I've actually written this a while ago in my notebook and I finally got around to typing the first part. The second part will be based on Soul's POV when she goes to Hoenn.

This is part one of two. If it's seems fast it's because it's more of a prologue.

Lyra/Kotone=Soul because I like the game names better.

I don't own Pokemon so you all know.

(Steven's Pov)

I came to Kanto for a much-needed vacation but ended up going for research, it didn't surprise me in the least. But before I went there I made a quick stop at Johto to visit an old friend and gave him the Blue Orb, he would have more use for it than I. After that I then bordered a ship at Olivine city bound for Vermilion city.

On that ship there was a powerful trainer that went around challenging and defeating all other trainers on board. For some reason I was eagerly awaiting for my turn. The rumors were enough to excite me and that was something. But my turn never came, our paths never crossed, not until the ship docked.

I was one of the last to leave the ship, in hopes that maybe the trainer was looking for anyone she had missed, but nope. As I walked down the dock a young woman had caught my eye. She was wearing a simple red shirt with dark blue jeans and an interesting big, white hat with two cinnamon colored pigtails poking out from under it. She was staring at the water with her powerful but beautiful Meganium by her side. Staring back her was one of Johto's legendary Pokemon, Suicune. The aurora Pokemon fled when a strange man wearing a unique white and purple outfit came charging towards them. The two exchanged words and then the man walked off. Before she too left she spotted me and gave me such an enchanting smile.

After that little encounter I doubted we would see each other again (much to my displeasure); never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined we would see each other so soon. I spent the rest of that day taking in the city's sights and taking care of necessities when I spotted Latias flying overhead. Like a giddy little boy chasing after the ice cream truck I followed and nearly bumped into her, though she didn't notice, she was far to engross with her Pokedex trying to learn about Latias. I chuckled quietly to myself, she looked so exited, so happy...so cute.

The Eon Pokemon flew out of sight to quickly for her device to register and she was disappointed as the frown on her face suggested. To bring back her smile and to hopefully learn her name, I told her about Latias. She listened to my every word with such an adorable smile on her face. Once my tale ended her eyes flashed with determination to make the physic-dragon Pokemon hers. She thanked me and told me her name, Soul Heart, before she raced off. It made sense how she was able to defeat all those trainers without much trouble, she is Johto's newest champion, and she had turned her sights onto Kanto.

I don't know why she had clouded my mind since that encounter but nothing I did could rid my thoughts of her but at the same time I didn't want to stop thinking about her. Whenever I was out and about my eyes would scan the area in hopes of spotting her. And on the occasions that I did spot her we would always talk, no matter how busy either of us was. She told me much of her adventures and how her goal was Kanto's missing champion. Her tales are very interesting; she's done so much so quickly and she's so young. My tales aren't anywhere near as interesting as hers but she always wanted to hear about them and that made me happy.

Doing an errand for my father I stopped at the Silph Cooperation office building in Saffron city. While talking to the receptionist, who was obviously into me, her imagine flooded the corner of my eye. Forgetting what I was doing and annoying the receptionist I walked over to her. She was talking to the security guard and he gave her some item. When she turned and saw me a giant smile grew on her face and one grew on mine.

She told me that she meet Kanto's long lost champion and managed to defeat him. From what she told me it sounded like it was some battle and I wish I could have witnessed it. She also showed me her Pokedex, she had seen and caught all of Johto's and Kanto's Pokemon. To help her get started with the Hoenn section I let her choose one of the starters from my region, she choose Torchic. While I still had her there I decided to ask and see if she had a Forretress and was willing to trade it for a Beldum, she did.

When I finished everything that I needed to do I decided to take a break at Pewter city's museum to see their collection of space artifacts, in particular the meteors, before checking out some caves. To my surprise she walked in, looking for me. She took my hand, without a thought, and led me out. I had to keep reminding myself that she was only sixteen and I was twenty-five, something I had ignored in all our previous meetings. Outside was Latias, she actually managed to catch the elusive Pokemon; I looked at the dragon in wonder as I was to speechless to say anything. Not long after her showing me the magnificent dragon did Latias' brother, Latios, appear attracted to the Enigma Stone that Soul had found. The blue dragon was in raged and quickly challenged Soul to a battle, a battle she won by catching the other Eon Pokemon. Her catching a legendary Pokemon didn't surprise me that much it was the Pokemon that she used to catch it, Blaziken. I was very happy to see that she evolved the Torchic and that she even incorporated him into her party along with the Beldum that had evolved into a Metang then.

After our meeting at the museum I fled to several different caves. I was trying to bury the feelings that were developing and the best way that I had concluded was to distract myself with my favorite past time. I managed to do so and I almost made it to Hoenn keeping them locked up but she found me and set them free.

"Mr. Stone?" she asked weakly as if she was unsure if she was right. She slowly walked over to me on the dock with her Meganium right behind her. I took a deep breath and slowly turned to face her. Her face was scrunched up in worry but when she realized she was right a smile grew and the feelings were released.

"Hello Soul and I thought we covered this already but Mr. Stone is my father," I answered with a soft smile and she laughed softly. Soon her smile faded and she was looking at her feet.

"You're leaving?" Her voice was soft and she was fiddling with the bracelet on her left wrist. I said nothing and looked off at the ocean. "I wanted to thank you before you left." I looked back at her and she was looking at me with her big, hazel eyes that seemed to be on the verge of tears.

"For what?" I asked to change the mood.

"For the Dawn stone you gave me when you traded Iron and well for everything else." She pulled out a Shiny Stone from her bag and handed it to me. "I'm sorry it isn't much and I'm sure you have plenty of them..." I took the stone and briefly examined it. It's true that I do have a lot of them but the one she gave me has a different shine to it.

"Thank you."

She smiled warmly. "You are most welcomed."

The ship's horn blared signaling all remaining passengers to get on soon. Her smile faded once again. "Will...will I see you again?"

"Come to Hoenn," I blurted out and she beamed with joy before annoyance washed over her.

"I can't right now. I have to put a request into Indigo Plateau before I can go to another region." I reached down to her bag and unclipped her Pokegear and began to program my number. The whole time both her and her Meganium were watching me in wonderment and I had to suppress my laughter.

"When you do come call me or you can just call me whenever you feel like it," I said as I returned her gear to her. She just stared at it and I could no longer hold back my laughter.

The ship's horn roared again and I had to hurry to get on. "Good-bye Steven! I'll go to Hoenn soon!" I nodded to her and boarded the ship. I couldn't wait to see her again. Again I had neglected to remember our age difference but I couldn't help it. I was in love with her.

Well did you like it? Please tell me in a review!

Second part will be up whenever I get to type it.
