"Whatever makes you happy," Donald added, not being one to judge anyone's fashion sense.

<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
Having already told Sandy and Anistar, Donald leaned in and whispered in Jeremy's ear, "I'm your fraternal twin brother conceived in vitro." He was bracing himself for Jeremy's reaction to that piece of shocking news.

Jeremy paused and froze at the news as he couldn't be one to begin believing what he was now being told. He was being told that in all his years and for all his sisters lives they were made to believe that they were the only ones. Now it was different. Jeremy now had a brother he never knew that he had.

Jeremy: You're my brother... But how could this be? Mom never mentioned of you. Lisa and Nicole had even asked once and all they were to be told was that it could be possible that there was another. However... never really thought about it for the fact that when i've came out with my being gay and into the same sex-oriented persuasion... it was believed that what was there... was all they'd ever know.

Sandy: But could it be possible that Donald is part of your family, Passion? It might be possible as maybe your mom knew about him and the fact that he wasn't around upset her to the point that where if she paid it no nevermind... it wouldn't hurt so much.

Anistar: I could see that being a possibility. Some families do tend to run into such circumstances like that or maybe similar sort of situations.

Jeremy: This means that you're my... you're my other half. The part that made me feel whole. My Twin.

Before long...

Jeremy: We should make over to the tournament. But... *Sighs* Donald. if you're my brother... then all i can say is that... welcome back to the family. I can only hope that mom will be in the right mind and be able to shed some light. The truth. I believe you. question is... will mom cop out and explain about you? OR will she just try to cover it up again?

That was a question that none knew. All they could do was press on and hope for the best of things to come...

Once back at the town square...



Jeremy: Here we are... again. *Grins*

What Donald knew was that he had the evidence to disprove Macie's propagandistic assertions if she did try to cover up the truth. He felt glad that Jeremy welcomed him back and with it he had someone he could truly call family; not that he didn't like his foster parents.

Once back at the town square...

Jeremy: Here we are... again. *Grins*

"I've already registered for the tournament," stated Donald, "If you want to compete, you should do the same if you haven't already." He had a feeling his Pokémon were itching for some competition and in a tournament setting he expected his opponents to be good.

Jeremy: *Looking at Sandy* Sandy, You, Me and Anistar are gonna enter. Simisear is gonna be one of the pokemon i'm gonna use.

Sandy: Same with me. Pansage is gonna be used by me. There's also Fearow. My Spearow Evolved. No idea how... and what got her to be able to Evolve like so fast as we haven't done much battling against any stray or wild pokemon.

Anistar: Dum dum dum... Roserade is gonna be in it. She'll be who i use.

Jeremy: Let's get to it.

Inside the tournament main hall...

Receptionist: *Spotting the crew* come forward. You here to register for the Jefferson city Pokemon Tournament?

Jeremy: Yes we are. Sandy and I. Anistar as well. And we're gonna be using two different pokemon.

Receptionist: Please present Trainer ID And Pokedex. I shall scan and record you into the computers.

A second later...

Lady at the booth: There you go. All set. Will you be pairing with someone?

Jeremy: My soulmate Sandy.

lady at the booth: Okay. You will be paired with Sandy. Please go to the waiting room and await for the lineup. It shall be available shortly.

Jeremy: Thank you. Come on Sandy. *To Donald* Hey, Brother... go ahead and make sure you've registered and they got you in the system. openings are filling up fast. We'll be in the waiting room. We'll save you a seat. Anistar... you're next to sign up. Good luck.

Jeremy and Sandy went to the waiting room to wait for the line-up to be posted on the video-screen...

Donald presented his Pokédex to the receptionist and opened its ID mode. "I'm Dexter, a Pokédex programmed by Professor Queen for Pokémon Trainer Donald Lightfoot of the town of San José, ID number 5116883612. My function is to provide Donald with information and advice regarding Pokémon and their training. If lost or stolen, I cannot be replaced."
"I registered online and I'm here to confirm my registration," stated Donald.

Inside the Waiting room...



Jeremy: This is it. We're here and this is now another tournament...

"You better believe it."

Jeremy was one to recognize the voice. It was very familiar...

Jeremy: I know that voice. *Turning around* ...



Cilan: Jeremy... It's good that i finally made it.

Jeremy: Cilan?! Wh-wh-what're you doing here? How did you get here?

Cilan: I flew here on my Braviary. I had to come find out... Right away.

Jeremy: Why... What's wrong? Where's Lisa and Nicole and the others?

Cilan: They've been abducted... By team Aqua. They're being held by ransom for some mysterious orb.

Jeremy: An Orb?

His blood had suddenly run cold in terror. What was he to do?

Donald pulled out his phone and did an Internet search, cross referencing Team Aqua and an orb. "He probably means the Blue Orb that is the key to awakening Kyogre," Donald chimed in, "Friend of yours?" He now had two puzzles to figure out: why would Teams Aqua and Magma ransom the Lightfoots for a non-monetary ransom, and why the Teams would want to terraform the Earth for their ends in the first place when such actions would result in an ecological catastrophe. He knew Team Magma wanted more land for urban development and he figured Team Aqua wanted the opposite: more ocean space.

Cilan: Hey there. I'm Cilan. I'm a pokemon Connoisseur. Also one of the Gym Leaders of the Straiton city Gym. From the Unova Region.

Jeremy: He's a friendly guy. He's hung with us since we found him or came across him while on the way to Buckner.

Sandy: If Team Aqua's got Lisa and Nicole... They're probably seeking to try and make a move to force someone's hand.

Cilan: They are tempting to force the hand of the one that Team Magma's already got in custody.

Anistar: That'd be who?

Jeremy: My mom. Cilan, The one who's chimed in just now is my brother. Donald Lightfoot. My discovered and reunited Twin brother.

Cilan: Your brother?

Jeremy: 'Fraid so. Clearly... from the data he's shown me... he shares the same DNA as i do. As my sisters do.

Cilan: The others are on their way over to this city now. They only sent me to give out the message and inform you of the situation.

Jeremy: Consider me informed...

https://youtu.be/aIxaP9mXiEc

The terror was starting and it was going to cloud over the entire land... soon. The Lightfoot family was being plucked. Jeremy was finding it become reality that he could end up being the only Lightfoot who didn't meet a fate that meant danger...

Danger was coming...

"It seems illogical that eco-terrorists would go after the Rising Star and her family for no apparent reason," Donald stated, feeling perplexed, but also excited that Chili and Cress were also coming to Jefferson City.

"It seems illogical that eco-terrorists would go after the Rising Star and her family for no apparent reason," Donald stated, feeling perplexed, but also excited that Chili and Cress were also coming to Jefferson City.

Cilan then mentioned about his brothers and said that they'd be only keeping tabs of the situation that is unfolding. But were not coming...

Jeremy: are the rest of the team coming. Alice, Curtis, Saphiroth...Darlene. as well as the others who were joining along?

Cilan: Yeah. They'll be here soon.

Anistar: I think that this is becoming a little too rough. Team Magma has the Rising Star captive. Team Aqua has Lisa and Nicole. What's next?

Sandy: What we need to do is try to think of what their endgame really is. It's got to be more than awakening those Legendary pokemon. Magma's about Groudon... Aqua's about Kyogre. They need the orbs to awaken them.

It was only at that moment where...

Their Pokedex's glowed and showed a clipping of the legendary pokemon...





Jeremy looked at the video and gasped...

Jeremy: Donald, those are the legendary pokemon. Those are what those teams are trying to awaken. What'll we do? We can't stop them... can we?

Anistar: We can't get too into it now... I think that the tournament's line-up is about to come on screen.

A Minute later...

Jeremy: *Looking at the Lineup* Uh... Oh dear... Sandy and I are going against the O'Shea's... Danny and Will O'Shea. They're said to be the Titans of Power. Specialty: Rock and Ice.

Sandy: Is that... A good combo?

Anistar: That's nothing. I'm a solo Match and i'm going against... Orville. Jimmy Orville. He's with the reputation of being Dark Water... Specialty: Water and dark. Hence the rep: Dark Water. Donald... who're you going up against? Anyone good?

Their minds were clearly split... they had two things to focus on. The Dilemma that was on the fast track of unfolding as the plot were to thicken... and the tournament. It was gonna be a very turbulent ride and it was only the beginning.

"I don't know," Donald answered, not familiar with the competitive scene in Missouri as well as the face his visage was next to on the tournament bracket, "The faces on there that are not us are unknown to me. Also, Sandy, Jeremy, I recommend you use Steel-type Pokémon if you have any."

His mind thought up one possible solution to the impending ecological disaster, but seeking out Rayquaza to calm Groudon and Kyogre down was an extremely long shot.

Jeremy: I think that we might have a Steel type pokemon... Drillbur. She's about to Evolve anyway and with the power she's got... it'll work out.

Sandy: Yeah... With Krokorok and Drillbur... It'll be a good combo.

P.A System: The Tournament matches are about to begin... Will Jeremy and Sandy please report to the Arena. Jeremy and Sandy... please report to the Arena.

Jeremy: We're first. Let's get out there.

Sandy: You bet.

Anistar: Give'em a thrill, you two.

Jeremy: Right. *Looking at Donald* We're gonna make this all work. It'll be a real ride.

Once out on the side of the Arena... Walking to the stage...

Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen... welcome to the Jefferson City Pokemon tournament. This Tournament is sure to show to you the fierce skill and unique strength. We have a roster of 18 teams and they are remarkable teams. 18 teams. 5 rounds... The finals... Where the winner takes the GRAND PRIZE!? But in order to get it... they have to win and prove their skill and show all what they can do." Let the BATTLES BEGIN!

The battle was about to begin via the Introductions...

Tournament Host: *Announcing* Ladies…. and Gentlemen. This is the 1st match of the first round... This 2 on 2 battle is scheduled for ONE FALL! The battle will go on till both pokemon on either side are defeated or unable to continue. Introducing the team from Metropolis, Kansas... The members consist of two teenage boys who are same gender oriented but... full of spirited passion. The first member of the team is a charming young youth with spirit and the drive to spread the world around him with Passion. Came out with being same gender oriented at the tender age of 12. Which was 3 years ago. Since then... he's become famous and developed a well aspiring name for himself to embellish the very sense of who he is and what he's about through and through... Give it up for the dream of Passion... The dawn of Light's kiss. Jeremy Kelly "PASSION KISS" LIGHTFOOT. His partner is the sole of light and multi-colored integrity... Light and color in any and all that is touched and embraced. His bubbling nature captivates him and those who know him valor and value it as their own as his energy is so strong. His same gender oriented zeal knows no bounds and is all for the color of life. Love and sensual romance. He's the sole mate to his best friend and the hearts are entwined by some love vow. Truer than any far and wide... Give it up for the Color of romance and the multi colored aura dream. The touch that leaves a kiss of multi colors on the souls of all he touches or crosses... Sandy "Rainbow KISS" WESTMOORE!

The crowd suddenly get to cheering and applauding as the sight of them. Cheering in appraisal.

Crowd: *Cheering* PASSION KISS! RAINBOW KISS! PASSION KISS! RAINBOW KISS! PASSION KISS! RAINBOW KISS! PASSION KISS! RAINBOW KISS! PASSION KISS! RAINBOW KISS! PASSION KISS! RAINBOW KISS! PASSION KISS!

Tournament Host: *Announcing*Their opponents...

In the Waiting room...

Anistar: Go get'em Passion Kiss. Rainbow Kiss. you guys got this...

Donald was with Anistar in the waiting room chanting along with the crowd. His Espeon and Zorua (in the guise of a Pom-Pom Style Oricorio) were cheering away as well. He knew if they put as much passion into their Pokémon battles as they do with their performances they were sure to win.

On the Stage...



Jeremy: *Getting into position* This is where the tournament begins. Sure hope that those two evil teams don't sire to come and crash the party.

Sandy: No worries. If they do... we'll deal with it like we've been doing. It's okay. However... this is where we are. We're about to battle against another trainer team. Let's focus on that.

Jeremy: Agreed.

On the opponents side...

Danny: *Looking at the one in a dress* Hello there, you're looking pretty fly.

Jeremy: *Hearing the comment* I'm a guy. Plus gay. So... don't try me. I am not available for the likes of your peeping eyes, Darling. I'm taken and you can have only the taste of Passion Kiss's assault in a can.

Will: Oh geez! That guy's serious. We heard about that guy. Passion Kiss is the son to the Rising Star. He's the son of a Superstar. Known to be pretty high strung at very emotional points. His passion is said to be unparalleled.

Danny: Do we really seek to test him?

Will: Not sure. Would you want to see what he can do?

Danny: We're here. we're all here to compete for a chance at that grand prize... We better get a good try in.

Referee: Trainers... ready?

...

Referee: Battle Begin!



Jeremy: *Calling out his pokemon* Drillbur, Darling... come on out and show your stuff.

Sandy: *Calling out his pokemon* Krokorok... Beauty comes with a rainbow and that rainbow calls you to battle. Come on out!

Seconds later...

"Drillbur"

"Krokorok"

Danny: Aggron, I summon you!

Will: Skarmory... take flight!

"Aggron"

"Skarmory"

Announcer: *Announcing* Both teams called out their pokemon of choice and are gearing up to make the first pre-emptive strike. Who's gonna take the front?

Jeremy: *Commanding his pokemon* Drillbur, Attack Aggron with Fury Cutter followed by a swing of Skull BASH! Complete the attack pattern with TOXIC!

Sandy: *Commanding his pokemon* Krokorok, Attack Skarmory with your Bite attack... follow it with Crunch and then crash it head on with THRASH! PUSH IT!

Announcer: Here we go... The first wave and it's starting with a flash...

"Jeremy, no!" Donald yelled at the screen when he heard Jeremy call Toxic against an Aggron.
"Jeremy, Toxic is ineffective on Steel-type Pokémon," Espeon stated to Jeremy through telepathy. Donald was still confident that Passion Kiss and Rainbow Kiss would pull off a win.

"Jeremy, no!" Donald yelled at the screen when he heard Jeremy call Toxic against an Aggron.
"Jeremy, Toxic is ineffective on Steel-type Pokémon," Espeon stated to Jeremy through telepathy. Donald was still confident that Passion Kiss and Rainbow Kiss would pull off a win.

It was then that the opponents sent for an attack of their own... Aggron used Iron Tail and then Double Edge. Which was a direct hit on Drillbur... Only thing that it did was pelt her and leave a welt... It angered Drillbur and lead for it to screech in fury...

But that wasn't all it was did...

Drillbur started to glow...

Drillbur: DRILLBUR!

Announcer: What's this... Jeremy's Drillbur is Evolving... It's growing...

A Moment later...

Excadrill: *Roaring in pride* Ex-ca-DRILL!

Pokedex: *Giving information* Excadrill-Subterrene Pokemon... It can help in tunnel construction. Its drill has evolved into steel strong enough to bore through iron plates. More than 300 feet below the surface, they build mazelike nests. Their activity can be destructive to subway tunnels. Forming a drill with its steel claws and head, it can bore through a steel plate, no matter how thick it is. Known as the Drill King, this Pokémon can tunnel through the terrain at speeds of over 90 mph.

Jeremy: Excadrill. It's awesome to meet you.

Excadrill: That makes two of us. *Winks* We got a battle to win. Let's win it.

Jeremy: You got it. *Commanding Excadrill* Excadrill, Hit Aggron hard with your Rapid Spin... followed by your Crush Claw... Finish it up with a little sneak trick... Attract.

Sandy: *Looking at Jeremy* Passion, Are you seriously trying to get your Excadrill to flirt with that Aggron? That Aggron might not be affected by it. This is a risk.

Jeremy: Maybe... but it's a means to shake things around. Sometimes a little bit of romantic gesture can immobilize the other side and get them to stop right in their tracks. If the other pokemon is attracted...it won't see reason to attack. It can't attack the object of it's heart.

Sandy: Good point. It'd be like battering itself around as well.

Jeremy: Precisely.

Would the maneuver be a success?

"What they're saying is indeed true, but it comes with a caveat," Donald's Espeon corroborated.
"Their strategy depends on the outcome of two coin flips," Donald elaborated.
"Exactly," Espeon agreed, "First flip is the Aggron's gender—they're not sexually dimorphic; and the second flip—should the first succeed—is whether the Aggron is too infatuated to attack."
"Research into the phenomenon has established a 50% probability hence the second coin flip," Donald added.
"And as Beldum would put it, the odds of two coins landing the exact way you call them is 50% times 50%, equalling 25%—the same probability of being stricken with paralysis after getting paralyzed," Espeon continued, "It's as Sandy stated: a risky strategy."
"Best we can do here is cheer them with as much passion as they're putting into their battle," Donald finished, "Espeon, Oricorio, cheer along. Passion and Rainbow! Go, go go!"
"Passion and Rainbow! Go, go, go!" the trio passionately cheered in unison.

Back on the Arena floor and on the stage...



Jeremy: *Looking at Sandy* I think that it might be time for a double attack.

Sandy: A double attack?

Jeremy: Yeah. A combined attack. Two attacks combined into one.

Sandy: A double dosage of whammy!

Jeremy: That's right.

Sandy: *Jeering* This is gonna be a real sweet move. Gotta love it!

Within the next few seconds...

Jeremy: *With Sandy* Excadrill... Krokorok... EARTHQUAKE X2!

Announcer: *Announcing* Whoa... Passion Kiss and Rainbow Kiss have just pressed for a team attack and combined attack... both pokemon capable of performing Earthquake and combining it into a double power. Double the intensity and strength.

As the current attack maneuver was in process of going...



Saphiroth: *Walking in with Darlene, Alice, Curtis and Doralee Harper with Ross Harper* Jeremy's here. On screen. He's battling against a team.



Doralee: *Whistles* Gee Willies alive! Jeremy and Sandy are really letting that team feel the bite of their loving kiss's.



Ross: Look at them go! Wow! *Cheering* Jeremy and Sandy... GO! GO GO GO!

Alice: They're gonna win it. They're determined. There's the passion within them that proves it.

The match Rolls on...

"That'll surely take out Aggron," said Donald, knowing that Aggron had a double weakness to Ground-type attacks and two such attacks were heading its way.
"They still have a Skarmory to deal with and it's immune to Ground-type attacks," Espeon added, "Unless Krokorok evolves and learns Smack Down on its own, they'll need to change their strategy."

It was not the end for the match... Aggron was down and after that attack as it took the impact at double the intensity and it was one brutal K.O.

Seconds later...

Referee: *Calling it* Trainer Danny's Aggron is unable to battle. Only Skarmory remains. This is now a two-on-one match... Trainers... Let the battle Continue. GO!

Jeremy: *Commanding his pokemon* Excadrill... we played tough on the match so far... but let's say we finish this... Hit it up with Style of your passion... Attack Skarmory with Drill Run followed by your crush Claw. End it with HYPER BEAM!

After the first two attacks...

Excadrill: *Launching the attack* Ex-ca-DRRRRRRIIIIILLLLL!

Announcer: *Reporting* WHOA! A Hyper Beam coming right from Excadrill... Head on collision and it's fast approaching Skarmory...

Will: Skarmory... Quick... GET THE HECK OUTTA THERE!

But...

It was too late...

The attack hit head on and knocked Skarmory down hard...

KABOOM! Boom! KABLAM!

After the smoke cleared...

Skarmory... was out!

Referee: *Calling it* Skarmory is unable to battle... Excadrill and Krokorok are the Winners!

Jeremy: YEAH!

Sandy: We Won. We won...

Excadrill and Krokorok both posed in victory for a very successful and triumphant battle...

"Holy smokes!" Donald exclaimed, "That is one strong Excadrill if a Hyper Beam did that much to a Skarmory." All the while Espeon and Zorua were cheering loudly at Jeremy and Sandy's victory, the latter dropping his Oricorio guise and jumping for joy.
