Fics like In the eye of the beholder

In a world where most people learned how to partake in pokémon battles before they even knew how to read or write, it wasn’t uncommon for up-and-coming young pokémon trainers to rise to fame occasionally. Wallace was well-aware of the fact battling drew a lot more attention than pokémon contests, and while he could get a little petty about that, it wasn’t too big of a deal since he enjoyed both. His master, Juan, was training him to become a master in both arts, and he couldn’t be more grateful to learn about the finer details of the two crafts. Which was perhaps the very reason he felt so offended at the fact some snobby rich heir from Rustboro had seemingly gotten famous overnight. Steven Stone – yes, that Stone family, owner of the Devon Corporation and all that – was being praised for his skills and talents as a pokémon trainer, without even having earned his first gym badge yet. --- Or: The first meeting of Wallace and Steven; in which Wallace learns not to judge a stone by its appearance, and Steven makes a friend who's willing to listen to his ramblings about fancy rocks.
