Michael (Japanese: リュウト Ryūto) is the protagonist of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Michael has a Snag Machine, similar to Pokémon Colosseum's hero, Wes - and an Aura Reader, which makes the dark auras exuded by Shadow Pokémon visible as they were to Wes's companion, Rui. He was given these at the beginning of the game.

His mother Lily, who works for Professor Krane, his sister Jovi and he live at Krane's Pokémon lab in Orre. He is an upcoming Trainer ready for his own journey with his Eevee, his starter Pokémon entrusted to him by his father. Traveling across Orre, he seeks to defeat the criminal organization Cipher, which is now under Grand Master Greevil's plot to wield an army of Shadow Pokémon in order to rule the world.

Not only does Michael successfully defeat the entirety of Cipher Peons and Admins whom he encounters, but he also snags the Shadow Pokémon in their possession. His final feat is the capturing of Greevil's full-fledged team of Shadow Pokémon, including XD001. His achievement brings upon the disbandment of Cipher, at least under Greevil and Eldes' leadership.

During the game, Michael's father is mentioned multiple times as a distinguished public figure, but he is in fact deceased. This makes Michael similar to May and Brendan, one of whose father is a Gym Leader and the other - a Pokémon Professor, but also to the other player characters whose father is not present.

Michael also encounters two Generation IV Pokémon, Munchlax and Bonsly, with Bonsly being used in Battle Bingo and Munchlax appearing outside of battle.
