Backstory-(Steven was born into expectations. A lot of them. While his mother and father both loved him dearly, they did expect him to succeed. They wanted him to be the best, and the boy himself was eager to please. Even under all that pressure, what he wanted was to make his parents proud. It was after his mother died at the age of five that he recieved his first Pokémon, a Beldum he named Titanium. While he was awfully sad about the whole ordeal at first, the boy soon immersed himself into his father's interest and, soon enough, into Pokémon themselves. Some could say he immersed himself in other things to distract himself of loss, and it is often how he reacts to such strong feelings. It was no surprise that Steven wanted to embark on a journey as soon as he came of age, at ten years old. His father, not wanting to let his child out all alone, discussed countless times with the boy to change his mind. Still, Steven was as stubborn as a tauros and, soon enough, his father relented. Although Steven had to return home regularly for studies (slowing his journey immensely), he climbed to the top steadily, using his favorites he found along the way, as well as some companions he'd have never thought he'd use. Along the way, he met many difficulties, both due to his studies and the fact that he was the heir of Devon Corporation and, as such, the target to... interested parties. It only made him stronger. He reached the league when he was fourteen, as his journey was lengthened by all he had to do. Climbing to the top, he was defeated by Wallace in a very close match and would have instead become one of the Elite Four. However, Wallace dropped out, and the title was passed on to Steven, which he maintained it for a very long time, fending off challenger after challenger in every tournament. As he did so, he often conferred with his father on his off time, as he worked for Devon Corporation (whenever he wasn't collecting rocks as a 'rock getter'). Team Magma and Aqua were worrying and, as such, Steven himself left to do more research whenever he wasn't busy, as much as he could, and gather information. It was to try and prevent the worst from happening.) .
