Man Emerald really dropped quite a few notches in my book after this chapter. Not liking the fact that Ruby/Brendan and Sapphire/May treated their pokemon, and his pokemon trusting him, he switches them out for pokemon that he's barely even used, has Ruby and Sapphire kicked out of the Dome, and in turn getting his ass handed to him by Tucker. Just deserts, and quite possibly the only MC I've ever disliked, considering my method of training involves having my pokemon's friendship maxed out.
