"Thank you very much, St. Louis!" Donald replied, feeling a rush from the applause he, Sandy and Jeremy got from their performance.
"Thank you very much, St. Louis!" Donald replied, feeling a rush from the applause he, Sandy and Jeremy got from their performance.
"In that case, we present to you: yours truly, The Digi-Enforcer, with his jamming cover of Humility!" Donald introduced, setting his keytar to a pop synth mode and letting loose with the song's intro of staccatos.
♪ Calling the world from isolation
'Cause right now, that's the ball where we be chained

Shoot it true

I'm the lonely twin, the left hand
Reset myself and get back on track
I don't want this isolation
See the state I'm in now?

"Thank you very much, St. Louis!" Donald said to the crowd before taking a bow.
Donald's Espeon was scanning around for any Team Aqua or Magma members in the general venue. His Beldum was floating around and providing a boost in Espeon's scanning range.
"It would be wise to report these activities to the sergeant," Donald's Beldum suggested.
"I agree," Donald affirmed, "Though something has been troubling me about this whole thing."
"About why Team Aqua would send a battalion of grunts to a concert?" Espeon posed.
"Vengeful retaliation for their prisoners giving them the slip can't possibly be the only reason," Donald stated.
"There exists a probability of it being the case," Beldum countered.
"Could they have acquired the Blue Orb and are on the hunt for Kyogre?" Espeon asked.
"If that were the case it would be illogical to go after the Lightfoot family outside of retaliation or monetary gain," Donald answered, knowing that Team Magma would be spurred into fast activity if his Blue Orb hunch was right.
"Append our discussion to previous suggestion and request the sergeant's opinion and suggestion on further activities," Beldum suggested.
"Understood," Donald acknowledged.
"T-minus 17 m-m-m-m-minutes, mark," Porygon-Z counted.
"Prepare to execute Code: Cocked Pistol if the Team Aqua battalion breaches our defenses," Donald commanded.
"P-p-p-p-preparing to execute Code: Cocked Pistol," Porygon-Z acknowledged.
"Sergeant Lerner, I've just blocked access to all terminals connected to Team Aqua's network server with a full data wipe set to happen in just over sixteen minutes," Donald reported, "What's your take on this situation?"
"Understood, Sergeant," Donald acknowledged before departing back to his rehearsal area.
"T-minus 13 m-m-m-m-minutes, mark!" Porygon-Z counted down.
"The sergeant managed to call in some reinforcements to provide help with the grunt battalion," Donald informed his Pokémon, "All we need to do now is lay low and monitor their communications while Cyber-Klefki counts down to Cyber-Yveltal's launch. I hope they don't try any funny business with their server otherwise that time will halve."
"There is a high probability of that happening," Beldum stated.
"In the meantime, keep scanning for rogue elements both within and without," Donald ordered.
"Understood," Espeon acknowledged. Donald fired up his phone and monitored communications between their base and battalion.
<Snipped quote by James Davy>
That was when Jeremy got Sandy to come over and then the two of them revved up the beat for "Stop Crying your heart out"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZUsNJ-LQU
Jeremy: *Singing; W/Sandy as supporting backup vocal* "Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm
'Cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them someday
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Get up (get up)
Come on (come on)
Why're you scared? (I'm not scared)
You'll never change
What's been and gone

You'll see us someday
Just take what you need

And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out"
The Crowd paused and were in shock. However it didn't take them very much to suddenly erupt with satisfaction. Jeremy then bowed out and had it set up for another good #.
Sandy: *Speaking to the crowd* Here's another wonderous # from the heart of passion and the one who's got no desire to hold back the feelings of attraction and Romance... Here's Passion Kiss.
Jeremy then came walking out into view and Anistar joining with her guitar and within seconds... Anistar kicked it off with a beginning note to jam...
Seconds later...
The crowd started stomping their feet and got into it as Jeremy seconds later... got to singing...
Jeremy: *Singing* "I've followed my heart into the fire
Got burned, got broken down by desire
I've tried, I've tried but the smoke in my eyes
Left me blurry, blurry and blind
I've picked all the pieces up off the ground
I've burned all my fingers, but that's gone now
Got the glue in my hands and stickin' to the plan
Stickin' to the plan that says
I can do anything at all
I can do anything at all
This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keeping me down
Gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free
You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho
I was a girl caught under your thumb
But my stars gonna shine brighter than your sun
And I will reach so high, shoot so far
Gonna hit, gonna hit, hit every target
Make it count this time
I will make it count this time
This is my kiss goodbye
You can stand alone and watch me fly
'Cause nothing's keepin' me down
I'm gonna let it all up
Come on and say right now, right now, right now
This is my big hello
'Cause I'm here and never letting go
I can finally see, it's not just a dream
When you set it all free, all free, all free

You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho)
You set it all free
You set it all free"
The crowd was jeering in glee... they wanted more and were all for the singing. Jeremy had then got to doing another one...
Jeremy: *singing* "Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How could you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (you know he's too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
Don't cry (don't cry)"
However... Jeremy knew that in a moment he'd have to wrap it up...
This was where he thanked all the people in the audience for coming to enjoy the show and did one last # to wrap the Concert up...
Jeremy: *Singing* I'm all out of hope.
One more bad break
Could bring a fall.
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone.
It's easy to deceive.
It's easy to tease,
But hard to get release.
Sandy: *With Anistar; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face.
Jeremy: *Singing* I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive.
Now it makes me sad,
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you.
Sandy: *With Anistar; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace,
Your eyes without a face.
Jeremy: *Singing* When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas. Oh, the gigolo pool.
Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine,
Drinkin' it down, oh.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip,
Reading murder books, tryna stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you. You're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Now I close my eyes,
And I wonder why
I don't despise.
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new,
But it's gone from your eyes.
I'd better realise.
Sandy: *With Anistar; Harmonizing with Jeremy* Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Les yeux sans visage.
Eyes without a face.
Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste,
Your eyes without a face.
And now it's getting worse."
It took a moment for after the concert ended to get Jeremy and Sandy back into the game...
Jeremy: The concert was a total success. The people were just eating it all up.
Anistar: They sure were.
Lisa: *Checking the maps* Where do we go from here, Jeremy?
Nicole: Yeah... There's no plausible route that will guarantee us a straight shot to Cleveland...
Jeremy then got onto his phone and dug up some directions for a clear shot to Cleveland...

Sgt. Lerner: From there... take a route leading right for Cleveland. Either way... we're gonna wind up having to tussle with Team Aqua or Team Magma again somewhere along the way. There are likely battalions of them all over the place.
Anistar: He's got a point. We're gonna be creamed by them either way. So... How do we go about this? Any suggestions?
The time for making a traveling battle plan was now... With the concert being finally over... it was now back to the nitty gritty of the Pokemon Journeys...
"Understood, Sergeant," Donald acknowledged before departing back to his rehearsal area.
"T-minus 13 m-m-m-m-minutes, mark!" Porygon-Z counted down.
"The sergeant managed to call in some reinforcements to provide help with the grunt battalion," Donald informed his Pokémon, "All we need to do now is lay low and monitor their communications while Cyber-Klefki counts down to Cyber-Yveltal's launch. I hope they don't try any funny business with their server otherwise that time will halve."
"There is a high probability of that happening," Beldum stated.
"In the meantime, keep scanning for rogue elements both within and without," Donald ordered.
"Understood," Espeon acknowledged. Donald fired up his phone and monitored communications between their base and battalion.
<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
"Illegal operation d-d-d-d-detected in Cyber-Klefki," Porygon-Z updated, "T-minus three m-m-m-m-minutes and 45 seconds, mark."
"Shouldn't have done that, Team Aqua," Donald commented, listening to the concert.
<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
At that point, time ran out and Cyber-Yveltal uploaded disk images of all of Team Aqua's network to a remote server and zeroed out every bit of data across their server and terminals. "Operations c-c-c-c-complete," Porygon-Z stated.
"That'll take you offline for a while, Team Aqua," Donald commented, "Have fun rebuilding."
<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
"We detour via various back roads?" Donald suggested, after listening in on their travel discussion, "The direct routes will likely have more battalions hiding out than on the back roads. We can find them if we scout ahead with any bird of prey Pokémon we have."
Pidgetta: *Looking to Officially see Donald* Uh... Okay, What gives with the crew cut dish? Is he traveling with us too?
Jeremy: Of course... and he is also... related.
Pidgetta: Related?! To who? The heartthrob trio? The Rockafellers? *catching Sandy shaking his head no* What's going on?
Saphiroth: Aunt Pidgetta... There is something you're gonna need to know.
Simisear: *Coming towards Pidgetta* Don't be doubting the idea of Donald being with us. He's a member of the family.
Gurdurr: *Looking to Porygon* Hey Porygon... Think you can give the techno garb a rest a moment and fill the lady in about Donald?
Pansage: *Giggling*...
Something foretold that Pidgetta... Macie's Cousin and the Aunt to Jeremy, Lisa, Nicole and Saphiroth... was about to be in for a heck of a surprise. This was gonna be rather sweet. OR... Was it?
<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
"I am a f-f-f-f-fully-evolved Porygon-Z, not the basic form," Porygon-Z corrected Gurdurr before addressing Pidgetta, "To c-c-c-c-cut a long story short, Donald was Jeremy's fraternal twin brother conceived in-vitro and given up for adoption for reasons unknown. He found out through p-p-p-p-pulling his records from the California adoption database with my help and corroborating the data with his birth record that he was a biological son of Macie Lightfoot. In summary, you now have one more first c-c-c-c-cousin once removed than you thought you did and Donald is the family's computer expert."
"If you have issues with your computer, smartphone or social media profiles, I can fix them for you," said Donald, clarifying his Porygon-Z's summation, "Oh, and forgive my Porygon-Z's stuttering—it's a programming bug from the Dubious Disc used for their evolution."
"I am attached to my cousin Macie. More than normal. Why that is… It’s because she’s the closest thing that reminds me of my mother. Loving. Caring. Peace and devoted. Wise. Losing Macie for any reason would kill me. I lost my mother the other month and around the end of last year… I lost my father to a heart attack. I don’t have parents of my own. I have nobody. Macie’s the closest thing to a mothering aura that i have. In a cousin. She’s innocent. Sincere. Wise and very intelligent in her unique way. So… Next time you happen to court with her… Remember that. Macie is deeply important to me. I can’t lose her. So you have to understand… that when you and her are together… Anything that happens to her… worries me. Because losing her would truly kill me. I can’t handle it."
Gurdurr: Sorry about the Porygon Crack... I only know of one form of Porygon. I never had come across an Evolved form of a Porygon. Not before recent... like now. So... um... Any idea as to where the points of concern are to avoid coming across a encounter with any enemies?
Pidgetta then got to the point of her past... making certain for Donald to be up to speed...
Pidgetta flashed back...
"Holly: *Walking over to the Teenage girl* Hey there.
Girl: *Puffing* Hey. What’s up? something wrong?
Holly: No. Just going around taking pictures and stuff. I’m a photo Junkie. Love taking pictures.
Girl: Good for you. Picture taking is pretty cool. Anything of interest?
Holly: Not really. Just random things. But i tend to also capture photos of things that potentially help some reporters from time to time that work for the Daily Planet. I make 30 bucks a photo… Actually for a group of pics. Because i sell the pics i take to them. Ones that they need when the time comes and it’s a picture that they’re in need of. Just good honest business. Gotta have that in this day and age.
Girl: That’s an understatement. However i don’t think my Cousin would be too understanding. She’d be thinking it was extortion. She’s a sweet girl… but very cautions. All about doing the right thing. And fighting for what is right.
Holly: Really? *Curious* She sounds like a real awesome person. Who’s your cousin?
Girl: Well… here’s the thing. *Sighs while smoking* She over the last week had been called “The Rising Star.” Not sure what that’s about. Maybe she’s famous… Can’t tell. I have never seen her face to face as… I’m a Lightfoot by family bloodline. On her father’s side. My father Henry daniel Holmes… is Bobby Lightfoot’s brother. I’m the sole daughter of Henry Holmes. My mother… Maya teresa holmes is maiden named… Maya Teresa Laurelson. But until the other year… i never knew of my family roots. My father would never tell me as a few years ago… or 6 months before i was born… My father and Macie’s father had some type of stupid fight. Bullshit fight about something. Money most likely… but it was bad enough to where my father thought that Macie would be just like her father. So… i was to stay away. But just about 5 months ago… My father passed. He suffered a heart attack that took him down hard and swift. My mom’s since then went into a psych ward because of the loss. It was too great for her. So the last testament she did for me was emancipated me from her and told me: “Pidgetta, Your cousin, Macie is out there. Find her and be with her. She’s your cousin. I don’t care what issues your father had with her father and or her… She’s your cousin. She’s your blood. I know that i won’t be around much as this grief is killing me and i’ll die inside the Psych ward. I know it. But no matter what comes…. Know that i love you… and Tell Macie that her aunt Maya loves her. Despite of the bull fight that was between her father and Uncle. I love her just as well.” So… i got gathered my things and went on the road. With all i owned. And yes… My pack of smokes. Yeah. I smoke. But it’s only one every so often… like one a week to mellow out. Because of the nerves. However… i’m looking into getting myself into drinking Herbal tea or chamomile. better regimen…
Holly: So… Your cousin… Your cousin is Macie?
Girl: You got it. And in case you didn’t gather my name. It’s indeed… Pidgetta. Pidgetta Gerald Holmes (Lightfoot)
Holly: Wow. How long were you on the road looking for her?
Pidgetta: Longer than what i intended. But i never gave up. I just recently learned that she was in this city and then when i heard that Radio Broadcast earlier on in the day… I knew… i knew that i was finally in the right place. The Right city. To find her.
Holly: Wow… So… you’re like all alone here. and are searching for her?
Pidgetta: I know she’s around. I have to find her. She’s the only family i got left. Besides her parents who may have a shit fest if they saw me. But if Uncle Bobby has any care about his brother… he’ll at least acknowledge me.
Holly: Pidgetta… I uh… i don’t think you caught the news of Macie yet. She’s… She’s not with them anymore. Since last year… Very early December of last year.
Pidgetta: Come again… She’s not with them?
Holly: No. She’s Emancipated from them. But has kept the last name and won’t rid herself of it. But… her father now… is a Cleaner… Hitman named Frank Holden.
Pidgetta: I see… I’ll have to search him out. Where is he?
Holly: Metropolis Getaway arms…
Pidgetta: I’ll be sure to head over there. Thanks.
Holly: Anytime. I have to get going. Pictures to take and people to see. But for what its worth… I hope that you find the one you’re looking for and you two reunite again…
Pidgetta: Thanks. *Winks*”
Pidgetta: *Voice-Over* There's more... For you see... it was the moment that i reunited with Macie that things really came to the surface...
"
Pidgetta: *Calling over to the girl that she was related to* Cousin?!
Macie: *Looking to the side and seeing the teenage girl; Recognizing her from the picture she saw online* Pidgetta?!
Pidgetta: Yeah.

Pidgetta: *Running over to Macie* Cousin…
Macie: Pidgetta, Oh my god!
Pidgetta: *in contact with her cousin and hugging her* Hey girl… It’s so great to meet you again. Reunite again.
Macie: I don’t get it… How did you get here? How did you know i was here?
Pidgetta: It’s called bloodlines, cousin. I would always find a way somehow. Plus that you’re the one who’s been texting me secretly. As i was also texting too. We kept in touch that way. Emailed too. And this moment ended the last few weeks of perpetual hell. I felt like crap for a long time as i was on the hunt for you. Searching for you. Knowing that you were to be my only family left.
Macie: What about your mom and dad? My Uncle Henry.
Pidgetta: He’s dead. He died 5 months ago. My mom’s in the psych ward. I’m emancipated and since then… i’ve dealt with the last 4 months in total hell. What hurts is that your dad… My Uncle Bobby didn’t even attend the funeral. to pay respects. I know for shit that they had their issues and they were going around being little brats in a hissy fit contest. See who can hold a grudge the longest. The fact is that he didn’t and he’s gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life. You never came either. But Macie… I don’t blame you. You couldn’t have known the truth behind what happened as your father Bobby was clearly too damn stupid and oblivious to tell you. You sure could have asked. Although he’d never say. So… i blame him. Your mom’s cool though. She was the only one that kept things neutral. Or tried to. But i won’t forgive your father… Biological one of course. I spent the last few weeks of the 4 months of hell making my way over to find you. I stopped at the place in Sheltered Shrubs and was told by some blonde girl… Courtney… that you were here in Metropolis. So… i came here. It took me forever to get here… But i’m here for you, Cousin. My father and your father fought and tried to keep us apart due to some fight. But it’s time that we reunited. We’re family. No matter what. The past is past and it’s time that we were reunited. *Smiles* You know. I happen to consider you pretty close to me. Strange, isn’t it?
Macie: It sure is strange. What i’d truly like to know is that… how did you find out about me since our parents happened to have some
sort of fight all these years ago? They kept you and me a secret all our lives, Pidgetta. I was born after you were… a year after you. I was 5 years old when i first asked about having relatives. My parents… Your Aunt and Uncle… wouldn’t tell me. They would not even speak of you. because if were to know of you… it’d bring back in the brother to my father who’s your Uncle. And because of said fight… they didn’t want to chance it.
Pidgetta: Parents can be such dicks at times. And i should know. My dad and I didn’t have that much a good relationship. It was rather strained and we never would agree on hardly anything. But it was life. It sucks. But it’s life.
Macie: I know. I got a new dad. He’s a cleaner. Hitman. But he happens to love me.
Pidgetta: I know. I was told that by some girl… Someone who is just photo crazed.
Macie: *Realizing who it was that her cousin was referring to* I think that i know.
Pidgetta: It’s okay though. It’s fine. I actually liked being told things like that. Knowing that someone related to me was getting… a better life.
Macie: Better than some… I’d guess.
Pidgetta: True. But sometimes… in life, things happen that aren’t always what you’d expect. But you come to learn that sometimes you take what you can get."
Pidgetta: *Voice-over* Later that day...
"https://youtu.be/H1W2UddURXI
Macie: *Smiles* It’s great to see you again and have you here, Pidgetta. I Emancipated from my biological parents. It was the saddest thing i had to do. But… I had started to make a life here in Metropolis by time i went back to my old hometown. It was mainly to say goodbye to everyone there. But then when Chloe, Tess, Genevieve stepped in via video-chat… to tell of how they’d help emancipate me from Bobby and Bobbie Lightfoot. It was like i was being put with a choice that i knew… had to be made and made right then. The D.A in this city had a good plausible angle to see it being done legally. It was the belief of Plausible Child neglect. It was solved and from it… i broke from them and Frank Holden… became my father. It was something that made a sad moment… a happy one again. It changed me.
Pidgetta: It sure did. You’re not the usual meek and overly cautious girl that you usually came off being. You’re… Hell… Frickin’ hot. 15 and hot. That’s like turn a Lowlife scumbag that’d be out there in the nation capitol into a golden knight of virtue. We know that will never happen as that guy’s got more venom and corruption and subterfuge in him that could easily make 10 of him easily. But you… You went from oh. It’s just her… to “WHAT THE F—! SHE’S A TOTAL BABE!” Call it over glamorizing if you like. But in this day and age… No one goes from meek and shy to Courageous and Openly expressive in just… like a short period. However you did it… I… oh hell… I’m deeply moved. Proud… stunned and shocked… but moved just the same.
Macie: Thank you."
Pidgetta: That's what it was like. I once told Macie's Ex-Husband... this piece... back before she and the guy even got their wedding "I Do's".
She stated it as such...
"I am attached to my cousin Macie. More than normal. Why that is… It’s because she’s the closest thing that reminds me of my mother. Loving. Caring. Peace and devoted. Wise. Losing Macie for any reason would kill me. I lost my mother the other month and around the end of last year… I lost my father to a heart attack. I don’t have parents of my own. I have nobody. Macie’s the closest thing to a mothering aura that i have. In a cousin. She’s innocent. Sincere. Wise and very intelligent in her unique way. So… Next time you happen to court with her… Remember that. Macie is deeply important to me. I can’t lose her. So you have to understand… that when you and her are together… Anything that happens to her… worries me. Because losing her would truly kill me. I can’t handle it."
Pidgetta: All of that is still true to this day. Because for some reason... she embodies all that my mother had possessed. Everything. So... it was like i'd lose her again.
Lisa: It's a real tear-jerker. It can come to turn your insides into goop.
Corphish: Corphish... *Saddened*
How would Donald react to all that? Would things become clearer now as they made their way closely to Caseyville?

"I understand where you're c-c-c-c-coming from," Porygon-Z related, "Evolution for my forms require the equipment of packaged programs developed by humans. As for where to avoid, map d-d-d-d-data suggests a likelihood of ambushes at or around Mississippi River crossings into Illinois from I-55 to the McKinley Bridge. I have found two possible detour c-c-c-c-crossings: I-270 near MotoMart or I-255 near Walmart."
<Snipped quote by MacieLightfoot>
"It's such a shame that blood isn't always thicker than water," Donald commented with nary a dry eye after hearing his biological family's history. "But I will do everything in my power to ensure the safe rescue of your cousin…Auntie Pidgetta," he finished with a doubling down on his intent to rescue his biological mother; emphasizing his respect for Macie's cousin.
<Snipped quote by James Davy>
Jeremy: Hmm... Okay. So before getting to those spots... we as we near those points... Divert from those spots and go around them. Alternative routes. Going down a side route but not veer off too far from the route that will take us on a fast path to Cleveland.
Lisa: Sounds fair.
Jeremy: *Suddenly Curious* Whatever happened to the guy Vladimir? Did he somehow go back to his farm to do right by his family... or is he still gutless?
Lisa: Jeremy, Don't go there. Not unless you want another blowout. That subject is a dead one. Drop it. He is gone. Team Magma did away with him. He's been snuffed out and executed by them. So... He's dead.
Jeremy: Ouch. Sorry. I... i didn't know. Oh boy. Talk about merciless. That's harsh.
Nicole: No Duh! What do you think it was? An invite to the jamboree? *Grins*
Curtis: My Riolu is sensing something coming from our north. 5 miles enclosing.
Gothorita: *Sensing something coming* It's also from the south.
Jeremy: Okay... Everyone. High alert. Prep for a fight. This could be an ambush.
Pidgetta: No worries. My pokemon Stoutland is itching to knock some heads down. Let those two bastard teams come. Pidgetta is ready to fight.
Sandy: *Shivers* Whoa... She's icy. Spewing fire of fury. She's just busting for a fight.
Jeremy: She sure is.
Pidgetta: *To Donald* I appreciate that. Jeremy has already vowed in deep dedication to nail Team Magma and Team Aqua. However... Now knowing that i can also count on you... it is a very big huge humongous help. Thank you. And i am sure that once we find Macie and get her back. Safe too... We'll get to the whole bottom of how she could have had you and not know it and why if she did know... keep it all a big secret and hidden all these years. There are big questions needing an answer and huge holes in the puzzle behind that we need to fill... So... stay tuned. We will get to attaining all those answers. We'll see this attaining the answers it deserves. If you are clearly family... We'll get all the answers behind it and find out all the missing parts. Given that you're truly possibly a member of the family... We'll make all damn sure that you are protected. No matter what the cost. They screw with one of us... They Screw with ALL of us.
Was there more to know... or were they to make off with enacting a high defense to make ready for a likely ambush? What were they to do?
