Traveling this rich land of Hoenn…

A young Ghost-type Trial Captain and Elite Four member from Alola, who calls him "Uncle" out of respect. Steven respects her talent as a fellow Trainer and optimistic attitude, but finds her to be somewhat naive.

A Grass-type Gym leader and Pokemon Connoisseur from Unova, whose impeccable manners and dedication to his trade left an impression on Steven. Cilan's  passions for film and trains are a bit... "perplexing", but he admires his dedication.

A fellow League Champion title-holder from Kanto, whose knowledge of the Arehtei led to Steven becoming Thras' representative. Steven sometimes wonders if he's shouldering a little too much pressure and responsibility on his own. 

A Trainer and Professor's assistant from Unova who runs a berry farm. Though she's quite hardy and capable, her innocence has Steven wanting to keep an eye out for her. She has no patience for Champion bullshit.

A Trainer from Alola with a mysterious partner Pokemon and troubled past. He seems quite standoffish and distrustful, but Steven doesn't take it personal. He has a feeling that he'll open up with time.

A hyperactive girl with a big heart and even bigger muscles. Her peppiness can be a bit exhausting for Steven, but she's entrusted him with her insecurities and stories of her past. He doesn't take that lightly, and hopes that he can be a confidante and adult figure for her to depend on.

A veritable ice queen with an upbringing that has some eerie similarities to Steven's own. He sees a bit of his past self in her, and hopes that he can exemplify that there is hope beyond a future that is obligated by family title.

A refined, composed man that has more than a few perfectionist mom tendencies. Steven respects Ignis' informed opinion, and finds himself comfortable with talking to him about both serious and light topics alike. He values his company and friendship, and neither of them are aware of how pretty they are.

A half-gem, half-human hybrid and smaller name twin. Steven (U) is definitely the perkier of the two of them, but it's his heritage and knowledge of sentient gemstones that really interests Steven (S). They're a bit of an odd pair, but it's funny how names bring people together.

A space princess and space senator, which accumulates into a very impressive space resume. Both of them have expressed curiosity and interest in each other's worlds, resulting in some very intellectually stimulating conversation. They also robbed a bank together. It was awesome. 

Can talk to Pokemon, and fly?? Magic is some craaaaazy shit

A military sniper and badass grandma. They've only spoken a few times, but Steven respects Ana's veteran marksmanship, composure, and wisdom. 

A crown prince and resident emo kid. Kind of a little shit. 

A royal guard and the beefiest of beefcakes. Needs more interaction. :( 

DRAGON BOSS AAAAAAAA
