[Today's video seems to be accidental in nature. The Gear's not near Cobra Commander, but he's visible in the shot, and doesn't seem to have any idea it's on. He's clearly yelling at someone, but whoever it is can't be seen in the frame.]

What do you mean it's missssing? I demand you check again! And keep checking until you find it! Do you have any idea what they'll do to me if they find out it's missing? Or any idea what I'll do to you? Because I guarantee that whatever Team Rocket does to me, I'll pay back to you tenfold!

[Yes, he apparently just outed himself as a Rocket to everyone watching the video. As if it wasn't already painfully obvious.]

Now go! Get out of here! And don't come back until you find it!

[Done with that, he turns around, notices the Pokegear, and just...stops, staring at it. If his expression were visible, he'd be looking horrified right now.]

What? How did this get here? Wraith, were you playing with my things again?

[And after picking up the Gear.]

This was recording? Sssso everyone saw....no! This is a complete disaster!

{OOC: So yeah, Cobra sure did out himself as a Rocket. And as to what's missing...it's nothing. There'll be an OOC post and another post later this month/early next month explaining more of what's going on, but basically he's up to no good again and trying to be sneakier about it. Keyword here is trying. And this was approved by both Sunny and Alex!}

(Cue huge gasp -not really, but her earlier suspicions are confirmed!- and narrowed eyes. He did try to set off some kind of rocket a few months back, right?)

Pokémon are always playing with things around here, but...!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Sssshut up! You can't prove anything! Not a ssssingle thing! That was taken out of context! And! And!

[He's got nothing here.]

And edited with the intent to slander me!

(Video)

[aheroofjustice]

(She can't help but grin. It's cute how he tries to wave it off.)

So, your own Pokémon edited the video before it went out over the Network? This mean you were once...captured by Team Rocket?

(She's pretty sure they don't 'capture' trainers specifically, unless otherwise has been said in past posts.)

(Video)

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

No, don't be ssstupid! Pokemon can't edit video! Ssssomeone else did it! One of my many enemies!

[Yes, that's it.]

Clearly they couldn't prove any ties between myself and that dastardly criminal organization, sssso they invented them!

(Video)

[aheroofjustice]

Does that include Psychic Pokémon? I'm sure if you took the time to teach them, they could edit video.

(She nods repeatedly; that's gotta be it.)

Ohhh, one of your enemies! I know how that feels; if I ever saw someone I knew from home I'd think they were stalking me too. And then created fake ties between me and that evil group.

[imthe_shit]

Team Rocket, huh...

[ voice ]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yessss!

[Wait.]

I mean no! No! I have nothing to do with Team Rocket!

[ voice ]

[imthe_shit]

You've just blown your cover wide open.

[ voice ]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I cannot believe thissss happened!

[No sense pretending then?]

I've maintained that cover for three years! Three years! And it all falls apart just like that!

[ voice ]

[imthe_shit]

How the hell did you survive three years?

[Slow]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Sssstop clapping! Stop it right now! This isn't something you should be applauding!

[Video]

[francia]

Whyever not? You are an endless source of good old slapstick entertainment.

[Arrogance and disdain: it is palpable.]

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

No, I'm not!

[He doesn't really have much of a comeback right now.]

[Video]

[francia]

[France makes an unflattering noise of disbelief.]

You can't even seem to keep your own house in order let alone find whatever you've gone and lost. You deserve whatever Team Rocket has coming to you for your ineptitude.

[Wow, France kind of woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.]

[islandshore]

...

[That would be some slow applause from Riku, followed by laughter.]

Okay, disregarding how I feel about you, your Pokémon deserves a gold star. Maybe a medal.

video

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

If thissss was my Pokemon's doing, then the only thing they deserve is punishment!

[Why is everyone applauding him? He didn't expect this.]

video

[islandshore]

Nah, they deserve a huge reward. After all, they just outed you as a Rocket and embarrassed you at the same time. That takes talent.

video

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

No! If this was one of my Pokemon, and I sssstill haven't conclusively proven that it was, what they deserve is to be released into the wild and hunted down for thissss traitorous act!

[Yeah, because that's a rational way of handling things.]

video

[islandshore]

You do realize that you're already pretty obvious, right? Anyone with a brain could've guessed you were a Rocket.

[He rolls his eyes, grinning.]

Now it's just written in bright, neon letters for all to see. All you need is a bulls-eye on your shirt, and you're set.

[saxsongs]

Oh no. You were a Team Rocket member?

[Wait a second...]

I'm pretty sure that was a secret that everyone knew.

audio

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

No it wasn't!

[It totally was.]

No could prove that I had anything to do with them!

audio

[saxsongs]

You don't need any proof when you're painfully obvious.

[Though here's one proof. Ren knows for sure since he was on the team. So ha.]

I hope your chair isn't missing again though.

audio | wow sorry about the typo in the last tag

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Why would it be misssssing again? What does that have to do with anything?

[Cobra can actually see it from here, but he'll see where this is going.]

audio | that's alright~

[saxsongs]

Well, you did say something was missing and you made quite a ruckus about it last time it was stolen.

[He just said it because it came to his mind. No second thoughts there.]

Then again, I guess Team Rocket wouldn't want your head on a plate if that was the case...
