Donald mulled over the Teams wanting another crack at awakening two of the Weather Trio and was glad that Jeremy and Sandy had gained some new friends willing to provide some extra help. "Who's calling you?" he asked in response to the phone ringing.

Donald mulled over the Teams wanting another crack at awakening two of the Weather Trio and was glad that Jeremy and Sandy had gained some new friends willing to provide some extra help. "Who's calling you?" he asked in response to the phone ringing.

Jeremy shrugged as he didn't know who it was that could be calling for him. But it was when he and Sandy went to check it out that he found out who it was...



Henry: *On Video phone* Hey Passion Kiss... the master of the Passionate kisses. *Seeing Sandy* Rainbow Kiss... The imperial ace with the rainbow charm from every blowing kiss. Henry Gruber... Your agent. It's a fantastic surprise that i got a hold of you and fast.

Jeremy: Okay. *Speaking through video screen on Video call* What's up, Henry?

Henry: Not much... but there is something that just came in and it's got the bells and whistles of a passion kiss embrace. I was on the phones all morning and seeing where to grab at some jubilant deals to hand you. One... Being a concert... In two days at the kiener plaza park... Looking at a good sighting of the gateway arch... the historical landmark known to be the gateway to the west.

Jeremy: You're kidding?! A concert? But... b-b-b-but... we're not prepped. We barely got here 6 hours ago and had been here for 6 hours waiting on the conditions of the wounded pokemon that we helped get help for.

Henry: I didn't know that... That there... is um... uh... a horse of a different color. However... the concert is in two days. You and Sandy are gonna need to get some traction behind you on that endeavor. I will be at the location within the next two hours and getting things set up. The Publicist and manager Mr. Andrews is gonna be within the area as well to set up some Publicity... and do press releases. It's coming fast and rolling on in.

Jeremy: Is a concert safe to hold during these times... There's been an uprising of reports of pokemon being wounded and attacked at random... Plus there are reports of The teams going further with their endgame of reawakening the legendary pokemon. Team aqua have abducted Lisa and Nicole...

Henry: They were Abducted?! *Gasps* Oh my dear god... This ain't good. Really not good. So... it's just you and the rest of the main group?

Sandy: It is. Sadly. It is. Jeremy is also with the throws of dealing with the reunion of a member of his family. One that was thought to have never been had. or forgotten. Never knew that there were or was another. However...

Sandy explains to Henry...

"Truth be told, Jeremy is my half 'brother'... "On the day my Eevee evolved, my foster parents dropped the bombshell that I had been adopted so after I got my Porygon-Z from a Silicon Valley corporation for cleaning up their systems as well as their house, so to speak, I started hacking away at geneology, adoption and DNA databases for why I was a Lightfoot and through triple checking the DNA and adoption databases I discovered that Macie—my biological mother—had conceived a fraternal twin in-vitro. I can only assume based on logic that the Lightfoots put me up for adoption and vowed never to tell another soul of my existence. but through the power of Facebook I had the opportunity to meet up face to face."

Henry: I see. Hmm... I'll have to give a report to Mr. Whittleson and inform him of the situation. He never had that figured. No one had. But if he is family... Then... he is gonna be part of the celebrity team. Who is he?

Jeremy motions for Donald to step forward and join the call...

"That would be me," answered Donald, stepping forward and ensuring he was seen by their agent, "I'm Donald Darren Lightfoot, the Digi-Enforcer and the technical expert of the family."

"That would be me," answered Donald, stepping forward and ensuring he was seen by their agent, "I'm Donald Darren Lightfoot, the Digi-Enforcer and the technical expert of the family."

Henry took a look at him and grinned...

Henry: You have that rather cocky... but confident and endearingly courageous look. I guess that the Rising Star kept you hidden for a while... to see when to play her ace in the hole of intelligence. You're a good handsome otherhalf of Passion Kiss. Not gay like he is... but you have that Jensen Ackles physique. Not bad... It's a charmed surprise to meet you. Since you're part of the family... You're gonna be a part of the Entourage of Jeremy's.

Jeremy: There are likely some events that are possibly gonna take place in town.

Sandy: Other than the concert... doubt it. But we can ask. Someone's got to know about what may be happening in town.

Darlene: Where do we begin?

Jeremy: Apparently... we start on heading to where the Concert is being held.

Sandy: I guess so.

As soon as the call ended...

Jeremy: Donald, I'm so sorry. It looks like i have celebrity obligations.

Sgt. Lerner: Should we get on over there?

From up in the air...



James: *Looking over at St. Louis* What a huge city. It's big.



Jessie: So far... there's been no trouble. Sure hope Jeremy's holding out okay. Been a few hours or so since we last seen him.

James: He's been traveling alot. He had to get a lot of distance in.

However... over the Radio...

Radio: In two days... come and feast your enjoying eyes upon the one and only Passion Kiss and Rainbow Kiss. In two days... they'll be there live. at the Kiener Plaza Park.

Word was spreading... question was... would it be something that would lure the evil dead over?

"It's perfectly fine," Donald replied, "The sergeant is right, we best get schlepping."

"It's perfectly fine," Donald replied, "The sergeant is right, we best get schlepping."

Darlene: Donald... he's not German. and Not all Germans speak like that. But you're right... it's best we get on going.

Sandy: *Walking onwards with the crew* You don't think that there'd be trouble... do you? Maybe... perhaps there could be a tournament or two... Or a Karaoke contest.

Curtis: Let's keep our ears and eyes open. Something will come.



Kiener Plaza park...

2 hours later...



Harrison: *Greeting Jeremy and Sandy* Jeremy... Sandy... The stage is being set up now. It's being put in place now and retrofitted. In about a few hours... The sound and video team are gonna be speaking with you two and getting your input on how things are gonna flow.



Melanie: *Smiles* I'll be there to confirm and see that the stage construction team connect and place things where they need to be and see that things are on cue. *Spotting Donald* Donald... Wh-what are you doing here in St. Louis?

Was there something going on? Wait and see...

Darlene: Donald... he's not German. and Not all Germans speak like that. But you're right... it's best we get on going.

"'Schlep' actually comes from Yiddish," Donald corrected.

Melanie: *Smiles* I'll be there to confirm and see that the stage construction team connect and place things where they need to be and see that things are on cue. *Spotting Donald* Donald... Wh-what are you doing here in St. Louis?

Was there something going on? Wait and see...

"I'm the family's technical expert," Donald answered, "I'm here to make sure everything works as it should."

<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>

"I'm the family's technical expert," Donald answered, "I'm here to make sure everything works as it should."

Melanie stopped at a pause for about a minute before gasping in shock...

Melanie: You're... *Gasps in shock* You're a part of the family? You're... a Lightfoot?

Jeremy: Surprised?

Melanie: Uh... very. Wow. But... i have him on my friend list on Facebook and we'd talk from time to time about things. He never made a mention of possibly being a Lightfoot or a possible son of the Rising Star. Macie... She only had 7 known kids in total and on record. I looked at all the records. Had to... because even though i am a stage manager... i also am a contentious hacker into Intel that should be rather... off-limits to the natural public. Anyway... i looked through the public legal records... They all said the same thing... from the top servers... Like the government such as the C.I.A. to the F.B.I... following it all the way down to the lowest servers and lower known sectors... Like the American legions and the Roots. The only children of hers are... Lisa Pidgetta Lightfoot, Nicole Eunha Lightfoot, Nicky Berry Lightfoot, Vanessa Gwenlyn Lightfoot, Saphiroth Casey Cornelius Lightfoot, Jeremy Kelly Lightfoot Aka. "Passion Kiss" and Madison Lightfoot. But there'd been no clear profound record of there being a Donald. Although... it may have never been updated and found that there may have been one that nobody counted on. So...

Sandy: Aren't public records screwy?

Curtis: You aren't just whistling dixie, bub.

Cilan: Maybe they weren't updated because... the records were perhaps lost after the last time records were put in and recorded and by time they got to the one that should have been placed in along with the others... that record was misplaced.

Darlene: things like that have happened.

Jeremy: Either way... Donald's a profound and prodigal son. He's my brother. one that i didn't know was out there... till he and I found each other and i saw the DNA results.

Sandy: As did i.

Anistar: I as well...

There was a whole lot of confusion. Perhaps Donald knew how to set the record straight...

"There was one place you didn't check and that was the adoption database," Donald stated, "Besides, #donaldnewlightfoot has been trending at a high rate on Twitter after the tournament at Jefferson City. To make a long story short: my adoptive parents dropped the bombshell on the day my Eevee evolved to an Espeon; Espeon in gratitude for the care I gave her rewired my mind to make me into a genius; and after my own searching, found out my biological mother was the famous Macie Lightfoot."

Melanie: That's true. I didn't stop to consider that. I guess that the adoption agency database... was the last bastion of possible places to look and search for anything that would stick out.

Harrison: I'm gonna be over by the east side handling the Press releases. Melanie, make sure that the stage crew is running as they should.

Melanie: You got it.

Simisear: *Hopping out into the open and running around* ...

Gurdurr: *Carrying some steel beams over to the one side of the stage for the stage crew to weld together for the frame of the stage*

Jeremy: Sandy and I'll be having to get ready to rehearse soon. Donald, Before that goes on... Let's check out the city and see if there's anything going on. Events that we could perhaps try for. Only because once we reach Mt. Vernon... We're gonna be camping at the Airport Park and from there it's gonna be a bee-line to Cleveland. We will having to train hard and deep for the first gym. It's the first gym... The Rock Gym. There's no telling as to what kind of pokemon the gym leader will use... as it's the Rock Gym. The Apache Gym Leader... Samuel Eastmoon... he's said to be with knowledge on the ways of the apache. There isn't any telling as to what he'll have planned.

Sandy: That's true. We could always use a Water pokemon to combat against his. Question is... do we have one?

Saphiroth: I have one...

Jeremy: That's right... Panpour.

preparations were about to get underwau...

"I have Brionne," Donald answered, "Grass, Fighting and Steel types are also strong against Rock, but Eastmoon would likely have counter strategies; and yes, I agree on checking out the local events, assuming there are any."

"I have Brionne," Donald answered, "Grass, Fighting and Steel types are also strong against Rock, but Eastmoon would likely have counter strategies; and yes, I agree on checking out the local events, assuming there are any."

Jeremy: I have a fighting type. Gurdurr. Steel type... Excadrill. She's also a ground type. Scyther is a bug type. But i can perhaps use that to advantage.

It was then where Jeremy, Sandy and Anistar walked to check out the city... At least all the spots surrounding the location of where the concert was said to be held. They asked Donald to accompany them as they knew of there were any talks of a tournament... they knew he'd be chomping at the bit for another tournament. Of course... Anistar was in partial herself for perhaps tending to another tournament herself. So... to her... it was just something to work with and enjoy.



Downtown West area of St. Louis, Missouri...

Jeremy: *Walking around* ...

Jeremy: I have a fighting type. Gurdurr. Steel type... Excadrill. She's also a ground type. Scyther is a bug type. But I can perhaps use that to advantage.

"You should be careful with Scyther," warned Donald, "They may have speed, but one hit would likely be enough to spell defeat as both of their types are weak to Rock attacks."

"Let's see…" said Donald as he searched the web and social media on his phone for any tournaments in the local area. He favored Facebook and Discord as they would likely have the 411.

Jeremy: You might have a good point. Rock types are known to be... well... versatile. However... I am more at peace with counting upon the charm. Because if i can use Charm or attract on the Gym Leader's pokemon... It will be pretty hard to tell if the one hit would work. Only because... if my pokemon that i use... are female and the gym leader's are male. Well... it would open it for a way in and hit where it hurts.

Sandy: That goes for me too... Besides... i don't count on luck alone. It's the wits and the determination as to see the whole thing through... that will be what counts most.

Anistar: *Nods* Steel types do have clout. Against Ground types. Fighting types... they may be a little rough. But if you know how to strike where there's an opening... all will work to an advantage.

Jeremy: *Suddenly putting on some powder and lipstick* Now... to look to see what's going on in town. Donald, did you find anything interesting going on in town?

There was some time to kill and since they were walking the town... or area... it was best to get some shot at seeing all that there was while they could at that current time.

"T-t-t-t-tournament found," Donald's phone chimed. He accessed what his Porygon-Z came up with.
"It turns out we got here at a good time as St. Louis is celebrating the Gateway to Pride and they're holding a Pokémon tournament at the MLS Stadium to celebrate the LGBT+ community after the concert you guys are performing," Donald stated.

Jeremy: They are? Hmm...

Sandy: That's exciting. Jeremy, shouldn't we participate in that? It'd be a perfect opportunity for us and we can get our pokemon Geodude and Machop to evolve.

Anistar: With the experience that you've given them... i would not doubt that they'd be willing and so capable to Evolve.

Jeremy: *Looking at Donald* What do you think? You think that we should go for it. It might put us behind on our travels.

Simisear: *Looking at the sights* Whoa... *Looking to the side suddenly and spotting a sign* Hey Jeremy... Look! There's a pokemon all you can eat contest going to be held.

Anistar: Where?

Sandy: *Walking over to read the sign* It says that it's somewhere within the Princeton Heights area of St. Louis... at a place called "Touch of gold"

Pansage: Should we go for that?

Anistar: That'd be awesome... But first... The Concert. When is that contest?

Simisear: 3 days from now.

There was a ton to consider. A lot to think about... thing was... Which would they attend to first?

"Is there anyone in our group who's good at scheduling?" Donald asked, knowing that a lot of work went into setting up a concert tour.

"Is there anyone in our group who's good at scheduling?" Donald asked, knowing that a lot of work went into setting up a concert tour.

Jeremy *Looking at the others and grins* There are some of us who are very proficient. Sandy and I are. Anistar is. Curtis is. A few others are as well... Problem is... time. The timing is usually always the problem. But then again... when exactly has it not been a issue?

Sandy: I myself am curious... Can you sing, Donald?

Anistar: That's a good interesting question. Donald, we know that you've been looking into your biological roots and might have foresaw that you came from a musical family... The Lightfoot Dreams Lisa and Nicole are dynamo's in the family. Jeremy is known as the feminine but charismatic Don Juan Aficionado with the deep tones and then the high pitched tones. All blending as one serenade. Macie is deemed as the love's divine light. So in all that... you must also have Musical talent in you all the same.

Simisear: She's got a point. If Donald is a Lightfoot... he's also a musical person also. In some way... he has a particular knack for musical talents... Whether it be singing or playing a musical instrument.



Sandy: We should go and check out a Karaoke place and try out a Karaoke machine. It's a best way to see if he can sing and there is musical potential within him lying dormant.

Anistar: Sounds like fun.

Jeremy: Donald, Brother... This concert... i might have a # where i might have you come up on stage and sing with me. But we need to know how good a singer you may be. See if you can. I believe that you can. Sandy is sure that you may have that talent... given that since you come from the same family as i do. It may stand to reason that the whole family is musical.

They had to let that ponder for a moment. there was no clear assumption as to whether or not... there was to be musical talent. But perhaps Donald James Lightfoot deep down had a rather virtuoso musical heart lying dormant within him deep down. Who would know... other than him. Or his family...

"Well, I can play the theremin and the keytar," Donald stated, "I don't know how well I can sing by comparison to your dulcet tones, but I'm willing to see how I compare." He remembered the jam sessions he had with his Brionne back when she was a Popplio.

Sandy: To the Karaoke shack... Let's find a place that has karaoke... fast.

Sandy's fearow came out suddenly and flew them all fast to the Lindenwood Park area of St. Louis and wound up at the Hideaway. It was known to Have Karaoke.

The Hideaway...

Inside...

Jeremy: *Walking over to a Karaoke machine and looking for a song to do* Donald... let's see what you got in singing.

Jeremy took a look at the song selections and found something... interesting...

Jeremy: Hmm... Burning Love. My mom did her version of this... It was on her 5th album.

Sandy: There are people close by and starting to notice.

Anistar: Good. Let's give a good time while here.

Jeremy: Right...

Seconds later...

Music began...

Jeremy: Donald... Follow my lead and watch me. You're gonna be doing one next. But just watch this...

He soon got to singing...

Jeremy: *Singing; stirring up an Audience* "Lord Almighty
Feel my temperature rising
Higher, higher
It's burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine

'Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

It's coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me
Feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord, have mercy
Burning the hole where I lay

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love

I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love"

The crowd cheered and the manager came and asked who he was... Jeremy let out... "Passion Kiss"

The Manager dubbed him: "Passion Kiss Casanova"...

Sandy: That... Was awesome. Jeremy, You are a dynamo. *Looking at Donald* See how it's done? Now... you give it a try. Let's see what you can fire up.

What would Donald Sing? Was there a dormant singer within?
