cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 47

[After spending the past week, slumped over in his room unconscious, there were a few things that Cobra Commander should probably be concerned about. But those can wait, because he’d rather turn on his gear and cackle like a madman for the next few minutes over the network.]

Oh, thisss is truly the perfect thing to wake up to. Unlike before, when I was so rudely ripped away from taking back what was rightfully mine; thisss time there wasn’t anything like that! Meaning conquering Johto and making all of you miserable is now my number one priority! This place now has my complete and undivided attention! And that means-

[He stops there, not really feeling up to continuing his tirade at the moment. Spending a week without any sort of food, or any sort of water beyond what his Pokemon could get probably had something to do with that.]

Just think about what that means!

[The feed ends there, and about an hour later, another one starts on the Rocket channel. It’s short and straight to the point.]

I need to know if anything important happened during the past week. If it did, let me know! Immediately!

You're right! I won't be ruling anything! I'll be ruling everything! And if you get in my way, you'll sssuffer the consequences!

Wrongo--! The only thing you're going to be ruling is a jail cell, if you're lucky. If not, maybe a pile of dirt where you belong.

[oh wow was that a threat]

You're the one who's wrong! Ssssomeone would have to catch me first, and that's never going to happen!

[That sure sounded like a threat.]

And I suggest you watch your words carefully! Threaten me again and it will cost you dearly!

Why should I watch my words? You're the one going around making threats and declarations!

Because! Do you know what I did to the last person who dared to threaten me?

[Okay, maybe not the last person, or even the second to last. Might've been the seventh or eighth person. He'd have to consult his list which is somewhere on the other side of the room.]

I'd be happy to tell you if you haven't heard about it.

[on her end, Houka crosses her arms. She doesn't sound concerned.]

Sure. What did you do to them?

And don't lie! I'll know.

Oh, I wouldn't lie about something like thissss. I had some associates of mine build him a surprise. An explosive surprise! Once he opened the box it was sent it in, it blew up! Right in his face!

[He's laughing now because really, that is one of his biggest successes in two years.]

You... You...!

[... wait a minute.

blew up... in his face?

not... blew him up?

not even blew his face up?]

... What was it, some party trick?

That kind of joke isn't funny you know!

[... she's hoping she's not reading too much into his word choice, because villains aren't exactly the smartest bunch - at least in her experience.]

No, it wasn't a party trick! I put that idiot in the hospital! The Pokemon Center! They're the sssame thing here!

-- You what!?

You monster! I'll never forgive you for this!

[because that's what heroes always say at these times]

[Yeah, he's heard that before.]

Let me guess. You're going to tell me I won't get away with something like that again, and you're going to stop me if I try?

[He's also heard that one quite a bit in the last couple months.]
