'''VS Pinsir'''  (Japanese: '''VS カイロス''' ''VS Kailios'') is the 306th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, and the fourth round of the {{chap|Emerald}}.
'''{{tt|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming|VIZ Media}}/{{tt|VS. Pinsir|Chuang Yi}}''' or '''Frontier Brain of Knowledge'''  (Japanese: '''VS カイロス''' ''VS {{tt|Kailios|Pinsir}}'' or '''知識のブレーン''' ''The Brain of Knowledge'') is the 306th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.


==Synopsis==
==Plot==
Still in the Battle Factory, {{Adv|Emerald}} is moving along, winning battle after battle. After 17 straight wins, [[Todd Snap|Todd]] comments on how insane this facility is, and notices how bored the other members of the press seem, given that Emerald is already battling for over four hours and he's not even near the halfway mark. On the battlefield, Emerald orders his rental {{p|Slaking}} to use {{m|Slack Off}} and {{m|Faint Attack}} against the rival {{p|Hitmonlee}}, winning another round. He then trades Slaking for the opponent {{p|Linoone}}, despite Todd thinking it's a mistake.
{{spoilers}}
{{adv|Emerald}} continues his run of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} and makes it up to the third set with 17 straight wins. The [[Todd Snap|reporter]] notes that because it takes Emerald a while to win a single battle, the press has gotten bored while waiting for Emerald to finish.


Suddenly, Emerald has to urgently go and relieve his bladder. Instead of going to the restroom, he runs off to urinate off the Battle Factory's roof, with Todd following him. Todd yells at Emerald to go to the toilet like a normal person, and while Emerald washes his hands there, Todd tells him he made the wrong choice letting Slaking go. Emerald disagrees, and explains his "order and role" strategy: the first Pokémon has the important role of being the "lead", and has to be able to deal out consecutive damage; the second Pokémon is the "main force", and has to able to use many different types of skills and cope with opponents who have special abilities; the third Pokémon is the "rear guard", the strong defensive backup. Since Emerald can't choose the order his Pokémon appear in, he had to let Slaking go because it wasn't in the right position. With 23 battles to go, Emerald pulls Todd by the nose back towards the battlefield with his {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Linoone}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}.
Meanwhile, Emerald faces an opponent's {{p|Hitmonlee}} with his {{p|Slaking}}. The Hitmonlee delivers a powerful kick, which Emerald counters by having Slaking heal with {{m|Slack Off}} and then finishing off its opponent with a {{m|Faint Attack}}. Having won the battle, Emerald decides to switch his Slaking with the opponent's {{p|Linoone}}. The reporter questions Emerald's decision to take the Linoone in exchange for his powerful Slaking.


By the end of battle number 34, [[Todd Snap|Todd]] realizes that {{Adv|Emerald}} was right - the Linoone is doing great with its {{m|Frustration}}, an attack that is the same type as Linoone and works best for Pokémon that don't share a strong bond with their Trainers. [[Factory Head Noland]] also points out to Todd that Linoone is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}} - an item that increases the Pokémon's attack, but limits it to use only one move. Meanwhile, [[Scott]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}, {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} arrive to watch the battles, and are amazed to see how far Emerald has already come. At that point, for the sake of being fair, {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} covers his eyes so that he won't be able to watch Emerald's final trades. While doing so, he points out to Todd that Emerald is taking longer and longer to finish each battle.
Emerald decides to take a quick break to use the bathroom, but instead of going inside a restroom, he chooses to simply urinate off the side of the Battle Factory. The reporter follows Emerald and drags him to the bathroom in disgust. The reporter questions Emerald's choice to switch out the strong Slaking for Linoone. Emerald disagrees with this opinion, and reveals that he choice to switch out Slaking because of an "order and role" strategy.


Still, Emerald manages to win 41 battles, and can now finally face Noland himself in the "Battle of the Universe". As the battle begins, Emerald sends out his rental {{p|Linoone}} against Noland's rental {{p|Mawile}}. Mawile uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, hitting Linoone, followed by {{m|Iron Defense}}. Emerald switches to his most recently traded Pokémon, {{p|Pinsir}}. Noland orders Mawile to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, knowing that the attack will be very powerful against the {{type2|Bug}}, but instead Mawile uses {{m|Iron Defense}} again. Confused, Noland realizes that Emerald used his Linoone's {{m|Trick}} just before the switch, so now Mawile is holding the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}, while Linoone is holding the [[Lum Berry]]. With Mawile no longer able to attack, {{p|Pinsir}} uses {{m|Swords Dance}} and manages to win.
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 to replace Slaking as it didn't fit any of his positions. Having finished his business, Emerald sends out his team to continue his Battle Frontier challenge.


Impressed, Noland sends out his {{p|Golem}} and defeats {{p|Pinsir}}. Emerald calls out his {{p|Linoone}} again and orders it to use {{m|Dig}}, but Golem wins with {{m|Double Edge}}. Emerald is now down to one Pokémon. Noland shows Emerald the Knowledge Symbol and tells him that if he'll manage to win, the symbol will be his. With only one change left, Emerald sends out his final Pokémon.
On set five, Emerald continues beating opponent after opponent with the Linoone he used. By the end of battle number 34, the reporter realizes that Emerald was right about Linoone. 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. Noland praises Emerald and states that the boy possesses more knowledge than he initially assumed.


==Major Events==
Meanwhile, [[Scott]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}, and {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} arrive to watch Emerald's progress with the hope that he will pass out and cry from exhaustion. 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 41 consecutive wins, which allows him to battle Noland.

Mawile starts up the battle with a {{m|Focus Punch}}, which greatly damages Linoone.

Noland has Mawile use a super effective {{m|Flamethrower}} on Pinsir, but it suddenly uses Iron Defense again.
