His life lacking a new purpose, he would become addicted to Poffins and ultimately be found dead in some back alley in Viridian City several months later. His corpse would become home to a Spiritomb that was in his rock collection and was just biding its time, waiting for him to succumb to death's embrace. Free from its eternal prisoner, it would then proceed to conquer the world with its army of ghostly brethren and fossils, who were all likewise trapped in Steven's rock collection. The new world order would see humans being captured in Humanballs by Pokemon and used to battle in cruel yet highly amusing gladitorial matches for fun, profit, and the entertainment of the new ruler of the world, Lord Steven Spiritomb.
...now, what if all of that was actually the plot of Pokemon OmegaRuby 2 and Pokemon AlphaSapphire 2, which were the mysterious Pokemon games that are releasing on the Switch in 2019?
