O-Okay, so I know everyone's been asking tons of questions already, but I gotta add another to the pile here.

[Looks like Hagakure's launching right into things this time, although his voice is coming off quite hollow and forlorn. Oh, and he's not even on camera either. Taking up the camera's view is his Elgyem, Grey. Grey stares curiously at the 'Gear at first, before glancing off toward where Hagakure's voice came from.]

Is it possible to just...straight-up die from one of those freaky Pokemon's bites?

'cause like, even though I stayed indoors to hide from 'em, one got into the house somehow and bit my hair and head! I was fine at first, but then I got super cold. I tried to curl up in bed and sleep it off, b-but it just got worse and when I woke up, I- I--!

[He sounds practically on the verge of tears. Meanwhile, Grey's been slowly edging the view toward a semi-transparent figure in the darkest corner of Hagakure's old bedroom. That figure seems to be Hagakure! He's not looking this way, but there's no mistaking that something is up with him.]

I think I died and came back a ghost! I- I keep going through things! I can't even hold my 'Gear anymore!

P-Please...please someone tell me this is all some kinda cruel joke! I just got back! I can't be dead in a world where death shouldn't even be a thing! Please!

[Just as Hagakure's about to totally lose it, he takes notice of Grey's filming of him. With ghostly, glowing reddish eyes, he stares wide-eyed at the camera like a deer in the headlights, before the feed suddenly cuts out. Looks like this was meant to just be audio post, but Grey saw the need to aid Hagakure by giving the network a full scope of the damage.]

[Residents of the Dangan House might hear a bit of wailing coming from Hagakure's room from time to time, which certainly doesn't sound like any of his Pokemon. He also hasn't come out of there since the transformation took effect.

Eventually though, he'll get desperate enough to offer a cry for help...in the most creepy way possible, of course. Ghostly voices out of nowhere isn't the best way to get a hold of someone, but again, he's not exactly thinking clearly right now.]

[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.]
