Hello there and welcome to the world of Pokémon.
My name is Professor Jacob, and thank you so much for attending
this lecture on Pokémon biology. Joining me here in the classroom
today is of course my wonderful teaching assistant Mr. Curtis.
If you could please tell everybody how you're doing
today. Oh, I'm.
I'm doing so well, Professor. Let me just say I love that
we're in class. I love you.
Oh, OK. I love the.
Label on it like that yet. I love this desk right here.
Forgetting someone. It's a, it's a it's it's an
academic type type of love. A professional love if you.
Will. OK, good.
Well, what about me? You know, I'm tolerating Corbin,
but that's better than, like, despising Corbin, which is where
that's normally at. So, you know, that's good.
So far, so good today. How?
How about you, Professor? How's your day going?
I mean, so I had to send my toga tech upstate to the, yeah, to
the breeding farm, to the breeding farm.
So you know my mind. Is it upstate?
Sorry, upper region, upper region, that's right.
Well, it's a different region. It's into regional now.
Yeah, yeah, so I know. But I was thinking my mental
state which is not up, it is down.
But you know what? They're going to have such a
great time with Dougie. I mean it's just don't worry
about it. Sure.
But like man, my, it's just my mental state.
It's just been it's been a little bit.
I feel like, you know, I I was, I was a little bit addicted to
the to the faulty happiness that Togatech creates.
Oh man, I'm sorry. It's like a drug.
It is. That's what I that's what I
mean. Listen, if we were to have a
debate about whether or not it was a drug.
Great idea. I would be on the side of it's a
drug. But also joining us here in the
classroom today is, of course, our young trainer in training,
Corbin. Corbin Yo, please.
Hello. Hey, guys.
What's going on? It's good to be, It's good to be
here. I'm happy to be here in class
learning more than I've ever learned.
And you know, honestly I think, I think it's coming up, I think
180 is the last one of the Joto region and then I get my
license, I'm pretty sure. Is.
That no, there's a lot wrong in that statement, unfortunately
there. Is.
I remember reading somewhere that said once you get to 180
you can get your license. Are you?
I would. I would like to see a source on
that because it's not how we do. Things here.
The source is underneath my desk.
Somebody wrote it in crayon and it was not me.
No, I'm sorry. Sorry Corbin, I I I washed that
off this morning before class. So all the all the somebody else
are clear. Somebody must have come in
before the morning class here, you know, today and and done
that. That wasn't me.
What I spent so much time cleaning under all of the desks,
I can't believe they would do. Either way, I think I should
either get Zinc in the back in the 180 lesson or I should get I
should get to choose a starter like a turtwig or something.
I mean, provided that Zinc is even still alive.
Zinc is definitely a lie at. This point?
Who knows? Jelteons don't live very long.
I know, I know. Don't.
Remind they are but a blink. Perry says that Zinc is doing
great, doing grand, doing fine. Yeah, yeah, sure.
It's it's good coke. I told him to tell you that, so
I'm glad that he's no. No, no, I'm sure that.
He's true. He's telling you those lies to
me. No, I think zinc's fine.
Please don't put that in my head.
Maybe. I don't know.
I haven't checked, but OK, so we
have a lot to talk today and before we do that I would like
to read a couple of Gengar mails if that's OK with everybody.
Oh yeah, Professor, I I could not wait any longer, please.
OK, well this first one comes to us from a student named Topa.
It says hello Professor Jacob Corvin and Mr. Kurt QS.
Kurt Now who is that? Who is what?
Cordis. Corvin.
Who's Corvin? Are you?
Are you not Corvin? It's Corbin.
I'm sorry. Bin I'm pretty sure I've been
saying Corvin this entire time. Yeah, yeah, that's that's what's
on the sheet here. I mean, if you're not Corvin, we
gotta kick you out. Yeah.
No, we can't. No, No, we can't be having that.
No. Oh, thank you.
All right. Well, OK.
Well, Mr. Corvin, if you could please, you know, just.
Oh, it's not. Quiet.
Well, I read the rest of this so they say.
First, I would like to clarify that my name is pronounced Tapa.
Tapa the Morning. Fingers crossed I said it
correctly then to go on to say and 2nd, I have an odd theory on
Mr. Curtis. Oh, by the way, whenever they
write Curtis, they have taken a cue and like, just kind of put
it into a random place. Yep, which is great.
I love. That I love that.
I love that. I'm not odd.
I don't. I don't know what you're talking
about. I'm just the.
Theory is regular. You've Curtis.
Been even. In your life, you're odd that.
Sounds like a guilty conscious to me, Topa Topa says.
I believe that he is biologically related to the
former King of Callos as Who's that?
The former King of Callos. Oh, oh, I remember learning
about that history. Well, if you want to learn more
here, Tapa has you covered. They say according to the myths,
as his favorite Pokémon is Fluet.
But not just any Fluet. A rare breed of Fluet, one never
seen before and still yet to be seen as.
How do we know? They probably talked about it or
drew it or something, as also built the device to return life
to his lost Pokémon and reuse the device and reuse the device
to bring chaos to the region after Floet rejected him.
Oh, harsh buddy. I don't.
Super See. Don would never reject.
Me. I told him to know me first.
Well, she'll never know you, so she'll never.
I don't see the connection quite between AS and Mr. Curtis But
we'll keep reading and my final point is the fact that I believe
that AS is still alive today, according to the interviews of
the previous callous champion Calum, he met AS on the 1st wave
against Team Flair and as seen on film.
Apparently AS is a movie star as well, and so is Kayla.
Wait, is that as a no, he did me on the news.
I remember seeing this on the news too.
Oh, it was on the news. OK.
It was on the. News.
I was young. So yeah, on the news, as meets
with Kaylem the day he wins, he also gets reunited with his
missing flow at wins. I guess.
I'm not sure what he's winning there.
Oh the as the the Kalos champion.
The Kalos Championship? Yeah, it was a big deal.
Oh, OK. Now what is the relation with
Mr. Curtis like as Mr. Curtis has an overwhelming and
concerning love and affection with spinarak.
But not just any Spinarak. A special and rare inbred of
Spinarak. They Hey, listen, they are
special. That's for sure there is
inbreeding. They are rare.
There is inbreeding. Mm hmm.
Well. That's on a T-shirt.
No, never mind. Maybe not.
Also, Similarly, Mr. Curtis designs and breeds Pokémon to
destroy the region and the rest of the world.
He was also brought back to life.
Now, Mr. Curtis, what are your plans to destroy the rest of the
world? Because I was not aware.
Mr. Curtis Is that the plan? I would no no no no no no I
would I would never never destroy the world.
I mean that doesn't that's not productive right.
Maybe like re mold it. Break it down the current.
Break it. Down archetypes and and but
suits you better. That's true, Corbett.
Stop it. What?
No beat beatboxing is perfectly.
Beatboxing is permitted. It doesn't make great content
every good, but it's it is legal.
Well, I think I'm a better beatboxer than him.
Ohh dude, you wanna go down? Yeah, go ahead.
Let's see what you got. We have a lot.
Hey, I'll remind the class that we do have a lot to talk about.
Skirts. Skirts.
Skirt. Wait.
No, wait. Wait, no, now he's doing
something. But I want.
To hear those. Boots and skirts and cats in
buckets and buckets and skirts and boots and cats.
And alright, so. Skirts and skirts.
And are we've? Lost them we.
Lost Keep going time. Good job, Mr. Curtis oh, thank
you. Thank you.
So I check in. If you're on Spotify, go ahead
ahead and check the description below.
You'll find a poll to see who was a better beatboxer.
That's such I'm so excited for everybody to prove to Corbin
once and per all, I am the best beatboxer.
So if you think it was Corbin, or do you think it was Mr.
Curtis, go ahead. Let your voice be known, be
heard. No, no, we're done.
We're done. No more beatboxing.
And bucket and. All right.
No, no, no. We go.
OK, so Tapa goes on to say to
end it all, Mr. Curtis has been alive for Archaeus knows how
long, right? And as my final point, both
individuals are unnaturally tall and grossly unkempt.
Facts. Big facts.
Real insult, there I go. Oh jeez, that was.
Tapa's not pulling any punches. Tapa Tapa I was I was really
liking your message to the class, but I don't know Now I'm
a little, I'm a little hurt. Doesn't matter.
They finish it by saying whether any of this is true, I am
unsure. I hope this helps with the
mystery of Mr. Curtis. Regards.
I think it's shed some light. Thank you.
Yeah, I think, I mean, I don't know, I, Mr. Curtis, were they,
were they close at all? Were they on the money that
that? Would be.
Figured out now. Well, I you know, I've always,
I've always felt a certain kinship to our Lord.
Majesty Mr. as the King. Whoa, OK, more Curtis lore.
You're. That's right.
OK, well, no, this is the king of callos.
OK, you know what? I have to be respectful, all
right? But you.
Didn't serve any leader other than the Night mother.
I mean, I don't, but like, you know, can't anger other royalty.
You know what I'm saying? That's true.
He can serve one but recognize the the authority of another.
It's like, it's like you know, if you're a diplomat to another,
you know King's court, you know you still refer to that person
as King, even though you're not. You don't serve that king, you
serve your own queen. You know the one that.
Don't, which is dawn in my case. Well, I mean, the night mother,
of course, is the only one. But anyway, that's that's
besides the point. And and you know, you have to
you have to respect their, you know dedication to the cause.
All right. But no, I'm not.
I'm not actually related to AS, but I that's, you know, I have
great respect for their majesty as so.
Yeah, I mean like like I think we can all relate to as we're
all just one rejection away from turning our life giving device
into a life ending device, so. Oh man, put that on a T-shirt
for sure. Mr. Curtis, does top like get a
Gold Star? What do you think?
I I'm tempted to say no because they called me grossly unkempt
and naturally tall. I think.
I mean, do you think, Corbin, do
you think I'm grossly unkempt? Absolutely give Top a Gold Star.
Give them two gold stars. Yeah.
All right. Well, I will give, I will, I
will agreed to one, definitely. Not two Mr. Curtis is not
related to AS, nor is he related to anyone since he has no
brothers or sisters. Or parents.
Wait, he He or or no he is 2. Parents are dead.
Yeah. No, no.
Two out of the three. Yeah, two out of his three
parents are dead. Two of his three parents are
dead, and I remember learning. About Mr. Curtis a little bit.
Right. And then he ate all of his
siblings in the womb. So that's true.
You know what? Not a lot in a Child Cursed Your
last parent. Where are they at?
Can I talk to? Him.
Yeah, I have so many. I have so many questions.
No, no, no, no. They're they're they're on an
extended vacation. Mom or Dad?
That's my my father, right? My my father is is on extended
vacation and he told. Me.
It was your mother. Well, they're kind of like
amorphous of some sort. So yeah, that that's, that's the
third. Parent So your final parent.
I have so many questions, let me know when they're done with
their trip. I'd love to ask.
Yeah, it's definitely not the Night Mother, right?
No, no, no, of course not. OK, because I I feel like a lot
of virtual students would be jumping.
We'll be headlong diving into that conclusion if we don't
state right now that's not the case.
Just an amorphous powerful it's. A human though, right?
Well, amorphous, powerful being wouldn't.
I mean, you know, would I be here if I wasn't a human?
I mean, I almost got you there. You were tempted.
You were like, I mean, why would it be human?
It's amorphous. And then you're like, oh wait,
hold on. I mean, anyway, you almost.
You almost admitted enough enough about me.
Let's talk about decidui, OK? Papa, thank you so much for that
Gold Star. Wait, you know, for that Gengar
male. And I hope you enjoy the Gold
Star. And you're thanking us for the
gold? Star.
Yeah. Well, well, we're awaiting your
thank you for the Gold Star. Okay.
I have one more Gengar mail to read here.
This one comes to us from Chilia, I think.
Chilia. I really hope I got that name
correct. I'm sorry if I didn't if.
Not everybody. Roast him in an e-mail or
comment on Twitter. Thank you.
He loves it when people make fun of the way he pronounces stuff
He loves it at. Least I don't say Crown.
Crown. I said I said crayon earlier.
I I The only one wearing the crown is king ass.
So OK. All right.
So Chilia says hi, Professor J Mann.
Thank you. See, everybody loves it.
Everybody loves the Professor J Mann.
It's. PJ Mann.
Or. Warm, like a warm flannel jacket
you put on right before class. Yeah, that's that's actually
what's on my my dating profile. Yep, I love.
It anyways, they say I am listening to the Clefa lesson
right now. I want to give four reasons why
you need to stop bullying Corbin.
Okay. Reason number one, he has no dad
anymore and he needs some respect for that.
That's right. First of all, that's not true.
That's. Not true.
We've met his dad. His dad is very nice and he
loves him a lot. And second of all the way.
He's not Mr. Mime. It's not the Mr. Mime the way
that. You say he needs some respect
for that definitely makes it sound like he killed him, that
that Corbin killed his dad and he needs.
Guys, no. Just no.
OK? No, my my dad is not the Mr.
Mime is not. It's not Donnie.
I mean Mr. Mime. Sorry.
He has to be calling him something now, because calling
him Mr. Mime is. What are you calling him?
I don't want to. It's.
It's really no, no, no. He, he, he, he sends me a.
Little bit of money. Every time I refer to him as his
new chosen name, it's he got it legalized.
So I don't, I don't know if I want to say it.
It's really silly. OK, you know what Corman think?
Think on that. And then maybe, maybe next
lesson. It's Donnie J, It's Donnie J
Donnie. J.
Now now is it DAWNY Donnie? No.
If Donnie is in DONNI, he always draws it with a little heart on
the eye. And then it's just the letter J
afterwards. Space capital letter J.
So, Donnie J. DOUWINYJ got it.
That's that was Downy. For sure that was Downy.
Donnie J. Why?
Is any particular reason? I don't know.
OK, that's a mystery. Donnie's a mystery.
Donnie J All right, Sure. Will will he also send me money
if if I call him that? Donnie J Send me money.
I mean, I'm his. I'm his.
You know, son.
No, I'm his, you know. Well, Spawn, we're living.
In a logical no. No, no.
But so he spies anybody. From their loins.
That's that's beside the point. I just wanted to correct it here
that you know my father is not Donnie J slash Mr. Mime.
Just throwing that out there. I just wanted to clarify.
Stop making fun of me. Sure, we we definitely haven't
made it more confusing. Two, here's a second reason why
Nachelia thinks we should stop bullying Corbin.
Number two, he has blue hair. I love blue.
Well, I love Blue as well. Thank you.
That's very. Kind.
Who else has blue hair? Who Don?
Donnie J. Donnie J.
You know what? OK, OK.
But it's mine's actual hair. He doesn't have hair.
That's not hair. That's just like horn things
that Mister Biden has. I don't know what they are.
I don't. I don't try not to look at them.
I I try to look at them too much.
OK, #3 He is not a Mr. Mime and I know because I met his dad
once. Tell him to come back and.
This is not a Mr. Mime. He's not a Mr. Mime.
See? I mean, the chili is right.
The first point here he that Natilia says where he has no dad
anymore, really makes it sound like that.
Natilia knows some things that you don't Corbin.
Right. OK, so you met my dad, but then
you killed my dad. What happened, Natalia?
Did you kill Corbin's dad? Please don't say that.
OK, so I mean first of all, I mean just because you met his
dad doesn't mean that Corbin isn't a Mr. Mime.
I think they're both true. I mean, you've never met his
mother. That's right.
His mom could be a Mr. Mime. I mean, she's not, but you know.
I mean, I don't know. I don't know Corbin.
She's not. I mean, she's married to him,
Mr. Mime Donnie. She's just married.
She just Donnie. Donnie J, Your beloved father,
OK? He cares for you.
He calls, He sends you pocket money.
Professor. Huh.
I mean, you move on, Professor. How could you say that about?
OK, the the, the next and final point says.
I do think he was a good class president.
Here, here. Thank you Natalia.
Thank you, thank you, thank. You and they say, And now that's
over. I want to ask Mr. Curtis if he
made a book or something about spinner rack and the greatness
of insect types. I'm waiting to publish my final
thesis once I have read The Perfect Spinner Rack.
And let me tell you what, my standards are very high and the
Night Mother standards are even higher.
It's a picture book, isn't it? Don't let.
Perfection. Get in the way of good enough.
No picture book? No, I am.
I am a I'm a follower of the Night Mother and a student of
the Professor Jacob. I cannot let anything that
leaves my my hand to be anything but pure perfection.
Or I'll let you down, Professor. I can't.
Do that, OK, sure, Natalia says. Sorry professor, if my English
is not that good. I think it's been excellent.
I think it's good. I think it's.
Very good. My native language is called
Dutch. Hello means hello.
Hi, I can speak Dutch too. Wow.
Well now you can. If you remember my info about
grasshoppers in Dutch, they are called Sprinkcon.
I don't know that. I don't know that Pokémon.
Yeah, I don't. I'm not sure that must be a from
the from the Dutch region, the. Grasso.
Probably much love to all of you and see you later alligator.
Also Pokémon. I will give more info later.
Is that also in the the Dutch region?
And then they say, and I'm definitely not going to get this
right, they say Doey, Doey, Doey, which is the buy in Dutch,
I assume. Now I have heard of these
lederhosen devices. Are those also in Dutch?
I I I'm looking at the Gengar male here, Corbin and I it
doesn't say anything about that. So I had.
I have no idea. I've just heard.
I've just heard Gordon has mentioned lederhosen before.
Yeah, I've heard it was. I heard through the Grapevine.
It was a Dutch thing, but I don't know.
Just no, I think, I think that's that's more in a in a in a
Bavarian region. Actually, oh, is it?
Close by, but not quite. Where is that where you find the
Indian elephants? That, yeah, that's exactly
right. You got?
Them So Mr. Curtis, Does the Chile get any gold stars for
this? Six of them.
Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll give them a a Gold Star.
Why not? You know, I I don't like the,
you know, the diss of Donnie J, OK 'cause cause Donnie J works
hard, OK? Yes.
And is and and Donnie J is the father that's here and is the
one that is here to support Corbin.
OK. I mean, I mean, he's right,
Corbin. You know my dad, though, So he's
a caretaker. He's a caretaker in my mom's
house. He is not my father.
Just throw that out there. Anyway, he's a caretaker of my
heart and your heart and everybody's heart.
Thank you Donnie J, but I will give Nichila a Gold Star for
their for their great work. Thank you.
Excellent. All right, so enjoy that Gold
Star. Natalia, thank you so much.
Doy doy, doy doy. We all probably said it wrong.
Horribly incorrect. All right, that's enough for
Gengar males today. Let's jump into the main lesson.
Does anybody know who we're talking about this week?
Decision Why? Nope.
OK, Corbin. Corbin Come on, man, I.
Had I did hear because Curtis mentioned it.
That's why I thought. OK, it's not.
This is UI. It is a flying type though.
Should narrow it down. Is it Scarmery?
No, it's not Scarmery. We're not.
We're not quite at Scarmery yet. This is much smaller bird
Pokémon even like I would or I would even say a tiny bird
Pokémon. Oh, is it a?
It's not. What's the one before Talon
Flame? I mean, you're it is technically
before Talon flame. So no.
OK, Mr. Curtis, you get, you get one guess and then I'm saying
it. We are doing piggioto again.
No, we'll never redo a Pokémon. No.
We are doing Natsu today. Natsu, AKA the Tiny Bird
Pokémon. Right, OK.
So yeah, has anybody seen a Natsu before?
Mr. Kerr? I don't think I have seen one.
I mean, they're not very common in Canto, where I've been my
whole life. So I haven't.
I mean, I haven't seen one. I mean, I have one here today
against all odds I have. I I would.
I'd love to see it. I've seen pictures.
I'd. Love to see.
Let me, let me get the door. Hold on.
I need to shut the door. Why was the has the door open
been open this whole time? Yeah, it was.
But we definitely don't want that Natsu getting out, so let
me go ahead. All right, good idea.
All right, let's see it. OK, here is a Natsu.
Oh, look at that little baby bean.
Look at that tiny little baby. It's.
So tiny I can fit in my hand, It's.
I don't know that they really appreciate you calling them a
bean though, I mean. It's OK.
Yeah, he is. He's staring at you, Corbin.
Oh. I don't.
I'm not sure I've seen this thing blink yet, and I've had it
for a while. Yeah, he's just kind of staring
there. So yeah, this this Pokémon is
only 8 inches tall. Wow.
Yeah, that is, that is, yeah, I could.
I could easily fit that in my hands.
I mean, yeah, definitely. Corbin, if you could describe
the not to. Please describe the NOT to.
OK, well, it basically is a little green feathery ball of
life. It has a tiny little yellow beak
and it has tiny little baby wings that have yellow and red
stripes on them, a little bit of black and then it has a red
little baby Talon feet with claws on the end.
And then it has a little bit of plumage.
It's got one red feather up on top and it's got a few little
red feathers coming off of the rear end.
And guys, that's it. It has very.
Other than that, it's other notable thing is that it has
very dull kind of half open eyes.
They're just kind of, like, glazed over and they're just
like. Tripping.
It looks like it's squinting a little bit.
Yeah, a little bit of a squint. Like it's very suspicious.
Also, what do you think the one feather on the top of its head
is for? Oh, that's got to be for
sniffing. OK for sniffing A sniffing
feather. A sniffing A sniffer, OK.
Sniffer feather. Yep.
OK, Mr. Curtis, any guesses? I don't know.
Let me let me go pick him up real quick and take a look.
Oh, OK, I picked up a little bit.
Yeah, no, no, I think this is for sniffing, I'm not going to
lie. Look, does it's for sniffing.
OK, well I know you're sniffing it, but I meant like does it
uses it to sniff? That's what I want to know.
No, I did. I'm sure it uses it it it does
like to jump around quite a bit so.
It does. It does.
Yeah, I thought it was going to jump around when I went to go
pick it up, but it not just let me pick it up it.
Kind of reminds me of Lex a little bit.
Oh, you know what? We should call him?
A name that's not Lex, but similar to it.
How about Alex? He's like all of Lex.
He's Alex. All of Lex?
Not really, 'cause he's a lot smaller than Lex.
Lex is Lex is getting kind of mad at us.
Lex, you keep doing your job. Don't, don't, Lex.
You're. Great.
The way you are, we're not comparing you, We're just simply
making observations. Honestly, Alex is a dope name
short for Alexander, and it also happens to be one of our
patriots. No, it is.
We have an Alexander. Yep.
And his mom, Tracy, she texted me and said, if you don't name
this Pokémon after my son, you're not going to have a home
to come home to. Whoa, Tracy.
Tracy Good. Man.
Tracy, if you could not threaten my students, that'd be that'd be
ideal. Come on.
Well, you you can threaten carbon.
Just don't threaten the professor.
That's what. Yeah.
Don't. Also, don't threaten Donnie Jay,
please. Right.
That's the I. Don't know what I would do if
something happened to Donnie Jay.
Donnie J is the best of us. Okay, we.
Fight a lot. But I mean, yeah, Donnie J is
the bomb. But yeah, thanks.
Thank you guys for being patrons.
We appreciate you. Yes.
All right. Alex, do a quick little flip for
us if you could. Do a flip turn.
There you Yeah, Yeah. So what's something that you
haven't seen not to do, since we not too you might expect not to
to do? Can you do a 360?
No scope. Well, we'd have to have a gun
for that. Never.
I'm not sure what you're scoping.
Well, it's kind. Of a jump.
Question. It jumps real good.
It flaps. It does like the jump.
It does like the flap. It did do a little bit of a
flip. Can you do a 720?
Oh, OK. OK.
That that was a 690 at best. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I I listen. I wouldn't know the difference.
So not To's are great jumpers and hoppers and skippers and
then in all manner of those kinds of things, but they can't
quite fly, so I mean. Not even a, not even a Flutter.
I mean, they can give it their best shot, but they can't really
like, you know, achieve. Fire away.
Achieve thrust, Right. So, yeah.
So we'll learn a little bit more about that going forward.
I'm gonna go ahead and put Alex back into their pokey ball if
that is okay with everybody. Bye Alex.
I'll miss you, little baby. Feathery bean all.
Right. Get back in here.
All right, let's read some Pokedex entries.
You got it, Dad. I mean nothing.
Nothing. Everybody make fun of him, he
called the teacher. Dad.
No, I didn't. I didn't say that.
I didn't say. Mr. Mime to you.
I said no, that's hey, that's not funny.
OK, We got to show you to confirm.
Come on, I'm. Going to tell Donnie J that you
call someone else Dad, he's not going to be happy.
I just, I don't haven't learned how to speak Mr. Mime yet.
It's so hard to tell him things. It's not that hard.
You'll learn eventually, yeah. Anyways, like you all right, So
starting off in the Johto region, the first entry says
because it's wings aren't yet fully grown, it has to hop to
get around. It is always staring at
something. Staring intently.
That was me when I first met Mr. Curtis.
I just stared. I was nonverbal.
I was like, what is that? Yeah, Well, were you like, what
is that? Or were you nonverbal, Corbin?
I was thinking, what is that? That I was nonverbal.
I see I. See.
And then I was like, it's me, a Mr. Curtis.
And you said, How did you read my thoughts?
And then I cried a little bit. And now here we are.
And here we. Are God.
The rest is history. The next entry says it usually
forges for food on the ground, but may on rare occasions hop
onto branches to Peck at shoots. Got to be low branches though,
right? I mean it can actually hop
pretty high as well. Read going forward the the last
entry from the Dojo region says it is extremely good at climbing
tree trunks and likes to eat the new sprouts on the tree.
So not only can it jump and hop, but can also like climb.
Yeah, it's got probably relative to its body size and weight,
it's probably got really strong talons, right?
Maybe whole feathery little hollow body.
And it's got these little baby talons.
Yeah, the click. Right onto the tree the.
First entry said that it has to hop hop to get around, but like
it could just walk. It's got it.
Could just it just walk? It doesn't have to hop.
Well, maybe it's clunky on the ground where it's soft, and it's
more comfortable on hard surfaces like that.
Mark, that seems like such a bad evolutionary.
Good thing it evolves. I mean, yes it does evolve, but
I mean like it seems like easy pickings for for Meoweth and
Persian and and Ekans and all manner of other carnivorous
Pokémon. True.
So it's it's amazing that any of these not to do get to evolve.
Right. Your your occasional B drill.
Yeah, B drills go crazy for Nazis.
Oh yeah, who wouldn't tear? Them up all right, moving on to
the hohen region. Not to cannot fly because it's
wings are not yet fully grown. Every time it says not, I really
want to say not to, but I won't. I won't.
Good thing if you're what? It's a good thing you didn't.
Yeah, good thing I didn't make that joke.
If your eyes meet with this Pokémon's eyes, it will stare
back intently at you, but if you move even slightly, it will hop
away to safety. Oh.
Hop hop hopping away, doing all the things that you wouldn't
say. So skittish, so maybe it's
hopping, you know, form of motion locomotion is is
sufficient I guess to get it away from predators or just just
I guess it can just hop really fast, I don't know.
Yeah, I mean that's his best form of speed.
It's the legs aren't big enough to carry it very far, so it
probably just does extreme hopping.
I mean, like, so. So not too is a psychic and
flying type, right? So far we've been told that they
can't fly. And two, it's dumb.
Nothing. No, no, I'm kidding, OK?
No mention of psychic ability. So, like, what's going on here?
Yeah, it seems like it's just a normal type.
To me, what is the? What's even the point of this
typing system if it doesn't, if it doesn't accurately describe
things? All right, We hear you.
Bullshit. I know.
OK, the next entry from the Helen region says not to has a
highly developed jumping ability.
This Pokémon flaps and leaves on the tree branches that are
taller than grown up people to pick up the tree's new shoots.
So I mean the. 7 year old Write that entry.
Why, oh grown up? People taller than grown-ups.
All right, let's not make fun of Was it Professor Birch?
Birch. Yeah, it'd be nice to Professor
Birch. The worst cargo bands?
We'll mock them a little bit. Yeah.
Well, OK. So, so it can jump higher than
grown up people, right. So adults I assume we'll assume
big kids that's like 5-6 feet that it can, it can hop over.
That's pretty good. Sure.
In your case, what 411? Professor, I mean, no, I'm 5
foot 10, all right. OK.
That's right. On average height.
Good day on average height. Are those lifts?
No, they're not. No, I was breaking.
I'm breaking. OK, yes, they are lifts, but I'm
breaking them in. I'm breaking them in for a
friend. Here's the question.
I'm like 60 times, yeah. Yeah, that's why.
That's why you look so much taller today.
Yeah, I'm not normally. This tall?
I thought you looked a little short today.
Corbin, you're like 3 feet tall. Why are you even talking?
Check yourself before I wreck
you self. Why?
I'm also Ted. I'm supposed to be small.
I mean, we can all agree though that Mister Curtis is like 8-9
feet tall. Curtis is 8 feet tall, and I I
if you straightened his back, it'd probably be nine, yeah.
Anyway, I'm glad he doesn't. OK, the next entry says.
It runs up short trees that grow on the Savannah to Peck at new
shoots. Now who's Savannah?
Why are there trees on her? No, it's a no.
It's like a like a like a grassy plain.
Oh, OK. Oh yeah, Savannah out jokes.
Never gets on the Savannah. So not to a not to's eyes look
as if they are always observing something.
What? What does?
What does that look like, Do you think?
What is what is what? What do eyes that are always
observing something look like? Probably Nattoos.
Great, Corbin, Great. Thanks for participating in
class. Mr. Curves Would you like to
chime in at all? I think Nattoos are very cute.
That's not, that's not the question, it's.
Not they're not bug types though.
The question was, I'll say it again, what do eyes that are
observing something look like? They squint intently.
No, I was about to say wide open like this.
All right, now we have a debate. Big, big, big eyes, big, open
pupils, please stop. It's like I'm taking in the
entire world when I look like this.
I like to think. Well, when you squint your eyes,
you're kind of sussing somebody out, and that's what it looks
like Natsu's doing like. I don't know about you.
Yeah. No, I I got to go with squint on
this one, Mr. Curtis. Sorry.
Yeah, shut up, Gold Star for me. Nope.
It's like yes. OK.
No, I just, I just think, you know, how can you see as much as
possible? You open your eyes really wide.
But you're not trying to see as much as possible.
You're trying to focus on something.
You're observing one particular thing, so you squint to focus on
it. That's OK.
You're right, Professor. Like always, that's all.
Let me put it on the scoreboard. That's.
Not going to argue with scoreboard?
Check. It out now, I think personally I
think it's like they're kind of like, you know, like they're
looking at something obviously they're looking at something,
but like they're making very small movements in their in
their eyes because they're trying to look at like every
different feature of it. So, like, they're looking, but
like their their pupil is like kind of like moving around a
little bit, yeah. I see that this kind of darting
around, they're trying to keep track of things.
That that's what I think. I think that's what an eye
that's always observing something looks like.
OK, moving on to the Sino region, the first entry says it
picks food from cactus plants, definitely avoiding buds and
spines. It seems to skip about to move
now. Corbin, you're also pretty good
at avoiding buds, right? So I don't have any.
Natalia said. You guys got to be nice to me.
No, no, no, no, no. No, Porsche, don't cut out that
silence. That silence is very important.
Continue, Professor. It's a yeah.
That whole time, Corbin was kicking his feet at his desk and
like, you know, like, you know, scratch at something.
Gordon says He's my friend. He says if I try hard enough, I
can become like him too. We need to, we need to explore
that because I don't like the connotations there.
Why? Because he's a cadabra.
Yeah. OK, so you do admit that he is a
kadabra that's dressed up? Like Mr. I mean, I admitted it a
while ago. Did he?
When he said that, did he like, hold out a Mr. Rhyme hat and a
cane and some big shoes? He did get a good laugh out of
it. Yeah, he was.
Like you could be like me like Mr. Was a Rothlin rolling on the
floor, laughing at the fact. About.
I didn't catch that. He was, you know, he was, he
was. He was not a human dressed as a
Mr. Rhyme. He was a fact, a Kadabra dressed
as a Mr. Mine. But.
Moving on from the center region, that was the only entry
there. Nothing new from the Unova
region and then nothing new from the Kalos region.
We do have some Alola Pokedex entries though.
Oh, finally, you snobs. Finally, they they've been like
the most consistent so far. They're like, oh, let me guess,
my Natu so much better. It runs free.
No, actually they don't say anything like that.
They say although it still can't fly, it's jumping tower is
outstanding. It jumps way up into trees and
plucks the buds from the branches.
And they. Also are so cool they can jump
so high things under the tree. The next entry says the look in
its eyes gives the impression that it's carefully observing
you. If you approach it, Natsu will
hop away and because of our sun they can hop away the best.
Because of how good the sun is here, it can hop.
Away. Oh, really?
Yeah. No it.
Doesn't. It doesn't say that doesn't.
I mean that tracks that sounds like something they would say.
Though. OK, so there's nothing new from
the Gala region, and I have nothing here from the Historia
region or the Paldea region, So let's go ahead.
Oh, wait, hold on, hold on. I think I have something here
from the Lentil region. Let me just double check.
Yes. All right, so it says that too.
Had no trouble getting around in the ruins.
Despite their complexity. These Pokémon aren't able to fly
yet, but they have amazing jumping power.
Woohoo 10 out of 10 jumping power.
Yes, I I wonder what those ruins that Professor Mirror is talking
about. Got to be the ruins of Alf.
Maybe maybe we should take a field trip to the lentil region
at some point, so see all these sites that mirror has has
described for. Us.
Well, hey, there's ruins here. We just haven't gone on a field
trip yet. Ruins of Alf.
That's down the road, right the way.
We should There's a Pokémon coming up that would make sense
for that. Oh, Turk, Twig.
Yes. All right, so let's move on to
the original Pokedex entries. The first one comes to us from
Ash's Pokedex. It says Natu.
The tiny bird Pokémon Natu moves around by hopping and always
seems to be staring at something.
I mean. The tracks.
Yeah, I mean it's pretty much the same thing as the Canter
region Pokedex entries. Thanks Ash.
And then there's one from Dawn that says Now Dawn's entry.
I believe is exactly the same as as the one from the center
region. So maybe I'm.
I might just not read it. Oh, come on.
Don't waste hard time with that one.
All right. It's a little bit different.
I'll read it. Please.
Thank you. Natu The little bird Pokémon
Natu evolves into Zatu. Write that down.
Write that down so we all know for the for the end of the.
Lesson I got it right here. I'm tattooing it right now in my
hand right now. Wow, he's stabbing himself.
With his. Oh my God, Mr. Curtis, stop it.
Stop, stop. Forget, forget.
So that's not good. That's not good.
This is mutilation. I'm not appropriate.
You know, I I love the enthusiasm miss occurs, but I
cannot help but notice that you did write down decidui.
You did tattoo decidui on yourself.
Oh man, I without without necessarily that two thing
that's that's a that's you're you're just stabbing yourself
with a pen. That's not good.
That's got to be you got to get, you're going to get lead
poisoning or something, maybe ink poisoning.
Ink. Yeah, I mean pen poisoning.
Oh, with the amount of venom that I ingest on a daily basis,
this little ink right here couldn't hurt me.
Vomiting. Crying, vomiting.
So hey, so Natsu evolves into zattu and skillfully picks food
from cactus plants, avoiding buds and spines.
It appears to skip about to move.
Hey, Corbin, you're also pretty good at avoiding buds, right?
This is this is. What you're hearing now is the
sound of a single tear rolling down Corbin's cheek.
You have to listen very carefully.
Listen really close. We're all gonna be quiet.
You can hear it rolling down his cheek.
It's just trickling. There it goes.
Hello. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. OK, so I want to book a second
session tonight with Perry. Yeah.
Wait, Perry is doing bookings now?
He's moving up in the world. Yeah.
Sorry, that was that was his secretary.
Who's his secretary? Kerry?
Oh, is it Kerry? Did he get Kerry?
The Secretary Kerry. Is it Mary?
Did he get married? No, it's not Mary.
There's no Mary at the school, OK?
Somebody else, he recruited. It's no one.
Is it your dad? Is it Donnie J?
Donnie J picked up a part time job so he could support your
your study abroad. Oh, Donnie.
Yes, it's Donnie J all right. Donnie J is the secretary, He
said. I love you too.
Or he might. That means we can add Donnie J
into the Saffron City Learning Server as staff.
Oh my gosh, Donnie. Oh.
No. Well, I mean, he's remote.
He's remote. Just don't bring him here,
please. That that was by by the way, I I
was on a phone call. It was a it was a, you know, it
was a webcam call because I was he was the reason you didn't
hear anything was because he was miming because that's the only
way I could talk to him on the phone because I can't hear him.
OK, yeah, sure. OK, Wait, so he wasn't talking?
No, he was not talking. Yeah, I had to pull it up.
And it was like, it was a FaceTime call, right?
So And then he mimed. He mimed to me as I said, OK,
whatever, this I don't care anymore, professor.
The point is, you made me feel bad and I'm double booking with
Perry tonight. OK, cool.
And Donnie J's the secretary. There you go, kids.
Right down your lure. All right.
Continue. Don't call the students kids.
Most of them are older than you. Doubt it.
OK. So that does it for all the
Pokedex entries on Nat two. Does anybody have any questions
before we move on? What are we having?
Our next Cookie Party? Questions on Natu, please, Let's
focus. On Natu, no questions to your
professor. I'm good.
OK, so today's assignment is I would like both of you.
Gonna put away my Rotom laptop, gonna.
No quiz for me. No quiz.
I don't want it. OK, we never put away your Rotom
laptop. I'm sorry, Put away my Pokedex
and pull at my Rotom laptop. So we are doing a poem today.
Oh. Yeah.
I would ask you to give me your very best poem on not to.
Yeah, you will get the best of the best.
Again, this is this is more of a participation thing, but please.
It takes skill. Please do the best that you can,
Corbin. You always knock it out of the
park, Mr. Curtis, anyways. I'll take your time also.
Great. Thank you.
Mr. Curtis does great job, Professor.
I'm done. Okay, Mr. Curtis, if you could
please not shout in the middle of class if you're done.
If you're done, you can just put your pencil down.
I'm sorry by pencils down. All right.
You don't have to say anything. Yeah.
Settle down. Settle down, dude.
Settle down. Corbin, are you still writing?
Are you done? I'm good.
I'm Gucci. I'm gang.
OK, well, if if that's the case, please read your poem for us.
All right, this is a good one today.
It's a little bit different than my normal ones, a little bit of
a different scheme to it, Really.
Yeah. I call it not to you.
Too small to fly. Not to you.
You scale the forest trees too timid to stare.
Not to you. Gazing.
What do you see? Too weak to jump?
Not to you. You skip with joyful Glee.
Too sharp to eat? Not to you.
Avoiding cactus leaves. I don't want any other Pokémon
if it's not to you. That's pretty good.
I actually went to not to you for my for my graduate studies.
Oh wow, is. That a real place or is that a
joke? No, it's a joke.
That one's a goof. Guys, I know I don't want to.
I don't want to take away from Corbin.
OK. All right.
All right, Corbin, that was an excellent poem I loved.
I loved the shift in tone, and I loved the kind of like little
little surprise not to at the end.
Very good. Fun.
Little fun, Little fun with the whole family, yeah.
And on top of everything you included, information that we
learned in class. Very, very good.
So good at this, it's the only thing.
He's got all right. And now on the other end of the
the spectrum here, let's see, let's let's hear Mr. Curtis's
poem. Let's gas him up here, we.
Go, let me hold on. Let me just get a quick get.
That syrup in Come on, it's a quick one, a little chug of
syrup. It's a little.
Quick one for this. This time it's.
A little chilly that time, all right.
It's it's the ice cubes. That's right, my sweet grounded
burb. Your wings are not fully grown.
The extended eye contact we hold is superb.
I love the way you hop and skip to roam spines on your cactus
you're picking food from, you're not disturbed.
Your love of tree shoots is well known with With your good jumps
and observation skills, your personal space is never curbed.
Thank you. I think he just writes stuff and
then he just tries to find a word that rhymes at the end.
The The rhyming ninja. Mr. Curtis strikes again.
You never know what he's going to strike.
You never know. You never know when the next
word is going to rhyme with the last word that he said.
You should. Guessing it doesn't.
It doesn't. There doesn't have to be any,
you know, even amount of syllables or any sort of flow to
it. It's just words.
And then the occasional word rhymes.
It's hard for me to focus on what he's saying because I'm
like bracing myself for the. Next you're waiting for it, so
you got a roller coaster waiting for waiting for it to drop.
You're like, where's the rhyme? There it is.
Now did you? Now it seemed like like the the
rhyming sound Mr. Curse was herb for a lot of it, like burb.
And so there was there. Was two different ones.
It went back and forth. It was A/B, A/B, A/B, A/B.
Yeah, yeah. Wow, an expert.
So it was Burb, superb, disturbed and curbed, And then
on the other line it was grown Rome, and well known.
OK, wait, did you say Rome? Rome as in Rome, Rome around.
So that doesn't. Rhyme.
Rome with grown and well known. Grown and known, I'll give you
that. I don't know about Rome.
Rome is, Rome is, a is, a is. If you, if you like, 'cause
like, you kind of have to trick people into thinking that you're
saying Roan for it to rhyme, right?
That's that's what, that's what. That's what a slant rhyme is.
It sound. Listen, it sounded like it when
I said it. Right, right, professor.
Right, Professor. No, stop.
Stop hitting my shoulder. I'm not.
Come on.
Impression. No, stop.
Stop nudging me with your elbow and winking.
It's not. I mean, listen, you're going to
get full marks. Everybody gets full marks.
Woo. Hoo.
Corbin did better on this one. Always.
But hey, I'm not. I'm not going to pick a winner.
I'm not going to pick a winner, but it.
Was I am. Yeah, it was you, Corbin.
Good job. OK, so that does it for our
lesson on Nat Two. Does anybody know who we're
talking about next week? And you should all not?
Too I got it right, I got it right here on my hand.
It's it's just situa why? It's not decidui.
It's not your your horrible bloody mess of a tattoo.
It's not. It's naughty.
No, Well, I mean maybe it depends on, you know, they're
all it's a. Similar name, right?
It is. Yes, is.
It Batu. No.
Jatu Fatu. Glatu I guess if you go to
entire alphabet. You'll ha tu?
OK, hold on. Let me go through a tu batu satu
datu. Yatu.
Fatu hatu. Let me start backwards, Zatu.
I mean, yes, yes, it is Zatu. It is.
I mean, not with AZ, with an X, but it is Zatu.
But it's. Pronounced like Z, like zatu.
Yes, I believe. All right.
But it's a green bird. It doesn't.
Are you sure it's not just a July?
Let me just check my notes here. I'm just going to go ahead and
flip to where this July is still flipping.
Hold on. Still doing a couple of flips

Pokémon games that makes it a little bit more difficult.
