[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!}

And thank you, but it was really nothing. It was easy. These leaders were hardly even a challenge!
[Except for a close battle against Whitney a year ago. And a really long battle against Jasmine because type-advantages are not something Cobra Commander always plans for.]
[Private Video]
[That's actually not a jab or anything, just a statement.
...how...does he do small talk...]
[Private Video]
That's exactly right! It ssseems like they have no idea how to deal with sssomeone who's been here long enough to max out their Pokemon!
[Or at least some of them.]
They're complete pushovers if your Pokemon are strong enough!
[Private Video]
[He doesn't exactly have a lot of experience with that, but he trains a large amount of Ground-types; that alone is kind of a mess. He can't imagine specializing to that extent.]
Speaking of strength and training, however - how is that tremendous steelsnake working out for you?
[Private Video]
[Says the guy who's entire team was weak against Psychic-types for months after arriving in Johto.]
The Ssssteelix has been performing admirably so far. It's the weakest member of my team at the moment, but with enough time and effort, that will certainly change.
[Private Video]
Excellent. I've found that they train rather well, but that's just my personal experience; do let me know if you encounter any problems.
[Private Video]
[And those complaints will probably be very loud and full of angry hissing.]
