Christopher, I swear to God, if I find out that you're somehow behind all of this I'm going to rip out all your hair and stuff a pillow with it! And THEN I'll stuff that pillow down your throat or into your favorite computer or whatever technical toy you actually hide your humane heart in and then I'll set that ON FIRE, DO YOU FUCKING GET ME
I DON'T CARE WHATEVER SICK GAME YOU PLAY WITH ME, BUT IF YOU DARE DRAG -OUR LITTLE BROTHER- INTO THIS, THEN I'LL END YOU, FAMILY OR NOT!!!
....and don't you huff at me with that smug mug of yours, I gd know where the caps lock button is, this is me screaming at you!! If I find out you or that bastard harmed even one hair of him I'll make sure you all pay!! For real this time!!

Ahem, does this work? [The youth being shown shifts awkwardly for a second before he seems to gather himself and smiles sheepishly at the camera.]
Hello there. This is IV. Some might know me as the Asia Champion, but if you don't that's quite alright ---- you definitely know me as the idiot who spammed those embarrassing texts on the whole network just earlier. For which I want to apologize.
[Another awkward smile that quickly turns sheepish as he shifts. Eventually, he gives in and runs a hand through his hair. It's obvious that he started with a good idea of what he wanted to say when he started making this post, but not that he's at it, he's lost not even two steps in. After another awkward pause, he pulls his shoulders back and faces the camera directly. No running away now.]
I let my fear and worry get the better of me when I made those posts, I’m very sorry for that. Usually my manners are way better.
[A deep, slightly shaky breath. Seems he hasn't got himself quite as well under control as he seems to want to appear.]
I was separated from my brother when we were both in pretty dire states. If you have seen a young boy of about 15 years, short, slightly curly red hair and green eyes, then please let me know. You might know him as either Michael or III, and he is generally very friendly and polite.
The other person I'm looking for is very tall and wears a dark cloak. Cold blue eyes and a constant mightier-than-you air about him. He likes to wear blue, while III prefers reds.
They are both family I'd like to find, or to at least know if they're doing alright. Any help you could give me finding them - or figuring out how I'm supposed to fight with nothing but a flopping fish for defense, this place really has a strange sense of humor - will be much appreciated. Thanks for lending me your time.
[The video cuts off with a hopeful wave.]

[IV frowns as he looks through the posts he has prepared while he was stuck in training hell with this so-called 'Team Rocket.' Feh, it figures that they'd peg him a 'bad one' even here, although the ones called evil here seem to be more of a bunch of sorry jokes than real threats to anybody.
His hand wanders idly to pet his pokemon partner as IV moves the screen to show his little act in 3 stages to it.]
What do you think? I think the first two look good, but something about the end of the third one doesn't feel right yet. It's too disjointed. Forced. Ugh, figuring out how to pander to total stranger nobodies just so that they'll feed me information and maybe some useful contacts is a pain! At least give me a clue whether I need to be more of a worried big brother or a sorry having mis-stepped idol!
.....
Fuck it, I’ll just put it out! It's bound to catch at least one goodhearted idiot to dupe anyway.... !
[People love helping, after all. Almost as much as they like being appreciated. It will be easy to pretend to be a new arrival and blend into the throng, with his worry about his siblings drawing the attention away from any overly curious questions about himself. Maybe he can even really get any information on his siblings. This will be child's play.
His nails bite into his palm.
IV failed because he was careless the last time. He let his emotions and need to be seen as valuable by others cloud his judgement. But this time will be different. It simply has to-!]
