[Stepfordization, Seduction, Pregnancy]

"You'd think they'd all know how to battle at this point, but they just don't learn. Ah well, it makes the eventual success all the more sweet."

Roxanne, the Gym Leader of Rustboro City, sighed as she walked into her home. It had been a long day that was filled with both Gym Leader duties, and her duties as a teacher at the Pokémon Trainer's School. It was where she had learned everything she needed to know about Pokémon Battles, and thus she decided to take a teacher's position there. To help pass on the skills she had learned to the next generation. But it was just an incredibly difficult task, one that she really should've prepared herself better for...

Still, she didn't regret it. Not for a second. She did everything she could to make those kids smile. Even if they weren't good. Even if they were struggling. She had struggled just like them when she was younger. So she helped them the best she could...

"My my. Seems like you've had quite the rough day, Roxanne. I was right to stop by for a visit."

Roxanne paused as she noticed a certain young man sitting at her dinner table, enjoying a brief cup of tea. And her expression went from exhausted but satisfied to shocked and blushing. Because that young man was none other than Steven Stone. The very same Steven Stone who was the son of Devon Corporation's President... And also the former Champion of the Hoenn Pokémon League! And to make matters even worse than that, he was also a good friend of hers due to his roots in Rustboro!

"S-Steven? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be out looking for rare and exotic rocks?" She asked as she scurried towards the table. Better join him for a cup, it'd be awfully rude not to. At least, that's what she was doing, right before she realized that this setup seemed a little suspicious. "Hold on, how did you get in here in the first place?"

Steven smiled as he pulled a key out of his pocket. "You lent me your key while I had substitute duty at the Pokémon Trainer's School." He said, prompting her to sweat in response. "That being said, who's saying I'm not looking for a rare and exotic rock?" He laughed a little, right as he got up from his chair, standing a head taller than the younger Gym Leader.

There was something about the way that he looked down at her that made Roxanne feel a little weak. Had she always felt this way when he was close? No, it was... It was like there was a completely different look in his eyes. A dominant, yet loving look. It made her weak in the knees...

Not that she got the chance to collapse, because Steven put a hand on Roxanne's back and her chin at the same time. Lifting it up slightly with a glint in his eye. "In fact, I think I've found the rarest rock of all. My 'diamond in the rough', if you would." Such a seductive tone, despite the fact that he was still talking about rocks...

"S-Steven..." Roxanne had never expected him to put the moves on her like this. Frankly, she had never expected him to put the moves on her in general. And yet here he was. Sweeping her off her feet and making her feel so small. So weak. So vulnerable...

As Steven moved forward to kiss her, Roxanne didn't resist. In fact, she returned the kiss. Panting and gasping as her heart beat harder and harder than ever. Especially as he gently rubbed her back to keep supporting her. All while she gazed into those beautiful eyes.

While her attention was entirely focused on his eyes, she didn't notice that he withdrew his hand and reached into his pocket. It was only as the glint of the box in his hand managed to reach her gaze that she noticed what he was doing, and as the box popped open, he began to speak once more.

"Roxanne. Will you be mine?" Steven asked. Proposing to the Gym Trainer that had been such close friends with him. Offering her a lifetime with him. It was a future that she never could've seen coming, but a future that sounded so sweet and alluring. Especially considering the kind of man that he was...

"I will." Roxanne mustered up everything she had as she gave Steven another kiss, letting him slip the ring onto her finger. All while the passion between them started to grow...

Her life now belonged to him, and vice versa...

"What do you mean, we're moving? I've been in Rustboro my entire life! What are the kids in the Pokémon Trainer's School going to say?"

After becoming Steven's wife, Roxanne's life took a drastic turn. It was like bits and pieces of her independence had been stripped away. And it was harder and harder to argue against it. Because every time she tried to get answers, every time she tried to make him reconsider, he found a way to chip away at her rocky exterior to get to the soft interior.

"Unfortunately, I just can't let you stay here, Roxanne." Steven said, putting his hand on his wife's back once more. Letting her feel those warm tingles that came with being held by him. The same tingles that he had clearly abused to get his way, even if she couldn't find a way to fight back against these sensations. "If I stay here, then my Father's going to try and make me work to take over the business. As much as I admire his efforts, that's not the life I wish to lead. And not the legacy I wish to leave behind either."

"L-Legacy? W-What do you mean..?" Roxanne felt so weak when he held her like this. It felt too good. Far too good for her to handle. So much so that she was already squirming in his arms... His strong and loving arms...

Steven chuckled, as he moved his hand from her back onto her stomach instead. "Eventually, we'll have to settle down. And that means you'll have to slowly raise our family. The boys and girls that I expect you to take very good care of, Roxanne. My Diamond." It was clear that he had great intentions for her. And the way that he called her by that nickname just made her feel weaker.

It also didn't help that he had been making her wear outfits that felt less and less like hers, and more like what he expected from her. Long dresses, having her hair hang down with a couple of pretty stones braided into the ends, and other gemstones both serving as accessories and dotting her clothing. Especially the gemstones that were woven into her dress, which made it look even prettier...

The thought of raising a family was one that never came to mind. But when he put it like this, and when he kept making her feel so weak... What was she supposed to do? Go against his wishes? Go against what he wanted from his wife? It didn't feel right to do so. It wouldn't feel right... Even if it did mean that a lot of her own ambitions were swept aside...

"I..." Roxanne muttered, trembling as he rubbed her belly a little more. It felt like how she would polish one of her Pokémon... Like he was using Rock Polish on her... It made her throb a little down there, especially as she looked into his beautiful eyes. "If you really want to leave a legacy behind and start a family... T-Then we're starting as soon as we move. Alright? And... A-And you better bring back lots of pretty rocks from your trips. Otherwise-"

Roxanne didn't get to finish before Steven kissed her once again, causing her to tremble all over. Growing completely weak, to the point where she was supporting herself on his arm because she would collapse if she didn't. All while her heart beat harder and harder as she gazed at him. Love truly filling every inch of her body, all thanks to his sweet words...

"I promise to make your life as fulfilling as it should be, My Diamond." Steven said, with that irresistible tone. That seductive gaze. That loving voice... Ah... It was too much for her...

Roxanne kissed her beloved back as she closed her eyes. Putting an end to her own story, all for the sake of supporting him. All for the sake of making her husband the happiest he could be...

That was her life from now on. And with her womb happily throbbing for him, his legacy was all but guaranteed...

"I must say, I didn't expect you to live out here. Are the meteors that interesting to somebody like you, Stone?"

"I could say the same to you, Cynthia. What intrigues you about those ancient ruins?"

"Touche. Thank you for inviting me over, it's always nice to hear another Champion's perspective on matters."

Steven smiled. His home in Mossdeep City was a rather quaint one. But it was perfect for somebody like him. The space station had plenty to offer for somebody like him. And even beyond that, the ocean being so close meant that he could easily surf across it, should the need to explore the ocean and find other exotic rocks fill his heart.

It was always nice to have another Champion over. Cynthia, Sinnoh's former Champion. And still a powerful trainer in her own right. Though she had been let free to explore and find all sorts of ruins that gave her more insight into the past, there was another reason why he had invited her.

"Cynthia, have you ever thought of settling down?"

The blonde former Champion raised an eyebrow. "Now where is this coming... from..?" Cynthia muttered, before her gaze was ever momentarily distracted. All thanks to the girl that left the kitchen...

She seemed eerily familiar. Not that Cynthia had met a lot of the girls in Hoenn, but the way she looked certainly seemed a bit familiar. Though it was buried under a lot of elements that served to make her heart tremble. Whether it was her gem-studded hair, or that very pretty dress, or the smile on her face as she carried a fresh cake towards the table...

Or the very obvious gravid belly. She was... Three months along? No, more than that. And it seemed like she was pregnant with more than a single child as well. The fact Steven was married was a shock to her. She hadn't heard anything like that.

"There you are, darling." Roxanne giggled, placing the cake on the table before placing a kiss right on her beloved husband's cheek. "Hopefully that's not the only thing that'll come out of the oven, ehe..." She chimed, a single hand on her gravid belly.

Steven smiled as well, giving both his wife and her belly a kiss each, before 'polishing' that domed belly as well. "Indeed. It would be nice to see our children soon. But don't rush them, My Diamond. There's still so much that needs to be done." He said with such pride and joy. Radiating with such clear emotion...

Seeing them like this made Cynthia shiver a little. Prompting her to clear her throat as she got up. "I'm... I'm afraid I'll have to go. I wouldn't want to interrupt your day together." She couldn't tell them that seeing them like this made things rumble inside her. So instead, she decided to leave. So she didn't have to confront these feelings...

Which prompted Steven to chuckle a little, still 'polishing' his Diamond's gravid belly. "She'll be just like you soon, Roxanne. Now that she's seen how good it feels to be loved." He said, revealing his intention. To let her build a legacy as well. Once she had found the man for her.

"Oh, darling..." Roxanne sighed sweetly as she enjoyed his love. All while smiling herself. Enjoying every little bit of his love. Because that's what she was here for. His love, his affection... And to further his legacy...

Once this batch was born... Then she'd be happy to be filled again. All while taking care of their kids at the same time. Their tiny diamonds, the ones they planned on cherishing from the bottom of their hearts...

Ah... What a lovely life she led. All thanks to Steven, her beloved...
