Jeremy: Donald, Depending on what happens... May the best trainer win. I am hoping to win... but if you win it... that's just as fine too. There is no competing on who's better than the other. We just give it our all and make best with what we got to show them.

Sandy: That's sound logic right there. Can't get any straighter than that.

Pansage: No way.[/quote]
"I will not have it any other way," Donald replied, recalling all his Pokémon. He knew he had some competition in the tournament, especially now that Jeremy and Sandy are also competing.

Barrack: Well now, If it ain't our drag teen dream Passion Kiss in the midwestern flesh. Good to see you well as usual.

Jeremy: What're you doin' here?

Barrack: I came to get a mighty good hankerin' piece of the fun here. I happen to have a pokepal with me too. It's a good ole's Escavalier.

Jeremy: Escavalier? Hmm. that's a different pokemon.

Pokedex: *Giving info on a pokemon* Escavalier- The Cavalry Pokémon... They fly around at high speed, striking with their pointed spears. Even when in trouble, they face opponents bravely. These Pokémon evolve by wearing the shell covering of a Shelmet. The steel armor protects their whole body. Wearing the shell covering they stole from Shelmet, they defend themselves and attack with two lances. It charges its enemies, lances at the ready. An image of one of its duels is captured in a famous painting of Escavalier clashing with Sirfetch’d.

Sandy: Whoa. *Whistles* that's one sharp pokemon.

Jeremy: And how...

Barrack: I came here to find you to warn you about there being possible sightings of Team Aqua. They are also on the loose and seek to make their moves on seeing to reawaken the Legendary pokemon of the sea Kyogre.

Sandy: Say what?!

Jeremy: You've got to be kidding us. Are you serious?

Barrack: I wish that i weren't serious about that. I do. However... this is not good. Team Magma's now got your sisters on their radar and have already tried to nail them. Luckily they failed in getting your sisters. But they're gonna be needing some heavy defense.

Jeremy: Oh no...

Something was coming... What was it?

"Great, another faction of eco-terrorists," Donald sighed, exasperated at the notion of facing a second Team. He knew from reading about the legendary Pokémon that if the two Teams succeeded in their goals it would spell an ecological disaster worse than any the U.S. and indeed the world ever felt unless a certain someone intervened. He planned on putting his technical prowess to work after the tournament.
