Hello! This is my first Pokemon fanfiction so please bear with me! I love Lolishotashipping so I decided to write this (Since unfortunately, there aren't many fanfictions on these two together) Please remember to review in the end! ;)


It was just another day in Sinnoh, sunny outside with few clouds out. Cynthia had decided to explore Mt. Cornet for the fun of it. She got off her garchomp and was ready to return her back to her pokeball. Garchomp looked uncertain at first.

"It's ok, Garchomp," Cynthia laughed lightly. "We've been to these mountains before, not much danger. I'll call you out if I need to ok?"

Garchomp still looked doubtful, but allowed her trainer to return her.

Cynthia began to explore once more in the beautiful mountains. No matter how many times she's been here before, she was always fascinated by the beauty of Mt. Cornet. Not looking where she was going and it was kind of dark in the cave, Cynthia slammed into someone as they fell onto the floor.

"Oof!" The person said as Cynthia landed on top of them.

The champion found herself lying on top of the stranger. She opened her eyes and stared at the stranger in surprise and embarrassment. The stranger was a young man who looked no older than 30 years. He had blue-silver colored hair and had a red tie that was tucked into his shirt which was black with purple patterns. Cynthia instantly realized who he was. It was Steven Stone, former champion of Hoenn. She heard that he had given up his position to his friend Wallace less than a year ago; no one knew why he had given up such an important title.

"I'm so sorry!" Cynthia exclaimed while quickly climbing off of Steven and helping him up.

"Its okay, the cave is pretty dark so it's not your fault," Steven replied giving Cynthia a warm smile.

Then he peered closer at Cynthia and realization hit him.

"You're Cynthia right? Champion of Sinnoh?" Steven asked.

She nodded. "And you're Steven Stone, former Champion of Hoenn."

They continued to talk and walking around the cave.

"So, Steven, what are you doing here in Sinnoh?" Cynthia asked.

"I'm just exploring the mountains in hope of finding rare stones."

Cynthia was puzzled. "That's it? What else do you do besides finding and collecting rocks?"

Steven looked at her; there was no anger in his blue eyes, only amusement. "Well, I really enjoy doing this, it may sound very simple and boring, but to me it's fun and relaxing. Every time I find a stone, I wonder what kind of journey it had to be here and what kind answers it has relating to mountains. It's also very relaxing because it helps me forget about all my worries in the world and just explore."

Cynthia stared at him with admiration. She hesitated before asking. "Do you mind if I join you? I came here to explore the mountains, just like you, so…" Cynthia couldn't understand why she was so nervous. She was only asking to find rocks with him

Surprise lit Steven's eyes. Then he smiled. "No not at all, it's actually more fun with more people joining."


As they explored the caves in the mountains, Cynthia began to learn more about Steven. But whenever she asked the question about why he had given up his position as champion, the steel-type trainer would either not answer or make a failed attempt to change the subject. Cynthia decided not to ask anymore, if Steven didn't want to answer then she shouldn't force him to.

Steven stopped in his tracks for a moment to examine one part of the cave wall. Cynthia stared at him in confusion.

"Aron, come on out!" Steven tossed out a pokeball as the tiny steel-type pokemon let out a loud squeal of excitement. It then charged at the wall with much force, causing some stones to fall out.

"Thanks Aron," Steven replied, petting it on its head before returning Aron back to its pokeball. He walked over to the fallen stones and began to examine them.

Cynthia just watched from behind him and began to look around the cave.

"Huh, isn't this strange…" He murmured, half to himself.

Cynthia's attention snapped back to him. "What's wrong?"

Steven didn't reply for a few moments. "I found a prism scale… I thought you could only find those in Unova?"

The champion walked over to him and took the prism scale. "Yeah, I found plenty of those in Undella Town, but I never found them here…"

"Hmm, I guess we'll never know." Steven murmured as Cynthia gave the evolution "stone" back.

"Wait what? I thought you researched about stones you come across every time, aren't you going to do the same with the prism scale?"

He shook his head. "Unova is far from Sinnoh, there's no way to explain how this got here if it's not native to this region."

"Maybe a pokemon was holding it?"

"No, why would a pokemon take a prism scale, travel all the way to Sinnoh just to leave it here?"

There was silence. Steven turned around to face Cynthia and saw that it was starting to get dark outside.

"I think it's time to go back now, don't you?"

Cynthia nodded and followed him out.

"So where are you going now?" She asked him.

"I was thinking about maybe traveling to Unova."

"Oh, okay." Cynthia was a little disappointed that he wasn't going to stay in Sinnoh awhile longer.

Steven saw the disappointment on her face and laughed. "Don't worry I'll visit once in awhile." He sent out his skarmory and was about to take off when Cynthia asked.

"Why don't you stay for the night? My grandma's house isn't too far from here."

"No, its fine, I don't want to bother you anymore." Steven said with another heartwarming smile.

Cynthia had seen that smile many times on many different people. Most of the time, it was fake, but there was something different about Steven's smile that was real but made her heart leap for joy every time.

He was about to leave when he hesitated. "Actually, Cynthia…"

"Yes?" Cynthia answered almost immediately.

"Now that I think about it, I don't need this prism scale, maybe you can take it? Plus, I've been thinking about giving something to you as a gift to remember me by."

Steven handed the pretty scale to Cynthia as she felt a blush creep in.

"Thank you," She murmured.

"Well, it's been nice talking to you, Champion." Steven replied smiling before taking off and friendly waving to her. She waved back and when he was almost out of sight she sighed heavily.

She had only met Steven a couple of times at the Champion Conferences before he gave up his title. When they would spot each other in the halls of the Conference building they would just exchange greetings. Even then, there was nothing about him that made Cynthia's heart pound like crazy until now. Cynthia didn't understand why he made her feel like this. So she shrugged, hoping to get him out of her mind for now.


As Steven was sitting on his skarmory as it flew in the nearly dark sky, he kept on thinking about Cynthia. Whenever she smiled, his heart would skip a beat. Steven never really experienced this before so he was very confused.

"Well, whatever it is, I still hope we'll meet again soon." Steven thought.
