69 | Private Text For Rockets

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[So instead of an audio tirade, there’s a short, simple text from Cobra Commander being sent out on the Rocket channel. After checking the PC this morning, he’s definitely not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.]

It seems that a number of Rockets are no longer with us. If any of you have recently received a Pokémon from one of them, please respond stating who it belonged to. I’m aware of at least four departures, and if there are more, it needs to be reported immediately.

[Now to try and not throw the PokéGear at something while he waits. Given that he’s already thrown an office chair, his helmet, and various papers around the room, there’s a good chance that the PokéGear’s next.]

Just who or what is bringing us here and sending us home? And do the executives of this organization have any information that they are not sharing with us?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I'm almost certain that they do. No successful organization has ever been completely open with its subordinates.

[At least Cobra's not. And he's not a hundred percent sure, but his sources seem to indicate that at times G.I. Joe's not.]

[faketime]

Yes, I am well aware.

[Because he's pretty sure Team Rocket is doing what he did to all those scientists he kidnapped back home. Only in this case, being trapped in another time/world is very real.]

And does that sit well with you? The possibility that the way to return home is right under your nose?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Not as much as it bothers others. In my world, I am minutes away from conquering the entire planet. Why should I hurry back when I have so much to do here first?

[Really now.]

How interesting. I would think that would make you even more eager to return home and finish what you started.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

If it were in any danger of going wrong, I would. But it's not. There's no way that my plan back home can fail.

[Dimitri's not sure if he should be impressed or facepalming right now.]

I take it that you have similar plans for this world? It would be quite difficult to maintain control of two different worlds, especially when you have no reliable way to travel between the two. Either way, you will be giving up one of them.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

You underestimate me. I guarantee that I will one day control both without losing either.
