'''Michael''' (Japanese: '''リュウト''' ''Ryūto'') is the protagonist of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Like most protagonists, his name is customizable.


He has a [[Snag Machine]] -- like [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s Hero, [[Wes]] -- and an Aura Searcher, which makes the Dark Auras of [[Shadow Pokémon]] visible as they were to Wes's sidekick, [[Rui]].
Michael has a [[Snag Machine]] similar to that of [[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 is given these at the beginning of the game.
 
==Storyline==
[[File:Shadow Radar.png|thumb|left|200px|Michael about to notice a Shadow Pokémon]]
Michael lives at [[Professor Krane]]'s Pokémon lab in [[Orre]] with his mother, {{OBP|Lily|XD}}, who works for Professor Krane, and his sister, [[Jovi]]. He is an up-and-coming Trainer ready for his own journey with his {{p|Eevee}}, a Pokémon entrusted to him by his late 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 all of the {{tc|Cipher Peon}}s and {{tc|Cipher Admin|Admins}} whom he encounters, but he also snags the Shadow Pokémon in their possession. His final feat is the capture of Greevil's full-fledged team of Shadow Pokémon, including [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]]. His achievement brings about the disbandment of Cipher, at least under Greevil and [[Eldes]]'s 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 {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}}, one of whose father is a [[Norman|Gym Leader]] and the other a [[Professor Birch|Pokémon Professor]], but also to other [[player character]]s whose fathers are not present.
 
While Michael's adventures in Orre take place during Generation III, he encounters two [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Bonsly}}, with Bonsly being used in [[Battle Bingo]] and Munchlax appearing outside of battle.

==Trivia==
*When snagging a [[Shadow Pokémon]], Michael uses his left hand to throw a Snag Ball. However, when attempting to capture a [[wild Pokémon]], he uses his right hand.
**This could be due to the fact that the [[Snag Machine]] is on his left arm, and is not necessary for capturing wild Pokémon.
*The [[Strategy Memo]]'s size comparison suggests that Michael is about 4'07" (1.4 m).
*During the [[Pokémon XD beta|development]] of Pokémon XD, Michael was going to have a {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Jolteon}} as his first Pokémon instead.
*In the demo of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness; Michael has {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Parasect}} on his team, both at level 40.
