Artisan Cave

Artisan Cave (Japanese: アトリエのあな Atelier Hole) is a long cave connecting one end of the Battle Frontier to the other. The entrance is near the Battle Palace and the exit is right next to the Battle Tower.

Geography

The cave is two levels high, contains several stat-boosting items, and the only wild Pokémon found inside is Smeargle. This is the only area in the third generation main series games (other than via the unused Altering Cave event) where the player can find Smeargle.

Emerald went with Todd Snap and all of the Frontier Brains, save for Noland, to Artisan Cave to investigate where Jirachi is. They were surrounded by a herd of Smeargle that attacked them; Emerald ignored them however. After finding Jirachi, he attempts to capture Jirachi with a Timer Ball, only to be stopped by Guile Hideout, who cut the Poké Ball in half. Guile Hideout is then revealed to have been the one who stole all of the rental Pokémon at the Battle Factory. At this point, Spenser, Brandon, Tucker, and Lucy battle Guile Hideout to avenge Noland's back attack, but to no avail. Greta then distracts the opponent with her Umbreon's Double Team while Anabel fights with her Raikou's ThunderShock to trap Guile Hideout, leaving Emerald alone to focus on capturing Jirachi without distractions. He succeeds to do so by using Crystal's Bonee and Hitmonee to weaken it; he then attempts to capture it with a Luxury Ball, though he is stopped by Guile's Surskit's Psybeam. Guile then attacks Emerald after trapping him with Surskit's nectar, but the Dusclops, Sudowoodo, and Sceptile that befriended Emerald protected him. Jirachi then vanishes, and Guile subsequently leaves as well.

It is in the Artisan Cave that Todd and Emerald realizes the Dusclops and Sudowoodo that were released earlier in the arc followed Emerald due to their fondness of him.
