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 spooky
classroom today. You're scaring me, my wonderful
teaching assistant, Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis, if you could please
say hello to everybody. Oh well, I thank you Professor.
I'm so happy to be here today, OK, you can tell his voice a
little bit muffled, but we'll explain that in a second.
Also joining me here in the classroom today is of course our
young trainer and training, Corbin and Corbin.
Stop. All right.
Professor. Professor.
Halloween was yesterday, if I'm not mistaken.
So all the theatrics, all the scariness.
You're a little late to the party.
I'm sorry, obviously we don't have class on Tuesdays, but you
know, which is when Halloween was.
But you know, I figured since we have class today, we'll make it
a little bit fun. We all dress up in costumes, so.
Of course, I asked everybody to dress up as a Pokémon that we've
learned about. So, so Corbin, I guess, do you
do you want to go first? Sure, yeah.
This is my makeshift Perry the side up costume that I that I
wore last night when I went trick or treating.
Around Goldenrod it's it's specifically a Perry the side up
cost. It is.
I did. Do you not see the little tie
here that I did? Look at the little tie right
here. That's cool, right?
So that's. Yep, that's.
Perry. Yeah, Perry, Signature tie.
But yeah, it's kind of made of cardboard and stuff.
It's not, you know, the best durability because I don't have
much money. But you know, it's it's about
the ingenuity. It's about the ingenuity of it.
It's about the creativity of it. Is it real?
Is it is it real Psyduck feathers that you've used for
the no. No, no, no.
No. How have you obtained this
fuzzy, golden appearance? I ripped open my pillow and I
painted the feathers that were inside of it.
Yellow and then I pasted them on to this, which by the way, if
anybody has a spare pillow, please send it to my house.
I am out of pillows. See, I can't.
I can't sleep without without exactly 9 pillows.
So unfortunately no. Corbin, are you Are you sure?
This paint, they look a little stained to me.
No, it's it's not. Mr. Curtis it is way too soon
into the lesson for you to make jokes about my former bed
wetting problems, OK? I'm just saying former.
Got to be, got to be honest. I'm not happy right now.
No, this is paint, Mr. Curtis. Do not know this is paint.
Do you understand me? And I think it's a really
creative, fun costume. Thank you, everybody.
I'm glad you had fun with it, Corbin, because hey, because you
know what? Learning is fun.
Sure is. All right.
I think that's the lesson, the the main lesson that we can take
away from here and also the Pokémon that we're talking
about. But we'll get to that in a
second. Yes?
No, Mr. Curtis, I can tell the professor you are.
Your costume seems to be related to my costume a little bit.
Well, yes. I mean, where would you be if I
couldn't be who I am? Of course.
Do you want me to describe myself first?
Is that what you're saying? Or?
I don't like your costume, professor.
I think it's best if we don't talk about it.
OK, we shouldn't talk about it. It's not a good costume.
I don't want to talk about it. Oh, we we talked a lot about
your costume. Because mine is fun.
It's Perry. Everybody.
Everybody at home loves Perry. The side, Doc.
OK, I'm a I'm AB Drill. It's your favorite Pokémon,
right? It's it's so good.
It's so it's so it's so lifelike.
It's almost more lifelike than the B Drill that we looked at,
but in class, you know, because of the the event.
No, no, we don't. We don't need to.
We don't need to talk about it for students who forgot no well,
the B drill that we learned about in class, unfortunately is
Nope. Well, it's having rough times on
on account of Corbin's actions. That wasn't OK.
It's just last we heard that B drill was a little.
Type taken before his time. OK, he's not dead.
The B drill did not die. It's still in.
It was just care though. It's.
I think the nurse stories haven't figured it out yet.
It's still tubed up, I believe, as we call it, on life.
Support. Yep.
That's what the kids call it these days.
They call it tubed up. I'm pretty impressed with this,
with this outfit. I took soda cans and I fashioned
them into like, the two needles on the hands.
I have, like, you know, little antennas.
And I got some netting on the back for the wings.
I think that's pretty good, right?
Yeah, yeah, Professor, I I mean, I would almost mistake you for a
real B drill if. I saw you yeah it's it's listen,
I'll give you props it's realistic.
But I I I just want to move on. I just, I'm having can you take
it off actually? Are you going to wear it the
whole class or I might have to take the the the hand needles
off because it is like impossible to pick things up
with these right? I do not know how B drill.
I guess B drill just stab stuff and then like does it, but like
can't do anything. You know, I can't like type like
this or write things down like this.
I need my thumbs of course. OK, but this this kind of leads
us into Mr. Curtis's costume. Which?
Yes, of course. Let me, let me just get this,
take this helmet off. Thank you.
There's that. There's that smooth voice we
love so much. Then now I can talk and and
breathe frankly. But yeah, no to to to
compliment, of course, the Professor speed drill.
There was only Pokémon that only one Pokémon that I could be in.
That is of course Kakuna. So I have of course wrapped
myself in some silk from some of my lovely spinner axe and I
rolled around in the dirt so I'm nice and and and tan brown just
like a Kakuna. And then I've got this this
that's the color of that Kakuna is.
And then I've just got this, this big helmet that I put on my
head. That I sharpied out the visor
for so it looks like I got the black eyes like Hakuna has.
Hey Corbin, when should we tell Mister Curtis that he's color
blind? Yeah, I don't think.
Let's just let him think he he got the right color.
It looks really good, Mr. Curtis.
Good job, buddy. Looks so good.
Thank Thank you for sleeping bag.
He's guy looks all comfortable in that in his.
It it is it is very comfortable to be wrapped up like this.
I if you if you guys want I can I can get you guys all wrapped
up and soaked you. Know that's OK.
I don't want to be wrapped up in anything that you that sounds
like a trap. It sounds like a trap.
I mean, you know, sounds like a threat.
It could be all wrapped up like a nice silicon on a Sunday
afternoon. Nah, that's what I like to say.
Well, we haven't learned. Best looking yet, so you can't
talk about it. Them's the rules.
OK, before we get into reading the Gengar males and into the
lesson proper, I do have a very important announcement I need to
make. A lot of you may have noticed
that Corbin is falling back into his rapping ways.
It's getting, it's getting worse and worse every day.
So we need, we need to make sure that he's, you know, he's able.
I don't need help. I don't need help.
Well, Corbin, you're going to go to jail if if you if you don't
get help, so we're sending him. To Corb Mindy.
To a a a Rap, A Rapaholics Anonymous.
A rehabilitation, if you will. Sure.
A wrapping rehabilitation camp. Why are you guys divulging my
personal information? Are you supposed to be behind
Critique City? This was supposed to be a
secret. I don't.
Supposed to know this. He's going to get some fresh
air. He's going to, he's going to
like, learn some ways to mitigate his wrapping.
This is. Embarrassing.
You guys could just end up going to camp, All right.
So we will be taking a break from November 1st to November 20
a few seconds. We will not be posting lessons
in between then so Corbin can, you know, make sure his his
rapping addiction is is taken care of.
It's not fair. You're just doing this because
you're you think you're my guardian now in the Joeto region
or something, so you think you just have the right.
My mom would never send me to rap rehabilitation.
Listen, I didn't want to do this, all right?
She is the one who told me that you got to send him.
And also there was the nurse, the not the nurse choice, the
officer Jenny's that came in too.
And they were like, we know he's been doing it.
You gotta you gotta send him up there.
They literally have you on recording.
They do, yeah. They're like, do this or we'll
send him to jail. This is ridiculous.
I don't want to go, Professor. You'll have fun.
You'll learn how to do knots, and you can learn how to start a
fire and all that stuff. Maybe they'll have Pokémon there
you can play. With start a fire with my words
and you know yeah you were OK that's nice.
Just to reiterate. Oh.
Put it away. Sorry.
Just to reiterate, we will be taking a very short hiatus, so
this. Lesson.
Say it again for the people in the back who are going to ask us
Where are you? Where are you?
Sorry, I I can't not do that. We are take taking a break,
taking a short hiatus for three weeks between.
So this lesson will be going up on November 1st.
You're listening to it now, so you know just.
Today, yes, today. And then our next lesson will be
CENTRIT, which comes out on the 22nd of November.
So everybody have a good November I suppose and we'll see
you at the end. Well, kind of the end.
Ish I. Don't want to go, all right.
I'll be thinking about you every day.
I won't be thinking about you, Mr. Curtis, He'll be thinking
about us for sure. Now let's before we get into the
lesson and talking about a very, very important Pokémon.
I have some ginger males here that I would very much like to
read if you would indulge me. I will permit it, yes.
Thank you. Of course.
The first one comes to us from a trainer named Topa.
Topa. Topa.
Yes. TOPA a Top and an A maybe Topa.
Topa, top of the morning. To you it might be like that.
Top, top of the top of the pile. Well, Topa, you.
Can of e-mail write in again and let us know how bad we are
mispronouncing your name. But they say hi Professor Jacob
Corbin and Mr. Curtis. Hi.
Hi.
I am Topa or Tapa from a town Tallos.
I'm a late student, but I have finally caught up since I
figured why not? You get it?
Yeah, I know we haven't learned about.
Why not? Yet that's good.
Why not? Since I figured why not, I'd
like to share one of my drawings I spent some time on.
Thanks for the great lesson. Since my sister is a Pokémon
performer traveling the quote UN quote world of Pokémon, I could
never find a place to stay long enough to get my license.
However, after finding your virtual classroom, I'm on my way
to get my first Pokémon, hopefully a shroomish, and
possibly join my sister in a joint performance.
What do you guys think? What kind of performance do you
think a shroomish could put on? Oh, ballerina, You know, like a
like a nice techno. Show because you know if you if
you shoot the lasers through the through the light, you know
through the sky. It helps to have like dust and
spores in the air so we get the shroomish to.
Like. Puff a lot of stuff up in the
air, Corbin says Ballerina and Curtis says fog machine.
That actually would be fog. I like that.
Actually yes, actually 100% fog machine.
This is my shroomish. Her name is Fog Machine.
That's a mouthful. Honestly, that's the perfect
name for Shroomish. I love that.
Anyways, Topo goes on to say I hope you guys like my drawing of
what I assume you all in the Saffron City Learning Center
look like. And they also say look into the
windows for Easter eggs. So they have this wonderful
drawing here and we'll try, we'll try to remember to post
it, but we've been very bad at that recently.
Looking at you, Portia. Yeah, Portia, come on.
So yeah, David, it's it's like a little comic.
It says should I read it out or should I just yeah?
Yeah, you're more than. Actually, each one of us should
read our own own parts Here, Professor.
I'll. I'll.
I'll hold this out to you first. What?
What is it? What are you?
Holding out the the drawing so you can read your line.
I have it. How did you get it?
I also, I also have a copy. OK, well I have a.
Copy. I print out multiple copies of
every e-mail, of course. Yeah, I mean, what better way to
waste the resources the the GCLCBOTSCLC of course.
OK, so I say, does anyone know what today's Pokémon is?
All right, Corbin, this is your line.
Oh, we do. We are we're wait wait, we're
doing characterized versions of ourselves.
Professor, you're you're line. Yeah, I know.
I'm not very good at character work, Corbin.
I'm not very good at character work.
OK. I don't sound like that, Mister
Curtis. That's me.
Dang it, man. This is a wonderful drawing
though, but I don't sound like. That does.
Does anyone know what today's Pokémon is?
That's what I sound like. That's what the professor
sounds. Like.
And then Corbin's like like that.
All right, fine. I'll be, I'll be.
I'll. I don't even want.
I don't even want to say my line now.
You guys keep making fun of me. All right, here's, here's,
here's his. Line.
Take it. Take it from the top.
Take it from his line, Mr. Mime. Mr. Mr. Mime.
That's. Not MIME.
That's not funny. That's not funny.
That's not funny, Mr. Mime. Sorry, what?
That's not funny. That's not funny.
OK, Professor, Professor. From the top.
I'm in character. I'm getting into the mind.
Does anyone know what today's Pokémon is?
Oh, did I get my first Pokémon today?
Clearly it's decidui. Or maybe Arctovich spirac.
It could. It could be anything.
Wait, hold on a minute. Wait.
Corinne, can you and I be like like the whispering in the
background of his? Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh yes.
He does have, he does have text spectrum, so you have to be
whispering. Yeah, like like be whispering it
when he says it. OK, here we go.
I'll I'll start at this, the second sentence down like below.
This is great for anybody who's not looking at this picture
right now that we're definitely going to post on Twitter and
Discord. So are you going to start with
Professor Jacob Chesnutt? Is that what you're saying?
You get a whisper, Professor Jacob Checknath.
So you could chase the order of the text entries or maybe like
that. So it doesn't start there,
though. I know well, but I want us to be
saying different things. Yeah, I was going to start see,
I was going to start with like the professor's great ideas that
could know we'll change the entire world of Pokémon.
Something like that. Oh, OK.
OK. So you could start halfway
through and I'll start. Yeah.
All right.
Here we go. And here we go.
And character work, guys. We're really good actors.
Do we want to start from the top again?
No. No, Yeah.
Yeah. We'll start from the top, OK?
OK, Third time. I have no idea how much of this
people will be hearing. Here we go and go.
Does anyone know what today's Pokémon is?
Oh, do I get my first Pokémon today?
Clearly it's deciduous. Or maybe Arctivist or spinner
rack. It could be anything.
Wow, that was so good. That was good, whispers Mr. All
right. I had to.
I had to act out the the comic of, of course.
Mr. Curtis, I think your performance could be a little
bit better. I know you're not that good of
an actor. I mean, I'm not the best either,
but I'm sorry, but you're no notes for for the old, the old
Prof over here. I think yours was fine.
Your performance was fine. Great.
Thanks. I have to say I like the the
spinner rack and the Aria dose in the in the window behind my
character in the comic. Yeah, and my character has some
magic carps and a. Was that a jump off behind me?
That's a jump off. Yeah.
Oh wow, Look at Corbin knows knows Pokémon now.
This is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful piece of art.
Very. We will do our best to remember
to post it when this. We will 100% post it.
That's right. So thank you so very much, Topa,
you of course get extra credit for this.
Mr. Curtis Where are we on the On the Golden Star here Golden
Star? Gold Star.
Of course that's this only deserves the finest of gold
stars from my from my Gold Star Reserve collection Can you can
you see the amount of detail they put into my eyes?
And and the and the you know, the stripes and the faces on the
back of the spinner axe? They.
It just it makes it makes me miss my my colony back home.
This is there is a lot of detail in this for sure, and I I don't
even like Mr. Curtis is really creepy in this.
So. So you get a Gold Star, a a
reserve Gold Star for you. Thank you, Reserve Gold Star.
OK. All right.
Well, thank you so much, Topa. Let's move on to the next Gengar
Male. It comes to us from Jinx.
I think we have definitely. You've definitely read Jinx's
emails before. One or two?
One or two. One or two.
Thank you so much for your submissions, Jinx.
So this one is it's titled Deli Birthday Gift.
Yeah. So Deli birthday is a still a
little ways away, but I figured we'd open this gift a little bit
early because it's just too good to to keep.
Every every day in class with you, Professor, is a gift.
OK, we're just going to, we're just going to sit in this filth
for a second. It's gonna wallow in it.
No, I wanna keep going past those awkward okay.
All right, so jinxes. e-mail says.
Hello everyone. It's me again.
Jinx. Hey hey, if I'm correct, this
letter and a very large package should hopefully reach you all
during the spinner rack and or Ariados lesson close to Deli
bird day. I had already posted a photo of
it on the Discord but I still wanted to send it in all its
glory. Please be careful because it's
very heavy and fragile. It's a great deal of time to
perfect. Best regards, Jinx.
Wait, what is it they they said or we haven't?
We're having listeners and students send us packages now.
Is that what's going on? Yeah, I guess so, but I don't
know how they got this address, but it's this giant package
behind me. Oh, that one.
Oh, OK all right. I thought that was part of your
desk. I I have already looked at it,
but I'm going to pull it out for you guys.
What is it? Is it something cool?
Is it something? Oh my God.
Oh wow. It's disgusting.
That's. Extremely rude.
It's no, it's not like bad artwork.
It's great artwork, but it's horrifying.
Jinx. Why did you draw that?
Is that the? I?
Honestly, I don't think it's horrifying.
I think it's looking hardly soothing, weirdly So what we're
looking at is a stained glass window with a depiction of the
Night Mother, I believe because it is a Nurse Joy with some
strikingly aerodose like features.
I hate how well done it is, yeah.
It's so beautiful. It is very good, but it's good.
It goes digging horrific. Professor, can I take this one?
Can I take this one back to the shack I'm living in here in the
JoJo region? I mean, I would love to have it
in the classroom, but because because we are in a purely
spherical classroom, there really isn't a place to put such
a large stained glass window. I I could, I would carve out.
A hole in the severical sidewall floor ceiling of the classroom
for this window, if you so wanted, Professor.
I could think of nothing better to look through for every class.
Well, we'll decide where we wanna put it a little bit later
on, but we. Won't it is in the on our
Twitter on the Discord, although I they've it's already been
shared in the Discord. So if you're on the Discord,
you've seen this. You've already seen it because
you're a cool kid, OK? But anyways, so thank you so
much Jinx for this wonderful. Thank thank you, Jinx.
Jinx. You're very talented.
Awarded and Gold Star. You get it.
I I'm, I'm, I'm deciding. Yeah, yeah, a reserve Gold Star
for you. Jinx as well.
And the and the You know what? And a blessing from the night
Mother, she she grins fondly upon you.
Oh God, so toothy. Curse, curse or blessing?
Who knows? OK, so it's time to get into the
lesson in earnest. So does anybody know who we're
talking about today? This is something scary.
I mean, no. May.
Well, maybe a little bit. I guess.
No. You know what it it really
depends. It really depends on how you
look at it. This is a place of academic and
science. But it's a water type, right?
It's allowed. It's a water type and it's the
evolved form of crocodile who we talked about last week.
Oh, OK, yeah. So Pumpkaboo, What?
It might not be scary, but it is a little bit ferocious.
Ferocious. Oh, so, Trevin Trevinant?
Yeah, I was going to say Trevinant water type guys water.
Oh, oh, oh. Water.
Oh, sorry. Just just situation.
Well then it's definitely for alligator.
Yes, we are learning about for alligator.
Yeah, alligator is one of my favorite Pokémon fun fact about
me. Oh, OK, so it's not scary then?
No, it's scary how much I love it.
OK, so for alligator is well, you know what?
What? What is for alligator known as
Corbin since since it's your favorite?
It's known as the big Bad one in in the circles that he runs in,
that's. Right, Isn't it called the
ferocious wet one? Isn't that what it's category
name it is? Well, yeah, but that's only when
you're doing the Pokedex themed Mad libs and.
It asks for a adjective and a noun for alligator.
Gotcha. That makes sense.
Yeah, and then you put him in a pile and everybody has to pick
which one's the funniest. No, it's the big jaw.
Pokémon is what for Alligator's probably known as.
I have a for alligator here today, so I'm going to go ahead
and throw it out. Whoa.
It's even cooler and burst. All right.
Wow. OK.
It's immediately taking a very, very close interest into Corbin.
Whoa, why does it like me so much?
Why is it like, it's like kind of like sniffing at me?
Yeah. Well, OK.
While it's doing that, let's describe it real quick.
Sure, it's it's pretty big. It's a lot bigger than I thought
it'd be. I've never seen one in person
before. Oh my gosh.
OK, it's not. Blue.
It's bipedal, but oh, now it is quadrupedal.
It's on all fours now. OK.
It's behind you, yeah. It's got some red spikes, these
big Reds here, hold on. I I see what it is.
It it it it just doesn't know what my costume is.
Hold on, let me put my helmet back on for for alligator.
No, his attention's still on me. I don't.
Maybe it doesn't have to do with the costume.
I mean, now that I'm thinking about it, I think side ducks are
common prey for alligator. Oh really?
Maybe your maybe your costume is just too convincing, Corbin.
Oh, oh, oh, I I, I, I listen, I I am not a real side duck, OK?
I mean, you know, harm. Oh, God, it's growling.
Oh, you gave it a nickname, Corbin.
What if you what if you gave it a nickname?
Maybe they would not want to eat you then.
Nickname, Yeah. Sorry, I could, I could.
I could do that. First of all, I didn't.
I didn't finish describing it first.
You're attracted to tears. Oh, I'm seeing that now.
OK well first of all it has the little V cream thing on it's
stomach kind of like toe to dial did.
It's like a bigger, more ferocious toe to dial and it's
got those scales all over it's arms and and feet.
What is that? Almost?
Kind of looks like it has cargo pants, huh?
It almost does a little bit, but it looks really cool.
Okay. I'm thinking this thing is going
to crush me like a Matt or crush me like a melon.
I'm just going to call it Matt Melion.
That's also one of our patrons, Okay.
Wow, how topical. Wow.
Who could I guess it? Just happens to be.
I don't know, it was weird Coincidence.
Oh, hi, buddy. OK.
All right. Just you want to take sniff my
hand? No.
OK. All right.
No what I could do that. OK, That's.
Fine, OK, yeah, keep keep your limbs inside your costume at all
times. Professor, this is scary.
I don't know how much more. Whoa, whoa.
Did the lights just go out? There was a slow Thunder crash.
Wait, is everybody is everybody OK?
I'll get the lights. Hold on.
Let me. I don't feel the four
alligator's breath on me anymore.
Could somebody turn on the light or something, please?
OK, wait. OK.
The light, the lights came, the lights came back, the switch
didn't do anything. The power went out.
Guys that definitely slipped something.
Guys, check your fingers and toes, guys.
Yes, guys. Where's the feralicator?
Where's Matt Million, Matt? Oh, where did it?
OK, where? It's so it's so big.
There's so few places to hide in this classroom.
Where could it have gone? Matt.
Maddie Mr. Mellion Well, I'm
sure it'll be fine. I mean, we don't.
Yeah, that'd be fine. It'll it'll be fine.
It's it's it's a it's a pretty well trained.
Guys, this is a little bit different than a a, you know,
Shaq the Jigglypuff escaping in the Canto classroom.
This is a little bit different than that This is a a
bloodthirsty Ferraldigator, right?
Listen, it's one of my favorite Pokemons.
Cool. But like, do I really want one
running around? You know, all around our class
and our school. Probably not a good idea.
Corinne, you're right. It's fine.
You're right. And we should figure out the
best way to find and recapture this for alligator or little
Matt million, Matt million. Matt million, Matt million
right. Matt Million, not Melon.
Not melon. So I think the best way to do
that is to read the polka dot countries and get into the.
Oh, Professor, that's such a great idea.
I actually think that's a pretty suitable idea for this.
All right, so let's get this lesson going.
Starting off in the Johto region, the first entry says.
When it bites with its massive and powerful jaws, it shakes its
head and savagely tears its victim up.
So what? Why, we think?
Does that help us in any way? Or.
So that's just going to. That's just a.
That's just going to happen, man.
That's just going to that's what are the so so we're going to die
is what you're telling me This is it.
Well, I mean it's it's a lot more interesting than you, let's
be honest here. Yeah, yeah, so.
I'm going to die. Yeah.
So, OK, yeah, Massive, powerful Jaws.
I mean, that's that's like common for this line of Pokémon.
Interesting that it it shakes its head savagely to tear up its
victims. Oh, that's going to be me, a
real ripping and tearing motion, the next entry says.
It is hard for it to support its own weight out of water so it
gets down on all fours, but it moves fast.
Once it's on all fours, it's like.
Yeah, it was. It was, it was out of here very
quickly. It some would say maybe even
faster than a gold duck, but it can definitely only, yeah, very
specifically faster than a gold duck.
But yeah it but it can only. I think it can only move like
that for very brief moments of time.
Right. So.
That's all it took. We could probably outrun A for
alligator, given you know enough distance to start with of.
Course. Uh, huh.
Yeah, because we can run for longer, right?
You've been you've been doing your your daily running, right,
Corbin? I do more.
I'm more of a biking kind of kid, not as much running, but I
mean, I could hop on a bike and definitely, oh, that's not good.
That's not good. No, no.
Biking's faster. That's not good.
That's not good, man. We don't.
There's no bikes. There's no bikes around here.
Well, I have a bike outside. I parked it when I rode my bike
to school today. I threw it in the lake.
It's gone. Why would you?
No, you didn't. Don't lie to me, OK?
Maybe I didn't. Maybe I watched him do it fly
down after class. It's in the lake.
Why are you teasing me? Why are you bullying me?
I'm not bullying you, Corbin. This is bullying.
Oh, I have your. I have your pen.
Pouch.
What are you going to do? Give.
It back. Please get it.
I had to make it myself. Out of a plastic bag, Please.
All right, Here you go, Corbin. Oh, thank you.
See, that's what bullying is. I'll.
I'll give you something to bully about.
Wait, no, wait. Anyways, the next entry says
although it has a massive body, it's powerful hind legs enable
it to move quickly, even on the ground.
Sounds like Mr. Curtis a little bit.
I do have some pretty big legs. Yeah, he is.
He is like, you know, a little bit like slow and lethargic when
he's on. You know, when he's walking on
land, when he when he gets down on all fours.
Unless you tell him to go somewhere and do something, then
he's pretty. Quick, scary and right up the
walls like a spinner rack. Just watch me go round and
round. But yeah, the way it says
enables it to move quickly, even on the ground, kind of makes it
sound. I know they're talking about
like it definitely moves fast in water, but the way it says it's
kind of makes it sound like it flies sometimes.
Oh, OK, Like, it can move quickly, even on the ground.
I mean, it's normally moving quickly in the air, but it can
even move fast on the ground. Maybe it just goes so fast that
it's it looks like all four of its limbs are off the ground,
like it's hovering. I I see what you mean,
Professor. It does.
It does seem to imply that the opposite, you know you would
normally expect the opposite which should be in the air, but
it's really referring to the water.
Very, very insightful professor, but I don't want anybody to get
confused. So I will say this right now as
far as we know for alligators cannot fly as far as we know.
Well, we'll wait and see what Pokedex says first.
You could take that to the bank. Yeah.
Well, don't, because, I mean it has.
I'm too young for an account we've never seen for alligators
flying but that. Doesn't mean they don't.
We haven't not, we haven't, Not seen them not flying.
Wait. Wait a minute.
Hold on. Hold.
On I have seen them not flying, though.
Haven't we haven't seen them not flying?
Wait, yes, we have seen them not flying.
Oh. God, yeah, we have.
Anyways, there could be for alligators out there.
That'll fly. That's all I'm saying.
Moving on to the hohen region, I think.
Heno, I said that very quietly. I'm guessing nobody noticed it
besides you. No, I think other students at
home. I I didn't.
I noticed no problems. Thank you.
You never do so, the only entry in the Hohen region here says,
For Alligator intimidates its foes by opening its huge mouth
in battle. It will kick the ground hard
with its thick and powerful hind legs to charge up the foe at an
incredible speed. Wow, that sounds scary.
This is a scary lesson, professor.
Yeah, well, but OK. But you knew that already for
Alligator is your favorite Pokémon.
It's one of them. It's.
I wouldn't say it's my single favorite, but it's it's
definitely high up on the list. It's rapidly moving farther
down. That list?
Yeah, being dressed up as a Psyduck.
It's a it's kind of becoming my sworn enemy right now.
But yeah, that's it for the Hohen region.
Moving on to the Sinner region. Did you guys hear that?
What? What's?
No professor can I? Was that the?
Was that the vent? What's going on there?
Like a low growl. Yeah, but what?
Like that was the vent turning on, right?
That. Was that what that was?
Maybe. Are you sure that wasn't your
belly, Corbin? I ate a.
Pretty Big Breakfast. I think I'm good, actually.
Yeah. I mean, I've never heard that
vent turn on before, so. We need to get somebody to look
at that. Anyways.
The Sino moving at the Sino region, the first entry and only
entry here says it usually moves slowly.
OK, usually moves slowly. That's pretty good.
That's reassuring. But.
And this is a heavy but it goes at blinding speed when it
attacks and bites prey like spiding ducks.
Yeah, yeah, I mean blinding as in like faster than the speed of
light I. Guess.
OK. So let's just make sure all the
lights stay on for the foreseeable future.
Sure. I mean, yeah, we can try.
But I mean it is, I mean ever since that first Thunder strike,
it has been pouring out there. I know that you can't really
hear it that well in here because of how well insulated
the walls are, how thick they are.
But yeah, there's there's Thunder and lightning out there.
It's there. Yeah, it's there.
And listen, and I don't want to say, I don't want to like be
that guy, but you know the the, the electrical wiring here at
the GCLCBOGSCLC is a little bit shoddy in some places.
Like, it's not as old a building as the SCLC, but like, listen.
What does the wiring have to do with Dawn?
You said the you said the wiring's a little shoddy and Don
is my shoddy. Oh, I don't.
I don't really get that that that reference there.
It's a wrap. The new kids with all their new
slang. Can you explain it to me please
in great. Detail.
Your old mind wouldn't understand what the cool hip.
Young term, yeah, we cave in on itself.
You you would understand the young hip term that is shoddy,
so I'll just leave that for calling Donna.
Alex, it's, you know, it's like it's it's like your birthday.
Right. Go ahead.
OK, I'm. I'm getting further and further
confused. Is it like as in she is she is
kind of flaky and she doesn't you?
Know, Listen, listen. No, it's a it's a shoddy work.
It's like a name that you call your girl.
And it was really popularized in rap songs couple decades ago.
I don't know what's so hard to grasp about that.
She's my girl. She's my shoddy.
I mean this. Listen, this isn't a thesaurus
lesson, OK? The the night mother's my
shoddy. Yeah, we haven't learned about
that Pokémon yet. That.
Yeah. Thesaurus.
Is AT shirt. That's AT shirt.
What is the Night Mother Is my shoddy I completely missed?
That yeah, I was too busy thinking of my great thesaurus
joke wasn't even that good. OK, let's move on.
I have an entry here from a professor mirror in the Lentil
Lentil region. It says for alligator has a
heavy body but when it kicks off the ground with its powerful
hind legs, it's incredibly fast. It surprised us by jumping out
of the water at Mighty Wide River.
Mighty. Where's that?
I do like that Professor Mirror does include specific locations.
Yeah, that's fun. That's fun.
That's kind of fun. That's kind of fun.
It's kind of groovy.
I do hold on, I have to get it here.
I do have an entry from Professor oh Neroli, but I keep
those for the unique entry. So let's read the first unique
Pokedex entry here comes to us from Ash Ash's Pokedex.
It says for Alligator, the big Jaw Pokémon, the final evolution
of Totodile. Once a for Alligator has clamped
its powerful jaws around an opponent, it won't let go until
the opponent is defeated. Define defeated.
Good question. What do you, what do you think,
defeated as Corbin? Dismembered.
OK. Or it could just be like, you
know, a like a mental battle or a battle of wills.
Battle of Blitz, if you will, and once.
You're alligator. Looks like it plays chess once.
You're like emotionally defeated then so so maybe if it get if
you know. Heaven forbid if Archaeus, you
know, forbid, it gets you in its mouth somehow.
OK, well, OK, I don't know why that for all I don't know why
Matt Mellion was coming after me because I wake up emotionally
defeated. So I don't know what the
challenge is there. Well, it doesn't know that it
doesn't. It doesn't see your your face is
too bright and happy still, Corbin.
So when it gets you in its mouth, all you got to do is say
I am defeated. Oh, OK.
All right. So that'll stop it immediately.
Gotcha. OK, yeah, good to know.
All right, so this next entry comes to us from Professor
Neroli. Hey, Rigatoni, yes Professor.
Stromboli it says Neroli is of course the professor of sleep,
so he studies sleep in in Pokémon.
They say for alligator two is known to sleep by resting one
brain hemisphere at a time. Be warned, it always keeps a
vigilant eye on its surroundings and will rush at enemies as soon
as it senses their presence. Hey, OK.
That's. Huh.
Very ferocious. Corbin, if you're going to
breathe over my shoulder like that, you need to, you know,
take a Tic Tac or something. You just smell like.
I didn't breathe over your shoulder.
I've been over here the whole time.
What are you talking? About it just smells like
rotten. Fish I thought that was your
stomach, and I thought that was you.
That noise that was you and side duck feathers.
Yeah, it's just the the smell of your breath is really
disgusting. That wasn't OK, Mr. Curtis Just.
I think that was, I think you passed some gas or something or
that was your stomach. Or no, I'm not passing any gas
I. Don't.
I don't did one coming from me. I don't know what that was.
But continue, please. Oh man, I'm.
I'm feeling it now, too. What do you mean it's weird?
Do you not hear? Do you get a whiff of that?
Yeah, no, I I heard it real like heavy, like, you know,
breathing. Maybe it wasn't Corbin.
No, I that's that's Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis is ripping it up in
the seat next to me. It's disgusting.
What is that? It's not me.
He's sawing logs over there. Yeah.
What are you doing, yo? You stepping on side OX?
Yeah, what are you doing? You cut and cutting the moo moo
milk. Did you step on a froakie?
What happened? No.
I'm up here. I'm up here.
I'm I've not touched anything today.
My my breath is is squeaky clean.
He hasn't touched anything. He is hovering us just slightly
above the world. OK.
So that does it for all of the Pokedex entries on for
Alligator. So I do.
So it's time we do, you know it is testing portion, we do the
testing portion, all right. We do the thing everybody's
favorite part. But it's the poem today, right?
Distracted by all the creaking floorboards.
Time. To yeah.
What I don't take a quick no, that wasn't the floorboard.
That was that was above again, that was the ceiling.
Is it like is is it the rain outside?
Is that. Is it creaking?
Oh, that's probably it. It's probably the rain causing
the the ceiling to creak, because rain does that.
All right, so go ahead and pull out your Rotom laptops, Put put
away your Pokedexes, because I know you know where this is
going. No, it's a poem.
That's where it's going. Make a quiz.
It is time for a pop quiz. That's right.
Everybody's favorite pop quiz. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's time. I won't have it.
That's the scariest thing that can happen after Halloween.
OK, question. Wait, are we all ready?
I I I guess. OK, question #1.
Why does for alligator resort to moving on all fours when out of
the water? All right, looks like I have the
answers from everybody. Let's go ahead and read Corbin's
first. Corbin says that the reason that
for alligator resorts to moving on all fours and out of water is
that its body is too heavy. Its body is too heavy.
Let's see, let's see what Mr. Curtis says.
He says a Ferrelligator has a hard time supporting that big
buff body out of the water. Yes, true, it's hard to support
the weight of its massive body. That is exactly correct.
Very good job to the both of you.
All right, question #2. What does Ferrelligator do to,
to quote, UN quote, savagely, tear up its victim.
All right. Corbin, Are you ready?
Yep. You have your answer in Mr.
Curtis. You Are you ready?
You have your answer. Yes, yes.
Yes, I don't know why I'm asking.
I can see them here, they they get sent to me all right, Corbin
says. For alligator thrashes its head
back and forth while its prey is in its jaws, correct?
All right, we'll see if Mr. Curtis agrees.
It clamps down real hard with those big jaws and shakes its
head back and forth. Can I just say these are pretty
close answers from the both of you.
Some would say he copied me. Well, I don't know.
I'm sitting in front of. You again, He is sitting in
front of you. That's everybody knows.
That's been established. I see him peek around this
shoulder sometimes. Very turns a full 180 and like
just. I keep all six of my eyes facing
the front at all times. You don't have six eyes.
Don't. Have.
I mean four eyes. Or have eight eyes?
No. Or just because when you when
you put your glasses on your four eyes.
Yeah, Nerd, nerd, nerd geek. Nerd.
Nerd.
OK, question #3, Why is it not safe to sneak around a
slumbering for alligator? All right, I have received both
answers. I'm going to start with Corbin's
this time if you guys are OK. That's fair.
That's fair.
So Corbin says. Because if it's startled, you
die. That's right.
Interesting. Interesting.
We'll see if Curtis agrees. He says they're they're watching
you. It only sleeps one side of the
brain at once and has one eye looking around at all times.
Oh, I forgot. Dang it.
Listen, you guys, listen. I knew you guys kind of stopped
listening to Professor Neroli's entry, so I did one of those in.
I care deeply about Stromboli's. And his entries.
That is a missed answer from you, Corbin.
I'm blaming Professor Fettuccine.
Professor Stromboli purse you of course get the points.
Excellent job. As always, thank.
You thank you. All right.
This next one's A2 parter. When and how does for alligator
move very quickly on land? Corbin has sent me his answer
and let me just check real quick.
And yes, I have an answer from Mr. Curtis as well.
Thank you, Mr. Curtis, thank you.
Thank. You I'm going to answer them the
order that they came in. So, Corbin, you go first.
Yay. Corbin says it moves quickly
when it's ready on all fours and ready to attack its prey.
OK. Hmm.
Maybe we'll see. We'll see.
How I feel about that answer. I'm a little bit.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but what else is
new? Mr. Curtis says it's SNAP.
DAP attacks super fast. Yes?
Uh huh. Please please it how did I write
that there? You want me to yell it?
OK. Hold on, May I, Professor.
I guess. OK, it it.
Whoa, whoa. You're right.
Yeah. Yeah.
That was so much better. That was so much super fast.
I did it. That's right when when it
attacks its prey, but only after it takes the proper position on
all fours. So you guys have both pretty
much have the exact same answer here.
Now it does go on all fours when it's not.
In the water, when it's on land, it does tend to be on all fours,
but that's not necessarily the reason it moves fast.
A lot of the Pokedex entries say that it moves fast because of
its powerful hind legs. It runs using its thick and
powerful hind legs. It charges though with
incredible speed. Yeah, and although it has a
massive but. It goes at blinding speed when
it attacks. It bites its prey, though.
Yes. So that was, yeah, when
attacking prey. That's that's when, when but how
is his powerful Hind? Legs by getting down or getting.
Off No, no, no no. By getting down on 4.
It's no, it's powerful. Assuming the position on all
fours, Professor, it goes fast by getting on all fours.
Wow. I cannot believe that Mister
Kurt. This is where he's This is the
hell he's going to die on. I'm sorry, Professor, please,
you're you. You must make the fair and
equitable decision. Yep.
Let's hear it. Let's hear it real quick.
Porsche, Thank you very much. There it is.
There it. Is so, yeah.
The fair and equitable equitable decision, unfortunately, is you
each get half points on this one.
Fine, I'll allow it. Wow, his body is reacting to
this very bad way. Yes, professor, fair and
equitable. Play it again, Porsche.
Hit it one more time, play it again.
There we go. We love it.
All right. Very, very good.
I mean, you guys could have done better, but, you know, it's it's
fine. It's it's nice to know that I
still got it when it comes to making quizzes.
Sure you do. All right, that's gonna do it
for the lesson on a for alligator, you guys.
You guys feeling good? Feeling a little bit spooky, I'm
feeling all. Right, I'm feeling.
What is that noise, Professor? That's definitely not the vent,
is it? It sounds well.
It definitely sounds like rattling coming from the vents.
Is that the storm outside that's shaping the vent?
It did get really windy all of a sudden.
Maybe it's. I don't know.
Anyways, sorry, continue please. Yeah, yeah.
So if anybody, if any of my students have any question for
me, oh wait, hold on, what Pokémon are we learning about
next week? We are moving on from the joto
starters. That's right, we are.
We are into UN unexplored territory here.
Is it time? That's.
Not true. It's the It's the end of Joto
with Celebi. Yeah, Joto has.
There has 10 Pokémon only. Whoa.
Is somebody not having a good time?
No. I'm kidding.
I'm sure you are. It's not Celebi.
In fact, Professor, can we just start over?
Can we Can we do bubble sore next week?
Yeah, we'll do bubble sore next week because I know from the
beginning. Sure, why not.
Yeah. All right.
Yeah, Corbin's grades could really would be really good for.
Those, yeah, do refresh hit. The restart button.
You will have to pay the fees again though.
Corbin. No, that's OK.
Yeah, that's OK. All right.
One more guess from each of you. Hello.
Of course it has to be decision. Wise.
Very funny. No.
We are learning about Centrit next week.
So who Centrit, Centrit. Centrit.
I remember that one. Never heard of it.
OK, well then it's a good thing you're coming to next week's
lesson. Got a long tail?
Uh huh. Yeah.
Yes, good. All right.
It's it's good that you're 6 times previously in this class
haven't gone to waste, Mr. Curtis.
I can see it now. Anyways, that doesn't report
today's lesson. If any of my students have
questions for me, feel free to send me a Gengar mail, or you
can contact us on the flying Pokémon theme social network
site, Twitter, or you can contact us on Discord.
You can even contact us on Patreon.
Or if you really, really want, you can give us a rating on
Flapple Podcasts and talk. Talk to us there.
That's my favorite method of communicating with us.
He's kidding. With our virtual.
Students don't do that, cuz I can't respond at that point.
If you're wondering where the links to any of those are, you
can find it in the Link Tree link, which is in our
description. If you want a little bit of
extra content from us, feel free to become a subscriber on the
Patreon, yeah? Mr. Curtis, what?
What's your favorite part about the Patreon?
Well, of course it has to be my drawings that I do every day in
class. So narcissistic.
Humble is the word that I would use to describe Mr. Curtis.
I I mean, look at this right here.
Do you see these? Gosh.
And if if if any of you that are listening from home want to be
able to see it. You have to subscribe and
Patreon. Only $1.00 though.

That's right. Yeah, Cora, what's your favorite
part of the of the patriotic? Probably the I'll take some
bloopers. That's that's a lot of fun.
They are pretty good and the Q&A's are also, well, they're
OK. Are they are they your favorite
professor? No, I'm I'm not.
I'm not going to. I'm not going to divulge that
information. That'll be a little.
You got to understand the Q&A's are a little bit different than
you guys just asking us questions via Gmail.
It's a little bit different. It's like behind the scenes like
how does this? Class get made.
What do we do outside of this class?
Where do we eat? Do we put our pants on one leg
at a time or do we just jump in those suckers, right?
If you want to know the answers to behind the scenes
information. Mind get woven around me by my
spinner act. That's disgusting.
Don't answer that. You get that's.
Patriots. Oh, everybody forgot.
Forgot you, you said you've devalued it now.
All right. But that's going to do it for
today's lesson. I got it.
OK. Oh my God.
Wow. It was.
You were in its mouth, Corbin. My whole life just blasts before
my eyes. All 10.
Years. All the time I was going to have
to spend paperwork. Doing paperwork about Corbin's
untimely demise in this class, I did see my future with Dawn.
My shoddy. That you're Dawn with Dawn, yes.
The dawning of your time. Anyways, for any students at
home that the the the for alligator jumped out of the
vents and just went to town on on Corbin.
That's what that noise was. Oh my God.
OK. We're all good now.
I got, I got it back into the Pokeball.
It did, you know, give Corbin just a little bit of a shake in
its mouth. But.
That's a little bit of. A.
And we got to see its speed displayed very very very very
well. So it's just it's a little bit
of. Blood Great lesson, Great
lesson. Can we all agree?
Great lesson. Yes, yes, always.
Professor, is there there's a nurse at this school.
Right. That's a lot of that's the
that's blood. I.
Don't know if that's in the budget, but anyways, until next
time, class is dismissed.
