Kagura: Hi, peoples! Sorry 'bout the break, but evil spammers are lurking around!

Rayquaza: And let me tell you, getting rid of them is NOT as easy as it sounds.

Kagura: Shut up and let me go on. Well, I don't own Pokemon, but Emerald (not the Pokemon Special character) is mine, not anyone else's.

Rayquaza: Yeah!

Kagura: Also, there will be no DragonShipping (RayquazaxLatias), so this is safe for KotorPlayerVII and LateralGanon to read. I'm saying that because every time Rayquaza is in a story, I often see him with Latias.

Rayquaza: She was better off with Ash anyway.

Kagura: ON WITH THE FIC!!


10 years ago...

The sun rose high over the Hoenn region. Many Swablu, Altaria, and Swellow flew across the skies, and many people in Lavaridge Town were waking up. Everything seemed so peaceful...

...until today.

High in the air flew the great Rayquaza; he was patrolling the skies and ensuring that the world was in balance. However, he was unaware of the major twist that would change him forever.

Below him were two women, carrying what seemed to be a baby. They were mourning for the child's parents; they had apparently died and left the child behind. These kind women were taking the infant to the orphanage. What they didn't know was that the baby would be in different, and somewhat better, hands (or claws; you'll see why) very soon.

Feeling compassionate for the child, Rayquaza dove down at the unexpecting women and snatched the infant from their arms.

"The baby!" one cried. "That Pokemon's getting away with it!"

"That Pokemon...Rayquaza!" the other gasped. "But why? What could it want from the child?" She turned to her partner. "Whatever you do, don't attack!"

"Don't attack?!" The first one was outraged. "Doing so will lose the infant!"

"If Rayquaza wants the child," she said, "let it be so."

In the sky, Rayquaza looked down at the sleeping infant.

My Emerald, he thought, already naming it, you have such a future ahead of you.
