[Today we have a Rocket only video, showing Cobra Commander in a house on his giant snake throne that occasionally pops up in his videos. It doesn't appear to be the house he normally broadcasts from, so it appears that he had the chair moved to that island from the other day.]

Hello members of Team Rocket. Thissss is Cobra Commander speaking. The new emperor of Cobra Island, and as I've just recently heard, the newest Rocket Alpha.

[That's right. He's been promoted.]

And today I am here to present a very valuable opportunity for ssssome of you to redeem yourssselves in my eyes.

[Still bitter about the jail thing? Nope. Not him.]

I have four individuals I want dealt with. Three of these targets are open to any of you, and believe me, successsss will be handsomely rewarded. The remaining assignment is unfortunately ressstricted to those with a more proven track record if they are interested in taking it.

[And he could just send his new NPC goons after them, but he really does like providing work for everyone else.]

The first target is one Carter Blake. The idiot who recently appointed himssself leader of the world.

[Cobra sees no irony or hypocrisy here. None at all.]

I would like to ssssee someone shut his mouth. Permanently if it can be arranged. As well as pay for what he did to me in Cherrygrove. The sssecond is one Lightning Farron, who has recently returned to thissss world. Sssome of you may remember her being a problem in the past. Sssee that she does not become one again.

[Of course preemptively attacking someone might cause that problem in the first place.]

For the third, I unfortunately lack their name at the moment. The target is a red haired woman of few words who interfered with my plans in Cherrygrove. I would almossst count on her becoming a problem for the rest of us as well. And sssince no doubt at least one of you will complain about that dessscription being vague, she sssseemed to communicate via a Psychic Pokemon. Ssssurely something like that will make her identity easier to narrow down.

[And that's it, aside from target number four should anyone ask about that.]

{OOC: Everyone here's been listed with their player's permission! If you're taking a target, just get in contact with them for plotting and stuff like that!}

[...Okay, Jinnai doesn't like this guy. He hasn't liked him since the Valentine's thing and the fact that this guy had basically spammed him with Operation: Counter-Opposing Brazen Recruitment Attempt (C.O.B.R.A., if you will) and asked him to join a damn terrorist organization.

In addition to, you know, the damn terrorist organization he's already in and not too pleased about.

Just the same, he knows authority when he sees it, and he's also not opposed to the idea of the enemy's enemy being one's ally, and...well, there's someone who's trying to horn in on his territory from the look of it.]

Oi. Just so you're aware, it seems Blake's looking for allies; he seemed interested in my experience, when he found out I have some. I don't know if it's proper military experience or political experience that he's looking for, but either way he seems to know that he doesn't have control over this - not as much as he's claiming, anyway.

Why just shut his mouth? That's just going to make him a martyr. If you ask me, we should shut him down - more precisely, we should ensure he shuts himself down. Make him trip over his own hubris, and show him why it's a mistake for him to try to take over this world.

[That is...actually not a bad idea, ID number he doesn't recognize. Because like an idiot he made a note of the Project L.U.C.Y. ID and not the actual Pokegear ID.]

An excellent sssuggestion! But how would you ssssuggest accomplishing it?

[Ball's in your court, Jinnai. He's definitely willing to hand over destabilizing Blake's nonsense to you, but give him a plan of attack.]

[...does he...have to explain...

okay you know what he's dealing with a terrorist, he's just going to assume the guy's not exactly a genius here]

Get someone on our side close enough to him and make sure that things don't go anywhere near as he'd planned - that'd make the most sense. Undermine him and then backstab him. Simple.

[Well no, but since it is Jinnai's idea, Cobra would like to hear what it is and all. And that's about what he expected.]

I sssee. And are you volunteering to take on thissss important task? After all, it is your ssstrategy.

[Look, he's just saying if you want to go mess with Blake, you have his support.]

If you'll trust me with the task itself? Of course. After all, you'll find that my success rate with these sorts of things is quite high, my friend.

[My enemy's enemy, man.]

What I will find remains to be sssseen.

[...obviously? Why did Cobra even bother pointing that out?]

But yesss, the task is yours. See that you do not fail.
