Summary
“It can’t be that bad,” Will reasoned, because what Annabeth was saying highlighted the importance of an expectation; a planned design; a predetermined path. To follow the story that was written for you. But, from what he’d learned from ancient myths, things like fate were always given to the heroes. And Will—well, he wasn’t made out to be someone like that.
“Yes, it is! If you went on a quest or had to fight a monster without—”
“Annabeth, come on. Me—on a quest? Fighting a monster? That stuff’s for the half-bloods like you. The ones with the prophecies and the big destinies. We can’t all become myths and legends.” And that was okay; Will was fine staying in the safety of Camp Half-Blood. He was fine with taking care of its campers. With doing what was expected of him as a healer. With fulfilling his duty.
She rolled her eyes at him, as if she understood something he didn’t. “I don’t think I was completely wrong when I thought you were the one. We don’t know why yet, but I know—you’re going to be important, Will.”

Summary
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.
