Appendix:Pokémon Emerald Walkthrough/Part 25

## Battle Frontier

As you walk through the gate, the woman at the desk will upgrade your Trainer Card to the Frontier Pass. This holds a map of the Battle Frontier along with a record of your Battle Points (BP) any Frontier Symbols you earn. After this, Scott will meet up with you. He apparently lives in this area, and he invites you to enjoy, as he says, "the pure essence of battling." He then walks away. Time to explore.

In order to earn BP, you'll have to earn set numbers of battles in each facility. After so many wins, you can challenge the Frontier Brain for a Silver Symbol, then win more times to earn a Gold Symbol. There are seven facilities from which to earn BP:

## Move Tutors

In a house next to the Battle Dome, there are two Move Tutors. They will teach a Pokémon a selection of attacks for a price in Battle Points.

## Battle facilities

### Battle Factory

*Main article: Battle Factory*
At the 21st and 42nd battle in a streak, three and six runs through the Battle Factory, Noland will challenge you to a battle. Like all other Trainers in the facility, including you, his Pokémon are completely random, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. Noland's team is drawn from the same pool of Pokémon as a normal trainer in the round in which he appears, but with fixed IVs of 15 and 31 for the Silver and Gold Symbol fights respectively.

If he is defeated, he awards the Knowledge Symbol.

## Other areas

If you go east of the Battle Dome, the first house is Scott's. He will award you with 1, 2, or 3 BP depending on the amount of times you spoke to him on your journey.

In a house left of the Battle Tower, there is a woman who will trade her Meowth, nicknamed "Meowow," for your Skitty.

Head south of the Battle Pyramid or southeast of the Battle Palace. Here you'll find an old woman who mentions an odd tree below her that wiggles when touched. Keep going down, and in the corner near the water you'll find the odd tree. If you use your Wailmer Pail on it, it'll attack you.

After defeating or capturing it, head down the nearby waterfall. Head all the way west until you see a cave entrance.

## Artisan Cave

Inside the Artisan Cave you will be able to find several stat-boosting items as well as wild Smeargle. It's the only wild Pokémon that appears in here. To collect all the items, you'll need to use your Itemfinder to help you locate them. At the northwest corner is a hidden Protein. Go around and go up the stairs. On the right-side rock you can find a Calcium. Go south of there and go east. Down the ladder nearby is a non-hidden HP Up. Go up and then down the ladder. Check the rock to find a hidden Zinc. Go back southwest down the three flights of stairs. On the top rock nearby is a hidden Iron. Go back to the northeast corner and go up the stairs. Go to the northeast corner of the room to pick up a Carbos. Go out the nearby exit and jump the small ledge to get back to the Battle Frontier.

## First partner Pokémon from Johto

After you complete the regional Hoenn Pokédex, go to Professor Birch's lab in Littleroot Town, and he'll give you a choice of one of the three first partner Pokémon from the Johto region.
