BEST POKEMON SHAMCHAT EVER
Maxie/Shelly shipping here btw
And Steven being a ditz
Not everything’s here though. The missing parts are the random introduction and Shelly throwing a rock at Steven so that he falls over again.

So people were drawing Wallace as a merman, so here’s Steven in a steampunk-ish suit with too many belts. The Mega stone is on the gear hanging off his jacket.
(I kinda had to take version 1 down to fix how fudgly the face looked. Sorry kyriakiscience ^_^“)

So jakeeggroll had this headcanon where Steven is really afraid of dragons(childhood accidents, check her blog for details). Kinda adding onto it.
So pre-ORAS, Steven would freak out when dragon-types get into his visual range, regardless of distance(although the shorter it is the larger the freak out). The Elite Four sensed that this wouldn’t be good if a Dragon Tamer came for a challenge, so Drake and Glacia basically organised a bit of training where Drake brings out one of his Flygons(they looked the friendliest), and try to get Steven to adapt to them, in a way(of course, Glacia is there to monitor him, and blasts the Flygon if it moves foward too much).
Considering this sketch where distance is badly calculated, Steven can manage dragon-types when they’re technically on the opponent side, flinches badly when they use physical attacks, but still freaks out when there’s any of the Bagon line or the dragon uses breath-based attacks. And if it’s outside trainer battles, consider a massive ‘nope’.

Put a pokemon contest, Lisia and Steven together and you will have a massively freaked-out Champion in no time.
Dialogue in lower right corner:
Wallace: ‘No Altarias this time, Lis. You scare him.’
Steven: ‘Nyeeeeeee-’(technically crying and going ‘nope’ at the same time)
Lisia: …?
