In the Battle Palace, Pokémon battle on their own, without any commands from their Trainers. This is very similar to the rules at the {{to|Verdanturf}} [[Battle Tent]]. The style of the Pokémon's battle depends on its [[Nature]], and this style may change when the Pokémon's HP falls low. | In the Battle Palace, Pokémon battle on their own, without any commands from their Trainers.

The battle against the Palace Maven does not take place inside the Battle Palace itself, instead starting from a battlefield on a nearby plateau and then moving on into the surrounding jungle and beach. As a result, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} watched the battle from a hot-air balloon alongside [[Scott]]. In contrast with [[Gym]]s, where challengers face [[Gym Leader|Leaders]] in consecutive battles, Spenser may interrupt a match at any moment to rest. | The battle against the Palace Maven does not take place inside the Battle Palace itself, instead starting from a battlefield on a nearby plateau and then moving on into the surrounding jungle and beach.

Spenser accepted the request, deciding that the battle would happen behind closed doors, without being observed by the press. He also allowed Emerald to skip the 41 virtual {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that a challenger would usually need to defeat in order to face him. | ||
When Emerald asked what the facility's rules were in order to choose the proper Pokémon for the facility, Spenser surprised him by informing that in the Battle Palace, Trainers must use Pokémon they trust, since they're not allowed to give them any orders during the battle. He also noted how Emerald hadn't trusted in his own Pokémon at the Battle Dome and had chosen to use borrowed ones instead, which had led to his defeat by Tucker. | When Emerald asked what the facility's rules were in order to choose the proper Pokémon for the facility, Spenser surprised him by informing that in the Battle Palace, Trainers must use Pokémon they trust, since they're not allowed to give them any orders during the battle.

Emerald asked if they could postpone their battle, but Spenser reminded him that in this battle, the Trainer's presence wasn't even required, so he could just go on ahead and leave his Pokémon behind to do the battling. As such, Emerald gave his Pokémon a motivational speech before heading to the Battle Tower. In ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'', {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|Latios}} delivered Emerald's Pokémon and a [[Symbol|Spirits Symbol]] to the Battle Tower, informing Emerald that his Pokémon had won the battle against Spenser. | ||
