4e. Boss: Roxanne                                                       [oleem]
=================

Before we actually tackle Roxanne, we need to get past her wall of lowly Gym
Trainers. There are only three of them, and the first one is right in front of
you.

Youngster Josh
Geodude, Lv.10
Money: 160

Now here's the fun part. A new feature in Pokemon Emerald is that if you enter
the sight of two Trainers, they will both challenge you for a Double Battle.

If you only have one able-bodied Pokemon to battle with, though, you'll just
fight one Trainer, then the other one immediately.

These team battles will be pointed out like it is below.

Youngster Tommy             <- Team Battle! ->         Hiker Marc
Geodude, Lv.8 (x2)             Money: 428              Geodude, Lv.8 (x2)

Also, you can also choose to just fight one Trainer at a time by directly
speaking to that Trainer.

Once you've blazed through this yawn-fest, heal if you need to, then come back
and save your game. Ready to fight your first boss?

My Pokemon:

o------------o-----o
|    Name    | Lvl |
o------------o-----o
| Marshtomp  |  16 |
o------------o-----o

Roxanne's Pokemon:

o------------o-----o------------o-----o------------o-----o
|    Name    | Lvl |    Name    | Lvl |    Name    | Lvl |
o------------o-----o------------o-----o------------o-----o    Money: 1500
|  Geodude   |  12 |  Geodude   |  12 |  Nosepass  |  15 |
o------------o-----o------------o-----o------------o-----o

If you have a Water-type attack at your disposal (Water Gun more than likely),
use that and kill off the Geodude in one shot. Nosepass is pure Rock, so no
easy pickings there. It has an Oran Berry attached to it, and Roxanne has two
Potions at her disposal. Each of her Pokemon know Rock Tomb, a Rock-type attack
that will lower Speed by 1 level with each hit. Defeat Roxanne to earn the
Stone Badge, the ability to use Cut out of battle, and TM39, Rock Tomb.
