Welcome readers! I'm actually surprised this is as popular as it is, but who am I to question your taste in what you believe to be a quality fic? Sorry if I accidentally offended any of you with the previous statement.

J Whitnee: I'm not worthy!!! m(_ _)m I 'm not worthy!!! m(_ _)m

Silver Leafx: I wasn't aware ralts was that popular in fanfiction.

Chaotic Chaotix: In truth, Emil is based off of my ralts from Ruby.

Eveser: Have you ever heard the term 'God Stu' before? Because I think you've just submitted one, especially since I'm going the anime route with moves, meaning that any move a pokemon doesn't learn naturally they have to actually train to learn it. No TMs in this fic. Your dude has over fifty moves, that's making him a little over powered. Don't get me wrong he's still going to be in the fic, just much later and not join the main group.

Farla: Thank you for being the first person to leave constructed criticism! As of now that is the only planned flashback in the fic, but if there is another one I'll take your advice on it. As for the kirlia-trainer thing, who says it has to be a trainer? Why wouldn't they be able to get a boost from other pokemon? And for the final thing you wrote, I counter with the question of " If you don't like fics that that use OCs from other people why are you reading a fic that states it will be accepting them in the summary?" also the Pedestrian OC Form was a joke, and not meant to be taken seriously.

Flaaffy: Can't wait!

Ki-nee-chan: Um wow, first bio for an actual trainer and it was a lot deeper than expected. The only real problems are 1) No clue how Emil is going to make that possible and 2) You say the ability is Rain Dish, yet you describe it as Water Absorb, so which is the one you want?

On with the fic!

Emil awoke a little later than he would have liked. He wanted to leave before anyone else was up, but seeing as the sun was already shining through the clouds into his den, that wasn't an option anymore. I just have to hope that no one notices me leaving. Who am I kidding? Even though the den is close to the town, there are still plenty of pokemon between here and there. Emil thought with a sigh.

Emil poked his head out of his den to see if anyone was around. After making sure the coast was clear, Emil began tiptoeing his way to town. To his credit, he made it about halfway without getting seen by another pokemon. Unfortunately, that was when a speeding dark blue blur decided to ram into him from behind.

"Dood! Is it true that Cynthia's been captured!?" the dark blue pokemon asked way too loudly for Emil's liking.

"Scat, will you call down! You're making me freak out!" Emil responded with a bit of panic that was being transmitted to him by the pokemon known as Scat.

"Sorry, dood. I'm just worried about how you're coping with this and all." Scat replied after taking a few deep breaths.

"I'm fine. This isn't the first time a family has been broken up by a trainer and it won't be the last." Emil stated.

"You're fine? Dood, you're heading straight into mighty territory! I've always joked about that place being suicide for you. I thought you might've decided to take it literally, dood" Scat said as he moved to block Emil's path.

"Scat, you're my best friend. You know me better than that." Emil stated. "But speaking of pokemon going where they shouldn't, what are you doing here? Aren't surskit supposed to stay near the water?"

"Dood, I've been looking all over the place for you." Scat answered. "So why are you heading out this way anyway, dood?"

"Call me crazy, but…" Emil paused to take a breath "I'm planning to take on the Hoenn League."

"You're right, you are crazy. Good luck with that, dood!" Scat replied I'm not sure whether he's encouraging me, or being skeptical.

"Thanks, Scat. Just don't tell anyone else about this, k?" Emil asked. "See you when I'm a champion."

"Later, dood!" Scat said before zooming off, presumably to either the lake or to tell everyone what Emil was planning on doing.

After somehow making it through mightyena territory undetected, Emil had made it to the town. I haven't been here in ages. What was it that the humans called this place again? Petalburg, maybe? Strange name for a place that doesn't have a lot of flowers.

As Emil wandered around the town he heard several of the humans whispering to each other. He remembered that they did that the last time he was here, when his dad was showing him around. Didn't dad say there was a place I could go to if I had ever gotten into trouble? I think he said to 'look for the shelter with the red top.' Maybe someone there could tell me how I can become a champion.

It didn't take Emil long to find the shelter with a red top. As he saw it he began to run for it at full speed

*SMASH*

…only to crash into an invisible barrier.

What in the Great Earth Maker's name was that!? Emil thought as he began rubbing his now sore head.

Emil slowly stood back up and tentatively tried to stick his hand into the entrance, only for his hand to meet resistance. What the…? Emil began feeling the wall to try and find a weak point or someway of opening it.

Suddenly, the barrier moved out of existence, causing Emil to fall forward.

"Are you all right?" Emil heard someone ask. He looked up from the floor to see the speaker was a large round pink pokemon that had a pouch with an egg in it. The pink pokemon was also were a white thing on its head that had a red cross shape on it.

"Oh, I'm fine." Emil said as he picked himself off of the floor.

"I'm sorry to pry, but why is a wild pokemon wandering around town?" the pink pokemon asked.

"You can tell I'm wild?" Emil asked.

"Oh, yes. Trainers don't usually let their pokemon wander around alone. I don't mean to be rude but you haven't answered my question." The pokemon replied.

"Oh, sorry. Um, I'm here because I'm trying to find out how trainers become champions. I've heard them talk about becoming champion but I've never heard them say how." Emil responded. I don't think I've ever met a girl this polite before.

"Oh, I don't really know much about it myself. Maybe you should try the Gym. I may not know much I do know it involves the Gym. Just look for the other building with a red roof, it should be a bit larger than this building." the pokemon explained

"Thank you, um…." Emil trailed off upon realizing he had no idea who this girl was.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Alice." the pokemon now know as Alice replied.

"My name's Emil. Thanks for the help Alice." Emil said before leaving to find the Gym.

It didn't take Emil that long to find the supposed 'Gym' He rushed for the entrance to try and make up for all the time he wasted that day.

*SMASH*

… Why do humans have to cover the entrances to their shelters with invisible things? Emil thought as he rubbed his sore head. I didn't see what Alice did, but the thing moved out of the way last time. So maybe I can…

Emil began feeling the barrier again, but not with his hands this time. This time he was grasping with his psychic powers. He gave it a small push, and nothing happened. He tried and with more force, and again nothing happened. He tried once more with everything he had.

*CRASH*

The barrier shattered and loud noises where coming from inside when the shards crashed into to stuff. Emil fell to ground holding his head. Ok, using psychic powers with a headache was not one of my better ideas. Still better then that time Scat convinced me to throw that ball of water at a sleeping mightyena

"What's going on in here!?" I looked up to see two humans had entered from another entrance, one that had a visible cover.

One of them had dark fur with matching eyes. He had sort of red thing on his upper body that covered everything up to his wrist, minus the head. On his legs was some blue material I think the trainers called them jeans. He had black sturdy looking black things covering his feet.

The other one had brown fur, some of it even was even growing o his chin. There was a blue covering over his upper body, and over that was a white thing that kind of reminded Emil of his mother. Something was covering just the upper portions of his legs. The things on his feet looked like pieces of wood with a leaf attached to them by both ends.

"Hm? What is a ralts doing here?" the one with the white covering asked.

"I came here to find out how to become a champion." Emil answered. The two humans just continued to stare at him Oh yeah, humans can't understand pokemon. So why can pokemon understand humans? Arg, now is not the time to be thinking about that! Come on, think! Hmm, maybe I can try telepathy? Mom only taught me the basics, but it looks like that's the only option.

Emil began focusing on the human with the white covering - Testing. Testing. One, two, three, testing -

The human jolted, startled from the combination of telepathic communication and the unusual message being communicated.

"Something wrong?" the red wearing human asked.

"No, the ralts is just trying to communicate with me. Alright, Ralts, I hear you. Can I ask why you're here?" the white wearing man responded.

- First, my name is Emil, not ralts. Second, I came here to find out how to become a champion. –

"Hmm, interesting." The man muttered.

"What's interesting?" the red wearing man asked.

"Apparently, this ralts, named Emil, wants to know how to become a champion." The man in white explained.

"You're telling me a wild pokemon wants to become a champion?" the man in red asked.

"That is correct. So, Emil, why is it that you want to become champion in the first place?" the man in white asked.

- I think you humans are getting too much credit for what the pokemon they've captured do. - I thought to him

"So you believe that the champion's pokemon aren't getting enough credit. Fascinating." The white wearing man responded.

"So you've come to challenge my Gym?" the man in red asked. Emil could only stare at him in confusion.

"To become champion, a trainer must first collect a total of eight badges. To get these badges, the trainer must across the region and beat all the Gym Leaders in a pokemon battle. A tournament is then held once every year, were all those who have received all eight badges compete against one another to become champion." The man in white explained. This sound like its going to be a lot harder then I thought it was going to be.

- If that's what I"ve got to do, then I will. - Emil thought at the man who claimed the Gym to be his.

"Alright, follow me. Would you mind acting as the referee, Professor?" The man asked. Professor? Weird name.

"Not at all, but shouldn't we do something about all this glass?" Professor asked.

"The janitor should be coming in a few minutes anyway. I'll just pay him a little bonus to clean this up." The man in red answered.

Emil followed the humans further inside the Gym. Eventually they came to a huge area, with miniature suns shining down on lines drawn on the ground in the shape of a rectangle, with a line going a cross the middle.

"Stay on this side of the field until the battle starts." The man in red told him before heading to the far side of the field.

"This an official Gym Battle between Norman, of the Petalburg Gym, and the challenger Emil. This will be a one-on-one pokemon battle! Begin!" Professor said from his position at the edge of the halfway line.

"Let's go, Vigoroth!" Norman called out as he through his pokeball.

The pokemon that emerged was covered in white fur with a tear shaped tuft of red fur on its forehead. It had really long arms with two claws on each and foot. It had two round circles around its eyes and its jaw was a matching color.

"Vigoroth, use Scratch!" Norman commanded. The pokemon, apparently Vigoroth, rushed at Emil.

And then the world went black.

AN: I think I'll end this here. Most one-sided gym battle ever. Happy new years and Happy B-day, Ki-nee-chan!

All OCs this chapter belong to me, and in all honesty were made up on the spot.

It was a lot harder to write this chapter then I thought it was going to be. I actually wanted to put more in but thought that it would make it too long.

Keep the OCs coming!
