Next Day, same time, Leon sneaks into Victor's changing room. "Hey." Leon smirks. Victor quickly puts his red shirt back on and giggles.

"Please don't do that ever again." Victor smiles with a tiny bit of frustration. But it all washes away when the monitors flash on. On the screen was a man wearing a white mask. On the left side of the mask was three dots, red, blue and green. The man had a long pink cape that went down to past their shoulders.

"Hello all people of the Galar region!" The scratchy voice chirps. "I'm sorry for interrupting your day. I know most are bored already so meet me Hammerlocke gym! I'm renting the stadium so come today at 4pm to see what I want to tell the world!" As quickly the man appeared on screen, he disappeared in a flash of light.

"W-What was that?" Victor frowns, scratching his head.

"I don't know. But all I can see is that they're up to no good." Leon glares at the black TV screen. Fear and frustration boils in his clenched fist, ready to tear the mask off the man's face. "Let's go now Victor. Before that weirdo can do anything to anyone." Leon goes to the door, not expecting a response.

"Wait! You know that's what they might be wanting. Wanting me or possibly you to go over there for some reason. Why else wouldn't they just say whatever they wanted to say now?" Victor puts his hand on Leon's shoulder.

"Yes but I can't let any people get hurt!" Leon brushes off Victor's hand and opens the door. Victor sighs but follows Leon.

-

The two land in front of the Hammerlocke Pokemon Center. "I'm going to let out Charizard. You can get out Cinderace. Maybe us having our aces out might make the man back down." Victor nods and sends out his Cinderace.

The four quickly rush to the gym. Inside were lots of people lining up for the event. Instead of a normal gym trainer blocking the path, it was Raihan. He was on his phone, seemingly tired.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Leon frowns, holding Victor's hand so he doesn't get lost in the crowd.

"Hmm? Oh! The guy wanted to use the stadium so I let him. He asked me to stand here so I did.

"But he's clearly a nut job! And you're just letting him in AND listening to him?" Leon glares at Raihan.

"He's a nice dude you know. He might not be the best in the head right now but he's a good guy." Raihan shrugs half way, to lazy to do a full one. Leon lets out a loud sigh.

"So, uh Raihan. Can you please let us into the stadium?" Victor asks softly.

"Oh sure!" Raihan nods, letting the two pass. Leon runs on ahead and Victor runs after. Like they accepted, there was the masked man in the middle of the stadium. The man had stitches running down his left leg, seeming like they had broken it before. The right let looked fine and had no hair, unliked the stiched leg. The man wore a long white shirt and purple gloves.

Over all, the outfit was an awful mess.

"There you are!" Leon swocled. The masked man spins around, playing with a Dusk Ball.

"I am here Leon. Nice to see you." The man bows but puts his left hand over the mask.

"So, uh, we kinda wonder what you're planning to tell everyone." Victor goes between his Cinderace and Leon.

"I don't know. Maybe how there should be more of a democracy here or maybe making humans smarter... Never really thought of it." The man fiddles with their grey hood. "But before you ask, I don't want to battle. I just want to talk."

"I knew it." Victor frowns slightly. 

"If you wanted to talk, why go through all this?" Leon tries to control his temper, just wanting to spend a quiet day with his boyfriend.

The masked man shrugged. "Because it would grab everyone's attention. And possibly make a scene."

Victor grabs Leon's wrist. "Ok... So do you want to sit down in the changing room and talk this through?" Victor squeeks. The man nods and leads the way, already knowing this place like the back of their hand.

The three sit down, Pokemon standing behind Leon and Victor. "So, who are you anyways?" Leon crosses his arms.

"WHO am I?" The masked man grabs their arms. "Who am I? Who the hell am I?" The masked man starts to giggle. Cinderace and Charizard move into a more offensive pose, ready to strike on command. "You don't know who I am!? I'm your biggest fan!" The man lets out a crazy laugh, a little laugh Leon heard before.

"No..." Leon whispers. "No no no no no no no..." Leon shakes his skin, struck with fright. "It's can't be you..."

The mask rumbles from the laughter, slowly sliding off. The masked man leans forward and lets the mask drop. Inside the mask was mostly white with a few smears of blood. The unmasked man leans back, smiling. His yellow eyes glow with envy, same as his sadistic smile.

"I've missed you both so much. I don't know how I lived without you two!"

"No! NO NO NO NO NO!" Leon clutches his head. "Wake up, you must me in some time of hell."

"You are Leon. And I just hope this time you'll remember me... Brother."
