[Private Video for Rockets]

[Cobra’s in his office again. Of particular interest might be the window in the background. The curtains are open and every so often a Shuppet drifts by it.

But that’s not what Cobra’s here to talk about today. Instead he’s angrily shaking a bunch of flyers in front of the camera. ]

I told you! I told you all! And no one listened to me! Months ago, I mentioned that I thought the Vermilion Gym Leader was up to ssssomething! And I was right! Look at thisss!

[He’ll show the flyers more carefully this time. One’s for the tournament, and the other is for the newly opened Lt. Surge's Survival Camp.]

I told you he was up to ssssomething, and look! In my absence, he’s opened a training camp! To train people! And there’s something in here about retired combat instructors! I sssaid he might’ve been a small part of a larger force and I was right! Absolutely right! Something needs to be done about thissss!

[Because this is all clearly more important than the ghost swarms and possessions.

That Shuppet…or perhaps it’s a different Shuppet floats by the camera as Cobra calms down slightly.]

Also, I suggest the rest of you pay close attention to the network. I have a very important announcement to make.

[End of Rocket Feed]

[When the public feed starts, the first thing that might be noticeable is that wherever Cobra is seems to have some fancy Shuppet print curtains on the outside of the windows.

…oh wait, they’re moving. Not that Cobra’s noticed this; he has much more important things on his mind.]

One million dollars. One million dollars to the person who finds the man who stole my chair.

[Said money may or may not be sheets of paper with Cobra’s face, good only for the day when he rules the world.]

Attached, you will find a list of aliases and identifying characteristics. Good luck.

[And sure enough, the information comes up on the screen shortly.

Name: ???
Aliases: El Zorua/The Fox
Location: Unknown, but prior information indicates they are familiar with the Cianwood/Olivine area
Identifying Characteristics: Male, Spanish accent, familiar with history, primarily American history
Reward: $1,000,000 for live capture and successful delivery to Cobra Commander ]

And just what do you think that will accomplish? The last I checked, a military force can't do much if there's a blizzard or thunderstorm hitting them all. [ It's easy to incapacitate soldiers with pokemon. If you want a demonstration, Lust will be happy to comply! ]

[ The Sneasel continues to crawl on the ceiling. ] Verhöhner. [ Lust's silky voice is immediately well received by Sneasel who flips off something with its middle claw before leaping seamlessly back onto the desk. ] Sneasel! [ A shuppet quickly follows its way in, chanting its name.

Get out of the way, Cobra. A battle is about to begin! ]

Good for you.

What?

[Cobra's scrambling around to the front of his desk now. The last thing he expected was for a Pokemon battle to break out in the office.]

How did that thing get in here? When did it get in here?

That's right! It is good for me! But I'll tell you who it's not good for.

[He'd let Ryner guess, but that would require shutting up for a second.]

El Zorua! That's who!

Whoever the hell that is.

They're the person that sssstole from me! Pay attention!

Ahh, aside from that. I'd never heard of this El Zorua guy before.

Because he was obvioussssly trying to conceal his identity!

If that's the case, must've been a pretty big slip-up for you to find it out.

It was lingering in the background, sir. I'm not sure if it's wild or if it's a spy. I taunted it to coax it into battle. I suggest checking this mysterious entity with your pokédex.

Now! Quick! Finte! [ Sneasel walks towards Shuppet with big, doe eyes. The Shuppet looks briefly, clearly mesmerized. Then Sneasel proceeds to deck Shuppet, causing it to twirl about in pain. ]

Oh, I agree. It certainly was. It's the kind of missstake I wouldn't be caught dead making. But it's impossible for them to fix it now! Ever!

That bad that not even you would do it, huh. That's just sad.

Good idea!

[He’ll check that out while Sneasel battles it. Shuppet, Ghost-Type, blah blah blah, stats Cobra doesn’t care about, wait.

That’s interesting.]

Solarissss! Don’t let your creature knock it out! I want to capture this one! The Pokedex says that it feeds off of negative emotions. Imagine how powerful ssssuch a creature would be in my hands!

Well, you practically have a target painted on your forehead.

I would never be ssstupid enough to do something like that! Never!

Makes me kind of wonder who would be.

The only one having a target painted on them at the moment is El Zorua! And I'm ssssure someone will take aim at it!

Someone under great sssstress! From the sound of it, he was confronting someone else, and didn't realize his Gear was on until it was too late!

Well, I guess if that's what happened, it's a little more understandable...

Exactly, they were unaware that the Gear was on, and I seized the opening that their ignorance provided!

If I ever find out who it was that they were ssspeaking with, I'll have to thank them.

All I can tell you is, wasn't me.

Ah, but sir, you're still able to capture a pokemon after it's knocked out. I've done it before. Don't worry though, I have just the idea for this.

[ The Shuppet uses spite. It screeches with an ear-wrecking high octave. ] Sneasel! Beat up! [ Sneasel flashes his way to it before smashing it in the face and grabbing its body to toss down on the ground. ]

If you wished to toss a ball at it, now would be the right time. [ However, Sneasel is grappling it in a way where if one's aim isn't exceptional, it'll hit him and not Shuppet instead. ]

That much is obviousssss! Who on earth would waste their time by confronting you?

[With a cackle, Cobra tosses a Pokeball, and...

...somehow manages to bonk Sneasel on the head with it.]

What? Get out of the way!

it's called a figure of speech. look it up.
it's not literal rain that's on your window.
jut some weird purple shit i can't make out what really is.
