Author's notes: This story is for a sequel to Pokémon XD Gale Of Darkness I had once planned before, but then lost what I had written down, and hadn't worked on restoring it for a long time. Now with the announcement of Pokémon X and Y, I want to get to work on this again, while making some changes to the story.

Bonus Note: In the planned game, the male and female player characters were going to be counterparts to each other. However, in this story, they will be portrayed together, with the two planned starters split between them.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon in any way or form. All I own is this story and a select few of the characters portrayed in it. Profiles of new characters shown in this story will be on the bottom of the chapter they are shown in, except for random trainers that have no true connection to the plot.

Chapter 1: The Story Begins

Pokétech Labs, Northeastern Orre

"Kita, Jen, wake up!", A voice came from an intercom inside of a two-bed bedroom. Jen was the first to wake, stretching his arms out and yawning as he got up. Kita woke up only a moment later, rubbing her eyes. The two were sibling, twins to be precise, who always managed to get along with each other. "Come to the lab. I need your help on something.", the voice said. Jen walked over to the intercom tiredly and pressed a button down, and spoke, "On our way."

After a bit of time, the two siblings walked into the cluttered lab and walked over to a scientist. "What do you need help with, dad?", Jen asked. "It's this one component of my project.", he replied, "I can't figure out how to put it in." "Oh, that?", Jen asked, looking at a couple of gloves that had some mechanics laced around the outside, "Let's see... Ah, here we go. It'll take a little effort, but..." Jen pushed a component onto one of the gloves, locking it in place between two other components, and connects a couple of wires to it.

"There we go. Now the other one." Jen repeated the process with the other glove. "I knew you'd figure it out. Thanks, Jen." "No prob. But why'd you call Kita over if you just needed me?" Jen turned to Kita. "No offence." "None taken.", Kita replied. "Ah, yes, well, you see, I know how much you two like battling, so I thought you might want to try out the Pyrite Colosseum.", the scientist said, "They're even giving away Pokémon to the winners." "Cool.", Jen said, "Thanks. Let's go, Kita." "Right.", Kita replied, nodding quickly. The two siblings then run out of the lab.

Pyrite Town, Southwestern Orre

After a somewhat long motorcycle ride and a quick run, the twins arrive at the reception desk of the Colosseum. "Hello, there.", the lady at the desk said, "Are you two here for the challenge?" "Yes, we are.", Jen said, "We'd like to compete together, if possible." "That won't be a problem. Just be aware that each of you can only use three Pokémon at the most.", the lady replied. "That won't be a problem. Thanks."

Pyrite Colosseum Round 1

Opponent: Rider M Kyne

"Hello, and welcome to the Pyrite Colosseum Challenge!", the announcer's voice echoed all over the stadium, "Our first matchup is Rider Kyne, a beginner trainer who shows great promise, versus a tag-team of Kita and Jen, scientists from Pokétech Labs, as well as pros at the battle simulators! This battle's gonna be heated up!" "Get ready, kiddies, 'cause Kyne's gonna beat ya!", Kyne said, just before releasing a Torchic and a Mudkip. Jen sends out a Leafeon, and Kita sends out a Glaceon. Jen orders his Leafeon to use Razor Leaf, which does a bit of damage to the Torchic, and KOs the Mudkip. Kyne sends out a Treeko, but the Glaceon uses Icy Wind, taking out both the Torchic and the Treeko. With Kyne out of Pokémon, the battle was over. "Well that didn't last long!", the announcer said, "Kita and Jen are the winners!" "I underestimated you two!", Kyne said as he returned his fainted Pokémon.

Pyrite Colosseum Round 2

Opponent: Chaser F Kera

"Now for our second matchup!", the announcer said, "We have the Chaser, Kera, an expert on the field, as well as a battle strategist, and our tag-team duo, the Pokétech Lab Scientists, Kita and Jen." "You're just a couple of kids. You won't win.", Kera said confidently, sending out a Baltoy and a Trapinch. Once again, the Leafeon and Glaceon duo was out as well. Leafeon used Razor Leaf, taking out the Trapinch, and almost KOing the Baltoy, making Kera send out a Sandy Cloak Wormadam, only for Baltoy and Wormadam to be KOd by an Icy Wind. Kera was out of Pokémon at that point, ending the battle. "Well, that one was quick as well.", the announcer said, "But I'll give that Baltoy props for surviving that first hit." "H-How... you're just kids!", Kera said.
