Hello there and welcome to the world of Pokemon.
My name is Professor Jacob and this is my lecture series on
Pokemon biology, joining me here.
Today as always is my wonderful teaching assistant, mr.
Curtis say load everybody, mr. Curtis No.
No. Your human voice, your human
voice. That's that's bat speak for.
Thank you Professor. I'm so happy to be here and be
part of the class. Well, it's not you because if it
was bad speak we wouldn't be able to hear it at all because
it wasn't the term ultrasonic. There's a whole of it that's
Outlook and I had to bring it down a couple registers for you,
but there's okay frequency. Curtis, I don't think you're
speaking. King is what's bad.
I think it's more of your writing and spelling.
Well and that person who can't hear anything is our trainer and
training Corbin. Say hello to everybody Corbin
Coco is that you're that you're bad impression.
Yes. Of what?
I mean, I don't know. I'm a kid.
Is that would that sound like? This is we're all doing our are
cause for the Pokemon or the call the cries for the Pokemon
now. Apparently.
According to mr. Curtis, I'm just I am just
following his lead. Is that what a bats is?
I would have that. Sounds like no, it's not.
No no. What I did was the sub
ultrasonic sounds that a zoo batter go bat would transmit.
Okay that's what I was doing. All right.
I'm gonna do my impression of a
bat all right? Okay okay sure.
Do you see that? Because because you can't hear
anything because, wow? Right?
Because it's ultra Sonic. You can't hear those register
way too high. Wow, cancer.
Wow? That's, that's a talent.
She going to kantos Got Talent. That was really impressive.
Yeah, the sad thing about that shows that Canto really does not
have talents. Yeah, it's kind of sad.
It's really sad likes. People would like they liked
ride a unicycle, but then they fall on their face.
Yeah, the dinners are. Okay, the jugglers are okay.
Well, they're Trying to start one that said that, a parody
version called Canto, doesn't have any Talent whatsoever.
And I think the host is going to be Ash Ketchum because he can't
win a Pokémon League to save his life.
Yeah, there's somebody who knows, no Talent.
It's Ash Ketchum. Ash Ketchum baby.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Um, all right. But, you know, let's get let's
go ahead and get started on the lesson.
You may be wondering students at home, why we are talking so much
about bats and we're imitating them.
That's because today we are learning about Zubat.
I was going to let them know. I think they are, you know,
because we're image so it up. Well, yes Zoo bad, which is, of
course, the bat Pokemon. Now, I can't believe there's no
way that you guys haven't seen a Zubat, like, you walk into a
dark forest at night or into a cave in your swarmed by the darn
things. I mean, I've look, I've been
camping once or twice with a couple friends and I think I
should. Okay, and if you share my
zubats, I've seen a few sure Sure.
Yeah. Here and there.
Okay. Okay.
But have you ever really like taking a look at them?
And we were like really looked at a zoom as just just the
desiccated corpse has that I find in the, are your dos webs
outside my house? While I mean, they're gonna fly
into them. They they're going to have to
prepare it to be sucked. Dry.
That's right. One of my camping trip, one of
my friends, quote friends, grab one of the zubats and stuck it
in my face and that was a good clothes.
Look but it was also kind of dark and it scratched me a lot.
So yeah, well I mean did you get like you know, did you go to the
doctor because these things are very poisonous?
I mean not really, I decided not to because my mom was like, you
know what, honey, let's just let's just not let's save a
buck. So I mean everything's been
fine. I just can't haven't been able
to see out of my left eye for three years but that's okay.
You've grown accustomed to it at this point.
Yeah. Yeah it's fine.
It's like I'm a pirate but you can't you can't tell.
This is why we this is why I can't do needs Universal Health
Care like it's about time I think all right hey we're not in
this class to hear about your political statements Chesser.
We're here to learn about Pokemons.
Whoo, korben korben. Hey, what Professor is the
professor? Okay, if he wants to talk about
his, if he wants to spend a lesson talking about his
political business, then God started, you will sit in that
table chair, it will take notes. Okay, alright guys.
Well that's that's fair. All right.
I mean, I am. I am right?
I will have you in the hallway. Picking up a choke droppings
with toothpicks. No, not again.
Wait, wait, wait. Is he picking them up?
With toothpicks or did the Machoke droppings have
toothpicks in them. Both, oh, no.
Who's been feeding them. A chokes toothpicks again.
Did they get into the office closet?
Again, they got, they got into into my, my Supply Closet.
Yeah, they needed to, they're obviously looking for some
roughage. I mean, you can only eat so much
protein powder without some kind of.
I'm not gonna lie, eating even toothpicks for roughage in your
diet, it's pretty metal. I'm not gonna lie, Very Metal.
Yeah. And guys, I can't wait to talk
about the Machop Machoke and but champ Line, it's gonna be so
much fun. Yeah, we're gonna have to wait
because we're talking about somebody else today.
Yeah, yes. We're talking about Ziva.
And, you know, I asked if anybody had really take a look
at them, you know, it's kind of hoping to segue into showing you
guys the Zubat that I caught, but if you guys, if you don't
want to do that, I just want to skip over that.
I guess I can just go ahead and start, you know, you know, maybe
I'll just skip right to the pop quiz, you know, since nobody
wants to be a team player in the that's fine.
Whatever gets out early. I mean no of course Professor
please I guess your every moment I guess your Corbin you'll do
the about the same on the quiz whether or not you've heard all
the information on too bad, right?
Just just bring it out. Okay, just breathe.
Alright, here's here's the Zubat.
Well, he's, he's a good. He's a quick booger.
I'll tell him that. He's quick.
He's put one up here, here. Korben korben.
If you will go ahead and like hold your hold your arm out real
quick and mr. Curtis me.
Please turn off the lights. What?
Yeah why whoa, whoa hold on. Are you are you trying to
assault one of your students because that's not going to
work. If there's you want you holding
out your arm purposely, want the Zubat to attack, right?
All right, my arm is out. Okay, lights are off as a matter
which arm, okay? It doesn't matter, quiet be
quiet. See, zuba is going to think that
you're like like a tree branch or a stalactite and it's going
to come and try to hang out with you, okay?
Okay, okay I feel it, it's like kind of its kind of cold so it's
weird. I don't know, how is it?
How is it hanging? How is it hanging there?
Can you get a good look at it? It's dangling upside down.
Well yes of course but like is it using It's little tiny little
like needle-like things. I mean him, it looks like that.
I can't really tell it is hard to tell it's dark.
Dude, I can't see anything. I just feel it.
Okay, mr. Curtis turn the lights back on
and they're present. Its flying around again.
Oh Jesus Christ. Okay.
Yeah. So do we want to do?
We want to say okay give me. What's your first impression of
the zoo bad. What do you see here,
flashbacks? Okay.
But beyond that beyond the the time you had a Zubat thrown in
your face. Oh small blue, fluttering
annoyances. I mean that's 100% correct.
They are small and blue with a little bit of purple and they
are extremely annoying. I I don't understand what those
two long needles are coming out of its butt.
Is it like because they're its feet?
I think that's how it hangs on things.
I don't know. It was dark.
I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell you.
I couldn't tell you like they can't.
There's no way. Antenna.
They're not antenna. No, that doesn't seem right.
I don't know what they are. Maybe the Pokedex entries will
tell us, but one thing that really bothers me, creeps me out
about these guys, is that they don't have any eyes.
That is true very, very good observation unless there's big
flappy things with purple inside them or eyes.
Now, those are its ears and it's very important that it has those
ears because it doesn't have eyes.
Now question, have you heard this Zubat?
Make any noises he's been Quiet the whole time.
You still fluttering around and see how actually he's been
making noise this entire time. It's like nails on a chalkboard
if you cannot hear it. Mr. Curtis Bo.
It's is just, it's very uncomfortable.
What's a comfortable about it, huh?
Yeah. It's right.
It's just, it's like what's it sound like, is it?
Like, I told you like nails on a chalkboard?
Like what screams? What does that sound like?
I don't know if I've ever heard that before.
If you'd like me to repeat, I'll go for you again.
Okay. Yeah.
Go for it. But like way higher sounds like
my grandma and maybe your grandma's the Zubat.
All right let's let's go ahead and put Zubat back into the
pillow. You gonna aim the Pokeball it's
flying around constantly. How are you gonna catch that
thing? He really kind of just throwing
pokeballs into the air and then they like suck in the Pokémon.
All right? See well, Mama's you back gets
sucked. Okay, here we go.
All right, it is time to get into the real meat.
The the meat and beans of the lesson.
The means potatoes, if you will the pile of the protein of this.
Last the, the potato and the termites of this lesson.
Let's, let's look, let's look at all the Pokedex entries.
Let's learn a thing or two about Zubat.
All right, starting off in canto, forms colonies in
perpetually, Dark Places. What does Zhu Zhu Pet does?
It does Okay. Yes, I mean again we're in
canto, we don't use any kind of, you know, identifying noun or
pronoun or anything. So dodging idea what it is uses,
ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets.
Okay? All right, cool.
The next, the next one says, emit ultrasonic cries.
While it flies? Yeah.
Ryan's, I like that. Poetry the Pokedex entries.
I like it. Thanks Professor Oak.
They act as a sonar used to check for for objects in its
way. Yeah, when it says, they, I
think it's talking about the ultrasonic cries.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Not the Zubat itself.
I don't know. I mean, what are the best
pronouns? I don't know.
It's, you know, that thing. Thing thing minor thing was,
what, like you walk in pain, you walk into a kegger gets worn by
these things. Not only are they poisonous, but
like, if they want to, they can like confuse you with their with
their like ultrasonic cry if they want.
And like Like she was, you can use all your Pokémon, and that's
gonna be your day. It confuses you and it cries
constantly. It's like a flying tiny blue,
baby. You just don't know what it
wants, and it's just flying around crying.
Oh, yeah. That's a good point.
I really thought you could say a tiny blue.
Flying mr. Curtis no, Chris Curtis, not
tiny, but he is annoying. Well, that's why I said Tiny I'm
going to read Next Century. Good, you do that.
Thank you. It has neither eyes nor unknown
as I love it. Whenever a pokedex entry says,
nor nor it has neither eyes, nor knows it's a, mitch ultrasonic
cries that bounce back to its large ears enabling it to fly
safely. That's real shame.
Imagine not being able to smell pie.
That sucks. I need ya snow pie.
I mean, I mean, it would be a godsend to not have to smell
Curtis all the time. That's true.
That's the appeal. But not mean that Zubat will
never know, the, the joy of a freshly bathed Shroomish smell.
Yeah. And like yeah, I'll never know
the dankest, the Shroomish smells dankest, Gary smells you
know, the tank is just a reminder for other students.
Gary, the Shroomish is our gardener here at the school and
he is, whoo. Who get a good sniff of him on
the way to class. You were going to be seeing
things on the wall all day. Yeah you better pack your bags
because you are going on a trip. Yeah.
You better pack your bags because you're going on an
adventure to do it right? Yeah.
Very, very good job. Good cool, thanks.
Alright, so yeah, it can't see can't smell which is kind of sad
because like smell is a large portion of taste to like right.
Like when we taste things like part of that.
Station is the smell that it gives us, right?
That's true. Yeah.
So, honestly, being a Zubat as a sad existence, if you ask me,
all right, why? They're so annoying, they just
want people to notice them. That's really sad.
When you think about it, like
that, they just want people to notice them.
That's not about Zubat. There's so many of them, they
swore you because they want to be noticed, and they're
constantly crying, but nobody can heal them.
Bring them back out. Sit down, sit down.
I can't I don't believe you believe it believe it okay let
me go ahead and move on to the Johto region and Johto region.
They say while flying it constantly emits ultrasonic
waves from its mouth to check its surroundings capable of
flying We in Dark Places and I meant ultrasonic Christ check
for any obstacles during the day.
It gathers with others and hangs from ceilings of old buildings
and caves. I assume with its little tiny
needle things with its little tiny needle legs.
Like I guess they're like to have like little baby grip lers
on the end and they like attach onto things or maybe they like
me, maybe they liked, I am like shoe strings around, like, oh
no, Rock Is there something I don't think about that?
Well, they probably just have like sticky things or something.
You know, you think sticky. I don't know about that.
Like a gecko, I guess. Yeah, sure.
What's a gecko? Oh, sorry I'm of course, I meant
to treat a trick. Oh, Raikou, I track that we
Treecko Treecko tree. Yeah, treat just to slip in at,
uh, yeah. I had something in my throat.
I caught a little bit while I said Treecko sorry.
But yeah, probably like that. Okay, so yeah, we have ceilings
of old buildings. Caves where they live pools with
petroleum or dark perpetually, Dark Places.
Another place that we've seen that they live.
How about a meadow or an old plane?
I mean, maybe a PL, a any plane that's like, old and Russia.
That's what I meant. Yeah.
Of course, like an old plane on a meadow, well, not a meadow, no
matter because there's nothing for them to hang off of there.
So no Meadow, right? It has to be shaded so they can
stay in the dark. Right?
Right. Okay.
But if you did, how can they, how can they move forward?
If they're always living in the dark?
You have to see the light. I don't care.
Okay, let's move on. The next, the Hoenn region I was
trying to be inspirational but that's really not my forte.
No, it's not. It's not yours either.
Apparently I never said, it was inspirational Professor, you
encourage me every day just by being alive.
He tells you to shut up half the time.
What do you mean talking about? Yeah, it's really, I'm really
not encouraging to shut up which I'm trying to do.
It encourages me to think of better things to say, what a?
We always should do that, buddy. Okay, let me, let me read the
Hoenn region pokedex entries. Oh wow.
It thank you Zubat. Quietly unmoving in a dark spot
during the bright daylight hours.
It does so because prolonged exposure to the Sun causes its
body to become slightly burned. Hmm.
And yeah. So it's got a Hider it's gonna
get burnt really bad. Yeah has very sensitive skin.
These do bats. Okay.
Well if you ever throw Zubat out and battle against a fire type
Pokemon, you're an idiot. Funny.
Yeah, honestly. If you ever use a Zubat during
the daytime, your crew, Ou'll like Zubat should not be flying
around in the daytime because like the sun can burn them.
You're not just major Tentacruel maybe but maybe if you had some
Zubat sunscreen, you would instead be tenta cool.
I'm real tinted. Cool trainer.
Okay, I guess it was funny when you did it for now and I did it,
I guess. Hey, what can I say?
I'm the class clown. It's how know I.
It's, it's just so funny. It just I couldn't you forgot to
breathe. I understand.
He admitted a loud cry. That of the frequency of his new
battles. So yeah, an ultrasonic cry.
Yeah, you can. Okay, the next one Lotus, I'm
sorry. What was that?
Mr. Curtis what do you love? I don't I mean I love the idea
of somebody rubbing what sunscreen on their Zubat like I
mean you would have to it looks like it's just sounds like a
really nice thing to do. It's like it's like a bonding
experience. You're right.
Before you do back and goes and gets squished.
You're in battle, right? And like a Steelix or or or
something just knocked out your Pokémon.
Its he put it back and you're like, all right, I Choose You Go
Zubat and see if that comes out. You like, all right, come here,
come here real quick and this about flies up to your ear like.
All right, here's your little sunscreen, I'll put it on your
belly. I'll put on the top of your
little head and on your ears and it's like a boom.
And then yeah. And then I just feel like
staying out of nowhere, just crushes it.
Yeah. Waste of sunscreen to.
Yeah, it's a shame but hey, they got to get experience somehow.
They'll never Evolve otherwise. Yeah, exactly, right.
Alright, the next one says Zubat, avoid sunlight because
exposure causes it to become unhealthy.
That's pretty vague term. I guess during the daytime, it
stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses sleeping,
while hanging upside down, what the hell does that mean, the
eaves of old houses? So, like, you know, how, like,
when the roof kind of like, overhangs Zen Eve, or is it just
a roof in general? It's somewhere along the roof.
I think it has to be an old house.
I guess we're the underside there.
Like, the underside of the roof, where, like, if the roof comes
down at an angle, mmm, then there's like a little bit of a
gap in between the wall and the oh, yeah.
Bit of the roof. That's, that's the Eve.
So yeah. Wow, the country now, like a
wraparound porch, what were you saying Professor?
Well, Just gonna say, I'm very impressed with your
architectural knowledge there, mr.
Curtis, maybe you should be a doctor because he was struggling
it on his class, laptop. I just saw it.
No, when my house got condemned and torn down by the Kanto
authorities, I had to build a new one.
So I just, you know, got a recent refresher in architecture
terminology has that one doing? Is that how they found that one
yet? It's so far.
It's okay. They haven't found the
underground Colony yet. That's Compromise the New
Foundation. But so long as you don't put too
much roof on the much weight on the roof than the house will be.
Okay. I think they would have learned
by now mr. Curtis not, not to encourage
Colony growth directly underneath your house.
He doesn't learn, but I, I just need them close to me.
We're talking about mr. Curtis is horrible, horrible
spinarak experiments for for those students who are just
joining us on this lesson in case we're not being clear here.
All right. That's the more from the Hoenn
region. So let me read those well living
in Pitch Black, Caverns, their eyes, gradually grew, shut and
deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to
detect obstacles. Yeah, so that, I guess they used
to have eyes and eyes at some K. But then they grew over, they
become vestigial and then they re grew their eyes back when
they turn into gold bad, I guess.
Well, I mean, that's a, that's an evolution, that's a different
thing. All right, there there's a
there's a Reason why a Golbat needs eyes.
Oh, well, I guess we'll talk about another time.
Yeah, maybe. Hey, maybe come back next week
and you'll find out why go Mets need eyes.
I might, I might, I might be there.
Well, you have to, you have to Corbin, you know.
You want a good grade. You paid for this class.
That's right. That's true.
Okay, the next one says it has no eyes.
Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for
echolocation to flit about in the darkness and the last one
says Is it forms colonies and perpetually, Dark Places and
uses ultrasonic waves to identify and approach targets?
Okay? I think one of those is a
repeat, although they all sound like repeats because they're,
yeah. So very similar, pretty
repetitive. All right, moving on to the
Sinnoh region even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles
using ultrasonic waves and emits from its mouth.
Right, right. Whoa, the next one says
disliking sunlight. It sleeps.
Deep in forests and caves until sundown or So it's also in
Forest. So we got Force caves caves,
Eaves of old houses Old buildings in general planes
planes. No claims, no, will PLA.
And he know the Pokedex is haven't said that explicitly, so
we don't know underneath Charizard's Wing, you know.
Like, it doesn't know, probably not that.
There's a lot of emotion going on there and the Charizard is
going to be awake during the day.
Day when Zoo vets, trying to sleep.
So it just really wouldn't work out that well true that's true.
Yeah. Okay.
The last one from the scenario region says it checks its
surroundings and location using reflections of the ultrasonic
waves from its mouth. Right?
That's we already said that, it's just a new way of.
So the waves come out of its mouth and then bounce off of a
surface and go in through its ear.
So real out then in kind of scenario.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Making sure you guys fully
understand because the Pokedex Pokedex is seem to think of this
is the most important part of Zubat.
Like this is, this is the most important thing about to bat
not. The fact that it can or the only
thing he's supposed to be not now the vet that it can confuse
enemies with its cry, not the fact that, you know, it has a
poisonous bite which never talks about not once and any of these
injuries, just the fact that it's screams and that's how it
knows where it is, it's just plagiarizing.
What a one-track, a one track mind here?
Yeah. They it's like, it's like the
one Professor was like, yo, can I copy your work?
And then the other Professor was like, yeah, but like, don't make
it too obvious. That it's the same thing or
whatever, change it slightly, so it looks different.
Yeah, they all ended up copying each other.
Like they don't even try to hide it.
No, they really didn't. I mean especially not in the you
Nova which literally copies the things from sin, 0 and Johto,
what word for word, same with Callo.
We're not even going to read them, but a Lola, of course,
always flies to the tune of its own drum so in hot.
Yeah, so let's go ahead and read those it sleeps in caves during
the day it has no eyes so to check its surroundings while
flying it emits ultrasonic waves.
All right, so that's pretty cut and dry.
Now this next one's a little bit more interesting.
It says, when exposed to sunlight, they suffer Burns.
Okay? We know that the next part says,
the frequency of their ultrasonic waves.
As can differ slightly from colony to Colony, so they kept
the slot. Who's from which colony like?
That's that makes sense because there's so many of them.
What if a colony drums, that joins up with another one and
they run into each other, like, oh, hey, how you doing going
this way? See you my relatives.
Hi, how are you? And then one of one of their
friends gets lost in one of the other colonies that they're
meeting up with. And then how they got to find
that person, they have to differentiate based on their
calls. Yeah.
So like a Zubat goes to like to like the bad part of the cave
and it's like, yeah. Hey hey, where am I?
And the zoo vets like and a different.
We can frequency, you can't get it wrong.
Part of town kid and the zoo Babs.
Like, do you think zubats discriminate based on their
calls? Do you think there's like,
really like Prejudice zubats was like, oh, this Zubat sounds like
this. He's got this frequency.
He's not part of our clan. I mean, II, don't know, all I
know all about Pokedex has and so I can't really tell you this.
But, um, alright, the next entry, Re here says it has no
eyeballs so it can't see. Great, thanks a lot.
Thanks, it took some surrounding via the ultrasonic waves that
emits, from its mouth and the last one says, their skin is so
thin that, they'll be burned if sunlight hits them.
So that's why they get Burns because their skin is thin, all
right when it gets cold out, they gather together to warm one
another's bodies, you know, they should do, they should do, they
cuddle? They need a date.
Zhu, Pets. Need the sandwich themselves.
In a couple wigglytuff's. Those are some soft little Bean
babies. Now that's that's, that's the
kind of gilfer. Yeah, a little-little is, I
would not describe a Wigglytuff as little I'm an artist
Wigglytuff. Can be any size, you want it to
be. Not it w.
It's so not. Not too small though.
Can't get smaller. Are we sure about that?
I mean it says it can inflate its size but also very radical
at we had the class last week. You tell me.
Hey sir, mr. Curtis.
Maybe I have another assignment for you.
You okay. How tiny can I compact to
Wigglytuff? Oh, you don't don't ask you to
do that. Don't ask put it in a series of
smaller and smaller boxes, don't do that.
It's real, do that? No, don't do that.
Don't make it. All right, I could use something
really cold, like dry ice or something to try.
And if I put it in a box with dry ice, could help it shrink
down to a smaller size, gonna because the pressure of the air
and its body will decrease and therefore that decrease I can
see that I could don't-don't-don't mr.
Curtis no, no, no. I mean, it is the balloon
Pokemon. You see what happens when a
balloon gets cold, right, right. It gets all wrinkly and like
small and shit. That's right.
You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I do your jumbo okay.
Cool tracks in on itself but I do think we need to do that with
a poor Wigglytuff. Okay, we don't need to advertise
my checklist. For if we don't, we don't need
we don't need a concave Wigglytuff.
Okay? You're right, you're right, we
shouldn't do that Corbin. But unfortunately we Have to for
no we don't we don't we really don't sign.
We are going to do it for science is the thing no mr.
Curtis oh yeah science go ahead and report on that.
Next next lesson there mr. Curtis and what your findings
are? Yes, sir.
I was staring at. Okay.
The this last poker country finishes when it gets cold oh
wait I already said that. Okay, moving on to the gal our
region they say here that it emits ultrasonic waves Its mouth
to check its surroundings, even in tight caves Zubat flies
around with skill. And the last one says Zubat live
in caves down where the Sun's light won't reach in the
morning. They gather together to keep
each other warm as they sleep. No tough to keep him warm
because tough still live in caves.
Yeah. Dono wigglytuff's, or that's
really pops or originally Puffs, maybe they can get some deflated
Cliff are, he's too kind of, so that's not a thing.
That was just a dumb fear. We that you had go fairies
cannot deflate telling you, they're just it is true, they're
Hollow, they're body, don't know.
I mean you could find out you don't know it's wrong.
No we're not doing another tank of me after they could be after
the I finished with the Wigglytuff, I can work on the.
He after you I have to leave cracks Knuckles finishes finish
with the Wigglytuff. Please don't give him any more
scientific Abominations to work with please.
Whoa. Are you saying Pokémon are
Typical Abominations. No, but he makes them scientific
about. He does that, doesn't he?
Alright, that does it for the regional Pokedex entries.
We have one unique pokedex entry that comes to us from ashes
Pokédex. It says here that Zubat blind
Pokémon with supersonic Powers. Rude, you bet live in caves and
hate to fly outside in the daylight.
I like how. Yeah, it just kind of just kind
of says, blind Pokémon. Haha, you blind Pokemon, it just
sounds rude. The way it's worded, it doesn't
say it's his to say. It is a blind Pokemon or Zubat
is a blind Pokemon. It's just like Zumba blowing
Pokémon, we've already established that a she's not the
smartest. So he didn't write these, he
didn't write them. It's just pokedex entry, he
wrote it, right? No, the Pokédex talks to him
like it has some Kind of it's like it has a brain of its own.
Oh my God. What Shroomish are you smoking,
bro? I've seen it happen, man.
It is freaky. How he gets it to work.
I don't know how, I don't know. Yeah, puff, puff pass my right.
I don't know what magic he put in there to get it to like have
its own thoughts. I don't know it.
Today. I can early rotate just like an
early Rotom day. Whoa whoa whoa.
Whoa whoa please. Students raise your hand and I
will call on you my hands up. Yeah, mr.
Curtis fuck yeah. I was just saying it's almost
like a Early Rotom decks? Yeah, I'd be surprised if there
wasn't a Pokemon in there. Controlling it.
Whoa, no. Are we hands up?
Okay, moving on. How are you going to tell me
that Pokedex entries? I mean Pokedex has Rai units,
some of them are I mean the Rotom ones are but it's hard to
tell if the Rotom Pokedex is are you know coming up with our own
stuff and reading that or if they have you know pre-written
things That they read off, whenever they notice a Pokemon
that matches that entry, right? I don't know.
Listen, I didn't invent the Pokedex.
Has I just, you know, I just read them.
Yeah. You just that's all you do easy
paycheck, huh? Well, I mean not, it might be an
easy paycheck, but it's not a big one.
I'm struggling. Professor, why didn't you tell
me? I can get a second job or a
third job to help you out. Yeah, well, I mean it would be
your fourth job, right? But what's your What's your job?
Well, his G, the teaching assistant, and he doesn't get
paid for that. You've said a thousand times
that he doesn't get paid. I can't, I get paid in knowledge
and experience. And knowledge is let's be honest
here, more more important than money, right?
And credit towards my, my own, my own senior poke researcher
degree. Yeah, who's gonna be in your
class Curtis cheese. I'm going to research.
I may not teach you don't know. I mean I don't want to know.
Okay, the last thing you need to do is research and let alone.
Teach people how to do your Abomination, researches.
Okay, obviously people, I'm willing to do the experiments
and nobody else's. I don't know how to braid of his
genius Corbin. Don't be, it's not genius, you
know. It's you're right, it's not
genius, its progress. It's pure progress.
Think you're afraid of Of it, that's what I really needed.
All right, all right, everybody settle down, everybody settle
down. All right.
If that we're done reading the Pokedex entries, but I actually
I have it's not a little while but I have a nice uncredited on
Source article here. Let's fact check it.
Yeah, well yeah, let's all together I'm going to read out
and we're going to fact-check It's let's give it a shot.
Zubat is a blue bat Pokemon. That's alright.
Lat so far so good, you'll marks While it lacks eyes.
It has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with two
sharp teeth on each jaw. Don't know about that insides of
the ear a little bit more fuchsia, but keep continue.
Well, I mean, there are two different shades of purple so
that's what up so wrong. So this is interesting.
All right, I do now, but tell me if this is true or not, a male
will have larger fangs than a female.
Oh, I don't know. I did not know that.
Could be potentially true. I mean, it didn't say anything
about Out that in the Pokédex but I didn't I didn't notice.
It goes on to say it has purple Wing, membranes subordinate by
to elongated fingers. So those are fingers.
I guess what? Okay.
Yeah, those are like it's hands of this little fingers, okay?
Yeah. Sure why not sure.
Um and to long thin Tails, Tails not feet.
Yeah. So it's it's claiming that those
are two tails, okay? So does it hang off its Tail's I
guess I don't know. I don't know maybe it maybe it
has tiny little feet that we can't see, maybe it's like under
its fur so he one of these entries would just say that but
you know, who knows? I mean one would hope but hey at
least now we know that it uses ultrasonic waves to, to locate
its where it is. Yeah, we've only heard that 30
times 30, but jillion times. Alright, this entry, this
article goes on to say Zubat lives in Abundance in caves, it
has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils but instead
navigates through dark environments and tight caves
with echolocation, right? It will leave it sobota at night
with a mass of other Zubat, in order to seek prey during the
daytime Zubat sleeps, hanging upside down in caves forests, or
under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at
all cost. Zubat also gathered together in
groups during the Hang in order to stay warm while they sleep.
Correct daylight? Yes.
Correct. Correct.
So far, good. Yes.
Daylight causes do back to become unhealthy and prolonged
exposure can even burn it skin. Like wish they would be a little
bit more specific when they say unhealthy, like it makes it
gives it a cough. It gets like a headache, a
migraine or something like my family and might get some sort
of skin cancer or something, you know, I guess.
But it says prolonged exposure converted skin.
But well, yeah, that's how gnu if you and I sit outside in the
sun. Too long, we're going to get
scatter, it's the same way. I think they're just extra prone
to it okay but immediate exposure.
Immediate exposure to Sun makes them become unhealthy like right
away. Maybe they get sunstroke, maybe
maybe yeah, sir. Maybe they I don't know, maybe
they get a headache or I don't know, I don't know.
I just wish it was a little more descriptive.
So okay. However, captured and trained
zubats have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the
daytime. Even when We exposed to Sun
Beams, I'm sorry. Don't you?
Keep? No matter how much you train as
do that, it's not going to change the thickness of its
skin. And so going to be very
suitable. Never no sunlight.
So, never use your Zubat during the daytime.
Yeah, I don't know about that. Entry after a couple weeks in
this class, my skin is become pretty thick.
Yes, very excellent. Metaphorical joke there mr.
Curtis very good. Thank you.
Professor. What I really strive for is to
make you happy will keep striving bud.
I think they try a little bit harder this article finishes off
by saying in colder conditions Zubat gathers with others of its
kind for warmth. Nice.
Alright. So that's all the information
that we have on Zubat. That's so I think it's time, I
think it's time to test how much you've learned.
We're not taking a test, are we? No, no, but we're taking a pop
quiz, okay? That makes more sense.
Hmm, which is almost as fun as a test.
Speaking of which actually, I need to give you guys more
tests. No, I don't think.
I feel like, that's okay. I've been leaning on this.
This pop quiz. Crutch for far too long and it
comes with a an actual test for you.
Nah, we're okay with quizzes, I think I'll think about it.
Think about it. All right.
I would love more chance to just get more feedback from you.
Professor? Yeah.
Just it's a place where you can really prove yourself.
That's right. Maybe I can make it some kind of
competition thing between you. Ooh, I don't think God.
Okay. So go ahead.
Put away your Pokedex is get out.
Your Rotom laptops, a pen and a pencil.
Got a calculator. Yeah, maybe it.
Bring out your anatomically correct.
Zubat model. So you can use that for
reference if you need to have have a protractor.
Well, unfortunately, protractor will not help you.
In fact, in fact a protractor is cheating on this one, so you're
you are gonna have to put those away.
Oh put my poet actor. Way.
Okay. Activate your Protec.
I put my voice actor, away. All right.
Is everybody ready? Yes, hold on.
Yeah. Okay.
All right, great question. Number one of the five senses,
which do we know Zubat doesn't have.
All right, both of the answers are in.
Let's see here. Corbin responded with Zubat does
not have the ability to see or smell.
That's right. And well, I'll tell you whether
or not, it's right, all right, let me sit back down.
All right, I'm not sitting okay, and Workers responded with.
We know that Zubat cannot see, that's why they need ultrasonic
cries to fly safely. All right.
So yeah, interestingly, yeah, it's interesting enough.
The answer was smell and sight. So mr.
Curtis Italy. You did the way you weren't at
that question. I thought you were looking for
one answer. No.
I said. Alright.
No. Mercy of the five senses which
do we know it doesn't have. So Which do we know?
I mean I don't know. I dad sight and smell mr.
Curtis it's time to start paying attention me.
No man, mr. Curtis I don't know what to tell
you. Corbin understood the question.
I know I know of the five which do we know they don't know what
I was thinking. I could also potentially doesn't
have taste. I mean, that's not really the
focus, I thought about putting that in there but that's I mean,
it's not look at it, it doesn't have a tongue.
Doesn't have a tongue. So yeah, I just have a ton but
like no tongues, tongues, as a ton know I'm a ton of love but
it's got a tongue but taste involves smell so I mean does it
does it? Well whoa does it have a tongue
though? Corpsman take a good look at it.
I didn't I don't know I didn't look in at the zoo.
Okay to see its tongue. Its mouth is really kind of just
like a gaping black hole. Yeah it's kind of curse his
brain because you got that question.
Wrong. Ha ha ha ha.
All right let's not make fun of people were getting questions
wrong. All right, Clark.
Because karma make swing back around and bite you with your
rectly, on the buttocks, which Pokémon is that karma?
That's not a Pokémon that said, oh, that's a universal truth
that exists in all of us. All right, the next question
here. Question number two.
If you will, what is what? I don't even get half credit for
that one. No, you have credit.
Okay, good. I mean you got it wrong.
You got you get really right. I will I will write a three.
A page essay. Before the next class, please
save it. You might have to write more if
you get more wrong will say, just to like flesh out my answer
because I failed this one. All right.
Question number two, and I put a put a number on this one.
So it's a little bit more clear. What is one?
Consequence of a Zubat having very thin skin.
Now, there's multiple answers here if you want.
Extra credit, go ahead and put two or three but I just need
one. All right now, They all have to
be correct. So if you give you an answer
that's wrong you will get like so like you say like one.
That's right. But you try to go for that extra
credit and you put one that's wrong.
Then you got the whole question wrong.
So be careful with your okay, your answers here.
So why is it bad that it has? No skill, does it just what is
one consequence of Zubat? Having very thin skins, not
necessarily bad it's just you know because it has thin skin,
it also blanks. All right.
Both of the answers are in. The question was of course I
said it multiple times before but whatever I'll say it again.
What is one? Consequence of Zubat?
Having very thin skin Corbin responded, with it gets
sunburned, very easily and that was just one answer.
Didn't he didn't go for the extra credit there.
Yeah, just that man. It feel like it.
Okay, Curtis responded with zubats thin skin.
Causes it to sunburn when it is exposed to sunlight.
Right. He went on to say taking a risk
here. It also makes it very
susceptible to cold which causes them to gather in groups to stay
warm. Oh yes.
That was, that is another answer.
Hi guys. It gets cold easily so you get,
you get extra credit there, mr. Curtis nice.
I had to redeem myself. Good, good job.
My couldn't remember the, the extra reason why so I just went
with one. I will also say that another
possible answer here is that it has no eyes.
That is technically a consequence of it not.
I've been having thin skin that's tricky.
Okay. I don't think I would have
gotten that but they know Professor.
This is I'm going to write more notes down.
This is perfect. Great.
I'm glad I'm glad you're really, you know this class is given you
everything you want mr. Curtis I'm happy, I'm happy that
I can everything and more Please stop laughing.
That's really glad that it's a fully.
Satisfying you I hate that. I want to leave.
Well I'm going to call my mom. Please stop it.
Corbett and Corbin sit down. We still have two questions
left. I'm sitting.
Okay, question number nine, I'm pretty sure you stood up there.
I heard the chair. Well, I definitely heard it when
you got up. I couldn't help myself.
I sit back down. Only here that chair.
I want to hear that chair Screech Corbin.
Sink down. I've been sat.
No no. Okay.
All right. Fine.
Question number three. How can Zubat determine if a
fellow Zubat is from a different Colony?
Mmm. Mmm-hmm.
Okay. All right, all the answers are
in. So let me go ahead and read
Corbin's first. It says that the the way that a
zoo back can tell, if a fellow's, you have some, a
different colony is based on its specific cry /, echolocation
noises Mr. Curtis responded with Zubat can use the frequency of
their ultrasonic waves to determine if they are in the
right colony because the frequency of their ultrasonic
waves differ from colony to Colony.
That is exactly correct. You see the keyword that I was
looking, therefore there was frequency.
Well there was a little bit. I'm a little bit hesitant to
give it to to Corbin here. Why don't you why don't you give
me 99% of it? You know.
I'm going to I'm going to give Answer, I think I think that's
correct and that's fair. That's fair to be to be fully
correct in A wise choice. Well, it doesn't matter what you
think. Okay.
Alright, this last question is a fill in the blank question?
I know, they're mr. Curtis is favorite.
Thank you. Thank you Professor.
I'm so excited. Really?
He is excited. All right, question number four
is zubats are blank. Meaning they only sleep during
the blank, so you bats are blank.
The only sleep during the blank zubats are blank, meaning they
only sleep during the blank. This one is easy peasy, lemon
squeezy. Okay, Corbin respond.
When I'm gonna like read the full sentence again and like,
input your answers. We could do that.
Always I didn't do that. All right, Corbin's answer is
Zoo. Bats are nocturnal.
Meaning they only sleep during the day and then mr.
First responded with again, I'm going to fill in the blanks.
I'm going to have him fill in the blank, zubats our Zoo bats
are nocturnal. Oh wait, no, wait, no.
He, uh, he underlined his answers I didn't even know you
could do that on this platform. Wow, yeah.
So no, he did. He wrote it all out.
He says, Do bats are nocturnal, which means they only sleep
during the day. Yeah, excellent.
All right. Great job there, mr.
Curtis, I had to listen I was I was working for you Professor.
I love to push the boundaries. Yeah.
So yes you guys are both correct as events are in fact nocturnal
meaning that they sleep during the day.
So full marks there and that does it for today's quiz.
You guys did end up both getting 100 so I'm mr.
Curtis was able to save his His previous failure.
Nice good work, mr. Curtis with game the bonus.
He could have got another bonus point but he only went for two
instead of three. That's okay.
Anyways that does it for today's lesson on Zubat, does anybody
know who we're going to be talking about next time silver
bat? No, that's not a Pokémon Golbat
query, mm aquarium bat. What question zoo instead of Z
are your men Him that no Chuck. You're wrong, it's not aquarium.
Bat, it's not silver bat. It golden bat.
It's called Vasa Is Not Gold bat.
In fact, very close to its goal. Bats.
Gol gol baat? No gol baat, gold bat.
Yes. So yeah, that will be next time

You can contact me on Twitter, the bird Pokemon theme social
networking site, ask wwo Pokémon there as well, but yeah, that
does it for today's lesson, so wait, what about the ratings
unflappable? They have to raid us apps.
They know. They know how to go to Flap.
Oh, podcast. And give us a five star rating.
I don't need to remind them that I think you should.
I heard. The prefer, I heard a rumor that
the principal says, if we don't get enough ratings in the next
few weeks, we're going to shut the class down.
