AN: So currently brainstorming on how Hermione and Helena are going to meet and come up with one idea I like the most. One with new pairings with Hermione and when they reunite. If anyone asks about Sirius, I plan for Diantha to be the pairing. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

Ch 102 Back to Mossdeep City

Arriving at Lilycove City, Steven and Helena parked near the Docks where a Ferry will take them to Mossdeep City.

Steven assisted his Girlfriend out of the Car before retrieving their Luggage from the back. "Are you sure you don't need any help?" The Hoenn Champion looks at Helena standing on the sidewalk.

Helena watched as the now blonde Champion took two Luggage from the trunk before taking his other two Luggage from the back. "How about I get a cart for you to put our Luggage on," She said, feeling terrible letting him take care of everything.

"No, no, I'll handle it, Ellie," Steven said, trying to carry the four Luggage himself. He could use Metagross or any of his Pokemon, however his Pokemon was well known throughout the Region.

Asking them to assist him,(Even though they're willing to lend a helping hand), it'll be risky if anyone recognizes them.

Helena sighed, seeing that Steven was being protective over her. "Steven, let me at least get you a cart." She said, being stern about it.

The Hoenn Champion continued to struggle with the Luggage, dropping one or two of them. Steven gave a light chuckle, looking at his Girlfriend. "Y-Yeah…Ellie…"

"I'll get a cart." Helena smiles, walking over to the car dispenser to grab a cart.

Steven placed the two Luggage onto the curve before placing the ones he dropped on the road. He looks at the Ocean, seeing Pelippers and Wingulls flying over the Water, he chuckles, combing his blonde hair at how Helena was taking charge.

'Ellie, no matter what, you always know what's right.' Steven thought, chuckling to himself. Making sure Helena wasn't in sight, he took out a small box in his Luggage, opening it up to reveal a silver ring with a small diamond at the center, "And I'm sure this decision is the right one…" He said, working on the details of how to ask her.

Soon enough, Helena returned with a Luggage Cart pushing over to where Steven and their baggage were. "Steven, I'm back and got one large cart to fit everything." The red-haired Professor informed her Boyfriend.

"Great," Steven took two Luggage and placed them on the cart. "I'll just put these on it and be on our way to the Ferry." The Hoenn Champion said, continuing to put the remaining two

Helena nodded, looking at the end of the Pier, where People and their Pokemon going onto the many Ferries docked on the Pier. "Steven, did we buy the tickets to go on the Ferry?" She asked before the Champion responded.

Steven, now holding the Luggage Cart looks at Helena, responding to her question. "Father and Mother have arranged for someone to meet us here before we go to Mossdeep City." The Hoenn Champion explains.

"Is it the Housekeeper?" Helena asked, already informed about it when they were on the road. "I'm aware that they'll be staying with us at the Vacation House,"

"Yes, Guilia has been with the Family for years. She's a kind and hard-working Person, I'm sure you'll like her," Steven smiles, walking next to Helena as they walk to the Ferry Terminal.

Helena smiles, nodding to Steven's comment. "I can't wait to meet Guilia, the way you describe her you make her sounds lovely." The black-haired Woman said,

Steven nodded, confirming what Helena said. "She is, and speaking of Guilia, she's over there sitting on the bench." The Hoenn Champion points to a middle-aged Woman with pink hair tied in a hairband, a floral purple flannel shirt, and jeans.

"Guilia!" Steven called out to the pink-haired Woman turned her head, hearing the disguised Champion calling her.

Helena saw the Woman standing up once she laid eyes on them. She smiles, making her way over to them. "Good Heavens, is that you, young master?" Gulia smiles, greeting Steven after so long. "My goodness you've grown since the last time I've seen you."

Steven smiles at his Family's Housekeeper greeting them. "It's nice to see you again, Guilia. You still look the same as ever." The now blonde Champion said,

Giulia turns to the red-haired Professor, hearing about her from Lyda and Joseph about her. "This must be your Girlfriend People are talking about," The pink-haired Woman said, giving a kind greeting, "It's so nice to meet you finally,"

The pink-haired Woman placed her hand on her chest, "My Name is Giulia Allegro, I work as the Housekeeper for the Stone Family's Vacation Home." Giulia introduced herself to the next Mistress of the Stone Family.

"A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Allegro-"

"Please, call me Giulia since you're going to marry the young master, it's only right to address me by my First Name," Giulia informed the black-haired Professor.

"R-Right, a pleasure to meet you, Giulia." Helena corrected herself, calling the Housekeeper by her First Name.

-ZZZ- Attention, the Ferry to Mossdeep City will depart from Lilycove City in five minutes. Passengers with tickets to Mossdeep City, please make your way to Dock Three for departure. Thank you -ZZZ- The PA announced to the People at the Docks.

Steven and the two Women heard the announcement, prompting him to look at them. "I guess that announcement is meant for us." The Hoenn Champion commented.

Giulia nodded, seeing the young master was correct. "Indeed, young master. Come, we better make it to the Dock before they'll leave us here." The pink-haired Housekeeper said, motioning for the young Couple to the Ferry.

The Couple agreed, following Giulia through the crowded Pier and headed to the Ferry. They bought tickets at the Terminal for their fair and boarded the Ferry.

Giulia has led them to a private quarters so the young Couple could rest after a long journey to Lilycove City. In fact, the pink-haired Woman ensured that their trip went smoothly.

Eventually, after an hour of Sea travel, the Ferry arrived at the Ports of Mossdeep City. Inside the Private Quarters, Helena's head was resting on Steven's shoulder.

-ZZZ- Attention to all Passengers, please prepare your belongings. We'll be docking at Mossdeep City's Port in five minutes. -ZZZ- The PA announced to the entire Ferry.

Steven looks at Giulia, standing up from the seat. "Young master, I'll be right back. I'm going to make a quick call." Giulia explains to the Hoenn Champion,

The blonde Champion nodded, understanding what the pink-haired Woman was doing. "Right, we'll be here," Steven said, watching their Housekeeper leave their compartment.

Looking to the side, Steven smiles nudging Helena to wake her. "Ellie, wake up." He softly said, "We'll be docking soon," The Champion said,

Helena stirs, fluttering her Emerald green eyes. "Hmm…we're here already?" She asked her Boyfriend, getting off from his shoulder.

"We're just about to dock at the Pier," Steven explains to his Girlfriend, "Giulia went out for a bit to call our contact once we get to the Pier." He explained what was going on while she was asleep.

"We're at Mossdeep City already? The last time we went to Mossdeep City, it was a bit longer." The red-haired Professor commented, remembering her Journey when she was younger.

Steven chuckles, smiling at his Girlfriend. "That's because the waters were a bit rougher at that time. It's a sign for a Storm, remember?" The Champion asked, reminding Helen what the rough Waters meant in Hoenn.

Helena nodded, remembering what all Hoenn Citizens knew. "That's right, It must've slipped my mind," She chuckles, "Thank you for reminding me, Steven."

"I don't blame you, you've been preoccupied with things that simple things might've slipped your mind." The blonde Champion commented, smiling softly at Helena. He then stands up, seeing the end of a Pier at the window. "We're nearing the Pier, don't move yet."

"Of course," Helena watches as Steven grabs hold of their Baggage, taking them from the rack.

Giulia returned to the compartment after making a quick call. "Young master, Finn is waiting at the Terminal Entrance with the Car." The pink-haired Woman informed the young master of the Stone Family,

Steven, finishing bringing down their Luggage from the rack above acknowledges Giulia's words. "Thank you for telling us, Giulia. If you don't mind, would you tell Finn that we'll be out in a few minutes?" He asked their Housekeeper.

"Of course," Giulia replied, returning to her Rotom Phone to contact their Driver to relay what Steven told her.

Helena looks up at her Boyfriend, "Steven, I can help you carry our Luggage." She said, seeing he was about to deny her help, "It's only when we get off the Ferry and into the Terminal. Plus Giulia is here to carry the Second Baggage," She said, explaining what she had in mind to Steven.

Steven sighs, knowing that Helena won't take no for an answer. "Okay, let's wait for Giulia, Ellie." He said, going with whatever Helena decides.

After waiting for a few minutes, Giulia returned after the Phone Call. The Couple asked the Housekeeper to assist them with their Luggage, which she obliged.

The three got off the Ferry and retrieved a Luggage-Cart to push around the Terminal.

They walked out of the Ferry Terminal where they saw a black mini-van parked just in front of the Entrance. Standing at the side door was a young brown-haired Man wearing a blue flannel shirt and khaki pants with sandshoes. Beside him was a Cicada-like Pokemon hovering next to him.

"Is that guy with the Ninjask the one you're talking about? Finn, right?" Helena asked Steven who turned to listen to her.

"Yes, that's Finn. He's the Security Guard at the Vacation House whether we're there or not." Steven explains, confirming what Helena suspects. He turns to face Finn, waving at him, indicating that they're set.

Finn nodded, heading to the back, and opened the trunk for them to place their Luggage. Upon approaching the Vehicle, Finn and Steven immediately place their belongings on the back of the Van.

Helena and Giulia watched as Ninjask lifted the Third Baggage while his trainer placed them in the back. "I feel like we should be helping them." She commented, watching the Men.

"Helena, you're in no shape to assist the Boys. I admire your eagerness to help but consider your Children inside of you." Giulia said, understanding the type of Person Helena was.

"I know, I just want to help out in any way possible," Helena said, feeling like almost everyone was doing everything for her.

Giulia saw the dissatisfaction on her face with what was going on. She ponders for a moment before having an idea to give Helena something to help her in the slump she is in. "Miss, how about you help me in the Kitchen for supper?" The pink-haired Housekeeper asked.

"My Partner is Home doing the preparations for it, it'll be quicker if we have some more help in the Kitchen." Helena smiles, seeing an opportunity to do something instead of lounging around, (Not that is bad she lounges around in the Stone Mansion.)

Steven looks at Helena talking to Giulia about tonight's Dinner. He smiles, knowing that Helena was itching for something to do since she stayed in his Family's Home.

Pretty much the entire premise was already taken care of due to the Maids and Butlers. Helena was like him, she wanted to do things on her own.

'It's good that Giulia has offered her to help her. If I did something for her again then I will surely get scolded…' Steven said, knowing that Helena wasn't just out of the Woods with her Hormones.

"Sir, we've packed everything in the trunk. We're ready to leave for the House." Finn informed the blonde Champion, standing next to his Partner.

"Ninjask," The Bug/Flying-type nodded, turning to the four Luggage packed at the back.

Steven nodded, acknowledging his Family's Security Guard before looking at Helena and Giulia. "Ellie, Giulia, everything is packed at the back. We're ready to leave,"

"Okay," Helena responded as Giulia helped her inside the Van with Steven following behind.

The Van departed from the Ferry Terminal and drove on the roads of Mossdeep City. Through the drive, Helena checks her Rotom Phone for any updates on anything.

Helena's eyes widen, seeing an interesting Email from a close Friend. She opened the Email, reading what was within it. "Oh…so this is interesting…" The red-haired Professor commented, reading the Email.

"Hmm? What is it, Ellie?" Steven looks at his Girlfriend, placing his arm over her shoulders. His eyes gaze over to her Rotom Phone,

"Wyscan has Emailed me, currently they have recently done a new study in Blueberry Academy in the Unova Region," Helena told Steven what her fellow Researcher sent her. She smiles at him, explaining it further. "He told me that they have four Terrariums for their Students to study Pokemon Environments and due to the events with Team Plasma, they're even doing some Research on Ability Users and their effects on Pokemon."

Steven nodded, finding it interesting that now the Science Community is researching Ability Users after many Years. "So the Study is about Ability Users…I thought some Researchers were already researching that topic." The Hoenn Champion ponders,

Helena understands where Steven was asking. "Well, sure there are a few Researchers who Studied Ability Users, but what the Academy is doing is gathering Students, both Ability Users and Normal Students, and comparing how Pokemon interacts between them." She said before continuing. "Wyscan wanted me to know if I was interested in seeing how the Blueberry Academy operates."

"I see…I'm curious what the Academy Research would lead to." The Champion commented, getting curious about how Ability Users since he met Helena and her Siblings.

Steven, during his breaks at the League, went to the League's Records, studying whatever he could about Ability Users, since N told him that his Sons were going to be Ability Users. He wanted to be prepared in case anything happens that could harm them if their Abilities go amok.

"To be honest here, it's interesting that there's an Academy that is focused on the Study of Ability Users," Helena said, smiling at the potential this could bring. "If this Study means anything, then it might bring a new course in Trainer Schools,"

The Hoenn Champion chuckles, seeing the enthusiasm Helena has on an Ability Course in the Trainer School. "I'm sure if you go to Professor Ceder and the Headmaster about adding a Course for Ability Users then they'll sure agree to it," Steven suggested to her.

Helena took a moment to think about the suggestion Steven gave. She smiles, happy at the thought of adding a Course like that. "Maybe I will."

Steven smiles, happy to be some sort of help to his Girlfriend. "Glad that I could be of help," He said, pulling Helena closer to him.

The two looked out the window seeing the scenery of Mossdeep City, a City similar to Lavaridge Town. At the center of the Mossdeep were Skyscrapers but not as grand as Evergrande City or Rustboro, mainly due to the large Field for the Space Center at the edge of the Island.

Next to the Center was a large Dome Structure with the Pokemon League Logo plastered at the central front.

They were driving on the roads, leading to a suburban area with Japanese Style Housing Similar to Lavaridge City. Helena noticed that they were heading a bit further away from the suburbs and into a more secluded area.

This area of Mossdeep Island was filled with Wild Pokemon Habitats and Rich Families Housing.

Soon enough, the Van stopped at a traditional Hoenn Gate from Ancient times. Seeing the Gate open upon arrival, Helena has a glimpse of the place she and Steven are staying.

"Wow…this House is beautiful," Helena commented, seeing a large one-floor Japanese-style building. The Walls were beige, and the roof was dark color, simple and yet elegant.

Helena turns to Steven who smiles at what she said. "So this is the place where your Family spends your Vacations at." The red-haired Woman commented, turning her eyes to the well-kept gardens and lawn.

"Yeah…I have a lot of fond memories of this place when I was younger." Steven commented, couldn't help but reminisce about the Past with his Parents and Metagross when he was Beldum.

Giulia overheard what the next Head of the Stone Family said to Helena. "Lady Helena, just letting you know that Lady Lydia and master Joseph have Photos of the young master when he was a Child hanging on the walls." The pink-haired Housekeeper informed the young Professor.

Helena's eyes widen, catching what Giulia said. "Oh? Lydia has shown me a few of Steven's Baby Photos when I was staying at the Mansion." The young Professor gazes over to Steven, seeing him blushing at the mention of his remaining Baby Photos being kept in the Vacation Home. "I would love to see some more," She looks at Steven, looking away from her.

"I-If you're eager to see some of my Baby and Childhood Photos, then…I don't mind showing you some, Ellie." Steven said, scratching the side of his cheeks.

"You will? Thanks, Steven." Helena smiles at his offer.

Steven never shown anyone his Baby and Childhood Photos before, even to his Friends when he was attending Trainer School. However, when it comes to Helena, he couldn't possibly refuse her.

Giulia and Finn smiled at the interaction between the Champion and Professor, finding them adorable.

The Van parked in the Driveway, allowing everyone to get out of the Vehicle. Steven helped Helena out of the Van as Giulia and Finn took down their Luggage.

Helena took a deep breath, smelling the Ocean air once more. She then smiles, reaching into her pockets.

"Ellie? What are you doing?" Steven asked, seeing his Girlfriend take out her Pokeballs. Once she had all four of her Pokeballs, he understood what she was going to do. "Ah, I see." The Hoenn Champion proceeded to reach for his own Pokeballs, ready to release his Partners.

"Come on out, everyone!" Helena tosses her Pokeballs, releasing her Pokemon to get some fresh air.

Kirlia, Hattrem, Sylveon, and Dragonair all cried happily as they approached their Partner. Helena kneels, petting each one of her Pokemon. "I know it's been a while since you all got some fresh air, I'm sorry for doing that. But now you can go around and relax like in the Stone Mansion." Helena spoke to her Pokemon.

They all looked at each other, all understood the reason why they weren't let out often like before. In fact, they weren't even tightly sealed in their Pokeballs, rather they all decided to stay inside in case anything happened to Helena like the Night of her kidnapping.

"Kirlia, Kirlia," The Psychic/Fairy-type Pokemon spoke on the behalf of the Team.

Helena understood what her main Partner was saying for everyone. She smiled, placing her hand over her head, and looked at them. "Thank you, for your concern and hard work everyone." She spoke gently before hearing some Pokeballs releasing Pokemon from her back.

Helena turns her attention to Steven and releases his Pokemon as well. Steven looks at Helena and her Pokemon, smiling at them. "I'm just following your lead, Ellie. I figured that these guys need some R and R after working hard this season. Plus they need the time off after what happened," Steven explained,

"Of course," The young Professor spoke, turning her attention to her Pokemon. "Well, you guys have fun too with the Pokemon here," She said, giving her Partners the time off they needed.

Everyone smiles, going off to hang out with Steven's Pokemon and playing with them while Helena and Steven settle in.

Entering the Vacation Home, Helena walked in after taking off her boots. She took a good look around, feeling the Homey atmosphere of the place.

She then noticed some Photo frames hanging on the Wall. Helena approached them, not hearing Steven following behind her as he removed his sandshoes, leaving him barefoot. "Hmm? Ellie?" Steven saw her standing at a group of Photo frames,

"Is this you Steven?" Helena asked, pointing at one gently,

"Hmm?" Steven approach his Girlfriend, seeing the Photograph his Mother took of him when he was younger. He chuckles, seeing that it was him as a very young Child sitting on the dirt with a pail and shovel.

The young Steven in the Photo was looking at the camera with his head turned around while his Body was still facing forward. His white flannel was covered with dirt as to his shorts. "Yeah, that was me. I think I was at a Family Reunion here and went off to dig up some dirt." He sheepishly said,

Helena giggled before turning to a much younger Steven on the side of the first Photograph. "Oh my Arceus, that's so adorable." She giggled, seeing the Photo.

Steven turns to the side, blushing at the sight. "Uh…a-ahem, yeah…as you can see, Helena…this was me when I was…a toddler…" The Hoenn Champion said, explaining the next Photograph.

The Photograph was a Toddler version of Steven on fours in a purple onesie, having a rock in his hand as he teethed on it. Helena couldn't help but be captivated by how adorable Steven was when he was a Baby. "So your love for Stones goes far back to when you were just a Baby…" Helena giggled,

"Ah…ahem, I-I think that's enough of you gushing over Baby me." Steven coughs embarrassed that his Parents left those Photos up on the Wall.

"B-But I want to see mor- wait, is that you cuddling next to Beldum in your crib?" Helena asked, seeing the Photo as Steven gently pushed her out of view.

"AHAHAHAHA! WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!? GIULIA MUST BE READY WITH THE FOOD! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Hoenn Champion laughs nervously as he forces his Girlfriend out of the Hall.

"AH! You're sucking your thumb there! So cute!" Helena called out, getting a final look at the Photo.
