'''VS Regirock''' (Japanese: '''VS レジロック''' ''VS Regirock'') is the 312th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, and the ninth round of the {{chap|Emerald}}.
'''Chipping Away at Regirock''' (Japanese: '''VS レジロック''' ''VS Regirock''), titled '''VS. Regirock''' in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation, is the 312th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 10th chapter of the {{MangaArc|Emerald}}.


==Synopsis==
It is subtitled '''Pyramid Adventure''' (Japanese: '''ピラミッドアドベンチャー''' ''Pyramid Adventure'') in the [[VIZ Media]] translation and '''Pyramid Adventures''' in the Chuang Yi translation.


The chapter begins at daybreak with {{Adv|Emerald}} nearing the end of the third set when he is attacked by a {{p|Houndoom}} to which he counters with his {{p|Phanpy}}'s Earthquake. After defeating the Houndoom he finishes set three, and [[Todd Snap|Todd]] explains that after each set the Pyramid's interior changes, and Emerald must be cautious.
==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
At the [[Battle Pyramid]], {{adv|Emerald}} continues on his trek through the pitch-black maze. Time has passed since the night he started, and although now on the third set, it is now daybreak. A {{p|Houndoom}} attacks, but Emerald counters with his {{p|Phanpy}}'s {{m|Earthquake}}, defeating it. Upon defeating the Houndoom, Emerald approaches the door, finally completing the third set in the process. [[Todd Snap]] congratulates Emerald on his victory, but points out how grueling the Battle Pyramid can be.


Emerald encounters a wild {{p|Misdreavus}}, and has his {{p|Shedinja}} use Shadow Ball to defeat it. [[Pyramid King Brandon]] contacts Todd and tells him the Pyramid was originally constructed by a great king from the past, and it contains many traps just as it did years ago. Brandon also says that anyone who challenges the pyramid will encounter numerous sentries who will test the challenger's bravery, and anyone who manages to scale the pyramid will be greatly rewarded.
On the next set, Emerald is startled by a wild {{p|Misdreavus}}, which he defeats with {{p|Shedinja}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Emerald and Todd point out how scary the place can be, which makes it perfect for a test of bravery. [[Brandon]] points out how the pyramids were designed to keep intruders and thieves out with traps, which is how the Battle Pyramid is designed as well. Brandon states that the place is designed to question one's bravery while also rewarding them for being able to conquer it. The room Emerald is in gets a little brighter, which he guesses is because he defeated a [[wild Pokémon]].


Emerald comes to the realization that everytime he defeats a wild monster the Pyramid gets slightly brighter which allows him to find his way easier. Todd is reflecting on Brandon and proclaims that he is deserving to be called a Frontier Brain, and worries that Emerald might not even stand a chance against Brandon's [[Regis]].
Todd expresses shock to see how Brandon is willing to play fair despite all the humiliation Emerald has brought upon him. However, Todd also points out that despite Brandon wanting the battle to be fair, Emerald will still have to face the [[Legendary Pokémon]] he has in his possession: {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.


Meanwhile Emerald is surprised by a {{p|Gengar}} and orders his {{p|Alakazam}} to teleport them to safety. Emerald explains to Todd that this set is designed to make his Pokémon run out of PP, and that Phanpy has been picking up items the whole time with it's ability. Todd then realizes that Emerald chose all three of his Pokémon for specific reasons (i.e. Phanpy's pick up abilitiy, Alakazam's teleportation, and Shedinja's energy conservation.)
Back inside the Pyramid, Emerald is forced to run away from a wild {{p|Gengar}} with {{p|Alakazam}}'s {{m|Teleport}}. Emerald reveals that although he wanted to use Shadow Ball, the Misdreavus he defeated earlier used {{m|Grudge}} to prevent Shedinja from using it again. Emerald reveals that in earlier sets, the Pokémon attempted to paralyze, poison, and burn his team, meaning that the current set is attempting to prevent him from using moves. Although Todd claims that the Battle Pyramid is too tough, Emerald tells him not to worry.


Just as Todd exclaims that Emerald will be able to conquer the Battle Pyramid with no problem, [[Palace Maven Spenser]] surprises him and tells him that Emerald may be disqualified from the challenge altogether. At the Battle Tower, the Frontier Brains are crowded around an injured Noland, when Spenser and Snap enter the room. Tucker explains that Noland was knocked out, and all the rental Pokémon were stolen. The Frontier Brains suspect Emerald of stealing the Pokémon to which Todd explains that Emerald was in the Battle Pike the whole day.
Phanpy arrives with several items in its mouth thanks to its {{a|Pickup}} [[Ability]], one of which being an [[Ether]]. Emerald points out that since he's allowed to pick up any dropped items and store them in his Battle Bag. Todd realizes that Emerald picked Phanpy for item gathering, Alakazam for escaping battles, and Shedinja for energy conservation, as it only has one Hit point, meaning there is no need to heal it. Todd praises Emerald's ability to pick the perfect Pokémon for any situation and believes that he can conquer the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Suddenly, [[Spenser]] appears and claims that Emerald might be disqualified from the challenge altogether. He apologizes to Todd for interrupting him but states that he will have to come with him.


Anabel tells the group to stop yelling and that Scott has left her with instructions on how to deal with the situation. She explains that first the battle demonstration for the press will continue, otherwise they would have to explain the circumstances, and chaos would ensue. Second the Frontier Brains must do everything in their power to capture the criminal and that they must catch them before the facilities are open to the public.  
Todd is taken to the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}, where [[Anabel]], [[Tucker]], [[Lucy]], and [[Greta]] loom over an unconscious [[Noland]]. They reveal that someone knocked Noland out and stole all of the [[rental Pokémon]]. When Todd asks who could have done such a thing, the [[Frontier Brain]]s gather around him, causing him to guess that they think it was Emerald. Todd points out how Emerald was at the [[Battle Pike]] all day, but Greta counters by stating that he's the only known outsider who doesn't have any Pokémon on hand.


Todd wonders how Emerald is doing and Lucy tells him that he is on the last floor of the tenth set. Emerald is confronted by Brandon and the three Regis who is surprised to see how many items Emerald had collected. Brandon and Emerald's battle begins with Brandon ordering his {{p|Regirock}} to use Superpower, and Emerald sends out his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} much to Brandon's surprise. Emerald tells his Sceptile to use Leech Seed, to which Brandon explains that cheap tricks like that will not work on him and he orders his Regirock to use Explosion.
The Frontier Brains and Todd get into an argument, but Anabel tells them to be silent. Anabel reveals that [[Scott]] has left her with some instructions on what to do. First, the demonstration will go on as planned, as it will cause chaos when they have to explain everything to the press, as well as give the criminal a chance to attack again. The second instruction is that all Frontier Brains must work together to capture the criminal before the Battle Frontier is officially open to the public.


==Major Events==
Tucker tells Todd to tell Emerald that he doesn't trust him and tosses him out of the room. Todd wonders how Emerald is doing and Lucy reveals that he has already made it to the final floor of the tenth set. On the top of the Battle Pyramid, Brandon greets Emerald with his three Pokémon standing behind him. Brandon praises Emerald's skill and is shocked at the number of items he gathered along the way. Emerald states that although he is scared to face Brandon's powerful team, he will still win the battle, no matter what.

==Debuts==
They start their battle, and Brandon sends out Regirock to use {{m|Superpower}}. To counter this, Emerald sends out {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, which surprises Brandon. As Sceptile holds Regirock's arm in place, Emerald has it use {{m|Leech Seed}} to [[Seeding|sap away its health]]. Brandon claims that cheap moves will not work on him and that all he needs to do is knock out Emerald's Sceptile in one attack from his ancient Pokémon. With that, he has Regirock blow itself up with a powerful {{m|Explosion}}.

At the Battle Pyramid, Emerald continues on his trek through the pitch-black maze. Time has passed since the night he started, and although now on the third set, it is now daybreak. A Houndoom attacks, but Emerald counters with his Phanpy's Earthquake, defeating it. Upon defeating the Houndoom, Emerald approaches the door, finally completing the third set in the process. Todd Snap congratulates Emerald on his victory, but points out how grueling the Battle Pyramid can be.

On the next set, Emerald is startled by a wild Misdreavus, which he defeats with Shedinja's Shadow Ball. Emerald and Todd point out how scary the place can be, which makes it perfect for a test of bravery.

Brandon states that the place is designed to question one's bravery while also rewarding them for being able to conquer it. The room Emerald is in gets a little brighter, which he guesses is because he defeated a wild Pokémon.
