Emerald is a Pokémon Trainer born somewhere in the [[Hoenn]] region. Due to the loss of his parents at a young age, he was moved between his family members and was constantly bullied by his cousins due to his short height and tendency to rely on the help of Pokémon to get objects from high places. These events led to Emerald developing a complex about his height and a dislike of Pokémon. To get over his height issues, he used hair gel to style his hair upwards and wore various gadgets and clothing to make himself look taller than he actually is. He stops wearing these gadgets as well as his upwards hairstyle in the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}.

Emerald claims to not like Pokémon themselves, but he likes [[Pokémon battle]]s. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from {{adv|Crystal}}. Despite these claims, he is very close to {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}, who call him "{{tt|Em|VIZ Media; Rald in the Japanese and Chuang Yi versions}}".

==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===

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 [[Battle facility|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 Factory 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 ''[[PS308|As Luck Would Have It, Kirlia]]'', Emerald challenged the [[Battle Pike]]. As the facility had no rental Pokémon, Emerald instead used a party of Pokémon received from Crystal. After making his way through the various traps located in the Battle Pike, Emerald faced off against [[Lucy]], the Pike Queen, and won, earnin the Luck Symbol. Afterward, he, Todd, and Latias searched through the rooms of the Battle Pike to calm down suspicious Pokémon that were also planted like Sceptile.

In ''[[PS311|A Dust-Up With Dusclops]]'', Emerald challenged the [[Battle Pyramid]] with another set of Pokémon received from Crystal, Emerald traversed through the Pyramid's dark maze. After making his way to the peak, Emerald faced off against the Pyramid King, [[Brandon]] and his powerful [[Brandon's legendary giants|Pokémon]] {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. Eventually, with Sceptile's assistance, Emerald managed to defeat Brandon and earn the Brave Symbol.

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.

In ''[[PS319|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume I]]'', Emerald challenged the [[Battle Dome]]. While on a bathroom break, Emerald met {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, the two other Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s. When they revealed they were sent to assist with the Jirachi capture mission, Emerald rejected their help and ran off. Ruby and Sapphire also entered in the Dome tournament, eventually making it to the semi-finals alongside Emerald and [[Tucker]], the Dome Ace. Emerald faced off against Ruby and won while Tucker defeated Sapphire, allowing both to face each other in the finals. Finding Ruby and Sapphire's constant talk about bonding with Pokémon annoying, Emerald had them kicked out of the Dome and decided to switch his party out, stating that he'd be insulting his Pokémon if he bonded with them. After receiving his new Pokémon, Emerald battled against Tucker, but was easily defeated.

In ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', a depressed Emerald left to go challenge the [[Battle Palace]], where he went up against [[Spenser]], the Palace Maven. Spenser explained that in order to battle against him, Emerald must use three trusted Pokémon and have them fight without his commands. Before their battle could begin, Spenser received a call from his fellow Brains revealing that Guile managed to capture Jirachi and has sent an army of rental Pokémon to attack the public. Putting his trust in Sceptile, Sudowoodo, and Dusclops, Emerald left them behind and went with Ruby, Sapphire, and Noland to confront Guile at the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}. Along the way, Emerald calmed down a rampaging {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Mantine}}, and {{p|Mawile}}. In order to battle, Noland decided to use Mawile while allowing Emerald to keep the other three.

==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, the Hoenn Pokédex holders were enlisted by {{Steven}} and [[Mr. Stone]] to prevent a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the Earth and destroying it. Steven gave the three a [[Mega Bracelet]], enabling them to use [[Mega Evolution]] and had them train with [[Ultima]] so Sceptile, [[Mumu]], and [[Chic]] could fully master the Ultimate Moves. Ruby only agreed to help on the condition that Sapphire be kept in the dark about the meteoroid.  

In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Emerald watched Sapphire train her new {{p|Kirlia}}, Kirly, and Ruby's [[Rara]] in order to evolve them into a {{p|Gardevoir}} fighting pair, only for Sapphire to accidentally kick up a [[Shiny Stone]], causing Kirly to evolve into a {{p|Gallade}} instead. Later, Emerald and Sapphire fully mastered the Ultimate Moves with Ultima's guidance and gained the ability to use Mega Evolution. In order to prevent potential enemies from finding them, Mr. Stone had the training moved to the abandoned energy harvesting facility, [[Sea Mauville]].

In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', the group arrived at Sea Mauville. That night, Emerald encountered the mysterious Pokémon, {{p|Hoopa}}, which couldn't be pacified by the soil from Faraway Island. Even with assistance from Steven and his Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, Hoopa managed to escape. The next day, Emerald and Sapphire assisted Steven and Mr. Stone by putting Sceptile and Chic on a machine known as an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and using the power of the Ultimate Moves in their Mega-Evolved forms. To their horror, the machine drained both Pokémon of their life energy to fuel a special device known as the dimensional shifter.

In [[PS604]], the [[Draconid people|Draconid]] [[Zinnia]] and a group of {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Team Aqua}} and {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Magma Grunts}} attacked the Sea Mauville in order to destroy the dimensional shifter. During the clash, Zinnia stole Sapphire's Mega Bracelet, and Sapphire ended up falling into one of Hoopa's rings. Sapphire was transported to the inside of a rocket located at [[Mossdeep City]], where she handed the dimensional shifter to [[Professor Cozmo]] and his [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|assistants]]. Later, Ruby arrived to assist in the battle against Zinnia. When Zinnia tried to take Steven's [[Key Stone]] as well, Ruby offered up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets as a bribe. Zinnia accepted and left, completely unaware that Ruby managed to steal a special scroll from her when she wasn't looking.

In [[PS606]], the group traveled to [[Meteor Falls]] in hopes of finding information about {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}. Hoopa was attacked by {{adv|Amber}} and [[Blaise]] and manipulated into summoning {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} with its rings. Using an illusion, Blaise and Amber bought themselves enough time to escape and allow Kyogre and Groudon to revert to their [[Primal Reversion|Primal forms]]. To Emerald and Ruby's shock, Archie and Maxie had returned and were the ones who gave Kyogre and Groudon the Orbs necessary for Primal Reversion. Using the super-ancient Pokémon's power, Archie and Maxie easily knocked Emerald and Ruby out of the sky before revealing that they also intended on stopping the meteoroid.  

In [[PS610]], Emerald and Ruby awakened at the [[Meteor Village]], the home of the Draconids. The village {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}} revealed that Sapphire fought to protect the dimensional shifter, but lost and went missing. The Elder also allowed Archie and Maxie to train and teach Kyogre and Groudon moves necessary for stopping the meteoroid. After meeting with his father again, Ruby and Norman determined that Rayquaza must be heading towards the [[Pokémon Association]]'s research facility in [[Goldenrod City]] and used Hoopa's ring to head there as well.

In [[PS612]], Emerald used Hoopa's rings to search for Sapphire, eventually managing to find her in a [[Secret Base]] at {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. Once Ruby and Norman succeeded their mission, they had Emerald tell Hoopa to create a space back to Hoenn. When Archie and Maxie emerged after finishing their training, Rayquaza went berserk upon spotting Kyogre and Groudon and began attacking them. Panicking, Hoopa moved the ring connecting to Johto to the direction of the other one connecting to Sapphire's location, accidentally sending Ruby and Rayquaza to Route 120 in the process.

In [[PS613]], Archie and Maxie emerged at Route 120 after having Kyogre and Groudon force their way through Hoopa's ring, causing it to pass out. Emerald traveled to Ruby and Sapphire's location, where he revealed that Zinnia tried convince Rayquaza to join her, but was rejected and attacked. Latios rescued Zinnia and took her to [[Sootopolis City]] to recover from her injuries. Brought to tears, Zinnia gave up and admitted there was no way to save the planet anymore. Emerald disagreed and suggested the three factions that tried to stop the meteoroid work together instead of fighting with each other.

In [[PS616]], the group's allies from around Hoenn gathered together to lend a hand and stop the meteoroid, now known as Grand Meteor Delta. Ruby and Sapphire set off with Rayquaza to space, and with the power of Mega Rayquaza and the combined might of their allies from Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and Johto, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire successfully shattered Grand Meteor Delta into pieces. A {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 1|Deoxys}} emerged from the wreckage of the meteoroid, but was defeated when Rayquaza shattered its core, knocked it unconscious. Afterward, Rayquaza took Ruby and Sapphire back down to Earth, where they reunited with Emerald and the others.

|desc={{p|Sceptile}} was originally a first partner Pokémon owned by [[Professor Birch]] as a {{p|Treecko}}. After several adventures where he helped {{adv|Wally}} awaken {{p|Rayquaza}} at the [[Sky Pillar]], Treecko, now a {{p|Grovyle}}, ended up on a deserted island, evolved into a Sceptile, and was captured by [[Guile Hideout]], who planted Sceptile into the Hoenn {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} as a [[rental Pokémon]]. During Emerald's battle against [[Noland]], Sceptile went berserk due to being hit by a {{m|Poison Sting}} fired by Guile Hideout. After Emerald calmed Sceptile down, he decided to have him join his team as he noted that he was level 51 at the time instead of being level 50 as with the other Rental Pokémon. With Emerald's Mega Bracelet, he can Mega Evolve into Mega Sceptile. He is level 69 and has a Hasty [[nature]].}}

|desc={{p|Sudowoodo}} went crazy due to being watered by a reporter while disguised as a tree and attacked but was calmed by Emerald. After this incident, Sudowoodo followed Emerald and joined Emerald's team at [[Artisan Cave]] in ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'' after shielding him along with Dusclops and Sceptile. She cares deeply for Emerald and once got into a Berry cooking competition to prove it. She was seen battling in the Battle Dome against a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}, defeating his {{p|Ursaring}}. She was then seen battling at the Battle Palace against [[Spenser]]'s Pokémon. After the final battle with [[Guile Hideout]], she became acquainted with {{adv|Gold}}'s Sudowoodo, Sudobo. She is level 62, has a Quirky nature, and her [[Characteristic]] is "hates to lose."}}

|desc={{p|Dusclops}} was a wild Pokémon in the [[Battle Pike]] that Emerald determined was from [[Mt. Pyre]]. Like Sudowoodo, he followed him after the incident and joined him in the Artisan Cave in ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]''. He was seen battling at the Battle Dome, battling a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} early on, and tying with Ruby's {{p|Kirlia}}, Rara. He was then seen battling at the Battle Palace against [[Spenser]]'s Pokémon. He is level 61, has a Rash [[nature]], and his [[Characteristic]] is "often lost in thought."}}

|desc={{p|Snorlax}} was a rental Pokémon given to Emerald by [[Noland]] after she was calmed down by the young boy. She was seen battling in the Battle Tower. After the battle, she was seen getting acquainted with {{adv|Red}}'s Snorlax, [[Snor]]. In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, she and Snor were revealed to have created an Egg together. She is level 60 and has a Quiet nature.

|desc={{p|Mr. Mime}} was a rental Pokémon given to Emerald by [[Noland]] after he was calmed down by the young boy. It was seen battling in the Battle Tower. After the battle, he was seen getting acquainted with {{adv|Crystal}}'s Mr. Mime, Mymee. His level is 63 and has a Jolly nature.

|desc={{p|Mantine}} was a rental Pokémon given to Emerald by [[Noland]] after she was calmed down by the young boy. She was seen battling in the Battle Tower. After the battle, she was seen getting acquainted with {{adv|Gold}}'s Mantine, Tibo. She is level 65 and has an Impish nature.

|desc={{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are Pokémon that Emerald had befriended before challenging the Battle Frontier. The sibling Pokémon assisted Emerald in his quest to conquer the Battle Frontier and capture {{p|Jirachi}}. After Emerald made friends with his fellow Pokédex holders, Latias and Latios returned to their home on [[Southern Island]]. In the ''{{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}'', Latias and Latios returned to help Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire prevent the meteoroid threatening to destroy Hoenn.}}

|desc={{p|Hoopa}} first appeared on Sea Mauville, where Emerald encountered it while relieving himself. Emerald attempted to battle the prankster Pokémon, but his attempts to calm it with his E Shooter ended in failure. Although Steven stepped in to help, Hoopa eventually escaped. It later revealed itself when Zinnia attacked Sea Mauville to try and destroy the dimensional shifter. When Sapphire attempted to escape with the shifter from Zinnia's army, Hoopa appeared and transported her to another location. Afterward, it befriended Emerald and constantly pranked him by using its hoops to suck Emerald's long hair inside. Later, {{adv|Amber}} and [[Blaise]] manipulated Hoopa into summoning {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}.

|desc={{p|Skarmory}} was the first rental Pokémon used in the Battle Factory. He was holding the item Quick Claw when Emerald rented Skarmory. During the battle, he was hit by {{p|Illumise}}'s {{m|Flatter}} which resulted in him being confused. Emerald substituted Skarmory for Rhyhorn.

Slaking's known moves are  {{m|Slack Off}} and {{m|Feint Attack}}, and its Ability is {{a|Truant}}.}}

She{{tt|*|Incorrectly referred to as Male in Chuang Yi's translations}} goes up against Seviper and, although she is able to deliver the first attack, Blissey is poisoned by Seviper's {{m|Poison Fang}}. Emerald could not heal her with a Berry, but he is able to switch her out with Starmie, activating her Ability. Later, she is knocked out by Seviper but left a special surprise for Lucy afterward.

When he was younger, Emerald decided to create a new image for himself. In order to do this, he enlisted the help of the [[Trick Master]] to create several inventions that would help Emerald look taller. As of the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, he no longer wears most of his equipment.

* The E Shooter (Japanese: '''Ｅ・シューター''' ''E Shooter'') is a gun designed to calm down rampaging Pokémon by making them remember their birthplace. Although it appears to be a toy gun, the inside of the gun is actually just a toy Emerald with scoops for arms that rapidly spin to fire dirt (or sand for aquatic Pokémon)<ref>[http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/qa/qa_a_591_600.html#no600 Netkun Q&A No. 600] (Japanese)</ref> at the opponent.

* The Bullets of Serenity (Japanese: '''穏やかな弾丸''' ''Bullets of Calmness'') are bullet-like pellets that are fired from the E Shooter. They are filled with Hometown Soil (Japanese: '''故郷の土''' ''Hometown Soil''), which is dirt samples taken from various locations. By inserting the soil of a certain location into a pellet and firing it at a rampaging Pokémon that comes from that place, the Pokémon will be calmed down due to remembering its birthplace. Originally, he wore the bandoleer inside his Magic Hands; in the ''Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire'' arc, he wears it around his torso.

* Emerald is the only male Pokémon Adventures character named after a [[core series|third version]], as {{adv|Green}}{{tt|*|In Japan, Green is named Blue, and the Blue Version was the ''third version'' of Generation I in Japan.}}, {{adv|Yellow}}{{tt|*|Yellow being a third version for all areas outside of Japan.}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} are all female.

* Emerald is the first Pokémon Adventures character whose first Pokémon was one of the first partner Pokémon from the game series - or rather its evolution, Sceptile.

* If all of Emerald's Pokémon who got acquainted to a same species of opposite gender belonging to other Pokédex holders were to breed, all of the pairings could result in a [[Baby Pokémon]].
