Death in the Pokémon world: Difference between revisions

Several deaths have occurred during or prior to the events of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

After two {{p|Magmar}} had set the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] on fire, {{adv|Red}} {{pkmn|battle}}d them and encased them in sand with his {{p|Sandshrew}}. He then withdrew his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, declaring that he can no longer attack the helpless Magmar. {{adv|Giovanni}} thanked Red and gave him an [[Old Amber]]. The two then said goodbye and Red went on his way. Suddenly, the two Magmar broke free and lunged at Giovanni, who then ruthlessly used his {{p|Cloyster}} to freeze the Magmar and split them in half, killing them.

It's revealed that in the past, in a snowy region, a young [[Pryce]] watched as his two {{p|Lapras}} fell to their deaths in an avalanche. Pryce then noticed a crackling sound in his pocket, which turned out to be a [[Pokémon Egg]]. The Egg hatched into a baby Lapras, which began looking for its now-deceased parents in vain. With tears in his eyes, Pryce begged the Lapras to forgive him. Pryce then decided to capture {{OBP|Celebi|Adventures}} in order to travel in time and reunite his Lapras, La Glace, with its parents in the past.

{{adv|Ruby}} and [[Courtney]] stood in front of the [[Cave of Origin]] while attempting to use the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s to stop the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. During the battle, Courtney was grabbed by a tentacle and knocked to the ground. Just before she was dragged away, Courtney sent a message to Ruby alerting him that his father, [[Norman]], was arriving with {{p|Rayquaza}} to help stop the fight. The tentacle then dragged Courtney into the collapsing Cave of Origin, which subsequently crushed her to death, to Ruby's horror. After the battle, Norman and [[Steven Stone|Steven]] suddenly become unresponsive.

Ruby is shocked to see that Steven and Norman are alive, and sees Courtney flying past the airship as well. Courtney states that she feels like she had come back from the dead, and decides to take this second chance to pursue a life of {{pkmn|Contest}}s again. Ruby realizes that he had [[Time travel|passed through a time slip]] and ended up in a slightly different future. Looking at Celebi's empty [[Poké Ball]], Ruby guesses that Celebi joined his team because it knew that all of this would happen.

When the [[Devon Corporation]] came to the [[Embedded Tower]] in hopes of capturing {{p|Rayquaza}} so that the [[Pokémon Association]] could study it, [[Aster]] fought alongside Rayquaza in order to stop them. Though the battle went unseen, Rayquaza was successfully captured and taken away along with several [[Key Stone]]s that Aster had collected. When [[Zinnia]] arrived at the tower, she found the area in flames and that Aster had died during the battle. Traumatized by Aster's death, Zinnia began to cry so much that her voice eventually gave out. She also took a partially burnt cloak belonging to Aster as a memento. With Aster dead, the title of [[Lorekeeper]] was passed down to Zinnia.

[[Sun's great-grandfather]] passed away the night before {{adv|Sun}} arrived in [[Alola]]. [[Faba]], a member of the [[Aether Foundation]], had the body be carried to a funeral home elsewhere so the island could be converted into [[Aether Paradise]]. When Sun objected to this, Faba revealed that the boy's great-grandfather received the island from a now-missing member of the Aether Foundation. With the man's passing, the Aether Foundation had chosen to take the island back. Faba halfheartedly stated that if Sun made 100 million yen, he could buy the island back.
