In the name of Chaos
Once the Stone Family returned back home, Irisviel called Maristella if she could have the boys for a sleepover aka Operation Baby Making slash seducing Lily on their bed. The said blonde secretary only took a glance upon the deadpanned looks on the boys' faces before she kidnapped them.
Willingly.
"They finally found a compatible pregnancy potion for Mommy so. . . ." Steven answered when asked.
"Hmm," Maristella hummed under her breath. "What about Lily?"
(--o--) "Currently being seduced." Steven answered.
"I see. I brought home several files you could look upon straight from your father's office. . "
No one ever mentioned the current parental bedtime activities for the sake of their sanity.
Steven, meet Steven,
It was a month after the Founder's Meeting that Cattleya visited.
Accompanying her is the Steven Stone of the Original Timeline.
"Hi, Steven! Nice to meet you! I won't introduce myself because I know you already know me! Oh, hi, Wallace! "
Like Sorella said, this Steven is a much . . hyper version of his Mommy.
'I'm sorry, Rara-chan. I beg and plead to have Gray-nii to accompany me but they veto-ed me. . ." Cattleya cried in despair upon her younger cousin. "However, Dia-chan is currently one of her pregnancy tantrums and she basically kicked out Steve until further notice."
The currently raven just nodded his head in understanding.
And that was before he unleashed Enkidu towards his older counterpart when he tried to take some of his Mango marshmallows.
''Hmm? Who is homicidal enough to swipe the ever present Mango marshmallows?" Rion asked while floating around.
It was no secret that Steven is not addicted to sweets. He barley tolerated cakes unless he knew the one who made them or baked them himself. All of his culinary Teachers are wanting to sink their claws upon him to became their protégé since Steven is a genius in the kitchen.
(Ameryst once commented that Steven had a cloud tendencies when it came to the kitchen. When asked what Cloud tendencies are, Rion answered they are possessive bastards on what they called 'Territory')
So, when Steven accidentally stumbled upon the newly opened Candy shop at Rustburo City, he did not give it a second glance except when Rion drag him inside.
They saw Ms. Shanna buying sweets and trying a new flavored Marshmallows.
And, that's how Steven fell in love with Mango Marshmallows that he usually brought months' worth, to the shock and delight of the Owner.
"The Original World Steven. Well, no one really noticed the placard and I think it's a prank from Sorella. She really wanted to see how Demonic Steven is upon those." Wallace answered, not removing his eyes on is homework.
"No one warned him?"
"No one."
They fully ignored the shouts of mercy echoing the whole Manor.
Later that night, Steve finally meet Steven's parents since he is going to stay for the weekend. To say he was shocked is an understatement.
The HOENN Champion stared for a few seconds before whipping his phone out.
The whole family are keeping their snickers quiet especially when they heard Ameryst's voice on the other line.
"Amu,"
"Oh, hi, Steve! You finally found out?'' the ever cheerful giggles filled the background.
"I hate you, bitch. I already paid my taxes and information, which are more expensive than Mammon's." Steve is definitely pouting. "You just told me that Chibi Wallace is also living here and Harri had a Servant. Nothing about us having a mother . .. two, infact at the same time."
Cattleya caught the hidden meaning and hit her head on the table.
Even Ameryst caught that.
"Oh My Gosh! Oh dear Circe! Steven, I'm sorry! Really! I swear to God it's not my intention to hurt your feelings even you are sometimes a jerk once in a blue moon like that Surge!"
Steve didn't answer verbally but cut off the call.
"Steve, are you okay?" Irisviel asked gently.
"I . ." Steve shook his head, knowing he cannot lie especially upon the presence of Three Psychics. "I will be okay."
Steven looked upon the older male.
"You can ask for both Mama's hug. I knew the feeling of losing a mother even it is temporary." The raven played with his juice. "Even it is a huge shock that your alternate has two Moms."
Steve did not hide his wince.
"My father did not bother to remarry. He is fully devoted to Devon which I inherited. Currently, he is in Alola."
"You do know you are welcome here along your wife." Joseph smiled at Steve. ". . . So, I heard you are a Master of Steel Type . . ."
Steven send his father a grateful smile when Steve immediately went to Professor Mode when the discussion went towards Geology.
The two Stevens gotten into the discussion of Jewel Craft that made Irisviel and Lily rolled their eyes in exasperation.
This boys and their love for Minerals, honestly.

No one anticipated that unleashing the original Steven Stone who is corrupted by the Former Matsunaga Head of House, Dark Carl Matsunaga (Ameryst's uncle in law, damn, the Crystal Clan sure has a BIG family) would activate the dormant Adrenalin Junkie self of Steven (or insane not suicidal stunts).
The HOENN Champion drag his younger self and introduce him to the sport called parkour, much to the horror of Lily. Steve even rope Wallace and Rion.
Well, Steve did cheat especially when he taught the boys more about pokemon using Avalon (Cousin Elina's own Dimension Port).
Kidnapping the boys for two hours especially when they learned they are staying inside for two years, they chased him using both pokemon attacks (Wallace) and their weapons (Steven and Rion).
Steve just let out an evil cackle when none of those even made a scratch on his favorite black and purple suit. His own Metagross hit him upside the head for that especially when he manage to recruit Ashura Satoshi Ketchum-Matsunaga's Pikachu to do the thunder backdrop.

Meanwhile,
Lily landed gracefully behind her old home in Godric's Hollow. Using the bracelet Cattleya created for her, her human form morphed into a brown haired woman with pale blue eyes, wearing a simple robe like dress. She does not need to worry that Remus might smell her since the bracelet also covers her scent.
Here, only three weeks had passed, in oppose of the two years. Hmm, let's see what kind of chaos she had inflicted upon the Sheeple.
Lily made her way towards Leaky Cauldron. Her hood hid her face as she tap the bricks with her finger. The brick wall vanished, revealing the entrance.
"It's been a while . . " she murmured as she take slow steps towards the magical Alley. How she wished she could bring her son but his safety outweighs her wish.
Oh well, her baby boys can visit once they are legal so this idiots cannot manipulate them especially rope them in a Heaven forbid, Marriage Law.
The urge to cackle evilly is so strong that she allowed herself to do it. Much to the horror of the people shopping.
000000000000
Hogwarts Potion Master and Slytherin Head of House Professor Severus Tobias Snape felt a cold shiver of dead run through his spine. The feeling is so strong that he stopped his brewing or else he might blotched them.
"Why do I feel Lily's unholy laugh that makes the Marauders and Albus turned to the other way hearing it?"
0000000000000000000
Steven threw a deadpan look on the window.
"Steven, is there something wrong?" Ms. Shanna asked.
"Nothing, Ma'am. I just felt my mother had one of her insane urge of spreading some Chaos." He answered as he sauté the vegetables he is cooking.
"ah. And Steven?"
"Hmm?''
"I told the class we are just making one dish. Not a nine course meal.''
Steven blinked as he looked on his creation. Like his Teacher said, he manage to create another nine course meal.
"Oh. I blame Sorella for giving me that Anime and recipe books."

Lily spend her time at the ice cream parlor as she waited for the news from her familiars. No one would give a second look upon tiny, oh so tiny bunch of insects. Thank Irisviel for teaching her that.
Speaking of Irisviel, she still cannot believe it. Indeed she spend twenty years of her resurrection alone and most of them are creating ways to take her son away from her magic hating sister. Sure, it did took that long and Lily already accepted that James already moved in after life.
Entering a relationship did not cross her mind. At all, especially when she retrieve her son in the brink of death. Now, she not only have her son happy . . she even gotten herself into a triad relationship with Irisviel von Einzebern and Stratos Joseph Stone. Add to their little family are Wallace and Rion.
A satisfied smile painted her lips thinking of it.
Family. A dysfunctional but nonetheless, a family. Lily knew she would fight tooth and nail in order to preserve them.
"Can I join?"
That jolted her from her reverie. Lily looked upon who spoke and raised an eyebrow as a blonde woman wearing a casual long sleeve sweater partnered with ankle length blue skirt. She looked like an important aristocrat even her hair is tied into twin tails.
"Of course, I do not mind."
The woman hummed and sat in front of her. They are filled with silence until the blonde spoke.
"I've been waiting to finally meet you, Lillian." Lily stiffen in shock. "My name is being cursed by Lady Henrietta a few weeks ago. I am Angelica Ainsworth."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Ainsworth." Lily pulled down her hood.
Sharp blue eyes glance at her appearance and took a bite of her ice cream.
"It's good you hid your very own magical signature and scent. I saw the wolf around the corner earlier. Also, I applaud your spell work on those blasted blood wards. I despair no one could properly cast my own creation."
"Ah, It is tricky but I did manage. How could I have known they are not fueled by magic but instead mana? Even so, I manage thanks for the Mana filled Jewels found in the Potter Vault." Lily smiled. "So, I thank you for helping me save my child, Lady Ainsworth,"
Angelica let out a small smile. "He is my heir after all. Please tell me, how is he now?''
"Happy. Very much." Lily and Angelica went into a massive and overdue girl talk.
Who cares if Angelica Ainsworth is way older than she looks like? At least, she isn't like those stuck up purebloods that looked down to New Bloods like her.
00000000000000000000
The day is rather fruitful, if she say so herself.
Meeting Lily is a wonderful opportunity, Angelica mustered. Exchanging information about her wonderful heir and grandson, the blonde told Lily about the current happenings in the wizarding world.
How the so called Leader of the Light had no clue that his weapon against Voldemort is now gone. It is still on debate whenever they could save Tom Riddle but Angelica won't have her hopes high.
Souls are precious within a reason. Ripping them into tiny pieces creating Horcruxes? Even Magis are not that desperate. Sure, they used Homunculus and Dolls but nothing about Horcrux.
They are called abomination for Alaya's sake!
Oh well, just a few more years and she could join her grandson to burn Magical Britain if he wanted. Yes, she is that bored.
Or . . . hmm why not?
It's been a while since she had pet dog running around. And no, she is not speaking about Julian.
000000000000000000000
Steven's eleventh birthday passed without any owls stalking him. Unlike Wallace, he planned going on a journey on his fourteenth birthday, and challenge the HOENN League once he reached eighteen. That schedule allows him to learn more of Devon Corporation and he is not actually forced by Steve to take it anyway.
Add to the fact that Joseph manage to both knocked up Irisviel and Lily. The red head is now back being one hundred percent human witch by the help of Clein Vie, Ameryst's older brother and the current Life Deity.
He is excited to become a big brother! Even Rion (they usually forgot that he is in fact Gilgamesh) and Wallace are excited to the arrival of the babies. Lily told them that the babies will be raised as twins.
Speaking of Rion, his Golden Rule is currently affecting everyone he likes. He is also a ruthless businessman so when partnered with Steven,. . . .
The Golden Sky duo could easily dispose 'useless and irritating cockroaches' that uses the company for nefarious reasons. Wallace is the one who is the Head of Designs and Presentations. ALL product designs must pass him first before they are use on the products.
Who knows practice of this could help him creating new and improve moves and designs for his Top Coordinator skill?
All of those extra lessons dumped on them by Cattleya (Rion got free, that bastard) bore fruit as Devon is now one of the most sought after companies on all Regions. Sure, they are cheating and abusing the hell of Rion's Golden Rule and Steven's Bloodhound Intuition that According to Ameryst, rival's the Vongola Hyper Intuition.
And because business is booming. . . Company rivals would sometimes. . . send some gifts.
"That was the third for this week." Rion commented as they stuff two Team Rocket grunts (coma) inside a special made body bags. Slap a not so sorry note and port keyed it back to where the hell it came from.
"We should start training the maids for this." Wallace said. The currently Fourteen year old glance on his best friends. "What now? Is your Internship finished, Steven?"
"Yup. I would be leaving for a journey next month, after the twins are born. There is no way I would miss that. Imagine all the blackmails we could gather ~ nyufufufu." Steven rub is hands like a mafia boss.
Both Rion and Wallace rolled their eyes upon the other boy's antics. Sure, they understand that blackmail is a must . . . especially family blackmails.
For example. . .
Hi , Steven! Remember the time you went to Alola and became Stephanie?
Pensives are so darn useful~~!!
After the clean up, they returned home.
"Welcome back, boys!" Irisviel greeted them when the trio entered the dining room. "How's the cleanup?"
"Just useless Mongrels from Kanto, nothing serious." Rion answered. "How's the baby?''
"She just kicked earlier." The heavily pregnant woman smiled. "And we have been driving Joseph crazy.'
"(I am actually surprised he is still sane.)" Blade commented. "(And today, I learned where Steven inherited his possessiveness upon marshmallows.)"
"Blade, drink your coffee." Steven rolled his eyes. "Where's Mama and Dad, anyway?"
The albino smirked.
"Having fun ~~"
"Gaahhhh!! We DO NOT need to know your activities behind closed doors!!" Wallace shouted, remembering one too many times he accidentally walked upon the The Parents having fun.
Even though both Irisviel and Lily are very young looking so is Joseph, HECK, The Stone Patriarch and Steve looks like brothers when ordered to stand beside each other!
"Thank Alaya and ALL the Gods above for soundproof doors and Silencing Charms," Steven added in a deadpan.
"You three are too loud." Rion put his complained too.
"Ara, is that so? But your father has the stamina for it. . ." Irisviel teased.
"TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The maids currently cleaning around giggled as they watched their Young Masters running around. The Manor is much livelier nowadays. They saw that Mistress Irisviel and Master Joseph are very happy since Young Master Steven came along Lady Lily. Having the arrival of Young Master Wallace and Young Master Rion made up the cold atmosphere, making the house into a home.
Now, everyone is waiting for the twins' birth. The Masters of the house made the Nursery themselves near the Master's bedroom. It was painted in sky blues and pink. Wallace and Steven spent their extra time painting the nursery with butterflies and other cute images. Rion was busy recreating a lovely soft glow mobile slash night light.
Magic sure did the hard ones.
Later that night, Midwife and Pediatrician Vanilla Haven came at Stone Manor along her assistant Nurse, Michaela Midford. Since going to the hospital would be a headache especially if the Reporters have gotten a whiff of the twin's birth. Once the news of Joseph and Irisviel adding Lily on their married life, it resulted several mixed reactions. Several people merely raised an eyebrow but many people showed their disgust.
Anyhow, no one cares.
0000000000000000000..
March 27 xxxx, 5 pm is the birthday of the twin girls, Mirasviel Lavander Von Einzbern- Stone, Irisviel's daughter and Emerald Rose Evans Stone, Lily's own daughter.
Mira, oh so cute little Mira is a cute mixture of Irisviel and Joseph. The baby inherited her father's light blue hair and her mother's ruby eyes. While Chibi Emerald had gotten the same black hair as her older brother but with Joseph's eyes.
"You know, I did have a relative with black hair." Joseph commented, wincing as both of his hands almost broke from the very strong hold his wives did. "At least we won't be confused who is who. Now, can I have any pain potion?"
However, the boys are still laughing their ass out.
Two am Earlier,
Everyone in the manor woke up when the alarm sounded. Steven made that so the Maids could alert them if the babies are about to be born.
"Get up! Get up! Get up!" Steven shouted as he pushed Wallace and Rion who are using him as a teddy bear. "Ma's on labor!"
"What?! Already?!" Rion grab their robes and threw it on his best friends.
"Oh my gosh! Let's go!" Wallace ran towards the door as they hurried towards the Master's bedroom.
The door is opened so they could hear the rather. . . colorful language . . both women are saying (read; shouting) at Joseph.
"AAHH! NEXT TIME, you are the one giving birth, Joseph!" – Irisviel.
"Don't come near me, asshole! Or else, I'M SO GOING TO CUT YOUR BALLS!!!" – Lily.
The trio stood by the door in shock before activating the hidden cameras there. Once they closed the door-not fully- they burst out laughing. Their background are the numerous threats the Stone Wives are sprouting out.
Even Dr. Vanilla is laughing. Being a midwife is both frustrating and entertaining especially when this is the case.
"No! This will be the last!"
"Dear, don't say that . . ."
"You are not the one pushing your daughter so shut the hell up!"
Joseph cringe as he heard the faint laughter his boys are doing.
000000000
They are quite happy that the birth almost took twenty hours. Vanilla is puzzled but she is sure that the newly mothers and babies are safe and healthy.
"Mira-chan is a Magus while Emy-chan is a full witch." The LEGAL loli said as she placed the Crystal bracelet on each baby. "Congratulations! Both are healthy bouncing baby! "
Jumping around, the Yoshino look alike stared at Joseph. "Joseph, are you Okay? I know your boys are enjoying your suffering and currently recording this for future laughs but . . .. I had pain potion?"
"One please . . ."
0000000000000000
"You two did not need to do that." Steven said as he gently cradled Mira since Wallace held Emerald.
"My, where is the fun in that? I did that to Kiritsugu when I gave birth to Ilya."
Irisviel giggled as she leaned on the bed along Lily. They had just awaken after a few hours nap.
"As I did to James, with hexes along the way." Lily added.
"Sadist." The boys uttered that made the mothers laughed softly.
"Steven, you are a natural on holding babies. I haven't heard them wailing since you start fussing on them." Rion commented out of the blue.
"Hmm? But Mira and Emy are little angels. Also, they are a few hours old, Rion! Just wait later tonight and the coming sleepless nights." The Stone Heir cackle evilly when both Wallace and Rion paled.
"Gaah, don't remind me!"
"It won't be that bad." Lily took a sip of her water.
"We hope since Steven and Rion are going to their journeys since Rion always needs to be with Steven's side." Joseph reminded them.
"I could still visit since we could use the Vinama to fly here." Steven waved his hand as he put down Baby Mira back to Irisviel's arms to be fed. "Or use my own Keys."
"As long you two would visit at least once a week." Irisviel said as the boys looked away when she unbutton her shirt.
"We will, Mama Iri." Rion shrugged off his shoulders.
"I'm just waiting for my Laptop to be delivered. There is no way I will neglect my education along the way." Steven played with one of his jewels that he pulled from his hair. "So, Wallace, be prepared!"
"Of course, brother. I'm so going to trash you in the Championship Battle!" The green haired male threw a pillow on his best friend. "So, which Region are you going, anyway?"
"Sorella suggested Sinnoh Region. According to her, there is something interesting there." Steven took Baby Emerald who held his finger. "Steve also asked me if I could check Riley Gen, he is his apprentice and friend. He is also an Aura Guardian."
"The last one before a certain brat is born." Rion pulled out a bottle of grape juice. "Any plans for the Ketchum Heir?"
"Nothing yet but Sorella already send some of her minions to protect Ms. Delia. Come on, Ash is fifteen months old."
"Ah, this world's chosen one, eh?" Lily opened her arms. "And . . give me your sister."
The fourteen year old gave his mother an over powered puppy dog eyes.
"Do I really need to?"
"She's not six month old yet. No baby formula. When you are still a baby, I stopped giving you breast milk when you are one." Steven blushed as he gave Baby Emerald to his mother. "I think I shall visit Gringgots or send Cattleya to get your baby pictures."
"YOU DON'T NEED TO!!"
"Black mail! Black mail!" Rion and Wallace chanted before running out of the room.
Both Mothers let out a laugh.
000000000000000000
Two weeks before their journey, Steven's laptop along their watch type Pokedex arrived. He wore the purple one while Rion wore the yellow one (Figures.) Wallace already had his own four years ago since he went on a journey at the standard ten. According to Cattleya, another in law made those along with their Hologram Tablets or Holo-Tab. The said device acts like a cellphone with too many features uploaded to it and . .
Have a built in Porygon which acts as its AI.
Anyways, he happily accepted the Cloak woven by Tita Lorelei, Sorella's mom. It was pure black with feathery edges. The inside is color purple fastened by a silver clasp. He will have the Invisibility Cloak –one of the three Hallows – once he reached his seventeenth birthday. Not that he needed the latter since both cloaks are made by one person.
"Asero, are you excited for our journey?"
Steven asked his now Metagross. On his front left claw is a band with Metagrossnite attached on it.
His first Mega Stone that he spent two years to find until Lily advise him to use his Psychic senses to pin point the stone.
(Steven chased Rion with his arrows when the idiot laughed at his stupidity. Hey, its not his fault NOT using his magic, okay?)
"(I have been waiting, Master.)" Asero's deep voice answered him.
"Please stop calling me Master." Steven rolled his eyes. "Anyway, since we are going to avoid reporters and fan girls, I will be staying at my true form while on the journey. Once we start challenging Gyms, I could be Steven Stone, not Harold Evans."
"(Or you could challenge them via Harold then once the Pokemon League Top Ten, you can reveal who you are.)"
"Hmm, I could but if they learned about my alias . . ." both Pokemon and Trainer shivered in dread.
"(Or maybe not . .)"
No one could really blame Steven. Even Rion pales at the mention of the word 'Fangirl' for Arceus sake!
"On the other hand, everything is ready. Even the Magical tent is here so we won't be hearing any complaints from Rion. I'm so going to raid those Casino's in Sinnoh, nyahahaha." The Psychic/Steel Type rolled his eyes as his Trainer cackle in glee.
Oh, dear . . . Asero knew Steven would rip them off. He knew that Steven and Rion would abuse the hell of their abilities mainly the Hyper Intuition and Golden Rule respectively.
Meeh, who cares? Half of those moneys are being donated to various of Reserves and Orphanages.
Steven had currently four pokemon as of now. Asero, his starter, followed by the cute Aron (Ground/Steel type) name Nora, a Cradilly (Grass/Rock type) and Anorith (Bug/Ground type) the latter two does not want any nickname and been revived from fossils which he had found at Mirage Castle.
(Actually, Steven never intended to go there however when he is studying to create his own Avalon, using the Noah's Arc as the base, it send him towards the ever elusive Castle. Good thing he could battle without any aid of Pokemon or else . . .)
Rion, meanwhile, had three Pokemons available. They are Pyroar (Fire/Dark Type), a Royal Specie of TalonFlame (Fire/Flying type) and his newest and the source of ever teasing Primarina, Alola's water/Fairy type starter.
The blonde Ruler Servant did not want to enter Pokemon League. Like Wallace, he had his eyes on Contests so Steven is so sure he won't need to use the Insurance Lily wired at them. The Stone Heir is almost dub as 'Destroyer of HOENN' as he usually manages to destroy the ARENA.
("At least it's not Assassin of HOENN"- Irisviel commented once)
Like he said, they were ready. The the magical tent is warded by Lily when she went to the Goblins. Steven cannot wait to meet his Mama's favorite Goblin friend, Griphook.
Since Sinnoh Region is a cold place, permanent warming charms is a must on their clothes. Along there stash of junk food and the Immortal Mango Marshmallows.
"I'm going out . . !" Steven called out as he strap his pokebelt on his waist.
"Where are you going, Young Master?" Lyrica, one of the maids asked.
"Fallabor Town. I am just going to buy some Medical Herbs . . . and maybe catch a Steel type there." He answered as he accepted the white jacket given to him and his black baseball cap.
"Does Milady knew you are leaving,?"
"Yes, I told her myself. No need to be worried, Lyrica. I would be gone for a few hours, at least." Steven's hair turned back being a messy black as his light blue eyes became emerald green. Pulling out one of his jewels, the Black Diamond turned into a black and purple flight board.
This board is the pet project the boys along Joseph spend a year to create. Cattleya gave them a blueprint since one of the Crystals already made one. They just paid some copyright issues and sign a waiver that they won't reproduce it for public.
So, invisibility charms is a must.
"Oh, Young Master . ."
"Hmm? Yes, Lyrica?"
" . . . be careful along the way."
Steven smiled on their maid.
"Of course. See you later." By that, he rode his board and went flying.
000000000000000000000000
Fallarbor Town,
"I hope I could catch a Skarmory later," Steven thought as he landed in a hidden part of the forest near the entrance of Fallarbor Town. Flaring his magic a bit, his Flight board shrunk back inside the jewel before pocketing it. Adjusting his jacket, he start his walk towards the Herbal House.
He cannot helped but to notice that the town is strangely quiet. Looking around, he quicken his pace, arriving immediately at his destination.
When he felt . . .that.
"Welcome, young man." Steven flinched. When he turned around, he was greeted by an old man. "Are you feeling well?"
"I will be, Sir." He bowed his head politely as his right hand is placed on his chest. "I am here to buy some medical herbs . ."
"Follow me, Young Lad. Ah, I wish lads these days are as polite as you! Gyahaha!"
Steven threw a glance behind him before following the Shop Owner.
He could swear he felt someone doing a summoning ritual.
A foul one on that.
000000000000000000
Steven did his purchase real quick, not wanting to stay any longer at Fallarbor. His instincts are screaming at him to leave immediately.
LeaveLeaveleaveleave.
Dangerdangerdanger.
"Eliminate the threat, Steven." Stratos told him as he almost sprint towards the entrance of the town.
"This place is giving me creeps! Any clue about this?" Steven's eyes are carefully studying his surroundings.
"Negative, minus the fact it feels like Caster's work. Bluebeard, for example."
"Are you telling me there is a Grail War in here?!"
"Of course not, do not be so dramatic. Sorella would have come personally or Gil if that happened. I just said it feels like a Caster's work, not that they have done it."
Steven took a deep breath.
"Sorry . . " Finally arriving on a hidden alcove, he pulled out his fight board and fled.
While on air, he pulled his Holo-Tab and messaged Ameryst. He would leave the investigation to the professionals.
The said Mistress of Death arrived accompanied by Gilgamesh Alter, her Servant under Ruler Class. Ameryst is donned in her usual black and green dress while Gil is in his armor.
"Steven," she greeted him. "Good choice waiting for reinforcements."
Steven glance on the Town from their location.
"Sorella, Gil. I do not have any choice. It would be reckless of me if I go headfirst upon danger."
Gil studied the Fallarbor Town, allowing a burst of prana to caress the place. He immediately pin pointed the anomaly.
"Found it. Did someone tried to stole a shard of the Corrupted Grail?"
"Not in my knowledge, at least." Ameryst admitted as she brandish her pure white rapier.
Irisviel- the weapon's name's seven colored chamber whirled in life when she pulled the hidden trigger. The main chamber stop at the blue dust chamber as several runes are drawn upon its blade.
Both Steven and Gil watched as several baby blue glyphs encircled the whole town. They are not worried someone might saw them because they are too high to be noticed. Each glyph gathered the place's natural magic (Aura) and charged itself.
Ameryst twirled and then slammed the rapiers' pointed blade on the magical circle she is standing.
Like watching a glass dome broke, spider web cracks appeared into the thin air. Each crack grew until the Bounded Field (Ward) shattered completely.
Steven felt his breathing return to normal.
"That was it. We will place several talismans so this won't be happening again." Ameryst spoke. "That felt like Blood ford of Andromeda, by the way. No servant in Hoenn as far as I knew, minus Rion, of course. Also, be careful, Steven. I heard from Zelretch that a shard of the tainted grail from my home world is missing."
"I will keep an eye on that, Sorella. What shall I do if we encounter it?"
"Call me immediately, of course. Never touch it. That's all for now."
"Understood."
"And stay away from trouble, Potter." Gil added.
"Che!" two indignant looks are send on his person. "Trouble always finds ME!!"
The Alternate just rolled his eyes.
000000000000000000000000
"Mooh, Gil is an idiot . . ! Grr…" Steven grumbled under his breath as he now continued his flight back home. Scratching his messy hair, "Looks like catching a Skarmory is out now . . ."
"(Hah, like I would go without a fight, human!)"
The Stone heir froze for a moment before slowly, oh so slowly turned his head on is left.
Flying beside him is a Skarmory.
"S-Skarmory?"
He could swear the steel/flying type rolled its eyes.
"(That's my species name, human. And you are the only one who could understand me.)"
"That was given since I am a magic user . . . Psychic in your language." Steven halted. "May I battle you?"
Skarmory let out a high pitched wail before moving a few feet away from him, eager for a challenge.
"Looks like that's my cue, go, Asero!" Steven grabbed and enlarged Asero's pokeball and released his friend.
The grayish blue steel/psychic type uttered his name before locking his ruby eyes upon Skarmory.
"(Ah, finally. A challenge, at last.)" Asero glance his Trainer/ friend. "(Potter Luck strikes again?)"
"I think so," The Stone Heir shrug his shoulders.
Skarmory had enough of chic chat and immediately let out an impressive flamethrower,
"Dodge, confuse ray."
Asero flew out of the way and fired a Confuse Ray which Skarmory avoided.
The Steel Bird let out a pair of tornado.
"Dodge then Pursuit! Follow by Zen Headbutt!"
Asero vanished and appeared behind Skarmory. Using Pursuit made it easier as he hit the bird point blank with Zen Headbutt.
Skarmory let out a pained thrill before firing a point blank Hyper Beam.
"PROTECT! Asero!" Steven shouted just in time Asero raised up his shield. "Sucker Punch!"
Asero used Teleport to move beside Skarmory. With a well-aimed punch, the Steel bird fainted.
"(Steven!)"
The young man immediately threw a pokeball towards the fallen pokemon who is immediately caught. Asero used Psychic to catch the said ball.
"Mooh, no catching Pokemon twenty feet above sea level." Steven accepted Skarmory's ball. "You did well, Asero. Thank you."
"(You're welcome, Young Master.)"
"Stop calling me Master!"
"(Of course . . . Master.)"
"Asero!!"

The weeks immediately passed. Steven and Rion left Mossdeep City and arrived at Sinnoh via Private Plane that Rion owned. They would gladly used the Vinama but Joseph told them not to since he caught some rumors that a new Team is moving around the region.
If it was Team Galactic, they have no clue since according to Cattleya, Ash met them when he was fourteen.
Like promised, Steven and Rion visits every Sunday night for dinner. They do not want to really miss the twins.
They are just one Vinama away, after all.
As promised, Steven ruthlessly disseminated the Gym Leaders, much to the amusement of Irisviel and Lily while Joseph just pulled him in a corner and basically beg his son to STOP DESTROYING THE GYM for Arceus sake!
Now, Steven had five badges. Since there is still five months before the Pokemon League and he is only short of three badges which he could picked out later. . .
Time to visit Riley Gen.
