Blaise: Difference between revisions

Blaise debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He and the other Three Fires of Team Magma, {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} and [[Tabitha]], are sent to steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. Upon arriving at [[Slateport City]], the trio find [[Captain Stern]] and [[Dock]] being forced into making Pokéblocks alongside {{adv|Ruby}} and the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]]. Having no choice, they decide to attack the Contest Hall and kidnap all four people at once. They take the four to [[Stern's Shipyard]], where Ruby and the Chairman are locked into a closet while Courtney and Tabitha investigate the area. Blaise attempts to force Stern to tell him everything about the submarine and even tortures Dock by burning his feet with his {{p|Slugma}} to force Stern to confess everything. During the commotion, Ruby's eavesdropping attempt is exposed, which leads Blaise into attacking to silence the boy. Ruby attempts to escape, but was actually leading Blaise into the submarine so he could battle him without being seen. Blaise attempts to use his illusions to break Ruby's spirit by showing Ruby his worst memory, but the memory only fuels Ruby's motivation to defeat Blaise. Ruby uses his [[Mumu]]'s {{m|Earthquake}} to rock the submarine long enough to keep Blaise from moving, allowing the two to escape in an escape pod. Although Ruby escaped, Blaise managed to get the submarine in Team Magma's hands.

After {{p|Groudon}} is awakened, Blaise finds Tabitha in the wreckage of the Submarine Explorer 1 after [[Archie]] locked him and {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}} inside and left the two for dead. He rescues Tabitha and takes him to help stop the Gym Leaders from trying to stop Groudon's advance. Once Courtney joins in, the Three Fires each find [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], and [[Wallace]] attempting to fight Groudon. Each of the Three Fires picks a single Gym Leader and drags them off to [[Lilycove City]] to fight them. Blaise picks Brawly as his opponent and takes him to [[Lilycove Museum]] to do battle. With his illusions, Blaise holds an advantage over Brawly, but is eventually defeated when Brawly uses pure power to forcefully break through the illusions. Although defeated, Blaise is content that he managed to stall his opponent long enough to let Groudon go free and disappears into the flames.

Blaise takes Amber to the current location of {{p|Hoopa}}, a Mythical Pokémon that can summon things from its hoops. They attack Hoopa and use Blaise's illusions to manipulate Hoopa into taking Groudon and Kyogre out of their locations of slumber. With the two Pokémon awakened, they begin heading towards the Red and Blue Orbs. Blaise and Amber go ahead of them to find whoever has the orbs. When they arrive, they are shocked to find that Maxie and Archie have returned and are the ones who have the orbs. Amber attempts to explain how he and Blaise summoned Groudon and Kyogre back from their places of slumber, but is stopped Blaise, who found Maxie and Archie's current appearances suspicious. Maxie and Archie use the orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their Primal forms. With their new power, Maxie and Archie blow Blaise and Amber away.

Later, Blaise and Amber awaken inside a building, where they find that their belongings and Poké Balls have been taken away. There, they meet {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}}, who also had their stuff taken. The person responsible reveals himself to be {{adv|Giovanni}}, who had taken the four aboard the Team Rocket airship, which hovers above {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. He reveals to them that he intends on helping stop the crisis threatening the world. Giovanni presents the four a video feed showing the three super-ancient Pokémon attempting to attack a chunk of the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world. Although the three successfully destroy the meteoroid chunk, it explodes into pieces that rain down on Groudon and Kyogre, knocking them out and reverting them into their base forms. Blaise and Amber exit the Team Rocket airship and head down to see if their leaders are safe, only to find their leaders' bodies are slowly disintegrating. Maxie and Archie explain how they returned from their supposed deaths, just before fading away completely while asking their subordinates to protect the planet. Heartbroken, Blaise and Amber mourn the loss of their leaders.
