Hey, what's up guys? We're learning about Pokémon and
stuff, I guess. Casual intro today, Professor.
Welcome to the world, Pokémon or whatever.
Whoa, you chilling out, Professor?
I don't. I don't.
Understand this is. A lesson series on Pokémon
Biology, so thanks everybody for coming in.
Corbin, are you OK? What's happening yourself today,
Corbin? I don't understand.
I guess here with me today is let me read this.
See if I get this name right. Mr. Curtis, I think you're my
student, right? You're.
This you said him. You need to do the intro
normally. Professor, I'm sorry, but you
need to do the sorry. Hold on, I didn't.
Know I haven't had my coffee yet.
Let me go ahead and take a sip of my coffee.
Take some of your coffee, please.
We gotta restart this. You made him panic.
All right, all right. Portia play the music again.
Portia, Portia again. Hello there, Welcome to the
world of Pokémon. My name is Professor Jacob, and
thank you so much for attending this lecture on Pokémon biology.
Joining me here in the classroom today is, of course, my
wonderful teaching assistant Mr. Kloptis.
Wait, wait, wait, what? Who?
Now it's Mr. Curtis. Everybody say hello Mr. Curtis.
Professor, don't do that. You scared me.
I don't like it. I don't like it When you're not
you. Yeah, I.
Just wanted to mix it up a little bit, kind of throw
everybody off, kind of like, you know, keep them off balance.
That's because everybody knows that's the best way to learn
when you're just a little bit disoriented.
That's right. The best way to learn is off
balance. Very disoriented.
Yeah, put that on the shirt. Also joining us in the
classroom. Well, Mr. Curtis didn't say
hello to everybody. He has kind of whimpered a
little bit. What Say say hello Mr. Curtis.
Hello everybody. That's that's Mr. Curtis for
everybody who's. Mr. Curtis, get yourself
together. I would never cry like that in
class. Come on.
This is your first lesson. I recommend you stopping now and
going to listen to a different lesson cuz it'll probably be
better. Also, joining us in the
classroom today is of course our young trainer and training
Corbin. Corbin, if you could please say
hello to everybody. Hello everybody if this is your
first lesson, what a weird lesson to start with Letian
really. Like, yeah, it was.
It's rare to find somebody whose favorite Pokémon is Ladian,
right? Well, you know, unfortunately
this is the wrong episode because of course we are talking
about sidui this episode. Episode.
Oh good. He got he got it out early.
We're we're not learning about decidui.
Also, this is not ATV Series Mr. Curtis.
Yes, stop saying episode. You said that last week.
Too, huh? You seen multi cameras?
You hear a laugh track, huh? And Porsche does like a good
laugh track. Though we do.
I mean, there's laugh tracks sometimes.
Well, Porsche does play a laugh track, but there's no visual
component. There's not a TV series, but if
this takes off, we will do one. Hey, maybe.
Maybe we can make it a TV
series, right? Listen, my passion is teaching,
all right? I'm a teacher.
Or what about an animated TV series I?
Tell you what I I did. I did.
Hey, I did. Stretch my acting chops with our
last lesson. OK, when we get.
Let's see where that got you. Where we got that?
Where we did the instructional video about Ladyba, right?
And I I think I really inhabited that character.
I think you did. I think you did a really good
job. Yeah.
Thank you.
Sure you did. I'm sure, yeah.
And everybody loved it a lot. I'm sure we're we're getting,
I'm getting the feedback now and it was all good.
Yep, unanimous, Unanimous love of.
All around, Mister Curtis. That's right.
Thank you. OK, everybody.
Listen, I I'd love to talk more about a potential TV series, but
we have to, you know focus on what's the, what's most
important, right. We have a lot to talk about
today. But first, I do have a Gengar
mail that I would like to read. I'm fine with that.
Great, you don't have a choice. That's I've heard that before.
Coming to us from Kaden, this Gengar mail says, Hello
Professor Jacob, Mr. Curtis and Corbin.
Hey, this is Kaden again. We did receive.
A Gmail before from Kaden and they say Mr. Curtis thank you so
much for the 1 1/2 gold stars you gave me for the drawing of
you with spinner axe. Very good.
Yes. I still have it pinned on the
wall right over here. Wow.
See. But that.
No, that was at that was at the oh, you oh, you took it here
from the other class. OK yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Sure, maybe.
Who knows who can keep track of what we do in this class?
Not me, not me. So they say that.
They say I have a question and I'm sorry if it has been
answered in previous lessons, but I must ask what is all of
you guys favorite evolution? So actually I think in the pre
like last week we talked about evolution.
So I guess it's kind of OK to talk about it now because what's
everybody's favorite? Umbreon, wait, I no take that
back. Jolteon I.
Was about to say Jinx. Objectively, objectively,
Umbreon is my favorite. Wait, that doesn't make sense.
I think if I didn't know Zinc, Umbreon would be my favorite.
But after knowing Zinc and getting to, you know, learn
about the love that comes with him, you know, those many
lessons ago, I would say that, you know, I'm a bi.
I'm biased now, so Jolteon is my favorite.
So if if they like, if we put in front of you an Umbreon and a
Gelteon who wasn't zinc, it's a different gelteon, which would
you go for? Oh, Umbreon.
All right, so Umbreon is Corbin's favorite.
Right. Yes.
Don't listen, Zinke. Zinke, are you listening?
Don't listen. Stop listening.
Stop it. Stop listening a couple minutes
earlier. Right, Mr. Curse?
What's your favorite? Espion.
But specifically the the shiny espion, because it's it's green.
Just like just like spin rag it's.
Like a Baja blast. Yes.
OK, so, OK, so. What about what about you,
Professor Jacob? Well, I've always been partial
towards ICE type Pokémon. I think I I think they're the
coolest. Thank you, thank you.
No. No laugh.
Track required. Porsche.
It's. Too funny?
So yeah, my favourites are ICE types I'm going to go with.
I would make AI would make a joke about my favorite
evolution, but that would be a little dark.
Professor Jacobs Einstein. He came in with the Flareon, and
it was. Some very expectations.
And then Corbins joke was OK too.
I guess I. Liked my joke?
Did you guys like my joke? Hey guys, I think there might be
too many jokes going on, so let's scale back the.
Jokes a little bit, guys. Joke leader, My favorite.
My favorite is Glazeon. Glaze sounds cool.
Glaze sounds really. Cool.
Very. Yeah.
So I know. No pun intended.
Pun intended. Pun intended.
Yeah, I mean, I mean it's it's somewhat say it's pretty chill
Pokémon, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, has a real
sometimes, you know, it's hard to, you know, get through that
icy exterior because it will often times give you the cold
shoulder. But you really you.
Can't have. Oh my gosh, Blaze, I can't.
Oh, his sides are literally splitting.
Corbett. Oh, Mr. Curtis, are you OK?
All right, enough jokes. Enough jokes.
Yeah, we're going to kill him again.
OK, so Kaden says I have recently come into this
possession of an EV that I named Espresso.
Great name. Great name, 10 out of 10 names.
Love that. Love that.
And they say that they evolved it into an Umbreon inspired by
the beauty of evolution, despite the fact that my Quallava, Quags
are Flappy, Butterfree and Eradicate are all evolved.
So they were inspired by Espresso's evolution that they
had to draw them. And they have attached the
drawing here. So we have another wonderful
drawing from Kaden. Let me see.
That, that will. Definitely.
Here you go. Oh, beautiful.
Even the nose looks like a little hard.
Yeah, we're going to post this on all of our social media.
Look at this. Kaden.
Such a great job. Beautiful.
Got a little :) in there. Oh, I love it.
Wait, smiley? Face.
There's a :) yeah right in between its head and tail.
There's a little :) look at that right under where it says
Umbreon written down. Oh, OK.
Yeah, I guess that's a. Little Easter egg there.
OK, sure, so Kaden says yes, I have my trainer's license.
I'm currently in CN Wood training my cypher for Chuck's
gym. However, I must admit that I was
initially disappointed that my EV evolved into an Umbreon.
As a lover of fighting types I was hoping he would become a
fighting type for. I am sad to say that there is no
fighting type EV evolution. Yeah, you're going to get
wrecked at that gym, Kaden. Good luck bud.
However, he has started to grow on me.
I mean, I have no fighting types on my team anyways, I think they
said their team before. Despite this, I've decided to
try to have my Umbreon lay an egg.
However, he is a male. I do have a Ditto, but despite
me having a Ditto and Umbreon alone together in the Pokémon
daycare for several days, they just won't produce an egg.
I'm worried that my Ditto is defective.
Depending on how old your Ditto is, it could be.
If it's an older Ditto, it's a common problem for a lot of
dittos his age. Well, I mean, you know,
sometimes just, they're not compatible, all right?
You can't, you can't force that. You can't force that.
You know, you just get one of your other hundreds of other
breeding stock and just, you know, swap another one out.
There, right. It's like a lot of, you know,
it's like a lot of relationships.
You can't force what's not there.
Like I can't force my dad to have a relationship with me
because he never came back. So your dad loves you.
All right. How do you know?
That every single day he does, he says.
He won't even talk. To me all say Mr. Mime.
He's not my Mr. Mime, his mind. But I know he's not my dad.
He's not my dad. We've been over.
This. He's not my dad.
Love you, son. He's not my dad.
My son is. He's not my dad.
Oh, wow. How is my son?
I love my son. Please tell my son I miss him.
Yeah, we're translating from Mr. Mime into English.
He's not my dad. He's not my dad.
OK, well, he might be, they say. Oh well.
Anyways, I hope you like this drawing of my beloved espresso.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
I'm happy to cooperate. Yeah.
Thanks, Kaden. We're a cooperative bunch over
here. That's right.
But yes, thank you so much. Kaden, you of course will be
getting a extra credit for this very, very good drawing.
And Mr. Curtis Gold Star. Gold Star once again.
Would you like to add it to their 1 1/2 gold stars?
Yeah, so now they have two and 2 1/2 total.
Oh, wow. So OK, so you get a full Gold
Star. Yeah, yeah.
Gold Star, all right. So thank you again, Kaden.
Now that is the only Gengar male that we have for today.
So that means we can jump right into the lesson.
Does anybody know who we're talking about this week?
We already said this is July and we know it's not that.
So let's not say that again. Any other guesses?
Oh, we already. I already said earlier.
It's Lydian. Oh, did you?
I did, yeah, We said in the beginning.
Did. We we did, yeah.
Quick portion someone. Had it right away.
Porsche. Play it back.
No wait. Porsche just played the S My B
Music Porsche. Now you got us again.
I do love. I do love that SBS my B music
though. Porsche so good.
We know you like your music remixes.
Don't play the S My B music again.
Play the Such A. Jokester.
Yeah, roll it back. Now she played the F&E music Oh
my. Gosh, the F&E music.
Listen, listen. Just just trust me.
Listen to Porsche. She's a.
Troll she's a little. Troll Okay.
I could confirm that we did say the correct Pokémon at the
beginning. Okay, now I know that you guys
have all definitely seen a Ladian because guys have a
little bit of a Ladian problem here at the GCC.
Yeah. You can't.
They're just they're. Everywhere I've seen so many.
Now you may be wondering why that's the case.
Now here's the thing. So our headmaster thought, OK,
so our headmaster heard that their dust brings good luck if
it gets on you. So she decided to, you know,
just buy as these, get as many as she possibly could, you know,
hoping to bestow good luck upon her students.
You know, from a good place, From a good place.
Really. Sure, but so she failed to
account for the fact that the that so ladians.
As we'll learn in the lesson, they draw their energy from the
stars, and because of the light pollution from the city, it
prevents them from absorbing any of the light from the stars
because it's all blocked out. So now we just have a bunch of
ladians that sleep in the courtyard all day and they're
everywhere and it's a pain to walk through.
And you don't even get their dust for good luck.
Yeah, 'cause they're not. Producing any now, I did.
Kind of. I did.
I did like snatch one up and bring it in here.
So here it is. Oh, nice.
Let's see it. There we go.
That's a good looking lady. And I mean, they honestly all
look good, to be honest with you, but wow, you're really
pretty, my friend. Well, OK, so the ladian's
asleep. She's not going to hear you.
Hello, I want to see you move. Around.
Knock knock. Hello.
Well, I do have this.
I do have this flashlight here. Now this is a very special
flashlight. It's tuned to the different
wavelengths that you that you can get from stars, so I'm going
to see if this can, you know, wake her up a little bit.
OK, OK, try it. Oh.
Gee, oops, sorry. I was shining it directly into
Mr. Curtis's eyes. Hold on, let me move down, down
right to the lady And there we go.
All right. OK.
Starting to move around? OK, While it's waking up,
Corbin, can you describe it for us?
Sure. Yeah.
So it looks a little bit more complex and segmented than A and
then a ladybug. So now it doesn't have 6 little
baby, you know, boxing glove feet.
It has four now, but the two bottom feet closer to its butt
have turned red and they're more like legs, whereas the other
four more like hands. And it it's definitely a darker
red, more of a classic red this time.
Before it was a little bit more orangish, now it's more of a
classic red. Oh, you think that's?
I feel like that's more of a slightly darker red than
classic. Slightly darker red.
Yeah. I was.
I have to agree with the
professor on that one. Sorry.
Yeah. Well, it has a black antennas
now, still has that cream color, and it has the really cute
little wings. And its eyes are a very nice
deep ocean blue, which I like. I love the eyes.
Ocean blue. One of my favorite things,
honestly. It's like, gosh, it's it's
beautiful. I'm going to call you Peniel.
It's a very sweet, kind name and you have very sweet, kind eyes,
Peniel. And that's also one of our
patrons. Now way there you.
Go. Yeah, I just remembered too.
Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah.
Wow, that's a great name. Now Peniel is the Peniel Lady,
and it's flying around a bunch. Now.
She's pretty active. You haven't seen me dust quite
yet. Maybe by the time by the end of
the lesson, she'll she'll excuse them out.
Give me your. Very dust.
Peniel. And she's kind of like, you
know, perched herself on the wall over there.
Oh, look at her. She's just chilling.
She's hanging out. Yeah.
Oh wait, there's a couple more coming in.
Oh. They're attracted by the light.
I think they saw the light. Oh, OK Flashlight going.
We got a yes, she's. Oh.
OK, we got a we got a problem. OK, that's.
More buzzing noise is so. Loud We have a lot.
And this is so bad. Hello, this is a lot of wedding
in here. Hello, I'm going to.
Open your window. Yeah, I'm going to open the
window. Can we get you and shine the
light? We need your friends to leave.
Peniel. There's a lot of them.
OK, yeah. Open the window.
And Oh my God, there's more coming.
Oh my God, they're running in. They're not coming out.
That's the there's more coming in.
We're going to need to do something to get them out.
Does anybody have any ideas is. There.
Could be any spotlights outside that we could shine that would
get them. Outside.
OK, I'll see. Let me, let me shine the light
into the hallway. Shine the light into the hall.
I got her door. Oh.
My God. Hey, it's been a while since
we've had a Nobody got hurt, right?
Did anybody get hurt? No, no.
I did. I did.
I did break my pinky finger. Oh, oh, that's rough.
Oops. Oh.
Wow, yeah, the bones coming out. I did.
I did get crushed. But don't worry I've got some
silk here. I'll, I'll, I'll wrap it up and
it'll be it'll be better by the end of class.
That's disgusting. OK Oh, hey, look, Penny all
stuck around. That's.
Nice. Hey, hey, buddy.
Nice. Of you.
OK, so now, with that catastrophe taken care of, I
think we should start reading some entries.
How? Do you?
I agree. I think that's a great idea.
We. Need a break?
I think that would be good. All right, starting off in the
joto region, the first entry says When the stars flicker in
the night sky, it flutters about, scattering A glowing
powder. Love that.
I love. I love a glowing powder.
Do you guys have any, like you know, guesses as to what that
glowing powder might do? It's gotta help.
Plants grow well, you said. You said it brings good luck,
right? Well, I said that the Headmaster
thought that it brings good luck.
I didn't say that that wasn't an objective truth.
It's. I see.
Professor.
I'm sorry. Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
Hey, maybe we'll find out later in the Pokedex Century is what
it. I think that it is there so that
they never they always have a night light.
They never have to go to sleep in the dark.
I like that. I think that's a great idea.
They're. Afraid of the dark?
Oh, you think they're? Free Now I don't.
Think that's Afraid of the Dark? I don't.
Think that's true? Oh yeah, the next entry says.
The star patterns on its back grow larger or smaller depending
on the number of stars in the night sky.
Whoa, that's cool. It changes.
Yeah, that's why. That's why there's the the the
spots on the back of of our ladians are so small because
they never see the stars. It's very sad.
Darn light pollution. We got to go out to the country
for some lessons. Or, you know, try to combat the
light pollution in the city. But that's a bigger.
That's a bigger. Problem.
That's a bigger political issue, yeah.
Yeah, we'll talk to the mayor of of Goldenrod at some point, of
course. Hey, maybe we'll even get them
on on a lesson. I'd love to know.
Oh, oh. Yeah, the next entry says.
In the daytime. And pay attention to this Mr.
Curtis I see. You're.
I'm. I'm ready, Mr. Curtis.
Pay attention. Drift off.
I'm zoned in. I'm.
I'm in. He's locked on in the daytime.
When it gets warm, it curls up inside a big leaf and drifts off
into a deep slumber. Well, isn't that adorable?
Isn't that just a big leaf? Oh, so cute.
And it must be a very large leaf because this lady in is 4 feet
tall. Oh, right.
Yeah. It's a big leaf.
Holy, I have to say something before I forget.
If you please, raise your hand when you do it.
OK, moving on to the next entry. OK, All right, Corbin, you guys,
what? What do you have?
To thank you. So we remember last week we
talked about ladybug. Ladybug left a sticky residue
behind, but now that it's evolved, it leads behind a more
much more beautiful, impactful, significant, artistic.
OK, it seems like he forgot what they leave behind.
Powder. I was trying to think of
different adjectives to describe it, but it's crazy how it's
evolved. It was first sticky stuff and
now it's fun little powdery stuff and I just think that
that's wonderful to see the evolution of what it.
Excretes the powdered, the dried sticky stuff, yeah.
That's what I'm saying. It was that lazy bus and now
it's powder that it excretes. Do you think it's for the same
purpose communication? You know what?
I think it's probably got to be, because when when other ladybugs
see it, they see OK, that's not a ladybug anymore.
Like, the powder obviously means the big boys are playing here.
That's where Lady Ann is. OK, while we're talking about
things we learned about last lesson, I find it very
interesting that it's in the daytime.
When it gets warm is when Lady Ann gets sleepy.
If we remember correctly from the Ellola entries, Lady BA,
when it gets warm, gets more energetic, so they kind of like
flipped around. Well, because it's nocturnal
now, yeah. Yeah, So I think it was safe to
say that ladybar are diurnal. I believe lady in are nocturnal.
I think we can. Say.
That I don't think it specifically says that in any
entries, but I think it's a pretty good we get a lot of
information. Enough information to really.
Sure. Yeah, of course.
Let's move on to the Hoenn region.
The first entry and only entry that I'm going to read says it
is said that in lands with clean Air where the stars fill the
sky, there live Ladian and countless numbers.
There is good reason for this. The Pokémon uses the light of
the stars as its energy. That's why all of the lady in
here are sleepy. That's why stars are the color
of your energy. Wow.
Wow, that's beautiful, guys. Did you guys practice that?
That was amazing. Once or twice, that's right.
Less less amazing then you need to actually practice it.
Yes. So that's why all of the lady in
here are sleepy, you know, It's all of the light from the stars
is counteracted from the light of the the city, city life, city
living goldenrod. The city that never sleeps.
That's what it's always called. That's right.
That's right dude. I have so many T-shirts that say
Goldenrod, The City That Never Sleeps.
Oh my gosh, can you can you lend lend a homey one?
I mean, I need a shirt to sleep in.
Maybe. I don't know.
You're my guardian. You're supposed to provide
T-shirts for me to sleep in. No, I don't think I have to.
I I mean, listen, I'm doing the best thing a Guardian can do,
which is make sure you're receiving knowledge.
Well, I will call Child Protective Services if I don't
get a big shirt to sleep in. All right.
Well then, Mr. Mime will come and take you back.
I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll weave you a.
Short. That's OK.
Shorts.
A short, not a short. Shirt.
Yeah, that's all those crop tops, Mr. Curtis.
That's. There's a crop tops, Mr. Curtis.
And I'm wearing one now. Why would I want another one?
I already have plenty A short. You.
Look so good in it. Thank.
You as a combination T-shirt shorts.
That's right. And yes, I wore crop top two
days after Christmas. Leave me alone.
Oh wow. Oh, did Christmas already
happened? Christmas already happened two
days ago. That's OK.
We don't celebrate Christmas until we learn about spinner
rack. That's how it goes.
In this class, I mean, I already celebrated, but yeah.
Well, take the celebration back, Corbin.
Take it back to the store. Yeah, undo all the fun you had.
OK, all right. That was me.
I'm mentally undoing how the fun I had.
Did you hear it? That was the fun leaving his
body, that was. The fun leaving my body, OK?
Left I guess. Moving on to the center region,
the only entry here says it uses Starlight as energy.
When more stars appear at night, the patterns on its back grow
larger. Hey hey that's that works with
what we said before that there the entries are working
together. There you go.
Sometimes it doesn't happen. A lot of the times it doesn't
happen so good works and so now you know the just repeats what
Sino says. Callos just repeats what we say
or what they say in Joto, so no reason to read it.
Now we do have a bunch here from Alola the 1st.
Let me guess. Our Lady and Our The best lady
and everybody loves Our Lady and they're the best, most active.
Maybe we'll see. While it is believed that
Starlight provides it with energy, this Pokémon also loves
to eat berries. In the daytime.
It curls up in the grass to sleep, the next entry says.
In battle, it throws punches with all four arms.
The power of each individual blow is piddly.
Piddly. That would have been a good name
too. That's the word they use, so it
aims to win by quantity rather than quality.
So they just do. They just punch a lot, just so
many punches. You can see, look, look, lady
and or up there is doing a bunch of punches as quick as possible.
Look at them. Go look.
At the practicing woo woo. Look at that.
Get it, Paniel. Get it?
Get a girl hook and an uppercut. That's amazing, the next entry
says. It said that the patterns on its
back are related to the stars in the night sky, but the details
of that relationship remain unclear.
Really, I feel like we we're pretty sure that they get bigger
with more Starlight. I feel like that was a pretty
clear thing that we said. Pretty clear, but whatever,
clear. Clear, clear, Clean.
Clean, clean, clean, The next entry says, and it said that the
pattern's on it's. Wait, no, I just read that one.
Where am I? What happened?
OK, the next the real next entry says it flies to the night sky,
sprinkling sparkly dust. According to some, if that does
sticks to you, good things will happen to you and that's that
must. Have been.
The Headmaster. Or that's where Headmaster
Sanchez got that from, OK. Don't Don't make up names for
our headmaster Corbin. That's not her name.
OK. She has.
She prefers to go by Headmaster. Nobody knows what her real name
is. They just call her the
Headmaster. The Head.
The Headmaster.
Anyways, so we have an entry here from Professor Mirror in
the Lentil region. It says when night falls, Lady
in a flutter's about scattering A sparkling dust.
It seems very drawn to anything that lights up, maybe because it
uses Starlight as energy. That's right.
OK. Yeah, like a venom off to a
flame. They they move towards lights
and we we saw that in action. That's.
How we were able to. Save the classroom once again.
All right, so that does it. On all the regional entries.
There is one unique entry that comes to us from ashes.
Pokedex, it says Ladian, the five star Pokémon, the evolved
form of Lady Bob. The spots on Ladian's back are
said to react to the stars in the night sky.
Yeah, yeah, we knew that. Yeah, we knew that already.
It's a thing. And guys, that does it for all
the Pokedex entries on Ladian. That's it.
Yeah. Do you have any questions?
I never asked this, but you guys have any questions?
Mr. Curtis what noise was that? In here Wait.
Are you OK? Is he Is this a sloppy mouth?
He's speaking Ladian right now. It was.
It was me saying no way, but I said it too fast.
Oh, OK, sorry. I thought you were speaking a
different language again. Too fast for his mouth to keep
up. That's right.
So no, no questions about Ladian.
I'm good, honestly. I'm feel like I know everything
I need to know. OK, well then you are perfectly
ready for the next portion of today's lesson.
Which I'm not taking a quiz though.
The testing portion. I said no, I said.
No, Well. Pull out that road Tom laptop
and take a quiz. Gonna take a quiz.
It's not a poem quiz. But it's a poem.
We are doing a debate this time. Oh, Sir, you can do.
A quiz. I'm pretty sure we can't do a
quiz because I did not write 1 so oh, we only have the debate
here. I can write one and then take it
no. Now Well, that would.
That would invalidate the entire quiz.
Curtis, you're dumb. Listen when you talk, yeah, the
things you say have meaning. Yeah, I could.
I could. I could.
I could write it and then forget it and then take it again.
I mean, honestly, he probably could do that.
Yeah, So he's OK, Corbin just agreed.
Sorry, sorry. Sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. OK so let me read you the the
debate starting rules because I did change these a little while
ago. So OK, so I give the debate
topic 1st and then one student will decide if they want to go
first or go 2nd and whichever student goes first gets to
decide if they will be for or against the topic.
All right. OK, so, Corbin, would you like
to go first? Oh, wait, no, here.
I'm sorry. Here's the topic.
Here's the debate topic. OK.
If Ladian was cut off from the night sky, it would die.
All right, Corbin, which would you Would you like to be for or
against? Oh, sorry, Hold on, hold on.
I always Do you want to go first or you want to go second for
this? So do I get to choose whether or
not I go 4? So if you if you decide to go
first, then you you get to decide if you want to be for or
against the topic. But if you let Mr. Curtis go
first, then he decides if he is for or against the topic.
OK, it can be a little bit quicker here to decide.
You said you said if it, you said hold on, if it's cut off
from the night sky, it will die. If Ladian was cut off from the
night sky, it would die. Like if it's locked in a, like
if it's like locked inside or something.
OK, I will go first. All right, so that means you
want to decide. Yes, I'm going to decide.
OK, so. I for.
Or against my God. I think for one second, let me
my brain. You know what?
I'm going to I'm going to be against this argument.
I'm against it. I am going to argue that if
Ladian was cut off from the night sky, it would not die,
right? Yes, that is, that is the
opposite of the debate topic that I gave.
So yes, so that means Curtis, you are you are four and you
might not be going first, but you will have the first chance
to respond to Corbin's debate. And let me just give you a quick
reminder of the rubric. One and two are you must include
information we learned in class and you must demonstrate an
understanding of the Pokémon's unique attributes and abilities.
Three is you must build an argument around proven facts
about the topic Pokémon, and four must respond to at least
one of the opponents arguments with a legitimate counter
argument. O take your time, write your
debate, your your platforms, and then we'll get this debate
going. OK, it looks like all of my
students are ready. Corbin, if you would like to
come up to the front of the classroom 1st and.
Of course of. Course, now you will be giving
your opening statement, OK, that that that will be what you're
doing. Please, please keep it to that.
OK. Hello everyone.
My opening statement and argument is again, if Lydian was
caught off from the night sky, it would not die.
First of all, nothing in the Pokedex entries indicates that
it would die, just that it would not have as much energy.
It gets its energy from the night sky and the stars, but
nothing says quote, it's not going to live slash going to
die. So first and foremost we go by
the Pokedex for this and nothing in there says that.
So that's my opening statement. OK, wow.
Yeah, that was that was pretty short.
May I can say more if you want. That's OK, Mr. Curtis.
Now you can do your opening statement and also please
respond to Corbin's opening statement.
OK. Thank you.
Thank you Professor and and you know thank you Corbin for the
for your for your interesting point.
And thank you for what you're about to.
Say wow, Did you hear how he hit that the the singular point?
I did. If there's one thing we know is
it is that ladians use Starlight for energy, just like how we
osmos. I mean food, eat food for
energy. And what happens if we do not
eat? We die.
Period. This is further supported by the
fact that Lydians sleep during the day.
During the time that Starlight is lean, they have to hibernate
to preserve energy. That's my opening statement and.
If you could slap your desk a little bit less, that would be
great. OK.
I'm sorry, Professor. So I'm looking out for Porsche
later on in the editing. Now I hear, I hear OK Now I'm
going to respond to Corbin. Now I know what you're saying.
It does not explicitly say let in die without Starlight, but it
also does not say that it doesn't die without Starlight.
Huh. It's kind of the end of my.
Response. OK, wow.
We're really. I was open for a little bit more
there. I have a response.
OK well that's great because it is your turn to respond to Mr.
Curses and also it allow this is your time to give your closing
statement. So the argument originally is if
lettion was cut off from the night sky, it would die.
Mr. Curtis, with that debate has something called the burden of
proof. He has to prove that it would
die in the night sky. So the whole argument of well,
you can't prove that it doesn't die.
The burden of proof is not on me.
The burden of proof is on you. By definition.
You have to be the one to prove that it would die.
I am saying that based on the information that we have
provided in the Pokedex, it talks about how like when in the
daytime when it gets warm it goes to sleep in a leaf.
It likes to, it likes to settle down, it likes to rest.
Every Pokémon, every living creature and even every human
has to sleep at one point. Just because it was, you know
it's not in the night sky doesn't mean it's going to die.
And also with food, we have to consume food all the time for
not only energy, but nutrition and stuff like that.
I mean that's that's a little bit different, Like, I mean we
need sunlight and energy to live, right?
And you can still like not really go outside for a long
time and still live. You may not have as much energy,
but you know, you can still live.
It might be lazy and sluggish, but nothing in any of the
Pokedex entries indicates that it would cease to live.
I don't think it is comparable to food.
Food is nourishment and energy, and our bodies have to break it
down to survive. At the end of the day, a little
bit of energy loss is just going to make it sluggish.
And that's my. That's my.
That's my closing statement too. OK, Mr. Curtis, it is now your
time for a closing statement. Thank you.
Not not for a response to Corbin's points.
It is time for your closing. Statement.
You respond to me, you die. I mean, you fail.
Oh, OK all right. Well, he does.
He doesn't know. I was going to say, well, you
know what it does, Saying the same Poker death.
It says that they live where skies are clears, not where
skies are clouded. Where did Pokémon live?
Where they can eat, where they can survive?
What it does say is that they shrivel up or their spots shrink
when they are less stars in the sky.
That's a decline in health and vibrancy.
Also a sign that a Pokémon is suffering without nourishment,
IE Food, energy, no food, energy, lady and die and in my
case the end. OK, You know, I was hoping for a
little bit more from the both of you on this.
I'm surprised nobody brought up the Pokedex entry where it says
it, it eats berries sometimes I I it feels like that would help
at least one of you a lot. And I feel like he could, the
way that it's worded could provide some good, some good,
you know, back and forth, 'cause let's see here it says comes to
us from the Ellola region. It says while it's believed that
Starlight provides it with energy this Pokémon.
Also, there you go, loves Schmidt.
Berries. Now, hold on now.
Hold on now. It never says anything about
that the berries give them nourishment.
It just says it loves to eat them.
But it doesn't mean it doesn't mean that it provides them with
energy. Of course it does.
Every every living.
Thing that says to Corbin. That's a that's a basic
foundational knowledge of every single living.
Thing for other Pokémon doesn't make it true for Ladian, all
Pokémon are different. Oh, come on.
You know what I like to eat? You know what I like to eat?
Textbooks. Things only eat for energy.
That's the only reason to eat things.
No, no, no, no. No, no.
So you only eat things for energy.
So you go out of your way to eat things that provide you most
energy. Or genetically programmed to
want to eat and get hungry because my body needs it, it
needs berries to survive and it does it during the day.
The fact that's able to walk. Whoa, you're inclusion there
berries to survive. Where did that go?
Come on. Berries are a treat.
You can't live off a treat. Well, I meant food in general,
maybe not very specifically. But food Starlight provides it
with energy. It's not just going.
To, but the Pokémon also likes to eat Berry.
Moving on, Professor Treat. No, I'm right.
Thank you. It's a treat.
It's a dessert. It's a treat.
You can't live off a dessert. You gotta watch me, do you see
do. You see how this one pokedex
entry provides so much, so many talking points I can't.
Believe you wanna go again round two, huh?
You wanna? Let's go.
I'll fuck you right now. Debate.
You right now debate you so hard, Mr. Curtis.
You're not gonna know what side of the debate you're even on by
the end of. It I'm gonna throw.
I'm gonna throw punches like a lady and over each individual.
Four at a time. But I'm gonna hit you with a lot
of quantity. Here I'm gonna lay on the ground
and kick my feet and arms and pretend they're four arms of a
letting, and I'm just gonna just while it out on the floor squaw.
OK. So I'm going to take a couple
points off from you guys for the first point, because I feel like
there's more information that you could have included from the
Pokedex entries. So you'll get two.
You'll both get two out of four. Oh, now, now, Professor, come on
now. I I feel like I included a lot
more from the Pokedex than Corbin here.
Hey, hey. Hey.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Come on now, I do a lot more entries about the clear sky.
You know what he did? He did.
I quoted it. I quoted it directly too.
Just saying. Three out of four.
Corbin, you really only said that they get energy from the
stars. That was really the.
Only thing trivial up. Okay.
Well, I think I quoted it more. Well, we can go back and check
the tapes, all right. But you did both and you, I
think you guys did fairly well understanding what we talked
about. So you guys get full marks
there. Your arguments did include
lesson things that we learned about in class and you both
responded. So the only thing I'm taking
points off from is the first point because you did
technically hit the other. Marks, I feel as though you know
what? I'm going to say it.
I think this is our worst debate yet.
Maybe that's my fault, You know, I'm the professor.
I have to take responsibility here and there.
No, professor, it's my fault. It's me, blame me.
You're right. It is his fault.
All right, I. Let you down, Professor.
Of course. Why did you do this to us?
Why did you let me down? Why did you do this?
I'm. So sorry.
It's not OK. You'll have to make it up in an
essay later. I'm too tired.
All right. Well, this concludes our lesson
on a lady in Does anybody looking around for one person
maybe in particular, who might know what's looking like we're
learning about next week? Well, it's clearly not Corbin
who would know, because he's wrong.
Oh OK, that was another cool bug type.
It's, well, I'm sorry to say, Corbin, or I'm happy to say I
should say I'm sorry. I'm confused you to say.
I'm I'm very happy to announce the next week is the week the
one and only spinner rack. It's.
Time the one and only the perfect Pokémon.
I hope you have something planned, Mr. Curtis.
I've heard, I've heard stirrings, rumors around the
school that you've been cooking up something.
Yeah, a little. A little bug type.
Pokémon told me that you got some good stuff going on now.
So for everybody who's curious, it may it might be late, but
it'll be our Christmas Spectacular, right?
We planned we planned to do a Christmas spinner rat Christmas
spectacular lesson, but then I had to go away and get, you
know, hospitalized in rehab for for wrapping too much for.
Wrapping so. It is my fault.
But not Christmas wrapping. That's.
Right, we're having a delayed Christmas.
I tried to celebrate the other day on real Christmas a couple
days ago, but Professor quickly came to my house and took my
gifts for me. I I I I sensed that you were you
were celebrating Christmas and. He sensed he sensed my joyous
spirit, so I had to watch Gordon open all of his gifts from his
family. Well, I just said you didn't.
Have to you could have gone. You could have left the he.
Asked me if I wanted to, he said, hey, I'm sorry your gifts
were taking, would it feel better to watch me open all my
gifts? And I said not really.
He said where else do you have to go?
And I said that's a good point, that's.
Right. OK.
But yes. So for next week, it's a
Christmas spectacular and Mr. Curtis is in charge.
He is leaving our our lesson on spinner.
Action. I'm calling it sick.
Hopefully, I hopefully we're not hyping it up too much and we're
not setting Mr. Curtis up for failure, but we'll see what
happens. I'm calling it sick.
So we can look forward tonight, Mother will provide.
Excellent, but we can look forward to that next lesson.
