The Truth Behind the Champion (A Steven Stone fanfic)

Prologue

"Damn it! Wallace we do not have time to be arguing!" I tried not to yell at my confused friend.

"Steven, what's gotten into you?" Wallace questioned me.

I guess I should begin by explaining who I am, even though most people know who I am and what I have done in my life. I am Hoenn Champion Steven Stone, steel type master, son of the president of Devon Corps, master negotiator, and most of all human. Many look up to me, many despise me, many think I should not have been champion to begin with. Why? Technically Wallace, the man I am having the fight with, beat me for the title, but decided that being a gym leader was worth his time more than the title of champion.

Wallace is my flamboyant, sometimes annoying, laid back, practically the exact opposite of me friend. He has bright turquoise eyes and hair. He for some odd reason, since he has a problem of the ending up covered in mud, white pants, and ivory green shirt.

"You are the real champion, take the cloak" I ordered.

The champions cloak is pretty much a pure white cloak that well the champions receive as a prize for beating the elite four and the champion.

I should probably explain, well for one, what is going on. As of right now, two evil organizations, team Aqua and team Magma have released the two legendary pokemon, Groudon and Kyogre. Who are polar opposites, Groudon is a fire and ground type, Kyogre is the powerful water type legendary pokemon.

To stop the two I have found the three pokemon Registeel, Regirock, and Regice. But I know what these pokemon will do to me in the end, kill me.

"Please Wallace, take the cloak. It will make me feel better knowing that someone with the power to lead will take this from me" I pleaded.

Wallace looked at me with doubt in his eyes "I've known you for years Steven, your planning something. I know it, tell me"

"Wallace, I am fine. Trust me, I just do not want this responsibility anymore" I lied. If Wallace knew what is going to happen to me, he would never let me go and fight.

"I'll take the cloak, but not now" Wallace sighed "After the fight I want the truth Steven"

There will not be an after the fight for me, I thought.

#### 3rd person P.O.V

Wallace watched Steven with close eyes, something was off with him. Even if Steven refused to tell him exactly what, something was off. Steven would never give up his title without a reason. Steven may have decided to take on controlling the three golems on his own, but Wallace know this wasn't easy for Steven.

None of the other gym leaders were in sight, all were doing what they could to same the region, the first time anything like this has ever happened.

"We must not let these fools beat us! We are the strong members of the Hoenn gyms and elite four!" Steven shouted. He was trying to use his charisma to his advantage, one of Steven's main characteristics, he could rally almost anyone to understanding him.

"Elizabeth, now use hydropump!" Wallace shouted.

His Luvdisk did as commanded, it did nothing towards stopping the rampaging pokemon though.

"Wallace" Steven's voice sounded raspy. He turned around to his friend. Steven looked paler than he ever had.

"Steven!" Wallace yelled as he ran to his friend. Who was riding his partner, a shiny Metagross.

"Steven! What's wrong?" Wallace questioned.

"I want you to stay strong for me, can you do that?" Steven questioned.

He looked as if he was going to pass out, Wallace wrapped his arm around Steven "What are you talking about? Steven!" Wallace shouted.

Steven's eyes rolled back, as he went limp in Wallace's arms.

"Steven!!"
