This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: Organization and sub-pages would go a long way here.

Sonic Battle is a surprisingly good Sonic fighting game for the GBA, most notable for featuring 3D battle arenas (on the Game Boy Advance!) and Emerl.

To do: A lot.

よお！　エメル！ 練習していくか？ 一番先に　”10回 ＫＯ” したら、　勝負ありだ！ ガチンコで　いくぜ！ オレは　ここにいる。 力を試したくなったら　いつでも相手になるぜ！ くっ…　不覚… タンレンが　足りないようだな。 は～い！　エメル！ ボクササイズに　つきあってくれない？ 試合は　いつもと　いっしょよ。 一番先に　”10回 ＫＯ” したら　勝ちね！ カクゴはいい？　それじゃあ、　いくわよ！？ ちょっとは　ヤセたかしら？ アタシは　ここにいるから　また　相手をお願いね。 つよくなったわねー。 ごっめーん！ リキ　入りすぎちゃった　みたい！ こんにちは！　エメルサン！ ごきげんはいかがデスか？ いっしょに　あそびマショウ！ 一番さいしょに　”10回 ＫＯ” したら 勝ちデスよ？　いきマスよ～！ …　あ、　つよく　ぶたないでくだサイね？ わたしは　ここにいマス。 また　あそんでくだサイね！ まけちゃいマシタ… フフ…　まだまだデスね！！ 訓練モードを起動するか？ 勝利条件は、　”10回 ＫＯ” だ。 戦闘開始。 ワタシはここにいる。 いつでも　こい。 試合終了。　おまえの勝ちだ。 試合終了。　おまえの負けだ。 ふん…。 戦っていくか？ 試合形式は　いつものように　”10回 ＫＯ” 先取だ。 気を抜くと　ケガをするぞ！ 僕はここにいる。 いつでも　相手になるぞ。 やるじゃないか… 気を抜くなといっただろう…	Hey! Emerl! Are you looking to spar? If you get "10 KOs" first, then you win. I'm not going to hold back! If you feel like you need some practice, come over here, and I'll spar with you! Uh...! This is a bit unexpected... Doesn't look like you've had sufficient training. Hi! Emerl! Care to join me in my boxercising? It's the same workout as usual. Whoever gets "10 KOs" first, wins! Are you ready? Then, let's get started, OK!? Have I lost any weight? I'm always here, so drop by any time. It's always more fun to workout with a partner. You're getting stronger! Sorry! It seems like used too much strength! Hello! Emerl! How are you? Let's play together! If you get "10 KOs" first, you win. Let's go! ...Ah, don't beat me too badly, please? I'm always here. Any time you want to play, just drop by. I've lost... Hey! Did I win? Shall I boot up Training Mode? To achieve victory, get "10 KOs" Initiating battle. I am always available here. Should you wish to challenge me, please come here. The game has ended. You have won. The game has ended. You have lost. Hmph... Do you want to fight with me? The rule is to get "10 KOs" first. If you take this lightly, you will get hurt! So prepare yourself! I am always here. I'll be your practice partner should you need me. You have done rather well... I told you not to take this lightly...	Generic dialogue meant for the optional practice battles outside Emerl's episode. Only Sonic, Tails and Rouge's dialogue ends up being used, as the other characters either can't be optionally fought or reuse dialogue from Emerl's episode.
