Ruby (Adventures): Difference between revisions

In ''[[PS209|Hanging Around With Slaking I]]'', Norman attacked Ruby, demanding to know why he ran away from home. Refusing to give up or run away, Ruby chose to battle his father prove how serious he was about Contests. The two had a fierce battle that almost ended with both falling off the Weather Institute and onto some sharp debris below. With some help from [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}}, Feebas, now named [[Feefee]], and the Running Shoes, Ruby managed to save himself and Norman before finally collapsing. Before he left, Norman allowed Ruby to participate in Contests, chastised him for running away, and told him not to come home until he accomplished his goal. Afterward, Castform took a liking to Ruby, joined his team, and was named [[Fofo]].

In ''[[PS217|Mind-Boggling with Medicham]]'', Ruby made it to [[Verdanturf Town]] with the help of [[Gabby and Ty]], a pair of {{tc|Interviewers}} that had watched the battle between him and Norman. After obtaining a Contest Pass and winning all five Normal Rank Contests, Ruby met Wally's cousin, [[Wanda]], and helped rescue her fiancé, {{adv|Riley}} from a cave-in at [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The cause of the cave-in turned out to be a group of {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s led by Courtney. They admitted to be the ones who caused the earthquakes around Hoenn in an attempt to stimulate the earth's crust and increase the landmass. Ruby was taken into Rusturf Tunnel by Courtney, who wanted to try and convince Ruby to join Team Magma. Ruby refused and managed to escape, leaving Courtney behind, trapped in a sea of her {{p|Ninetales}}' flames. Though burnt from the attack, Courtney survived and decided to go on a solo mission to learn more about Ruby, whom she had taken an interest in.

In ''[[PS231|Master Class with Masquerain]]'', Mumu evolved into a Swampert, which Ruby noted was because of all the battles he had, which he had been trying to avoid the entire time. Feeling himself to be a nuisance and unneeded for the upcoming crisis, Ruby decided to run off and continue his Contest quest. Despite the city being flooded at the time, Ruby entered in the Hyper Rank Contests, which he easily managed to won due to being the only available contestant. During the Beauty Contest, Ruby went up against another contestant that kept their identity hidden and was defeated.

In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', Ruby and Sapphire were taken to Sootopolis City, where they were forced to watch Groudon and Kyogre's clash with no way of stopping it. When Wallace and Winona came to help, Ruby and Sapphire suggested running away. After being reminded of a childhood friend they wanted to see again, Ruby and Sapphire regained their resolve. By having Mumu and Chic fire their attacks on the [[Meteorite|Grand Meteor]] fragment, Ruby and Sapphire created a blast of energy that hit Maxie and Archie where the Red and Blue Orbs were located. The attack created a giant explosion that engulfed the entirety of Sootopolis. Ruby and Sapphire later awakened in a different location, where they met [[Juan]], [[Tate and Liza|Tate, and Liza]]. Juan had taken the two to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} with the intent of training them for a rematch with Groudon and Kyogre. Due to Mirage Island's special properties, the time Ruby and Sapphire spent training would differ than from the outside world, making a single day be a week elsewhere and vice versa. During their stay, the two reunited with Plusle and Minun, who were forced to relocate after Kyogre destroyed the Abandoned Ship. Later, Juan revealed the true purpose of the training was to help Ruby and Sapphire master the Red and Blue Orbs that entered their bodies after being forced out of Maxie and Archie. Once their training had finished, Ruby and Sapphire prepared to head back to Sootopolis.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', Norman collapsed from the strain of controlling Rayquaza without an Orb. Rayquaza, angered that its slumbered was disturbed, flew off elsewhere. Norman revealed that Rayquaza was once captured by the [[Pokémon Association], but the Salamence Ruby defeated years ago went on a rampage afterward, causing it to accidentally set Rayquaza free. To keep Ruby safe, Norman pinned the blame on himself and was barred from becoming a Gym Leader for five years while being forced to search for the missing Sky High Pokémon. Ruby tried asking why Norman would sacrificed everything for him, but before he could answer, Norman died in Ruby's arms.

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Ruby and Sapphire teamed up to battle Maxie and Archie one last time. Using the battle as a distraction, Maxie and Archie tried escaping in Wallace's aircar, but were defeated by a combination attack from Plusle and Minun, trapping them in a large electrical field. Ruby then released his sixth Pokémon, {{adv|Celebi}}, who proceeded to take the Red and Blue Orbs from the villains. Using its time traveling powers, Celebi restored those who died in the battle back to life and then shattered the two Orbs, finally ending the crisis in Hoenn.

Ruby and Sapphire awakened on the Pokémon Association airship, where their allies congratulated them on their victory. With only one day remaining, Ruby and Sapphire set off to complete their Contest and Gym challenges. The next day, Ruby and Sapphire met at Sapphire's Secret Base, where they revealed they successfully completed their goals, ending the bet in a tie. Afterward, both children returned home to celebrate both of their birthdays.
