Emerald explains that the first Pokémon in a Trainer's party should be the "lead" which has to be fast enough to deal damage to the opponent repeatedly. Secondly, Pokémon two is the "main force", which has to be able to use multiple skills to deal with opponents that have special abilities. Lastly, the third Pokémon is the "rear guard", which needs to have high defense to serve as backup. Emerald states that since he choose the order of his team, he needed replace Slaking as it didn't fit any of his positions.

Noland points out that since Linoone is a rental Pokémon and isn't bonded with Emerald, its {{m|Frustration}} move is very powerful. In addition to this, the Linoone holds a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}, an item that powers up a certain move but at the cost of forcing the Pokémon to only use that move.

They are shocked to see that Emerald is only a few short battles before he will be eligible to battle Noland. Noland covers his eyes with a blindfold and claims that he will not watch Emerald's final battles and trades in order to make their battle fair. Despite this, Noland confidently claims that he will still win the battle, as Emerald is starting to get worn out. Despite this, Emerald finally gets up to forty-one consecutive wins, finally allowing him to battle Noland.
