I don't own Harry Potter, that belongs to the lovely J.K Rowling. I don't own Pokemon, for it is own by Game Freak, and created by Mr. Satoshi Tajiri.

Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to finish this story like I did with Sage's Life. I do plan on finishing, but the sequels, despite knowing how they will end, are taking a lot to type. Between family, work, and the Holidays, it's not exactly easy to find time to write.

This story has Gay relationships, as well as innocent relationships between a grown man, and young teen. Just because it is innocent, does not mean I condone relationships between an adult and minor. As this is fanfiction, that means the rules of the real world don't apply, but the readers should remember the laws of their country. If you complain about my works, I will just ignore them, and continue writing. There are more sinister stories out there. Complain to them.

CHAPTER ONE

Sage yawned into his hand as he opened the door to his house. He blinked, then blinked again, before slamming the door shut. He turned around, and stalked to the back door, Sterling on his heals. He passed his mother, who shot him a glare for being rude.

"Oh! Mr. Stone! Sage just went to the backyard!" The boy paused, before racing up the stairs and whistling. Ash's Charizard, who had been at Professor Oak's lab, came flying.

"Get me away from here, boy. My stalker is here." The Flying-Fire type roared in agreement, taking off for the lab the moment his trainer's brother was secure on his back. "Idiot." Sage muttered as he landed in the Professor's yard. The man looked up in surprise. "Not you, sir. Steven Stone."

"Ah yes, your fan." Sage winced, "so, are you here to pick up Pokemon?"

"I'm dropping off my three newest." The boy handed over three Pokeballs, holding a Panpour, Pansage, and Pansear. "I'm heading to Sinnoh."

"Have fun!" The man chuckled, waving as the boy went to leave.

"Char!" A yellow Charmander came running through the fields, away from a lab assistant. The Pokemon jumped into Sage's arms, who frowned in confusion. Then a light lit up his eyes.

"Professor, I never did choose a start from your lab, did I?" The man chuckled, seeing where the boy was going.

"You may take her."

"Well, you heard him, Shami!" Sage grinned at the Pokemon. The Charmander blinked in surprise as Sage took the Pokeball from the assistant. "Return." Sage waved at the professor before sneaking to the woods, where he would skirt Pallet Town.

Sage inhaled deeply as his boat took off from the docks. Sterling and Shami were playing around the deck, having fun with other Pokemon. Sage chuckled at the awed looks from the others.

"Sterling, Shami, come here!" The boy called, and they came running. "You two are my only partners right now. That means I'm counting on the both of you, until we get a new member."

"Char!"

"Vee!" The two cheered. A trainer walked up, a smirk on his face.

"I want a battle." Sage hesitated. "If you're too afraid-"

"Fine, but only one-on-one. Shami is too young to battle yet."

"Pathetic." The boy sneered, pulling out a Pokeball. "Come out, Medicham!"

"Sterling, it's time to dance. Don't worry, it's like when we were training with Andy." The Eevee nodded, moving forward. "Quick Attack!"

"Detect, and then use High Jump Kick!"

"Use Quick Attack to dodge! Use Shadow Ball!" The Medicham kept going, and crashed into the ground. It was hurt, so Sterling's attack landed. "Toxic!" The other boy was glaring as his Pokemon was poisoned.

"Get up and use Drain Punch."

"Keep Dodging! Don't let Medicham touch you!" Sterling smiled, and started to dance around the Fighting-Psychic type. The opponent was tiring out fast as it tried to catch Sterling.

"Use Ice Punch!"

"Use Protect!" Sage glared, "you're not going to win, you know? Finish this with Shadow Ball!"

"Medicham is unable to battle, the winner is Sterling and Sage!" The referee called, and the boy across from Sage grumbled.

"Thanks for the practice! I've needed new ideas for Contests for a while now!"

"I was beat by a weakling Coordinator?" The boy shook his head, leaving.

"Like, oh my gosh, the color scheme, those green eyes, that shiny Eevee! You're Shiny Sage!" A girl squealed.

"Um, bye!"

"Okay, first we've got to visit Professor Rowan." Sage told Sterling once the boat hit Sandgem Town's docks. The Eevee nodded in understanding. This was how it was with them, they went to the lead Professors of the Region, talked, got a new friend, and left on their journey. "Hello?" Sage called as he entered the lab. A man with white hair and beard looked out.

"Ah, you must be Sage! Professor Oak told me you'd be coming by!" The man cleared his throat. "Lucas, get the tray!"

"Yes sir!" A young lab assistant called. A minute later, he approached with three Pokeballs.

"This is Turtwig, Piplup, and Chimchar, the three starters of Sinnoh." The man's lip twitched. "All three are Shiny types."

"I think I'm going to go with Piplup, sir." The man nodded, handing over the Pokeball. "Time to dance, Shimmer!" The light blue Piplup appeared, blinking up at the human before her. "I'm you're new trainer. This is Sterling, and this is Shami." Sage released his Charmander. "I hope we will all be friends."

"Pip?" She asked timidly, before hiding behind Sage's legs when Sterling skipped forward.

"Vee?" Sage laughed, kneeling next to them.

"It's okay, Shimmer. Sterling is just happy to meet you. So is Shami." The Fire-type nodded quickly, smiling. "See?" Eventually, Sterling and Shami had Shimmer out and playing with them. "I'll take good care of her, Professor Rowan. I promise."

"Ahem, I know you will. If what Professor Oak, and your brother, have said about you." Sage blushed, but smiled brightly. "Here is your Sinnoh Pokedex."

"Thank you, sir! Shami, Shimmer, return!"

"Welcome to Jubilife City Pokemon Contest! I'm your host, Marian! With me, is our three judges Mr. Contesta, Mr. Sukizo, and Jubilife City's very own Nurse Joy!"

"It's lovely to be here!"

"Remarkable!"

"I cannot wait to see what the coordinators have in store for us."

"Up first is the Appeal rounds. Help me welcome our first Coordinator, coming all the way from Pallet Town in Kanto, Shiny Sage!" The boy ran out wearing an outfit similar to what his brother had once worn.

"Time to Dance, Shami, Shimmer!" The two appeared with sparkles shimmering around them thanks to the capsules. "Ember, Bubble! Just like we practiced!" The two started dancing around. The bubbles encasing the flames like floating lights. As the Pokemon danced by, a bubble would pop, exploding into sparkles. At the end, the two were sparkling themselves. The group bowed, getting applause.

"You're really something else, kid." Sage blinked as he was stopped from reaching the back room. It was a girl with red hair.

"You won the Sinnoh League last year, right? Zoey?"

"What, you didn't watch it?"

"Mama didn't record it. I was...somewhere where they didn't have TV." The girl blinked, before grinning.

"You're Ash's kid brother, right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Sage grinned, moving over to the refreshment table. "I'm Sage-"

"I know who you are." The girl waved off as he grabbed a bottle of water. "To most, you're Shiny Sage, to others you're the Prince of Kanto."

"P-prince?"

"In coordinating." Sage shook his head.

"That's insane!" The boy muttered, "why are they calling me that?"

"You made it to the semi-finals twice. Even when you disappeared, it was all over Coordinator Monthly, Where is the Prince of Kanto? Has he lost passion since his failure against Robert? No one has seen him, so where can he be?"

"I was at a school for a special gift." Zoey nodded in understanding, leaving when her name was called. "Glad I brought Shiny in for this." Sage muttered as the appeals ended, and the first stage of battles was shown. "Isn't that Dawn?" Sage frowned at his opponent.

"Oh, you know Dawn?" A girl wearing a blue dress asked from behind him. She looked just like his brother's last travelling companion. "I'm Salvia."

"Sage Ketchum." The girl blinked in surprise.

"Relation to Ash?"

"My older brother."

"That explains how you know Dawn." The girl smiled. "My caretakers agreed to allow me to partake in Contests, and the Grand Festival, so long as they do not interfere with my duties. This will be my third Ribbon this year, if I win."

"I just got to Sinnoh not long ago. This is my first contest in Sinnoh." Sage smiled.

"Wait, are you Shiny Sage?" Heads turned at her question.

"I really hate that moniker." Sage grumbled, and the girl blushed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know that-"

"Don't worry about it."

"I thought you quit?" A boy sneered, walking over.

"What gave you that impression? I was away training." The boy rolled his eyes.

An hour later, Sage was the proud owner of the Jubilife Ribbon. He'd won against Salvia, who had taken down Zoey.

"You know, when I said I'd see you soon, I wasn't expecting it to be today." Sage spun around, a grin forming on his face.

"Andy!" Sage laughed, jumping on the boy. "Are you traveling Sinnoh?"

"That's right." Andy smiled, laughing with his friend. "How are you, Sage? Obviously you haven't lost your touch. Winning that Contest." Sage smiled, then glanced around the boy at the younger male standing beside him.

"Whose your friend?"

"Hm? That's Mike."

"He's cute."

"Yeah, he is-" Andy broke off, glaring at his laughing friend as he bounced over to the younger boy.

"Hi! I'm Sage. I used to travel with Andy! It's nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too." The boy had a pout on his face, causing Sage to grin.

"Andy, I'm stealing Mikey here to go shopping. We'll meet you at the Pokemon Center!" Sage latched onto Mike before either could protest, dragging him off to the shopping district. Instead of shopping, he got them Ice Cream instead. "So, how long have you known Andy?"

"I met him in Johto, and we've been together since." The boy blushed instantly as his words caught up to his brain. "I mean travelling together! We're not d-together!"

"But you want to be dating." Sage said, smiling at the boy. "I think he does too. However, Andy, unlike his brother, is a complete idiot when it comes to relationships."

"But being gay is-"

"Completely healthy. Preaching to the choir doesn't work, you know." Mike gaped for a minute. "Andy is a great friend, but I'm not interested in him. I like them older, and smarter. Able to sweep me off my feet."

"Then why don't you like Steven?"

"Y-you know Steven?"

"He's my cousin."

"But he's so creepy! He stalks me, Mike! Stalks me!"

"He's the heir to the Stone Cooperation, what did you think he'd be like? Of course he's eccentric. He really likes you, because you stand up against him."

"Is that really important?"

"Oh, and he thinks you're cute." Sage blushed brightly. "He really does care about you, and just follows you around to show that. He also does it because it bugs you. That means he has your attention."

"He freaks me out. If he wanted my attention, he could have asked me to travel with him before turning into a stalker." Sage lead the way back to the Pokemon Center.

"So if he'd stop stalking you, you'd like him more?"

"Maybe."

"Who is stalking you?" Sage let out a squeak, spinning around to slap the taller man. Steven glared at his laughing cousin as he rubbed his cheek.

"Stop that!" Sage ordered, glaring. "YOU are my stalker."

"I'm not a stalker! I'm just...enthused about keeping you safe." Sage snorted.

"And I'm really a girl." The man's grin disappeared, and a horrified look filed his face.

"That is a horrible joke to play!" Steven scolded.

"But your reaction makes it perfect." Sage smiled, walking pass the man. "Stop acting like a stalker, and maybe I'll give you the time of day." With that said, Sage left the cousins.
