Return Of The Chosen One Book I- The World Masters Tournament

Chapter 8- Two Hearts Become One

Before we start I want to say I'm sorry for the darksteel moment in the last chapter. I didn't really do much research into these characters so I didn't know what their passions were (well I did just not enough) so I've rewritten this entire chapter. Again I apologize.

"GET BACK HERE YOU TWO!" Steven shouted, but he was ignored just like the last ten times he shouted it. Steven has chased them through a forest, a meadow, and now a rocky terrain. Cynthia was chasing Lance because of his comment earlier and boy does he regret it! "LANCE!" Cynthia roared "CYNTHIA IM SORRY I SWEAR!" Lance said then stopped and braced himself, she was just about to hit, when a rock broke under her, stopping her in her tracks. Steven stopped as well, catching his breath. Then he saw Cynthia and panicked "Cynthia." He warned "No sudden moves." She nodded, not moving an inch "Ok listen. I'm going to walk closer. When I'm close enough, you jump towards me, ok?" Steven instructed, Cynthia nodded. Steven's plan then sprang into action, slowly but surely stepping closer and closer towards her. Cynthia was about to jump when the rocks broke under her, and she started to fall "CYNTHIA!" Steven shouted, then without thinking he put a hand on the edge then jumped off and caught Cynthia. His hand was still on the edge, so they weren't falling. Lance then sprang into action and helped Steven and Cynthia get up. When they finally got up, and got a safe distance from the edge, they were all breathing heavily. After all a near death experience will do that to you. When they finally caught their breath, Steven was the first one to break the ice between them "Are you ok Cynthia?" He asked, worried "Y-Yeah just started." She stammered. "Thanks." Steven nodded. "Well I think I'm going to head back to the suite." Lance said, then he threw a pokeball, dragonite coming out of it, and he flew off.  Steven started to chuckle a bit, making Cynthia curious "what's so funny?" Steven then turned to Cynthia "His Dragonite. It reminded me of the first time we met." This made Cynthia even more curious. She never knew how they met, Steven noticed this

"Well what happened was........

Flashback
Steven's POV
"Alright!" I shouted "A new rare stone, this seems like a moon stone but a slightly different pattern and a lighter shade of black!" I was looking for stones when I happened to come across a moon stone like no other. It had swirls on it and literally looked like a moon. It was also a lighter shade of black and a bit bigger in size. I was so excited, I immediately ran towards the exit and went to my cottage. My cottage, on the other hand, was a mess. Well not really, every room was well organized and clean. Well every room except mine. They're were stones scattered on my desk, the floor, even my bed! There was piles on piles of books detailing evolution stones and the history of the Hoenn and the other regions, they were charts and maps on the walls, paper scattered on my desk, and notebooks detailing notes on rocks and the deep rich history of all the regions and even how some parts are connected. It was the true setting of a restless, curious learner. "Alright now where did I put those notes-." I stopped when I heard a crash outside. I ran out to see "Lance?" I asked "What brings you here?" Lance perked up and saw me "Oh, Steven." He said, sounding like a idiot "Hi..." I then looked at him, dragonite, and the upper half of a tree on the ground "Crash landing?" I asked and he nodded "I have a first aid kit, please, come inside." I offered, which he accepted. When we were inside I had Lance settle on the couch while I grabbed a first aid and a glass of water. "Here." I said as offered him the glass of water, which he took. I then went back into the kitchen and gave dragonite some Pokémon food. "Thanks Steven." Lance said, gratitude in his voice. "You would've done the same for me." I responded as I got out my medical kit. I then handed it to him and he wasted no time applying ointment to his wounds. When he was finished he put his cape on "What's with the cape?" I asked "I wear it to look nice. I mean I am the legendary dragon mastermind! Champion of Johto and Kanto!" Then he did his signature pose, making me chuckle a bit. "Alright well take care Lance, your always welcome here." He nodded then flew away on dragonite
