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 by Alo G Joining me here in the classroom
today is of course my wonderful teaching assistant, Mr. Curtis.
Mr. Curtis, please introduce yourself to you know any any new
virtual students that we might have.
Hello there, I'm Mr. Curtis and like this he's buffering.
Sorry. Energy that the professor is
bringing. Whoo.
I got to crank the bit rate down a little bit so he can load
faster. Wait, Mr. Curtis is a robot?
Are you finally admitting it? Hello.
No, it's just wait. I turned it down to my bit.
Right, too slow. Mr. Curtis, are you Okay?
Is he okay? Professor, what's going on?
Has Mr. Curtis ever been OK? Is there really?
No, but no. We're just doing a fun goof.
It's it's just a goofy goof. Corbin come on, that's.
Not funny, Mr. Curtis. Do not mess with me.
I have a fear of robots. Don't you cross him.
Yeah, don't cross me. I have a fear of robots.
Oh, you OK? Now that's interesting.
Hold on. So also joining us here in the
classroom today is, of course our young trainer and training,
Corbin. Good one.
Hold on. Introduce yourself and then
explain your fear of robots. I do.
Hi, what's going on everybody? Trainer and training here.
The youngest in the classroom, but also the brightest.
I will say, yeah, I have a I do have a little bit of a fear of
like robot takeover. A little bit.
I I got a little bit creeped out when we played around with
Magnamite. I didn't voice those concerns
cuz I didn't really baby cuz it sounded like you were you were
totally into at least Magnaton. I wasn't a Magnaton.
It felt less. I don't know robots.
They're not robots, but I'm talking robots on biological
creatures, right? I'm thinking.
Like that are made out of metal and magnetic.
Right. I'm thinking like science
fiction, like Boo Boo, Bop. And then they destroy the whole
planet, you know what I mean? Like that's that's that's what
keeps me up at night. Just OK, I guess.
You know what children have you know, irrational fears.
So. I think it's very rational for
your brand. What for?
My brand? Your brand of being a child.
That's right. I don't ever really call that a
brand, but okay, yeah, your other brand is half Mr. Mime.
Wait, wait, wait. No, I'm not.
Hey, hey. You caught me off guard there.
I wasn't paying attention, Professor.
I am not part, Mr. Mime. I am a full blooded human born.
That's baby sweet. I don't know.
That's what your enrollment paperwork said.
Well, it's a little half human and half Mr. Mime.
That you forged it. That's a lie.
I'm full of human and I wish people would stop.
Me. No.
Your father filled it out. That's what he signed.
Yeah, that's when we started the second semester.
My dad has been gone for SO. That's his palm.
That's his palm print right there.
Is my dad? No, that's no, that's up there.
And I've seen, I've seen Mr. Mimeblood a lot, and that's
definitely Mr. Mime Blood. Signed in Mr. Mime.
There's a lot to unpack there. First of all, that that is
definitely not a human hand print, because if it was my dad,
it'd be a human hand print. That's a Mr. Mime one, right?
So yeah, your dad. Your dad?
That's not. I'm done.
I don't. Know Pop of Mime.
Pop of Mime. He's he's conceding he is half
Mr. Mime. No, thank you.
Listen, you know what, Corbin? Even if the Mr. Mime isn't your
biological father, which it is, he still raised you, Corbin.
And I think you should respect your mom's Mr. Mime.
I wouldn't. I wouldn't say raised me.
I would say he did a little bit of nurturing, but I wouldn't say
he raised me, if that makes sense.
He was there, throwing up the throwing up the Shields to block
the angry Torosses when you bloodied your fingers, making so
many hats, Who who stayed up all night with you and made some
more. And Mr. Mime, I assume I don't
know your life. The.
Mr. Mime did, but that doesn't make him my biological father.
OK, that just makes him a temporary Guardian for the time
being. Wow, what?
What an endearing title you've given him.
I'm sure he'd love to hear that. He knows where they stands.
They have me right right to them every single week.
And I should I include that in my?
He knows where he stands. I don't think he does.
He they always say in the letter
that they send to me, your mom says make sure Corbin is eating
all of his meals. And then after that it says Mr.
Mime, Mr. Mime, Mr. Mime, Mr. Mime, which of course everybody
knows is tell my son I love him and Mr. Mime speak well.
He's delusional. Don't listen to him.
Wow. Wow.
All right, well, let's get off of that topic, cuz we could talk
about that forever. But instead, what we should be
doing is focusing on a lesson that I'm gonna give to you guys
about Pokémon, weirdly enough. Woo.
But that's one more. Here for today.
One more sidetrack. Before we do that, I have a
Gengar mail here that I would very.
No, you don't. No, I do, OK, I do.
So you're just lying today? Is that that's your thing?
Today, I don't know what. No, I'm not a liar.
You can call me a lot of things. What a liar.
One more of those. I'm putting you in the corner.
You can't put me in the corner. Weirdly enough, this.
Yeah, there are. There actually aren't any
corners in this room. That is objectively not true.
There's a corner there. And there's there right there.
Now this is, it's over there. Purely spherical room.
No, it is not. There's that corners.
You can't. You can't say that there's no
corners on the sides because there's cuz you know it's
spherical and then the roof just blends into the wall balls and
that just blends into the floor, so there's.
No, that's not what the artwork that we shared on social media
posted or that artwork you know darn well, is a great depiction.
It's, it's the Canto. It's the Saffron City Learning
Center, right? It's not the Golden Rock City
Learning Center branch of the Saffron City.
Sorry, you're right, you're right.
Sometimes I forget where I am, the GCLC BOT SCLC, which is
where we are now. Right, Yeah.
You're right. And where you had to climb at
through a hatch on the side, wall, ceiling, floor to get
into. So please keep it straight I'm.
Going to pretend I understood that.
Anyways, what were we talking about?
Yes, OK. I have a Gengar mail here that I
would like to read. OK.
It comes to us from. And they say this.
I don't say this. This is them.
It says you're loyal subject Mat van.
All right. So thank you.
Thank you. I assume it's a virtual student,
but who knows? So the Gengar meal starts off
with Dear Now, and this must be a typo.
This must be a typo. It says Dear Professor Curtis,
Mr. Corbin and Jacob. Okay.
All right. Then I think that sounds about
right to me. I think that sounds good.
Yeah. Of course you're taking the the
first name of your father. No, Mr. is a.
Mr. Mr. Corbin. No, no, your name is half Mr.
OK, well then if that's the case then Mr. Curtis is part Mr.
Mime. OK, cuz he is Mr. Two.
No, he has professor in front of it.
Oh, but he does have Mr. Curtis normally.
I see. What?
You're saying Normally I'm saying that he's not part mime
and neither am I. Mr. is a term of formality, OK?
And I, because he knows where I stand.
The title, the title of Mr. was given to me by the Mr. Mine
community as a sign of respect, and I'm going to need you to
respect that Corbin Okay. I may not be biologically a Mr.
Mine like you, Corbin, I'm not. But but as greater, as a greater
part of the Mr. Mine community, I've earned that that Mister
title. He achieved that rank from the
Mr. Mine Council. That's right.
So please, yeah. Also, just being called Jacob
just doesn't feel right anymore. No, no, that's unacceptable.
It sounds weird. It's like being naked.
Just throw it. Just throw this one out.
We can't read this one.
No, I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna read it cuz it's it's
important for next week's lesson.
All right, so Matt Fan says I. One of your humble students
noticed the other day while reading ahead for this lesson
that Typhlosian has two forms. There is apparently an ancient
Hissuyan floor form. Seeing as a method of time
travel has recently been discovered in the PAL DE region,
is there any way that we can someday see some of the Hissuyan
forms of these Pokémon in class? We did.
Did we? I'm pretty sure we brought out
of Hissui in Pokémon at some point.
I'm pretty sure we did. Right.
Maybe a picture of 1. I know you said, you said with
like a lot of conviction that we did and now you're and now
you're rolling back on. That I know for a fact.
We've talked about his suey and of course we we've talked about.
Yes, where we brought one out. I swear we brought one out once.
Debatable. I don't know.
Well, you know what? Other virtual students who seem
to have a much stronger memory of previous lessons than we do?
Let us know. Yeah, they know more than we do.
Well, of course. Well, I mean, maybe more than
you do. What?
OK, Matt. Matt Van seems to have come to
the conclusion that we haven't. So you know, that's that's a
good, that's one that's one out of 1,000,000.
So yeah, there's millions. Listen.
Millions. Sorry, millions.
There's millions listening right now, Mr. Curtis.
That's just ridiculous. There's not.
There's not that many. What are we talking about?
What's up? Nothing, Nothing.
What you say? So Matt Vans Genger Mail goes on
to say I feel as though there would have to be some way, legal
or not, for you to obtain these ancient forms for educational
purposes, similar to how And again, they're doubling down on
this, similar to how Professor Curtis obtained the fossils from
the field trip. I don't like it.
Yeah, he doesn't like it.
He's listening to the wrong class cuz this is not right.
He yeah. No universe is Mr. Curtis.
Miss Curtis, a professor. Okay an alternate timeline when
everything goes wrong. Maybe don't listen to him and S
recorder. She'll get there one day.
One day. One day.
That's the one. No.
That's the day that I leave. Well, he wouldn't be the
professor of this class. That's right.
No, of course not. Randy Spinner ACT rating 101.
Who knows? I did think you said Spinnerack,
reading 101 for a second there. I thought you did too.
But that's a 102 class. Actually, Okay that's reading,
reading Spinnerack text. Wait a 102, not a 201.
No, it's a 102 Okay, so it's still first semester.
Right first semester, but like second-half, it's like the it's
the writing intensive course of. Matt Van is listening right now,
waiting for the rest of his e-mail.
OK, sorry, sorry. So Matt, Van says.
Similar to how Professor Curtis obtained at the fossils from the
field trip. Remember that, Mister Curtis?
I only did everything by the books.
No, you did not. You have been guilty of so many
crimes. It was with great effort that I
obtained legal permission. Nope.
For those fossils, Is that why they were locking down the
museum right as we were leaving? That's right.
They they wanted to make sure that that I got out safely with
the precious. Cargo Mr. Curtis As we were
leaving after the recording, they brought in a helicopter.
Okay, it was a big deal. I'd well.
You know, people only bring in helicopters when it's a big
deal. They thought he was going to
need air transport. That's just why that's right in
the helicopter. And extra support for my, you
know, making sure that they got safely.
Let me let me finish reading this Gengar mail, please.
Okay don't. Let me stop you.
Don't let me stop you. Yeah, I know I was.
I was expecting a little bit. Of no, I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't do. No.
Please please please. Miss Curtis, you're holding him
up right now. I'm gonna ask you.
Corbin. Corbin.
What he said. After you, Corbin.
After you, Professor, please. Thank you.
All right.
And so Matt Van finishes their Gengar mail with this.
And I said finishes. So you have to let me finish.
All in the name of educating your fine young students, right?
Anyway, just something myself and I'm sure plenty of other
students hope to see someday. You're a loyal subject, Matt
Van. Well, you don't see any of this
Matt Van, so that's well, I mean see, well, I mean see in spirit
I guess. Hearing is seeing, you know.
But I see you, Matt Van, please don't do that.
Put that down. Not OK, Matt Van, you put that
down right now. Matt Vans, Matt Vans, stop
scrolling on your phone and listen.
Hey, Matt Van, could you stop scrolling on your phone for a
second and pay attention to us reading your Gengar mail?
That would be please. Yeah.
Hey, Matt Van, are you driving right now?
Pull over. Pull over the side of the road
and go back and relisten to this.
We worked very hard on it. Thank you, Matt.
Zach, appreciate the effort. All right.
We'll we'll wait. Right.
And John, who's doing the dishes?
Pay attention. Stop what you're doing and pay
attention. Please.
You're working at you, John. Of our millions of virtual
students, there must be one who's named John and.
There's got to be a couple. There's got to be a couple.
You did. You did miss a spot on that on
that on the left side. Take a a second pass at that
plate there, John. OK, we we've put this off long
enough. Let's let's read some focus.
Centuries. Does anybody know?
Oh, by the way, Matt Van, thank you so much for your ginger
mail. Thank you, Matt Van Gold Star
for you, Gold Star. Well, I mean, that's up to Mr.
Curtis. I don't know, Matt Van.
I wasn't too fond of you taking away my title and giving it to
Corbin. Well, actually, Corbin just took
on the name of his father. It wasn't the title so, but the
professor deserves. The respect that he's due of the
professor. So I'm sorry, Batman.
I'm gonna have to limit you to a Silver Star this time.
All right, Well, you heard him, Matt.
Then you'll need. No.
Gold Star? No, don't worry.
You'll get extra credit. I think this is extra credit
worthy. Okay.
Let's move on to the Pokémon we're talking about today.
Does anybody know who that is or what that is?
Now? Just as a reminder, we did learn
about Synda Quill last week. And if you're about to say, if
you're about to think that Deciduai is the evolved form of
Sendaquil, you're wrong. You're you're incorrect in that.
Sometimes they we don't follow exactly the evolutionary treaty
though, Professor. However, if I were to tell you
that we are learning about the evolved form of Syndequil this
week, what would What would you say to that, Mister Curtis?
Well, and and your shirts? That's not a deciduai.
You're an idiot. You'll never be a professor like
this. All right, so it's it's not Sid
you. Why?
Corbin? Do you have a guess?
It's definitely infernate. I think I was thinking it's.
Villain would be a good one. We are, we are years, perhaps
decades, away from learning about.
A lifetime. Some would say a lifetime.
An 11th birthday for me? Yeah, so.
Like, never. So this is gonna be okay.
So naturally this is gonna be embroor, is that right?
You're guessing all of these different of all forms of.
Okay okay fire starters and all right, you're close.
I'm getting closer. Hold on, hold on, Combuskin.
We were learning about Quill Lava I.
Was gonna go there. I was gonna go there next.
The volcano Pokémon. OK, so I didn't evolve this in
the quill from last week. Whose name was?
Was it Fumbler? Fumbler.
Yeah, good old fumbles. But I do have a quill lava here
today. And this pokey ball, do you
really? We all ready to see it.
I Are you ready, Mr. Curtis? I'm ready.
I'm so, so hyped for this. No, no cap.
Now remember this. What?
Mr. Curtis, you don't sound cool saying no cap.
Leave it, leave it. Leave it to the youngins in the
room. Okay.
I'm sorry. I thought.
I thought I would try and, you know, resonate with my homies.
So boring. That's not even like the hip
lingo today. I'm going to.
I'm going to collapse into myself.
I'm going to throw up. Please stop.
You're not cool.
Please stop. You're melting his.
You're so. Not cool, Mr. Curtis All right,
yeah. They're, they're your words are
resonating with with Corbin's bones and you're.
Making it stand down fam we're. Gonna take this.
There he goes. There he goes.
We're gonna take this L He's a puddle on the floor now.
Take this L so Corbin can get the W.
Oh God. Oh God.
Oh God, no cap, no cap. Please.
Okay. Sorry.
I'm sorry. Professor, please.
All right, compose yourself, Corbin.
I have a Colaba here today and I want you guys to remember that
when I do this, when I throw out the Pokémon, it's to observe it,
kind of look at its natural motions and it's habits and
describe what it looks like. It's not to put your fingers in
places that it that don't. Why are you looking?
At looking at you. What?
So if you're there. Oh, I did.
Distance from the Kulaba. Keep your fingers away.
That would be great. OK, all right.
I won't go anywhere near the Kulaba.
Put those grippers in those pockets.
All right, fine. All right.
Here is it. Here's the Kulaba.
Fiery little Spicy little is that back.
Corbin I. Saw that slender.
He's cool, he's streamlined. He's ready to go.
He's got fire on his head, on his butt.
He don't know what's what. He's got a a Sorry, sorry,
sorry, Sir, calm down. Hold me back.
Hold me.
Back Go over here, Corbin. I'll hold you back.
Sorry, Sorry. Sit down.
Yes. So Colaba is very It like it,
like Corbin said, has fire on its tail and fire on its head,
That thing that that also rhymes.
Yeah. Hey, leave it to me.
Leave it to me. Listen, I can do it you.
Yeah. It's not illegal for me to do
the rhyme because I don't have to do the time.
Why do you sell? Are you stuttering again?
What is going on? Is it sloppy mouth?
My rap skills kills all the that's it.
Colaba, Burnham. Burnham will take him out one.
Take him out. Grossom, Grossom.
OK, so when I said that, did you guys see what Colaba was doing?
It was shooting out fire. Professor, please turn it down.
All right, all right. Heel.
Colaba.
Oh, gosh. OK, it's good.
Professor. Professor, please.
Well, listen. Nobody wraps in this classroom.
Nobody. He can't listen.
If Corbin can't do it, we shouldn't.
We shouldn't tempt him by also doing it.
I agree. I think that's a very fair and
equitable choice. Play the music, Porsche.
Porsche. Play Porsche all.
Right. Thank you.
I love. I love that music.
I know what I love more than the music is saying how much I love
it after it plays. Yeah.
All all right. So yeah.
So Colaba kind of like when I told it to attack Mr. Curtis, it
being very responsive and very obedient turned its back quickly
and like just increase the intensity on its flames and
that's kind of like it's it's go to move of course.
But we'll learn a little bit more about that going forward
let's. So we said fire on the head,
fire on the butt. Any any else?
Anything else to describe the Colaba here?
Other than that, just just kind of boring nothing.
No interesting markings there, like a spinner rack or, you
know, bug type. It's got a cream colored belly.
I swear I've seen this on the telly.
Hey, sorry, what? I'm not.
I'm just that just happened to rhyme, OK?
Yeah, using your Galerian lingo, tell Tell me about Tell me about
this show you watched on the telly.
Well, it was a tournament and I did see somebody use a Cuava in
there. You didn't ask if I'd seen a
Cuava before. The answer was yes.
I have seen one, so yeah. I mean, I keep asking if you
guys have seen one, but Mr. Carters has seen all of these.
So yeah, to some extent. Hello there.
Hi. You look like your name's Eli.
That's where we're going with the name, by the way.
Okay. Great, because it rhymed.
Because it rhymed and also. Eli is the name of one of our
patrons. Really.
Wow, What are the odds? Wow, what are the odds?
It's just nice how that works out.
All right, so Eli, the Colaba. I think that works.
But yeah, Colaba has a cream belly.
It has count. Much like cinder Quill.
It has light or dark blue for on.
Its like prematuring from its nose all the way back to its
tail behind rear. Whatever.
You. Want to call it?
I think that Colaba is also. Referred to as a well, it's
called a quadrupedal Pokémon, but it does tend to stand up on
its hind legs. So right, right.
I've seen that, yeah. Yeah, Now, we did say that
Centroquil was a bipedal Pokémon that tended to lean forward on
its close to its front legs, right?
Four legs, yeah, four legs I think is the the term for it,
yes. But yeah, so that kind of like
reverses here. What's with Quilava or Eli,
which is interesting. Anything else you guys want to
talk about? Before he's got, he's got like
his ears. I like Eli's ears.
Very cool, very small, very cute.
It's a pretty like, it's not like super intense of a Pokémon,
but it does have a cool look to it.
But the ears make it a little bit less intimidating.
It's like. It's very streamlined.
It's very like Agile. Very agile, very fast, ready to
go in for the kill, but it's got some haunches.
He's got, yeah, he's kind of shaped like a pear a little bit.
And that's alright, we love that.
We love a pear shaped boy. Triangular in nature, I would
say. Right, Got that triangle build,
you know? Yeah, and maybe that goes on a
Turt. That's a Turt.
Got that? Got that triangle?
Yeah, I think it could take on a Turk Turk Week professor.
What I say was that could go on a T-shirt but.
Triangle build. It's got that triangle shape I
think is what I said. I don't know.
Never mind. If you can't remember it, then
it's not good enough to go on a T-shirt.
Sorry it didn't make the cut, Professor.
I'm so sorry. We haven't had a lot of T-shirt
ideas recently, I feel like. No, we have.
What are you talking about? We had the Royal Boys the other
day. That was a.
Pretty, yeah. We had the royal boys with a
spinner rack wearing a crown on it.
Of course, yeah. Sorry.
Never been down, never gave up, you know.
We got a lot of good ones. What was your one from the MU
lesson? I'm innocent, but I've suffered.
I'm not gonna lie, that's probably top five favorite
T-shirt ideas. All right, I think Cola was
getting a little bit irritated with our.
Sorry buddy. With our rambling, sorry, go
ahead and put Eli back into the pokey ball and we will move all
right. Bye.
You won't move on. From my heart I'm gonna.
I have to patch my coat now. Thanks, that's.
OK, at least it didn't burn you. So this this doesn't get
counted. If anybody out there may or may
not be doing a injuries counter, this doesn't just doesn't count.
He's not injured. It was just his jacket, but it
injured my my soul. That doesn't count.
We all know that's not real. You don't have a.
Soul, Yeah, you don't really have one of those.
At least it didn't burn your hot rod flames trench coat
underneath your regular trench coat.
That's right, my backup trench coat.
Right Trent Coat he got Trent. Yeah, the Trent.
Coat Yeah. It needs a trench coat.
Okay okay everybody focus up, focus up.
Starting off in the Jocho region for these Pocodex entries, the
first one says be careful. If it turns its back during
battle, it means that it will attack with the fire on its
back. Make sense?
Makes sense. Or maybe it found something on
the ground and it is just turning around to look at it.
Could have found a penny, I mean.
Yeah, maybe it found a pen. What's a penny?
Wait, what's a penny? What's a penny?
Yeah. She was my neighbor back head in
Canto, but I admit like a little coin on the ground.
Okay, sure, yeah, sure. You know that makes sense.
The next entry here says this Pokémon is fully covered by non
flammable fur. It can withstand any kind of
fire attack. Now OK, yeah.
Now this is this. This brings forth some questions
because there's a very there's there is a famous fire type
Pokémon that can, and if I recall correctly, melt anything
with its. I don't know if I anything.
That's a lot, You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know if I'd say that.
But OK. Well, I mean you might not say
that, but the Pokedex entry said that and we're talking about
Charizard by the way. So do you do we think that?
If a Charizard blew its flames, which can melt anything on a
quill lava, would the quill lava be affected?
I don't know. What's an instoppable force
meets an immovable object? That's Yep, I think a black hole
would form. They just they just can't.
They both. Poof.
Yeah, for sure. They just poof.
Just thought.
Archaeus comes out and he's like, no, I'm surprised we've
never seen a Colaba and the Char czar to ever show up in a
Pokémon tournament before. Well, I mean, I think there's
there's there are strong rules on that because if it happens,
you know, it's kind of like it's kind of like flipping a bag of
holding inside out. It just explodes.
Yeah, so a good question if anybody else, if any other
virtual students have any thoughts on if a Cyndaquil
that's not Cyndaquil. If a cool lava takes a fire
blast from a Charizard, will it melt or will it repel the fire?
Let us know by sending us a Gengar mail.
At wwepokemon@gmail.com Woo I got it.
Right. And we'll read it in
approximately 3 months. Maybe send it's a drawing of
what it looks like when it happens.
Hey, we do a little bit better than three months, all right.
I'm not gonna lie, I think most people agree with this.
We're pretty bad. That is true, but there's
there's a lot of, there's a lot of ganggar mails.
Guys, I know we've said this before.
I'm gonna say it again. We get a lot of emails.
It's hard to it's it's hard to read them all in class.
But we try. We try.
But we love you for it anyway. Thank you.
We read all of them. All right, so I'm remind me not
to plug the Gmail at the end of this lesson.
Plug it. Plug it.
I just did it here. Plug it again.
No, all right, the next Pokedex entry says.
Before battle, it turns its back on its opponent to demonstrate
how ferociously its fire blazes. It's like an intimidation
tactic, pretty much. Yeah, I just kind of flaring up
a little bit like, hey, yeah, Chuck this at.
Look what I can. Do don't want none of this.
Who's you get this out of here. You want you want to get buck
boy like that. Come Buck.
Right you. Want to get Buck?
Yeah, what does that mean? Means you want I.
You wanna You wanna go with me? You know what I mean?
Like that. Like you wanna you wanna come at
me? Stop trying to make buck a
thing. It's it's never gonna be a
thing. Alright, go ahead and sit down.
But I was already sitting. He was already no Miss Curtis.
You were the 1 standing up. Miss Curtis, please.
How about you sit down? You sit down, I guess, But right
away, Professor. Keep doing that.
Stop doing that. All right, moving on to the
homeland region, Pulava keeps its foes at Bay with the
intensity of its flames and gusts of super heated air.
So I can use gusts. I don't know what's park flying
type. Super heated gusts, yes, but
it's not flying type, it's just fire.
Okay, This Pokémon applies its outstanding nimbleness to dodge
attacks even while scorching the foes with flames.
So it could do a little bit of this, a little bit of that it
could. Yeah, so, like, say, I don't
know, A. A BE drill comes at it with a
with a twin needle and it just jumps out of the way.
And while it's like, you know, doing a front flip over the BE
drill, it's also shooting at its flames and scorching it.
That is really cool, the picture look.
That's cool. That's cool, right?
I could. I could totally see myself with
a Colaba. Oh yeah.
It seems like a lot of work though for a lot of fire types.
They just kind of open their mouth and shoot fire out the
front. So like you.
Know well, but that that's the thing though, being able to
shoot. Fire out your back means you can
save your mouth for the biting part, so you can burn and bite,
you can eat, you can eat and shoot fire at the same time.
You can burp and shoot fire. You can you can, you know, yawn
and shoot fire at the same time, recite poetry and shoot fire at
the. Same time?
Yeah, exactly. So it's far far more efficient I
think. Or read poetry.
Or write it. You know, if you're a scholar
like me, you could write it. The scholar.
Artist. Artist An.
Artist of the written language. I am an artist of the land.
Yep, that's me the. Sure.
All right, so that does it for the hohen region.
Pokedex entry is moving on to the Sinno region.
It says it intimidates foes with the heat of its flames.
The fire burns more strongly when it readies to fight.
Yep, I mean it's sito comes with new entries, but there's
normally things you've already heard before.
Nothing normally that crazy in these entries.
They're not bringing that much to the table.
I have an ancient Tisuian text here too, which is cool.
Hey. It says this creature's fur is
most mysterious. It is wholly impervious to the
burning touch of flame. Should Colaba turn its back to
you? Take heed.
Such a posture indicates a forthcoming attack.
Take heed. If you see it's back, watch out.
Yeah, I mean pretty much it's it's just saying things that
we've already heard but would like fancy writing.
If you see it's back, watch out for your front.
I like to the impervious. I'm going to add that to my Word
book. That's going to be a tshirt for
sure. How he's playing out.
There's here's his word book right now.
Oh, hi. Hey, Corbin, take take a quick
peek over there. What other words?
What other words does he have in there?
Mr. Carters, what is Booble Snoogle.
What does that mean, huh? Why don't you take a guess?
Corbin I feel like it's a type of Berry.
It sounds like it's a type of Berry.
Is it good? Is it juicy?
Is am I? Am I close?
Well, I'm pretty sure it's just a nickname for his, for his
spinner act. I think.
I think about 90% of the words in there are nicknames for
spinner Act. You got it.
You got it in one, Corbin. What were you thinking?
Yeah, it sounds. Like a Berry Boo Boo, Schnoogle
is obviously a a wonderful name for pet spinner Act, OK?
OK, sure, it's OK. And once and you just added
impervious to that. It's weird that you didn't know
that word before Mr. Curtis, cuz well I I knew it but I forgot it
and I just needed to, you know, get it back into my regular use
repertoire. So you might say.
OK, well, you know what? That's great.
I love. I love that you do that.
You know, even though it's your 7th time taking this class,
you're still learning new things.
Every lesson, every day, every hour.
I watch you when I watch you, Professor.
I learn all the time. Hold on.
Don't. Don't watch me, please.
Every hour of every day. You gotta stop watching people
when they don't ask to be watching.
Yeah, that's gotta be like illegal or something.
It's a real problem. It's really bad.
All right, so that does it. So there aren't any other
regional Pokedex entries for Colaba.
There's nothing. From Alola, which is sad.
I I miss the when Alola had Cocadex entries.
There's nothing, of course. I mean, there are they you know
about incalos at least includes it in their Cocadex.
But it's all stuff repeated that we've heard before and there's
nothing from galore, which is a shame.
However, we do have an entry from Professor Naroli.
Does anybody remember when? Naroli does the sleep one right.
He runs. He runs an Italian restaurant.
Well, he does do that. What's a what's an Italian, Mr.
Curtis? That's.
It's a type of restaurant, Corbin.
That's right. And you've never been to an
Italian restaurant. Come on, please.
Yeah. What type of Pokémon is an
Italian? There is no type.
It's a type of food. Thank you.
Yeah, Okay, okay. Good to know.
I'll have to try the one of those Italians sometime.
You should. Anyways, so Professor Naroli of
course does research on Pokémon sleep habits, his entry for
Qulava says. On a very rare occasions, you'll
see the flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.
It seems that no matter how high the flames burn, the fur
covering Colaba's body absolutely never catches fire.
That's good. That's really good because if
you, like, had a bunch of really strong flames on you, you would
want to make sure that your body didn't catch fire from those.
But here's the thing, I feel like that's not going to be
unique to just Colava or the whole Sendaquil line, cuz like.
You have so many other Pokémon that have fur slash feathers,
but they're also fire types, right?
Like, I don't know, like, I mean, like Blazekin has
feathers, Infurnape has some fur on it, I'm pretty sure.
Incinero. I mean it has, it's covered in.
Right. Infurnape has fur in its name,
so it has to have fur. Right.
So right, Incineroar has. Flameproof fur, right?
I mean, I assume. I guess so.
Well, we'll we'll get there. We'll get there and we'll read
about it when we when we do it, just.
Doesn't feel like it's that unique to this specific Pokémon,
is what I'm trying to say, that's all.
I'm saying but like, but The thing is that it can not.
It can't just prevent itself from Catching Fire from its own
flame attacks. It can also prevent any from any
gotcha any flame attacks. Yeah.
So again any and the. Question of the Charizard
conundrum remains okay, but that does it for the I guess.
I guess Professor Rolis counts as regional Polkadex entries.
I have a couple of unique Polkadex entries, most of them
come to us from Ashes Polkadex. Let's give it a quick read.
The first one, of course, comes from Ashes, Bocodex, it says
Colava, the volcano Pokémon. Colava is the evolved form of
Sendaquil and capable of incredible attacks using the
flame on its back. Yep, know that.
Incredible is such a nondescriptive word.
And I I don't. I I think the incredible thing
is the the the fur that makes it impervious to all fire.
I mean, you know, flames on its back.
It's not too different from other flame type Pokémon, but
you know, talk about that, that magical fire armor fur over
there. I'm a you know, I'm gonna have
to incorporate some of that into my fire suit that I wear when I
ride my Rapid Ass wigs. That's actually not a bad idea.
That is actually a pretty good. Idea.
That's one of the few good ideas.
Write that down in your in your good idea book.
Yes. This way he doesn't have one.
He does that one. It's it's a lot smaller though.
Corbin, you're so funny. No, keep going.
No, okay, stop. I made at least one person
laughed. John laughed.
Okay. John, have you finished those
dishes yet? No he.
We asked him to put him down the dishes so he could listen to us.
Well, yeah. No.
Well, we'd also tell, tell him to finish to get that one spot
on the on the plate. That's true.
Yeah.
So, John, go ahead, write us in, write in.
Let us know if you. Finished doing the dishes yet?
Lily, make sure you use your blinker when you're driving.
Stop it, Corbin. Stop.
Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Okay, Mr. Curtis, you will like this next Pocadex entry.
Thank. Thank you.
Coming to us from ashes, Pokedex, it says.
Quilava, the volcano Pokémon and the evolved form of Send a
Quill. Its body is covered with
fireproof fur and can withstand any fire type attack.
There you go. Doesn't mention it's magic fire
repelling abilities, but you know it's there.
Now the third unique poker century comes to us from Get
this Ashes Polkadex. Yeah, he caught it a third time.
And it's different this time too.
It says Quilaba, the volcano Pokémon and the fall form of
syndaquail. OK, that part's the same, but
this next part, says Quilaba, intimidates those with its
flames heat, and when ready to battle, the fire burns with more
strength once again. I just feel like there's more
fire type Pokémon that have more heat that they're bringing.
Well, sure, of course there are, Mr. Curtis.
This is, this isn't the fully evolved form of of of Cyndaquil.
This is just the middle evolution.
Right. Chill out.
Dude, don't worry. The Cyndaquil's got more more
bang to their buck. All right.
OK. OK.
Right. Hey, why do you start?
Try to keep, make buck happen, professor.
Well, excuse you. Fair enough.
It just, I just. I don't know.
It sounded so cool when you said it.
So it's rubbing off. Haha.
See it is working. I told you.
Don't give in, don't give in to him.
Anyways, the next Pocadex entry comes to us from, you know, some
unknown, probably unimportant Pokémon trainer and Don's Don
Pocadex. I don't know.
Oh, Don Pocadex. Can you do me a favor?
You say I will not. They're pokedex.
Yes, can. You say our name one more time.
No, their Pokedex, says Colaba, the volcano Pokémon.
It threatens its opponents with the heat of its flames.
When it assumes its battle pose, the force of its flames
intensifies. So guys, remember battle poses
are important. And she was.
She was smart and beautiful enough to study them, you know?
I mean, that's just so much about her, you know?
I mean. She didn't write this.
She did not write that entry. But she decided to include it.
No, it's once again, she just has a Poconex.
She pointed the Poconex at the cool lava and it said this thing
to her. That's, that's what That's what
this is, Professor, what do you what do you think about this
battle pose? OK, well you just just crumpled
onto the east, fell on the floor.
Like a Like a sack of potatoes. That's I wouldn't call that
about. I got my my backup, my backup
and my haunches out to to shoot my flame.
Let me let me let me try this. One no, I don't want to see no
I. Definitely no, Mr. Curtis, you
definitely did what I said, which was fall on the ground and
just crumple into a pile of. You look like a magic carp.
OK, yeah, you just need to chill out.
I'm sorry, Professor. I got to work on my battle pose,
Then I. Guess, Mr. Curtis, you splash.
And nothing happened. Yeah, yeah.
You want to give me one more? OK.
All right. Here we go.
Here we go.
Ready. Hi.
OK, this time you just put your hands into your into your trench
coat, trench coats, pockets, and then kind of did like a cool
hair flip kind of thing, which is weird because because you
don't have that much hair on your head.
No, it's a little wispy that's wispy.
But hey, I thought, I thought it looked pretty cool.
Did you think it looked pretty cool, Corbin?
It was. It looked it.
It was something. I'll tell you that much.
It was here. You go see, I think that's the
winner. I'm gonna keep that one.
In, in, in in the in the old back pocket.
Oh, he's putting that into his battle poses book.
I see that his back pocket is where he keeps that.
Oh, OK. All right, pull this one out.
Yeah, he does. He has pretty good drawings in
that. OK, All right.
While he's doing that, it's time now to move on to the testing
portion of the lesson. We've we've read all the Pokedex
entries, So what? I'm also know.
OK, you just seem happy about it to start with.
I meant, woo is it like we did it like we did the Poconex
entries? But now I'm like, no, I don't
want to take a quiz. Well too bad cuz we are taking a
quiz today. We are doing a pod quiz.
So go ahead and get out your rotunnel laptops, put away your
poconexes, maybe bring a little snack for the roads cuz you know
sometimes they can take these can take a little while.
But all right, if we're all ready, I'm gonna go ahead and
read the first question. I'm excited.
Question. This is a fill in the blank.
By the way. Question #1 Colaba's flames can
burn with more intensity when it is blank and when it is blank.
All right, so I have both of the answers.
I'm going to go ahead and read Corbin's first so I will just do
the full sentence. Colaba's flame can burn with
more intensity when it is angry and when it is turned around.
That's right that when it turns around, it turns me right round.
Turn me right round, Quilava. What on earth was that?
Was that a song? This is Curtis?
That was awful. You turn me right round, he.
Didn't have the right Melanie. Glava, baby, turn me around.
Round, round. Whoa, Professor, break it down.
No, all right, so I'm going to read Mr. Curtis's answers, he
says. Palavas flames can burn with
more intensity when it is looking to fight and when it is
trying to keep foes at Bay. Now here's the thing I didn't
that's I guess so I guess I did say when it is and then you the
blank is trying to keep foes at Bay now.
OK so here's what I have. So it's flames burn with more
intensity when it is in combat and when it is.
Asleep. We remember how we talked about
it can burn more intensely when it's at sleep.
Clearly not based on my answer. Clearly, yeah.
I have a professor. I have no recollection of that.
I gotta be honest with. Yeah, I was.
I was. I was hoping I was gonna catch
you guys with this one. You got us.
So I mean, but I will say that, you know, I feel like the combat
and intimidation could be two different answers, I suppose.
So I'm going to give you 1 1/2 points.
I'll allow it. Wait no for for me.
Wait, not 1 1/2 points. I'll take.
I'll take one. And a half.
I'll give you 3/4 of a point for this one.
There we. I'll take it.
Thank you. How about?
How about Corbin? How many does Corbin get?
I get a. Quarter.
Oh yeah, Corbin did say turned around, didn't he?
Well, like, yeah, but it turned. Around.
It really shows its flames, You know what I mean?
Yeah, you get really. You got half a point for this
Corbin. I'll take it.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Curtis.
Keeping me on track. Miss Curtis, why did you tattle
on me? I didn't tattle anything.
I just. He gave me my pointage.
I wanted to know what your pointage.
Was yeah, we had to be fair and equitable here, right?
And keep it F&E, keep it F. And EF&EF&E baby.
All right, SO question #2. Why are fire type moves
ineffective against Culava? All right, let's see here.
I'm looking. Yes, OK, both of the answers
have been submitted. Corbin says it's because it's
fur is fireproof. Yes, very good.
And Mr. Curtis says Colaba's slick, sick fire impervious fur
coat. Yes.
Fire fire. Impervious fur.
Exactly. That is correct.
I was hoping. I was hoping.
I was going to trick one of you guys into saying it's it's
inflammable. But as we all know, inflammable
means the same thing as flammable.
Sure, they both mean that it catches on fire very easy.
So keep that in mind, I guess. Question #3.
Hey, it's another fill in the blank question, Professor.
I'm so ready. I know, I know.
He doesn't really give you it. Give me the blanks.
All right, Because of its
nimbleness, Colaba can blank and blank at the same time.
All right, now I'm gonna go ahead and read these answers
because I do have them both, which is the order that that
normally goes. So Corbin says because of its
nimbleness, Colaba can shoot, fire and evade at the same time.
All right, let's see if Mr. Curtis agrees with that.
He says Because of its nimbleness, Colaba can burn
those baddies and dodge their attacks at the same time.
Yes. So the answers are dodge
incoming attacks and scorch foes with flames.
Very good, very good guys. I'm impressed.
All right. All right, this last one is a
doozy, so let's see if you can do it.
In addition to hot flames, what else does Colaba use to keep its
enemies at Bay? And that's like like away from
it and not Bay as in like a float.
Hey, hey. BAE.
OK. All right.
And so the answers for the final question are is our RN questions
RN? Yeah.
Corman did the fun thing that he loves to do, which is answer my
question with a question of his own, which immediately
invalidates the answer because it's not answer his question, he
says. You're outta here.
He says Smokesqueen. Smokesqueen.
No. Cut that out.
Squeen, Professor.
No. Come on.
That's not like Portia. My God, Portia, cut that out
please, Smokesqueen. Shut up.
Just not. Making fun of.
Him. I've been talking for a long
time, all right? God, you guys make fun of me
talking all the time. You don't even.
Never say that. We never do that.
All right, so Corbin answers my question with his own question
and says Smokescreen question mark.
Question mark question. Mark, is this smokescreen?
I don't know. I don't know.
Let's see what Curtis says. Carter says hot steamy blasts of
gas. So yes, that is that is the
correct answer. The answer is gusts of super
heated air. That's right, hot steamy blast
of because I thought it was fire type.
I mean a flying type at 1.0. Man, so unfortunately you lose
points on. That, well, smoke's a type of
gas, right? No, I feel like smoke is like
the part of fire that isn't gas, right?
It's the the ash. Yeah, the ash, maybe.
So it's. We'll see.
Maybe. We'll see.
I'm sure somebody will correct me.
Yep. All right.
So that does it for today's pop quiz.
Excellent. Corbin, you listen.
You're still getting your you're still recombobulating in this
new region, so it's okay that you.
After the break, Yeah, after the.
Break You're getting back into the swing of things for sure.
But that's gonna do it for today's lesson on a quill lava.
Does anybody know who we're gonna be talking about next
week? Oh, it's the final of all form
of Cyndiquil, right? Yes, correct, correct.
Jessie, do you? Why, no, it's.
Hold on. It's it's not for alligator,
right? Why would it be for alligator?
Wait, no, no, that's water type. Yes, yes it is.
Is it is a crocodile? We're learning about Typh
lotion, You know, that's get to a point where I'm just gonna
tell you what it is. I feel like this whole fun joke
of you guys. Not no joke.
It is no joke has it's not a joke.
That's very serious. We can only they can only not
know what the Pokémon is. So many different ways and I
really I've. Catched it right many a time.
Professor, I really think we've exhausted all the different ways
they can say the wrong Pokémon. One of these days, I'm gonna be
right. I've been right before many
times. But it's it's type lotion.
We'll be learning about type lotion.
Next week hopefully it's a fire type Pokémon that will live up
to Mr. Curtis's high high standards but we'll have to wait
till next week to find out. Until then you can contact us by
our Gengar mail. I'm not going to say it cuz I
already did say it. You can also find us on the
Flying Pokémon theme, social network site, Twitter or the so
many different links that we have on our link tree which you
can find in our description. If you like this lesson and or
any of our other lessons, please, please.
So feel free to tell other people about it, you know, maybe
maybe we can get a couple more students that way also.
Also if you know if you want to support the class, of course
it's completely unnecessary. But if you would like to, you
can find our Patreon, which is it's just on our link tree to
just find it there. But yeah, if we get to $200.00 a
month we will start a am I saying now I'm I'm not this is
what the the kids are calling. I don't really know.
It is a a. NUS Luke.
NUS. Lock challenge.
Yeah, it's a fun challenge of a play through of a Pokémon game.
You don't know what it is. Look it up.
It's fun, but in addition to that, there are many, many other
wonderful benefits on the Patreon.
You can find those again in the Ling tree, but that's going to
do it for today's lesson. So until next time class is
dismissed.
