Hello there, and welcome to the world of Pokémon.
My name is Professor Jacob and thank you so much everybody for
attending this lecture on Pokémon.
Biology, we are out. Of the classroom again, as you
can hear from the ooming and awing from from my students,
well, my students and also Mr. Curtis.
Speaking of which, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Curtis, this is my teaching
assistant. How are you doing today?
Good, good. I, I am, I am ooing and awning.
But I'm not ooing and awning the room around us like Corbin.
I'm ooing and awning you, professor, because you are the
the the the great inspiration in my life, the the one that I look
up to. Wow, that was wonderful.
That was, yes, really a feeling. Oh, look at how good you talk
right now. So oh.
He's right up in my face. Oh my back up.
Like having a desk here in. Front of how old?
Do you guys think this rocket OK?
Corbin. Also, Corbin, don't touch that,
please. Come on.
Well, I wait. That's just a regular rock.
Oh, actually, I think you brought you pulled that out of
your pocket. I think you brought it from
outside. That's definitely not from the
ruins you. Brought that rock that's.
You brought that from. A golden rod, This rock.
Oh, this is from when? This is from when we were in the
Sea Foam Islands. I recognize this.
Rock. No, that's definitely, that's
definitely from the gravel parking lot at the Golden Rod
Center. No, no, no.
That's. The I'm sorry, the where, Mr.
Curtis? The Golden Rod City Center of
the Saffron City Learning Center.
That's that's wrong. The GLC GLC GLC.
City Learning Center, branch of the Saffron City Learning
Center, as you should know. Now, Corbin, if you could please
introduce yourself and also while you're doing that to the
virtual students where we are. Okay, so sorry everybody, I'm in
awe here. So we are outside of the
classroom, we are out in the wild on a field trip today and
we are at the hold on. Let me read the plaque again.
It says The Ruins of Ralph, a place where you can find a
former adventure. No it's not.
No ruins of. Alf, that's what I said.
Ruins of Alph. He said Ralph.
I definitely said Alph, I'm pretty sure Professor, but
somebody did scribble on this. So it does look like an RA
little bit. Mr. Carter, did you do that?
I was, no, I didn't. I didn't write that on there.
But I do have to agree. I do have to agree it it is the
ruins of Ralph. Though, so no, it's ruins of
Alf. That was a.
Mistake I made, Mr. Curtis. Don't get it twisted in your
head, Mr. Curtis, but this is so cool.
Look at this. There's so many.
There's so many, like little buildings and stuff.
This is how old is this stuff? This is a guy be at least 20
years old. At least 20 years old.
I mean it's. Definitely more than 20.
The exact theory is push hard to say.
I don't really know if there was any. 30 years old is ancient.
Oh my gosh. Ancient.
It's not ancient, unfortunately. It's.
Not as a 10 year old. That's three times in my life as
my lifespan. 10 year old who's been 10 for four years now how?
Long. I don't know.
I try not to count my age. It's depressing.
This is so cool. Look at that.
Look at this rock. Look at another rock.
This rock is so cool. I love that he's so excited.
So we are kind of standing outside here, the ruins of Alf.
We haven't gone into any of the buildings yet.
We did. This is kind of, I think this is
like a protected area or some kind of like I think they're
doing research around here. Yeah, I did have to get U.S.
special permits, but don't worry, nothing there's.
A couple. There's a couple scientists that
I saw on the way in that we're also doing some research.
Yeah, they were like, they were like, you know, scraping a
little bit of the wall off into a test tube.
I saw that. I mean, like every plaque that
I'm looking at it, it doesn't seem like we know a whole lot
about this place. We just know that it's old and
that's about it. Well, the other thing that we
know is that the Pokémon that we're learning about today is
commonly seen here. Does anybody know is there?
Is it known what Pokémon we're learning about today?
Is it Decidui professor? It's not Decidui.
I I, I don't, I honestly don't know.
Is it? It's it's a.
It's a weird cryptic 1, right? So Corinne, what you're saying
is that to you it's unknown? Yeah, it's, it's unknown to me.
Thank you. Oh, yes, OK.
Yes, very good. We are learning about unknown
today. Is it?
Is it not to? No.
Are we learning about not to? No, I just, I just said it.
We're learning about unknown, although there are a lot of not
to's around. So I guess like you could be
confused, Mr. Curtis, or? Smuggle, Let's meet or smuggle.
Sounds like you're drowning. What was that?
He asked you a question, Mr. Curtis.
I said a smuggle let's a Pokémon.
Just I don't like the way you say it, though, yeah.
Always pronounce them smaggle. Please stop.
Smaggle. What?
OK, but yes, we are learning about unknown today.
Unknowns are, you know, there's a lot that we that are unknown
about them. I feel like it's kind of, you
know, funny The, the, the whoever, whoever named this
Pokémon really had a, a sense of humor to call them unknown.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I don't actually have one here
to show you. Well, that sucks.
Why? Because the.
Whole point was we came here to see one.
Well, yes, I know. And so that's why we came here,
so we could hopefully see one in the wild, in the quote UN quote
wild. But yeah, let's head on.
Let's go into is there, is there a building here that you guys
wanna? How about that one on the left
side? Could we go on that one?
The. Left side yeah, sure, yeah,
let's head on in here and Corman.
I know, listen, I know you wanted to listen to some music
on the way in, but if you could just, you could turn that down.
Sorry, I'm sorry you're. Flipping through the channels
trying to find. Some I'm just I'm trying to find
the best station that I that I'm in the mood to listen to.
You guys not in the mood for music.
Is that not allowed during class or something?
Sorry. I mean is.
Normal. This is a learning environment.
There's to be no art whatsoever. This is all science.
Man, you're really, you're really throttling me as a as a
former rapper and budding filmmaker, you're really you're
really throttling me with the limited creativity.
But that's right. Well.
I'm. Going to limit your creativity
Mr. Curtis, you know, Corbin has been such a hassle to, you know,
wrangle on these trips. I thought maybe let allowing him
to listen to some music might, you know, calm me down a little.
Bit I'm just a boy. I have such a small attention
span. I'm basically, you know, brain
rot. So I need something to keep me
occupied like every other 10 year old.
So I need to I need to play with the the knobs on this radio if
you don't mind. Thank you.
Sure, that's fine. OK, I'll tell you.
I'm gonna read some Pokedex entries here for unknown, so
maybe it might help us figure out where they are, what to look
for. So keep your eyes open and don't
touch anything. OK, All right.
Don't touch anything. Touch anything.
There might be some things in here that you really want to
touch, but just don't. All right, let's get going.
OK, the first entry here for Unknown says their shapes look
like hieroglyphs on ancient tablets.
It is said that the two are somehow related.
OK, it's kind of hard. OK, I got, I got you, I got you.
So like, what do they look like? So what can I be on the?
So I'm going to be on the lookout for an unknown.
So like what? Are hieroglyphs or unknowns
which? The, well, the hieroglyphs I
kind of have an idea of. It's like old drawings, right?
So like, but what does an unknown look like?
Well, they look as the poke at X injury just said their shapes
look like hieroglyphs on. What I mean more than that
color? I would direct your attention to
the walls in this do. They have a smell.
It's like, okay, so. They smell like one.
They smell like dustiness. That doesn't smell like 1.
So Corbin, I would take a look at the walls here.
The walls are actually covered in those hieroglyphs right now.
Right, I'm seeing that. Which, oh, that's a cool little
shape. Thing, Yeah.
Hey, what letter do you think this is?
These are all letters, by the way.
There we go. Definitely looks like a queue.
That's a cute no, that Corbin. That's an R That ones an R.
Dang, it's alright, it was close.
Yeah, well, that's so. Cool.
Look at that. What do you think it says?
I mean, it's somebody trying to tell us something.
What if it's a warning from the past?
Maybe I don't know, these ones just kind of looks like it's all
of the alphabet in order. So I don't know, this one might
be to say, hey, these are the ones that you're gonna see at
some point. Yes, this is a guide for us to
decrypt other parts of it. OK, gotcha.
OK, so I'll try to keep this in mind.
Hold on, let me take a picture. OK, well don't, Corbin.
You're not supposed to take pictures in here.
I'm not supposed to take. I'm sorry.
Yeah, the Flash. Dictates the other Pokémon.
That's right. That's right.
OK, All right. Sorry, I didn't see any in here.
I thought it was fine. My bad.
My bad.
Sorry. All right, well, we got to
follow the rules, Corbin. All right, The next entry here
says it's flat, thin body is always stuck on walls.
See, there's there's some more information for you, Corbin.
OK. And then it also says it's shape
appears to have some meaning. Yeah, OK, it makes.
It worse so they're not just random.
What meaning that is That's for you to figure out.
Yeah, that's I mean for you to read I.
Guess a message from the past telling you.
Because different types of unknown exist, it is said that
they must have a variety of ability of abilities.
OK. What do you mean?
I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
Like maybe one's good at, you know, gardening one of.
Those maybe one that's good at knitting.
Yeah, one has a beautiful singing voice.
I don't. Know one, one of them is a you
know could beat box really well. Yeah, I'm guessing the B.
One of them's really good at raising insect type Pokémon.
Yeah, that's that's the I-1. That sounds like a really dumb
1. So there's one so there's so
there's 26 total unknowns. Is that correct?
Or is. That I think there's 28
actually. So last I checked there was 26
letters in the alphabet. I know I'm only 10, but I do
know that. Now there's also ones that we
would use as punctuation. So there's a, what people call
it, exclamation point unknown. There's also a question mark
unknown. So here's my question, do you
think the unknown shape came first or do you think they'll be
based our human language off of the unknowns?
Man. Oh, Corbin.
That is, that is the age-old question, because actually start
that moving to the Hoenn region, this Pokedex entry says this
Pokémon is shaped like ancient writing.
It is a mystery as to which came first, the ancient writings or
the various unknown. Research into this topic is
ongoing, but nothing is known. Man.
We really don't know. Nothing about these guys.
This is such an. Informative lesson.
I'm so glad we came all the way here for this.
Well, I know that's, listen, I know it was going to be sparse
on the actual information. So I was like, let's see if we
can get one first hand. All right, there's method to my
madness. We, we, we took a bus all the
way here just to say I don't know what's going on.
Yeah, it was a long trip too. The ruins of Alf are pretty far
away from Golden Run City. Also the bus broke down twice so
that didn't help either. Yeah, Mr. Curtis was tinkering
with stuff back there. I'm starting to think maybe he
did it. I know I just when my when my
hands get bored they have to grab and pull on things.
That's why you got to get a radio like this one.
Look at this. See, that's good.
Here, let me let me tinker with that one a little bit.
Come over, give that. Actually found like any radio
station. No, no, no, I, no.
That's my. That's my, That's mine.
That's mine. No, hold on, Let me, let me
just. Going to break it.
You're a giant. If I take if I take the panel
off the back over here. Don't.
No, no, no, don't take the panel off the.
Back. Can you not take a shot?
He's taking my toy. I'm going to start crying
crying. Mr. Grace, he's already starting
to wander around and pick up, pick up stuff on the floor.
Corbin, don't touch that. That cow start.
Touching more OK. Corbin.
I didn't take your radio part. I didn't take your radio part.
Here, take it back, take it back.
Thank you. Thank you.
Great. Thanks.
Got really bored there for a second.
I know, I'm sure, I'm sure that's a a feeling that none of
our virtual students have ever felt while listening to these
lessons. No, no, no.
Everybody's paying attention. Everybody.
'S paying in depth attention and I hope they are because you
know, there's there's a testing portion, there's always a
testing portion. I've been keeping this is so.
Close track of everybody. If you've been listening, what
color are my shoes? They would have no way of
knowing that. You're right.
You're. Never.
That's right. I mean, I can obviously tell
you're wearing your purple and orange shoes today, so.
That's right, you got it right, purple.
And orange, purple and orange got it.
But there's it's quite, quite a combo that you got going.
On there it looks good. I like it.
OK, so I read the Hoen Pokedex entry and that's the only entry
in Hoen. I have a couple of Sino pokedex
entries here though. OK, the first one says shaped
like ancient writing. It is a huge mystery whether
which or unknown came first. Again, exactly the question that
Corbin just asked, I think, right?
Yeah. And the question that we already
said we don't know the answer to exactly the next one says this
is important. This is interesting stuff.
They seem to communicate among each other telepathically.
They are always found stuck on walls.
Well, let me keep looking. Let me scratch and sniff a few
of these hieroglyphs here. Don't scratch.
I'll probably just sniff then.
That could be a, that could be a unknown.
You don't know. That smells like 1000 year old
writing. I don't think that's an unknown.
Corey, what are you expecting Unknown to smell like?
History. I don't know.
Smells like history. Yeah, that's like what?
Dust. Dust.
Yeah, dust and venomoth balls, usually.
Cool. That's what my grandma smells
like. Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it is. You really got to keep those
Venomoth balls in your closet. Otherwise, you know, you might
just open up and there's Venomoth.
Just full of venomoths and no clothes.
Full of venomoths eating your clothes.
Can't have that. That's that's bad.
The next entry here from the center region says when alone,
nothing happens. However, if there are two or
more, an odd power is said to emerge.
That's like me with my friends. Aw, I think there's a magic
power when we're all together here.
No, he said. Friends.
Well, I mean, yeah. So what?
So wait. Courtroom.
What odd power? When I'm with Gordon, I feel so
good about myself. But what?
What about when you're when you're with us?
It depends on the day, but sometimes I leave my self esteem
a little bit crushed when I leave class.
But today's good because there's stuff to look at.
I have a radio so it's fine. Look at this.
What what it what it look at What are you playing with the
radio again? Or I'm.
Turning the knobs just. Turning the knobs OK, well, as
long as you're paying enough attention to answer the the you
know to to to do well on the testing portion.
You got it. You got it.
You got it got. It.
So what do you guys think this odd power is?
This odd power that is said to emerge when more unknowns get
together. Two more are unknown together.
The magic power is the power of the written language.
That that's a big, that's a big statement, Mr. Cruz, cuz you're
pretty much saying that language, the language did come
from the unknown. No, it just mean that like you
can like take a bunch of unknown and put them in a particular
order and save information that way and convey that to other
people. Again, you so it's I mean,
honestly, let's if we think about it logically for a second
here, I think it's pretty obvious that the ancient
writings came after the unknown. The ancient rating seems based
on the unknown it would be they're based on.
The unknown. It's not a mystery. close it up.
Yeah, lock it up. It would be insane if it was the
other way around, if we were writing things and then this
like amorphous Pokémon was like, yeah, I'm taking that shape.
I'm going to be that shape now. Yeah, that's how that looks.
Cool. I like that shape.
I like the way that R looks. You say that, but like there are
Pokémon that have some about at you know and are shaped like
things that things that humans humans have made.
I guess so, right. So like, I guess it's possible
that like yeah, give me an example.
Shrubbish. Shrubbish.
Yeah.
Is that right? It looks like.
Like. Shrubbish.
It looks like a garbage bag. I mean, we didn't make garbage
bags to look like Shrubbish. There's that one Pokémon that
looks like a car. Like a car engine.
Yeah, like a car engine, there's that, but.
Which came first though? Did that Pokémon come first?
The car engine. Or the Pokémon.
You're probably right. Probably right.
Cars have been around forever. Yeah, so they probably looked at
that Pokémon whose name is something that I know, and I'm
definitely not looking. Cuz you are the Pokémon
professor. What it's name is?
Cheating is. Cheating real.
Of course it's of course it's a Rev of room.
Why would I forget? Because it's just the noise that
cars make. How could you forget, professor?
Of course it's a Rev of room. So we probably like saw that and
we're like, we could make this, we could do this.
And we did it. So my guess is that we made the
written language right, OK. Right, OK.
I think that we made ice and then Reggie ice came about.
Well, hold on. I.
Was halfway through my theory and Mr. Curtis is like step
aside, step aside, I got. This I just had a good theory.
I just had to get in here. All right.
Well, let me hear it again. Let me hear it again, Mr.
Curtis. I think that we made Ice and
then Reggie Ice came along and copied us.
I mean, that's my you. Think we made ice?
You think that? Yeah, humans made ice.
Ice. Never.
Existed before humans. To cool down water enough that
it got into a solid-state. Yeah, there was no ice before.
The war in South Poles did not exist.
That's right, There was no there was no ice before Corbin bought
all that jewelry. That's right, that's right.
Now it's gone because a dirty Mercro took.
It what about like a candelor or a lamp?
It right, those are candle lamp Ant.
Those look like things, yeah. Yeah, OK.
Can I say my theory now? Can I say my theory like you
interrupt the halfway through? I'm so sorry.
Am I allowed to say my theory
now? I'm just going to go hide in the
corner now. I'm so sorry for.
This knob isn't working on my radio.
Oh, that's because that's the off button, Corbin.
Oh, OK, let me turn it back on. OK, here's my theory.
It's the students have been waiting so long to hear it.
That's going to be so waiting. Underwhelming.
I think we came up with a written language, right?
We made the alphabet, we made all these letters, and then a
witch cast a spell and brought them.
OK, you lost me all. Right, I think.
I think a witch cast a spell and brought them to life.
I think that is absolutely the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I think werewolves inhabited the ruins of Alf many, many years
ago, and they wrote the language first.
Mr. Curtis, where are you going? He's in the corner, he's
sulking. I went in the corner because I
interrupted the professor. I just wanted him to know that.
That's such a great theory. Nobody can hear you.
Scratch your stuff. A few.
Nobody can hear you. Scratch your stuff.
A few hieroglyphs. Please do do some work.
I'm doing the most out here. They smell.
Yes, you're just, you're just fiddling with the knobs again,
Corbin. Sorry, I mean do I'm doing both
at once? Professor, can I can I come back
now? You're the one that imposed this
on yourself, Mr. Curtis. I don't.
You can stay, you can come. I don't care.
OK, I'm. I'm going to come back now.
All right? I'm back now.
I'm so sorry, Professor. Great.
Wow, you. Jeez, you got here fast.
You were so far away. I got, I got long legs.
I mean, what do? You.
Yeah, it was one step, step. He vaulted over here.
OK, so that does it for the Poker X entries in the center
region. There's nothing new in Unova or
Kalos Alola. They are not aware that this
Pokémon exists. That sucks.
Gala also copied entries that we've read before, so we don't
need to read them. There's an entry here from the
Hisui region. It says It is hard to believe
these strangely shaped Pokémon are truly living creatures.
I've pointed out that the species is many forms resemble
writing from other lands. No one will take me seriously.
Oh, I've I've been there. That's like an unrelated note.
That's like an unrelated to the other thing he said.
It's just that in general, nobody takes them seriously.
But what? OK.
So it's definitely older than 30 years because I'm pretty sure
his sui was like 150 years ago, right?
Yeah, and but he's saying when he says like he's pointed out
that species is many forms resemble writing from other
lands. He's not saying ancient writing
from other lands. So like it's kind of like modern
day writing from other lands. So it might be around the time
that this professor was writing these entries.
Right. Potentially.
OK, so there's nothing new from the Paldea region, and there's
also nothing new from the Lentil region.
However, I do have some unique Pokedex entries here if
everybody wants if anybody wants to hear them.
I'm a professor. I'm so excited.
OK so the first entry says unknown.
The symbol Pokémon unknown are said to have existed since
ancient times, quote UN quote ancient times.
They are many in form and shape, but little is known about this
mysterious Pokémon. Well, professor, you should put
your witch theory down in the Pokedex as one.
You should do your own you. Should put that somewhere on one
of these rocks and people will believe it.
Years. From now?
Well, maybe. How about Maybe I'll put it in
the Canto Pokedex entries for unknowns, since we don't have
any of those yet, right? That's good.
Many researchers believe after visiting the ruins of Alf, that
unknown. Witch cast the spell.
And that unknowns are letters kissed by a witch, and they
turned them and alive. Kissed by a Witch T-shirt.
Boom. Sell it, bought it, pre-ordered
it. Bought it, sold out, they're all
gone. Sold out already?
All gone. Everybody bought one.
Everybody listening bought 10. We're so rich.
OK, The next entry comes to us from Don's Pokedex.
Baby girl, I need to write a letter to her in just unknown,
you know, drawings and. Still get it and be like.
Romantic, my love for you stands the test of time.
Write that in unknown lettering. Boom boom, that's pretty good.
And then she'll look at and be like, did a witch kiss this
letter? Why they all?
Look. Letters look weird.
That's gonna be a new saying years from now.
You're witch. You get kissed.
By a witch, what's wrong with you?
Yeah, I think just as good as a cup calling the bowl toasted, as
we all like to say. Yeah, that's not a thing that is
made that up, Mr. Curtis. It's so stupid.
That's so right. Just like calling the cup toast
the bowl cup cup, calling the bowl toasted.
That's right. The cup, the ball calling the
cup, cup toasted. Yeah, sorry, I must have
confused it earlier. It's suddenly the bull calling
the cup cup toasted. I don't know why it's not a cup
calling the bull toasted. Anyways, Don's Pokedex says
unknown. The symbol Pokémon Unknown used
telepathy to communicate with each other.
Many different shapes of unknown have been discovered.
Many. They used telepathy as.
Many as there are letters. To communicate with each other,
and then each other to communicate with the rest of us.
That is actually pretty funny. Good one.
OK, so the next entry comes to us from Go's Rotom phone.
It says Unknown, the symbol Pokémon, a psychic type Unknown,
can't do much on its own. When two or more gather, they
can produce a mysterious kind of power.
Again, I would love to know what this mysterious power is.
I mean, if somebody has like seen it or witnessed it, they
could just describe it to us. I mean, it seems pretty common
that like more than one of these things are together, since
everybody says we've seen multiple types of these.
I don't know. All right, so that does it for
all the Pokedex entries on on Unknown.
Now I do. I actually do have a virtual
student submitted essay that I would like to read about
Unknown. Oh, OK, alright, yeah.
Sure. So this comes to us from
Theodore. I believe we've read Gengar Male
from Theodore before. Yes, Teddy.
OK, yeah, Teddy, it says hi. I wrote an essay on unknown and
I hope you will read it in class.
Well, unfortunately, we're not in class right now.
I mean, I'm teaching class. We are in the ruins of Alf.
Also, I don't know if we feel like reading it.
Yeah, maybe I don't want to read it now.
Maybe we changed our. Minds, we want to get this radio
working on staying around here. Corbin's top messing with the
radio. Corbin Radio.
I already figured it out. Hold on, the noggins are so fun
to touch. Actually, I think I actually
heard something other than static there for a second
Corbin. Oh yeah, yeah.
I don't know what that was. That was weird.
OK, anyways, so this says that the essay goes Unknown is a
psychic type Pokémon. Unknown is the Pokémon that you
can find in many different shapes and forms.
These resemble letters, but although it has many different
forms, all of them look about the same.
All right. Well, that's your opinion there.
Well, that's kind of that's a little demeaning to.
Say well they back up their claim by saying all of the forms
are black, thin, and have a big round eye.
Unknown is pokedex #2 O1. Unknown's egg group is unknown.
Not like the Pokémon, but like. But we don't know.
So it's it's not UNOWN like the Pokémon, it's UNKNOWN.
So we just. Don't know it.
OK, the different forms of unknown resemble antique writing
forms, although it is unknown, the real unknown, not the
Pokémon, right? Which was their first unknown or
the antique writing symbols? Even though lots of research has
been going on, it is still unclear.
But my theory is that Unknown is actually a Ditto that saw these
symbols and tried to turn into them because it thought they
were Pokémon. There's 28 different forms of
Unknown. Write that down, Corbin. 2020.
I think this is and this is Theodore saying I think unknown
should be a bug type because it has long legs in a few forms
just like spinner rack. Yeah.
There we go. We got it in All right.
Well, wonderful essay, Theodore. Of course, you'll be getting
extra credit for this work, Mr. Curtis.
What do you think? I think Gold Star here.
Gold Star has been earned. Yeah, I think so.
If if any potential or any student that wants to add more
to the bug type roster, I'm all here for it.
I. Mean I don't know if it really
should be considered a bug type. I mean, let's call.
Everything a bug type. Look at those long legs.
Look at those not. All of them.
I mean, I wouldn't even really call those legs, I'd just call
those like appendages. Which are they're.
Little stumps which are legs. Just cuz I sure appendages legs
are appendages, but not all appendages are legs and legs are
appendages. Hold on, hold on.
That's something here with the radio.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hold on, Hold on. Oh, wait.
That. Is what?
We see. Let me tune it to hold on.
I'm at 13 point 1.230. There we go.
Hold on. That's coming in.
I got some. 13.5 I hear something.
You see that? No, no, it's out.
It's out. What is that?
That sounds familiar. This is before you got that.
Terrible scar on your face, that professor, that that sounds like
you. It was going.
To miss us. Wait, hold on.
Is that? Professor of IT I.
Don't know. That's me.
That's definitely Mr. Curtis. Must be.
Coming through the radio is that, is that us?
Whoa, look at the walls. Oh my.
God, Oh my God, we got the walls coming alive.
Oh my, they're coming alive. Oh, they came, They came out.
They were. They were on the walls the whole
time. Oh my gosh.
Man, look, that's the letter A. Mr. Curtis, explain, explain to
our virtual students what's happening right now.
The the the what we thought were just iconography on the walls.
It turned out they were unknown. And the, the mysterious a
transmission that was coming from the radio earlier seems to
have woken them up. They're, they're, they're,
they're floating around crazy and they're, they're arranging
themselves in a shape, in a word.
What are they? Oh, they're spelling something.
They're spelling what, professor?
What are they spelling? What?
Are they spelling Corbin Glizzy? Glizzy.
Wow. That's what I see.
Like just get hungry. Yeah, yeah.
Wow. Yeah, maybe I'm.
Just reading it wrong, but that looks like AG.
That's an L, that is definitely an I.
It looks like 2 ZS. I'm not sure.
I do see that's definitely AZ. I'm about the second one looks
like an N sideways and then that's definitely AY.
That's glizzy to. Me.
Yeah, I do see. I do see an A letter F and a
letter U swimming around Mister Curtis.
They're still funny. They're probably trying to still
fun. They're oh.
Yeah, they. Don't.
That's probably where the tennis though there should be a. 10.
That's so cool. It wasn't fun, so that's.
A T-shirt, right? Lizzie be fun and it's still.
With the unknown writing and everybody's like, hey, it must
be something really important. Gets me hungry every time.
You wear that shirt, What do those that say Lizzy funds?
And then they just go why? Why?
I don't, it's unknown to me. Unknown.
Unknown is unknown. Unknown.
I mean, do we need to describe these Corbin?
I mean, you can if you. Want.
They're letters. They're black letters.
Guys with eyes. Yeah.
I don't know what else to say. OK.
OK, Corbin, pick out your favorite 1 real quick and tell
us what it what it looks. Like OK, I really like the you
one because. You like, it's kind of like you
like me. And it has these 3 little no,
the one that's the letter U Oh, OK.
And I like that one because it looks like half of a steering
wheel or something like half a pirate's wheel.
And it's like it's like the bottom part.
It's like. It's almost like.
A weird smile. And it's like these three prongs
connecting it to the eye. I also like the T because it
looks like one of those little detonators that you see on old
cartoons for like PNT dynamite explosions.
That 1 is really fun. You also you can't go wrong with
just the symmetry of the O Beautiful.
Well yeah, can I see what my favorite 1 is?
Yeah, sure. Go ahead, my.
Favorite one is the K because it looks like it's got a little
mouth that's like a like a little it's a little bit like a
dodo and it's. Actually or something.
Yeah, I also really like the. There it is right there.
I like the F1 because it looks like a little side duck.
Oh, it does look like side up. It's a Christmas side up with a
big. Head my my favorite one is the
exclamation mark because like it looks like it's, you know,
exclamation marks usually mean excited, but it looks like it's
so done so. Bored.
The duality of unknown. The the duality of the
exclamation mark unknown. Contrast.
Oh, I also like the V. Looks like a kettle.
Bell a kettle bell. But you workout with, yeah?
Yeah, workout that. I've never done that.
Before or the eye. The eye is just a just a stick.
Just a stick. I love that one.
It's. Pretty good this.
So quick, look at the swirling around.
Whoa, that's crazy. Somebody go grab those
scientists. Ohh, they're back on the wall.
Never mind. They're and they kind of just
like slid right back in too. That's.
Weird. That was weird.
OK, all right. Anyways.
OK. All right.
So everybody focus up. Everybody focus up, the lesson's
not over. Oh, my radio broke.
No. It's short circuited.
When did that happened? I don't know, after I heard our
voices and then wait, I think you.
Might have wait. I think you might have like
thrown it in the air when you saw the word glizzy.
You just got so excited. Glizzy fun means so much fun,
yeah. You're right man, I thought this
was the sturdy 1. I even got a carrying case for
it and everything. It didn't work.
I'm taking this back. Yeah, get a refund on that.
OK, so now that we've had our fun, it's time to focus up.
We have to do the testing portion.
So. Well, here I have some.
I have Mr. Curtis. I know you have paper, so you
don't need to pull any out. Yes, but here goes Corbin.
Here I have some scratch. OK, I can draw on the wall.
Don't draw on the wall, please. If you could use if we could get
the unknowns back out here, and you could submit your answer to
me in unknown writing, that'd be awesome.
Would love to. My radio's broken though, Dang.
It OK so we are doing a pop quiz today in case anybody.
Who? Come on quiz, tease me with a
good time quiz you give me. You give me a field trip, you
give me cool history and artifacts.
You read an entry from Dawn and then you take it all away with a
pop quiz. I'm ending up with the best
thing, which is a pop quiz. All right.
Is everybody ready? Yes, I want to die.
Let's go. Great question #1 How do
unknowns communicate with each other?
OK, let's see here. Both.
OK, So Corbin handed me his paper and Mr. Curious threw his
paper at my face. Al, that was me.
So no, I didn't need to. I was.
I just folded it up in the paper airplane to like, land it in
your hand, professor. No, this is a crumpled ball.
This is not. I don't.
Have you ever seen an airplane, Mr. Curtis?
But it's not this. Nope, not that I'm so sorry,
I'll. Try better now.
So the question was how do unknowns communicate with each
other? Corbin said Telepathically.
And Mr. Curtis said they speak in the mind or telepathically.
Like how we talk at night. Right, Professor?
No, that's right. No.
You and I have great telepathic conversations every night.
I have. I don't know who you're talking
to, but it's not me. It's not you.
No. But who?
Who am I going over lessons plans with every night?
Well, you, you, you leaking our lesson plans.
Well, I'm just, I've been discussing lessons plans.
I thought it was you, Professor. Lessons plans.
So wait, are they are they the lessons plans like the plans
that belong to the lessons? No, like the plans for the
lessons. The Lesson plan?
Yeah, moving on, it's. Like you both got it right.
It's telepathically question number 2, when will unknown
display its quote UN quote mysterious power?
OK, I see you guys are kind of looking at me.
Did you forget that you need to hand me the paper?
I'm going to hand this this one to you on a pillow right here,
professor. Pillow.
That's some people call it a pillow.
A pillow. Don't.
Don't ask. Don't ask what I stuffed it
with. You don't want to know.
Oh God. It's moving.
It's moving in my hands. Oh, God, no.
OK, it's hold on. Let me, I'll put that back in my
bag. Sorry.
He just punched it. Yeah.
It's just he had a good old punch and then put it back in.
Mr. Curtis, what are you abusing in there?
Nothing, nothing is. Please just go on with the with
the lesson I hated. That, and the question was when
will Unknown display its mysterious power.
But Corbin said when two or more get together.
And Mr. Curtis said the superpowers activate when 2 plus
unknown were to be together. That was weird.
Yeah, I think that's a fair enough answer.
It says when two or more gather that is.
Correct. You guys both nailed it.
You're doing very well. I mean, honestly, there's not a
lot on unknown, so it's not surprising that you're getting
this question #3 where are unknown always found?
Always found. According to the Pokedex, where
are unknown always found. Thank you, Corbin Curtis.
I see you winding up. Stop it.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Stop. Hand it to me here, you.
Go. Here you go.
Thank you. All right.
The question was where are unknown always found, Corbin
said. On walls and Mr. Curtis says
stuck tight right on the walls. I mean, yeah, that's it, That's
it. I feel like that was the hard 1.
You guys got that one pretty easily so.
Thank the. God, I'm expecting full marks on
this one. The last question is yes.
Yes. What thing do researchers
believe that unknown is related to?
What thing researchers believe that unknown is related to?
Okay, okay, now you're both throwing them at me.
Stop it. Why are you doing this?
That's fine. Look, I.
Beat you this time I. Think we'll see.
Before you did. We'll see what we'll see how
this reflects in your grade. The question was, as I unfurl
Corbin's paper here, what thing do researchers believe that
unknown is related to? Corbin said.
Alphabet. Alphabet.
And Mr. Curtis said, I mean, the crazy glyphs on the ancient
tablets, they be related question mark somehow I don't I
don't know if alphabet is quite right.
I meant the Curtis glyphic alphabet.
Mr. Curtis, you were quite right.
You know, it's probably fine. I would have.
I would have liked for you to include the word ancient in
there somewhere, Corbin. Oh, here, let me see that paper
again. No.
No, it's too late. No, it's too.
Late. OK, here we go.
Corbin, what happens when you when you submit things after?
All right, you're right. Fine, I won't.
OK. I'll give you phone marks, I
think. I think that's that.
Probably works. It's field trip day.
You gotta be nice. But hold on, Professor.
Yes. OK, Give Mr. Curtis you you
don't think this is fair and equitable?
Play the music. OK?
Explain. Explain, Mr. Curtis, Why is it
not? This is not a debate.
This is not that, you're right,
this is not a debate, but I mean the would you say the glyphs on
the ancient tablets are the modern day alphabet?
I mean, pretty much, yeah. OK, then I guess it's fair and
equitable. For you.
All right, play the music again. Play it again.
OK. All right.
So good job you guys got you guys got full marks.
I love to see it. It wasn't it wasn't a
particularly difficult pop quiz. I mean, there's not a lot that
we know about unknown, hence the name.
All right, but that's going to do it for today's lesson on
unknown. Does anybody know who we're
learning about next week? I don't know is it unknown
again? Is it deciduous?
Are we learning about all the other 27 generations?
Yeah, so we learned about unknown A today.
We're gonna be learning about unknown B tomorrow, or.
Next, be nice. We're gonna be the ruins of
Alpha about half a year at this rate.
Alphabets. Ruins of alphabets.
We're learning about Wah Buffett next week.
Okay. Gotcha.
Yeah. So make sure you tune in for
that. We will be back in the
classroom. It's always a danger of taking
Corbin out to play. I would.
TuneIn for but my radios gone. Well, you will be here in class
Corbin, so it's fine. Okay, all right, so before we
go, if you have any questions for me, I'm the professor.
Of course, you can send it to wwopokemon@gmail.com.
I have a question, professor. Shut up.
Oh, yes. OK, no, he has a question.
I gotta know. I do, I do, I do can can can we
start writing all of the, the tests and the, you know, notes
and everything for the class in the in the in the ancient glyphs
of the unknowns? No, no.
You sure?
Why? Why do you want that?
Why do? You.
I just think it'd be a great exercise.
Professor education. Only Corbin has to write them.
Write all everything. That's good.
Yeah, we so cuz he needs he's
the one he needs to learn. So Corbin, from now on what you
have to write in the unknown hieroglyphics.
All right, I'll try my best, professor.
OK, all right, anyways, so our Gengar mail is
wwopokemongmail.com. Send us essays, artwork,
animations, anything that you really want to send to us is the

media. It's on TikTok, Instagram,
YouTube. Whatever.

really cool stuff on it, so there's a links to all of our
social media on there. The most important one is
obviously the Patreon, because the Patreon gives you a ton of
bonus stuff, so you get a bunch of different rewards there.
You get to have a Pokémon potentially named after you, you
get Mr. Curtis's awful doodles. You get to watch the Nuz Lock
episodes two weeks early. You get to watch them on YouTube
for free, but you get to watch them two weeks early, even if
the lowest tier, if it's only a dollar.
You get to ask us questions for monthly Q&A's.
You get to do all that fun stuff and you get to listen out, take
some bloopers and you Get full access to the Discord.

But if you become a member on Patreon, you can engage and
interact with all the cool people on Discord and it's a fun
time. But yeah, in terms of the link
trade, there's other stuff. There's link to Patreon, there's
