Sapphire (Adventures): Difference between revisions

==Character history==

===Past===

Sapphire was born in [[Littleroot Town]], [[Hoenn]]. Her father was [[Professor Birch]], who was a Pokémon Researcher. As a child, she was an average fancy girl but that changed when she met Ruby. The two had a lot of fun with each other, until their playdate was interrupted by a {{p|Salamence}}. Acting quickly, {{adv|Ruby}} was able to knock it out with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. At that time, Rayquaza was being held by the Pokémon Association near the place he and Sapphire were playing and was set free by the Salamence. Sapphire ran away crying, and later came to realize she ruined Ruby's dignity, and vowed to become stronger.

==={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}===

Sapphire was introduced when she saved {{adv|Ruby}} from two wild {{p|Mightyena}}. She was, at first, mistaken by Ruby as a wild animal because she wore leaves and started attacking him. This hostility escalated when she learned the two had contrasting goals. Soon, they agreed to settle their rivalry with an 80-day pact, in which Sapphire would conquer all eight Gyms in [[Hoenn]] while Ruby did the same for all contests. She fainted shortly after that.

In [[Rustboro City]], Sapphire rescued [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} in a fountain, and chased after the SSS of Team Aqua. After that, she defeated [[Roxanne]] at the [[Rustboro Gym]]. After traveling to [[Dewford Island]] on Walo and training in the [[Granite Cave]], she defeated [[Brawly]], before traveling with Ruby to the Abandoned Ship, where they met up with [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] and [[Tabitha|Mitch]] of [[Team Magma]].

After parting ways with the boy in [[Slateport City]], Sapphire stumbled upon [[New Mauville]], where she helped [[Wattson]] and the [[Trick Master]] settle the underground city's generators. Sapphire then headed to Mt. Chimney, where she teamed up with [[Flannery]] to stop Team Aqua from killing the volcano. However, they failed to do so, and Sapphire went to [[Fortree City]] on Pilo, her {{p|Tropius}}.

Once there, Sapphire became [[Winona]]'s disciple after losing to her in a Gym battle. Soon, an emergency meeting of the Gym leaders brought Ruby, who had become [[Wallace]]'s student, to Fortree. Unfortunately, the two had a fall out after Sapphire learned that Ruby had been hiding his true strength from her and the boy showed little care about Hoenn's fate. As the awakening of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} brought havoc to Hoenn, Sapphire went with Winona to fight, and learned, in the process, about the Seafloor Cavern.

Soon, Ruby finally decided to join the battle and, with the help of Sapphire and her {{p|Relicanth|Relo}}, went to the Seafloor Cavern. At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] Wallace drove Ruby in his air car to Sapphire's location. He then explained to everyone that Relicanth could take him and Sapphire to the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. They then dived under the sea together, their goal to defeat Maxie and Archie.

At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against Maxie and Archie, gaining the edge by taking advantage of their selfish mindsets. However, the two leaders became fully taken over by the power of the orbs they held, and dragged their foes to [[Sootopolis City]], where the two titans were having their tremendous battle. Ruby and Sapphire, seeing the overwhelming power the two monsters held before them, lose all hope and tell their mentors to abscond. Winona and [[Wallace]], however, managed to snap them out of it, and after the two young [[Pokédex Holder]]s reminisce of their forgotten past, are able to drive the Red and Blue orbs out of the insane leaders' bodies using the [[Meteorite]] that deactivated [[Mt. Chimney]] earlier.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===

Almost a year after the {{adv|Ruby & Sapphire chapter|last chapter}}, Sapphire and Ruby, are sent to the Battle Frontier by [[Professor Birch]] to help out follow [[Pokédex holder]] {{Adv|Emerald}} in his quest to find and protect {{p|Jirachi}} from [[Guile Hideout]]. They first met up with Emerald at the [[Battle Dome]], but it soon became clear that he resented them. In order to get to know Emerald, the two entered the Battle Dome tournament. Sapphire fought against [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] in the semi-finals, but later lost to him. She and Ruby were kicked out of the Battle Dome by Emerald.
