'''Wally''' (Japanese: '''ミツル''' ''Mitsuru'') is one of the two [[rival]] characters in Pokémon {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and Pokémon {{v2|Emerald}}, the other being {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}. He is the first rival ''not'' to be the player's first {{pkmn|battle}}, and the first rival not to have a [[starter Pokémon]].

Wally is a young, sickly boy who just moved to [[Petalburg City]]. Despite his illness, his dream is to train [[Pokémon]].

His illness is never explained but his symptoms appear to clear up in clean air, so it may be {{wp|asthma}}.

==In the games==
[[Image:Wally_game.PNG|thumb|left|Wally's sprite from {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
Wally was a sick young boy who asked [[Norman]], the Petalburg [[Gym Leader]], to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to [[Verdanturf Town]] to live with his aunt and uncle.

[[Norman]] allowed his child, the {{player}} of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to assist Wally, and loaned Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}}.

Using this, Wally was able to capture a {{p|Ralts}}. This is the catching tutorial of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Ironically, it is the player who is teaching Wally to catch Pokémon.

Wally later shows up again in [[Mauville City]], pleading with his uncle to let him challenge [[Wattson]]. He battles the player to prove his strength, but loses.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at the end of {{ho|Victory Road}} in [[Ever Grande City]], seemingly totally recovered from his illness. He remains there, and it is possible to fight him several times per day.

According to the {{DL|PokéNav|Trainer's Eyes}}, Wally's strategy is "We let it all hang out." Wally's favorite type of Pokémon is "{{p|Ralts|The 1st Pokémon I caught}}", and his self-introduction is "Pokémon and I have grown stronger together".

===[[Pokémon]]===
This listing is for Wally's Pokémon in the video games in which he has appeared.

====Cutscene====
[[Norman]] loans this Pokémon to Wally to show him how to catch Pokémon.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Wallywallywally.jpg|thumb|right|Wally in the manga]]
Wally's first Pokémon was a Ralts that {{adv|Ruby}} loaned him, and a {{p|Kecleon}} he caught himself. His "starter" Pokémon was a {{p|Treecko}} which he rescued after [[Professor Birch]] lost it in a flood.

Wally asked Norman to teach him about Pokémon and help him catch one, but Norman refused after seeing how sickly Wally was.

Ruby seemed to take quickly to Wally, possibly because Norman didn't like Wally, and decided to help the other boy. Ruby loaned Wally his Ralts, nicknamed "Ruru", and Wally was able to capture a Kecleon.

Unfortunately, before Ruru could be returned to her rightful owner, an earthquake caused Ruby to fall into the sea.

The next time Wally is seen, he is rescuing the old man who looks for [[Mirage Island]] in Pacifidlog Town, from {{p|Kyogre}}'s flood. It would seem that Wally had managed to recover much from his illness by then, and had been traveling around [[Hoenn]] for quite some time.

Norman, who had just been passing by, finally agreed to take Wally on as a student, and told him to come to the [[Sky Pillar]].

There, Norman revealed that what he had been training Ruby for since he was very young was to help Norman awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. Norman could only accomplish this with someone the size of a 10-year old boy.

Even though he's healthier, Wally wears a suit with a respirator built into it, showing that his sickness could be some form of asthma.

Wally acquired his {{p|Cacnea}} while traveling through the desert, his Roselia on {{rt|117}}, and Norman gave him his {{p|Flygon}}. Most of this occurred off-panel.

Wally was once believed to be a representation of {{v2|Emerald}} because of his all-green team and mainly green wardrobe. However, he's not a [[Pokédex Holder]] and he debuted long before any announcements of Pokémon Emerald appeared, which means he was never intended to be Emerald representation. Due to that, a [[Emerald (Adventures)|new character]] was created for that role.

==Trivia==
* Though he is never classified as a "rival" in the games themselves, Wally essentially takes the place of {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} as the player's rival after he/she decides to help with [[Professor Birch]]'s studies rather than be a competitive Trainer.
** This also makes him the only rival who is not related to a celebrity or well-known trainer, unlike {{ga|Blue}} ([[Professor Oak]]), {{ga|Silver}} ([[Giovanni]]), {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}} ([[Professor Birch]]), and {{ga|Barry}} ({{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}).
* He shares the same Chinese name with {{ga|Dawn}}.
* Wally is the only [[rival]] character to not have a Pokémon received from the professor of that region, not counting {{ga|Silver}}, who stole his.

Talk:Reshiram (Pokémon)

Temsol: /* Possible Name Origin? */

{{forums notice|March 31, 2011}}

== Possible coincidental origin? ==

(No idea what to title this section) I know that we know almost absolutely nothing on the actual origins of Reshiram and Zekrom, but ever since noticing that Zekrom is in White and Reshiram is in Black, it sorta brought me to mind of the concept of {{wp|Yin and yang}}. This is probably just coincidence and means absolutely nothing, but something I decided to bring up nonetheless. [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 00:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
:That's been on a lot of people's minds since the game names were out. But with the switched legendaries, maybe we can look more into it.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 00:51, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
::We have very limited information right now, and I think anything we post now will be speculation at best. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 00:58, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
:::If you look at a Yin and Yang symbol, you'll see that each color has a dot of the opposite color inside. [[User:Puceron|Puceron]] 01:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
::::It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 02:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::Maybe it´s just a coincidence. I think we will have to wait until the release of the games for further details. [[User:D.hgss|D.hgss]] 08:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

==Physiology for the admins to implement==
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram’s snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram’s face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram’s neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the “wrists” of Reshiram’s forelimbs. Reshiram’s forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram’s chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a Silver Wing, with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram’s thighs, its feet with large claws---three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram’s tail is a thick mass of a centermost plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands.

(Reshiram is some feat to describe, which is why I split the description into two paragraphs.) [[User:Steph|Steph]] 16:37, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Update note - There's an important feature that most people tend to not notice. Reshiram's 'tail' looks uncannily like a traditional fire torch, only without colour and turned on its side. This feature no doubt is the only sort of physical inclination of the Pokemon's fire type. The central plume being the flame and the rings being the metal barriers. - Comfy Shorts (user)

== Possible coincidental origin? ==

(No idea what to title this section) I know that we know almost absolutely nothing on the actual origins of Reshiram and Zekrom, but ever since noticing that Zekrom is in White and Reshiram is in Black, it sorta brought me to mind of the concept of {{wp|Yin and yang}}. This is probably just coincidence and means absolutely nothing, but something I decided to bring up nonetheless. [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 00:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
