yeah. But on the presence of a
Nidoqueen, it's lived with for a long time, Nidoking calms down
so that's really cute. That is swag.
Yeah, I guess I guess. So it's nice.
Well, yeah, the only thing that can calm it down.
Emotionally is this lover well, known.
No, no, no, we never said that, we never said that.
It's a ditto Queen. It's lived with for a long time,
no mention of a romance so it can be, it can be, it's Mom,
it's sister, it could be attacked daughter, it doesn't
have to be, it doesn't have to be a lover, okay?
I mean, that's all I can really happen to be in the no Queen,
maybe it's because noodle Queens automatically kind of have that
soothing nature. I was gonna say why can't like
an 80 King that it's live with why can't like one of his bro
homies like calm them down or something but why does have to
be Enid a queen but probably because of the nurturing nature.
Am I right? Maybe.
I don't know if it doesn't, it doesn't explain why or how and
they do claim that it has lived with, for a long time can calm
it down. It just that it just that it can
do that. Nice little ear massage, what do
what do we do it? Oh, well, there's nothing little
about those years but the must know, the massages little but
that's what I meant the massage is.
So just grab those ears. Okay.
Hey why don't you get, why don't you get nibbles back out here?
I think he should know. I know what?
I don't think I could. I need a stepladder to get up to
those years. I think we better.
Not sure. Yeah, I'm glad I don't really
enjoy your ear. I'm not a queen.
You sure. You don't like it.
Close to the head of an ID. I'm you know, I'm good big.
I'm good. Toxic spikes.
I'm okay I look I got bitten by a Knitter ran mail and it just
healed up like recently after like two two and a half weeks.
So I really don't think it's a good idea that I completely
forgot that even happened. That's right, that's where I
mean, that is where nibbles gets his name nibbles.
Yeah. Because he's quick, and he's
very quick to bite you. His name is nibbles Nimble.
Full name Nimble, nibbles Nimble nibbles.
All right, there's one, there's one last Regional pokedex entry
here, please. Is let me read it, okay?
Thank you everybody. Shut the fuck up and it'll King
Prides itself on its strengths, its forceful and spirited and
battle making use of its thick tail and Diamond crushing horn,
are you okay? You said it's sick?
Professor know, sometimes, you know, I just got a like, add
emphasis to words. They're really important.
Okay. Yeah.
So what was the word, again? Let me write it down for my own
benefit here. Was it as What back?
Okay. So let me write that exactly.
Yeah. There's like, there's like like
five or six eyes in there. Okay, one woodfox will say, I
wrote down. I wrote unto me.
Write down few more one can also say voluptuous I would not say
that because it's not in the Pokédex.
Don't add scraper this. Yeah.
Who are you being weird? You get your poke doctorate?
Yeah, I have followed sighs. Not yet professor.
Whatever my writer 15. Yeah, yeah yeah.
Again, we must maintain this. This was it six feet of
distance. We are still within in the midst
of all horrible. Horrible, Toros Rampage.
As of ravaging, the Kanto Countryside.
I we may have we may forget about it from time to time, but,
you know, it's still here. We still need to follow the
rules. It's easy to become complacent
in this distance. All right, let me go ahead and
read the unique Pokedex entries here.
There's two of them. The first one comes to us from
ashes Pokédex. It says Nidoking the drill
Pokemon Nidoking swings its large tail about to create
distance, then charges in with the full force of its body
behind it. The next one comes to us from
Don's Pokédex, it says, Nidoking the drill Pokemon one swing of
its Mighty tail can snap a telephone pole as if it were
nothing but a Matchstick. So that's very, very similar to
the center region, all right, country.
So, is is done from the scenery. Region.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, my my keys.
He probably. Yeah, he probably.
Yeah, Don has a woman. What does a girl Don's?
A girl that's Don is a boy's name.
Dawn is a girl's name. It is not a boy.
Don is a girl. My cousin knows her.
She's friends with her. Donna's of girl.
Look it up, kid. Look it up and her look it up on
the international student database.
Don is a girl I promise. Okay, let's let's move on with
class enough, enough distraction.
Let's go ahead and read one unsourced uncredited article on
Nidoking and then we move on to. Well, let's just say my favorite
part of the lesson who knows what it is the time where we sit
down and we talk about her music Yes.
No, I can tell you, it's not that no Curtis.
The Kumbaya circle is after class.
We've discussed this at length. We have it every week.
Okay. This article says, Nidoking is a
large bipedal purple Pokémon, it has narrow eyes.
Large spiny, ears fur, like, Tufts on its cheeks.
Oh, I guess it does. I guess, I thought those were
spikes but I guess it's fur. Wait, what's fur?
The things on the sides of his cheeks.
That's for okay. All right, sure.
I mean, Look pretty hard to me. Again, this is hate.
We have to look at this with a critical eye.
Hey, yes, dear. You gonna suddenly I just, I was
just saying. Hey, yeah.
Hey, yeah, hey, how's it going? Okay, has fur like, Tufts on its
cheeks and a short snout filled with pointed teeth.
There's a long venomous horn on his forehead and a rigid, spines
down its back, grey plates, cover its chest and belly.
And there is a gray, rounded spine, on each elbow what are
called a frame, but not, you know, Oh whatever.
Knocking down. No, this is definitely not
cream. This is not cream.
These are that was a very egg egg shell and it.
Ok. If they know how to get.
Okay. King had that was definitely
cream armor on him, not gray. It was gray, for sure.
Do you want me to get them back out here?
No, you know what? No, I don't think that's
necessary. All right, moving on.
It has each hand has three claws while each foot has only a
single hoof like mail. It has a long powerful tail.
Okay, it's out of that sentence. No king is a male only species.
It is said that it'll kick. His tail is capable of toppling.
A metal transmission tower. In fact I would say that it's
confirmed because it isn't the Pokedex to therefore it must be
confirmed. Correct.
They don't King uses this tale to smash construct or break.
Well, I mean snatch smash contract.
Then break it does. All three of them in order but
whatever the bones of its prey and enemies.
The tail can also be swung to create distance between us foes
before noon, King charges. It's still like, hide adds to
its powerful rampaging charges. They do.
Kings horn is powerful enough to crush diamonds.
Nidoking is known to be very proud of its own strength.
When and it'll King goes on a rampage, it becomes impossible
to control only an ID, o Queen can calm it down from its
Rampages. Little King has strong acid
within its claws. Wow, okay.
Well, that's, that's not written anywhere else.
I don't know about that. Yeah, I don't know about That
being the result of an evolution via evolution stone Nidoking is
rarely found in the wild though. They can be found in Savannah's
complains. Okay, yeah, let's go.
So that does it for imagine it have to be a cargo plane.
Oh God. No plane does in Meadow is or
Fields. It doesn't.
Oh hi like a like a like a field.
Okay. Yeah.
That's like a I feel the very boring unassuming feel like a
grassland or something. Yeah if you yeah sure you could
say that grassland sure. Yeah sure I met.
Oh okay. So that does it for all the
information that we have on metal King so as is tradition,
it's time to figure out how much you've learned and I do that
with the tried and true method of a pop quiz.
Yes, there are the excited, excited cries.
I'm so used to when tonight announced a pop quiz.
So you know, the drill by now, go ahead and take out your Rotom
laptops, a pen a pencil, make sure you I calculator with you,
always in calculate, I got it, got it out, bring some wite-out
to because you know, occasionally you make mistakes
and you gotta, you know, I guess white out your Rotom laptop
screen I was gonna say, why would I To do that, you know?
Just, you know, it's just a case just in case.
All right, I mean, that's how I take care of all my mistakes.
I just wipe them right out of Mike laptop.
That's why you look at his laptop and just covered in white
space. That's why he can't spell.
He can see his fucking scream. Damn thing.
It's amazing how much he can do with that laptop, if I'm being
honest. Yeah, okay.
Question number one, yes. What is the one thing that can
calm a rampaging Nidoking? Calm down.
So both of the answers are in. Thank you, Corbin.
Thank you, mr. Curtis, let's go ahead, the
question, of course, was what is the one thing that can calm?
A rampaging Nidoking down. Corbin responded with a
Nidoqueen companion. It's known its whole life.
Mr. Curtis responded with the one thing that can turn down the
heat on a ramp agent Lang. Knitter occasioning?
Yeah. Is its longtime Nidoqueen
cohabitation Partner. All right.
Yes the answer is a Nidoqueen is lived with for a long time.
I'm tempted to not you know give give Corbin this one.
That would be that would be up to you, Professor.
Oh, come on. So it's not that it's Nona.
Get the Pokedex is very, very specific on this.
It is in the presence of a Nidoqueen.
It has lived with, for a long time, not at all, life, a long
time, and Lived with not known fine.
I mean it's so I mean that that distinction is important.
I feel like it's better. Those are two different things.
Now I don't know if it would make a difference to be honest
but I am still going to give you half credit their Corbin.
Well if it lives with it and knows it, it's whole life.
So it's kind of inclusive in my right?
No, that's not true. You can you can live with
something you haven't known your whole life.
Right? Mr. Curtis have you known your
spinarak for your entire life? Whether there is one, I mean,
Jerry, it's how could it be? How could it be possible that
you have a spinarak that you've known for your entire life?
They're like, what's their lifespan like 23 years Max?
Oh no. I mean, you know, as long as you
love and care for them, they continue to grow and to, you
know, but there's no formal Dominator.
Yes. Yeah.
So you have once been recognized on your whole Life named Jerry.
Yes, his name is Jerry. He's been there as long as I can
remember. How far back can you remember?
That's the real question is a good question.
I mean, you know, Jerry Jerry's, always been there looking out
for me. Let me just put it like that,
okay? And carbon II don't think Jerry
is real. Oh yeah.
Jerry like the imaginary friend that he's concocted.
I think you're right. Sure, buddy, Jerry.
Yeah, he's there for you. He's definitely live that long.
You know Jerry Jerry is I'll bring him around next year.
Okay, question number two. When confronting a Nidoking,
what is the number one thing you need to watch out for?
In other words, what is the most dangerous part of a Nidoking?
According to the Pokedex entries that we've read?
Did you hear that? They're there.
They're building a new poke Center here in the city.
No really? Why would they do that so big?
They need several of them? Yeah.
Well I mean where's the closest Pokemon Center where we are?
It's literally like on the other side of the city.
Yeah. But which is what?
Saffron City. That's where we are, right?
You always miss Professor. You have a terrible memory.
But yeah, Saffron City, okay, yes.
Yeah. Who's the gym leader here again?
I know we have a gym leader. Sabrina Sabrina.
That's right. That's right.
She still around.
She's still around. She's location.
Yeah, the the gym leader for like years cheese, cheese day,
if you love what you do, you don't work a day in your life.
She's good at what she does. God, I wish I loved what I wish.
I loved what I did. Wow.
That's I'm sorry, Professor. It really depends on the
students that I have at any given moment.
Let me just say it's been, it's been a rough 34 weeks.
Okay, well, I have both the answers in the question, of
course was when confronting and Nidoking, what is the number one
thing that you need to watch out for Corbin responded with its
tail? And it has like like a thousand
exclamation points behind it. Curtis responded with the Numero
Uno. Big scary thing to watch out
for, on each Nidoking is it's big.
SEC, juicy tail tail is capitalized here for some
reason, but yes, that is exactly correct.
You, we all need to be very careful about extremely powerful
tail. Because what if you could just
pull something off the top of your head?
What is one thing then it'll King could destroy with its
tail? No problem, I will see you soon.
Pull medal to get a transmission tower.
Also yeah. Yes.
There's a there's the two things
that we know for a fact, a little Kink and Destroy easily
with just its tail apparently. That's all this confirmed that
it can destroy well. Also the spines of its enemies.
Oh yeah, of course yesterday. Yeah, that's a full full marks,
are both of you on that one. Let's move on to question number
three. This is a fill in the blank.
There's two blanks here. Sometimes he's too much.
Make sure you listen. Yes.
Listening when an employee when let me start over when an
opponent, Blanks Nidoking will charge in for a tackle that is
strengthened by its blank. Fuck say, the first say it
again, when an opponent blanks Nidoking will charge in
foreclosure saying blinks but with a weird accent, no I'm
saying blank. But with an s on the end I know
what an opponent blanks. What what signals what's signal
is Nidoking waiting for before it goes in for the Oh, there
there is a signal middle finger. No, that's what your pick, you
betcha that give it another kingdom little finger.
And I just rushed, and it's like, my guess is our okay?
We go ahead. I'm gonna do what I normally do
and put them into the, the blanks here.
When this comes from Corbin when Anna, Own It attacks.
Little King will charge in for a tackle that is strengthened by
its hate. Haha, burning rays that exists
with decided it. Okay.
I mean, yeah, dude, it's just a really grumpy old man.
Funny. Good, good funny answer but it
is. I'm sorry.
Incorrect. Oh, I know I had no idea.
I could remember I'm sorry. Okay.
Every Curtis's.
When an opponent, Which flinches uncontrollably at the sheer
might have Nidoking will charge in for a tackle.
That is strengthened by its hard steel like hulky body hide
Jesus. Yeah.
Okay. It's a, when an opponent
flinches little King will charge him for a tackle that have
strengthened by its rock-hard hide.
Okay. I had a feeling some of the
armor hide in there but I had, no, it flinches.
I completely forgot. Yeah, I did.
I think there's only like, maybe one or two Pokedex Where did
mention that which is why is perfect for a pop quiz?
Because right now, it's sometimes it's the hardest
things to remember, but, you know, I just remember.
And I don't suck Professor. I suck one of them korben
korben. Don't say that.
Now, you know, if you ever come face-to-face limit, okay?
First of all, you are gonna die. I'm sorry, that's just, that's
just what's gonna happen. But to prolong your life a
little bit more, you know, when it swings his tail that you do
not flinch, not even a little bit.
It. I'll spit.
Yeah. And give him the middle finger.
Yeah, swings its tail finger. Okay.
So this next question you were going just a little bit
different from what we normally do.
So instead of giving you a short answer question, this is I'm
going to I'm dealing this, a long answer question or more
like kind of like an essay question.
Not now what we do before with the hypothesis they ask you to
close. Thank God.
This is a little bit more. A little bit more directed at a
specific thing. Now, there isn't there isn't a
correct answer to this. I just want to hear what you
guys think about because it's something important.
I feel about Nidoking that isn't really covered in any of these
Pokedex entries. Are you going to Great us?
How are you gonna greater something similar?
Okay, everybody stop talking. All right, she's a professor.
I don't know if I can handle a long-form question.
Yeah, I know your answer there normally, so sure.
Short Curtis. How we, how you going to grade
this then I haven't. I haven't decided yet.
You know what? Maybe by the insightfulness of
your response. Flying by the seat of your
pants. I like your teachings.
I mean, I'll be honest Corbin, not much can save you from how
you're doing on this quiz. Good.
Yeah. Okay, so let me go ahead and
read this this essay question. Why does Nidoking evolve when it
interacts with a moonstone? All right, so this is not in any
of the Pokedex entries, but it's a true fact that if you, if you
bring a moonstone to your Nidorino, it will evolve into a
NATO King much like knit arena with Nidoqueen now, there is
nothing in any of these Pokedex entries.
That would suggest why I did. Oh, King is a attached it to the
moon. In that way, I'm very interested
to see what you you too. May think about this.
I am so excited. Oh here we go.
Okay, so it's the curse has submitted his answer.
Alright. Let's go ahead and read them to
the long form of question that I posed to my aspiring students
here is why does the O King evolve when it interacts with a
moonstone Corbin responded with? For the same reason, reason,
that Nidoqueen does, they either came from the Moon and evolve
from a moonstone that helps them ignite their original lunar
powers. Or the moon has special powers
that help evolve a specific focus on like Nidoqueen King and
Nidoqueen. Um, I talked about this already
like in a discussion and one of our previous classes I believe.
But yeah that's I mean I think I think the moon must have some
special like power or some element in it that helps certain
Pokémon reach their true potential is what?
Okay, I'm trying to get at. Okay.
And you believe that and it okay, I did.
Cleaner. Yes.
They are there in that category of moonstone, evolving Pokemon.
Yeah, well, I mean, I mean, we, that's a fact that we know.
All right, that's less insightful than then just
stating facts that we already know.
But I do. Well, they could have come from
the Moon. That's my whole point, maybe.
Because I do like, I do like that original thing that you
said, where it's, they eat the cake.
They came from the Moon and evolve from the Moonstone that
helps them ignite their. Original lunar Powers.
I think, doesn't just saying and, you know, we could Probably
a confirm or deny that by figuring out when we first see
you know Nidoking and it'll Queen appearing in the wild and
I think that's that's something potentially testable and I think
that's a good answer. Thank you Corbin.
Well that you're welcome. The first part of your answer
was a good one. The second part was a little bit
vague. Yeah.
Yeah I guess I could erase it. You want me to race?
A no no. I don't want you to race it.
What's written is written and I will I will stress in the future
to not answer my question. With two answers, just give me
one as well. All right, whatever.
All right. Curtis responded.
I'm sorry, mr. Curtis thank responding with
Nidoking evolves, when it touches them in stone because,
because it's the long-form descendants of a mute - orotate
A, that a rat attacked. By the way.
That's how many Prime's Errata that mutated after the chunk of
space. This rock hit Mount Moon, many
eons ago. This is also what caused the
Neato tribe to develop their, large ears and venomous spines
and large ears. He's hurting her choice like it.
Yeah, thereby do have two large years to well, you stay, you
said, large ears are so nice. You said it's why there's
there's a large year and then there's a venomous horn, slash
pine and then another large. But you said, And venomous
spines and large ears. It would be their large ear and
venomous spines and large ear. This is what you're suggesting.
He goes on to say their bodies mutated to his stand, the
dangers, and rigors of space adventures and travel.
Okay? Well, hold on, where is the
space adventures? And travel coming from?
You never suggested that the fuck, you think, nigga, kings
and queens are flying around in space ships.
Now my man, no. Crazy's.
Okay. What does crazy?
That's crazy. But that think the craziest part
of this is that he thinks that NATO the Nitto tribe is
descendant. From a mutated Rattata.
I think I mean that's a pretty wild Theory.
That's that. Get it out.
I don't like it. Nope.
And I'll say this, I'll say this, it's fun.
It's a lot of fun. And I think you think that's
wait. You think that's less realistic
than that? They just came from the Moon.
I think them coming from the Moon is entirely plausible.
Yeah, you think there's Pokemon? Living on the moon.
Corporate. We have other Pokémon that did
come from the Moon. Yeah, you don't know that I've
heard rumors. I think it's much more likely.
Let me if I may I think it's much more likely that the moon
rock with its special Moon Rock Energy, okay, which is apparent
because the rock induces a, an evolution in these Pokemon that
when it struck the Earth, there was a poor innocent, rotate.
A that was around. Moon at the time that was just a
regular Mountain. This is called Mount that is
exposed to this raw Moon energy, which caused the rotated to
mutate into a stronger more resilient, you know, spiny spiny
covered armor plated version of itself with the idea being that
it's its body form would be more appropriate to deal with.
Exposure to scary things from space.
Now, that doesn't mean that the rotate a was going to go to
space is just it got hit by that Moon energy.
So it's body was getting ready to protect us from something.
Did you drink? I have to question you just did
you sniff Gary the Shroomish on the way to class today are
ground? And not my question is less
insulting, I think. Okay.
Why why ratatata? Why you think?
It's just because it's also purple.
It's okay. That's it.
That's it, that is it for all intents and purposes a rodent
Pokemon. All right.
Why would you not think that it would come from a more reptilian
Pokémon? Like, I don't know, Ekans, or I
don't know cyl and it well, because need a ran, right?
Male and female are look like, obviously.
Like small rodents, they have, there's tiny, they have the big
teeth, like a rat, a tat tat, a, I mean, the pre Evolution,
right? And it Iran and the Loretta, the
rotate. I do have a lot of close
similarities, I would say, okay, fair enough, I should also
mention, I should also mention, we just call it a moonstone.
It doesn't necessarily come from the Moon.
Well, I mean, I don't know. I mean, any description that we
have about the moonstone is that it's a quote-unquote peculiar
stone that is as black as the night.
Guy, right? If you look up at the moon, it's
not black. Well, okay, so I'm now, I'm not
saying no, I'm not saying that a moonstone doesn't come from the
moon, but, you know, it does have mad Moon energy.
What, how would you define? Moon energy.
Your Curtis. What is mad Moon energy?
Can I ask you that? I mean, it's it's listen.
It just makes my moon M. Go crazy, that's true.
I gotta get me one of those. All right, I'm giving you both
full marks for that that sweet. Sweet.
And not not as much because you both did very well.
But more as much because I did kind of spring it on.
You always have a, you know, a little road Professor but that's
okay. Well, that was rude.
It's just asking, you know, I'm asking you to think on your
feet, which is something that, you know, is important for a
Pokemon trainer, right Corbin? I mean yeah to a degree.
Yeah, I guess I you know, that's fair.
That's a fair assessment, Professor.
I will get, I mean. Now you could think that.
I mean, that's fine. Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Calm down. Calm down that.
Does it for today's lesson, any of you students at home, have?
I'm sorry, I'm forgetting. I'm forgetting.
The most important part of lesson can either of you guys
tell me what Pokémon were talking about next.
I'll give you a hint. We're finally out of the Veneto
Squad. All right.
We talked about them all, we talked about a missing, it was
our good times because memory I learned about Nidoran the NIT
Arena and then it'll be clean and then it around.
Then the Nidorino the Nidoking. Cause I feel like today we just
learned about no talking, just remember that those were good
times. No listen I said answer the
question, of course out what are we learning about next?
Fuck. I think you mentioned it earlier
in class Machoke. No no we're not learning about
Michelle, not quite yet. Curtis mr.
Curtis would you, how would you like to wager a guess?
Are we finally going to talk about Nitto Prime know?
I said, we're out of the Narrows.
We're not talking about a woman, it has, there's no no Prime.
Then again, now that being said, we have not been to the Moon, I
know they're working on us. They're working on space travel
in the Hoenn region, but they haven't gotten anybody to the
Moon quite yet. So there could be a dope Rhymes
just roaming around it, huh? That'd be sick though.
I see that but now we're not talking about little Prime the
fictional Nitto crime. I don't know.
Okay, well you know what, I can't thank let's let's just
save us some time. Gonna tell you.
We're learning about Clefairy. Yes.
You, I'm sure you all know the cliff areas, but know the
chances that you've seen one extremely low.
They are very rare Pokémon what? We'll learn all about that next
week. If you guys have any questions
for me, go ahead and you can gmail me, which, of course, we
all know stands for was it was it Corbin gang Gourmet?
Oh yes, yes, Gengar mail you can email me at wo Pokémon at
gmail.com. You don't have a gang are male,
