Thread: First Steps (MidnightSunset and Greece)

@Greece;

Well, here we go....

"No Dad!"
"Son, stop this nonsense and get back to the building!"
"No!"
The boy, his name is Steven Stone. He's the son of Mr. Stone, the famous CEO of Devon Corporation.
"I said stop running!" said Mr. Stone.
"Nooooo" said Steven, tripping over a peculiar rock. Steven quickly got up and ran into the forest.
"Where'd that kid get to now..." grunted Mr. Stone.

"Whew," said Steven. "Finally lost him."
As Steven looked around, he realised that he himself was lost. As he wandered in the dark, Pokemon-filled forest, he bumped into a girl.

Now, this was 4 years ago. He and the girl, Erin, quickly became friends, and to Steven, his dream girl. (Though Erin doesn't know, nor suspect it)

"H-hey Erin! Guess what?" yelled Steven.

"Hey Steven!" Erin turned to him "what did you find this time? Another rock? Let's see it!"

"Well, yeah," he said. Steven shows a rather large Moon Stone. "But also, something else."

"What else did you find?" Erin asked while looking at the moon stone, "That seems like a big enough thing to find on it's own."

"N-no, it's not another rock. Me and my dad made a deal."

"Really? What kind of a deal?"

"He finally said I could go on that Pokemon journey! All my young life I've been waiting for this day! But... there's a catch..."

"That's great! But what's the catch?"

"I have to take over the family company when he.. y'know."

"Oh, are you sure that you're OK with that?"

"No, I'm not." Steven paced back and forth.

"What do you think you're going to do?" Erin watched Steven pace "Are you gonna go on the journey and then be ready to take over? Or are you gonna stay here until you can figure something out?"

"Oh I'm defiantly going on the journey. I'll think of something, though..." Steven turns and looks at Erin. "H-hey Erin, would y-you like to come with m-me on this journey?"

"You want me to come? That would be amazing! Going on a journey alone would get lonely," Erin clapped her hands together "I'll just make sure my mom won't mind." But Erin knew that mothers never minded letting their children go on long journeys that had potential danger unsupervised. Nope not one!

"Y-you will?!" As Steven ran around excitedly, he eventually tripped on a stone he hadn't seen before. "Ow... what's this? It's not an evolutionary or a precious gem... Hrm..." Steven picked up the odd rock and put it in his hoodie pocket, as Erin was running back down the street.
