If there was one thing Steven liked, it was caves. All sorts of caves. They normally held stones within, although it wasn't the only place where one could find them. During this recent trip to Unova, he soon found something that certainly made the region different.
Gems.
And it wasn't the normal type of gem, either. It was a gem that boosted a Pokémon's strenght. When used, any trainer would thoughtlessly discard it, but the rock-collecting man knew better than to do so. After all, he was curious to know as to what properties, exactly, caused this boost to happen. It was as intriguing as when the Eon Pokémon suddenly traveled to Kanto a short time ago.
Having collected a decent amount, with little trouble from the resident Pokémon, the retired Champion made his way back to a city that was called, if memory served right, Driftveil City. It was quite accommodating, reminding him very slightly of Rustboro and Slateport at the same time. He did arrive there by boat, after all.
He, however, soon ran into an unfamiliar face that seemed to hold some sort of authority.
Perhaps, from this man, he could learn who knew more about these mysterious gems. Someone could have already done the research. It would save him a lot of trouble. "Excuse me, sir. Do you have a minute?"
