Blaise is a member of Team Magma, a group of villains who aim to raise the land with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Groudon}}. He is a skilled illusionist and can create visions inside his victim's head using heat and smoke produced by his {{p|Slugma}}. This ability gave him the nickname "The Shadow of Fire" (Japanese: '''火の影''').


==History==
==History==
Blaise is one of the [[Three Fires]], Admins of Team Magma, along with [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]].
[[File:Blaise ORAS chapter.png|thumb|left|200px|Blaise as a Kindler in the ORAS chapter]]
Blaise debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He and the other Three Fires of Team Magma, [[Magma Admin Courtney|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.


Like all of the Three Fires, Blaise has a special lighter that can transmit and record images by burning them on paper.
He later fixes the {{Key|III|Scanner}} that was found on the [[Abandoned Ship]]. Once finished, he uses it to track the Red and Blue Orbs on [[Mt. Pyre]]. There, he faces the twin Gym Leaders, [[Tate and Liza]], who serve as the protectors of the area. Using his illusions, Blaise keeps Tate and Liza distracted long enough for him to easily snatch the Red and Blue Orbs away.


Blaise's specialty is creating illusions with fire and heat. Usually, the heat is enough to wear his opponents down to the point where he can easily confuse and knock out their Pokémon. He is not a very good battler, and his Pokémon often lack the strength. His skills at illusion-making often makes up for his lack of strength, however.
After {{p|Groudon}} is awakened, Blaise finds Tabitha in the wreckage of the Submarine Explorer 1 after [[Archie]] locked him and [[Aqua Admin Amber|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.


Team Magma raided the [[Slateport City]] Contest House to capture [[Captain Stern]], but accidentally got {{adv|Ruby}} and the ''Pokémon Fanclub President'', too. Blaise tortured Captain Stern to get him to reveal how to complete [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. When this failed, he attacked [[Dock]] with his Slugma, forcing Stern to reveal the missing pieces of the submarine.
In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Blaise, in the garb of a {{tc|Kindler}}, finds Amber returning to the [[Team Aqua Hideout]] despite the previous defeats of Teams Aqua and Magma. Using his illusions, Blaise shows Amber images of his former Team Aqua teammates, but Amber quickly realizes the truth and attacks to dispel the illusion. Blaise then reveals himself and suggests the two team up together. Blaise explains that he had been keeping tabs on the remains of the Red and Blue Orbs after they were shattered and taken away from Hoenn by {{adv|Giovanni}}. Blaise reveals that the orbs are now on the move back to Hoenn and that he intends on taking them from whoever currently possesses the orbs so that Groudon and Kyogre can be awakened again. Amber agrees to help, but Blaise thinks to himself that he's truly after another secret Groudon and Kyogre possess: [[Primal Reversion]].


Ruby distracted Blaise by luring his {{p|Slugma}} away with [[Pokéblock]]s. The two fought inside the submarine, where Blaise's skills as an illusionist first come into play. Ruby managed to escape when his [[Mumu]] used {{m|Earthquake}}, endangering the submarine, Blaise, and himself.
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.
[[File:Blaise Mega Glasses Amber Mega Anchor Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Blaise with Maxie's Mega Glasses]]
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.


Blaise's illusions totally incapacitated [[Tate and Liza]] on Mt. Pyre for most of the Hoenn saga, while at the same time, stealing the Red and Blue Orb off Mt. Pyre. When the Firehead Trio took off with three Gym Leaders to face off in battle, Blaise's opponent was [[Brawly]]. It is unsure what happens to Blaise after the battle.
Later, Blaise, Amber, Giovanni, Red, and Green meet with the Hoenn Pokédex holders in order to assist them in stopping the meteoroid. Blaise and Amber reveal that they took their Leaders' Key Stones and their Mega-Evolving Pokémon. With Maxie's Mega Glasses, Blaise helps demonstrate that the meteoroid may be housing a Pokémon, as they can only use Mega Evolution in battle. After everyone comes up with a plan to destroy the meteoroid, people from around Hoenn are called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Blaise and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of Mega {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

Character

Blaise creating illusions to torment Ruby

Blaise is a member of Team Magma, a group of villains who aim to raise the land with the Legendary Pokémon Groudon. He is a skilled illusionist and can create visions inside his victim's head using heat and smoke produced by his Slugma. This ability gave him the nickname "The Shadow of Fire" (Japanese: 火の影).

History

Blaise as a Kindler in the ORAS chapter

Blaise debuts in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He and the other Three Fires of Team Magma, 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 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 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 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.

He later fixes the Scanner that was found on the Abandoned Ship. Once finished, he uses it to track the Red and Blue Orbs on Mt. Pyre. There, he faces the twin Gym Leaders, Tate and Liza, who serve as the protectors of the area. Using his illusions, Blaise keeps Tate and Liza distracted long enough for him to easily snatch the Red and Blue Orbs away.

After Groudon is awakened, Blaise finds Tabitha in the wreckage of the Submarine Explorer 1 after Archie locked him and 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.

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.

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, Blaise, in the garb of a Kindler, finds Amber returning to the Team Aqua Hideout despite the previous defeats of Teams Aqua and Magma. Using his illusions, Blaise shows Amber images of his former Team Aqua teammates, but Amber quickly realizes the truth and attacks to dispel the illusion. Blaise then reveals himself and suggests the two team up together. Blaise explains that he had been keeping tabs on the remains of the Red and Blue Orbs after they were shattered and taken away from Hoenn by Giovanni. Blaise reveals that the orbs are now on the move back to Hoenn and that he intends on taking them from whoever currently possesses the orbs so that Groudon and Kyogre can be awakened again. Amber agrees to help, but Blaise thinks to himself that he's truly after another secret Groudon and Kyogre possess: Primal Reversion.

Blaise takes Amber to the current location of Hoopa, a Mythical Pokémon that can summon things from its hoops.
