[Hagakure's most recent post is taking place outside...on the roof of the Dangan House from the looks of things. He seems to be in deep thought, but not quite so much as the Meditite sitting beside him. It looks like nothing could stop that Pokemon from its meditation.
It should also be noted that he has significantly less hair than he did in his previous broadcast. Character development!! Or something. Or maybe the January heatwave just got to him. Either way, it'll probably look really weird for those who know him and haven't seen the change yet.
But with that sidebar over...]
Okay guys, I'm pretty sure we can all agree that the January heatwave was really freaky. We even had some guesses that maybe the end of the world was coming, but I didn't get any of those kinda vibes from Fates so it wasn't that.
But that's not all the weird weather that's been goin' on lately...
[He picks the 'Gear up to give a general view of the scenery. It's sunny and calm, with not as much snow around as you'd expect in February. The skyline of Goldenrod City can be seen not too far off from this view too.]
I dunno if you guys've noticed, but the weather's been the same for like a week. Same temps, same sunny sky, same everything! I dunno if that's creepier than nineties in the middle of January or what.
But I think I finally know what's goin' down here.
[Similar to his first post, he brings the 'Gear closer to his face and lowers his voice like he's trying to keep a secret, despite the fact that he's practically alone (like his Meditite's going to be listening in) and he's telling this to the entire network.]
Something's seriously up, you guys. I think someone's—I'd say it's the government, but does Johto even have one? Anyway, someone's found out a way to control the weather, either with a machine or a really powerful Pokemon or something, and they're like...testing it to see what it can do. Then they're gonna use it to manipulate the weather for their benefit! I bet they set the weather like this to lure out those weird Bloober things for them to catch en masse and sell on the Black Market!!
[The further he goes, the more animated and passionate he gets about this ridiculous conspiracy theory.]
And that's not all, oh no. That's just the beginning! Once they perfect the weather manipulation, they're gonna improve whatever they're using and figure out how to control our minds! They're gonna totally brainwash us to do their bidding!!
[Oh god he's legitimately serious about this, someone stop him.]
Sure, it all sounds like something you'd expect from a cartoon, but believe me when I say it's totally possible. I've done a lot of reading and researching back home, and seriously, you guys have no idea what groups with a lot of money and power can actually do.
[Finally finished with his rant, Hagakure takes a moment to inhale and catch his breath.]
So my point in all this is basically, next time something else really weird happens with the weather, remember what I said, 'kay? Maybe we should try to get to the bottom of this sometime before it gets seriously bad. Oh! And make sure you're always aware of yourself. You never know when you'll end up doing something you never thought you would due to brainwashing.
[He gives a nod of approval as if he feels he's proud of himself for that...whatever that was, then ends the feed there.]

But Hagakure's really interested in what Crocker had to say just now.]
Oh yeah, Team Rocket! They definitely fit the bill for an organization that could be behind this. But...they've already tried something like this before? What else d'you know about it?
[Crocker really seems to know about Team Rocket...hmm.]
[Locked]
Apparently so... The only other thing I know about that event last winter is that everyone thought the world was coming to an end!
But unfortunately I, haven't been able to access those files on the database!
[Denzel yells out in frustration and bangs in hands on the keyboard. Not thinking he's being more and more suspicious. The man changes to mumbling under his breath.]
And considering, how Team Rocket has been bombing lately, I wouldn't put it pass anyone in that organization to mind control people with a psychic - type Pokemon.
[Locked]
[Okay, he's kind of putting two and two together now.]
Yo, Crocker-chi, where do you get all your info on Team Rocket? You could really help out the anti-TR people with all that, y'know!
[Locked]
[Ah snap! The man appears nervous and is looking for the 'off' switch and begins to sound rather nervous.]
I've got to go. I still have lots of work to do after all.
WHERE'S THAT BUTTON!
[Which he repeatly presses off but doesn't seem to be working.]
DANG IT!
I- I just -
[Either way this wasn't going to end well he thinks, and there's a sweat drop on the man's forehead.]
You see where I come from - Thinking such things as using a psychic - type Pokemon to brainwash people comes easy.
[Which that was the truth as far as he knows Team Rocket isn't plotting that... yet. His tone suddenly switches over to wary as he does appear to watching the other conversations...]
Speaking of which, that guy that you're talking to that speaks like a - SNAKE!
...I'd listen to him if I where you.
[Crocker states rather ominously. Although, Crocker doesn't want this to be successful as a wary experission crosses his face and his heart - pitters patters as he had managed to avoid answering the question about Team Rocket for now. After all he can't tell Hagakure! What if the other man wouldn't want to be friends anymore?! And Hagakure, Crocker is very fond of because he feels they're on the same wavelenght or something. The man shallows hard and rubs his hand over his opposite wrist feeling the good luck charms from both Hagakure and Botan.]
[Locked]
[And what was all that about. Hagakure frowns a little and tilts his head to the side. The way Crocker was suddenly hard-pressed to escape the conversation when he brought up his knowledge of Team Rocket...]
Uh, dude...is there something you wanna tell me? I'm not gonna judge you or anything if that's what you're worried about.
[...Okay it really depends. There might still be judging, but maybe he won't be as harsh on a friend.]
[Locked]
And yes he is the 'real deal'.
[That and how Team Rocket tends to be.. It's besides the point Crocker figured out this in January. Crocker pauses and eyes Hagakure, should he take the chance? After all he said Denzel won't be judged, the man takes a breath.]
The reason I'm rather good with these kind of things out is because where I'm from -
Well, I'm not exactly the 'good guy'...
You're my friend Hagakure and I'm - I'm a Rocket!
[In which Crocker's loyalty is to his friends over the Rockets. Crocker reminds silent and holds his breath as his face twists.]
I'M NOT GOING TO STEAL YOUR POKEMON!
[Someone is apparently afraid of losing a friendship. That said Crocker is not beyond stealing Pokemon from those he doesn't have any friendship ties too.]
[Locked]
[But his worries about Cobra are soon forgotten because Crocker's reveal as a Rocket completely throws him off. Well, it's not exactly a surprise considering the signs, but he didn't really want to be right about that one either.]
Whoa, and you're not kidding about that either, huh...?
[He doesn't know how to take it at first. One of his friends is actually on the bad guy team? That's...actually similar to what happened back home. It wasn't a pleasant experience then, and it's not one now. But...maybe he's just reluctantly part of the organization? He seems pretty harmless, at least.
In the end, Hagakure stays true to his word and chooses not to judge.]
Well, I'm sure you've got your reasons for wanting to hang out with the bad guys, but as long as you're gonna steal my Pokemon or money, I'm cool with it. I won't tell anyone, dude.
[Locked]
THANK YOU!.. Thank you Hagakure.
[There's a small smirk on the one side of his face.] You're a real friend you know that?
I sort of just ended up in Team Rocket the first day I arrived here...
[Which leads into what Denzel had been trying to say before about being a bad guy at home.]
Don't worry about the threat, alright? I'll keep an ear open for any plans he may have about you.
[Locked]
Hey, that's what friends do, right? They trust each other.
[...right? He honestly didn't have any friends before attending Hope's Peak so he's still a little rusty at this friendship thing.
But Crocker willing to look out for Hagakure in regards to the Cobra fiasco reassures him that what he just said is true. That's a good display of trust going on, right?]
Thanks, Crocker-chi.
But...now I wonder why TR's bringing in not-bad guys into their organization...they aren't trying to brainwash people to the bad side, are they? D'you know anything about that, Crocker-chi?
[Because that's pretty scary to think about if it's true.]
Re: [Locked]
Crocker appears rather nervous when Hagakure asks, that's what friends do, right because he's still learning and states rather unsurely.]
Let's go with that.
[After a moment or two he does remember what Botan told Denzel when he told her and a few others to stay away from the bombings.]
Please, call me Mr. Crocker... Chi?
[What does that mean Hagakure because he's staring at the other in a vast state of bafflement.
There's a long, long pause of silence and there's a rather nervous smile creeping up on Denzel's face.]
FIDDLE STICKS!
[Does Crocker now have to explain, how back home he's megalomaniac?]
No, they didn't brainwash anyone.
[Do you hear that nervous laughing Hagakure?]
