Hello there, and welcome to the world of Pokémon.
My name is Professor Jacob, and thank you everybody so much for
attending this lecture on Pokémon biology because that's
what we do here. We learn about Pokémon biology
and sometimes, sometimes. Hey, apes.
Hey, quiet. I'm doing an intro.
I'm doing an intro here. All right.
Corbin, sorry. I'm sorry.
OK, joining me here in the classroom today is, of course,
my wonderful teaching assistant, Mr. Curtis.
Mr. Curtis, how are you? How you doing?
Oh, I'm so excited to be here, professor.
And and you know what? For the first time ever, excited
about somebody else sits here in the classroom.
Hello there. Oh, is that you must be
referring to our young trainer and training, Corbin, or should
I say this little arsonist here who just loves to burn bridges.
And now it's back and trying to figure out how to cross them
once again. Hi, Corbin, How are you?
You. Guys talking down to me it's.
Because you're shorts. We're a minute into the lesson.
You guys are already bullying me.
Can you at least wait till the five minute mark?
My God. OK, I'm.
I'm doing OK. I really last week was gonna be
my last lesson in this room. I guess not.
I don't. Know what is that way to do with
$500 to be honest? I could do.
I'm 10. I could make $500.
I could have made $500 last. Give me a little bit of what you
would have done. So many suckers.
So many. So many lives.
I mean, how much does suckers cost here in Golden Run City?
Like a dollar. I could buy so many though.
Like a dollar for like 20. $0.05 are you serious?
I could buy like a billion for 500 bucks.
The math checks out. Also, I was going to use that to
finally, you know, buy a house or something.
That's how much a house cost, right?
Oh goodness, I don't I. Don't know.
I don't know about. I don't know about that.
Anyways, happy October, at least the chill is in the air.
It's feeling good, the leaves. Are turning?
Are you sure that the chill isn't from the brand spanking
new air conditioning units that we've had installed?
It's so clean, so smooth. That has helped.
That is, That is true. But there's a breeze outside,
too. Yeah, yeah, it is getting crisp
out there. I will say I'm AI, love the fall
weather. I can't.
Oh, me too, professor. Me too.
I can't get over it. I can't get over the trees
changing colors. I can't get over, you know, the,
the like you know, the, the humidity is just just
disappearing. Get it out of here so it's like
we. Don't.
Even drive, I'm glad that the AC got fixed right at the time we
don't need it. Well, yeah, I mean, like, well,
think about it logically, Corbin.
No. When is everybody's air
conditioning going to break? Right when it's when it's being
used. In the summer.
Exactly. When it's being used in the
summer, so the air conditioning repair people are swamped.
They are just full of requests for people, like asking them to
come fix their air conditioning unit.
So we were. Left school is.
Down at the bottom of the priority list, of course.
Yeah, and they're like, why do you have class during summer?
And I'm like, don't talk to me, talk to the headmistress.
Right, it's her. It's her fault.
Yeah. All right, so let's go ahead and
get into the lesson today before we really start.
I have a Gengar male here. You do?
Well, actually, I have two. I have two.
Company two. I have two.
All right, cool. The first one comes to us from
Kirill, I think. I feel like I've been told to
pronounce their name as Krill, but I cannot remember.
They say hello Professor Jacob, Mr. Curtis, and a sweet baby
boy, Corbin. Hey, that's demeaning.
Hey, it is. Well known amongst that's true.
You are a sweet baby boy. I am sweet, but I'm not a baby.
Boy. Yeah, I'm a boy.
OK. OK.
You didn't say that one. I just want to make sure.
Identify as a boy. Yeah, it is well known amongst
and. Identify as sweet.
Put that on a T-shirt. I identify pronouns are he, him,
and sugar and sweet. Sugar, sugar, sugar.
That's right. And honey.
And. Honey, sugar and honey.
And gum drops. It is well known amongst US
students that you, Professor Jacob, have a Litton that you
will never evolve because Incineroar is ugly.
I mean it, I get ugly, but also I just don't like them.
They're kind of scary. I don't, I don't want that.
I don't want what is basically a tall buff man, a tall buff furry
man walking around my house. I just don't want that.
I don't know, like that's, that's pretty fair.
That's pretty. There's a lot of people who
would kill for that. Personally, for the journey that
I'm on, I don't want that. Really, you don't?
Well, you know things can change.
Maybe a year from now you would love a tall buff man walking
around your house and it's a can't do.
Can't see that. I mean, sure, it would be OK if
I did, but I can't see that happening.
I I I can walk around your house.
I'm tall. You're not buff.
I mean, I'm, I'm pretty strong. I'm not.
I mean, I'm. More.
OK, you are unnaturally strong Mr. Curtis, but you again, you
are not buff. Is less and also not hairy, more
slimy. OK, that's true.
T wait, wait, wait wait wait. T-shirt.
Oh, maybe not hairy, more slimy. That could work, Yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, sorry, dinner rough.
Go ahead. OK so you'll never evolve into
an incineroar because it is ugly, Although I don't agree I
can see why you would think that.
But what about Toracat? I think Toracat is an amazing
looking Pokémon, even better than Litton.
So I think you should evolve Litton into Toracat.
It would make Litton stronger and cuter.
I fully disagree. I don't think it would make it
cuter. There's no, I mean, sure will be
stronger, but I'm not. I don't want my listen listen.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing, I.
Don't want to have a strong, powerful thing in my house.
I'm not using this Linton whose name is yet to be decided.
Maybe make it a? Community.
Movement. I don't know.
I don't know, maybe when we get a Patreon goal.
I don't know. I don't want to.
I don't want my Linton to be able to like knock me over
right. Like it already tries to get at
me when it's when it's wants a treat or something I don't need.
I don't need it to be a Torah cat or God forbidden incineroar
who can just clothesline me. Imagine wants a treat.
Right. Imagine a Tour cat trying to
knead you on your lap. Oh, that would hurt.
Oh. God, what about what about like
all the all the like battling and stuff you do, professor?
I don't battle I've he's not a trainer.
I am not a trainer. Became a professor that reads
the people. Oh.
Just cause the professor chooses not to participate in the
Pokémon Trainer league does not mean he sucks.
Corbin, you better change said where I wreck yourself.
Say it is true, I do suck at training, but I don't suck in
general. But I suck at training Pokémon,
that's true. Okay, right, right, that's fair.
Okay, and then Crail goes on to say also one more thing before I
end this. Gengar male.
This is for you, Mr. Curtis. I know I'm not going to get a
Gold Star if I say this, but I don't care.
I'm going to be brutally honest. Your spinner rack are
disgusting, vile, ugly, cancerous beings.
I'm sorry, but it needed to be said.
Bye. He dropped the C word.
He said cancer. That's bad, that's really bad.
That's you get 3 Corbin stars for that.
Nice shot. Wow, 3 Corbin stars.
Three Corbin stars. I agree with you.
Spinner racks are disgusting. They should be eradicated from
the planet. Thank you very.
Much I know that eradicate is a different Pokémon.
All I can say is I appreciate your honesty and I hope you, I
hope you stick to your gumption when the revolution of the Night
Mother comes and. I'll, I'll, I'll.
Be happy to see what what happens to you when you say that
to her face. Damn, my mother's not even real.
Whoa, you can't say that, Corbin.
Don't say that. What?
Corbin. Corbin.
We've had a. Discussion going.
We've had a discussion about this in this classroom.
We do not use those words. OK, we're going to have some
more. Mother not in real, because the
mother's not real. Hold on.
Corbin.
Professor, please excuse me. I need to take.
Corbin.
Come on. Come on.
Don't say it too long. Don't have a whole lesson.
We still have another get away from me they're.
Out. Get away.
No, no, we just need to have a quick discussion out in the
hallway. Come.
On Do you want to take the recording device with you?
Because I'm not going to be saying anything interesting in
here. No, just leave it.
Just leave it. OK, alright, alright.
What's? The what's the deal?
What's? The deal I listen.
We've talked about this, Corbin. Feels like you didn't have a
plan, huh? What are you talking about?
It's it's it's listen, I'm just throwing it out there.
Maybe. Maybe she's not real at all to.
Destroy you. You don't.
Have to. OK, you're fighting a child now.
You're bringing a kid. And I don't feel safe here
because I just simply threw up the idea that the Night Mother's
not. Real.
It's not a big deal. Drag you up and down the ball?
No. Now you're talking about
dragging me. That's different than just
hurting me. You're talking about dragging
me. Dragging me is I'm not listen,
I'm not a a bag. I don't need to be dragged.
Think about. It's like I grade some papers
while they're out. There by my bitter.
Ridiculous. Like you never stop and think
about the whole idea of a night Mother is just like, come on,
Nurse Joy. Mother is the.
Whole. Reason that this classroom.
Operates Okay, that's just actually not true, okay, I'm
tired of your urban legends. I'm tired of your And that's
why. And that's why pineapples should
be on pizza. That's what I think, Mr. Curtis.
I think they should be. And in pineapples.
It's hard. Because if you have the
sweetness, if you put them on with the saltiness, it's the
perfect balance. Supposed.
To be 3. Hours.
Free. When you have a balance, that's
the that's the thing that matters.
Mushrooms. Olives.
I should have stopped this a long time ago.
Really. This is on me on the pizza.
I got to be honest. They're mandatory for a pizza
with pineapples. They are.
They're underrated. A couple more minutes of this
and I'm going to, I'm going to say something.
They don't come back in on the themselves.
No, this is I can't deal with. What about?
Toros jerky You can put a little with Toros jerky I.
Would I would be OK with toros jerky as long as it's like, you
know, spiced and. It's a couple more minutes ago.
They're gonna they're gonna sort it out.
I want them to work it out if you'd.
Agree, that would be the best pizza, toros, jerky and
pineapple. I think we're in agreement.
No, no, no. You go with the pineapple.
It's a. Couple it's a good salt in the
sweet. It's about a balance.
It's important. Pineapple.
OK, whatever. I'm done.
I'm going back. I'm done with this guy.
All right, I'm done. I'm done.
Well, that seemed like, I think a productive conversation and
well worth the three hours that it took for you guys to reach
the. Conversion, I think it was Yeah
3. Hours.
Uh huh. Hopefully Porsche is nice enough
to cut most of that out. We haven't even.
I still have a Gengar male here here to read.
We don't even know what Pokémon we're learning about this week
and it's been 3 hours. I'm so sorry, Professor.
Sorry. Alright, He.
Just got me your fault. It's your fault.
OK, Hey, calm down. Calm down, everybody, sit down.
Sit down and pay attention. I'm.
I'm good. I'm in charge of this class.
All right, all right. This nice Gangar mail comes to
us from Theodore and it says bug types are the best.
Hey, that's my is that is that the?
Whole. Is that the whole Gmail that's?
Got the. The whole Gangar Mail, Mr.
Curtis Gold Star. Gold Star.
And in fact, you, you get you get this Gold Star right here,
this special one right here. I was holding on to.
I thought I was gonna, you know, maybe give it to someone special
today. And I guess that someone special
is you, Theodore. Thank you.
Alright. So, so listen everybody, keep.
An eye on your mailbox. To get a special Gold Star for
Mr. Curtis, it's sending a one. Just just a quick just a quick
e-mail. It's a one line e-mail that
gives us your opinion on bug types and hey, maybe we'll read
it. I don't.
Know, or, or if you send me an e-mail, it says Corbin's kind of
cute. You'll get a Gold Star or a
Corbin star for that too, you know what I'm saying?
No, just please don't give us an e-mail that says Corbin's kind
of cute. No, no.
You have like that, you know for a fact.
You have no way of knowing that. You don't know what he looks
like. You can just believe it.
OK, All right, so that does it for the Gengar males today.
Thank you one and all. For the students that did send
it in, I believe it was Krill and Theodore.
Thank you so much. If you students out there would
like to send us, thank you, Can send it to wwopokemon@gmail.com.
Yeah, we'll say it again at the end of the lesson.
So if you missed it that time, just go ahead and stick around.
You'll hear. It stick around.
You'll sure, all right. Does anybody know what Pokémon
we're learning about this week? It has nothing to do with the
Pokémon we learned about last week, which was Mercrow.
It's completely new, completely different.
Does anybody know? I guess it's completely new.
We said it's not honky crow, right?
It's not, it's not Honky Tonky Crow, no.
Is it? Is it Decidui?
No, it's not Decidui. Wait, it's what we talked about
before, right? Well, we haven't talked about
this Pokémon before, but we have talked about what it evolves
from. This is one of those.
Is it? I mean, we talked about a lot of
Pokemons. Give me a typing.
Give me a typing king. Sure, you know what?
I will. It is a water and psychic type.
Oh, that. Should that should really open
it up for you. Oh, it's slow King, right?
Yes, we're learning about Slow Corbin.
Excellent, Excellent. So proud of you.
Excellent job. Gold Star, please.
I don't. I'm not in charge of gold stars.
Mr. Curtis Gold Star. No, no, no, no and.
All right, I hope you fall down a well.
For the record, for the record, once you said water and psychic
type, I was gonna say star me, but I mean, I guess a.
Fair. Well, OK, we have already
learned about Star Me so we would not be learning about it
again. Or Brooks, Brooks, Ish Brooks.
That's a that's, that's a water. Psychic.
We've already said it. Shut up.
Yeah, OK. Thank you.
Thank you for the, you know, list of things that you would
have said, Mr. Curtis. All right.
But no, we are learning about slow king this week, and I have
a slow king here. OK, So I'm gonna go ahead and
throw it out. Oh, geez, Hold on.
I had that. You're a weak professor.
Oh, look at that. Whoa.
Say, say that again to my face. Corbin, we're gonna go back out
in the hallway. No, no.
No, no, we don't have no, we've already wasted 3 hours.
OK, what an interesting looking Pokémon.
So yeah, it, it does look a lot like, you know, kind of slow,
bro, a little bit. It's very interested in what I
have written on the on the blackboard up here.
That's interesting. OK.
So like. Hey, it's correcting.
It's correcting some math that I've done.
I don't like this. I don't like this thing.
Describe it so I can get rid of it.
The the shell is gone from its butt like it's no longer tail.
It's on that. It's on the head now.
It looks like a crown I guess,
hence the name. So it's similar to slow Bro,
except again, the shell is on its head, not it's butt.
It's a little bit of a lighter color and it has a gem in the
middle of it. It's got like the the, the the
crown is more like these two horns coming out of it, which is
kind of neat. And it does have and professor,
I cannot tell if this is a a tire or if it's part of the
Pokémon's flesh, but it looks like a little it's a it's a
white and red and it looks like a a frilly little collar.
I don't know. It's around a.
Little tug, give it a little tug, see if it comes off, give.
It a little. It's not coming off, professor.
It's not coming off. So it could still be like glued
on or something. I don't know what.
Let's just go on. Maybe maybe the Pokedex entries
will describe it. But let's for now, let's just
call it like a fleshy flap, a skin flap if you will.
Oh, flaps. That would be a good name for
the Slug King too. How about flaps?
Flaps. I don't I don't like that name.
Please please suggest another. What about?
What about Sage? Sage.
I'm sorry, Flop. OK.
Did you say flop? You said flap wasn't good, so I
came up with the next best thing, which was flop.
You know what? You're right, flop is the next
best thing to flap. I'm fine with that.
I don't, I don't know. I don't I like Sage.
I mean that could. Be a middle name.
I feel like we've already named a Pokémon Sage though.
Have we done that? It feels, it feels like we have.
I don't think we've hit flute, flute.
So let's go. Ahead and Sage McGuire, OK.
Flute Sage McGuire. Yeah, I mean McGuire not, am I
right? Right.
I mean, I everybody got to contribute a name, so I wanted
to contribute a name too. OK, Flute.
Sage McGuire. McGuire OK.
Yeah, rolls right off the tongue.
Easy. All right.
So, OK, So I think we, I think have we adequately described
flute Sage McGuire? I think we have, Mr. McGuire.
I think we've described you very well.
So I think, I think it's Doctor McGuire.
Doctor, I'm sorry. Yeah, that's smart.
Yeah, OK. Yeah, it definitely has a
doctorate. Anyways, PhD level Pokémon.
Go ahead and get back into this Pokémon.
There he goes. All right, bye Ploop.
All right, I own you. You can't.
You can't say that to people. No, we own the Pokémon.
This this genius level entity is mine to control, to have and to
hold. That's a flex.
All right, so let's go ahead and move into these Pokedex entries.
All right, so the first entry from the Dojo region says it has
incredible intellect and intuition.
Whatever the situation, it remains calm and collected.
Chill. If you now when we describe
Pokémon like Quagsire or Slow Bro who are also calm and
collected, we don't say that's because they have good intellect
and intuition, and we say it's because they're dimwitted and
stupid. Right.
For some reason Slow King is not
seen that way. Yeah, that that feels like such
a AA double standard on my part. It does.
I mean, I guess that there's other things that Slow King will
do and does that, you know, less people know that it's OK.
It's not, you know, calm and collected because it's stupid.
It's calm and collected because it's very much the opposite.
Yeah, it's just so smart and mature and knows when it's a
appropriate things in the class and what to put on.
Not put on their pizza, you know, Seems like a really great
person to have around all the time.
Professor You. Know right the intuition would
allow it to say hey I know that pineapple is the best logical
thing to put on pizza so. I'm with that I don't know.
I'm with it. Are you guys referencing
something? I don't know where this is.
Coming from nothing, Professor, just continue.
Just go ahead. Just go ahead, OK.
OK, so the next entry says when it's head was bitten, toxins
entered Slowpoke's head and unlocked an extraordinary power.
OK so that's the answer. So before it was just stupid and
then that that shell made it smart.
So when it was when the shell was on the butt as slow bro it
was still dim witted and dumb. But now that it is, it sucked.
All the. Smartness.
It's a smart boy. It sucked all the smartness to
the butt and now it's sucking. Yeah, like, listen, slow T-shirt
slow bro is butt smart, all right?
Butt smart. Is butt.
Smart T-shirt Butt Smart no. No no, slow king is head smart.
Slow bro is butt smart. Yeah, okay, I can see that.
I can see that. I still just wanna put butt
smart on a T-shirt. Sorry, I'm trying to find a way
to do it. Or you got, you got to be
careful not like to, to separate the two words because you don't
want somebody to think that it's butt smart.
And we have, it's like a grocery store where we sell butts.
Right, right, right. Exactly.
You got you got you have to pause for the laughter that's
going on right now. Oh, OK.
Sorry the the just unquelible like storm of laughter that is
going on in the virtual listeners.
Give the give the students a second, a laugh.
Yep. OK.
OK, I think they've calmed down now.
I think they've calmed down now all.
Right, yeah, don't, don't crash your car listening to this
laughing smart, right? Continue.
It was. I thought it was hilarious,
Professor. Yeah, anyway, so but smart.
It'll be a great T-shirt. Look for it.
Look for it in our store at that doesn't give a Pokémon dot store
at Real dot web. People OK, people don't know
that that's a joke, professor. They will actually go look it
up. I think they'll realize that
it's. A.
No, they don't care enough to try.
Look it up. Or I read this next entry.
Does anybody remember like what the Pokémon that is doing the
biting is? Do we remember?
It was a shelter, right? It's a yeah.
It is a shelter. It is a shelter.
Great, Excellent job, Corbin Outer because I think we can all
agree that the thing that we saw on Flop Sage Mcquire, Flop Sage
Mcquire, that's the name. Yep.
The thing we saw in Flop Sage Mcquire's head didn't look
anything like a shelter, right? It didn't.
No, it didn't. OK, It looked like some sort of
amalgamation of different, you know, shell like Pokémon.
So that might make you think that it's not Shelder, but
according to this next century it is.
It says every time it yawns, Shelder injects more poison into
it. You know Shelder, the poison
type Pokémon. Remember how Shelder is like,
really poisonous? Well, it could still have poison
in it and not be a poison type, right?
Sure, but that's I don't think we learned that there's a lot of
poison involved. Listen, you said yourself the
typing is BS. But but what about what about
the shelter doesn't have a big a big crystal on its head though?
Where does the crystal come from, Professor?
Well, so I mean in the same way. So you know what?
I think you're right, Mr. Curtis, you're calling me on
this. And sometimes somebody has to,
you know, when. So in the same way that the
Slowpoke changes its form, like when it gets bitten, the
shoulder also changes its form. It's a dual evolution.
The two of them together form Slowbro.
You cannot have one without the other.
Or slow king, right? Or sloking.
You're right. Or sloking.
Sorry, because we were. Is there a slow queen?
There can be. Is it?
Oh, oh, oh, sorry, my bad. There is a there is a slow
queen. It's dawn when she first wakes
up in the morning. She's a little bit, she's a
little bit slow in the morning. You would think that she's a
morning person, but she's not. You would think.
With the name from. What I have been told and not
from seeing it first hand by being outside of her house.
She is not a morning person. That's what I've heard.
Not seeing it first hand. So creepy Corbin.
Anyway, so let me start reading this century again.
Or should not finish it. Every time it yawns, Shelder
injects more poison into it. The poison makes it more
intelligent. Yeah.
So remember, everybody, just inject poison into your head.
It'll make you smarter, OK? All right, but please, the
GCLCBCLCGAC cannot endorse supplementing with.
That's why it's so hard for. You guys shelder poison to
improve your grades, so it's not okay.
Yeah, don't do it, Wink. Anyways, it's GCLC bot SCLC if
you're figuring trying to figure out how who your lawyers should
contact when you inevitably try this.
Right, exactly. Anyways, the next entry here
comes to us from the Hoenn region, but it says Slow King
undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries
of the world. However, if this Pokémon forgets
everything it has learned? If the shoulder on its head
comes off. Wait, what does it?
Does it come off? I mean, I'm sure it could come
off and I don't think it does that often though.
I was going to say if it does. Is it still?
Is it still Slow King? I think it could just go back to
being a slow. That's I was gonna ask, is it a
slow bro if the shelter comes off?
Well, no if. It puts the shelter back on.
Does it still keep a hold of all the knowledge?
Does it have to relearn everything it learned?
Or does have to be poisoned again?
And then or What if you took the shoulder off the head, it
forgets everything and then you put it on its tail.
Does it then become a slow bro? Yeah, does it become dumb again?
Wait. What happens if you put the
shoulder on a different body part?
What happens if it's on its leg? What if we take this shoulder
off and then we get some of the venom and we just inject venom
without the shelter on the slow king?
Does it stay a slow king or is it like just a really small a
really smart slow poke? What if we What if a shelter
bites a slow poke's head and it turns into a slow king, and then
another one bites its tail? Oh.
What happens then? I think.
I think, and I'm not 100% sure on this, I think it causes a
black hole. What?
How many, How many shelters can we add to this slow boy?
If we put one on like each, you know, like on the hand.
Leg, it's just a, it's just a bunch of shelters, just like,
it's like a, it's like a conglomerate of all these
shelters just feeding and poisoning.
I think I watched an animated show like that where it's just
like it's like a robot. Definitely interesting to think
about, but not worth experimenting on.
Shell formers slow pokes in disguise.
That'd be cool. That'd be a cool idea.
T-shirt. T-shirt.
I don't know, maybe because these are some great questions.
We have a lot of experimentation to do, so I'm gonna go ahead and
get some slow pokes and some shelters and we're gonna see
what happens. OK, let's not.
I can't. Let's do it.
No, we're doing this together. Yeah, we're gonna do this
together as a team. There we go.
Yeah, you're gonna, you're gonna learn how to do some research,
Corbin, If if I got anything to say about.
It Are you sure? Are you sure that you don't want
me just to do the research, professor?
We don't trust you. It's someone's gonna die or the
Pokémon's gonna die if you you're doing it yourself.
Yeah, No, I'm far too interested in this to let you handle it.
So we're going together. Yeah, at some point, maybe not
next, maybe not this week, maybe not next week, maybe the week
after that. I don't know, maybe depends on
when we have the time moving on to the Sinnoh region.
Oh I also I do want to say it would be a blessing to just have
like a switch that lets me forget things.
It would be so nice just. Just take take your hat off and
it was like, I don't remember anything anymore.
Forgot everything. What's the stick in my hands?
Oh forgot all my trauma you. Know.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. OK, moving on to the Sinner
region, being bitten by a shelter gave it intelligence
comparable to that of award-winning scientists.
Not regular scientists, only those that have won awards.
But like any award, and yet. We just and and yet we just keep
it in a Pokeball. We don't let it out to do
research. This this slow?
King. This slow king is as smart as a
scientist that got a participation trophy for soccer
when it when he was 10. It doesn't matter the award.
Yeah, this one has. This one has a Grammy.
Yeah. Listen, listen, if it's so
smart, how come I can't figure out how to get out of the
Pokeball? Just saying.
I'm just saying I hear some side ducks can get out of Pokeballs.
That's true. That's true.
I mean, maybe it wants to be in the Pokeball.
And we do know that Espion could put itself back into a Pokeball,
as we saw many weeks ago. Yeah, we did see that.
That's easy. Getting out is the hard part.
Right. OK, anybody can put themselves
in a Pokeball. Moving on, Moving on.
There's nothing new from the ANOVA region and nothing new
from the Callos region, so let's read some Alola Pokedex
injuries. Oh yeah.
A poison bite reacted with its system, blessing it with the
enhanced intellect of a genius. It has full control of its
psychic powers. Can do anything.
I don't believe Slow Slow broke does have full control of its
powers, so. It's still a psychic type
though, right? Which one slow bro?
Slow, bro. Yeah.
Yes, yes. It is.
Yeah, that's same. Same water psychic.
But just not the near the level of power that a slow king.
Well, intelligence I think. I think these I think slow bro
can take more hits than a than a slow king can.
I think they both have their ups and downs, but keep thinking on
that, Corbin, keep thinking on that.
A comparison is a is a good idea here.
Yeah, it's like, it's like here, right?
Like like I'm myself and the professor are a vast
intelligence that leads to the next generation and you are the
not intelligent next generation. But you could take a couple
hits. So like, you know, it bounces
well, right Professor? Wait, who can take a couple hits
me? No Kodo Corbin.
Corbin. Corbin not take a couple hits.
I'm I'm 10 and I weigh like 70 lbs when when a.
Strong wind blows. I get very worried about
Corbin's well-being. Me too but OK so he can't take
hits and is not a fast intelligence so wow that's the.
Kindest thing you've ever said, Mr. I guess, I guess, I guess
you don't really play a. Role All of the other aspects of
a slow bro, though, he's got them.
I really hope you stump your toe, Mr. Curtis and Herman
hurts. That's stump my toe, yes.
Stump is though. Sounds like he said a word
wrong. Get him, get him taken down.
Did you mean stub your toe? God, he's so dumb.
He's so dumb. No, I meant that I hope his toe
gets cut off and it's a. Stump.
Look who's calling the cup. Calling the bowl toasted this
time. My.
Favorite saying. That you've only said twice.
Who's calling the bowl? Wait, the bowl is calling the
cup toasted? I think that's the thing.
I don't know. I care.
He loves it so much he doesn't know it.
The cup, the cup. This cup is calling that bowl
toasted this time around. Professor, I am waving the white
flag. I make a request to stop being
bullied. I'm being called stupid and I I
am very sad. So that makes you feel sad, huh?
Not not motivated to not be stupid.
I mean. This is this is just for my
personal notes on teaching. I'm just trying to figure out
where where I went wrong. Calling your students stupid is
not motivational, believe it or not.
So it doesn't it doesn't entice them to not be stupid it.
Does not stop. It does not bring, it does not
bring forth joy in my mind. I'm going to get real smart.
That'll show him. No, no, no, it makes me want to
retreat and get Dumber. Wow.
Then then the bullying will continue.
OK, the next entry says this is again from Alola.
This Pokémon is so fame for its intellect that a proverb still
persists in some regions. When in doubt, ask Slow King.
I don't think that's the best option as we'll learn as going
forward. But I mean, it probably knows
the answer. Communicating that to you.
Not the easiest for it. I know some people are like, oh,
but Slow Kings can communicate perfectly well.
We'll see. We'll see.
I can write it down, I don't.
Know. Have you seen its hands?
They're like mittens. That's true.
Maybe you could just grab its nubs together and use a pencil
and just kind of do this sort of thing?
Maybe. All right, the next entry says.
It's constantly coming up with new ideas that would change the
world, but as soon as it hits, sure.
As soon as it hits upon a new idea, it forgets it.
Me too. What do you whoa whoa, I thought
it had an award-winning level intellect.
What do you mean it forget? I thought it only forgets it
when the thing when the shoulder comes off of its head.
Right, right you. Could be smart but be forgetful.
T-shirt. Yeah, T-shirt, and that's got me
on it. With like drool coming out of
your mouth, your eyes looking different directions.
Right, exactly. But I'm solving a really intense
math equation on the board, on the on the picture, on the
T-shirt. OK, but drool's coming out, you
know, you have the the contrast of intelligence.
And juxtaposition, if you will. The juxtaposition, the contrast,
if you will. All right, the next entry says.
It's called the Sage of the Sea. It engages in battles of wits
with Orangaru, but the result is usually a draw.
So Orangaru, I'm not very familiar with this Pokémon.
Is it also a psychic type? Is it also intelligent?
It is intelligent and it is a psychic type.
It's a normal psychic type. Nice.
OK. I believe it's very common in
the Alola region. Are we gonna learn about this
one soon? Define soon.
Within this semester of next class, Next class.
In Joto, no, no, we will not be learning about it in this in
this Joto semester of class. OK, maybe the whole in semester
then. Maybe.
Maybe if things go horribly awry.
OK. OK, so let's see here.
The next entries come to us from the Gala region.
It says, miraculously, this former Slowpokes latent
intelligence. That is a great way, by the way,
to talk about, you know, Pokémon that evolved from other Pokémon.
Former Slowpoke, this former Pikachu AKA Raichu.
Maybe that's what you should. Maybe you should call your
Litton. Still Litton.
Still Litton.
Or a future incineroar. You should call it that.
No. No, no, I don't know about that.
Never. Happened.
It's it's collar. It's collar has an Everestone in
it so it will never evolve. How about biscuit?
We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it.
All right, OK, so the next entry says, oh, wait, I hadn't
finished reading that entry. Miraculously, this former slow
Pokes latent intelligence was drawn out when Shelder poison
raced through its brain. Yep.
Yeah, we know. Right, Slow King can solve any
problem presented to it, but no one can understand a thing Slow
King says. So it's not a good communicator,
right? You can't have that in a
relationship, which is bad. That's like one of the most
important parts of science is communication.
And you know, if you can't communicate what you've
discovered, have you even really discovered it?
Like you. Can't progress society with your
ideas if you can't communicate them.
If a tree falls in a forest and nobody's around to hear it, am I
right guys? Yes.
You're so right, Professor. That wasn't a joke.
Why are you laughing? All right, there's no new
entries for Slow King in the Paltaya region, but let's go
ahead and see if there are any unique entries.
There's nothing to do from the Lentil region either.
All right, some unique entries. The first one comes to us from
Ash's Pokedex. It's a Slow King.
The Royal Pokémon Slow King possess great knowledge and
inspiration and are known for maintaining a level head in any
circumstances. Sure.
Yeah, right. Yeah, So not dim witted the
opposite, but it's still still level headed.
Not smooth brain. Wrinkle Brain.
Wrinkle. So many wrinkles.
Folds galore. That's a good T-shirt.
Folds galore. Slow king on it.
I don't think so. You.
Don't think so. I'm going to veto that one.
Hold on, let's go back to the word I was going to name.
How about flaps galore? About that one.
Brain flaps galore galore. Brain flaps galore.
T-shirt slow on it. Thank you.
Very much, I don't think so. I don't think that one's gonna
stick. This next entry comes to us from
Dawn Spoke. At X she's smarter than a slow
king. Wow, high praise.
Wow Slow King, the royal Pokémon.
It has tremendous intelligence and intuition.
No matter what the situation, it stays calm and collected.
Chill. Yep.
OK, just like my. Girl this last one comes to us
from Goes row Tom phone. It says slow king, the royal
Pokémon, a water and psychic type.
If a shoulder bites a slow poke's tail, slow poke evolves
into a slow bro. But if a shoulder bites a slow
poke's head, the slow poke evolves into Slow King with the
intelligence of a genius. A genius, genius, a genius.
A smart So before we move on, there is another form of slow
king so. There's a Unovan form, right?
No, in Galar there's a Galar form that.
Was close. Yes, there's a Galar form.
There's not Unovan form. Good guess though.
OK, so the first entries for the Gallerion Slow King, believe it
or not come to us from the gala region.
It says a combination of toxins and the shock of evolving has
increased shoulders intelligence to the point that it that that
shelter now controls Slow King. Oh, fully now.
Yeah, say what now? Yeah, so the shelter's in
charge. In fact, at that point I think I
should hear. I have AI did print out a
picture of. Gallerion.
Oh, did you? Oh, let me see.
Here, describe that for me and I think we'll see like kind of the
the shelter influence. OK, so it's very different now.
Most of its pink body, you know, the whole slowpoke lion had it
like the top half of it is now purple as evidence.
I guess that's the poison. That's just like infuse the top
half of its body. So it's eyes are completely
covered. And what it looks like in this
photo is that the eyes of the shelter are now its primary like
like mode of vision, if that makes sense.
So like the the entire shell. Vision Medium.
The, the shell of its head is turned purple.
There's like little purple spots on it.
The horns are purple. The the gem on it though, is
green, which is different. And like I said, it's the
shelter's eyes now, the slope, the Slow King's eyes are, are
are covered. And it's just these really very
nice eyes. Looks.
It's got a good level of eyeliner on them.
Yeah, very pretty, very pretty. Slow King did.
Its eyes, the mouth, and the shelter has really.
Chunky teeth. Really chunky teeth.
Yeah. It has teeth in it's it's, it's
covering like half of the mouth of the Slow King.
And then, you know that little like Cape looking thing that the
Slow King wears or whatever it is now.
The flaps, Yeah, the flaps around it, they're no longer red
in white. It's more of like a dark purple
and it's like a regular purple and a slightly darker purple.
Yeah, like a classic purple. Like a classic.
I would say a classic purple and then a slightly lighter purple.
I would say that as well, yes. And then the bottom half is
honestly the same. However, there is a little bit
of purple on the tip of its tail now too.
So I guess at some point the poison traveled to the top half
of the body and it skipped the bottom half and went right to
its tail. Yeah, so a little, a little drop
of poison fell on the tail. We'll drop a poison is all.
You need, I think, yeah. So I'm guessing from this we can
kind of guess that maybe the shelder in the Gala region are
like a little have a little bit more potent poison.
Yeah, for sure. And the and the Slowpoke in the
Gala region are just a little bit more.
Slow influenced a little bit more suggestible I.
Guess a little bit more stupid. Maybe.
OK, so the next entry for Gallerion, Sloking says while
chanting strange spells, this Pokémon combines its internal
toxins toxins with what it's eaten, creating strange potions.
That's pretty cool. OK.
In the Paldea region they also have some Gallerion Pokedex
Gallerion sloking entries. Interesting.
They say it administers there is its potions to weakened Pokémon.
It sees these potions are derived from poison and secreted
from the holes in Slow King's horns.
OK. Yeah, I think you can kind of
see like in the drawing, like at the top of the horn there,
there's like a little hole in it, OK, Because they like turn
Ted to the side maybe and drop. Some OK, gotcha.
So just like leaks that that that poison which is now
apparently a potion, it makes it out well.
It's potioning up with the other poisons it eats.
Well, yeah, no SO. What creates the potion?
The toxins with the stuff that it eats creates the potion,
leaks it out of its head, and then it gives it to other
weakness. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Wait. Yes.
So no, it sounds like, yeah, I guess it does make it in its
head. The way it talks about it makes
it sound like it's it like eats it and then throws it back up
and then and then mixes it with the toxins.
Oh so like it vomits up the what it eats and then it uses the
poison that excludes? Oh yeah, you know what?
You know what the the wording here does this say like the
potions that have been mixed with the poison and the things
that it's eaten Is is what's derived is is what's secreted
from the holes or the. Horns, right?
So it's an entirely internal process, right?
I knew I was right. Gold.
Star Yeah, you're right. You're right.
Excellent job. Thank you.
You do have a Corbin *, so we cannot give you a.
Yes, I'm sorry. You have a I'll.
I'll trade you here. Mr. Cruz.
You want a Corbin star? No, don't tell.
Okay, all right, fine. Keep that away.
Everyone's destined for that. I don't like that.
It burned his skin when it touched him briefly.
That was terrible. It's just a.
Cereal box cut as a star. It's fine.
I think it's what's associated, what it's associated with
that's. All right, be dramatic.
It's fine. Okay, the last entry here from
the Paldea region on Gallerian Slow King is it creates potions
by mixing toxins with the food it's eaten.
Not even Slow King itself knows what the effects the potions
will have. What effects the?
Toast. So it's just like randomly
mixing. It's like maybe this will do
something good for you. I don't know.
Yeah. I don't care.
It's not my body. I'm just on the head.
I'm a shelter. Do you think it like?
Do you think it like has like a little like glass bottle that it
pours the poison into? I doubt it.
It could, it could have the weak Pokémon just kind of like suckle
it straight from the horn hole. You mean like just like dip it
just dip it's head over kind of like a water fountain and then
it just like, you know. Suckle it straight from the the
horn hole, right? Right.
Yeah, the poison, the poison potion straight from the horn
hole. That's the best way to have it.
Yeah, I do have a unique Pokedex century.
It comes to us again from Ghost Rotom phone.
It's a sloking Galerian form the Hexpert Pokémon.
Hexpert. Yeah, Hexpert, a mix of poisons
and the shock of evolving can give Shelters Intellect a
massive upgrade. Once again, Shelters intellect,
not slowpost shelter. Yeah, right.
Right. In fact, the shelter can control
the Slow King. Kind of reminds me of the
Parasect a little bit. You know, it's like zombified
now. Yeah.
Oh, it is kind of zombified, isn't it?
Oh, that's a good. That's a good point.
Thank. You.
Yeah. It almost feels like this should
be like a Gallerian shelter, if you ask me.
Right. Yeah.
Because it's not really a slow king.
It's it's a shelter that's controlling.
With a with a slow slow bro attached underneath it.
Yeah, Yeah. That would have.
That would have been very interesting if that's the
direction that they went with this, but they didn't like if
they classified this as a shelter instead of a slow king.
I feel like that would be really cool.
Listen, we can't control nature. I know I can't.
Well, we can control. We can control how we classify
it. And unfortunately the folks over
in the Galois region was like this is a slow king, this is a
slow king. No, this is OK.
That does it for all the Pokedex entries on Slow King, Galerian
form included. So now I have an assignment for
you guys. Sure, as I normally do.
So this is a debate. We're doing a debate today.
OK. Yeah.
All right. Interesting.
Or I read what the debate is, what the topic is.
I do have we know we know the structure.
I think I'm not going to read that again.
You guys will figure it out as I go.
OK. But the debate rubric is we must
include information that or you must include information that
you learn in class. You must demonstrate an
understanding of the Pokémon genetic attributes and
abilities. You must build the argument
around proven facts about the topic Pokémon, not just I mean,
I guess you could include like lore that's been talked about
with the Pokémon, but you can't be like, I think it it has it is
makes funny jokes. Not not that you can't say that.
They can't say that yet. And then four, you must respond
to at least one of the opponent's arguments with a
legitimate counter argument. OK, now, so the way this starts
is I give, I will give out the debate topic first, then I'm
going to let Mr. Curtis decide if he wants to go first or
second. OK, then for whoever goes first,
whoever occurs decides goes first.
They get to decide if they will be for or against the topic.
All right. OK, very straightforward.
All right. Sorry.
I like it. I like.
It So Are you ready for the topic?
Ready for the topic? Give it to me.
The topic is that this is the better evolution for Slowpoke.
That's the topic. So, Mr. Curtis, would you like
to go first or second? That's such a good, such a good,
good prompt, you've got to say. Yeah, it's gonna, it's good.
It's gonna require knowledge on slow bro.
Too, So it's a doozy, yeah. Now, I do want you to focus on.
I do want you to focus on the not the Gallarian forms.
I believe there's a Gallarian form of slow bro as well.
But I, I, I just want the, you know, like non Gallarian forms,
the Cantonian forms I guess. Sure, sure, sure.
OK, You know what I'm I'm going to leave.
I'm going to go second. I'm going to leave the choice up
to Corbin. I will put that.
I'm going to put that in his, in his ball court, my ball.
Court, it's in your ball court, Corbin.
So would you like to be for or against the topic?
I am going to say that I'm against it.
I'm going to say that that this is this is not so what's the
opposite of it? It's the worst evolution path.
I mean it's. Only I mean I think it would be
that slow bro is the better evolutionary path.
OK, so that's where we're going with the argument being that
slow bro is the better evolutionary path.
And then I just have to prove that Slow King is the better
one. Is the.
King, if you will. It's the king, okay?
Interesting. So go ahead, go ahead, take your
time. This isn't the time assignment,
although we have already been here for three hours, for three
hours and like 4 or 10 minutes. So let's go ahead and make this
quick or take your time. I don't know.
I can't. I'm going back and forth on it.
I'm taking my time. Alright professor, give me just
a moment. Just moving along.
Stop singing core when you have to write your debate.
Sorry I'm I'm Beerby. OK, all right guy, I know it's
only been like 3 minutes, but are we done with the with our
debates yet? Are we all ready to go?
We are done, I am done. Ready.
Professor. OK, great, great.
I expect great things even though I only gave you 3 minutes
to work on this. OK, I can't remember.
Oh, Corbin, Corbin's going first.
That's right, Corbin. It's me.
Corbin, whenever you're ready, go ahead and give us your
opening statement. OK, hello everyone.
I am here to debate. First of all, thank you for
having us Professor, for this debate.
It is a good one. So my argument is to support the
idea that Slow Bro is the better evolution for Slowpoke and it's
not Slow King. I understand that the argument
of Slow King can be a good one because, you know, it's
intelligent and it unlocks its potential and all that stuff.
But I think there's more to it because what to me, what is a
better evolution is not just about power.
It's not just about intelligence.
It's also about the well-being of the Pokémon.
And just to put it simply, I don't think a slow king is in a
better, you know, state of well-being than a slow bro.
And I think the biggest reason is because the shelder on its
head has more control over it than the actual slow, you know,
Poke, we'll say it's Slowpoke or whatever, you know, slow Pokémon
is in it. It has the shoulder, has more
control than the actual Slowpoke slash, Slowbro itself, if that
makes sense. Being attached to the head, you
know, has that effect on it, where it's kind of more
zombified, so to speak. So I'll start with that is kind
of my opening statement. I think we'll just kind of start
there. I have a lot more I can say, but
I'm going to let Mr. Curtis do his thing first.
OK. Thank you, Corbin.
Mr. Curtis, if you could please go ahead and give us your
opening statement and then you can respond to one of Corbin's.
You can respond to Corbin's opening statement as well.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, Professor. Thank you, Corbin.
All right, so now I ask you, in what ways do I identify the the
the royal you, the royal, all the both of you.
Everybody. Everybody listening.
Corbin. Professor.
OK, hold on. Where was I?
Thank you, Corbin. Thank you, Professor Jacob.
Now I ask you, Danny. OK, Focused.
He. Hasn't even taken a swig from
his. That's why I was having such a
hard time. Hold on, let me just get a quick
map. He didn't chug any Maple syrup.
Yeah, good buddy. That's right.
That's what I needed, right? There goes down easy.
Oh, thank you. Thank you, Professor.
You knew what was coming. OK, Now I ask you me in what
ways do we identify Professor. Professor, please.
Sorry. Ignore me, ignore me.
In what ways do we identify the greatest among us, Someone who
is calm and mature and intelligent, someone who invests
their time and energy into solving the mysteries and the
problems of the world. Well, my well, this, my good
comrades in arms, is our friend, the one and only slow King.
Thank you very much. The Pokedex describes Slow King
as having an incredible intellect and intuition that
remains calm and collected in the face of the most fiercest of
times, and that it undertakes research in every day in an
effort to solve the mysteries of the world.
What more could you ask in a, in a, in a great Pokémon then what
you get on the tin here with Slow King?
Thank you very much. That's my opening statement.
Wow. OK, cool.
And now your response to Corbin's OK opening.
Statement so as like. Corbin, shut up.
Mr. Curtis's response to your to your state.
Give my response now. That's right.
I will say that, you know, sure,
maybe Slow King doesn't feel pain, but the Pokedex literally
says spacing out is all it does so so.
King or slow bro? Slow bro, slow bro, I'm sorry.
I can't tell. It's not very good debate.
Oh, I'm so sorry Corbin doesn't feel pain, but the Pokedex
literally says it's spacing out all the time is all that it
does. So, I mean, you know, what good
is the fact that I can't feel pain if all it's going to do is
be chilling on the side of the water?
Thank you very much. Sorry, maybe I spaced out here
for a second. Did Corbin mention the fact that
Slowbro doesn't feel pain? I have not mentioned that yet.
I was. Mine was a general opening
statement. I was going to dive into some of
the specifics. In a moment, yeah, there's a
response to to. Well, it was just it was he
didn't give me a lot to go off of.
So I just the beauty of it, I picked, I picked something that
slow bro is good at to then counter argue in anticipation of
what I thought his closing argument would be.
I mean, there wasn't really much for me to come respond to.
I mean, I'm outsmarted him. I mean, I'm the slow king.
OK, alright, she is. I don't know if I can if I can
count that. I mean, it's true, Slowbro
doesn't feel pain. I guess that's my fault.
It could be your fault. There isn't a lot to go off of.
I mean, it just doesn't say. I guess I, I guess I could give
that. What did you say exactly?
That that not feeling pain wasn't necessarily a good thing.
No, I mean it wasn't like Slowbro's main thing is that it
doesn't feel pain like it's it's boon and it's not necessarily
useful because it doesn't do anything.
Like it'd be one thing if Slowbro was motivated to be out
doing things and fighting for the betterment of humanity, but
it doesn't. It just lazes around all the
time is what the pokedex says. And so what's the point if you
can't feel pain if you're just going to lay around all the time
and not utilize that power? That's basically my counter
argument against slow bro. Even though Korba didn't really
touch on that, but he didn't really give me anything to go.
On he might. He might still do it.
Maybe, maybe, maybe Portia will
edit this around so he does talk about it before.
I doubt it. OK, Corbin, so now here's the
thing you have what you can do now is make is to make a
response to Mr. Curtis's I will opening statement and you make
your closing statement now. You got it.
OK, so as I kind of said in my opening statement, I don't think
intelligence is what determines the well-being of 1.
So let me ask you something. If you had a parasite that was
latched onto your body with a symbiotic relationship and it
took all of your nutrients and it poisoned you, but it made you
a little bit smarter, would you consider that better for you?
OK, so first of all, the fact that it is a Pokémon cursed with
knowledge the likes of which that could change the face of
the planet, but the fact that it's not able to communicate
that is not only frustrating. I would argue that being
blissfully unaware is better than having all that knowledge
and not being able to do anything with it because you
can't communicate it as it states in the Pokedex entries.
Also Mr. Curtis touched on preemptively that Slowbro is not
able to feel pain and what good is that if it just lies around?
I would argue that Slowbos slow Bros ability to not feel pain it
makes it more of an efficient fighter because it can kind of
just keep going. A couple other things I wanted
to mention in my closing statement.
Gallerian slow king is you know it's careless It it the the
shelter has taken over and it is wildly poisoning other Pokémon
giving them unpredictable potions left and right.
As the Gallerian entry state quote, not even slow king knows
the effects. I don't see Slowbro giving out a
bunch of random concoctions to other innocent Pokémon.
I think that's pretty dangerous and careless.
The shelter is just spreading its poison around because it's
in full control. Also being a slow bro keeps it
more physically fit. You're right, it does lay around
a lot, but because it can't use its tail for fishing, it's more
physically fit because it has to actually go catch its food
itself. And the last thing I will
mention is that you know, last I checked, Slow King didn't have
impregnable armor whereas Mega Slobro does.
It has impenetrable armor and Galerian Slobro is in complete
control as the opposite of Galerian Slow King.
Galerian Slow King is being controlled by the shoulder was
Galerian Slobro is now in complete control because the
shoulder has fainted as I stated in the Galerian entries.
And I would argue that being in full control of yourself is the
key to happiness. Being in control of your body is
more important than simply being smart but being subject to a
parasitic relationship of another Pokémon.
And that is where I will drop my microphone.
Thank. You OK?
Well, don't. Don't drop it.
Oh, it's not a real 1. OK, OK.
Perfect. Professor.
Professor, please. Professor, please.
Well now, here's the thing. Now, Mr. Curtis, now is your
time for closing statement. But this is where he made all of
his arguments. I can't respond to any of the.
Can't. That's a shame.
If you can work it into your closing statement then.
Okay, and also also professor, let me just let me just say, did
you not say to restrict our debating to the Cantonian slash
Jo Toen? Version I did.
I did make that request. Yes, you did make that request.
When you made all these arguments, you hit on that.
I was gonna hit on that after his opening statement was
largely. The shelter on the shelter on my
body fell off and I forgot so. It's a curse then your closing
statement. Any other any anything else?
Any I will be removing points. OK.
All right, All right, All right. All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Even if the Slow King can't
articulate well, we measure the greatness of a man not by his
literary accomplishments, but by the intention and the effort
displayed, which is what Slow King excels at.
Let us let us compare to the alternative.
While the King does research every day, the bro is described
by the very decks as living lazily by the sea, only
motivated when the shoulder bites down.
Slow King, on the other hand, as extraordinary power unlocked as
full control of its psychic powers, and is the source of all
wisdom to all is source of wisdom.
I'm sorry. And it's the source of all is.
Oh God, hold on. And it's the source of wisdom
to. All seeking answers, hence the
expression. When in doubt, ask the slow
king. Let's say it together when in.
Doubt. Ask the slow King.
I didn't hear. I didn't hear from Corbin.
One more time, please. When in.
Doubt Corbin. Corbin, please God, end this.
End this purgatory. Ask us.
Corbin. I will take points away if you
don't say it. That's not fair.
You can't. Ask.
Do it. I'm the professor.
No ask. No.
It's not a chant, no. OK.
All right. Chill with the.
Slow what I like. You still see your convictions,
Corbin? I like that.
I will. I will stick to my convictions.
I will not be persuaded by these idle threats.
Thank you. OK, that sets it.
OK, that's the end. That's the end.
OK, so I think the biggest thing that Corbin was talking about
was control, which again, a a regular slow king, a Jotoian
slow king is in control, all right.
In control. It's in control of it's like
abilities. It's control of it's body.
The Galerian slow king is the one that doesn't have control.
That's when the shelter is is in charge.
I might take points away from that cuz I did, I mean it, it
wasn't in the topic. I did kind of ask you to focus
mainly on on regular slow PO or slow bro and slow king.
But and, and also you kind of did make a little bit of a
mockery of this entire process, Corbin, by pretty much having
nothing in your opening statement.
Your opening statement, which is really supposed to be the main
body of your argument, was barren.
I think there was some in there. There's a little nuance in
there. You all you had is that sloking
is smarter Yes I. Said that, it's that being
intelligent is not simply the measure of of one's happiness
and well-being. That was my argument.
I guess fair enough, fair enough.
I might have to rework this rubric and do it based on like
the phases instead of you know, other things.
OK single said slow Bros are more physically fit.
I I guess so I mean. I don't know, lazing around on
the beach all day does not describe but.
It does. It does have to go swimming for
its food. It does have to swim SP.
Yeah, that is true. That is, that is a.
That's. That's a fairpoint.
And is it really better to have all this knowledge and not be
able to use it? I don't know.
OK, so Corbin, I'm going to I do like that you mentioned the mega
form. That's good.
And the fact that again, I even though I didn't ask for
Galerian. Slow bro or slow king?
You did mention that it gives out potions which you know Willy
nilly, which honestly it is a bad thing.
That's a good. That's terrible.
That is a good thing that you mentioned to Corbin.
So I'm gonna give you full points for the first two.
I am going to take off 2 points for the third part of the rubric
just because you went off book a little bit and you did respond
to Mr. Curtis's which was the kind of already response to
yours, which is interesting. So full points there. 3D Chess.
Mr. Curtis, she did very well. The only thing I have to say is
that one of your points is the fact that Slow King provides
info to all. I think one of the biggest
issues with Slow King is that it has a hard time communicating
what it learns and it forgets it when the the shell comes off.
So I'm going to take one point away from the second, the second
part of the rubric here, where it's like the understanding of
the Pokémon unique attributes and abilities.
But other than that, full marks. I'm not hearing a fair and
equitable, so I'm going to assume he is.
I just, I just, I don't know a professor.
He's so upset. I'm just, I'm just beside
myself. I'm just so upset because
because you just told him that he did a good job by mentioning
the Gallerian, slow king and slow bro stuff.
Would you specifically told us not to do it?
You specifically. Told us not to mention that he
lost two points from the from his.
He did worse than you did. And I lost credibility.
Yeah, yeah. I don't trust him anymore.
Still have St. credit, it's just.
Listen, if I take any more points the way, he's going to be
mad at me. OK, don't take any more, give it
to me. He's so upset with this.
What would you, what would you have done, Mr. Curtis?
Disqualify him immediately 0. Points.
Zero points to Corbin. No, no, no.
You got, you got to understand that there's more to this debate
than just being a debate. It's to check to see if you were
paying attention and understand information about the Pokémon
and he included information about the Pokémon.
That's what those first two bullet points are about.
The third one, third and the fourth one, they're really
about, you know, the debate part and he you need lost points on
that. I did OK, well do.
You say it. Are you going to?
Say it. Your debate, your debate for his
debate, has won me over, Professor, I suppose.
Therefore, my grading is. I suppose it's fair together.
Everyone, fair play. The music.
Play the music. Right now.
OK, that's gonna do it for today's lesson on Slow King.
Woo woo. Excellent job.
Does anybody know what Pokémon we're gonna be learning about
next week? Slow Queen.
No, it doesn't have anything to do with slowpoke or slow bro or
anything like that. Or slow.
Bro, we're done with the slows, are we?
Yeah, for now, actually, entirely, entirely with the
slows. Next week I think we're learning
about. I'm pretty sure it's Tyrannitor
this time, right? No, it's not Tyrannitor.
Sorry, Tyrannitor. OK, gotcha.
OK. Mr. Curtis, would you like to
guess Deciduite? Is it Deciduite?
Nope, it's not Deciduite. There is no there is no gusto in
his deciduite, I guess. So much, so much depression.
Any other guesses? Any other guesses before I just
say it? It's a ghost type, right?
It's is it a dust skull? No, no, no, that is a ghost type
though, so good guess Mr. Curtis one more.
Just want to throw one more out there more for your buddy.
Mom, are we doing Haunt? Are we doing Haunter?
We already did haunter. We did already do a haunter.
So no, we're not doing Haunter again.
But we could do it again. Do you wanna do it again?
Would that make you feel better? Would you like that?
No, really. No, no.
Well, next week we're learning about mischievous.
OK, that's a cool one. Yeah, it should be exciting.
I've been looking forward to this lesson, that's for sure.
I mean, I look forward to every lesson but this one.
That's I think this one will be fun.
I hope. I can't wait to be here in our
classroom and learning about Mischievous.
All right, so that's going to do it for today's lesson.
If you have any questions for me, the professor, you can send
a Gengar mail to wwopokemon@gmail.com.
We also have a bunch of other ways to get in contact with us
and a lot of other goodies that you can find in our link tree,
which is in the description below.
You can find a link to our Patreon, which has been, you
know, it's been a lot of fun lately.
I love, I love the Nuzlak you all you need is, you know, $1.00
and you'll get the Nuzlak episodes one or two weeks in
advance. That being said, and you could
also just watch the Neslock on our Neslock on our YouTube
channel. You could, which is also in the
link tree. Does anybody else have anything
they want to add? Any other stuff?
I mean, I guess we could go into more information on the Patreon.
We could, but I have a question. Are you providing the money for
the cookie party for next week? Because last I checked,
Professor, it is less than 200 and that's a big deal.
Yeah. I mean, it's just another
lesson. I don't know.
I don't think it's a big deal. You don't think so?
You don't. We don't have a party.
Did we wait? Did we have a cookie party for
episode or lessons? Oh my goodness, what am I saying
for less than 100? I don't think so.
Did we? Because that's are you more, are
you more persuaded to have one if we if I tell you we did or
did not have one for 100? That's that's a.
You're going to have to roll those dice, Corbin.
We did not have one, I'm pretty sure.
Well then, I mean we can't set a precedent now.
That's right. Well, we.
It's time for change. It's good to mix it up.
That's a good. That's a good point, professor.
I'll bring cookies. I'll do homemade cookies.
Next. All right, Maybe.
Hey, OK, how about this? We'll all bring cookies and
we'll see who's taste the best. Oh, I'm down.
Let's do it episode. We're not, we're not.
We're not even gonna. We're not even gonna talk about
Pokémon. We're just gonna.
Have No, no, we're gonna talk about mysteries, and we're gonna
learn all about mysteries. And maybe, maybe here and there,
we'll snack on some cookies. Some cookies down.
Yeah, let's do it. OK, alright, well, that's gonna
do it for today's lesson. So until next time class is
dismiss.
