VS Vileplume I (Japanese: VS ラフレシアI!! VS Ruffresia I !!) is the 319th round of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Synopsis
At their research laboratory, Crystal informs Professor Oak of Emerald's victory in the Battle Arena, and Oak states that they only have three more days to catch Jirachi. Crystal offloads a stack of data for Oak to analyze, declaring that they have to help support Emerald in any way they can. She also mentions that Emerald uncharacteristically cheered one of his Pokémon on, and the two researchers muse that Emerald is going through life-changing experiences. A voice behind them agrees, which is revealed to belong to a visiting Professor Birch.
The next day, Tucker welcomes Emerald to the Battle Dome, but not before being peeved at Emerald's impatience. Tucker reveals a docked S.S. Tidal, full of Trainers that have arrived to challenge the Dome. Anabel explains that the Dome uses elimination tournaments in its rules, and therefore required a large number of participants since they would not be able to use virtual Trainers as Emerald's opponents, as that would lead to the computer fighting against itself most of the time. Despite the possible security risks with the threat of Guile Hideout present, Anabel nevertheless decided to proceed with her plans, confident that the Brains can handle the situation. Tucker completes his explanation of the rules as he brings Emerald into the Dome, stocked full of excited spectators, warning Emerald not to lose before they fight. The Brain is momentarily shocked that Todd isn't around to take photographs of him, having instead stayed in his room to organize pictures, leaving Tucker to huffily put on an aerial show for the audience as Emerald rudely wedges himself in the participants' queue.
In his room, Todd examines his photographs, noting that Emerald's Sceptile has been gazing after Emerald in all his appearances. Accidentally, Todd gives himself a papercut and he calls the receptionist for a first-aid kit. To his surprise, a nurse appears at his door, who reveals herself to be Latias, incognito. Bandaging his finger, Latias helps Todd look through his pictures, and notes that Sceptile's attention seemed to initially be focused on Emerald's Pokédex rather than the boy himself. Todd wonders what might have caught Sceptile's attention...
Meanwhile, battles rage on between various Trainers at the Dome. Scott, looking at the lineup, notes that Emerald is about to battle an Aroma Lady as the boy charges onstage.
