Chapter Three of Emerald Perspectives is up.

Like so many things, if you actually stop and pay close attention to what you're given, there's a lot you can read into the scene. The actual dialogue is:

"Um... I... I'd like to get a pokemon, please..."

"Hm? You're... Uh... Oh, right. You're Wally, right?"

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

"Hm. I see. May, you heard that, right? Go with Wally and make sure that he safely catches a pokemon. Wally, here, I'll loan you my pokemon."

"Oh, wow! A pokemon!"

"Hm, I'll give you a pokeball, too. Go for it!"

"Oh, wow! Thank you! May... would you really come with me?"

--

"May... Pokemon hide in tall grass like this, don't they? Please watch me and see if I can catch one properly. ...Whoa!"

(Releases zigzagoon and orders tackle. Recalls zigzagoon.)

"You throw a pokeball now, right? ...I'll do my best!"

"I did it... It's my... My pokemon! May, thank you! Let's go back to the gym!"
