Hot shot was in the hospital getting treatment for a brain tumor called Choroid Plexus Carcinoma. Which is brain cancer. Hot shot was able to get back to the things he enjoys because of the therapy to help. Hot shot was now able to run, jump, climb and play easily. Dr. Acord was pleased with what she saw. "Things are looking great for Hot shot," Dr. Acord said. "He is doing well and having no neurological problems," she said. "He is becoming nice and strong again," she said.

"So is there a chance I can return to sports?" Hot shot asked.

"Yes there is a chance you can and you are doing well," Dr. Acord said. "We want you to be as active as possible as you are getting treatment and once treatment is over," she said.

"I like to play video games can I do that?" Hot shot asked.

"Yes you can and their even video game competitions," Dr. Acord said. 

"Do they have video game competitions for Pokemon?" Hot shot asked.

"Let's look it up," Heatwave said. "Yes there is it is called the Pokemon championship series, the have competitions for the card game, and many of the different video games of the Pokemon series," he said.

"Cool," Hot shot said. "But I don't have a Nintendo Switch and I just learned how to read so how can I play a Pokemon game if I don't have a Nintendo Switch?" he asked.

Heatwave turned to Quickshadow. "Your brother said he was looking for a good idea for Hot shot's Christmas present so how about we suggest a Nintendo switch with a couple of Pokemon games?" Heatwave said in a whisper to Quickshadow.

"Good idea," Quickshadow whispered back and shot her brother a text with the idea.

"Many video gamers stream their playing online for others to see. Many of them get many followers and some get big signing bonuses and get paid to stream." Dr. Acord said.

Hot shot was soon taken to the radiology center to get an MRI and to get radiation therapy. Hot shot was ready for it too. "Okay Hot shot stay nice and still," Howie told him. Hot shot was getting the MRI first. Hot shot was staying very still. Hot shot held on to Roxy the rhino as the scan was going on. Then the scan was over. "Good job Hot shot you did well," he said.

Then Hot shot was take to get his radiation therapy done. Hot shot was staying as still as possible. He was doing a really good job. Hot shot was staying still as a statue. He wasn't moving a muscle. He was breathing calmly and quietly. Hot shot was listening to Pokemon music as he was getting it done. Hot shot heard the whir of the radiotherapy machine as the music was playing. Hot shot was thinking about many things and such. He was wondering about doing video games as competing and if he does do it, he could he do it if he doesn't have a video game system? Hot shot was thinking about a lot of things. But Hot shot was doing just fine. Then the radiotherapy machine stopped.

"Okay Hot shot you are all done," Tallie said.

"All done for today," Hot shot said.

"I finished my last one," Hot shot said.

"You sure did," Tallie said.

Hot shot was able to take take his mask with him. His father helped him put in a safe place in his hospital room. Hot shot got settled in his bed to rest for a bit.
