'''VS. Kirlia''' (Japanese: '''VSキルリア''' ''VS. Kirlia'') is the 321st round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga in the {{chap|Emerald}}.

==Synopsis==
==Plot==
{{adv|Emerald}} isn't too pleased to see {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, despite them formally introducing themselves as his allies, believing that [[Professor Oak]] sent them. The two correct Emerald and say it was [[Professor Birch]] who did, which doesn't impress Emerald either. Emerald is insistent that he doesn't need any help and turns to leave, with [[Emerald's Sceptile|Sceptile]] lashing out with an {{m|Iron Tail}} and tossing the two Trainer back. Sapphire is worried that they should follow, but Ruby points out that they're all due to meet up in the [[Battle Dome]] tournament in any case. As he starts moaning over how his clothes are stained with Emerald's urine from [[PS320|earlier]], Sapphire begins to criticize his habits and the two once again begin to bicker. [[Scott]], meanwhile, spots them from afar, noting that they have arrived as expected.
{{spoilers}}
{{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} introduce themselves as two other Pokédex holders from Hoenn. {{adv|Emerald}} demands to know if it was {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Crystal}} who sent them, but they correct him by stating that it was [[Professor Birch]] who sent them to help. Emerald states that he doesn't need help and runs off. Ruby and Sapphire try to get him to stay, but {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} lashes out with {{m|Iron Tail}}, sending the two Trainers flying.  


As the matches continue on in the Battle Dome, [[Dome Ace Tucker]] has appeared amongst the lineup of challengers participating in the elimination-style tournament. Most of the reporters are banking on Emerald making it all the way to the top, but one of them notes that the newcomers in Ruby and Sapphire are proving themselves to be equally promising. Eventually, the three [[Pokédex holders]] and Tucker end up in the semi-final round. Scott asks Tucker what'll happen if he loses before the grand final, to which the Brain states that the Frontier Symbol will go to whoever wins the final match - not that he's intending to lose, of course. Tucker swears that he will win and show [[Guile Hideout]] how serious he is about improving himself the next time the Brains clash with the villain.
Sapphire states that they should follow him, but Ruby states that they will be competing with him in the Battle Dome tournament anyway. Ruby begins smelling something on his clothes and decides that he needs a change of clothes. Ruby's prissy attitude angers Sapphire, who questions why a boy would act like that. Meanwhile, [[Scott]] spots them from afar, noting that they have arrived as expected.


Before Emerald is to fight Ruby, he begins checking up on Ruby's data, only to be interrupted by Ruby taking various photographs and videos of [[Zuzu]], [[Mimi]] and Ruru, much to the chagrin of the referee. Ruby is insistent that he take records of his Pokémon's development and declares to a bemused Emerald that all three of his Pokémon are available for Emerald to see.
Back inside the Battle Dome, the press are excited to see real Trainers battling as opposed to virtual Trainers. They note how {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} has appeared amongst the lineup of challengers participating in the tournament. Most of the reporters are banking on Emerald making it all the way to the top, but one of them notes that the newcomers in Ruby and Sapphire are proving themselves to be equally promising. Ruby, with [[Mumu]], and Sapphire, with [[Chic]], easily defeats their opponents with a single hit, allowing them to advance to the next round. Emerald and Tucker also beat their opponents, which allows them all to advance to the semifinal round.


The match kicks off with Ruby sending out Ruru, and Emerald responds with his {{p|Dusclops}} for the type advantage. Ruru begins with a wave of {{m|Hypnosis}}, but Emerald encourages Dusclops to fight the drowsiness and counter with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which makes a direct hit. Emerald orders a barrage of the ghostly orbs, but Ruru somehow manages to remain standing. Emerald is surprised at this, thinking that the {{p|Kirlia}} must have unusually high defenses, before commanding a {{m|Fire Punch}} that not only hits home, but also inflicts the burn status. Emerald cheers that now Ruru will lose additional health as time goes on, but from behind, Tucker points out that Emerald's victory is far from guaranteed as he gestures towards Dusclops. Emerald is horrified to see Dusclops suffering from a burn as well, realizing that Ruru must have the {{a|Synchronize}} ability. Tucker confirms that the ability forces the user's opponent to share the same status conditions, while Scott suggests that Ruru had used {{m|Imprison}} earlier, meaning that none of Dusclops' Shadow Ball attacks had actually worked. Both Pokémon collapse as the burns wipe out the remainder of their health, and the referee declares the battle as a draw to the roaring crowd. Emerald grins at Ruby, realizing that his opponent is clearly a strong one, and Ruby merely smiles.
Scott notes that the match-ups between Emerald vs Ruby and Sapphire vs Tucker will be interesting. Scott goes over to Tucker to ask how he's doing. He wonders what will happen if Tucker loses to Sapphire before he gets battle Emerald. Tucker suggests that whoever wins the tournament will be awarded the Tactics Symbol, but states that he won't lose anyway. Tucker states that he doesn't care about winning, and that all that matters is getting strong enough to beat [[Guile Hideout|Guile]].


Sending out Mimi next, Ruby muses if Emerald will send out Sceptile for the type advantage again. Emerald is somewhat surprised that Ruby isn't bothered by elemental disadvantages, but nevertheless sends out Sceptile to do battle - only to be interrupted as Ruby begins arguing with staff about the stadium lighting not showing Mimi's good side, much to Emerald's irritation.
In the first semifinal match, Emerald and Ruby go on the stage. Emerald attempts to check Ruby's data, only to be interrupted by Ruby recording [[Mumu]], [[Feefee]], and Rara. A referee enters the stage, demanding to know what Ruby is doing, only for Ruby to tell him to set up a stage light for his Pokémon. Ruby tells Emerald that he doesn't need to check up on his team, as he already made them available to see. Ruby sends out Rara first, so Emerald counters with his {{p|Dusclops}}.
 
Rara starts off with a {{m|Hypnosis}} to put Dusclops to sleep. Dusclops manages to break free of the spell, so it fires of a super effective {{m|Shadow Ball}} at Rara. Despite the endless barrage of Shadow Balls, Rara manages to keep standing, so Emerald has Dusclops use {{m|Fire Punch}}. The attack gives Rara a burn, making it so that Rara will lose health as the battle goes on. Tucker questions if that will help him win as he gestures towards Dusclops. Emerald notes how Dusclops is burned, too, which is the result of Rara's Ability, {{a|Synchronize}}.
 
Tucker confirms that the Ability forces the user's opponent to share the same status conditions, while Scott suggests that Rara had used {{m|Imprison}} earlier, meaning that none of Dusclops's Shadow Ball attacks had actually worked. Emerald is shocked to see that all of his attacks were for nothing as both Pokémon fall to the ground, fainted. Emerald realizes that his opponent is strong, while Ruby merely replies with a grin. For his last Pokémon, Ruby sends out Feefee.
 
Ruby muses if Emerald will send out Sceptile for the type advantage again. Emerald is confused to see how Ruby is so confident that he doesn't care about type match-ups. Either way, Emerald sends out Sceptile to do battle, only to be interrupted by Ruby. Much to Emerald's irritation, Ruby begins arguing with the staff about the stadium lighting not showing Feefee's good side.

Ruby and Sapphire introduce themselves as two other Pokédex holders from Hoenn. Emerald demands to know if it was Professor Oak and Crystal who sent them, but they correct him by stating that it was Professor Birch who sent them to help. Emerald states that he doesn't need help and runs off. Ruby and Sapphire try to get him to stay, but Sceptile lashes out with Iron Tail, sending the two Trainers flying.

Sapphire states that they should follow him, but Ruby states that they will be competing with him in the Battle Dome tournament anyway.

Ruby, with Mumu, and Sapphire, with Chic, easily defeats their opponents with a single hit, allowing them to advance to the next round. Emerald and Tucker also beat their opponents, which allows them all to advance to the semifinal round.

Scott notes that the match-ups between Emerald vs Ruby and Sapphire vs Tucker will be interesting. Scott goes over to Tucker to ask how he's doing.
