Well wasn't this peachy? _____, the most recent League champion, was completely lost in a cave deep underground. It was pretty late at night, too; who in their right mind would be out here this late? _____ had her trusty Sableye with her, and it could see in the dark, but _____ couldn't. And that leads us to her sitting huddled against the cave wall, Sableye in her lap, and the Champion shivering in the cold, moist air of the cave. It was pitch black, and it was so quiet...
"Sableye, I-I think we need to wait out until morning..."
"Sableee...eye!! Sableye!" Sableye suddenly jumped up, grabbing its trainer's hand and attempting to tug her away. A loud rumbling came from above, and _____'s eyes widened in shock as she heard rocks beginning to fall. She scrambled up and grabbed Sableye in her arms, running blindly and dodging whatever falling stones (and eventually boulders) she could until she slammed into a wall of solid rock, giving a yell of surprise and pain as she hit. Several small- and medium-sized rocks had hit her, leaving plenty of cuts and bruises on her, and she held Sableye close as she awaited her doom, tears beading in her eyes.
"Metagross, use Flash!!" A voice suddenly came from deeper in the room, near the edge of it. A bright light suddenly shone through the cave, a figure silhouetted against it, and the light and the figure quickly began navigating between the falling rocks to get to _____. _____ sighed in relief, as she recognized the voice immediately. The former Champion, Steven Stone.
"_____! I thought I heard your voice in here! Quickly, let's get out of here before all of us get crushed to death!" Steven ordered as he grabbed her arm and pulled her atop Metagross, with Sableye held close with her other arm. Metagross wasted no time in making it's way out of the cave-in, and soon, the four of them were outside the cave. Steven helped her off and cupped her cheek, gently turning her head to both sides.
"Let me look at you..._____, you're hurt. Are--"
"I-I'm fine!" she quickly answered for him. She was very shaken up about the whole experience, she was trembling and there were traces of stray tears on her cheeks. "I-I was just a little scared, and they're just a few cuts--ow!"
She yelped a little as Steven put a concerned hand on her shoulder, which he quickly withdrew. "_____, let me see." he said calmly yet sternly as he pulled her shirt collar over a bit to look at her shoulder. There was a large, swollen bruise on it, turning an unnatural shade of purple. "_____, come with me. We need to get you medical attention."
"Steven, I-I--"
"Sh. You don't have a say in this. You're injured and I'm not just going to not help you."
The former Champion grabbed a pokeball and released the Skarmory from inside it, helping her onto it's back and climbing on, flying to the nearest city, Mossdeep.
_____ sat in Steven's house, bandages on her injuries, and Sableye sitting patiently with its trainer's bag. The front door opened and Steven entered, a stern expression etched onto his features. _____ gulped, her hands shaking in nervousness.
"_____," he began, "I need to ask; just what were you doing so deep in an unstable cave so late at night?"
"S-Steven, I--"
"Do you realize how dangerous that really is? You could've gotten attacked, seriously injured, _____. You could've died!"
"I-I--"
"And what would I do if anything bad happened to you? I care far too much for you to--"
"S-Steven, I'm sorry!!!"
Steven's eyes widened when he saw that there were fresh tears spilling down her cheeks. He was silent, simply staring at her.
"I-I'm so sorry Steven, I...I-I was trying to find something for you, any sort of r-rare stone I could give t-to you as a gift, b-but it got too dark and I c-couldn't find my way out, I-I planned to wait out til morning but then the cave-in started a-and...!!" She looked down in shame, sniffling and trying to keep herself from breaking out sobbing.
"You...were looking for something for me...?" Steven's tone clearly depicted that he was shocked, and he approached and sat down beside her. "_____, if I had known that..."
"I-I'm so sorry, Steven..."
"Shh...it's okay, I understand...oh _____, please don't cry..." He gently wrapped his arms around her in a comforting hug, careful not to hurt her further. _____ hugged him back and pressed her face to his shoulder, crying quietly. Steven could feel the wetness of her tears soak through his suit and on his skin, and he sighed a little, leaning back to look at her.
"_____...I'm flattered that you wanted to find something just for me, but please, don't put yourself in danger for it...if something ever happened to you, I..." He trailed off, one hand gently cupping her cheek. "..._____...I love you far too much...and if something ever happened to you, I feel as if I'd only blame myself..."
Steven's words hit her like Force Palm. He...loved her? He, Steven Stone, loved her? She was completely speechless, but there was suddenly a tugging at her pantleg.
"Saaa!" Sableye held up a Shiny Stone, having pulled it from _____'s bag. _____ took it and looked down at it, then back up to Steven.
"I...I did find this while I was in there...b-but I wasn't sure you'd like it, so I kept looking..."
"_____." Steven smiled and took the stone, turning it over in his hands and looking deep into her eyes. "I love it, _____...because you put enough thought into finding this just for me...like I said, I love you, and...even if you don't, I firmly believe that I still will."
"Steven...I...I-I really think I do too..." _____ gave a shaky sigh, looking down at her lap. "N-Not at first, but...when we arrived at the Southern Island, with Latios and Latias...I really felt something, and...a-and when you gave me my first Mega Stone, I knew what I felt was infatuation..." She smiled softly, looking back up at him. "Stone after stone..."
"_____..." He gently cupped her cheek once more, his voice softer and deeper. He leaned forward, his eyes drifting closed as he tilted his head to the side slightly, and their lips met in a sweet kiss that seemed to last for ages. When he pulled away, he still stayed close to her and kissed her forehead. "...I love you..."
"I-I love you too, Steven..."
"Sableeee!!" Sableye jumped up between them, grinning widely, making Steven jump back a little in surprise. The former Champion began to laugh, gently rubbing the jeweled pokemon's head.
"You do a good job of protecting your Trainer, little one. And I swear..." He looked up at _____. "I swear I'll do the same. Though as Champion, you'd hardly need it, hm?"
"Well...you never know when another cave-in could happen, and you did save my life..." _____ giggled and hugged Steven, sighing contently as she rested her head against his chest and listened to the soothing sound of his heartbeat.
"...I love you, Steven..."
"As do I...even more than stones.
