Olimar never really planned on testing his students on any of the creatures he had lectured straight out of his research but he had figured with the interest students displayed it would help get them more into other assignments and it did for the most part.

Manaphy had walked in, he seemed rather nervous though then again most students seemed rather uncomfortable. After all who wants to directly approach a teacher so bluntly?

Knowing he had to get going early to meet up with Falcon he had completely all his work and grading. He moved papers on his desk out of the way and smiled meekly, "Hello Manaphy, may I help you with something?"

"Hi sir!" Manaphy smiled in relief that the professor was not at all busy; he hated being rude. "I...just had a question about a couple of homework problems..."

Sitting on a chair across from Olimar's desk, he produced the homework paper that was partially filled out.

"I...wanted to know more about their social behavior? Uh...more like how they communicate and such. Their dietary habits are a bit confusing too..."

[leadthemalong]

"Oh, that's not not a problem at all! Thank you very much for taking your time for this!" Having him take his time to go over something he discovered, his very own work, left pride and a feeling of success.

Olimar scanned over Manaphy's papers. "Well Pikmin travel in groups you could say. As many as one hundred can be found together, they are very social creatures and rely on teamwork. As for their dietary habits...it's very intriguing indeed. Like plants the pikmin take in sunlight however they are capable of consuming various nectars."

Still with a smile, he was actually quite agitated earlier. Leon seemed to have been out of contact and he was all of of the transformation pills that he had been taking. So now he found himself stuck in his old alien form. Having to work at less than three feet wasn't easy.

"Is there anything else Manaphy? I hope I've been able to be of some help."

[manaphyofthesea]

"Um..."

Manaphy took the paper back from the little professor (he didn't care that the teacher was shorter since Manaphy himself was only a foot tall in Pokemon form) and furiously wrote down the answers that he just received. Then looking up again, he asked another question.

"This is the last one Mr. Olimar...uhm. Are they hermaprodites or have genders like us?"

[leadthemalong]

"Now this is an interesting subject manner I'm still trying to find out more myself...well, Pikmin produce asexually however they also carry the ability to spread pollen as flowers. It's safe to say that Pikmin do no have specific genders and can reproduce all on their own. However it appears that upon recent transformation studies show, Pikmin are by a default female. Why this is so isn't fully settled..."

He tilted his head, "Was that helpful Manaphy?"

[manaphyofthesea]

"Yes it was Mr. Olimar!" Manaphy smiled; it made more sense now to him now. "I think I get it sir mana~"

If Olimar were taller, Manaphy would have given him a handshake across the desk. But he decided not to and turned to leave...

"I...think I'll be going now...thank you!"
