Now that we've got that misunderstanding out of the way... you're probably thinking, "Where's the background/plot of Steel/Ice?" Well, I'll give it to you here and now:
About one year before the events of X/Y, a youth from Tributary Town, in Albion, dreamed of becoming a Pokémon Trainer. That dream came true one fateful day, when Professor Willow got attacked while studying a wild Pokémon. The soon-to-be-minted Trainer saved her using one of three Pokémon, and Professor Willow, as thanks, let the youth have that Pokémon.
The new Trainer had two ambitions: firstly, to take on the Pokémon League's Albion Challenge; and secondly, to help Professor Willow complete the Pokédex she had been working on. Along the way, though, this new Trainer gets entangled in a war between two ecoterrorist organizations: Team Calor, which is attempting a Second Industrial Revolution, and Team Freeze, which is going to extremes to save the planet from global warming. Can this Trainer make it to the top, advance the realm of Pokémon research, and save the world from a potentially destructive ecological conflict?
