Emerald (Adventures): Difference between revisions

{{Spoilers}}

===Past===

After running away from his relatives, Emerald created a new look to reinvent his image. This got the attention of the inventor, the [[Trick Master]], who suggested Emerald move to [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon Academy]], an orphanage. After arriving, Emerald encountered Crystal, a kind caretaker at the orphanage that was skilled at catching Pokémon. Wanting to learn from Crystal, Emerald met with {{adv|Professor Oak}} to obtain a [[Pokédex]] like she did, but was refused due to his dislike of Pokémon. Oak allowed Emerald to temporarily register himself as a Pokédex's owner and told the boy to go out and find something unique about himself. With gadgets created by the Trick Master, Emerald changed his looks and honed his ability to determine a Pokémon's birthplace. Later, he received his Pokédex on his eleventh birthday.

Emerald debuted in ''[[PS303|Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo]]'', where he arrived at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and rescued [[Todd Snap|Todd]], a reporter, from a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} he angered. Afterward, Emerald crashed the opening ceremony press conference and announced his plan to conquer the Battle Frontier. While they initially refused Emerald's challenge and almost had him banned, the [[Frontier Brain]]s decided to allow Emerald to participate when the press mistook his intrusion for a publicity stunt. As the Frontier would not open for another seven days, Emerald had until then to complete all seven facilities.

The next day, in ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', Emerald challenged the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Despite having a team of random Pokémon, Emerald eventually managed to defeat the Factor Head, [[Noland]], and obtain the Knowledge [[Symbol]]. Later that night, Emerald revealed to Todd that he took the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he used to defeat Noland. With Latios and Latias' assistance, Emerald deduced that Sceptile was not a rental Pokémon and had been planted in the Battle Factory by someone other than Noland.

In ''[[PS314|A Sketchy Smattering of Smeargle]]'', [[Anabel]], the Salon Maiden, and the other Frontier Brains accused Emerald of stealing the Battle Factory's rental Pokémon and attacking Noland. To prove his innocence, Emerald revealed he came to the Battle Frontier to capture the Wish Pokémon, {{adv|Jirachi}}. Emerald, the Brains, and Todd all traveled to the [[Artisan Cave]], where Jirachi was rumored to be resting. Emerald managed to find Jirachi at the center of the cave, but his attempt to capture it was impeded by a man wearing armor known as [[Guile Hideout]], allowing Jirachi to escape. Angered that he lost his chance at Jirachi, Guile fled as well, launching an attack from his sword to hide his escape. Sceptile, the Sudowoodo that attacked Todd, and a {{p|Dusclops}} from the Battle Pike appeared to protect Emerald from the attack.

In ''[[PS314|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', Emerald challenged the [[Battle Arena]]. Instead of another party of Pokémon from Crystal, Emerald instead used Sceptile, Sudowoodo, and Dusclops. During his battle against [[Greta]], the Arena Tycoon, Emerald managed to win by cheering his Pokémon on, something he wouldn't do normally. After winning and obtaining the Guts Symbol, Emerald and his Pokémon passed out from exhaustion and are taken to a hotel room by Greta and Todd. Assuming his regular clothing would be uncomfortable to sleep in, Todd and Greta try to change Emerald into a pair of pajamas, only to discover that the boy is unusually short, much more so than they had expected. Todd had Greta pretend she didn't see anything and sent her out of the room.
