"Listen up now for I'm about to tell you a tale that can shake up what you know…" Donald instructed.

[i]Flashback, Donald's 15th Birthday

Donald and his school friends had been partying at the Los Paseos Event Center in San José, some of whom brought their Pokémon including the birthday boy. "Make a wish, Donnie," said one by the name of Raúl. Donald nodded, took a deep breath and blew out all fifteen candles on the cake. Everyone else cheered, sang Happy Birthday and gave Donald three cheers. Almost immediately afterwards, Donald's Eevee started glowing a bright white light. "Looks like your Eevee is giving you a present," another friend, Michael, remarked. Donald watched as his Eevee grew in size, became feline in shape and gained a forked tail. The glow subsided to reveal an Espeon in Eevee's place. Cheers issued forth in celebration of a Pokémon evolution during birthday festivities, but Espeon fled to a quieter area on receiving an onslaught of foreign thoughts due to having just awakened her psychic abilities. "Is Espeon alright?" Michael asked.
"Well, how would you feel if you suddenly became a telepath?" Raúl rebutted. Michael understood where Raúl was going as Donald returned with Espeon in his arms and the party continued.

Donald returned home in the evening. "I'm home!" he announced.
"Donald, could you come over here?" his mother asked, "We have something important to tell you."
"Okay," Donald acknowledged, joining his parents in the living room.
"Donald, we adopted you when you were a baby," his father dropped.
"What!?" Donald exclaimed, "You mean you didn't…and I was just…" At that point, Donald ran off to his room and broke down.

In Donald's room, his newly-evolved Espeon came out of her Poké Ball and immediately sensed the sadness in her trainer's mind. She snuggled with her trainer and started purring while soothing Donald's mind with psychic vibes. Soon Donald's stress melted away and his mind was regaining coherence. "[/i]There, there, Donald, it's alright,[i]" Espeon consoled through telepathy, her gem glowing a soothing red, "[/i]Just because they didn't make you doesn't mean they don't love you.[i]" Sensing what Donald was about to ask, Espeon continued with, "[/i]If you really want to know who your biological parents are, leave it to your Pokémon and me. In the meantime, the parents have ordered your favorite Mexican and they're putting your favorite movie on.[i]"

After a night of watching [/i]Wreck-It Ralph[i] and eating Zona Rosa takeout with the parents, Donald retreated to bed. Espeon called Beldum out and the two worked to rewire Donald's brain so it can function at peak efficiency with Beldum providing the technical details along with tutoring Espeon on how to use her new psychic abilities better. "Thank you for taking care of me," Espeon said in parting "Good night."

Over the course of a week, Donald had been using his newly-improved intellect to develop a lot of software and do some white hat hacking for some local businesses and corporations who gave him permission. Donald's phone rang and he answered, "Hello."
"Is this Donald D. Lewis?" a voice asked.
"Speaking," Donald answered.
"I am the COO of Silph Company America and I want to thank you for cleaning our systems of malware and helping us trace its origin. We have captured the malware in question: a Porygon-Z and appropriate measures have been taken against the party responsible for its intrusion into our systems. As compensation for your help we have authorized the delivery of said Porygon-Z by Same-Day Delivery through FedEx to your address. Have a nice day and continue using our products." At that point the call ended and an hour later the package in question had arrived.

After another week had passed, Donald had become a bit more popular in school after using his new friend to Impidimp the social media profiles of various school bullies and now he was prepared to find out who he really was. "Ready for some hacking, Porygon-Z?" Donald asked.
"R-r-r-r-ready for deployment," Porygon-Z answered.
"Execute Phase 1 of Operation: Birth Name," Donald commanded.
"E-e-e-e-executing," Porygon-Z acknowledged. Donald watched on his phone as Porygon-Z searched various National Adoption Agencies for anyone with the given names Donald Darren. "One entry found in American Adoptions California."
"Access the record found," Donald commanded.
"Accessing…" Porygon-Z acknowledged, "Access has been granted."
"Let's see…" Donald said as he looked at his birth parents, "Father unknown (IVF sperm donor)? Macie Lightfoot? Isn't she a celebrity?"
"Searching surface web…affirmative on her being a c-c-c-c-celebrity," Porygon-Z answered, "Macie Lightfoot is known as The R-R-R-R-Rising Star."
"I have my doubts that anyone would believe this even with this document," Donald replied, "Porygon-Z, execute Phase 2."
"E-e-e-e-executing Phase 2 of Operation: Birth Name…" Porygon-Z acknowledged, starting a search through genealogical records, "Birth record found for Donald Darren Lightfoot in Familysearch.org database. Birth mother: Macie Lightfoot."
"That seems corroborative," Donald commented, looking through the record, "There's even genetic proof of her being my birth mother. Porygon-Z, you may play on [/i]Pokémon Mystery Universe[i] for a while."

Over the course of the next month, Donald had procured notarized copies of the records he and Porygon-Z had accessed and filed a successful motion with the local court to have his name changed back to his birth name Donald Darren Lightfoot.

"And that is how I, Donald Lightfoot, found out about my familial connection to you guys," Donald concluded.
