## History

### Past

After running away from his relatives, Emerald created a new look to reinvent his image. This got the attention of the inventor, the Trick Master, who suggested Emerald move to Earl Dervish's Pokémon Academy, an orphanage. After arriving, Emerald encountered Crystal, a kind caretaker at the orphanage that was skilled at catching Pokémon. Wanting to learn from Crystal, Emerald met with Professor Oak to obtain a Pokédex like she did, but was refused due to his dislike of Pokémon. Oak allowed Emerald to temporarily register himself as a Pokédex's owner and told the boy to go out and find something unique about himself. With gadgets created by the Trick Master, Emerald changed his looks and honed his ability to determine a Pokémon's birthplace. Later, he received his Pokédex on his eleventh birthday.

### *Emerald* chapter

Emerald debuted in *Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo*, where he arrived at the Battle Frontier and rescued Todd, a reporter, from a wild 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 Brains 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 facilities.

The next day, in *Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise*, Emerald challenged the Battle Factory. Despite having a team of random Pokémon, Emerald eventually managed to defeat the Factor Head, Noland, and obtain the Knowledge Symbol. Later that night, Emerald revealed to Todd that he took the 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 *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 *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 Pokémon Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Eventually, with Sceptile's assistance, Emerald managed to defeat Brandon and earn the Brave Symbol.

In *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, 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 Dusclops from the Battle Pike appeared to protect Emerald from the attack.

In *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 *Verily Vanquishing Vileplume I*, Emerald challenged the Battle Dome. While on a bathroom break, Emerald met Ruby and Sapphire, the two other Hoenn Pokédex holders. 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 *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 Battle Tower. Along the way, Emerald calmed down a rampaging Mr. Mime, Snorlax, Mantine, and Mawile. In order to battle, Noland decided to use Mawile while allowing Emerald to keep the other three.

In *Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow*, Guile forced the Hoenn Pokédex holders and Noland to take the Battle Tower challenge in order to make it to him. After battling through various virtual Trainers, Emerald finally made it to the final floor, where he faced off against Anabel, who had been put under Guile's mind control. After Emerald was defeated, Latios appeared and returned Emerald's other three Pokémon, who had successfully obtained the Spirit Symbol. Using his Sight Sharing, Latios relayed a message from Spenser, who revealed that he came in contact with the Blue Orb in the past and gained the ability to detect others like him, which included Guile. With his identity exposed, Guile lifted his helmet, revealing himself to be Archie, the leader of Team Aqua.

In *The Final Battle I*, Guile used Jirachi's wishing granting power to summon a giant Kyogre-shaped mass of seawater and had it flood the Battle Frontier. Emerald and the others were assisted by Crystal alongside Gold, another Johto Pokédex holder. The two revealed that their fellow Pokédex holders were turned to stone and the only way of reviving them was Jirachi. While Crystal and Gold kept the Kyogre monster busy, Emerald was tasked with making the wish to revive the petrified Pokédex holders, but Jirachi refused his wish and flew away. Afterward, the Hoenn Pokédex holders trained to learn the Ultimate Moves, Frenzy Plant, Hydro Cannon, and Blast Burn.

In *The Final Battle III*, Emerald struggled to focus with the training. At Ruby and Sapphire's suggestion, Emerald revealed his past and how he obtained a Pokédex, got his mechanical suit, and got the mission to go to the Battle Frontier. Once he finished, Gold and Crystal fell on top of the training room, having been defeated by Guile. Angered that he hurt Crystal, Emerald tried to attack Guile, but was defeated. When Guile reminded Emerald of his earlier statements of only liking, Emerald angrily admitted that he truly does love Pokémon as well as the people who love them. His words caused Jirachi’s third eye to open and grant his wish to revive the petrified Pokédex holders. In *The Final Battle VII*, the ten Pokédex holders gathered together for one final battle against Guile and his army of rental Pokémon. With the help of Scott, Todd, Latios, and Latias, Emerald created a giant field around the Battle Frontier that pacified all of Guile's rental Pokémon with soil from Faraway Island. By utilizing a triple Frenzy Plant, Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, and Volt Tackle combination, the Kyogre sea monster was overloaded with energy and exploded, finally ending the conflict with Guile.

In *Epilogue*, Emerald was congratulated by his allies on his victory against Guile. After receiving the Ability Symbol, Emerald realized there was only one day left to obtain the final Symbol and begged Tucker to let him challenge the Battle Dome again. Tucker allowed Emerald to compete, but without any other Trainers to join in the tournament, Emerald had to go up against his fellow Pokédex holders instead. As Jirachi went back to its thousand year slumber, Emerald thanked it for granting his wish to have friends. Afterward, Emerald competed in the Pokédex holder tournament, which he ended up winning, earning him the Tactics Symbol.
