005. Video/Action for Azalea Town

[leaveyourstarburning]

[Good evening, Johto! It...seems that your resident mouthpiece for Peace and Love has finally found something that's quite frankly annoying the living crap out of him. It's not terribly difficult to see why; he's got a little fluff of a Swablu in one arm, an Unfezant just barely in the shot from where it's standing on the ground nestling its face into his side, and both of them are doing whatever the avian equivalent of "wailing inconsolably" is.

And contrary to whatever Squirt believes, having a Chinchou clinging to his shoulders curiously doesn't seem to be helping matters any.

He kind of huffs a bit before addressing the 'Gear.]

Now, first of all, to the gentleman who poisoned the well in Azalea Town - and I use the term 'gentleman' very, very lightly in your circumstance: I don't care what your stance is on individual challenges. You will be battled eventually. Given your stance on pacifists, I would think you would take the chance for such an easy victory. Try to teach me a lesson, if you like, but I will fight you one day.

[...he's been down there trying to hold every Slowpoke but he cannot hold every Slowpoke, etc.]

Secondly. Should you have two creatures that can't stand each other, and releasing or permanently boxing one isn't an option, what would you recommend doing about it?

[Basically, his life, his choices, his...birds. ffs, his birds get along better with his bugs than they do each other.

orz]

Thank you for your time.

[For what it’s worth, Cobra Commander at least tried to articulate a proper response. Keyword being tried. Instead of anything like that, Zulf’s just getting a mix of actual words and hysterical laughter. Most of it being hysterical laughter.]

You use the word gentleman very lightly in my case?

[Cackling.]

And you want to fight…you want to fight me? Over Sssslowpokes?

[More cackling.]

Thisssss is hilarious!

[And even more cackling. ]

It seems you heard me.

[He is so mad.]

Are you going to take me up on it or not?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[He's calmed down enough to switch to video. Well, mostly. There's still the occasional snickering and snorting.]

I'm afraid I mussst decline. I have little reason to waste my time by dealing with the likes of you.

You don't have much of a choice at this point; it may not be now, but as I said, it'll happen eventually.

[It's not something he's proud of, but he gets things done when he has to; he's commanded armies to take out one person before. He sees no problem with going after someone personally.]

What do you mean I don't have a choice? Of course, I have a choice! And I choose no! Didn't you hear me the first time? I am not going to waste my time fighting ssssome charitable idiot who decides to spend his time caring for Slowpokes! I have much more important things to do!

[Like uh...hmm. Actually his schedule's pretty empty right now, but he's going to act like it's not.]

Besides! If it does happen eventually as you ssseem to misguidedly think it will, then the only thing that will happen is your defeat! Your defeat at the hands of Cobra!

Which you wouldn't see as a bad thing, now, would you? But your cowardice is implying that you think the outcome may be otherwise.

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Cowardice? You dare accuse me of cowardice?

[Video]

[leaveyourstarburning]

[...oh, well

that certainly is a reaction that just happened, hm]

This keeps happening with you today - I believe you heard me just fine.

You will pay for that! You will pay dearly! But there will be no battle! I will be the one to determine what the price is and how it is collected! Not you!
