File:Pokémon Learning League - Giving Back (Full Lesson)

The one and only "Girl with the Sack" invites a group of strangers to visit her sister in the hospital. Said strangers want to be sympathetic, but don't know what to do/say, so they call Quinn for advice. He proceeds to turn their casual visit into a day of hard work. Also, Brock uses "volunteering at the Pokémon Center" as an excuse to get close to Nurse Joy.

So wait, why doesn't Brock simp for sack girl?

Looks like the Learning League Lab itself continues to grow in scope. There's a park there now. Well, I guess this shouldn't be too surprising. They *did* have a garden and a basketball court there already, so why not put the two together? Also, we learn more about the Mission Guide's interests. Apparently Ada is a sports junkie. Wasn't that Quinn's thing? Anyways, Siara does construction work in her spare time. Wait, that seems more like a math related thing...wouldn't it make more sense to-nevermind I'm overthinking it lol. Finally, Lex throws concerts and "donates" the money to charity. Idk why but I have trouble believing that...but hey, at least it's something related to his interests.

In the Try section, Ash and friends hold their respective Pokémon hostage, and only release them under the condition that you answer the questions correctly. They're not kidding either. If you fail so badly that the answer has to get forced, they won't release their Pokémon. Damn, that's harsh. I do kinda like it better than just giving you a reward anyway, like most lessons do. Also, quite the number of PLL OC's in this one. Ms Sack is, of course, one of them, but there's also a few in the Apply section as well. They actually look like they had more effort put into them than say, Vanessa, who was flat as hell. Then again, the crew didn't care enough about them with proper pronouns and instead call them "IT," take that as you will 😬 Also, I tried to create my own ship, StarlightShipping (Meegan & Jenaro), but evidently, Quinn was not a fan.

You know what's really interesting about this one? This is the first episode we've covered to take us OUTSIDE the PLL site! That's right, the ending links to an actual children's charity (starlight.org). These guys are still around, and you can even find an older version of their site on the Wayback Machine! I couldn't just move on without covering this, but initially struggled with how to go about it. Since the end of the .swf links to it, it made sense to add a "Links" chapter immediately after. I also added music to this segment, since I figured 2+ minutes of silence and text would be awkward and boring. Kinda funny how after making so many of these videos, I'm still finding new ways to present them 🙂

Fun Fact: The music in the "Links" section was originally much faster, and had to be manually slowed down in order to match the tempo of the original song!
