Emerald's Sceptile: Difference between revisions

Sceptile first appeared as a {{p|Treecko}} in ''[[PS183|Trying to Trounce Torchic]]'', as one of the two Pokémon that was in [[Professor Birch]]'s bag. When {{adv|Ruby}} was rescued by {{adv|Sapphire}} from a pack of wild {{p|Mightyena}}, she took him to her [[Secret Base]]. He thought she was a Pokémon of some sort, and was shocked to the spine when she started talking. The two ended up getting into a fight after he ordered [[Nana]] to {{m|Bite}} the supposed "Pokémon." Still holding his own Pokémon from fighting back, he phoned Professor Birch on the [[Pokégear]] that was in his [[bag]], and was told to choose the "[[Mumu|blue Pokémon]]," which he then chose over the "green one", finding Mudkip better than Treecko in terms of appearance.

====With Wally====

In ''[[PS240|Talk About Timing, Treecko]]'', the bag holding Treecko and the Pokédex eventually made its way to {{rt|131|Hoenn}}, where it was found by {{adv|Wally}}. After saving him, Wally had his Pokémon nurse the exhausted Treecko back to health.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===

Sceptile was put into the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}, where he was eventually found by Emerald in his battle against {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} in ''[[PS307|Gotcha Where I Wantcha, Glalie]]''. Immediately upon being sent out, Sceptile went on a rampage and began attacking Emerald. Emerald manages to calm Sceptile down with his E Shooter, bringing him back under his control. Emerald then proceeded to use Sceptile to beat Noland's {{p|Golem}} with a single Leaf Blade. Sceptile next went up against his {{p|Glalie}}. Noland has Glalie use {{m|Crunch}}, which not only attacked Sceptile with its teeth, but froze his arm with Glalie's ice-cold breath. Glalie retreated and fired an {{m|Ice Beam}} from its eyes, which Sceptile dodged with {{m|Detect}}. Glalie is then commanded to use {{m|Sheer Cold}}, making a direct hit. Despite being hit by the powerful move, Sceptile gets back up with no clear injuries. Glalie soon starts faltering, and it is shown that Glalie was hit with {{m|Leech Seed}}, which Emerald reveals was put on earlier in the battle. Sceptile then hits his opponent with an {{m|Iron Tail}}, defeating Glalie and winning the battle. Emerald decided to sneak Sceptile out of the Factory and keep Sceptile as his own due to his suspicion that he is not an actual rental Pokémon.

====With Emerald====

In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', Sceptile participated in the [[Battle Arena]] to battle against {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Heracross}}. Sceptile attacked with Leaf Blade, but Heracross managed to deflect the attack with its horn. Sceptile then rushed in to deliver several punches and throws it to the ground. Greta has Heracross send Sceptile flying with {{m|Megahorn}}, heavily damaging him. The battle ends, and with an assessment, Greta's Heracross defeats Sceptile with a score of five to one.

In ''[[PS322|Susceptible to Sceptile]]'', Sceptile battled against Ruby's [[Feefee]] in the semifinal round of the [[Battle Dome]]. Sceptile starts with a barrage of attacks, one of them paralyzing Feefee. This activates her [[Ability]] {{a|Marvel Scale}}, making most of Sceptile's attacks useless. Sceptile is then frozen by Feefee's {{m|Blizzard}}. Although frozen, Sceptile manages to regain its lost memories, giving it the strength to break through his icy prison and defeat Feefee, giving Emerald the win. With his memories returned, Sceptile began attacking Ruby, as he was furious over when Ruby called Mumu better than him in terms of appearance.

In ''[[PS330|The Final Battle III]]'', during the final battle with Guile, Emerald is given one of the bangles possessed by [[Ultima]]. With it, he teaches Sceptile the ultimate {{type|Grass}} move, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. With the power of Frenzy Plant, Sceptile teams up with the Pokémon of the nine other [[Pokédex holder]]s to destroy Guile's monster {{p|Kyogre}} with a powerful Frenzy Plant, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} combination.
