Hey. This is the new version of the Delta Emerald story. I for one find it better. Trying to keep things simple this time. The other version just went left. So here's the story. New and improved!Delta Emerald makes no claim of owner ship to the Pokémon company or any other company mentioned.

On December 5th, 1980, a boy named Delta Emerald was born to the proud mother, Francine Maggie, and father, Peter Emerald, in the fine region of Kalos. Delta was a happy and wholesome baby boy. Francine became a stay at home mom, while Peter worked at the CDC, Center of Disease Control.

Slowly, Peter contracted a disease that killed all white blood cells, and eventually kill the host. Tragically, the disease spread to the rest of the Emerald and Maggie family. Delta was the only surviver of the outbreak due to a strange resistance to the disease.

He was put into an orphanage and was eventually adopted into the Xavier family at three years old. Delta went to school, and went by the name Dex. Throughout the years, Delta became good friends with a boy named Augustine Sycamore, a girl named Cynthia Jones, and another girl named Diantha Anders.

Delta went into a study on all types of diseases at the age of 12, three years prior to the start of his Pokémon adventure. When the time came for him to start his adventure to begin, he had a vast knowledge of all types of diseases and illnesses. This is the start of his journey.

"Hey orphan! I need some money. Fork it over." cane the harsh voice of Delta's bully, Klyde. His two crones snickering.

"I don't have time for this today, Klyde." Delta said in annoyance.

"I said fork it over!" Klyde said a little more harsher.

"I don't have any money for you. Leave me alone." Delta said, not realizing Klyde was getting closer to him.

"That's it, kid." Klyde said before he and the two others began beating him.

"Dex, what happened to you!?" said Delta's adopted mother, Karren.

"Nothing. Just some idiot hit me." Delta answered, "Can I go see my friends later at the park?"

"That's fine, sweety. Just don't be gone to long." Karren said with a smile on her face, "Tomorrow's your big day."

Tomorrow, Delta and his friends are to get their first Pokémon. Later, Delta went to the park to, obviously, meet up with his friends.

"Hey, Dex. How's it hangin'?" Augustine said as his friend showed up.

"Not much. You?" Delta answered his friend.

"I'm all good." Augustine replied.

"Where's Diantha?" Delta asked the other two.

"She said she was getting some stuff done real quick." Cynthia said to her friend.

"I'm here!" came the voice of the one and only Diantha, "I'm here! Hey guys. Delta." Diantha blushed as she looked at the parentless boy she came to love.

"I'm so excited for tomorrow. Our first Pokémon." Delta said with excitement. "Sometimes I wish we had just started at 10."

"Even if we wanted to, our parents said they wouldn't let us." Cynthia said, "They said we were mature enough."

Diantha was sitting there quiet, staring at Delta.

"Oh, I want you all to call me Delta again." Delta said to his friends. "I really don't like the name Dex anymore."

"Okay." Cynthia said. "Diantha, you staring hard enough?" All the attention turned to Diantha.

"Huh? What? Stop, Cynthia." Diantha said to her. Cynthia was the only person Diantha told about her crush on Delta, despite being painfully obvious. Delta had a feeling that she liked him but brushed it off.

"I got to go home, guys." Delta said, "Karren's making potatoe soup."

"See ya." Cynthia and Augustine both said.

"Bye Delta." Diantha said.

The other three continued talking after Delta left.

"You should really just tell him how you feel. It's painful how obvious it is you like him." Cynthia said playfully to her friend.

"It's like I can't. I've tried, but I just can't get the words out." Diantha said, defending herself.

"I understand." Augustine said. He secretly had a crush on Cynthia. "Well, I've, got to go home as well. Bye." He said before getting up and leaving.

Diantha and Cynthia got up shortly after and left.
