'''{{tt|Blowing Past Nosepass I|VIZ Media}}/{{tt|VS Nosepass I|Chuang Yi}}''' or '''Gym Challenge With Roxanne''' (Japanese: '''VS ノズパスI''' ''VS Nosepass I'' or '''カナズミのジム試験''' ''{{tt|Kanazumi|Rustboro}} Gym Test'') is the 190th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

The round opens to Sapphire running with [[Chic]] and [[Rono]] as she recites her promise to deliver a letter to [[Mr. Stone]]'s son, {{Steven}}. She starts her first Gym challenge at the [[Rustboro Gym]] and opens the door but finds no one inside. Suddenly, a bell rings and several people rush inside and start studying. Confused, Sapphire checks and confirms that she is at a Pokémon Gym. When Sapphire wonders where the [[Gym Leader]] is, she is told by a person entering the room that they are the Gym Leader.

Back at the Gym, the Gym Leader, [[Roxanne]], begins giving test papers to the people that entered her Gym earlier. Believing that she is giving a lesson, Sapphire decides to come back at a more appropriate time. Roxanne corrects her, and reveals that in order to face her in a battle, one must take a test.

Roxanne accepts her challenge and sets up a stage to start their Gym battle. They start their match, with Sapphire choosing Rono and Roxanne choosing {{TP|Roxanne|Nosepass}}. When Nosepass proves to be too strong for Rono, Sapphire decides to switch to Chic, but discovers that she cannot switch Pokémon. Roxanne starts laughing, and exclaims that for Sapphire's Rono, there is no escape.

Meanwhile, somewhere on {{rt|105|Hoenn}} a man on a boat, named [[Mr. Briney]], discovers {{adv|Ruby}} floating in the water. Using his net, he fishes the unconscious boy out of the sea.

The counter of the bet continues at 76 days.

* {{adv|Sapphire}} challenges the [[Rustboro Gym]].

===Debuts===

====Pokémon debuts====

* {{adv|Ruby}}

* {{adv|Sapphire}}

* [[Gabby and Ty]]/{{tt|Maryann and Tyler|Chuang Yi}}

* {{p|Torchic}} ([[Chic]]/{{tt|Toro|Chuang Yi}}; {{adv|Sapphire}}'s)

* {{p|Aron}} ([[Rono]]; {{adv|Sapphire}}'s)

* {{p|Wingull}} ([[Peeko]]; [[Mr. Briney]]'s)

* In the Japanese version, {{adv|Sapphire}}'s inability to read the paper stems from her being unable to read {{wp|Kanji}} (which is why she had to have the words read out loud to her). Both the [[Chuang Yi]] and the [[VIZ Media]] translations make her just look illiterate due to her paper being in plain English.

* In the Chuang Yi version, this round is called number 189 on the first page it appears on. The next page uses the proper number.  

* In the Chuang Yi version, {{adv|Sapphire}} writes her name as "Birch Sapphire" (which is something that would only make sense in the Japanese version) instead of "Sapphire Birch".

* In the Chuang Yi version, [[Peeko]] is mistakenly named "Pepper". This is corrected in the next volume.

* In the Chuang Yi version, the [[Pecha Berry]] and the [[Bluk Berry]] are referred to as "Peacha Berry" and "Bulk Berry", respectively.
