Ch 88 News to the Family

Both Helena and Steven sat in her Lab, both were sweating and nervous. Sitting before them was N, who had a deeply displeased expression on his face. "Run this by me again, how exactly did this happen?" The green-haired trainer asked the two, glaring at them with piercing eyes.

"U-Um…it kinda…happened…hahahaha…ah…" Steven stopped laughing, seeing N wasn't amused. "But hey! At least you two get more members of your Family, right?" He smiles, trying to help the situation.

Helena leans to his Boyfriend's ear, whispering to him. "(Steven, I don't think that's helping us one bit.)" She said to him,

Steven turns to his Girlfriend, seeing if she has any good ideas to turn this around. "(Hey, I'm trying here. Your Brother scares the shit out of me when he's like this!)" He whispers back, still feeling N's glare piercing through him.

Helena sighs, turning to face the green-haired trainer. "N, don't give Steven that face. I get that you want to protect me, but Steven isn't that bad-"

"Not another word from you Helena. You're not innocent in this too; the fact remains that he laid his hands on you." N stated, looking at Steven who flinched. "As for you, outside. Now." He stood up, turning to the glass door leading to the backyard/Battlefield.

Once N left the Laboratory, Steven gave a long sigh of relief. "That was something, I don't think our ripped-the-bandage-off quick plan is working, Ellie." The Champion looks over to his Girlfriend, still feeling the anxiety in his stomach.

Helena gently patted Steven's shoulders, smiling at him. "Steven, of course, N would not take the news lightly." She looks at her Brother, now standing on the porch with Zoroark beside him. "He's just acting out because you and I had sex without his knowing for this long."

Steven looks at the back, seeing both N and Zoroark glaring at him. "Acting out is mildly putting it a nice way to describe him." He stated, seeing the two are losing patience outside. "Hey, Ellie?"

"Yes, Steven?" Helena asked, blinking at the Hoenn Champion.

"Tell our Child that I love them," Steven gulps, standing up to face the upcoming Storm that is N.

Helena sighs, feeling another mood swing coming. "STEVEN! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE!" She shouted angrily at him before getting up to get something to eat.

N stood on the porch of his Home with his Partner beside him. He gazes upon the yard where many of his and Helena's Pokemon reside, resting under the Sun or playing with each other.

Zoroark looks at his Partner, sensing his conflicted feelings about the situation. He taps his arm, gaining his attention.

"Zoroark…" N smiles, appreciating his concern. He reaches out, petting his head. "Thank you, Zoroark, but I don't think forgiving him for what he did to Helena. He has hindered her ability to do her research…" He looks down, thinking about the Child Helena is carrying.

"Helena and Steven conceiving a Child…" N is well aware that carrying a Child is very risky, especially when….

"N, what is it you want to talk about with me?" Steven enters the porch, feeling nervous like he's meeting Helena's Father for the first time.

N turns around as Zoroark joins him, "Steven, you really are a fool." He said, seeing Steven remaining steadfast. "Do you know the risk you put on Helena when you got her Pregnant?" He asked her.

"I'm aware of the risks, both me and Helena talk it out and-"

"No, I'm talking about when the time comes for the Child to come into this World," N said, his voice serious as ever, his eyes staring at the Hoenn Champion.

Steven froze, feeling nervous suddenly when N told him about the risk Helena and their Child encountered when it was time for the Birth. "What do you mean." He asked, wanting to know the risk.

N sighed, looking at Steven, and told him about the risk Helena was in. "Helena is an Ability User, as such the unborn Child will be an Ability User." He informed Steven what to expect when the Child was born. "Upon the Birthdate, the Mothers will be in tremendous pain, unlike regular Births. More so if they don't have the proper preparations for the delivery,"

Steven looks at the former King of Team Plasma. "How do you know this, N?" He asked him,

"I had some experience and knowledge of the Physiology of Ability Users before I met Helena. Both our Sisters and I were raised to understand the Ability User by our…Caretaker." N explains to the Champion of Hoenn his background. "This includes the threats that pose them."

Steven looks down, seeing N wasn't lying. "I-I didn't know…Ellie…" He closes his eyes, not realizing that he has placed Helena in danger,

Then Steven remembered what the former King said. He looks at him, having spoken some keywords. "N, you said that both you and your Sisters know what to do when an Ability User is about to give birth?" He asked,

N looks at Zoroark, not understanding Steven's point. "That's right, but what are you implying, Steven?" He asked the Champion before it clicked in his head. "Now I see…."

Steven smiles, he won't lose his Family that easily. He's determined to keep both Helena and their Child. He held his hand towards N, "Let's put everything aside for Helena's sake and their survival,"

Not wanting to lose his Sister, he obliges to the Hoenn Champion's suggestion. "Alright, if it means Helena's sake, I'll put my animosity towards her." He shook Steven's hand, both working together to ensure Helena stays alive during the Birth.

Unaware of the Men, Helena overheard their conversation near the Kitchen window. "The Baby's at risk?" Helena frowns, holding her heart.

"Kirlia?" Helena paused, looking over to Kirlia. "Kirlia, Kirl…"


Helena walks over to her Partner, petting her head. "I'm going to make a call, can you keep those two busy?" She asked her Partner, heading to the living area to make a call.

Helena sat on the couch, taking out her Rotom Phone and calling someone to talk to. She dialed the number and her Phone began to ring. Soon the Person that she was trying to call picked up. "Yes? Helena, is that you?" An elderly Woman answered the call.

The young Professor smiles, hearing the voice of someone she can relate to and might help. "Yes, Opal; I know it's a sudden call, but I kinda-"

"Need advice? I'm glad to give some, my Child." Opal replied from the other end of the line.

"More or less, I just want to ask you about something on Ability Users, Opal," Helena said, correcting her sentence,

Opal nodded, happy to answer any questions she might have. "Of course, now what do you wish to know?" The Fairy-type Gym Leader asked the young Ability User.

Helena took in a deep breath before saying the thing she wanted to know. "Let's say an Ability User gets pregnant, what are the risks of the pregnancy?" She asked,

"Oh…oh my…now that's a serious topic, dear," Opal answered, her tone of voice indicating how serious the answers could be. "For starters, giving Birth to an Ability User can put a lot of strain on the Mother. It's not the fact that giving Birth is the problem; but the Child itself."

"The Child will definitely be an Ability User; on the Ability I'm not too sure. Every Ability User is unique in their own way." Opal explains before continuing with her explanation. "In any case, for both the Child and Mother to survive, both of you need to be as Healthy as you can be. No stressful situations and the important part, no participating in Pokemon Battles. I'm sure you can understand why, my dear." She said, hinting that she knows.

Helena nodded, placing her hand on her stomach. "Yes, yes I do, Opal." She said, now concerned for both her and the Baby, more so for the Baby. "Thank you for answering my question, Opal." She said, appreciating the former Witch.

Opal smiles from the other end, "I'm glad I was able to help, Helena. Please take care of yourself," She said, hoping for the best for Helena.

Helena ended the call, leaving her alone to her thoughts. "…"

Fidough came over, jumped onto the couch, and sat next to his trainer's side. He barks, trying to comfort the young Professor.

"Fidough," Helena smiles, petting the Fairy-type Pokemon. "I'm fine, just concerned about the Baby, that's all." She said, petting Fidough thinking about the Future of her Baby.

A few weeks passed since she found out Helena was pregnant. Though both she and Steven know the risk she is at when the time comes.

However, that didn't stop her from doing her Job as a Professor. During the weeks, she has written up a Paper describing the Mural both she and Steven found. After observing the Pokemon of Hisui on her break and studying a bit of Evolution for Class.

Helena made a connection, and with the help of Wallace, he was able to send her an image of the Mural in Sootoplis City. She compared the two Photos and concluded that the Pictures were the same,

From there, she wrote about how Pokemon, including Legendary Pokemon, have original forms different from the Modern ones. Unlike many others who wrote about how Pokemon once had original forms, she wrote a process for them. She calls this process Evolution Adaptation; a process that Pokemon overgo when their original environment is no longer suitable for them to thrive.

She then supports it by sharing her theory that Groudon and Kyogre once had original forms based on the Mural in Granite Cave. A theory that was greatly supported by Professor Ceder's Research on the Orbs on Mt. Pyre, sharing the same Symbols on both the Legendary Pokemon and the Orbs.

That Paper gained much attention to her, many wish to interview. However, both N and Professor Ceder refused those asking for an interview mainly because N and Helena told Adam about how she was expecting a Child.

Professor Ceder understands and makes it his duty to prevent any stress that befalls her.

With all that was going on due to her paper, Helena and Steven hardly had time to even tell his Parents. They have to rectify that issue, by making time to meet with them.

Helena dressed up in a nice red shirt with a beige dress that reached to her knees with brown boots. She placed her hair in a ponytail that hung over her shoulder, "Alright," She looked down at Kirlia and now her recently evolved Sylveon.

Helena has plenty of time since N and Adam took over most of the chores in their House. The only thing she could do was to tend to the Pokemon, Eevee happened to enjoy the grooming session eventually she liked it so much that she Evolved into Sylveon. "How do I look, you two?"

"Kirlia, Kirlia," Kirlia smiles, approving the dress her Partner has.

"Sylveon, Slyv," The new Fairy-type Pokemon nodded, agreeing with her fellow Pokemon.

Helena smiles, not needing N's Ability to understand them. "Thank you, the both of you." She said to her Partners, turning to the mirror once more to look at her abdomen.

Her stomach was getting bigger, her Baby was growing. She smiles before heading out of the room.

She walks down from her room, with both Kirlia and Sylveon by her side. They went down to the second-floor Living room where N and Steven were waiting for her.

The young Professor saw N talking to Steven about something. She could only assume it had to do with the Birth.

Steven turns around, he wears a nice light grey button shirt, navy blue jeans, and dress shoes. "Ellie," He smiled at her arrival, then blushed at what Helena was wearing. "You look beautiful in that dress," Steven said,

"Thank you, Steven. You as well, you look Handsome in your clothing." Helena smiles, feeling extremely happy all of a sudden due to her Mood Swings.

N gave a little cough, causing both Helena and Steven to flinch. "Helena, don't you two have something to do? Like a dinner with two People?" He reminds the couple about their plans for tonight.

Helena nodded, smiling at N. "Thank you for the reminder, N," She said to him. Lately, both he and Steven were getting along nicely, N often greeted Steven whenever he visited the Laboratory.

N and his Zoroark watch as Steven and Helena get into Steven's Car, heading to the Stone Mansion.

The Dark-type Pokemon looks at his Partner, seeing him going back inside the Lab. "Zoroark, I'm going to call someone that might help with the Birth…" The green-haired trainer said,

Zoroark nodded, understanding what this meant. He merely nodded, following him back inside.


Driving to the Stone Mansion, Steven gently drove the car. He turns to Helena who is looking out the side window. "Nervous about meeting my Parents?" Steven asked Helena, seeing her gaze out.

"A bit," Helena admitted, turning to Steven. "We are going to tell the both of them about my pregnancy. I know that you said that they would disappointed at first, but the thought of it…makes me a bit nervous." She said, placing her hand on her abdomen.

Steven smiles, turning on a turn to his Girlfriend wanting to labiate her worries. "Don't worry, Helena. My Parents already love you to bits, asking me when's the next time I bring you over." He stated, being asked by them countless times before.

"Besides, I'll be there with you to talk things over." The Steel-blue haired Champion said, ensuring her that he'd be with her all the way. "I know my Parents better than anyone else, plus I got a gift for the two of them to celebrate after the whole irresponsible stuff is taken care of."

Helena sighs, shaking her head at him. "You really are a dork, you know that?" She commented.

Steven couldn't help but respond to her statement. "But I'm your dork," He gave a smirk.

The young Professor smiles; couldn't help but laugh and feel reassured already. "Okay, I think I'm ready to meet your Parents…for I think the third time already…" Helena ponders, thinking how many times they have met already. "Huh, I thought it would be more."

"Does meeting my Mother at the Pokemart count?" Steven asked, hearing about how every visit to the Pokemart.

"No, that is what I consider a coincidence," Helena said as they started to turn left.

The Car continued to travel up the road until the reached the Gates of the Stone Mansion. Just when they're about to enter through the Gates, a strange young Man with split-colored hair of indigo and grey stands at the Gates.

"Steven, who's that?" Helena asked her Boyfriend,

Steven slowly stops his Car, arriving next to the Gates. "It's Amethio, one of Chairwoman Blanche's Elite Police Force. Team Mystic," He said, turning around to Helena. "Ellie, stay here. This must be something about the Pokemon League."

Helena nodded, watching as Steven left the Car and headed over to the Amethio. She watches as he and Steven speak, from what she observes; it's something important.

Soon enough their talks ended, seeing Amethio called out a large black metal Bird and took off. Steven walked back to his Car, entering inside with a concerned expression. "Is something the matter, Steven?" She asked.

"Just some small skirmishes with a group wearing Red and Blue uniforms. But it's nothing that Officer Jenny and Team Mystic couldn't handle." Steven said, driving to the Gates to his Family's Home.

The Car entered the Stone Family Mansion, and as soon as they parked where the rest of the Cars were.

Steven got out of the Car first, assisting Helena from her seat. "Thank Steven." She thanked him before they went to the back.

The Champion walks to the trunk of his Car, popping it open to take some small presents. "Are you certain that these presents are okay to give?" Helena asked Steven, carrying both Gifts for his Parents.

"Of course, plus it's a perfect gift to surprise the both of them." Steven gave a charming smile to his Girlfriend who merely smiled back.

"You're always filled with surprises, Steven," Helena said, her eyes caught the Stone Family's Butler, Sebastian standing at the door with two Maids.

The Maids and Sebastian bowed to Steven and Helena, "Welcome, young master, Lady Potter. We weren't expecting you two to visit the Mansion." The black-haired Butler greeted the two.

Steven walks up to his Family's Mansion with Helena, standing before his Butler. "Hello, Sebastian, I know it's sudden but I figured it's nice to drop in once in a while to meet with Mother and Father." He said to him.

"Of course, I'm glad you took some of your time to visit, young master." Sebastian looks at Helena, smiling at her. "As for you, Lady Potter, I'm happy you also decided to visit. The mistress would be happy to see you."

Helena nodded, "Thank you, Sebastian. I'm happy to be given the chance to talk with Lydia." The pregnant trainer said, expressing her excitement in her way.

Just when Sebastian was about to welcome the Couple into the Mansion, the doors suddenly opened by Lydia. "Stevie! You're Home!" She ran over to her Son, bringing him into a Beartic hug.

"M-Mother!" Steven's cheeks blushed red, being wrapped around in her arms.

Helena giggles, and her eyes notice that Steven's ears are also red. 'Did Steven's ears turn red before?' She thought before seeing Lydia eyeing her.

Lydia smiled, letting go of her Son, and came over to Helena. "Helena, how are you? It's been too long since we've talked one-on-one." The white-haired Woman said, hugging her.

"I know, I'm excited just thinking about it," Helena responded, realizing her pregnancy hormones were getting to her.

Lydia lets go of Helena, stepping back to see the young couple. "Come, come, both Joesph and I were about to have dinner." She invited the two into her home.

Steven held onto Helena's hand and followed his Mother into the Mansion.


Unknown Area in Hoenn

In a dark office space, a red-haired Man sat at his desk with two red-hooded Personals standing beside him. The red-haired Man looks at the Person sitting before him, his face emotionless as he begins to speak. "I called you here because of your personal…vendetta with our target." He said.

"Target?" A voice asked the red-haired Man. "What do you want me to do?"

The red-haired Man held a printed pile of paper in his hand, placing it before her. "This Paper contains Research that is vital to our goals. However, it seems like she's yet to discover the how of an important aspect in a major part of our plan." He said, looking at the Girl. "I need you to spy on her and report if she found a way to secure the key to our success. Can you do this, young Lady for Team Magma?" He asked.

The Girl smiles, standing up and agreeing with the request of the Leader of Team Magma. "Of course, after all…"

"Helena Potter will pay for what she did. Leader Maxie," She smiles, accepting the mission made by Team Magma.
