'''{{tt|A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up II|VIZ Media}}/{{tt|VS Charizard II|Chuang Yi}}''' or '''Vestige of the Orb''' (Japanese: '''VSリザードン II''' ''VS {{tt|Lizardon|Charizard}} II'' or '''宝珠の残像''' ''The Orbs' Imprint'') is the 324th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

At the Battle Dome, {{adv|Emerald}}'s {{p|Metagross}} attempts to defend itself from {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}'s {{p|Charizard}}. As the Frontier Brains look excitedly at the battle, {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} leaves to discuss something with [[Scott]]. {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} asks {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} how he found out a way to find {{p|Jirachi}}. Noland reveals that he had captured three {{p|Smeargle}} from the [[Artisan Cave]] the day before.  

He reveals that during the clash with [[Guile Hideout]], some of the Smeargle were able to {{m|Sketch}} one of the moves Jirachi could use.

He has the Smeargle use {{m|Wish}}, which releases a bright flash of light. Noland states that although he has never seen the real Jirachi, he can use the flash of light created from Wish to determine where Jirachi would appear with the use of Battle Frontier's surveillance cameras.  

Back at the battlefield, Emerald's Metagross is finally knocked out, making Tucker the winner of the battle. Tucker congratulates Emerald for the well-fought battle, but points out that {{m|Protect}} gets weaker with each consecutive use. He offers to battle Emerald again when the Battle Frontier officially opens, but Emerald just leaves without a word. Tucker assumes that Emerald is unable to suppress his anger, and goes off to join his teammates. Suddenly, Tucker notices Guile's shadow from the window, and he sends his {{p|Salamence}} to pursue the villain. The other Frontier Brains are shocked to see Tucker acting so oddly. Noland gets a signal where Jirachi has appeared next: the top of the Battle Dome.

Back at the Battle Palace, Sapphire questions what her connection to the Blue Orb has to do with anything. Spenser apologizes, and explains that he got worked over meeting one of his kindred. Ruby gestures to Sapphire that she did a good job and the two run off. Ruby reveals that with the Lighter of Memory, he recorded Spenser's strange behavior. Meanwhile, Emerald approaches Spenser at the Battle Palace's entrance. Emerald tells Spenser that he intends on challenging the Battle Palace, as his plans have been disrupted. Emerald states that he'll challenge the Battle Palace now and the Battle Tower tomorrow, so he can finish the Battle Dome again on the last day. Spenser agrees, and states that their battle will go unseen by the press, as that's how he prefers it.

* {{Adv|Emerald}} loses his Battle Dome challenge against {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}.
