Markus and Kat held their hands as the Nurse inspected the pregnat Kat. This would be their second child, and while it wasn't intended, at least Kassy would have a little sibling to play with. And who knew? If it was a girl, maybe they would be the best in beauty contests, just like Kassy.

They could hope.

The Doctor finished inspecting Kat's stomach, before smiling. "Great news! They're both completely healthy, and will come about in Seven Months!" He smiled. Kat and Markus, however, were not so pleased.

"What do you mean, two?" Markus asked, trembling a little.

The Doctor smiled at the couple. "I mean... you're having twins! A boy and a girl!" He told them happily. However, Markus and Kat weren't so pleased.

X.x.X

"Kassy, please don't cry! I promise you'll love them!" Kat consoled the crying Four year old.

"NO! I don't want two siblings! I only want one! I want one, I want one, I want one!" Kassy whined, screaming so loud that Kat and Markus had to leave the room.

Markus looked at Kat. "I hate too be like this, but can we really afford to have two more kids?" He asked her.

"Well, it depends, Kassy on her own has been able to win so much prize money, that we won that trip to Genzu in a few months. If these kids are just as beautiful, we might even be able to quit our jobs!" Kat clapped her hands.

Markus smiled, "Yea, I guess you're right. Three times the kids, three times the revenue.."

"Push, You gotta push!" The Doctor yelled, Kat screamed as the Doctor's did what they could to reduce the pain. The babies both came a week early, before they could leave Genzu.

"Annd, there we go! That's both of them!" The Doctor proclaimed, holding both babies, and giving them to Kat.

Markus came rushing in. "Did I hear right? Are they both born?!" He asked, seeing Kat, and rushing over to her.

Both babies whined softly as Kat held them in her arms, smiling.

The Doctor looked at them with a smile. "Have you decided their names?
Kat looked at Markus, who nodded.

"Yes, their names are Aubree and..."

X.x.X

Two days after births of Aubree and the boy, Kat and Markus looked at each other in terror.

"What do you mean, neurological disorder?" Markus asked frantically. The Doctor sighed.

"The boy has Neuro Transacter, a disorder that can affect the brain quite heftily. It makes them incredibly hyper at times, and requires them to almost always be moving. It can be treated with medicine, but never cured."

Kat and Markus looked at each other, and began to cry, as the Doctor left them be.

Kat sighed, "What can we do with a kid who can't even sit still? The medicine will cost so much, especially if it's forever."

Markus looked back at the children, and then at Kassy, who had her arms crossed, frowning at the two kids.

"Well... Kassy did say she only wanted one sibling." Markus said...

The rain poured down as Kat set the bag down, the baby boy wailing as Kat rang the door bell, before rushing to the car, as they both drove off.

"We'll say he died in the hospital, we're completley heartbroken, and don't wanna talk about it, alright?" Kat said to Markus, who nodded.
"Guess Kassy and Aubree will be our money makers."

"But Moooom, I don't wanna be in a contest, me and Alisha want to take on the Kalos gyms!" Aubree complained to Kat, who sighed in aggravation.
"Please, Aubree, you and Alisha are too young for that. Besides, Kassy is already an excellent batteler, but she didn't start battling until she won the Master Rank in every contest! And you're gonna do the same!" Kat told Aubree, who frowned.

"I don't even like contests..."

Kassy snorted. "Please, you have a reputation to uphold! What would the public think if you started battling, but didn't learn the rules of beauty like I did?" Kassy taunted Aubree, who scowled.

"Look, stop fighting, the both of you. Aubree, you're going to compete in contests, end of story, and Aubree, start putting your make up on, after the contest, you have a commisioned match against Oak, the Kanto professor." Both girls replied in their own way, before returning to what they were doing.

Aubree sighed, in frustration and sadness. She had waited so long to finally get a pokemon, and now she couldn't even go on an adventure like she wanted. She had read a book about a boy named Ash ketchum, who, at only twelve, had taken down Team Flare, a terrorist organization in Kalos, and stopped them from destroying Lumiose city.

Of course, there was word that Team Flare might be rising up again, but they were just rumors.

She wanted to be able to go on adventures too, and to fight terrorists like Team Flare! How she longed for the day that would happen.

Fourteen Year old Aubree sighed, as Markus continued to scold her.
"I can't believe you lost that contest, just because you didn't "have enough time"! That's a lie and you know it!" He continued to shout.

"Kassy used to be ready twice as fast as you, and she took first place every time! Why can't you be like her?!" He continued to nag and shout.
Kassy simply smiled as she did her nails with Kat.

Aubree, finally having heard enough, snapped back, "Because I don't WANT to be in contests! I want to be a pokemon trainer! Me and Alisha took on Korrina in a match, and guess what? I almost beat her! And I had a great time, too! If I had more time to train, instead of being in this stupid contest, I bet I could be in the Kalos league in a year, tops!"

Markus scoffed. "Please, you couldn't be in the Kalos league if you tried, but I'll humor you. Fine! Go take part in your unproffitable training! But don't expect any help from us!" Markus shouted.

"Fine, I will!" Aubree shouted back, before storming out the door.

X.x.X

"See! I told you I could do it! Look, I got invited to the Genzu World Tournament! I have a chance to be the champion too!" Aubree exclaimed! Her eyes had stained makeup were she had clearly been crying.

Kassy laughed. "Seriously? After I 6-0'd you in the finals, they gave YOU an invitation too? Laughable! You won't even make it past the first round!" Kassy taunted.
Aubree began to tear up again, before running out the door.

Tears fell from Aubree's eyes as she layed in the tree. She was never good enough, no matter how hard she tried.

She made it to the Kalos league in the first year, like she said she would, but sadly fell short in the second round. Not wavering in determination, she went on to Hoenn, and made it too the top eight... as Kassy was the runner up.

Still not stopping, she tried again in Kalos, only to get brutally destroyed by Kassy in the finals. No matter what she did, her parents were never proud of her! She couldn't take it anymore!
"Hey, you ok up there?" A voice rang down from below. Aubree looked down to see Kane, her best friend, watching from below.

Aubree wiped away her tears, before answering. "Yea, I'm ok. Sad, but ok."

Kane frowned, before he climbed up the tree to sit beside her. "Hey... don't let your family get ya down. You did great this year! I've been trying for three years just to make it into the Kalos league, and I barely made it too round three before getting blown back. Be proud of your achievements, and go kick some butt in that tournament, alright?" Kane encouraged, Aubree beaming at her friend.

"Yea.. yea you're right! I can totally do this! You promise you'll be there eventually, right?" Aubree quizzed, Kane giving her the Thumbs up.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He said. Aubree smiled.
"Thank you, Kane. I promise to go far in this tournament..."
