The Truth Behind the Champion (A Steven Stone fanfic)

Chapter Seventeen

All for of the men spun around to face me with surprised looks on their faces. I smirked as a skiny man with glases who was doing something with a machine on the ground stood up and walked over to me.

"So you are Mr. Stone?" The man in a bright red trench coat asked.

"Well actually I prefer Steven, Mr. Stone is my father, and who might you be?"

"Well you see, I'm Maxie. The leader of team Magma." He seemed confident as he stood his ground with me.

"Why exactly are you here?" I growled getting ticked at him.

"Simple, I wanted to convince you to join us, team Magma that is."

"Why in the world would I want to join your psychotic team of criminals and thugs?" I raised my voice as I let my anger show.

I felt like he could realize he made a mistake coming and talking to me. "The group of thugs and criminals is team Aqua and we plan on should them that we can't be pushes around!" The older man shouted. I could tell this was a passionate subject for him as his eyes flashed a dangerous hue.

"Yet here you stand, bothering me." I growled.

"I guess I can't get you to join us, could I at least convince you to battle me?"

I closed my eyes as the familiar rush of fire rushed through my veins, my eyes flashed open and I saw the fear in Maxie's eyes.

"You have the nerve to challenge the Hoenn champion? The be prepared to lose." I smirked. "Metagross, lets show these idiots why we are the champion!" I shouted as my partner exploded from its pokeball.

"Alright, Camerupt!"

I knew he would try using the type difference to beat me. "Metagross use psych!"

Like I suspected, with ease his Pokemon had a one hit KO.

"Now" I raised my voice to make the point. "Remember that I am the champion and that I can not be beaten that easily. Now I expect you to crawl back into your little hole and stay out of my way." I flashed my eyes dangerously.

The skinny man shrank away from me. "Don't be surprised if one day you wake up and that idiot Archie has done something stupid because the champion decided to do nothing!" he spat.

I smirked "If he is anything like you I think I can handle him."

Damn it! This is actually becoming a problem!

Just as I was going to follow Maxie my pokenav started vibrating in my pocket, I would have not cared but I told the four where I was going, and that I did not want to be disturbed. I flipped out the damn thing, to see the number I knew by heart, Wallace.

"Anyone ever told you that you have an impeccable ability to call me at the worst time possible?" I growled flipping open my phone.

"Well deal with it, your cave can wait!" he mocked. The flamboyant gym leader knew that I would not be upset if it was not for a cave.

"You my friend need to realize that every blue moon I leave my cave, battle some people, and get pissed off at idiots. Are you still at the gym?"

"Where else would I be, wait, I could be at a contest."

"Or running off to be with Winona, or hiding somewhere, or bothering the champion." I mocked.

"Aw you know you love me!"

"Agreed, because it is in the contract I singed with Juan!" I mocked.

"I'd believe that except that my master hates you!"
