'''Courtney''' (Japanese: '''カガリ''' ''Kagari'') is one of the {{tc|Magma Admin|Admin}}s of [[Team Magma]].


==In the games==
==In the games==
Courtney is a Team Magma Admin in the [[Generation III]] games, as well as their remakes, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.


In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, the {{player}} confronts Courtney twice: the first time she raids the [[Weather Institute]] to steal a {{p|Castform}}, and later she assists Maxie at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. {{tc|Aqua Admin}} [[Shelly]] fulfills Courtney's role in Sapphire and Emerald.
Courtney plays a key role in the main story in {{g|Ruby}} and its remake {{g|Omega Ruby}} as an Admin to the main villainous team, [[Team Magma]]. Her appearances in the corresponding games {{g|Sapphire}} and {{g|Alpha Sapphire}} are limited to minor appearances, as [[Team Aqua]] are the main villains of these games.


In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, Courtney makes only one cameo at Seafloor Cavern, alongside [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. She does not have an active role in the storyline and cannot be battled or talked to.
In {{g|Ruby}} Courtney is first encountered at the [[Weather Institute]] attempting to steal {{p|Castform|the weather Pokémon}}. She later boards the [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]] descending towards the [[Seafloor Cavern]] in order to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. She is battled by the {{player}} before [[Magma Leader]] [[Maxie]]. In {{g|Sapphire}}, [[Aqua Admin]] [[Shelly]] fulfils the same role.  


In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby]], Courtney sends a recon team, including [[Zinnia]], to investigate and steal the [[List of key items in Generation VI#Devon Parts|Devon Parts]] for Team Magma; upon failing, they warn her about the player. She eventually discovers the location of the [[Colored orbs|Red Orb]] and informs Maxie, causing the latter to cancel the operation at [[Mt. Chimney]]. Courtney is next seen at [[Southern Island]], trying to steal {{p|Latios}} and the [[Mega Stone#Latiosite|Latiosite]] for Team Magma, but is stopped by the player and [[Steven Stone]], summoned by {{p|Latias}} to help. She later accompanies Maxie to Mt. Pyre, where they retrieve the Red Orb; when the player arrives and tries to stop them, Maxie has Courtney battle him/her while he departs to steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] at [[Slateport City]]. When the player invades [[Team Magma Hideout]], Courtney once again battles him/her in order to buy time for Maxie to leave for [[Seafloor Cavern]] unobstructedly. She later watches on as the {{a|Desolate Land}} dispels upon {{p|Groudon}}'s defeat or capture.
Due to the nature of {{g|Emerald}} combining the stories of {{g|Ruby}} and {{g|Sapphire}}, Courtney does not appear at all, as her role in Ruby is taken by  Shelly, and she is not battled at the [[Team Magma Hideout|new Team Magma Hideout]].

She later watches on as the {{a|Desolate Land|harsh sunlight}} dispels upon {{p|Groudon}}'s defeat or capture.
 
In the [[Delta Episode]], Courtney plots to fulfil Maxie's crushed dream and takes matters into her own hands. She is encountered in [[Petalburg City]] harassing [[Wally]], in the search for her own [[Key Stone]]. Wally insists that he does not have his Key Stone any more, as it was recently stolen by [[Zinnia]]. She then battles the {{player}} in an attempt to steal their Key Stone, and after the battle leaves for [[Meteor Falls]]. It is there whereupon she obtains her own Key Stone and with it launches an attack of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. She and a [[Team Magma Grunt]] battle in a tag battle with [[Steven Stone]] and the player, during which she shows her ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Camerupt}}. After being stopped, Zinnia appears and Zinnia's {{p|Whismur}} steals Courtney's Key Stone.

Courtney (Japanese: カガリ Kagari) is one of the Admins of Team Magma.

In the games

Courtney plays a key role in the main story in Pokémon Ruby and its remake Pokémon Omega Ruby as an Admin to the main villainous team, Team Magma. Her appearances in the corresponding games Pokémon Sapphire and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are limited to minor appearances, as Team Aqua are the main villains of these games.

In Pokémon Ruby Courtney is first encountered at the Weather Institute attempting to steal the weather Pokémon. She later boards the submarine descending towards the Seafloor Cavern in order to awaken Groudon. She is battled by the player before Magma Leader Maxie. In Pokémon Sapphire, Aqua Admin Shelly fulfils the same role.

Due to the nature of Pokémon Emerald combining the stories of Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, Courtney does not appear at all, as her role in Ruby is taken by Shelly, and she is not battled at the new Team Magma Hideout.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Courtney sends a recon team, including Zinnia, to investigate and steal the Devon Parts for Team Magma; upon failing, the recon team warns her about the player. She eventually discovers the location of the Red Orb and informs Maxie, causing the him to cancel the operation at Mt. Chimney. Courtney is next seen at Southern Island, trying to steal Latios and the Latiosite for Team Magma, but is stopped by the player and Steven Stone, summoned by Latias to help. She later accompanies Maxie to Mt. Pyre, where they retrieve the Red Orb. When the player arrives and tries to stop them, Maxie has Courtney battle him/her while he departs to steal the Submarine Explorer 1 at Slateport City. When the player invades the Team Magma Hideout, Courtney once again battles him/her in order to buy time for Maxie to leave for Seafloor Cavern unobstructed. She later watches on as the harsh sunlight dispels upon Groudon's defeat or capture.

In the Delta Episode, Courtney plots to fulfil Maxie's crushed dream and takes matters into her own hands. She is encountered in Petalburg City harassing Wally, in the search for her own Key Stone. Wally insists that he does not have his Key Stone any more, as it was recently stolen by Zinnia. She then battles the player in an attempt to steal their Key Stone, and after the battle leaves for Meteor Falls. It is there whereupon she obtains her own Key Stone and with it launches an attack of the Mossdeep Space Center. She and a Team Magma Grunt battle in a tag battle with Steven Stone and the player, during which she shows her ability to Mega Evolve her Camerupt. After being stopped, Zinnia appears and Zinnia's Whismur steals Courtney's Key Stone.

In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Aqua Admin Matt fulfils Courtney's roles.

In these games, Courtney is shown to be a rather bizarre character. She is most notable for her bizarre speech patterns, which often involves pauses between words and often speaks in a way that sounds robotic. She appears to be emotionless several times, but she looks up to Maxie. Her role in Pokémon Omega Ruby is fulfilled in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire by Aqua Admin Matt.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Courtney, known as Marge in the Chuang Yi translation, is one of the Three Fires—Admins of Team Magma—along with Tabitha and Blaise. Like all of the Three Fires, Courtney has a special lighter that can transmit and record images by burning them on paper. In addition to her lighter, her gloves usually contain mixture of certain Berry juices that carries different properties, including spicy (volume 16), cohesive (volume 18) and corrosive (volume 20). Courtney's specialty is direct Fire-type attacks.

Courtney inviting Ruby to join Team Magma

She first appears in Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II, when Ruby and Sapphire were traveling along Route 107 and encountered Courtney and Tabitha. The two Magma Admins were trying to steal a deep sea scanner from the wreckage of the Abandoned Ship. In Going to Eleven with Loudred & Exploud II, Courtney attacked Rusturf Tunnel, looking for the Red Orb. She encountered Ruby again there, and offered the boy a position on Team Magma. Ruby refused and was able to defeat Courtney, leaving her badly burned. Later, when the Three Fires took off with three Gym Leaders to face off in battle, Courtney's opponent was Roxanne.

Courtney's normal life

In It All Ends Now I, when Ruby went alone to defeat Groudon and Kyogre with the Red and Blue Orbs, Courtney joins forces with him. After saving him from both Groudon and Kyogre, she was snatched into the Cave of Origin by Archie's Tentacruel. She managed to pass him her lighter with her bubblegum and a mixture of Berry juice. On the lighter was information about Ruby's own father Norman, and an admission that she had wanted to be friends with Ruby ever since they met at Rusturf Tunnel. It is revealed through a flashback that when she was younger, Courtney was friends with Daisy Oak and participated in Pokémon Contests.

Courtney was killed when the Cave of Origin collapsed on her but was later brought back to life by Celebi. She is last seen cultivating Berries as she did when she was younger.

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, she is seen in a flashback of Ruby's after he and Emerald were informed by Steven about the upcoming disaster about to strike Hoenn. There, Ruby decides that the the two of them should look at Courtney's memories in her Memory Lighter that she had given to him. While looking through them they both discover that Zinnia had infiltrated Team Magma and was the one who had given them information regarding Groudon.
