[[Todd Snap]] notes that because it takes Emerald a while to win a single battle, the press has gotten bored while waiting for Emerald to finish. | |||

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}}.

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. | 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. Todd follows Emerald and drags him to the bathroom in disgust. Todd 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. | ||
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. | 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.

By the end of battle number 34, Todd 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. | ||
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. | 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.
