[It's been a while since Surge has made any broadcast. As a result, the communicator is none too happy. That buzzing sound all-too-familiar to most residents of Discedo can be heard as a the video turns on, showing its owner. He's sleeping rather calmly without a shirt on and even snoring a little. His trusted companions are sleeping peacefully next to him.]

ZZZZZAP--

[But instead of waking up and realizing what's going on, he just swats at the communicator lazily.]

Mhhh... Raichu, cut it out... I'll feed you [yaaaawn] when I... wake up.....

[Raichu cracks an eye open.] Chuuuu~? [And also goes back to sleep.]

[For a trainer of Electric-type Pokemon, the weak shock hardly means anything. So he just ignores it. Not as planned, scientists. Not as planned.]
