+==History==
+===Pokémon Colosseum===
+[[File:Rui close shot.png|thumb|left|200px|Rui about to notice a Shadow Pokémon in Colosseum]]
+Prior to the opening of Pokémon Colosseum, Rui was on her way to visit her grandfather, [[Eagun]], in [[Agate Village]]. Passing through [[Pyrite Town]]'s Duel Square, she noticed a strange, black aura surrounding a Pokémon that was later identified as a [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Once the [[Cipher Peon]]s who owned the Shadow Pokémon realized that she could recognize and identify the altered Pokémon, they kidnapped her on the orders of [[Ein]] to prevent her from revealing [[Cipher]]'s plans.
-== History ==
+After dragging her across the [[Orre]] desert to [[Phenac City]], the thugs are eventually thwarted by the efforts of [[Wes]] and his {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}. Grateful for the rescue, Rui has Wes help her talk to [[Mayor Es Cade]] about her kidnapping. Soon after this, Wes is confronted by three [[Team Snagem]] members, where Rui learns about Wes' past connection to them, as well as the existence of the [[Snag Machine]] Wes stole from them. After Wes drives them away, she tells Wes how she doesn't mind his past because she is grateful for how he rescued her. She then tells Wes that the Snag Machine has given her an idea. Shortly after obtaining [[Poké Ball]]s and encountering their first Shadow Pokémon together, Rui tells Wes her idea for him to use the Snag Machine to take back these Pokémon, which introduces the [[snagging]] mechanic of the game. After this, Rui is determined to help Wes get to the bottom of the conspiracy developing in the desert, and she follows behind Wes throughout the rest of the game.
-Rui was on her way to visit her grandfather, [[Eagun]], in [[Agate Village]], when she noticed a strange [[aura]] surrounding a [[Pokémon]] that was later identified as a [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Once the [[Cipher]] thugs who owned the Shadow Pokémon realized that she could recognize and identify the altered Pokémon, they kidnapped her on the orders of [[Ein]] to prevent her from revealing the criminal organization's plans.
+Rui supports Wes in his quest to defeat [[Cipher]] and Team Snagem by identifying Shadow Pokémon for Wes. Although Shadow Pokémon are usually indistinguishable from the regular kind to normal people, Rui is able to sense the black aura surrounding them (although the reason as to why she is able to see this aura is never explained). Using this ability, Rui is able to identify Shadow Pokémon so that Wes can [[snagging|snag]], and eventually [[purification|purify]], them.

+In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, which takes place five years after {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, Rui is mentioned several times by the people of [[Orre]]. However, she is not actually seen, nor is she mentioned by name.

+==Quotes==
+===Pokémon Colosseum===
+;Agate Village
+:''"Oh, here we are! This is where my grandpa and grandma live. Sigh... The air tastes a lot different here. It's been so long! Okay, let's get going. I bet they're worried about me not getting here."
+:''"Oh, please, stop it! Giggle..."
+*Eagun's house
+:''"Grandpa <sc>Eagun</sc>! Grandma <sc>Beluh</sc>! I missed you!"
+:''"I had just this terrible time! On the way here, I was abducted by these creepy people... Luckily, I was saved by <player>, who happened to be there by coincidence."
+:''"It's probably because I can see these bizarre <sc>Pokémon</sc>. They're <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>, <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been turned into fighting machines with hearts of darkness."
+:''"Well..."
+*Relic Forest
+:''"Grandpa! <sc>Pikachu</sc>!"
+:''"How dare you? You'll never get away with this!"
+*After defeating Skrub
+:''"Grandpa! Are you okay?!"
+*Eagun's house
+:''"Oh, no, that's no good. We came here because we thought you might know something, Grandpa."
+:''"Oh, <player>. Your P★DA just rang. Oh, right! It might be <sc>Duking</sc> with some news. Quick, let's check it out."
+:''"Whaaat?! Those crooks are loose on <sc>Mt. Battle</sc> now?! That's awful! We can't let this go on! <player>, let's go! ...Oh, wait. Grandpa, where is <sc>Mt. Battle</sc>, anyway?"
-It is unclear where exactly Rui is from. It is known she was on her way to visit her grandparents in [[Agate Village]], suggesting that she is not exactly from said village.  None of the other towns in [[Orre]] seem to home to her, so it's possible that Rui is not a native of Orre in the first place, that her home is in some Orre town that is never seen, or that the game designers just thought it was unimportant. After the events of {{g|Colosseum}}, it is assumed that Rui returned to her home, regardless of where it might be.
+;Mt. Battle
+*After defeating Dakim
+:''"I'm <partner> and this is <player>. We're glad to see you!"
+:''"B-But... Are you certain? May we really have something this precious?"
-The extent of Rui's abilities are never detailed or specified. Possible origins for her powers are never brought up, nor is it known if Rui has the potential for other powers besides identifying [[Shadow Pokémon]]. At face value, though, Rui's powers are at least somewhat similar to the empathic [[Pokémon]] telepathy that {{adv|Yellow}} possesses in the {{g|Adventures}} manga.
+==In the manga==
+===Pokémon Colosseum Snatcher Leo===
+Rui appears in [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatcher Leo]].
+{{sectionstub}}
-Rui doesn't appear to own any {{g|}} of her own, or at least they are never seen or mentioned. This is quite odd, since she obviously is extremely fond of Pokémon, and her grandfather was such a fantastic {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It is possible that she left hers at home, or simply was unable to acquire any of her own in Orre, where [[wild Pokémon]] are rare to non-existent.
+===Pokémon Colosseum Snatchers===
+Rui appears in [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatchers]].
-Often throughout the game, other characters will refer to Rui and [[Wes]] as a couple. Interestingly enough, this is not an assumption that Rui tries to dispute, suggesting that Rui at least may feel more than friendship for Wes. The belief that Wes and Rui are romantically involved is known in the fandom as [[ColosseumShipping]].
+{{sectionstub}}
-In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, which takes place five years after {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, she is mentioned several times by the people of [[Orre]]. However, she is not actually seen.

 ==Trivia==
-* In the English editions of {{g|Colosseum}}, her shirt and skirt were lengthened.
+* If Wes attempts to use a [[Poké Ball]] on a non-Shadow Pokémon, Rui cries out, "No, wait! That POKéMON doesn't have a black aura!" This essentially prevents Wes from being able to snag non-Shadow Pokémon, since his version of the [[Snag Machine]] does not restrict him from snagging non-Shadow Pokémon, unlike Michael's in Pokémon XD, which is tied to the [[Aura Reader]] to prevent its misuse.
+** This creates a couple oddities, however:
+*** Even after Wes and Rui learn the term "Shadow Pokémon," Rui still uses the above line, even though she could refer to it as a Shadow Pokémon (and even does so in dialogue during the story).
+*** This message pops up even when Rui is not with Wes when he attempts to snag a non-Shadow Pokémon, such as during the [[Mt. Battle]] 100-battle challenge.
+* Although a romantic relationship is never confirmed in-game or in its sequel, many characters remark on how Wes and Rui "make a good-looking couple" and other similar comments.
+* In the international localizations of {{g|Colosseum}}, her shirt and skirt were lengthened.
