Dream Boy (Steven Stone x Reader)

Chapter 5

"Arbok return!" Before the battle started, the other grunt with his Arbok switched pokemons.

"Muk, let's get 'em!" Muk came out of it's pokeball with its battle cry.

"Marshtomp, I choose you!" May called as she tosses her pokeball high in the air.

Marshtomp let out it's battle cry and pumps itself with energy. Aron rested peacefully in your arms as you tightly held the pokemon in your very eyes.

"Raticate, use hyper fang on Feraligatr!" The grunt with his Raticate commanded.

Raticate swiftly uses hyper fang on Feraligatr, Feraligatr recoiled on that damage as keeps itself on guard.

"Muk, use gunk shot!" The grunt with his Muk commanded.

Muk lets out a big gunk shot and catapults it high in the air towards you unexpectedly.

You were about to get hit by gunk shot when Metagross steps to deal with the attack. Of course, Metagross is a steel and psychic type so poison type moves have no effect on steel type pokemons.

"Thank you Metagross," You said in a soft voice. Metagross bowed a bit as it focus on the battle.

The battle was intense between three people on opposing sides. May, Steven and Silver on the left side of the battle while three grunts are on the other side.

What you didn't expect to happen is that Muk used sludge bomb. It was about to hit Feraligatr when Feraligatr dodged the attack, unexpectedly, it was about to hit you. Steven pushed you away and he's the one who got hit. Because of the wide spacing in the battle and unexpected attacks, this happens.

Steven got poisoned by the attack as he laid unconscious on the ground. You were terrified so you ran towards him.

"Steven!" You screamed as you held on Steven tightly with his Aron. You felt the tears on your eyes as you held close to him. His charming face somehow turned into a dreadful one as choke some blood from him.

You never knew that pokemon characters can die easily like normal humans do in the normal world. You thought that cartoon characters don't die, but the more you thought about it, the more your terrified. You sobbed so hard, you felt so useless and the cause of Steven's attack. You felt like a big burden to him that you can't even forgive yourself.

"Ara, run now! Take Steven to Pryce, he knows what to do with the poison," May instructed.

You nodded and carried Steven with his Aron in your arms as you head off safely from the fight. Steven's Metagross followed you as you hurry to get away.

A month later, Silver and May finally stopped Team Rocket as they got the Rainbow feather from Giovanni and safely returned Zuki back to Ecruteak city. The police officers arrested Team Rocket and the boss for their wrong doing and the cause of Steven's condition. The man in the souvenir shop is still the same, Silver promised himself that he'll get a lot stronger.

After one month, you got skinnier. You couldn't even eat much because you can't forgive yourself from that attack. Steven sacrificed himself just for you, he did everything just to keep you safe. You wanted to know if he's alright with Pryce, and the thought of it kept eating you alive.

As you gaze outside the window, someone knocled on your door.

"Ara, may I come in?" Asa asked in a polite and worried tone.

"Go on." You replied.

Asa came inside and saw your face with concern.

"Ara, you don't need to do this." Asa began.
