[Cobra Commander had planned for this video to be a triumphant announcement of his new alliance with the Fuchsia City Gym. However, since that didn’t happen, any viewers will be greeted by Cobra screaming at the Gear. The background is partially obscured by one of the segments making up his Steelix’s body, but he’s definitely outside.]

I cannot believe thisssss! How dare they! How dare they laugh at me! Is this thing recording? Good! I would like all of you to watch what happens next! Burn thisss into your memory because thisss is what will eventually happen to everyone who dares make a mockery of Cobra Commander! Vilevole! Charge! Ram that building!

[That Steelix is moving, and even though he already announced the target, Cobra turns the camera to show that it’s on a collision course with the Fuchsia City Gym.]

Now! Blow that place to bits! Explosion!

[Once Steelix hits the building, it starts glowing and then…BOOM! The building’s clearly not blown to bits, but Cobra’s still going to consider it a job well done. He’ll just turn the camera back to himself and laugh before ending the feed.]

{OOC: Here’s the Gym attack that was mentioned here! Also for the most part, Cobra will be responding via audio since he doesn’t want anyone to see what direction he’s fleeing in.}

Imagine some unimpressed, slow clapping here. I'm too lazy to actually film it.

[Audio Forever]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Sssave you applause! I don't want to see it! Or hear it!

[text forever~]

[saxsongs]

I though you liked attention.

Isn't applause a good sign of a "good show".




Oh right, I said unimpressed.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Of course I like attention, but your nonssssense is not the kind I want! And I suggest you ssstop now before I choose to make an example out of you!

[saxsongs]

Ah, well, I wouldn't want that.

Though why did they even laugh at you in the first place?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

That's right, you don't! And why they chose to make sssuch a ssstupid mistake is none of your business!

[Not Here]

[Oh great, it's Cobra, probably about to do something mean to some Pokémon. Apollo would really like to start saying some things to him, but Lightning told him not to draw extra attention to himself, so he probably shouldn't say anything. But the Pokémon! Could he really stay quiet if...

...

...That's it? The building doesn't even look that badly damaged, and there don't seem to be any Pokémon who got caught up in that Explosion. He supposes that he could complain about making the Steelix use a move that causes it to faint, but as much as he doesn't like that those moves even exist, the Steelix will be okay after a stay at a Pokémon Center. It's easier to keep quiet on that topic than it is about some of the other things that he's seen the Rockets do, though he'd still like to say something at least.

But no, Cobra's Outrage hit a Steel-type and only lasted for two turns. Apollo is able to resist saying anything in the face of Cobra's mediocre display of villainy and ignores him. Better luck next time.]

[.....Cobra......]

Everything alright there, sir?

[video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Yes, there certainly was an attempt.]

Everything is fine now! Now that I've shown those people what happens when they dare laugh at me!

Well, I think I shall enjoy the coming warrant announcement within the hour or two.

[Locked Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Might be hard to see, but he's hiding in an alley at the moment. Cobra's not even sure if anyone's chasing him; this is just his default response after doing something like this.]

If you can manage to get a copy of it, ssssave it. I've been meaning to start a collection.

[Locked Video]

[licentious]

Of course. It'll go right in your little villainous scrapbook that details all of the precious nightmares you've created for others here at Johto. [ She seems surprisingly cool with his evasion of the police. She's kinda in a state of apathy at the moment. ]

[Locked Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Excellent! I look forward to reading thissss book once I return!

[He's completely serious about this. He expects a scrapbook.]

[ What just happened?! Quick! To the bullshit mobile! ]

Pardon me?

[Locked Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

What?

[Cobra's not sure what just happened.]

Pardon you for what?

[kingbowser]

Gwa ha ha ha! About time somebody tried to blow up one of those gyms. And here I was thinking I'd run outta entertainment.

[Look! He's even got popcorn.

He doesn't seem to care that it's not completely blown up.]

video

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Neither does Cobra.]

Good! I'm glad sssomeone enjoyed it, though I'm sure that the people inside did not!

[At least he thinks they didn't. Who would enjoy having a Steelix explode into their building?]

video

[kingbowser]

Who cares about those chumps? You'd think more people woulda jumped at the chance to abuse a move like Explosion.

[He's making a mental note to terrorize people with Roller in the future.]

video

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Exactly! Who cares, indeed!

[Certainly not Cobra, that's for sure.]

And yesss, you'd think they would. Use of it in this manner is hardly common, even among our ranks!

[As far as he knows anyway.]

video

[kingbowser]

It's a waste of power, if ya ask me! Why else would I send some of my brainwashed minions on a rampage around Goldenrod? Somebody's gotta take the initiative.

[Plus, it was fun to see people's reactions.]

[teablossom]

[Congrats, Commander. You have one properly astounded girl on the line.

If nothing else.]

-what was the point of that?

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

What do you mean what was the point of that? Wasn't it obvioussss?

audio

[teablossom]

No, it isn't- Why are you destroying that building? What prompted you?

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

What prompted me? You want to know what prompted me? They dared to make fun of me! That's what prompted me to do sssuch a thing!

audio

[teablossom]

-and how does destroying their building answer that?

Did they belittle your skills in demolition?
