Wally (Japanese: ミツル Mitsuru) is one of the two rival characters in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, the other being Brendan/May. He is the first rival not to be the player's first battle, and the first rival not to have a starter Pokémon. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wally in his later battles possesses a Gallade which can Mega Evolve with his handmade wooden Mega Pendant which holds his Key Stone. His mega pendant is shaped like a Gallade's head.

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, suggesting that it is either acute bronchitis or asthma.

In the games

Role

Wally is a sick young boy who asks 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 asked his child, the player of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, to assist Wally and loaned Wally a Zigzagoon.

Using this Pokémon, Wally was able to capture a Ralts. While this is the catching tutorial in these games, in the game it is the player who is teaching Wally to catch wild Pokémon.

Wally shows up again later in Mauville City, pleading with his uncle to let him challenge Wattson. He battles the player to prove his strength, but loses. He decides his uncle is right but says he will train to get stronger.

Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player close to the entrance^E/at the end^RS of 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.

Wally makes a return in the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. This time, instead of Gardevoir, his Ralts evolves into a Gallade. At some point in the game, Wally obtains a Key Stone and Mega Pendant, allowing his Gallade to Mega Evolve. He also obtains all eight badges as he becomes a Certified Trainer at every Gym; the player can follow Wally's progress on the Hoenn News Network and see his name on the Gym statues starting from the time Mt. Chimney is explored.

Quotes

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

Petalburg Gym

"Um… I… I'd like to get a Pokémon, please…

"I'm going to go stay with my relatives in Verdanturf Town. I thought I would be lonely by myself, so I wanted to take a Pokémon along. But I've never caught a Pokémon before. I don't know how…"

"Oh, wow! A Pokémon!"

"Oh, wow! Thank you!"

"<player>… Would you really come with me?"

Route 102

"<player>… Pokémon hide in tall grass like this, don't they? Please watch me and see if I can catch one properly. …Whoa!"

"You throw a Ball now, right? I… I'll do my best!"

"I did it… It's my… My Pokémon! <player>, thank you! Let's go back to the Gym!"

Petalburg Gym

"Thank you, yes, it did. Here's your Pokémon back. <player>, thank you for coming along with me. You two are why I was able to catch my Pokémon. I promise I'll take really good care of it. Oh! My mom's waiting for me, so I have to go! Bye, <player>!

Mauville City

• Before battle

"Aww, Uncle, please? I want to challenge this Gym and see how much better I've become. Please? May I, please?"

"I'm not pushing it. If I combine forces with Ralts, we can beat anyone!"

"Oh! Hi, <player>! I've gotten a lot stronger since we met. <Player>, I want you and my Uncle to understand that. <Player>, please, will you have a battle with me?"

Yes: "<player>, thank you. Okay… Here I come!"

No: "Oh… If you won't battle me, <player>, my Uncle won't know that I've become really strong."

• Being defeated

"I lost…"

• After being defeated

"Uncle… I'll go back to Verdanturf…"

"<player>, thank you. Being a Trainer is tough, isn't it? It's not enough just to have Pokémon and make them battle. That isn't what being a real Trainer is about."

Match Call^E

"Oh, hello, <player>! I just wanted to tell you that my uncle bought me a PokéNav! Now I can get in touch with you anytime, <player>!"

Wanda's house

"I lost to you, <player>, but I'm not feeling down anymore. Because I have a new purpose in life. Together with my Ralts, I'm going to challenge Pokémon Gyms and become a great Trainer. Please watch me, <player>. I'm going to be stronger than you. When I do, I'm going to challenge you to another battle."

• If talked to once again

"Please watch me, <player>. I'm going to get stronger than you. When I do, I'm going to challenge you to another battle."

Victory Road

• Before battle

"Hi! <player>! I bet you're surprised to see me here! I made it all the way here, and it's all thanks to you! <Player>, losing to you that time made me stronger! But I'm not going to lose anymore! I'm going to win! For the Pokémon who gave me courage and strength! Okay… Here I come! "

• Being defeated

"Wow! <player>, you are strong, after all!"

• After being defeated

"I couldn't beat you today, <player>, but one of these days, I'll catch up to you!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Petalburg Gym

"Um… E-excuse me… I… I'd like to get a Pokémon, please…"

"Y-yes… I'm supposed to go stay with my relatives in Verdanturf Town for a while. But I thought I might be lonely by myself, so I wanted to bring a Pokémon with me. But I've never caught a Pokémon by myself… I'm not sure if I can."

"Oh, wow… Your Pokémon, sir?"

"Th-thank you, Mr. Norman! Um… <player>? You will… You will come with me, right?"

Route 102

"<player>… Pokémon hide in tall grass like this, don't they? P-please stay there to watch and see if I can catch one properly. Wh-whoa!"

• During catching tutorial

"I'm su-supposed to try to weaken the Pokémon before I throw my Poké Ball, right? I read that in a book recently."

• After tutorial

"I did it… It's my… My own Pokémon! Thanks so much, <player>! Let's head back to the Gym!"

Petalburg Gym - after tutorial

"Yes, it did! Thank you! Let me give you back your Pokémon, sir. And you, <player>… Thank you so much for coming with me. It was all thanks to you two that I was able to catch Ralts. My very own Ralts… I will always, always treasure it! …Oh, I know! It's not much of a thank-you, but… um… <player>? Will you let me see your PokéNav Plus for a second? OK, that and… ummm… there!"

"I read in a book how you can use the PlayNav to take care of your Pokémon and train them. And there's even supposed to be this thing called the PSS, where you can meet up with other Trainers and battle friends and more! I've wanted to have my own Pokémon for so long… and do all those kinda things together… So I've had all these kinds of apps installed on my PokéNav Plus for ages! Embarrassing, huh? I'm going to try my best together with Ralts. You do your best, too, <player>! Oh, but mom's waiting for me. I've got to get going! I hope we'll meet again, <player>! And you, too, Mr. Norman!"

Mauville City

"Wow! So this is Mauville City!"

"No, thank you! I want to challenge the Gym right away!"

"Let me see... I'm pretty sure the Gym is..."

"Yup! Straight ahead this way! Just through the inner courtyard!"

Front of Mauville Gym

"Uncle! I'm begging you!"

"I want to challenge this Gym to see how much stronger I've become!"

"Please! You'll let me, won't you?"

"I'm not pushing it!"

"If it's me and my Ralts, we can beat anyone!"

• Before battle

"Ah, <player>! Ralts and I have gotten a lot stronger since we first met. Growing together! I want to prove that to you and my uncle both, <player>. Please...help me once more... And have a battle with me!"

Yes: "Thank you, <player>. OK. Here we go! We're going to win this, Ralts! We have to!"

No: "But if you won’t battle against me, <player>... I don’t think my uncle will believe that I’ve really gotten stronger. <player>, please! Battle with me!"

• After refusing and talking to again

"<player>, please! Battle with me!"

• Being defeated

"Wow... You really are strong, <player>!"

• After being defeated

"Uncle... I'll go back to Verdanturf... <player>, thank you... Being a trainer is tough, isn't it? It's not enough just to battle with your Pokémon. I can't become a true Trainer like that... Not really..."

"..."

"...Yes, Uncle. <player>... I... I'm definitely... I'm going to get stronger. Much, much stronger! I feel like I learned a lot from just one Pokémon battle with you... About my own limits...and Ralts's... So...um... That's why... <player>... If it's all right... Could I... Could I call you...my r-riv-- Ah, never mind! S-sorry! It was nothing! Please forget about it! Guh...good-bye!"

Victory Road

• Before battle

"Ah! <player>! I bet you must be surprised to see me in a place like this! That promise that we made back then... Thank you for keeping your end of it. It was really all thanks to you that I could make it this far, <player>. It was only because I lost to you back then that I could become even stronger. I'm sure that you and your Pokémon must have had to overcome a lot, too... To make it all the way here. Right, <player>? Everyone's grown so much... And now we'll get to see just what we all can do. Standing here facing you again gives me chills... ...But I won't give up! I won't lose anymore. My Pokémon have given me the courage and strength to fight. I have to win for their sake! So get ready... Here I come!"

• Being defeated

"... I've lost..."

• After being defeated

"... ... Arghhh!!! ... ... ...Hah. <player>, you... And your Pokémon, too... Thank you for not holding back when you battled against us... For not holding back when you beat us... And... Gallade... Everyone.... Thank you so much... I feel like I've been able to take another step forward thanks to you! Oh! I know! I'll give you this to keep. I hope it will always remind you of your battle with me... and with Gallade and the rest of my team. If you have a male Kirlia as one of your partners, <player>, I hope that you might use that Dawn Stone on it for me. I couldn't beat you this time, <player>. But I'll stay here and continue training. And one day... Look out! I swear I'll catch up to you one day! When I do, promise we'll battle again! That's a promise I intend to live up to!"

Battle Resort

• Enter the Battle Resort for the first time

"Ah! <player>! So you came, too! Mr. Norman actually gave me a ticket as well. I just got here a little while ago. So this is the Battle Resort... A tropical paradise that only the lucky few get to visit..."

"I'm getting pumped just standing here! Let's check it out!"

"I'm s-sorry, ma'am, sir...Running into you like that..."

• After encountering Team Aqua/Magma

"Wow... Incredible..."

"Challenge?"

"Oh, is that right? But where can we battle?"

"No, I don't..."

"Thank you very much. We will be sure to do that!"

"The Battle Maison..."

"I'm curious about what kind of place it is, but I think I'll take a look around the island first. I've never been so far from home before, and I've never visited anything like a resort! So I'll be off exploring, <player.. But I'll see you later! I hope we can battle again, here in this resort!"

• When selected for the Multi Battle challenge

”I hope you can bear with me, <player!> I’m going to take this chance to study how a Champion fights from right up close!”

• After ending the Multi Battle challenge

“O-oh... That’s too bad... I hope you’ll ask me again someday...”

• After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge

”Thank you so much, <player>! Me and my Pokémon both gained a lot from being able to fight beside you!”

• After losing the Multi Battle challenge

”I’m s-sorry... I guess me and my team just got in your way...”

• After the monument is built

"This monument was built to commemorate you, wasn't it? That's amazing! You really are Hoenn's top Trainer, <player>."

"Umm... You are...?"

"That many?!"

"I see..."

"So there are still other Trainers who are that passionate about Pokémon battles... Wow! I feel like trying harder seeing that. I'm sure I can still become stronger! I'll see you later then, <player>! I'm going off to train some more!"

• Before battle (first)

"<player>! How are you doing? I've been training nonstop—so I was taking a short rest. Since I managed to run into you, <player>, it seems like this will be a perfect chance to see how much I've improved!"

• Being defeated

"Ugh. So this is my limit."

• If talked to after being defeated

"I knew my team makeup was still off. Then...I guess I need to take this guy out. No, if I do that, I'll be wide open for... Hmm... Then if I replace this move here... Yeah... Yeah, that should do it! Oh! Excuse me! I couldn't help myself! But you're just as brilliant in battle as ever, <player>! Still, don't you count on me just losing to you forever. I've met a lot of people who have helped me grow since coming to the Battle Resort, and it has reminded me all over again how much fun it is to really go all out in battle! Thanks again, <player>! Let's battle again sometime!"

• Before battle (rematch)

"<Player>! Please see how much my training has accomplished! This time my team is the best it can be!"

• Being defeated (rematch)

"Gaaahhh!"

• If talked to after being defeated (rematch)

"Hah...hah... Maybe I need to start again from scratch. But you performed as well as I'd expect, <player>! You even beat the best team I could put together! And, well, Pokémon battling really is great, isn't it? When I get to spend every day training and battling like this, I really can't help thinking, so... I enjoy every day so much that I really think I finally found where I belong. I...I'm going to keep getting stronger! So please battle with me again!"

Trivia

• He has the same Chinese name as Dawn.
• In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Wally challenges the player near the exit of Victory Road, whereas in Emerald, he is met after crossing the first bridge. Despite this, the rematches with him occur near the end of Victory Road, regardless of the game.
• In the Generation III games, it is possible for the capture tutorial to end with Ralts fainting. This can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, and the wild Ralts has a Nature that lowers Defense, an IV of 3 or less in HP, and 5 or less in Defense. With all this, Zigzagoon can do a maximum of 10 damage with its first Tackle, and after Growl is used on it, 7 with its second. This makes for a total of 17 damage, just enough to knock out Ralts. However, the game continues on as if it had been caught. The probability of this occurring is (182/800)*(4/25)*(4/32)*(6/32)*(5/16)*(7/16), or about 1 in 8574.
  • In the Generation III games, it is also possible for Wally to catch a Shiny Ralts in the tutorial. However, it will not stay Shiny in subsequent battles.

This video is not available on Bulbapedia; instead, you can watch the video on YouTube here.

• Wally is the first rival that the player cannot name under any circumstances. This does not count Brendan and May, as they are also player characters, and thus the player can name them if they are chosen.
• In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after the player defeats Maxie^OR or Archie^AS at Mt. Chimney, Wally is listed as a certified Trainer at all Hoenn Pokémon Gyms.
  • As the player visits Lavaridge Town after these events, all Gyms from that point onwards (including the Petalburg Gym) list Wally's name first while Wally's name appears second at the first three Gyms.
• In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when Wally is battled on Victory Road, he gets his own battle theme, unlike in the original games. This later becomes his encounter theme when he is rematched at the Battle Resort.
