AN: Welcome one and all to the next installment of WSYNATTBAC! (Anyone know how to pronounce that?)

Sorry for the delay, a virus outbreak infected my computer, plus Hour of Darkness is addicting. Added on to that is laziness with a worth ethic of ZERO

Adurna Rider of Kveykva: Sorry for the delay

Ki-nee-chan: Isn't Norman the fifth gym leader?

Eveser: No problem.

EmeraldCelebi13: Haven't decided yet.

DelinquentDuo: I was honestly thinking about trying to put the quote "What happened? I blinked and missed it." somewhere in that chapter.

Flaaffy: I don't think I'll be using your OC "She knows she's needed on the team and often lords this over everyone else's heads." "All in all, she's an annoying, temperamental, but necessary part of the team. Unfortunately, she's there to stay, whether the other team members like it or not." Please don't assume that every pokemon submitted will join Emil's party. Also I recall fire types have bad luck with the gyms of this region so I don't exactly see how she would be needed

This also brings me to another point. Can you people please stop submitting OCs that either A) belonged to a champion at one point or B) hold a hatred for humans.

Actually, I think I'll stopping taking OCs in general. I made this fic an OC acceptance fic because I thought I wouldn't be able to come up with all the OCs need on my own. Now I realize that I was wrong. But I would like to point out that if you've already submitted an OC it may show up in the fic.

Visit the Forum Grey Hat, Purple Scarf. We have muffins!

On with the fic!

The first thing Emil became aware of was that he was lying on something soft. The softest thing he could remember laying on his whole existence. It was so comfortable he felt as if he never wanted to get up again. Wait a second. Wasn't I in a battle? Yeah, I was battling that gym leader what was his name again? Nor-something, Normini? Normon? Norway? Normal? Norman? Yeah that's it Norman.

Begrudgingly, Emil managed to rouse himself. When he opened his eyes, all that met his vision was white. The walls, the ceiling, everything white as can be. Turning his gaze downward Emil saw that something soft, thin, and, of course, white was covering his body. What ever it was slid off him as he sat up.

Emil's hands rushed to his head as he suddenly felt a wave of pain. What's going on?

Suddenly a noise was heard that could only described as whoosh was then followed by a familiar voice.

"Oh, you awake! Are you all right?" the voice asked with concern. Looking over, confirmed that it was Alice.

"Alice? What happened? Where am I?" Emil asked as the concern being transmitted by the pink pokemon gave him something to focus on other than the pain.

"I'm sorry but I don't know what happened. This seems to happen to every pokemon that enters the gym. I'm sorry for not warning you. As for where you are, you're at the Pokemon Center." Alice explained.

"Pokemon Center? What's that?" Emil asked her.

"Oh! It's kind of like a hospital for Pokemon." Alice explained. Now if I only knew what a hospital was.

Once more the whoosh sound filled the room as a female human entered the room. She had light red fur on her head that went down to her shoulders, but looped back up to her head. She had a pink covering on, but over that was a white covering. On her head was the same thing that was on Alice's head. In her hand she had what looked like a thin rectangle of wood.

"How are you?" she asked.

"I'm fine." Emil replied, before he remembered that she wouldn't be able to understand him.

"You appear to be fine. You took a nasty blow, but it didn't do any lasting damage. You'll need to take things easy for a while, though." She said as she looked at the wooden rectangle in her hand.

As she turned to leave, she stopped as whoosh sounded off once more. "Oh before I forget, Professor Birch said he would like for you to go met him at his lab when you are able." With that said she left the room, but Emil could have sworn he heard her mutter something about 'eccentric professors who need to learn how to drive.'

A minute of silence passed before Emil's curiosity got the better of him. "What's a lab and were do I find it?" He asked as he turned to Alice.

"Oh a lab is a large building where humans conduct research." Alice explained before she paused and a thoughtful look appeared on her face. "I think his lab is in Littleroot."

"Littleroot? Where's that?" Are all the plants and trees really tiny there? Probably not since Petalburg doesn't seem to have a lot of flowers.

"Do you know were Oldale town is?" Alice asked. Emil replied with a nod. Of course I do that's where all the new trainers come from.

"Just head south from there. You should be able to get there in a day or two." Alice stated.

"Thank you." Emil replied as he hopped of the comfy surface onto the smooth hard floor. He reached a hand up to his forehead when he was hit with a sudden dizziness. It took only a moment for him to steady himself, but Alice noticed his momentary weakness.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Alice asked as she hurried to Emil's side.

"I'm fine. It's just a headache." Emil said as he headed to the rooms exit

Only to crash into another invisible barrier. Oh! For the love of the Great Sea Maker! Why do humans have to put these invisible coverings over every passage!

Fortunately Emil's irritation and ranting was cut off by Alice's concern.

"Oh my! Are you alright?" Alice asked as she helped Emil off the floor. For some reason Emil felt his face heat up.

"I-I'm fine." Emil stuttered out. For some reason he couldn't look directly at Alice, he felt he might pass out if he did so.

"Are you sure? Your face is becoming quite red." Alice noted.

"Ye-yeah, I'm s-sure." Emil replied, his face getting even hotter. Suddenly a thought struck him and his body returned to normal. "Um, Alice, how do I get out of here?" Emil asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize you would have trouble getting through the door." Alice commented before she stepped in front of the exit. The whoosh sound was heard again. Seeing the confused look and curious look on Emil's face, Alice elaborated. "The doors are pressure sensitive. They only open when a certain amount of weight is put in front of them."

So the 'doors' didn't open because I'm too light. "Thanks for explaining that." Emil replied.

"Would you like me to guide you to the main entrance?" Alice asked as they left the white room.

"Oh, um, yeah. I would like that." Emil said. What is wrong with me? He thought as he felt his face heat up again.

It was a short walk through the slight maze of corridors that passed mostly in silence. Emil spent the walk trying to figure out what was going on with him. Unfortunately he couldn't come up with an answer.

"Here we are." Alice stated, snapping Emil out of his thoughts.

"I guess this is goodbye then." Emil said as Alice opened the 'door.'

"I'm sure we'll see each other again soon." Alice replied, and for some reason Emil felt his heart skip a beat.

"Um, Alice? I-I just want t-to say 'thank you' for all that you've done for me." Emil stuttered out.

"There's no need for thanks, it was my pleasure to help. Please stop by sometime in the future." Alice said.

With everything said and done Emil headed to Route 102, the setting sun setting the sky a glow as he walked of to his next destination.

AN: I think I'll stop it there I wanted to add more but I think you guys have waited long enough. I had so much writes block for this chapter, and when I was finally inspired to write, my sister wouldn't stop bugging me to play New Super Marios Bros. Wii with her, which pretty much killed my muse.

While writing this chpater I came across a neat little fact. Hoenn is supossedly the most 'country' of the regions yet has more towns and cities then any other region.

I can't think of anything else to say so, Ta-ta and pleasant Nightmares!
