Whiteflare and Blackbolt's kits (X-ing Geekdoms 8 part 2)

-"Umm... Explanation?"

Gladly. Okay, in a linear fashion and reviewing the facts you should know:
1. Jen draws the versions of the Pokemon videogames personified as cats. Duh.
2. Pokemon videogames can be grouped together in what fans call "Generations". Correct. I've been releasing images in these groups for a few months now.
3. Each "Generation" is usually made up of 2 new games released to the masses at the same time and then a year later 1 remake of the two games is created (ex. Gold version and Silver version released together and, one year later, Crystal version is released). The first two game plots are similar in subject matter and the remake has a slightly different retelling. HOLD IT!!! This part is important!

Now, the latest generation of Pokemon (Gen5) came out with two games as usual (Black and White). Fans therefore expected a third installment of the games to come out: Fans referred to this as Pokemon Grey. Then surprise! Fans found out that instead of one remake, we got sequels, 2 versions of sequels (Black 2 and White 2). Grey was nothing but a fan dream quickly dashed for these new sequels.

In my situation, I was going to draw a Greykit for the release of the remake, but was given to sequels instead. So I made Truthkit and Idealkit (named after the conflicting forces of the Generation 5 games), but what about poor Greykit? I used my creativity and got this story idea for these three!
Whiteflare and Blackbolt, both newly appointed warriors of PocketClan, were blessed with a litter of three kits: Truthkit, Idealkit, and Greykit. Unfortunately, Greykit was small, sickly, and rarely cried. Crystalwhisker, the Medicinecat, tried her best but the young tom did not survive his third day of life. The whole clan from apprentice to Redstar, mourned the loss of young life, but everycat carried a spark of hope because they knew that the kit was watching them from the safety of Starclan...

Signed the girl who saw that tear in your eye (don't deny that you cried inside),
Jen
