'''Sapphire Birch''' (Japanese: '''オダマキ・サファイア''' ''Sapphire Odamaki'') is the ninth main character of the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Her first two Pokémon are a {{p|Torchic}} and an {{p|Aron}}; she probably got them from her father, [[Professor Birch]].
'''Sapphire Birch''' (Japanese: '''オダマキ・サファイア''' ''Sapphire Odamaki'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]].


Sapphire loves to {{pkmn|battle}} and is a tomboy; she has been seen swinging on vines through trees in an outfit made of leaves. However, she does have a feminine side, as she explains to {{adv|Ruby}} in volume 19. She is [[FranticShipping|in love]] with Ruby, yet, even after they both confess their feelings, she becomes annoyed at Ruby constantly avoiding the matter.
==Character==
Sapphire is a Pokémon Trainer and the daughter of [[Professor Birch]]. She often assists her father with his fieldwork and years of doing so have given her various skills such as heightened physical strength and senses. Due to constantly being surrounded by nature, she has come to dislike the idea of beautifying Pokémon instead of leaving them in their natural state. After some character development, she has learned to appreciate the idea of beauty.


==Character history==
For her skills, she is given the title of '''"[[Gym|Conqueror]]"''' ({{tt|究める者|きわめるもの}} ''Conqueror'').
===Past===
[[Image:Young_sapphire.png|thumb|left|150px|Sapphire as a child]]
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, 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.

==History==
[[Image:Sapphire Vol 21.png|thumb|right|250px|Sapphire in the cover of volume 21]]
{{Spoilers}}
Sapphire was introduced when she saved [[Ruby (Adventures)|Ruby]] from two wild {{p|Mightyena}}s. 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 8 gyms in [[Hoenn]] while Ruby did the same for all contests. She fainted shortly after that.
===Prior to {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
As a young child, Sapphire had a childhood friend named {{adv|Ruby}} that she played with. One day, Ruby fought a {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} that attacked them and won, but was injured in the process. Terrified from the experience, Sapphire broke down crying. Believing that Ruby got injured because of her own weakness, Sapphire vowed to become stronger.


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]].
==={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
[[File:Young Sapphire Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Sapphire, five years before the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}]]
[[File:Sapphire RS Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Sapphire's original outfit]]
Sapphire debuted in ''[[PS182|Making Mirth with Mightyena]]''. She rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a pair of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mightyena}} at {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and took him to her [[Secret Base]] to recover. When Sapphire tried talking to Ruby later, he mistook Sapphire for talking Pokémon due to her leaf cloak. Ruby's {{p|Poochyena}}, [[Nana]], bit Sapphire, angering her into removing the cloak and attacking him with her {{p|Torchic}}, [[Chic]]. Overhearing the incident on his [[Pokégear]], Professor Birch revealed to Ruby that Sapphire is actually his daughter. Though the misunderstanding was cleared, Sapphire and Ruby were attacked by a wild {{p|Seviper}}. Ruby refused to fight as to not risk dirtying his Pokémon, forcing Sapphire to defeat the Tail Snake Pokémon by herself. Afterward, the two began arguing over their interests, which ended with Sapphire deciding to make a bet to see who could conquer their respective goal within an 80-day time limit. After Ruby agreed, Sapphire fainted from the injuries she received from protecting Ruby from the Mightyena earlier. Ruby healed Sapphire's wounds and modified a spare set of his clothes for Sapphire to wear.


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}}.
In ''[[PS184|Distracting Dustox]]'', Sapphire went back to [[Littleroot Town]] and returned the items and {{p|Treecko}} Ruby had accidentally taken from Professor Birch earlier with the exception of his [[Pokédex]]. Later that day, Sapphire changed into the clothes Ruby made for her and set out with Chic and [[Rono]] to begin her journey to conquer all of Hoenn's Gyms.
[[Image:Sapphire E.png|thumb|left|250px|Sapphire in the Emerald arc of the manga]]
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.
In ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', Sapphire rescued [[Mr. Stone]]'s [[Fofo|Castform]] from being trapped in a fountain at {{rt|104|Hoenn}}. A trio of Pokémon emerged from the fountain and stole an item from Mr. Stone before running off. With an injured Mr. Stone on her back, Sapphire, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, and Ty]] chased the Pokémon to the [[Petalburg Woods]], where they found that they were under the ownership of [[Shelly]], [[Matt]], and {{adv|Amber}}. Sapphire was unable to defeat the [[Team Aqua]] members, but with Castform's help, she and the others managed to escape. Afterward, Sapphire apologized for her failure and received a [[Letter]] from Mr. Stone addressed to his son, {{Steven}}.


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.
[[File:Sapphire first outfit.png|thumb|right|170px|Sapphire wearing leaf clothing]]
In ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', Sapphire arrived at the [[Rustboro Gym]], where she challenged the [[Gym Leader]], [[Roxanne]]. By exploiting [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]'s inability to face in directions other than north, Sapphire managed to defeat the Compass Pokémon and earn the {{Badge|Stone}}. Afterward, in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]'', Sapphire summoned her father's {{p|Wailord}}, Lorry, from the ocean and had it take her to [[Dewford Town]].


In the ensuing explosion, the two were blown away, and soon were then taken to Mirage Island, where they, under the leadership of Wallace's master [[Juan]], trained and learned that they had absorbed the Blue and Red Orbs, during which [[Rono]] evolved to an {{p|Aggron}}. After they complete their training and learn to control the orbs to their will, Sapphire receives the [[Mind Badge|Mind]] and [[Rain Badge]]s.
In ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'', Sapphire arrived at Dewford Town, where she met [[Brawly]], the Gym Leader and a surfer. Brawly told Sapphire he was going on a trip and she only had until the next day to challenge him before the Gym would be closed for several days. Afterward, Sapphire went to look for a place to train and encountered Ruby. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Sapphire and Ruby entered [[Granite Cave]], but went their separate ways. Sapphire used the location as a place to train Chic and Rono, who both ended up evolving into a {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Lairon}}, respectively.


Just before leaving Mirage Island. Sapphire told a shocked Ruby that she liked him. Before Ruby could respond, they had to leave and he didn't get to tell her that he felt the same way until they reached [[Sootopolis City]], where he pushed Sapphire away in order to protect her. Ruby then left with Marge in order to fight against Maxie, Archie and the Ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre.
In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire challenged the [[Dewford Gym]], where she struggled due to Brawly's mastery of the subtlety fighting style. Despite this, Sapphire managed to win by having Chic counter Brawly's newly-evolved {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}} with a powerful {{m|Double Kick}} earning her the {{Badge|Knuckle}}. Afterward, a loud noise erupted from Granite Cave, and Sapphire went there to see if Ruby was safe. Ruby was unharmed and revealed he met Steven, who saved him from a group of wild Pokémon before leaving. Wanting to catch up with Steven, Sapphire grabbed Ruby and had Lorry swim in the direction Steven headed towards.


Soon, Sapphire escaped the air car and came to the battlefield, where the two rivals charged up {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} and finally defeated Archie and Maxie. Ruby then used {{p|Celebi}} to restore peace.
In ''[[PS198|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun I]]'', Sapphire forced Ruby to stay the night on the [[Abandoned Ship]]. The ship was invaded by [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]], members of [[Team Magma]] that were after a [[Scanner]] located in the area. With the help of a wild {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}} and {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}}, Sapphire and Ruby managed to escape, but ended up losing the Scanner to the villains. Afterward, they said their goodbyes to Minun and Plusle.


The next day was the eightieth day of the bet and Sapphire had succeed in her goal of getting all of the badges in Hoenn. She then ran off into the sunset with Ruby to [[Littleroot Town]], where a party was awaiting for both of their birthdays.
After parting ways with Ruby, Sapphire arrived at [[Mauville City]] in ''[[PS203|I'm Your Biggest Fan, Donphan]]''. There, she helped the Gym Leader, [[Wattson]], and his friend, the [[Trick Master]] deal with a wild rampaging {{p|Donphan}}. After the clash caused all four to end up falling into the secret underground city, [[New Mauville]], Sapphire teamed up with the Trick Master and Donphan to defeat an out-of-control electrical generator robot and turn New Mauville into an amusement park for children to play in. Afterward, Sapphire obtained the {{Badge|Dynamo}} and set off with Donphan, who joined her team and was named Phado.


==={{chap|Emerald}}===
In ''[[PS212|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill I]]'' , Sapphire arrived at the base of [[Mt. Chimney]], where she fought against [[Matt]] in the Cable Car to rescue [[Flannery]], the Gym Leader of [[Lavaridge Town]]. After Matt was defeated, Sapphire summoned her father's {{p|Tropius}}, [[Troppy]], to take her and Flannery to the top of Mt. Chimney so they could confront Matt's allies. After they arrived, Sapphire and Flannery learned that Team Aqua's goal was to trick [[Professor Cozmo]] in helping them halt Mt. Chimney's volcanic activity. Despite her best efforts, Sapphire's attempt to stop Team Aqua was blocked by {{adv|Amber}} until it was too late. With their plan successful, Team Aqua escaped and took Professor Cozmo with them.
Almost a year after the {{adv|Ruby & Sapphire chapter|last chatper}}, Sapphire and Ruby, are sent to the Battle Frontier by [[Professor Birch]] to help out follow [[Pokédex holder]] [[Emerald]] in his quest to find and protect [[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.


Outside, the two ran into [[Palace Maven Spenser]], who recognized her as a person who had held the [[Blue Orb]]. Ruby found this odd and recorded this encounter with the power of the Memory Lighter that he had been given from Marge. After Guile Hideout captured Jirachi, Ruby and Sapphire teamed up with [[Noland]] and Emerald and challenged the Battle Tower as a four man team.
After failing to pursue Team Aqua, Sapphire returned to Flannery and found that she managed to revive Mt. Chimney, but only temporarily. Using what little time Mt. Chimney had remaining, Sapphire and Flannery took a dip in a hot spring, where they had their Gym battle. Afterward, Flannery revealed she planned on meeting with the other Gym Leaders to discuss what to do with Team Aqua. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}}, Sapphire set off to [[Fortree City]] for her next Gym battle.


On the top floor, the team found [[Anabel]] brainwashed and under the control of Guile Hideout. With the use of [[Latios]] and [[Latias]] shared sight ability, Spenser informed the trio of Pokédex Holders that Guile had touched the Blue Orb, forcing Guile to reveal his true identity as Archie. After Archie summoned the Great Sea Beast to flood the Battle Frontier, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were joined by [[Crystal]] and [[Gold]], who revealed that Ruby and Sapphire needed Jirachi to revive their senior Pokédex Holders [[Red]], [[Blue]], [[Green]], [[Yellow]] and [[Silver]], who had all been petrified by a beam that was meant for [[Deoxys]] at the end of the {{adv|FireRed and LeafGreen chapter}}.
In ''[[PS226|I Dare Ya, Altaria... Knock Chic off My Shoulder!]]'', Sapphire arrived at Fortree City, where she met the Gym Leader, [[Winona]] and challenged her to a battle. Despite Chic evolving into a {{p|Blaziken}}, Sapphire lost, but agreed to become Winona's student and train with her. Winona then asked Sapphire to help her and the other Gym Leaders deal with the upcoming awakening of the {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. When [[Wallace]] arrived to meet with his fellow Gym Leaders, Sapphire was shocked to find Ruby there with him.


After Emerald was able to awaken the older Pokédex Holders from their petrification, Sapphire used Toro newly learned [[Blast Burn]] attack to destroy the sea beast. After the battle was over, Sapphire participated in a tournament between all ten Pokédex Holders, which she, at some point, lost.
In ''[[PS227|I'm Always Grumpig First Thing in the Morning I]]'', after being left alone together, Sapphire and Ruby tried apologizing for their previous arguments, only for an earthquake to startle a group of wild {{p|Spoink}} and {{p|Grumpig}} into stampeding. Ruby instinctively defeated the Grumpig, accidentally revealing to Sapphire that he wasn't a weak Trainer like she had assumed. Though mad at Ruby for lying to her, Sapphire noted that with Ruby's strength, he could help the Gym Leaders with the upcoming crisis in Hoenn. When Ruby stated he had no interest in helping, Sapphire angrily removed the clothes he made for her, changed into a new leaf outfit, and told Ruby that she never wanted to see him again.
[[File:Sapphire second outfit Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Sapphire's second outfit]]
In ''[[PS231|Master Class with Masquerain]]'', Sapphire challenged Winona to another training session and won, earning the {{Badge|Feather}} in the process. In ''[[PS235|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III]]'', massive {{a|Drought|heat wave}} struck Fortree City, evaporating the water and burning the plants to ash in an instant. Realizing that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and Kyogre have awakened, Sapphire and the Gym Leaders split into three groups of two to try and stop the disasters while rescuing any civilians caught up in the incident. Sapphire and Winona went to {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, where Sapphire encountered a {{p|Relicanth}} that had been forcibly pushed to dry land due to how rough the waves were. After it saved them from an incoming tsunami, Sapphire decided to keep Relicanth until it was healed, naming it Relly in the process. Afterward, Sapphire and Winona met [[Tate and Liza]]'s grandparents, the former guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]]. The elderly couple revealed that fighting Groudon and Kyogre is useless and the best way to stop the conflict is to go to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and stop the one controlling them with the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s. Due to the Seafloor Cavern being located deep underwater, Sapphire and the others had no way of reaching that location.
 
In ''[[PS238|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon VI]]'', Sapphire and Winona were approached by Ruby and Wallace, the former stating he had a change of heart and has decided to help stop the crisis. Ruby revealed that Relly had the ability to take two children down to the Seafloor Cavern. After being a handed a new set of clothes, Sapphire and Ruby used Relly's power to {{m|Dive}} into the water.
 
In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', Sapphire and Ruby arrived at the Seafloor Cavern, where they battled a group of {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Team Magma}} and {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Aqua Grunts}} and won. In ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', they encountered [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the respective leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma. After managing to subdue the leaders, Ruby tried taking the Blue and Red Orbs from them, only to find that they've been absorbed into their hands. The leaders are possessed by the orbs, putting them under Kyogre and Groudon's control. With their new power, Archie and Maxie create a vortex of energy that lifts them, Sapphire, Ruby, and the Grunts out of the Seafloor Cavern and to the surface. They then fly towards [[Sootopolis City]], where Kyogre and Groudon planned to restart their ancient battle.
 
In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', Sapphire and Ruby were taken to Sootopolis City, where they were forced to watch Kyogre and Groudon's clash with no way of stopping it. When Winona and Wallace came to help, Sapphire and Ruby suggested running away. After being reminded of a childhood friend they wanted to see again, Sapphire and Ruby regained their resolve. Sapphire and Ruby had Chic and [[Mumu]] fire their attacks on the Grant Meteor fragment, creating a blast of energy that hit Archie and Maxie where the Blue and Red Orbs were located. Though successful in removing the Orbs, the attack created a giant explosion that engulfed the entirety of Sootopolis.
 
In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice & Registeel I]]'', Sapphire encountered Steven and gave the Letter to him. With it along with Lorry and Relly, Sapphire and Steven managed to awaken the sleeping Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. A second explosion separated the two, and Sapphire later awakened with Ruby 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 Kyogre and Groudon. Due to Mirage Island's special properties, the time Sapphire and Ruby spent training would differ than from the outside world, making a single day be a week elsewhere and vice versa. During their stay, Rono evolved into an {{p|Aggron}}, and the two reunited with Minun and Plusle, who were forced to relocate after Kyogre destroyed the Abandoned Ship. Later, Juan revealed the true purpose of the training was to help Sapphire and Ruby master the Blue and Red Orbs that entered their bodies after being forced out of Archie and Maxie. Once their training had finished, Sapphire and Ruby prepared to head back to Sootopolis. As acknowledgement of her strength, Juan presented Sapphire with the {{badge|Rain}} while Tate and Liza gave her the {{badge|Mind}}.
 
In ''[[PS259|Rayquaza Redemption II]]'', Sapphire confessed to Ruby that she had developed feelings for him. She admitted that the bet was made to fulfill a promise to a childhood friend who suggested they beat all eight Gym Leaders before they turned eleven to surpass {{adv|Red}}, a Trainer that beat the Pokémon League at that age. Sapphire then asked Ruby to give up on his previous statement of wanting to return to his home region of [[Johto]] and stay in Hoenn with her. After making their way back to Sootopolis, Ruby had Sapphire release the Blue Orb before locking her inside Wallace's aircar. Ruby showed Sapphire the scar on his forehead, revealing to Sapphire that he was the boy she knew from her younger years. After admitting he returned Sapphire's feelings but didn't want her to get hurt and, Ruby set off with Courtney to battle against Kyogre and Groudon.
 
Eventually, Ruby managed to successfully use the Orbs to pacify Kyogre and Groudon, forcing both Pokémon to return to their eternal slumber. In ''[[PS265|It All Ends Now VI]]'', Ruby was attacked by Archie and Maxie, who returned and decided to work together and eliminate any obstacle before awakening Kyogre and Groudon again to continue their battle. Sapphire and Wallace came to Ruby's aid, but the latter was forced to give up in order to protect Winona, leading to his defeat.
 
In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Sapphire and Ruby teamed up to battle Archie and Maxie one last time. Using the battle as a distraction, Archie and Maxie 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 Blue and Red Orbs from the villains. Using its [[Time travel|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.
 
Sapphire and Ruby awakened on the Pokémon Association airship, where their allies congratulated them on their victory. With only one day remaining, Sapphire and Ruby set off to complete their Gym and Contest challenges. The next day, Sapphire and Ruby 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.
 
==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===
[[File: Sapphire Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Sapphire in the Emerald arc]]
In ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', Sapphire and Ruby arrived at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in order to assist {{adv|Emerald}}, the third Hoenn Pokédex holder, in protecting {{adv|Jirachi}} from the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]]. After meeting Emerald, the boy ran off saying that he didn't need their help. In an attempt to befriend Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby competed in a [[Battle Dome]] tournament. Sapphire advanced to the semi-finals, but was defeated by [[Tucker]]. Afterward, Emerald got frustrated by their constant pestering that he had Sapphire and Ruby thrown out of the Battle Dome.
 
In ''[[PS322|A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up II]]'', Sapphire and Ruby encountered [[Spenser]], who noted Sapphire's connection to the Blue Orb. Finding Spenser's behavior suspicious, Sapphire and Ruby recorded their conversation with him on Ruby's Memory Lighter. In ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', Spenser revealed that Guile managed to catch Jirachi and fled with it to the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}. Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, and [[Noland]] all traveled to the Battle Tower in order to confront the man. After making their way into the area, they discovered that [[Anabel]] had been put under Guile's control.
 
In ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'', Guile forced the Hoenn Pokédex holders and Noland to take the Battle Tower challenge in order to make it to him. The four battled through various Virtual Trainers before finally reaching the top floor, where Emerald faced off against Anabel. During the battle, {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}} arrived and used its Sight Sharing to relay a message from Spenser, who revealed that he came in contact with the Blue Orb in the past and gained the ability to detect others like him, which included Guile. With his identity exposed, Guile lifted his helmet, revealing himself to be Archie.
 
In ''[[PS328|The Final Battle I]]'', Guile used Jirachi's wishing granting power to summon a giant Kyogre-shaped mass of seawater and had it flood the Battle Frontier. Sapphire and the others were assisted by the Johto Pokédex holders, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}, who revealed that their fellow Pokédex holder were turned to stone and the only way of reviving them was Jirachi. While Gold and Crystal kept the Kyogre monster busy, the Hoenn Pokédex holders trained to learn the ultimate moves, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. After they succeeded, Emerald managed to get Jirachi to grant his wish to turn the petrified Pokédex holders back to normal.
 
In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', the ten Pokédex holders gathered together to for one final battle against Guile and his army of rental Pokémon. By utilizing a triple Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Frenzy Plant, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} combination, the Kyogre sea monster was overloaded with energy and exploded, finally ending the conflict with Guile. In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', Sapphire participated in a tournament between the Pokédex holders, which she lost at some point.
 
==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===
In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, the Hoenn Pokédex holders were enlisted by Steven and Mr. Stone to prevent a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the Earth and destroying it. Steven gave the three a [[Mega Bracelet]], enabling them to use [[Mega Evolution]] and had them train with [[Ultima]] so Mumu, Chic, and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} could fully master the Ultimate Moves. Ruby only agreed to help on the condition that Sapphire be kept in the dark about the meteoroid. While Sapphire and Emerald practiced with each other, Ruby had plans elsewhere and lent Mumu to Sapphire so it could train without him.
 
In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Sapphire trained her new {{p|Kirlia}}, Kirly, and Ruby's [[Rara]] in order to evolve them into a {{p|Gardevoir}} fighting pair. When she accidentally kicked up a [[Dawn Stone]], Kirly evolved into a {{p|Gallade}} instead. Later, Sapphire and Emerald fully mastered the Ultimate Moves with Ultima's guidance and gained the ability to use Mega Evolution. In order to prevent potential enemies from finding them, Mr. Stone had the training moved to the abandoned energy harvesting facility, [[Sea Mauville]].
 
In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', the group arrived at the Sea Mauville, where Sapphire reunited with Plusle and Minun, who had made the facility their new home. The next day, Sapphire and Emerald assisted Steven and Mr. Stone by putting Chic and Sceptile on a machine known as an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and using the power of the Ultimate Moves in their Mega-Evolved forms. To their horror, the Absorber drained Chic and Sceptile of their life energy to fuel a machine known as the dimensional shifter.
 
In [[PS604]], the [[Draconid people|Draconid]] Zinnia and a group of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts attacked the Sea Mauville in order to destroy the dimensional shifter. After Zinnia revealed the truth about the meteoroid, the shock of Ruby and the others lying to her caused Sapphire to lose her voice. During the clash, Zinnia managed to steal Sapphire's Mega Bracelet, and Sapphire ended up falling into a ring belonging to the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Hoopa}}. Sapphire was transported to the inside of a rocket located at [[Mossdeep City]], where she handed the dimensional shifter to Professor Cozmo and his [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|assistants]].
 
In [[PS608]], Sapphire met with Steven and Mr. Stone again. While Mr. Stone oversaw the rocket's launch, Sapphire battled against Zinnia in order to prevent from interfering with it. Eventually, Sapphire lost and was sent flying, allowing Zinnia to knock the rocket into the water and destroy the dimensional shifter.
 
[[File: Ruby Sapphire Contest outfits Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Ruby and Sapphire wearing their [[Contest Costume]]s]]
In [[PS612]], Sapphire woke up at {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, where she landed after Zinnia defeated her. There, she met [[Aarune]], who saw her falling and rescued her. Later, Sapphire spotted Ruby with {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} and confronted him about lying to her. After Ruby apologized, Sapphire agreed to help stop the meteoroid and jumped onto Rayquaza's head. To Sapphire's shock, Archie and Maxie also appeared with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre and Groudon. The four then teamed up to destroy a large piece of the meteoroid, combining the power of Hoenn's three super-ancient Pokémon into one attack to shatter it to pieces. After they succeeded, Sapphire used the [[Jade Orb]] core to peer into Rayquaza's mind, revealing it needed the power of Mega Evolution to defeat the actual meteoroid.
 
In [[PS615]], Zinnia managed to lure Rayquaza away from Sapphire and Ruby, but her attempt to convince the Sky High Pokémon to join ended with it rejecting and attacking her. Zinnia was rescued by Latios and taken to Sootopolis City to recover from her injuries. Brought to tears, Zinnia gave up and admitted there was no way to save the planet anymore. Emerald disagreed and suggested the three factions that tried to stop the meteoroid work together instead of fighting with each other.
 
In [[PS616]], the group's allies from around Hoenn gathered together to lend a hand and stop the meteoroid, now known as Grand Meteor Delta. After changing into their [[Contest Costume]]s and putting [[Aqua Suit|Aqua]] and [[Magma Suit]]s over them, Sapphire and Ruby set off with Rayquaza to space. With the power of Mega Rayquaza and the combined might of their allies from Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and Johto, Sapphire and Ruby successfully shattered Grand Meteor Delta into pieces. A {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 1|Deoxys}} emerged from the wreckage of the meteoroid, but was defeated when Rayquaza shattered its core, knocking it unconscious. Afterward, Rayquaza took Sapphire and Ruby back down to Earth, where they reunited with their friends.
 
With the crisis averted, Sapphire and Ruby participated in a {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}} together.
 
==={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}===
In ''[[PS377|Hurrah for Rapidash]]'', Sapphire was mentioned, although not by name, when [[Byron]] compared {{adv|Platinum}} having earned six Badges in 25 days to Sapphire's achievement of earning eight Badges in 80 days.
 
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Sapphire was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].

==Pokémon==
These are all of Sapphire's Pokémon as of {{PAV|22}}.
In the original version, Sapphire follows a "one syllable, then another syllable repeated twice" pattern in her nicknames with Chic being the only exception. In the VIZ Media translation, Sapphire follows a pattern of using a piece of the species name and ending it in "o" with Chic being an exception. For the two Pokémon given to her from her father and for Relly and Kirly, Sapphire follows a pattern of taking a piece of the species name and ending it "-y." In the Chuang Yi translation, Sapphire follows a pattern of using a piece of the species name and ending it in "o".

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Like her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}, she is the only female rival in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
* Sapphire was the first character to successfully earn every Gym Badge in her home region. {{adv|Red}} challenged Gyms as well; although Red defeated every Gym Leader in [[Kanto]], he never did obtain an {{Badge|Earth}}. {{adv|Silver}}, who also owned eight Badges, simply stole his from the Gym Leaders of Johto instead of winning them in Gym battles.
* She is the only female Pokémon Adventures character named after a [[generation]]'s second [[version]] ({{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} are all male). Like them, however, she is the designated rival of the character with the name of the respective primary version, and based on the rival in the respective games.
* {{wp|Sapphire}}s are the birthstone for those born in September, the month in which Sapphire herself is born.
** Likewise, she was the only Pokémon Adventures counterpart to a female player character not named for the third version ({{adv|Green}}, counterpart to {{ga|Leaf}}, after [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]]; {{adv|Crystal}}, counterpart to {{ga|Kris}}, after {{game|Crystal}}; {{adv|Platinum}}, counterpart to {{ga|Dawn}}, after {{game|Platinum}}). However, with the release of the {{chap|Black & White}}, {{adv|White|a new female character}} sharing the name of a second version was introduced.
* Sapphire is {{ga|May}}'s only counterpart who is not a [[Pokémon Coordinator]].
* Sapphire is the only rival whose starter's type is disadvantaged against that of her own rival (her Torchic vs {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Mudkip}}). However, unlike other rivals in Adventures, which were all based on in-game rivals, Sapphire's game basis is also a player character.
* Sapphire is 5'2" (158&nbsp;cm) tall and weighs 99&nbsp;lbs (45&nbsp;kg).
* Until {{adv|Platinum}} defeated [[Volkner]], Sapphire was the only character to successfully earn every gym badge in her native region. {{adv|Red}} challenged Gyms as well; however, although Red defeated every Gym Leader in [[Kanto]], he didn't earn every badge. {{adv|Silver}}, who also owns eight badges, simply stole every Gym Badge from Johto instead of winning them in gym battles.
* While Sapphire has not been shown with an upgraded [[Pokédex]], [[PokéSPedia]] reveals she does in fact have one.
* Sapphire's birthday is September 20th.
* In the French version of the manga Sapphire's surname is not Birch (French translation: Bouleau) but Seko.
** A sapphire is the birthstone for those born in September.
 
* Sapphire's bloodtype is O.
==Names==
* All of Sapphire's Pokémon mirror her gender, with the exception of Toro & Minun. The same goes for Ruby (with the exception of having also owned a {{p|Celebi|genderless Pokémon}}), with only his [[Zuzu|starter]] and {{p|Plusle|electric rodent}} the same gender as him.
{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{sapphire color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{sapphire color}}"
*Although Sapphire possesses [[Sapphire (Adventures)#Dono|one Pokémon]] that originates from another region, all of Sapphire's Pokémon can be received or found in the wild in [[Hoenn]], unlike Ruby and {{adv|Emerald}}.
|-
* Even though in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire|s}} there was no [[version-exclusive]] look for {{ga|May}}, artwork of Sapphire shows a blue variation of her attire.
! Language
* Sapphire is one of three Pokédex holders to have a known last name; the other two are {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Platinum}}.
