If you played the Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and ORAS games. You're aware of the story of Brendan. A 13 year old boy enslaving monsters in small balls and making them fight with other monsters until one of them passes out!

Okay.. that was a bit exaggerated.

Going back on topic. Brendan was a skilled Pokemon trainer. Taming legendaries, winning badges, stopping not one, but two evil organizations and became the Pokemon Champion. But this story is not about him!

It's about Wally. A shy, gentle kid who always loses to Brendan. While he may not be as successful as Brendan, his story is still one worth talking about.

It all starts off in Petalburg City. Wally's family is getting ready to move to Vendaturf Town with the rest of the family. Everything was in place and ready to go... except for Wally!

Wally was planning on getting his own Pokemon for years but never got the courage to do so. Wally isn't exactly an independent individual, and no one in Hoenn knows that more than his parents. The chances of Wally going outside on his own is lesser than the chances of catching Rayquaza in a basic Pokeball. Making Wally's dream of being a traveling trainer unlikely.

Still, the next best thing for Wally is to have his own Pokemon. If he can't make it battle. At least he has one to play with when he's bored or to cheer him up when he's sad. His plan is simple, while his parents are packing up, he will sneak out of the house. The only thing standing in his way is his consience, Wally is very obedient to his parents. Unlike most kids, Wally finds it hard to disobey what mom and dad say. So this is like a robbers first day of burglarizing a PokeMart for Wally.

"Okay," Wally thought." Here I go. Just walk away, my parents are busy packing. Now is my chance. If I want to ask the local Gym leader for a Pokemon, now may be my final chance. ".

Wally takes his first step. Already he is dripping in sweat. He slowly walks the other side of the house. He reaches the door and slowly opens it, he goes outside and carefully closes the door.

"Phew! That was close!", said Wally

Before going to the gym, Wally takes a look at the neighborhood. The clear water of the lake, the dancing flowers. It was a sight Wally only sees through his window.

"Wow! And to think I spent most of my life at home.", Wally said.

Remembering his original goal. Wally approaches the gym. He enters the gym and sees two people.

One is Norman, the gym leader and a good friend of his parents. And another is a tween who appears to be the same age as he is. Wally assumes he is just a challenger.

"H-Hello.", Wally said nervously

"Hm, you're, uh, you're Wally, right?", He asked

"Yes, my family is moving to Vendaturf Town for a while. But I thought I might be lonely by myself, so I wanted to bring a Pokemon with me. But I never caught one before, I don't know how." says the boy

"I see, alright Brendan! You will accompany Brendan and make sure he safely catches a Pokemon!", said the gym leader

"Alright pops." The son replied

"Woah! That's his son?", Wally thought, he was not expecting to see the gym leader's son.

Norman approaches Wally and gives him a Pokeball.

"Here, I'll loan you a Pokemon, this contains Zigzagoon.", Norman said as he gave the child a Pokeball

(Wally obtained Zigzagoon!)

"Oh, wow! Thank you!", said the overjoyed child.

"I'll also loan you a Pokeball" Norman said.

(Wally obtained the Pokeball)

"Oh, wow! Thank you!" he said once again.

" C'mon. Let's go!" the eager Brendan said, he couldn't wait to see how this turns out.

Wally and Brendan exit the gym and is currently walking to Route 102.

Wally: So, the gym leader is your father?

Brendan: Yes. It's pretty cool actually.

Wally: Don't you feel lonely not seein your dad everyday?

Brendan: Now that I think of it, it would be pretty lonely. But I have only been in Hoenn for a for a few hours so I don't know how that feels yet.

The two boys arrive at the tall grass.

Wally: Pokemon hide in the tall grass like this. Right?

Brendan: Correct.

Wally: Please watch me and see if I can catch one properly.

Brendan: Okay.

Both: Woah!

(Wild Ralts Appears)

Brendan: I've never seen that Pokemon before!

Brendan brings out his Pokedex to scan Ralts

Pokedex: Ralts, the Feeling Pokemon. This Pokemon can scan peoples emotions with its red horn.

Wally: Go Zigzagoon!

Zigzagoon was thrown out of the Pokeball

Zigzagoon: (growls)

"Um, Brendan. What does Zigzagoon learn?" Wally asked, he didn't really think this through.

"Just tell it to use Tackle." Brendan responded.

"Alright, Zigzagoon use Tackle!" he ordered

Zigzagoon delivers a powerful tackle to Ralts

Ralts responds by growling at Zigzagoon

"Zigzagoon use Tackle again!"

Zigzagoon once again uses Tackle

"Alright, Zigzagoon! Return" he ordered

Zigzagoon is brought back to its Pokeball. Wally picks up the Pokeball given to him and throws at Ralts. The Pokeball shakes 3 times before Ralts submits and stays in the Pokeball.

"I did it! It's my Pokemon!" Wally exclaimed, he was filled with joy after catching his first Pokemon.

Brendan: Congratulations, Wally! Let's go back to the gym

Back at the gym, Wally and Brendan return to see Norman.

" So, did it work?" Norman asked.

" Yes!" said Wally, "Thanks to both of you for helping me catch my Pokemon. Now I gotta go, my parents must be looking for me by now."

As Wally exits the gym he sees his mother looking for him.

" There you are Wally! Where have you been?" said the obviously worried mother.

" Sorry for leaving mom," says Wally "but look! I now have a Pokemon!"

Wally sends out Ralts and shows it to his mother

" That's very nice Wally, but don't leave our home like that again!"

" Yes, mom"

" Now let's go. We're leaving now."

And with that, Wally and his parents moved to Vendaturf Town, with a new friend and a new enviroment. Wally is in for one heck of a ride!
