[For the first time in almost a month, Cobra Commander is making a video broadcast for everyone in Johto to see. He’s hiding out in a room in Blackthorn, but has made sure to conceal anything that would pinpoint his whereabouts. The camera’s pointed at the room’s desk, specifically at the complete set of Johto badges sitting on top of it.]

And that makes eight. For being the last one, I expected more of a challenge, but I suppose that was too much to ask for. You would think that a Gym Leader would be prepared to deal with level 100 Pokémon, but apparently not.

[It had been a relatively close battle until Cobra Commander brought in some of his level 100 Pokémon to finish off Clair’s team. Having thirty levels on the opponent’s Pokémon provided an advantage he definitely wouldn’t have had otherwise.]

But my complete obliteration of Johto’s Gyms over the course of a year is hardly the only thing I want to talk about today.

[He’ll reposition the camera now so it’s pointing at his mask, which means he wants to address the audience.]

I take it you all ssstill remember the recent environmental disaster in Azalea Town?

[Which sounds way more impressive than just saying he poisoned the Slowpoke Well.]

Well, I have some information to reveal about that. A certain idiot decided to go help clean up the mess. I’m not sure who knows him, but he made a rather angry broadcast directed at me soon after it happened.

[Cobra pauses here. He wants to be as dramatic as possible with this one. He wants other people to think he’s responsible for this even though he’s not. ]

It was his last!

[He’ll just let that sink in before continuing.]

As some of you may have noticed, Zulf’s gear signal stopped being registered some time ago! And I assure you it is no coincidence that it happened after he decided to expose himself to the various toxins contaminating Sssslowpoke Well. No, it’s no coincidence at all! Merely a reminder of what my Pokémon, and by extension what I, Cobra Commander, am capable of! Let that be a lesson to those who get in my way!

[It is actually a coincidence, but Cobra’s not going to let that stop him from filling the rest of the video with maniacal laughter until it ends.]

{OOC: Olivine, Mahogany, and Blackthorn badges were all mod approved over the past month or so! And Cobra taking advantage of Zulf's disappearance was cleared with the mun!}

If you mean to claim responsibility for this person's death, you should be more forthright about it.

[Seriously, what is with humans and dancing around this kind of stuff. Not only is it annoying, it's remarkably nonthreatening.]

At no point did you directly state that you had killed him. It is all couched in useless implication and verbal misdirection.

[He tolerates this kind of thing from a few people. The Commander is not one of them.]

Boasts of STRONGNESS do little good unless they are understood.

[Of course, if you have to SAY how good you are...]

May I inquire as to why you chose to cull this person?

...is that all?

[Officially unimpressed with you, Commander. Implying he wasn't already, of course.]

Sufficient reason, I suppose. If not exceedingly petty.

If you proved yourself his superior, it was technically your right. If you do have such status, however, there is also the responsibility to use it wisely.

Otherwise, a system of hierarchy hardly makes sense.

Educating those of lower status, usually. It is the responsibility that comes with such STRONGNESS.

[Nobility always knows best, obviously.]

And punishing or culling lowbloods if they are persistently bothersome or insolent, but such incidences are a regrettable necessity at times.
