No! No! No! No! No!

[...that sure is Cobra Commander throwing a fit in what appears to be Azalea Town. Apparently he's not happy everything's back to normal now.]

I don't care if thissss happens all the time, this is unacceptable! Completely unacceptable! I want my command center back and I want it back now! I dissstinctly remember having one!

[ He remembers a building and pushing buttons. Something may have been launched. That's about it. He doesn't even remember where it was, which leads to his next demand.]

And directions to where it is! Because it certainly wasn't in thissss miserable place!

[Yup, for the record, he still hates Azalea Town. In fact...]

If anything, ssssomeone should raze thisss stupid town to the ground and replace it with something useful!

[He's not going to do that today though. No, instead he's probably going to fly out of here right away and go somewhere that doesn't inspire him to cause new acts of stupidity.]

I wouldn't be opposed to that, but I'd like them to let me finish getting my badge before they go along with it.

[He definitely heard Cobra's ranting from somewhere nearby, but he really can't be bothered to track the guy down when he was so courteous to upload his rant to the network too.]

I take it you have a grudge with this backwater town?

[Just go to Kanto and get their badges, Rideaux.]

A grudge? A grudge!?

[Wait, no, that's actually the right word for it.]

Yessss, you could say that I hold a grudge against this awful excuse for a town.

[Well that is an option...but he already has a badge from Johto. He can't just start something and not finish it!

Even if it means enduring this town.

But oh man, this could be good.]

Now I get that it's very easy to develop a strong dislike for this town just for it being...itself. Honestly, the least they could do is offer better alcohol so we can attempt to curb the distaste, but it turns out the alcohol only adds to the distaste.

But you're speaking like it kicked your puppy.

Of course it doesn't seem sssso bad to you! You weren't stationed here for an eternity!

[He will never forget nor get over that. Ever.]

I was! Therefore, I want nothing more than to ssssee this town and its sssstupid Slowpoke Well, no! Especially Ssssslowpoke Well! Wiped off the face of the earth!

[With a look of mild horror on his face, Rideaux decides this might be a good time to lock this conversation down. This is going to be a Rocket discussion, after all.]

You were stationed here? What rule in the book did you break to deserve such a punishment?

I didn't break any rule! In fact, I hadn't even been here long enough to break any sssssort of rule! Ssssuch tasks were considered ssstandard back then! Every Rocket received some sort of mandatory assignment and that was mine!

[And if the point wasn't clear enough, he'll continue.]

You should value the fact that the Team Rocket of today is vastly different from the one four years ago!

You have my deepest condolences, Commander.

[...He's not serious at all, of course. It's said more in a manner of, "haha, sucks to be you." It's not his problem that he came here when he did! But he definitely values it now, that's for sure.]

When exactly did the way things are run change? Was there a shift in management or did the higher-ups simply get lazy and couldn't be bothered to hand out actual assignments?

There's never been a visible change in management, but at ssssome point, they must've realized that thisss forced approach wasn't working. Perhaps given the constant departures, they realized that it was pointlesssss to assign a long term mission to someone who might not be there a day into it.

[He doesn't have a clue, he's just guessing on that one.]

That does make sense, actually.

[It's a perfectly valid guess!]

It also gives us an opportunity to show our creativity by creating our own assignments, which I can tell you seem to have no problem with.

[Yes, he certainly did see Cobra show that wall who's boss not too long ago.]

I've been mulling over a few of my own as I continue my thefts on the side.

[Er, yes. Creating their own assignments. That's totally what he's doing and he doesn't just basically go the hell with this and do whatever he wants in between signing invoices.

If he even bothers doing that anymore.]

Have you now? I certainly look forward to sssseeing whatever it is you're considering.

[And possibly throwing a fit about it depending on what it is.]

They're more on the subtle side than some of our members' demonstrations, but I have a feeling they will be very beneficial to the organization.

[And that's all he's gonna say on that! Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise!]

But my first order of business is getting the badge and getting out of this cesspit as soon as humanly possible. There's no chance of me enacting my plans here.

You're right about that. Ssspeaking from experience since I've terrorized this town repeatedly, there's little that can be accomplished from this place.
