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.
Mr. Curtis, how are you? I know it's it is sweltering in
here. It is.
It is a it is a scorcher outside fan of.
Myself. Howdy, Professor.
The air conditioning is still not working in this room.
I'm sweating. It is miserable to be in here.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess.
I guess you're right, yeah. That's why we're doing bi weekly
lessons now, right? Yes, according to the listen, I
would still have us here every every week, you know.
I've heard you say you want us here three times a week,
professor. I'm sure, yeah.
Really. How about How about every day?
I like every day. Guys, leave a comment on Spotify
gone if you guys want to have a new lesson every single day.
Yeah, three times a day even. I think it's definitely.
Doable, and I don't think Porsche would check out.
Wow, what a what a respectful way of saying that, Corbin.
No, we, we could never realistically listen.
I would love to go to once a day, but we could never
realistically do that. Mister Curtis, you seem sad.
Why is that? Explain you know?
What's going on, bud? Professor, I'm sorry I let you
down, OK? What else is new?
I boom. One to the gut.
Got him. I just, I just, I thought I
would be the first person to bring a a bug type evolution to
fruition. Nope, you would not believe the
amount of exposure to bug energy I have applied to the one of the
EVs back at the at the nursery. So what, you're torturing EVs
now? I'm sorry I'm losing track of
all the Pokémon that you're hurting.
Torturing therapeutic bath in, you know, spinner rack entrails,
Yeah, vice versa, I mean. When people ask me to describe
Mr. Curtis, I say he has a lot of bug energy to him.
He brings a lot of bug energy. He's giving bug.
He's giving. Bug.
He's really serving bug. Serving Bug Despite all of
Evie's sloppy jeans, I could not get it to evolve into a bug
type. So I've let you down, Professor.
I'm so. Sorry, giving up.
So you're a failure. No, no.
Of course, you're just giving up.
Of course not. Of course not.
OK, Well then, well then, hey, good news Mr. Curtis, you have
not let me down. Oh, he's let me down.
As long as you're still trying to make a horrible, horrible
mutation come to life, then you haven't let me down.
I will, professor. Thank you.
I'll.
I'll try again. I'll keep going.
Why have you done this? You're setting him on a
dangerous path. Why specifically right now?
And where did you get an EV? Well, they they had they had one
at the nursery. You.
Know OK. Yeah, with the rig.
Because I was like, I was like trying to like because last week
I did hand out to EVs and then the one that we tried to give to
you ran away. Last.
Week I took. It yeah, but see the the ones
that keep at the nursery, the Rigsby's remember that's.
Not that's not the that's not the.
You live with them. You don't even know their name.
It's Rigby's. Come on.
It's Rigsby's. Yeah.
That's what they are. Rigsby's.
No, not Rigsby's rigs. Rig.
Rig rig. Rigby's not a Harold Rigby, no.
Rigby's, I mean, I live with them, so we're like, come on
now. But we went and visited them
earlier what, a couple weeks ago maybe when we during the iggly
tough lesson. We had our last lesson.
The ugly tough lesson was like half a century ago, but.
Okay, well, it's an iggly buff, but whatever.
But see the. Movies all gonna say names
wrong. Is that what this is?
No, Professor Yakov. No, professor, I'm so sorry, but
what I was trying to say is the the EVs they keep at the at the
farm, so to speak, do not. They don't get a choice.
They can't run away, so they're locked up with me, which is
really safe, which is a, which is really a pleasant experience
to. Be How about T-shirt idea locked
up with me and it's just the shadow of Mr. Curtis's
silhouette just kind of there. On a you're locked in here with
me. That's gonna, that's our, that's
our Halloween trip for everybody.
It's just gonna say locked in here with me and it's just Mr.
Curtis's silhouette. As long as it's got me and my
trench coat, that's all that matters.
That's all that's matters. Yep.
OK, so all right, so update on Mr. Curtis's life.
He's still working on transforming and into a bug
evolution. Hey, do you have any fun name
ideas? Have we done this before?
Have we asked what your name ideas for a bug evolution of EV
would be? It does have to end in Eon, just
so you know. It does have to end in Eon.
Yes, like, you know, like like Jolteon or Flareon or Espion if
I were to use one. To just choose a random one?
What about? What about spinneon?
What? Was it?
Spinnyon, spinnyon, Spin spinnyon, spin, spinnyon.
Like the first syllable of spinorax spinnyon.
Spinnyon. OK, they're gonna say Buggyon or
Insecteon. Or or rakeon that would be.
Pretty. Oh, that, that one's good,
Rakeon sounds like. A fictional planet.
Yeah, I don't know what an Iraq is, but my.
Dude. Well, it's it's the second
syllable of spinner rack. Oh, OK, I see.
I see. Iraq So spinnyon or rakeon cuz
it's spinner rack and then neon. Have I been introduced yet?
We no. What if we used the first
syllable of geltic and called it geltion?
Wait. I like that one.
Wait. Hold.
On. I like that one.
No, we've messed up. OK, all right.
He's getting rowdy, so I guess I'll introduce him.
Also in the classroom today is our young trainer and training,
Corbin. Corbin, how have you been?
I'm doing so well and so is my companion here who you not
introduced. Everybody, This is my espion,
This is Molly. Molly, say hi, Molly.
Hi, Molly. I've been raising her over the
last two weeks and you know what?
I just gave her all my love. I'm going to be real with you.
She evolved like an hour after we got out of class.
Like I so much, so much love. So much love.
Look how she's, I don't know, she's still getting used to her
new long legs. Yeah, I don't know.
There were some flashes coming through the the classroom window
when I came in. What do you know so?
Yeah, I think. I think she actually evolved one
hour before class. No, I don't.
No, no, it was an hour after. Class.
Of desperation 2 weeks ago no no I have not no no she's we're.
Last minute bribing with some, maybe some treats you know, to
get, Yeah. No, I don't think.
So, so to win. Over felt a monologue about how
much he loves her. Yeah.
Ollie, stop staring at me like that.
Sorry, she's trying to read my mind again.
Okay, well, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
All right, everybody stop before.
Yes, we were learning about ESPN today.
Before we get into it, before we really start the lesson, I have
a couple of Genger males to read.
That's OK with everybody. Sure, sure.
That's fine. All right, so this first Gengar
male comes to us from speaks. We've gotten a Gengar male from
speaks before They say hello, Mr. Professor Chest Chestnut.
Please call me Professor Jacob. Oh, that's.
Formal. Very formal.
Mr. Curtis. Huh.
Go ahead, Go ahead. I'm sorry.
OK. Hello Mr. Professor Chestnut,
Mr. Curtis and Niebrock. What?
I think they just spelled Corbin backwards.
Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I knew that.
Trust me, I've written my name in the mirror.
I know what Niebrock means, but your name just caught me off
guard for a second. They say it's your oh, and they
all say did I spell that correctly?
And I guess technically you did spell it correctly, just
reversed. It's your spinner rack
enthusiast speaks here and I did some extra work in the last
days. The P man Jacob said in the
Crobat lesson. I think that Brobkins.
Brobkins, who's that? You.
I think it's you again, Corbin. Gosh.
Brobkins roommate is a cadabra dressed up as a Mr. Rhyme and
that some student would hopefully draw that.
Well, I did, and the drawing is sent with my ginger mail.
I have something else to say too, and it's very important.
I never saw a Pokémon in my whole entire life because there
are no Pokémon in our whole earth.
What? And I have a theory.
Why? OK.
I think we're getting into some. Oh, this is like some Flat Earth
stuff. Huh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely a conspiracy theory
here. I just want to, you know,
confirm to everybody that Pokémon do exist.
But we we will hear. Speaks out.
Of course, some students live in another universe where Indian
elephants, dogs, cats and more live what we have.
What's a What's a dog countries? What's a What's a dog professor?
What's a dog cat? Well, it's a dog's comma cat, so
they're two different things and I don't.
Those are two different. Those are.
Two different I don't know what a cat is.
I don't know what a dog is. I only know that an Indian
elephant is something that writes you can kill with one
shock, right, right. That's that's all I know about
Indian elephants. We have India and other
countries and most professors are from our dimension because
they mention Indian elephants, cats and other animals as we
call them or animals as we call them.
I think your editor, the porion who publishes the lesson, puts
them in some sort of portal by putting it into Spotify Gone,
which is Spotify where we live. That's all.
Bye. Bye.
OK, Yeah. And we have 5 moons and 97
fingers. Yeah, this guy the government's
got, you know, lizard Pokémon people.
And the banks are run by, you know, by scraggies.
Right. Exactly.
Yes, yes. There's a dust skull under the
floorboards. Oh no.
OK, there might actually be a dust skull under the.
Floor, Yeah, the place is haunted, Gordon told me.
Anyways, sorry, but yeah, going back to this, this is just, this
is absolutely just insane. Well, I think we can say that
speaks has a very. Active imagination.
Yeah, colorful imagination. A world without Pokémon.
I honestly think I'd rather die. I'll be real.
Well, that's pretty dark, Corbin.
I mean, you know, it just sounds like a great place for us to
introduce the the beauty of spinner, act and bug types too,
you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and also like speaks
you're, you're a spinner act enthusiast, so there must at
least be spinner acts where you exist.
Yeah. Exactly.
How could you? How could you?
You hold your theory broken. I mean, I'm just, I'm just
saying, yeah, I guess I'm not trying to poke holes here.
It sounds like you are. It sounds like it's a it's a
Swiss cheese kind of argument. Not like it's not like their
world doesn't have Pokémon, Corbin Sure they don't.
They don't call them Pokémon. They just call them animals.
And I'm sure these cats and dogs evolve into like, you know,
bigger cats and more human like. Dogs and and Indian elephants
evolve into, you know. Squirtle or something?
And I'm sure Indian elephants are, you know, like ground and
normal type or something like that.
I would. Guess that, yeah.
What do you think a cat is? You think that's like electric
or something? It's probably dark.
Sounds like electricity. Cat, cat, cat.
Okay, Cat. Sounds like electricity bounce.
At the no, actually I think it sounds more like a fighting
because that sounds like something you would say.
Fighting type cat. I agree.
You're right. What about a dog?
Dog is ground type because it sounds like Dog.
Or dirt Dog. Yeah.
Dirt. Yeah.
Dog. Yeah.
I was thinking grass, but guys, we're getting.
Too, We're getting too thick into the conspiracy theories
like This isn't a conspiracy theory lesson series.
But it's fun to talk about though, right?
Right, it is. It is.
Yeah, of course. So along with.
Anything fun to talk about with you, professor?
OK, great. Along with the Gengar male,
Speaks also sent a drawing of what they think that Corbin's
roommate Gordon looks like. So here's here you go, Corbin.
Here you go. Oh my goodness.
Wow. How close?
How close is is speech? So close.
Now it does look a little bit like it's holding a revolver in,
it's in Gordon's tail there. But I, I think it's, it's cane.
I think that's the the. That is, it is actually I think
the cane or it's a it's an infected sausage link, I can't
really tell. Mr. Curtis Thoughts.
I think that I don't. Yeah, I think I honestly have to
agree with the professor on this one.
I'm thinking a a revolver or maybe like a like a root a root
or something. I think it's the cane.
I just think it kind of looks a little bit like a revolver.
It like, I think it's a branch or root that it dug up that it's
planting like to be like the cane because it's dressed up
like a Mr. Rhyme. So it's got a It had to make its
own cane. Right, right.
Thank you. Speaks for this wonderful
artwork. We will of course, be putting it
on our social media if Porygon remembers or sorry, Porygon,
wow, she's just like, I don't know her what Porsche, If
Porsche remembers, she's some, she's hit or miss with that.
Wow, just throwing Porsche under the bus today.
Hey, Porsche's overworked. Cut her some slack.
That is true, Porsche is overworked, but yeah, you will
be getting extra credit for this work, speaks Mr. Curtis.
Do you think feeling a Gold Star is an order here?
Well, anyone who loves and appreciates the majesty of
Spinner X, such as I do, deserves a Gold Star.
So of course, yes, Speaks gets a kiss.
A Gold Star. You got to just kiss some butt
and talk about Spinner. X Yeah.
I mean, honestly, yeah, that is sometimes all you got to do.
Lame. All right, I have one more
Gengar mail here that I would very much like to read.
This one comes to us from Kaden. We have received Gengar mails
from Kaden before They say hello, this is Kaden.
I have a poem about pseudo Wudo. But first, it's been 365 days
since I enrolled in this class. Can you believe it?
Oh. My gosh, congratulations.
Thank you for being on board. Thank you.
Yes, thank you, Thank you for your class dues that you've been
paying. It really helps.
Tilt. Tilt the scales here, they say.
Can you believe it? I know I can't.
Another thing, Mr. Curtis, what do you think of Scolopede?
He's so cool and great. I think I want one, but they
aren't where I live. Oh well.
Yeah, I mean, I, I do, I do like scolopede.
I think we talked about scolopede in a in a more recent
lesson, didn't we? Or maybe it was venipede.
Actually I. Think we mentioned Venipede?
But but yeah the the whole venipede world of Pede scolopede
line. Very good classic bug and poison
combo. Just like spin or rat.
Love that a lot. It's it's good.
I think that it doesn't need to be so fast.
Like it's, it's like it's a little.
It's too fast, slow down. Like it's a little trying to
impress, yeah. Chill out, take a minute.
Relax. I guess that's whole.
I guess that's Skull. Pete's whole thing is like, it's
gotta move fast, right? Yeah.
I gotta go fast. Gotta eat chili dogs.
Gotta go fast, so can. We have some.
OK, so maybe. Some more legs.
More. Legs would.
Be more legs would be good. Actually, let's take a few off.
Well, they got they got four big.
Ones I think it's just right, ain't.
That sweet. Oh yeah.
I mean, it's arms and legs above a lot of other Pokémon that
aren't bug types, don't get me wrong, but amongst the bug types
I don't know it it could do a little bit more so OK.
All right, I'm sure it's too. Fast and it's not doing enough.
More legs. Oh.
Sorry. Oh, and it needs more legs.
OK, I see. Go less fast but get more legs.
I mean, how many legs does spinner rack have?
Too many cut all the legs off. Six.
That's not. Yeah, the legs.
Well, I mean, but it's two more than two more than scoloped, so.
All right, whatever. So Kaden has also included a
poem here. Corbin, I think I will go ahead
and pass this to you. OK, thank you very much.
Just because you're you're an expert, I will say the theme of
this poem is pseudo wudo. So just just just, you know,
embody that as you're reading. Shall I sing it?
Shall I energy? Shall I?
Sing. No, don't.
Oh my God, don't sing it. Just just just read it.
Just read it, OK? All right, Pseudo Wudo, you are
a friend. A friend indeed.
Until the end. Although your looks may be
misleading, you are never, ever demeaning.
Rock, not grass. It may seem you are not what
people see. Pseudo Wudo, do not lie.
Because you are rock. Will you never die?
I hope so, because you are silly.
Pseudo Wudo. I think I'll name you Billy.
Wow. Wonderful.
Honestly beautiful. I say that's a It was a solid
one. I liked it.
It was journey. Could have more legs though.
Less legs and a Gold Star. Thank you very much.
That was very good. Well, no, wait, wait, you can't
give out gold stars? Well, if you can give gold stars
out for people kissing butt about bugs and if somebody
writes me a poem, I think I should be able to give them.
Something I mean, you can give out Corbin stars maybe?
Yeah, but like who? Really.
Who? Really?
Wants a Corbin star. Do you guys want that?
Yeah. OK.
It's like, oh, wow, who said? Was there another student in
here who said yeah? I was sorry I had my laptop
open. I was all my friends online that
were saying. That yeah, all your friends,
they're from the, from the, you know.
Yeah, you don't know them. So you wouldn't know.
You wouldn't know. Yeah, you don't get it.
So, yeah, yeah. So they get a Corbin star is
what you're. Saying, yeah, I'm saying they
get a Corbin star. I, I'm, I'm officially
announcing it here. We got Corbin stars.
They're going to be a nice little teal color, a little bit
of purple. Yeah, but they are just made out
of like, you know, out of cereal boxes like little.
Bit. OK All right, hush.
All right, There's a little bit of magic mark on there, too.
Shut up. All right, so I I'm gonna I'm
gonna get started on those, but Kaden, you'll be the first one
to get a Corbin star. Thank you.
All right, Kaden ends there in Gengar Male with and that's it.
It's nowhere near as good as Corbin's poems, but I tried my
best. Thanks.
No, you did wonderful. I think, I think it was
wonderful. Kaden, Corbin star, great job.
So you get a Corbin star. You will, of course, be getting
extra credit for this poem, this work that you've done.
Mr. Curtis, what do you think? Gold Gold Star as well as a
Corbin star. I don't know, I think they may
be mutually exclusive. If you get a Corbin star, you
cannot get a Gold Star. You can't get a Gold Star.
Wow. I mean, you think you know, do
you want to try to give Kaden a gold?
I think you should. Try.
I think you should be nice and you just try, you know?
Well, see. See, just to see if you can do
it. See if you can place a Gold Star
on this on this Gangar mail. Yeah, see if you just whip out
of your bag is the. Place of gold here.
OK, let here. I'll put it out.
Let me just set it out. Oh God, it's vibrating.
It's vibrating so fast. Oh my God, whoa.
It shot out of his hand and and slodged into the back of the
room. Yeah, no, no, yeah, it it did
not want to go anywhere to here. I tell you what though, I do
have, I do have a Silver Star. OK, yeah, sure.
Let's see. Let's see if that one works.
Let me see Yeah. Oh yeah, no, see that that fits
right on there. Yep, Yep.
So no problem with that with the golden star literally flew
across the room. But the Silver Star superstar is
fine. So there, Kaden, you get a
Silver Star. And a Corbin star and like,
that's better than a Gold Star combined.
Yeah, well. Come on, I don't know about
that. I don't know about that one.
I don't know that actually. I think it kind of detracts away
from the value of the superstar if I.
Have the Corbin star. The Corbin star really lowers
the value overall. All right, low listed it's about
it's about what it what value it brings not like currency wise,
but emotional value, right it's it's it means that I think
you're special and I. Think.
Well, we'll leave. More valuable than gold?
Or we'll leave that up for Kaden to decide and they can send us
again, Garmin letting us know whether they appreciate or do
not like the Corbin star. But regardless, thank you so
much, Kaden, for this Gangar mail.
If anybody, if any other students would like to send us a
Gangar mail, you can send it to wwopokemon@gmail.com.
I'll probably say it again at the end of the lesson, but sure
will. But anyways, for for now, I
think we're going to end the Gengar males there and now,
Corbin, now I can see you eagerly rocking back and forth
in your seat. Yes.
Would you, would you like to tell us about the assignment
that I gave you over the last two weeks?
OK, so my task was to evolve this wonderful Evie that the
professor was gracious enough to give us into a beautiful, loving
aspion. With the understanding that you
would be giving it back. I mean, that was there was an
asterisk on that contract I think that we talked about,
right? That was that was kind of like a
maybe if I like, if I'm bad, I have to give it back.
But if I'm good, I don't rap, or I don't say boat hulls anymore,
then maybe we can. Unfortunately, you did say it
right there. OK, well, that doesn't count.
That doesn't count because you said I as long as I don't do it
until next class, I'm good. Now it's next class and now I
can say it. So yeah.
So I don't know. I, I think, listen, this is
Molly, everybody. Hi, Molly.
Everyone say hi Molly. Molly.
She is wonderful, she's very kind, very warm to sleep next
to. Molly is an espion, just in case
anybody's. For yeah, is an espion, right,
Sorry, we were talking about that earlier, but I figured
people yeah, Molly the espion she's she's beautiful, very soft
coat. How beautiful is she?
She is the most It's Dawn, but a Pokémon.
That's all I'm saying. You know what?
I. Mean that's high praise from
you. Shit is high praise for me, but
she's beautiful. She has these beautiful purple
and white eyes. I mean, she's got this kind of,
I don't even know what color it is.
It's not pink, it's not purple, not salmon colored.
It's like, I don't, I don't even know what you would call it, but
it's like a, it's. Like a few, like a lavender.
Like a maybe, maybe a little lighter than a lavender, maybe
some more pink in it. But it's a beautiful coat.
And the tail has this 2 little like forked split in it, which
is really cool, very soft. And then these these big kind of
whiskers that look a little bit like oven mitts coming out of
either side of her cheeks. Maybe they're like like poofy
like sideburns or something. Little sideburns.
Yeah. And these big old ears.
And it's got kind of like a, you know, a teal or a bluish colour
inside. And then the the crown gem on
this beauty is what looks like a gem in the middle of its head.
Gorgeous. Yeah, it kind of, it kind of
reminds me a little bit of a hold on, I'm drawing a blank.
What are the Pokémon we talk about?
How to gem in the middle of its head?
Ampro. Rocket Ampro.
Yeah. Rocket Gold Duck too.
Yeah, yeah. Gold Duck and Amprose pour one
out for Rocket flying around outside.
That's fine. Sure don't don't pour one out.
He's still he's. Doing very well.
Hey, he's a he's Rocket is having the time of his life.
OK, you can still like follow his light when you like to, to
guide you home, Corbin. I do it every night.
OK, I mean, I, I do, I do. I'm just making sure.
I'm just making sure it's not another trick, OK?
Just making sure he's actually OK anyways.
Whoa, what do you mean another trick?
You guys trick me all the time, OK?
Anyways, Molly here has a beautiful red gem in the middle
of her her face and I'm pretty sure that is where she gets her
powers from because she stares at me very intently at night and
I see her in my dreams sometimes because I think she's reading my
mind. Interesting.
And dream manipulation. I'm not sure that's a thing that
ESPN can do. Well, I'm seeing her in my
dreams. I.
Don't. That's her.
But I know she reads my mind. ESPN does well, some believe
that ESPN has the ability to read mine.
So we want to like see if that, if it, if it, if Molly can can
do that. How was how are we going to do
that, professor? I mean, like, how, how, how are
we going to relate to the students?
Like, you know, because Molly obviously can't talk.
I wasn't able. To teach that maybe maybe you
think about think about a like a number, OK.
And and then Molly can like, you know, come hold up that many
pause. I don't know a number between
1:00 and 2:00. I jeez, I want she's got a 5050
chance. Doesn't mean she's a mind
reader. OK, here let me think about.
OK, what am I thinking about? Okay, she's jumping trampoline.
She got it. See.
She's a genius. Wow.
Molly is a genius about that means trampoline, by the way,
that jump right there, that means trampoline.
So she got it instantly. I was thinking about jumping the
trampoline. She got it.
Now what else am I thinking about?
So roll your eyes. And now, now she's rolling her
eyes. OK, must.
Have been OK. Must have been.
Done. No, Molly.
Wasn't. About Dawn.
Stop nodding. It was not about Dawn.
Yeah, Molly. Yeah, Molly.
Still no. Stop it.
Wow. OK.
All right. See, is that is That's not
enough evidence. I don't know what is, but hey,
let's try it on you guys again. She's very good at this.
OK, all right, all right. Let's see.
Let's see if let's see if Molly can can read my mind.
OK, right. OK.
Or she's rolling on the ground. OK.
Why? What's?
What's going? On well, I was thinking of I was
thinking of bread rolls. Oh, OK.
All right. Yeah.
OK, that's why, that's why, that's why they they flick their
tail over towards Corbin's belly, 'cause he's got like a
big, big bed bread bowl. What?
No, you, you're bigger than. Me, I was thinking of bread
roll, not bread bowl. Yeah, bread rolls.
Yeah, jerk cheese. Apologize, all right, But OK,
one more time, one more time. Hold on.
What am I thinking of? What am I thinking of?
OK, is it? I don't understand why Molly's
laughing at me. Yeah, she's Molly.
Thinks you're Molly. Can you tell me why not?
Is it because it's about me? Oh, come on, Professor.
It might have been about you. It might have been about you.
All right, I hesitate to ask this, but should we also try Mr.
Curtis? Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes.
Hold on, hold on. Let me get.
Let me get over here. OK.
All right, Molly, look here. Molly, just in.
Just brace yourself. You don't know what you're going
to do. OK, All right.
You got it. You got it.
OK, All right, fine. Fine.
All right. Molly, Molly.
Whoa, what? It jumped like 5 feet in the air
and then she went right back into.
Her Pokeball. Oh my gosh.
OK, well, that's fine. I'll, I'll take her to help me.
I'll take her back at home. I'll take the Pokeball and
we'll, we'll go home later and we'll figure it out.
I'll, I'll talk to. Her about it, that's how.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, OK, well, hold on.
Actually though, Corbin, you do have to hand the Pokeball over
back to me. Yeah, that's are.
You sure? Of course, Yes, I.
Can I can discuss this with Molly more later?
Don't Yeah, here, Yeah, go ahead and give the Pokeball to no.
No, I don't think he handles the Pokeball for me.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. OK, there we go.
Put your jacket. Ohh.
Thank. Thank you, Molly.
Molly, you're going to be right. Safe right in here.
Yeah, we'll have a pole in the in the on spot of flag on.
So look below. Let us know if you think Molly's
going to be fine or not. It's OK, Molly.
I don't like that ball. All right, OK, so that was a lot
of fun. You know, I think we learned
already a lot about what Espion's can do through Molly,
but I think now we should read some Pokedex entry.
So what do you guys think? I'm I'm down.
I want to. Be pretty great, President.
That way I want to have her back.
I can figure out what to do. Yeah, yeah, maybe you'll get the
sync back too. Who knows, Maybe.
OK, starting off in the JoJo region, the 1st century here
says it uses the fine hair that covers its body to sense air
currents and predict its enemy's actions.
Maybe it predicted what you were going to do, Mr. Curtis.
That's why it's fled. That's yeah.
That's now that's. That's interesting because it's
using. It's just detecting currents in
the air though it's not doing that.
Doesn't mean it's doing anything.
You know, particularly psychic Y, you know, no reading minds
there. No, not definitely not yet.
But let let's keep reading. We might see that there are some
actual. It's just like it's.
Just like if I gave Corbin a little hey.
Stop. Stop.
Little sniff. Little sniff.
Wow. He really got in there.
That's really weird. Yeah, I know what you're trying
to do. I I'm watching you.
I know what you're going to do. No, go away.
I can smell it on you. Don't say that, please.
Please stop smelling this student.
Mr. Curtis, we've asked you this so many times.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
You're right. The next entry here says by
reading air currents it can predict things such as the
weather makes sense or it's foes next move makes a little bit
less sense if you ask me. I mean I don't know, maybe I
don't know. I still find it hard to believe
that it could figure out what the foe was going to do next
just by air currents. Yeah, that doesn't sound right.
If you if it's said like by reading it's mine, well
obviously that would make sense, but.
I mean like maybe if like a Pokémon always does something
before it uses a move, like it always like, you know, I don't
know, like winds back in a specific way or something like
that then. Maybe like a certain level of
exhale just a little. Yeah, any kind of like minute
tail is, is something that an espion can pick up on, is very
adept at picking up on. And then the last entry here
from the Joe to region says the tip of its forked tail quivers
when it's predicting its opponent's next move.
So, so I guess from that I think we can deduce that it's it's
hair is most sensitive on its forked tail, right?
Did you mention the fork's tail, Corbin?
I can't. Remember I did.
I did mention the fork. Tail, OK, yeah, it's making sure
Signature sure did. OK, moving on to the Hoenn
region, there's a little bit more descriptive entry here.
It says Espion is extremely loyal to any trainer it
considers to be worthy. Me I.
Don't. Know hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
Watch it. It is said that this Pokémon
developed its precognitive powers to protect its trainer
from harm. Right.
OK, so that makes sense now. It wanted to protect me by it
was. Just why it ran away?
By running away as a distraction so that I could escape, yeah.
Sure. I don't think running away is
really a good distraction. I mean.
Well, Mr. Cruz is looking at her, so, you know, I could have
escaped if I wanted to, if I knew that's what she was
planning. And now she's in the pokey all
being like, why didn't he escape?
Probably, yeah, he. Just he just sat there.
He didn't leave. I'll get you out soon, baby.
Don't don't worry Corbin, Molly would be safe with me.
I doubt it. Do we think that these
precognitive powers that this entry is describing is like the
the fine hair that it uses to predict enemy enemy movements,
or it's like an actual psychic ability that it has?
So maybe are you saying that like ESPN actually doesn't have
any mind reading powers, but it just has like really sensitive
hair on it's head? I guess I'm asking you that if
you guys think that's the case or if you think that there are
some actual psychic precognant like future seeing abilities.
I mean based off of what the pokedex entries have said so
far, it seems like they just have a really good head of hair.
OK. All right, let me move on to
the. Summary Corbin over there.
Hey. Hey, what?
I got more hair than you. Gross.
Roast butt, I'm just saying. Whoa whoa, AGB here in my
classroom. Sorry.
You're dropping AGB. That was an old That was an old
WOP language moment. Yeah, I know.
We don't. We don't.
Porsche might have to bleep that out.
Well, GB, sorry. Porsche, I'll leave it up to
your description if you wanna if you wanna blurp out Corbin's GB
bomb. I know just to just to just
deplorable thing to. Just a deplorable thing just to
deploy thing, right, Mr. This is some horrible thing to to let
loose in the class here. Right, absolutely vile.
All right, this next entry says it's fur has the look and feel
of velvet. The orb on its forehead glows
when it uses Psycho Power. Psycho Power.
So I I guess it's like psychic. Yeah, you know, Molly did get
the zoomies, so I did see some of that Psycho Power late at
night at about two. AM I'm going psycho mode?
She would go psycho mode and run around and read my mind.
I'm like, get out. And she's like, no.
And then she'd run around some more.
Don't you just don't you just love it when you guys go psycho
mode. Oh.
My God. Psycho mode T-shirt espion.
Sell it, print it. Buy it psycho mode and it's just
like I. Don't know it's crazy with
racing stripes and fire behind it running real fast.
Forehead has to be glowing, of course.
Forehead has to be glowing. Yeah, Oh my God.
Oh, I would totally buy that. So, Curtis, what do you think?
What do you think? Still still no actual psychic
powers or. Well, I mean, just having a
glowy, glowy rock on your forehead, does it really mean
you got psycho powers? It's an orb, not a rock.
I guess so. I guess there's a bunch of other
things. That can make.
I'm just, I'm just not, I'm not convinced yet, OK?
But it says when it uses psycho power.
Molly, bottom line is, Molly, you know, didn't, didn't prove
to me that she could read my mind.
OK? She didn't really.
She didn't. Read She read my mind pretty
well. She she did a role.
It's because I was thinking of a bread roll.
She did, she did. You did see that, right?
Did you, Mr. Curtis? Did you see that?
I I saw it OK. I was making sure because it
sounds like. You saw she read my mind, she
rolled my eyes, and she confirmed that I was.
Like rolled your eyes. No, she rolled her eyes at me
when she read my mind when I was talking, like how she confirmed
I was thinking about Dawn. So I mean like, what other proof
do you need man? Well, they, you know, they
rolling around. That's a pretty cutesy act, mood
do rolling your eyes. Yeah, it's a pretty common thing
for people to do. I don't know.
I'm not just I'm not convinced. You know, I, I was pretty
explicit as to what I needed Molly to do in my mind And, and
you know. How would you have liked her to
prove that to? You and was it?
Was it? Run away and hide in your
pokeball. It was not.
Oh, OK, no. It was sure maybe you accident
accidentally were thinking about.
Maybe, I don't know. OK, I'm going to move on to the
Unova region here. Oh, wait, no, it does.
I think it does have another entry.
It's very similar, but I'm just going to read it.
This is still in the center region.
It's fur is so sensitive it can sense minute shifts in the air
and predict the weather. If we move on to the Unova
region, it the first entry says the exact same thing.
It says the fur is so sensitive it can sense minute shifts in
the air to predict predict the weather.
Now there is another entry from the Unova region and once again
is extremely similar. It changes up a few words here
and there, but as something interesting at the end, it's fur
is so sensitive it can feel minute shifts in the air and
predict the weather dot dot dot. Yes, yes.
And it's those thoughts. OK, so so.
That that's more than just being able to figure out what the next
move is going to be. That makes it almost sound like
that the fur is like sentient and has a mind of its own.
OK, yeah, I guess so. And it's really sensitive too,
so. It's fur is sensitive, don't
make it feel. The fur can feel shifts in the
air and the fur can read opponents thoughts.
OK, OK, thoughts. Right, right.
So, so there's two. No, no, no.
So it's fur is so sensitive. It's still referring to the
espion. Right, it's fur so sensitive.
Grammar clash, everybody, TuneIn.
Yes, it's fur so sensitive it the espion can feel minute
shifts in the air and predict the weather and it's foes
thoughts. So, so it's not, it's not that
the fur, it's not the I mean, the fur is feeling minute shifts
in the air, but it's it's the SB on that's feeling the minute
shifts and predicting the weather.
And also it's. Yeah, but it's saying it's fur
is so sensitive. Like I don't know what part of
the sentence that is. So I guess it's not a grammar
lesson, but it's saying because it's fur is so sensitive.
Yeah. It it allows it to feel minute
shifts in the air and predict the weather, the weather and the
weather predict the weather. So it can fuel minute shifts in
the air. It can predict the weather and
it can read and it's foes thoughts.
Yeah, it can read foes thoughts. Right, I think.
I agree with the professor Corbin, not Corbin.
I'm. Sorry, I'm sorry to be
contrarian, Corbin, but I do agree with the professor on this
one. I'm so shocked to learn this.
This is news to me. I.
Know I don't surprise hurt. I don't.
I don't always agree with the professor, but in this case you
do actually. Because you're a big baby and
you don't have a single original thought.
I do. I do actually agree.
But OK, I think after reading this for, you know, the 100th
time, I think my theory here is that when you think you kind of
like your brain waves maybe can affect the air in very small
minute ways and only like identifiable by Espionfer.
Well, it's kind of like how like people can read each other's
energies and it's like it's so in tuned with the energy around
it that it can whatever energy that you are radiating, like if
you're going to attack it, it can.
It can sense that energy and it knows to run to its Pokeball,
which is what it did when it right Mr. Curtis's thoughts.
Yes, it felt. It's felt, Mr. Curtis, brain
waves. And they were scary.
Yes. What?
Is it just like little antennas? No.
What the fur? Yeah.
I mean, I guess in a way they are technically.
Then I will buy a walkie-talkie so I can talk to Molly.
Well, not like, OK, well whatever.
All right, let me keep reading these entries.
We still got a few more to go here.
So there's nothing new from the Kalos region, but I do have a
couple of new entries from the Alola region.
The first one says it can instantaneously sense it's
opponents movements by feeling air current with it's fine fur.
The next one says it unleashes psychic power from the orb on
its forehead. I mean, I mean, right.
I think that's a problem. It has psychic powers.
Yeah, of course I was going to say I was.
I was just about to say it's talking so much about the air
that that, you know, Espion sounded more like a bird type
than a psychic type. But you know what?
A bird type. Well, you know, like.
A. Is it against flying or is it
worse? You know, like like an air type.
Yeah, like an air type. Exactly like a like one of those
up off the ground types. OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But but you know, then now we got some psychic shenanigans to
go on here. I like this a lot.
OK cool. So yeah, anyways, it says it
unleashes psychic power from the Orban's forehead.
When it's power is exhausted, the orb grows dull and dark.
Don't want that to happen. No, the next entry says.
Although it originally had no powers at all, people say it's
precognitive faculties were awakened by its need to protect
itself. OK, hold on.
So it never. What do you mean it had no
powers at all? But it was an EV.
EV has still has powers. EV can use moves with powers.
Like tackle. No and EV can't EV learn like
hidden power or something? Probably, but I mean like
immense psychic powers I'm sure. Probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
probably. I was like Powers at all.
I'm pretty sure even normal types can use.
Yeah, I guess that's like no powers at all.
Hey, professor in the Olola region, whoever you are.
Palm I guess maybe. Right, it's palm.
Wait, no, it's not Palm. I mean, Palm does write some of
these entries. He does.
I didn't know that. I thought it doesn't he?
I don't know. I can't remember.
I feel like he said he did. He he he does contribute to the
the Pokedex entries. In between.
In between, you know, working at the muck factory.
Whoa, it's not a muck factory they aren't making.
Mugs. It's a landfill, but I mean,
might as well be. Yeah, keep coming.
OK. The next entry says a psychic
power builds up in the OR by its forehead as it bathes in the
sunshine. Espion is not good at battling
at night. All right?
So the sun is very important for for an Espion.
Remember that, Corbin. Remember that if you are ever to
get Molly back. Well, I did experience some of
that a couple nights ago, but we don't have.
To talk about it, OK, Yeah. I mean, do you wanna talk about
it? Are you OK?
I. Don't know, it kind of sounds
like you wanna talk about it. No, it's all good.
It's all good. Just yeah, I was attacked by
Mercros and she couldn't help. No.
Yeah, yeah, that sucked. Did did she run away to your
pokeball again? I'm.
Pretty messed up. Check out the bruise on my my
chest here. Oh wow, look at that.
Yeah, that's. He's just trying to show off the
one chest hair that he has. There's no OK.
Shut offs. I'm 10, leave me alone.
But that is. Very proud.
A mercrow hit me going Mach 10 and.
That would have gone directly through you.
I wish it did. It hurt pretty bad.
So yeah. But Molly tried her best, but
she it was no go. She couldn't.
I mean, also they're dark type so.
Did Molly? Did Molly run back into her
pokey ball again? No, she would never leave me.
She did. I don't know it's that kind.
Of well, I mean, again, distraction, you know what I
mean? Like she she'll come back.
OK, let me Speaking of coming back, let me come back to these
Pokedex entries because we have a couple more to read.
OK, the first one, the next one, there's nothing new in the Gallo
region. This next one comes to us from
the Hisui region. Hisui, that was a very funny
professor. Yeah, mate.
What? I said that was very funny.
You're still laughing at your joke.
You're that was very funny, professor.
What was the joke? The you're gonna Speaking of
come back and then you kind of come back, said that.
OK, never mind that. Was that was not a joke, that
was a perfect segue. Wow, you just what we call it in
the biz. You laughed at him in the biz.
So perfect segue. And so, so the Hissui entry here
says wields an arcane power with which it can predict the predict
the weather and even people's thoughts.
When bathed in the sunshine, the scarlet orb on it's brow glows
and builds energy. Psychic energy.
So it expends psychic energy by using it's psycho power, and it
sucks up the sun's rays to store more psychic energy.
Right, right. That's.
Something to think about if you were to, I don't know, have a a
pop quiz later on. Oh.
Yeah, I told you, I told you. Write that down.
We're having a quiz. I'm paying attention.
I got it. OK, so I do have an entry here
from the lentil region. It says SP on can predict just
about anything by simply detecting slight shifts in the
air. Extremely slight.
It must be. It seems to be leading you
through elsewhere forest so you don't get lost.
All right, I don't know who you're talking to, Professor
Mirror. Yeah, Miss, who's this to?
I feel like this is a private note that we were that we've
stolen. Yeah, I definitely felt like we
weren't supposed to read this. It's like this was not for us.
Who are you sending into the Elsewhere Forest Professor
Mirror? Yeah.
Were they supposed to be there or did you dare them to do it?
Yeah, come on, come on, be nicer to your to your students
proteges. I don't know.
OK, so that does it for the regional entries.
I do have a couple of unique entries here as well, so let's
start reading those. The first one comes to us from
Ash's Pokedex and says S Beyond the Sun Pokémon Espion are able
to read air currents, allowing it to predict the future as well
as it's opponent's next moves. Yeah, I mean, we kind of know
that already, but yeah, nothing, nothing crazy new here.
The next century comes to us from Maze Pokedex Espion, the
Sun Pokémon. It uses it's fine hairs that
cover it's body to sense air currents and predict an
opponent's movement. Yeah, so all about movement
here, nothing about thoughts. All about movement, Yeah, right.
Right Ashes Pokedex again. He clocked it again.
Huh, it's another one. This guy saw two espions and
didn't remember what it was. Espion the sun Pokémon.
It predicts opponents moves and detects air currents with its
body hairs. See now and there.
It's two separate things. It predicts opponents moves and
detects air currents with its body.
But listen, Ash is a flawed boy, OK?
He doesn't get. This all our we are all flawed
boys. We're all flawed, flawed boys.
Even those even girls are flawed boys.
Yeah, you can quote me on that. So I don't I, I, I, I don't
agree. I'm more inclined to agree with
like what the professors say in the Poconex entries as opposed
to Ash. No offense, Ash.
Now, Don. Again.
Now Don had said that I get a tattooed on my chest.
I can't, I cannot overstate this because I I've said it before, I
will say it as many times as I need to.
Ash did not write this Pokedex entry.
This Pokedex entry did not come from Ash.
It came from came from his Pokedex, which for some reason
has different entries than all the other regional entries.
I don't know why all. Right.
Maybe this Pokedex is wrong. All right, machines are
valuable. Valuable.
Fallible. Sure.
That that too. All right.
The next entry comes to us from Chloe's Rotom phone.
Chloe, I don't know if we've heard from you before, but thank
you. Hi.
Chloe. Espion the Sun Pokémon, a
psychic type. When the sun hits the jewel on
Espion's forehead, it builds up psychic power.
It holds the highest loyalty to an accomplished trainer, and it
is that Espion obtained its premonition powers to protect
them. She tried.
She tried her best. And gave up almost immediately.
Well, I mean, you know, we, we didn't train together, you know
what I mean? Like, we're not fighting.
We're hanging out and eating cinnamon rolls, you know what I
mean? Like, we're not like, we're not
like actively out there battling together.
If we had battled more, I have no doubt she could have crushed
those murkros. I mean again though, Murkrow, I,
I hate to talk about typing because you know, I don't really
believe in it, but Murkrow is a dark type and that just is
naturally good against psychic types.
I know that's true, but you're right.
Either way, I felt like I was screwed in that moment.
Yeah. OK.
So the next entry comes to us from Professor Neroli.
Tony. Professor Linguini.
Yeah, we haven't heard of tortellini in a minute.
So Professor Neroli's Pokedex entry says it.
And remember, we all remember what Neroli's specialty is.
I believe it's sleep. Yes, very.
Good Corbin. Cooking have a have a Corbin
star. Thanks.
Wait, wait, wait. What'd you reach into my bed?
That means you can never have a Gold Star.
I'm so sorry, Corbin. Yeah, what do you?
Mean you can't have cursed it. Cancels out, it cancels out one
of your gold stars, actually. So I think you're what,
negative? I guess that puts you at -2 now,
right? It's fine.
I'll I'll take one of my own stars.
All right, so Neroli's Pokedex entry says it bathes in the
sunshine during the day and builds up psychic power on the
orb on its forehead. Is said to be averse to battling
at night, so it might be easier than you'd expect to come across
an espion deep in sleep. Just vibing, just chilling, just
hanging. Out sun, Sun's down.
Sleep Town. Sun's down, sleep town.
I like that, thank. You I worked really hard on it.
I want to get a onesie that says that.
OK, well if you go to the Welcome to the World of Pokémon
store, you'll find. You don't have a merch store
guys if you. Go to the store.
Just type in. Just go to Google.
Just go to Google I guess and type.
In WOP onesie. Yeah, Wop, WOP onesie store,
please. By the way, that will be the
name of our store one make. Onesie.
It'll be woponesie.com. Please don't.
Take that domain. Thanks.
Yeah. So unfortunately, because of
that, we can never have a store, sadly.
Yeah, it's already gone. OK.
So that's going to do it for all the poker.
Because I bought it. Yeah, well.
You don't have any money. Yeah, we don't give you.
Money. We give you gold.
Stars and you give them out to the students.
Yeah, aren't you more broke than me?
No, I I mine my own gold stars. Thank you very much.
Sorry. Please.
You're right, you're right. That was.
Working in the Gold Star mine. OK.
All right.
So that does it for all the Pokedex entries on ESPN.
I think we should go ahead and move on to the testing portion,
my favorite. Portion yeah, gonna put all
right, so let me put a check, gonna pull my desktop.
Here and see what we're doing today.
Hello. Hi, everybody.
Who's this? Yeah, hi.
Oh. My gosh.
I'm here to tell you what we need, what we're doing for class
today. Is that is that Mister Fancy
man? Well, oh, please, Mr. Fancy Man
is my father. Oh, I believe Mr. Fancy Man you
guys understand has passed away. And that's what I was afraid of.
Now he's left me all of his money.
While you're poor one out for Rocket, poor one out for Fancy
Man. So this is fancy man Junior.
I'm I'm Mr. Fancy Man Junior. FMJ, if you will.
OK. No, no, Fancy Man Junior.
Please use my full name Mr. Fancy Man Junior.
Whatever you say. FMJ Now I've taken some time
from my golfing schedule to come here and my my dear old Papa
told me that I have to come to this class every so often and do
a Have you guys pitch me a Pokémon if I wanted his his, you
know, any of his money and his will.
Yes, yes, yeah. Here I am I guess.
About Mr. Fancy Man junior, are you not Mr. Curtis.
Yeah, why? I'm not Mimi.
Hey, I'm. Not mimic you don't mimic our
guest who already not mimic Mr. Fancy Man Junior Mr. Curtis.
Likes to do this bit, give it to him.
It's not. Whoa, whoa.
Hey, Mr. Fancy Man. Junior is right here.
Corbin, I'm. Standing right here in the room.
How Corbin, How dare you? How do?
I know. You think I'm him?
You're. Just putting a mustache up and
down in front of your your your lip.
Come on. No.
All right, all right, settle down class.
I would like for you to pitch me an espion.
I'm in. I'm in the market for an espion,
you might say. So go ahead.
I do. I think I have a rubric here to
read so you guys know what you're doing.
Yes, please, please. I still won't let me.
Go ahead and read it real quick. So your pitch must include
information we learned in class. I mean, I already know
everything about Espion because in addition to being rich, I'm
also very smart and handsome. Nice, good for you.
That's what Pokémon Weekly wrote about me, anyways.
Yeah, I'm sure. Two, you must demonstrate an
understanding of the Pokémon's unique attributes and abilities.
OK, we're all on board there. It sounds like 3 The selling
point or points must be unique to the Pokémon we learned in
class or discussed this lesson. And also as a side note, these
selling points must be for the Pokémon itself and not for a
product it provides or produces. Please, I would love to have a,
you know, a factory producing so much, so many wonderful coats of
of Espion fur. But please not, not for this,
for this exercise and #4 the student who provides the most
compelling selling points will get a bonus point.
How wonderful. Yes, competition, I think, goes
a long way. It's how I was able to get on
top, and not because of my father was a very rich man.
This sounds. Like generational wealth?
Sorry, I don't think so. OK, go ahead, get writing.
Take your time. I know.
Listen, I'm a very, I'm a very astute professional here when it
comes to purchasing. So you really have to wow me.
Wow. Wow.
OK, Professor. No, I no, no, please.
You're getting me confused with your, with your wonderful
teacher. No, Mr. FM Corbin, please don't.
Like we're very clear, like our voices are so different, right?
It's. Just a fake.
It's just a drawn mustache. Too.
It's not. It's Aryan.
Professor FMJ, give me a minute. Yeah, it's back, fancy man
junior, if you will. Right.
All right, take your time. Goodbye.
Goodbye, everybody. Oh, OK.
Is everybody done? Is this is Professor James?
Fancy man, I'm done. Is this how you normally do it?
Is this how you normally? Fancy, fancy man.
Yeah, this. Is this is normally how I do it.
This is how I, you know, I just make sheets when everybody's
like, kind of like put their pencils down and just like
looking at me. Oh, OK.
I think that's what they're doing right now.
Would you say? Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Yeah, yeah, I'd say so. OK, yeah.
So let's let's go ahead. Mr. Fancy.
Mr. Fancy Man. Junior, if you would please sit
right there. Oh, wow.
Excellent. Wonderful seat.
Thank you. Thank you.
Professor Jacob Guy. Is he so nice?
He's such a nice guy. Yeah, he's OK.
Corbin, would you let? Oh, yes.
No, Go ahead, Mr. Curtis. No, I was going to say I just
said I I think that Mister Fancy Man Junior is a great person.
Great. Well, he's a great.
Professor, great. Thank you.
Thank you for that. All right, Corbin, if you could
please give us your pitch first. Absolutely.
OK, so I got excuse. You.
I'm so sorry. Dare you interrupt him?
Yeah, please. You sneeze directly into Mr.
Fancy Man's face. Ohh God ohh.
I'm. Sorry, you cover your mouth.
Yeah, deduction points, deductive points, OK, so.
I think I just might. Okay, I got two very important
uses. I apologize for interrupting
you, Corbin. Shut up, you get 2 very
important uses. Very sorry.
For this Pokémon here okay let's dive in here talk about ESPN all
right so number one, you can use it as a special defense or
martial arts trainer. So by being able to predict your
moves, it could teach you how to be unpredictable in a fistfight
so you can get the upper hand on your opponent it'll teach you
how to attack faster and try to do unpredictable thinking so
that you could fool your opponent right that would be
pretty cool also it's a psychic type good against fighting type.
So if you ever try to get mad during a lesson and fight it,
it's going to own your butt. Sorry.
Now, however, that is one use for it if you're into special
defense and all that stuff. But that's fine.
But not everybody's into that. But let me tell you what
everybody's into. It's a word called food.
And everybody dreams of having a place where they could just go
eat for free, which means you could have your own restaurant.
Imagine that having your own restaurant.
It would make bank, you know. The best way?
You can make money owning a restaurant is if you hire an
espion as your chef and I'll tell you why.
It's ability to read guests minds.
They know and know exactly what they're in the mood for and
exactly what they want when they want it.
It's going to know exactly oh what do you want?
A burger with no Pickles and this with the bun toasted.
This way it's going to know every minute detail about your
order before you even open your mouth #1 #2 it can feel air
currents. So if that's the case, it can
feel if there's temperature changes in the kitchen, maybe a
dish is getting too hot, or maybe something is about to
burn, but you can't quite smell yet.
It knows when that's going to happen.
It knows when stuff is too hot. It can right?
It knows the temperatures of everything that it's supposed to
be, and also it can it because it smells air or it can feel air
currents. It can also check for gas leaks
before you can smell it too. It knows if there's a gas leak 4
rooms away. Doesn't even need to smell it,
it could just feel it. OK, that's very important
because you don't want a gas leak and it'll say something
does happen. There is an accident, somebody
barges in, you have an irate customer, there's a gas leak,
something explodes. Espion's are loyal.
They will protect you in case of any accident.
So there's a fire or anything detrimental.
It's got your back and it's going to save as many people as
it can. And honestly, I can't think of a
better use for one. So you either got a special
defense teacher or you have the best chef in the world.
Thank you very much. OK, OK.
I maybe maybe I wouldn't necessarily call it a chef,
right? It's not going to be cooking the
food, right? It's just maybe like a partner
there for sure. Sure.
Why? It can.
It can also, it can be like a sous chef, but it can also, I
mean, why can't it cook the food, right?
Like the ways, like the power is to lift different utensils and
then do all that stuff. It can learn, it's smart, it's
psychic type, it can learn how to cook and it can do all this
stuff. OK, so we got we got a special
defense teacher and a chefs partner.
OK, we'll we'll dive into that a little bit more.
But I think I think Mr. Fancy Man Junior down here is very
excited to to hear what Mr. Curtis has to say.
Yeah. Even though you sneezed in my
face, you weird, lumpy man, I would very much like to hear
your proposal. So go whenever, whenever you're
ready. Please go ahead.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Fancy, but of course, of course.
Please, it would be great if you could stop mocking me.
I know that's not how you talk. Yeah, it's kind of.
I was the whole class. I was just behind the desk.
It's a. It's a.
A imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery.
He does. Got you there.
Mr. Fancy, fancy man, Junior. And I'm just so enamoured by
your, your demeanor that I just think it's so great.
I want to be just like you friends.
I am great, this is true. This will not get you extra
points, you understand. It sounds like it sounds like it
might. I don't know.
I think I OK. All right.
Well, let me just quick clear my throat real quick.
Oh. God, here we go again.
No. Much better.
OK, thank you, Espion.
Let me say, let me ask, what do all fancy man's need on their
fancy estates? Don't.
Please don't say statues again. Let's say it again.
Oh no. Fancy lifeguards.
That's right. What?
What do you get when you hire? When you hire an espion of, say,
Molly's caliber here? First of all, obviously predict
the weather. Espion's innate ability will
make sure that you're never caught in the water during a
thunderstorm. Not great for your fancy man
composure if you're shocked by lightning.
Second of all, detect thoughts. OK, what?
You know what is more embarrassing at a fancy man pool
party than you know? A false alarm.
A lifeguard jumping into the pool, right?
There will be no UN fancy false alarms because Espion will be
able to monitor you and will only intervene to help you when
you deem it's necessary, IE when you're actually in trouble.
Otherwise it just gets to sit up there and look pretty.
Also, it can detect the thoughts of any enemies, right?
That will keep you from getting caught while you're swimming
with your proverbial pants down. That's right, if you're in the
zone swimming or maybe checked out and floating in the pool and
not really paying attention, then it can.
You know it's super powered. Detection of enemy thoughts and
predicting enemy moves will, you know, alert you to danger before
it becomes a problem, allowing you to get out fancy and out of
the way of trouble. I do have a.
Lot of enemies. This is very true.
Also, obviously you're out in the pool, you're swimming in the
sun. Espions like to be out in the
sun when you're swimming. That's their environment.
They get to be out there absorbing energy just like
Espions do in the summertime, you know, so they're living
their best life while you're living your best life.
And I can't think of anything fancier than that.
Thank you very. Much truly encaptured.
The embodiment of fancy. Mr. Curtis.
Thank. You.
That's right. That's right.
Thank you. OK, so let's quickly go over
here. Some of the things so.
So Mr. Curtis's fancy, fancy lifeguard, I think is what he
is, how he describes it, right. Yes, fancy.
Lifeguard. So yeah Curtis great job yeah.
Predicting the weather, very good, that is.
That is one of the main things that SPF can do.
Also, it likes the sunlight, which is very, very good.
Now, detecting thoughts. This is something that we talked
about, although for the most part it does have, I feel like
it has a limited ability to detect thoughts.
It's more movement based, but I think, I think everything you
said can be kind of tied back to movement and stuff.
Our general thought readings, I think that's fine.
So I'm not going to deduct you any points there.
Corbin, however. What's up?
I don't know if ASP on will necessarily be able to know the
exact order that a that that a customer is thinking.
I don't think it's it's mind reading abilities go that deep.
It can read your. I mean that that's just you
guessing. You don't know that says it can
read your thoughts if you're thinking about.
Just. Excuse me?
A pizza. It's gonna, it's gonna know when
you walk in the door before you even order your drink.
Like by the time you order your drink from the waiter, it's
already bringing out your the exact pizza that you want.
Because it could have read your mind.
It knows what you're in the mood for.
And I don't quite understand you didn't really like talk too much
about how it can teach you how to to, to fight unpredictably.
You could you could expand on that a little.
Bit so my my thought, I get it. I get it.
Ambiguity is not your thing. I hear you.
So so the way it works is if you like are working with an espion
and doing mixed martial arts and all that stuff.
So my thought is you are obviously going to spar with the
Espion. So obviously it's going to know
every punch, every kick, every tackle, everything you try to
throw at it, it's going to be able to defend you.
But that doesn't mean it can't help you be a little bit faster
or try to, you know, Juke it out.
You think you're going to go for like a right hook, You actually
go for a left kick. You know what I mean?
Like if you can, it's going to teach you to try to outsmart it.
It will say all right now like think about this, but the last
minute you change it. The whole point is it's changing
the way your brain thinks in a fight so that if you think, you
know, if you think too much about what you're going to do
before you do it in a fight, you know, somebody might be able to
pick up on that. That may not be an espion, but
if you're getting into a fist fight, they might be able to
pick up on that. The whole part thing about a
fight is that it's not just about strength and dexterity.
It's also about your mental capacity.
Can you, can you, can you, how can you fight intelligently?
So if you fake them out, if you're going to go for a punch
or you're going to go for a kick, now you got them down.
Look at. That I'm not going.
To be able to predict it. I don't think it's too far
fetched to to say that constantly sparring with a with
an opponent that can read your mind would inherently teach you
to be a little bit more unpredictable in a fight.
So I think that's true. I just don't think it's
particularly particularly unique to ESPN, although ESPN does
it's, it is it's specialty is knowing movement.
So maybe the ESPN is a little bit more fine-tuned for that.
I still don't know if it could be you know perfectly know
exactly what what order you want.
I think it will. But you know what, you did also
mention that it's very loyal. And of course, you didn't
mention that it can feel air currents, although I don't know
if that'll help it tell if there's a gas leak.
I guess if it moving air. Yeah.
You know what? You know, Corbin, I was going to
take off points, but I think I've talked myself into giving
you full marks. So all right.
Professor that that seems very fair and equitable, Professor.
You, Mr. Curse, of course get full marks as well.
I think you guys both did very well, but of course it is up to
Mr. Fancy Man. To see Mr. Fancy Man.
What? What do you have to say, Mr.
Fancy Man? Well, I have so many things to
say. You know, there's a lot of good
things, buddy. Of course I have a fancy pool in
my yard. I have many fancy pools even.
And, you know, it would be nice to have a lifeguard that could
predict the weather in the future.
I've gotten caught in the rain so many times before.
It's horrible. It's horrible.
But I do have a number of of of restaurants as well that could
use that could use a a, you know, future seeing a predicting
chef's assistant that could also be very, very useful in this
point to go. Professor Jacob, I don't know
how you do this. It's so hard to choose.
Tell me about it. It's a it, it is tough.
Let me you figure it out. I don't know why I'm thinking
about removing this from the rubric.
I would if I would. That'd be a very smart thing.
You're a smart man, aren't you, Professor Jacob?
I mean, listen, I'm not going to sit here and.
Do my smartest the smartest right Mr. Fancy Man.
Do you just with no equal I would say.
I wholeheartedly agree. I think I'm going to give it to
Mr. Curtis for this one. The bonus, yeah, unfortunately,
I think, I think it's the fact that it will also protect me
from my enemies. I think is very good.
Teaching me how to fight is all, well, good, but a fancy man
doesn't fight his own battles. People to do that, yeah, that's
true. You do hire.
You can hire people. So bonus points to Vista Curtis.
Thank you. Thank you.
All right. Well, I have many, many accounts
I need to take care of and many, many portfolios I need to look
at. So please continue.
Maybe. What was that?
Nothing. What did you say?
I just said stocks. Do stocks, yes, yes, of course,
my stocks. Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me about my stocks, Corbin next.
Hey, maybe you could be a fantasy man in the future if you
try, you know? One day I'm thinking very good.
All right, goodbye everybody. Goodbye, goodbye man.
OK, All right, He's gone. He's.
Done all right, put the most national way.
There you go. All right.
Hey, good work, everybody. It wasn't that fun.
We met a new character here today.
That was good. Mr. Francie Mann, Junior.
Yeah, it was such a pleasure. So so sad to hear about his his
father a terrible. Tragedy really devastating.
Honestly hurts to even think about.
All right, well that's good. Do it for today's lesson on
Espion. Does anybody know who we are
learning about next week? It is another evolution of.
Ethan Oh, it's Umbreon. Very good, Corbin.
Excellent. It worked.
I know, I know. It's not the best brachion.
No, it's not a rachneon. Not a real focus.
Shut up. Iraq.
I don't know. Shut up.
I will of course be providing the Umbreon for class next week.
I haven't managed to get my EV to evolve yet, but I haven't
really been trying that hard. I've been trying to coerce Mr.
Fancy Man Junior to come visit today.
That's fair. How's that?
Took up a majority of my time this week.
A. Lot.
A lot, yeah. Yes, But yes, Umbreon is who
we're going to be talking about next week.
All right, so that's gonna do it for today's lesson.
If anybody, if any students out there, would like to contact me,
a professor, the best way to do that is via our Gengar mail,
which is wwwpokemon@gmail.com. But we also have numerous other
ways to get in contact with us. Corbin, you want to take a stab
at telling our virtual students what all those are?
Yeah, so in the link tree of every single lesson.
So there's a little link right there.
If you don't know what a link tree is.
By the way, I don't know if I've ever actually explained this.
I'm sure I have. A link tree is a link to a whole
bunch of other links. It's like a tree with a bunch of
links on it. It's like branches.
Yeah. So there's a lot of links in
there. There is the link to our very
recently created YouTube channel, which has all of the
recent Nuz Lock videos. Again, we said we were
originally doing it for Patreon, and we had it on Patreon for
quite a while. However, we decided recently to
make it publicly available for everybody on the YouTube
channel. So if you guys want to check it
out, that link is also in the description or you just type in
Welcome to the world of Pokémon YouTube.
You should find it. So we're posting our Nuz lock
there shorts animations, all that stuff.
We also got our Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, our a link to
our discord channel and our Patreon, which is the most
important all in the link tree in the description.
Check it out, follow us, engage with us.
We would love it. We would love to have you.
Yes. And just as a reminder for
students, I think I keep saying next week and Corbin has been
trying his best to correct me, but man, I'm persistent.
We will not be having class next week again.
The AC is broken here at the GCLCBOTSCLC.
Oh yeah. So we we are still on this bi
weekly schedule. But yes.
So again, our apologies the the headmistress has decided on this
new schedule. You know, I can't get behind it.
But yeah. What are you gonna do?
I don't. Know what are you gonna?
Do Mr. Curtis anything you'd like to add before before I end
the class? Just that I think that everybody
should come experience our wonderful Nuzak playthrough.
Pokémon Emra. You get it, Two weeks.
Early by the way, if you watch it on Patreon, I forgot to
mention that you do get to see every new episode 2 weeks early
on Patreon. If you support us, appreciate
you. Let me tell you what the most
recent one, so funny, so choice, and you're going to have to
wait. You're going to have to wait two
weeks to see it. On YouTube that sucks on what?
I know on YouTube. Oh, a mute.
Yeah, that's right. That's right on YouTube.
Yeah, exactly. All right.
Well, that's going to do it for today's lesson.
So until next time, classes dismissed.
