'''Tabitha''' (Japanese: '''ホムラ''' ''Homura'') is one of the {{tc|Magma Admin}}s of [[Team Magma]].


==In the games==
'''Tabitha''' (Japanese: '''ホムラ''' ''Homura'') is one of the {{tc|Magma Admin|Admin}}s of [[Team Magma]].
Tabitha is a Team Magma admin in the [[Generation III]] games.
 
==In the core series games==
Tabitha plays a key role in the main story of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}} and its remake {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby}} as an Admin of the main villainous team, [[Team Magma]]. He makes only minor appearances in the corresponding games Pokémon Sapphire and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, as [[Team Aqua]] are the main villains of these games.
 
In Pokémon Ruby, Tabitha steals the [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] at [[Meteor Falls]] and brings it to [[Maxie]] at [[Mt. Chimney]]. At Mt. Chimney, the {{player}} has to battle him before battling Maxie and stopping his attempt to make the volcano erupt. Tabitha is next encountered at [[Slateport City]], assisting [[Maxie]] in stealing the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] in order to descend to [[Seafloor Cavern]]. He is later encountered again at the [[Team Magma Hideout|Magma Hideout]] outside [[Lilycove City]], battling the player to buy time for the submarine to escape.
 
In {{game|Emerald}}, Tabitha's role starts out the same way as in Ruby, with him stealing the Meteorite at Meteor Falls. However, now the second encounter with him happens at the {{OBP|Magma Hideout|Jagged Pass|new Magma Hideout}} inside Mt. Chimney, where the player must battle him in order to reach Maxie, who is in the process of awakening {{p|Groudon}}. After the player has defeated [[Tate and Liza]], Team Magma invades the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], intending to steal all of their rocket fuel and make Mt. Chimney erupt. The player teams up with {{Steven}} in a [[Multi Battle]] against Maxie and Tabitha, who will retreat after being defeated.
 
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, his appearance is dramatically revamped, similarly to [[Matt]] and [[Shelly]]. In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Tabitha is revealed to have previously worked for [[Devon Corporation]], where he was nicknamed '''Tabitabi''' (Japanese: '''ホムホム''' ''Homuhomu''), and that he helped Team Magma gain access to their research, thus assisting them in the creation of the [[Magma Suit]]. Tabitha initially performs the same role as in Pokémon Ruby; unlike in Ruby, however, he is battled by the {{player}} and {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}} in a Multi Battle at Meteor Falls. Also, after the events at Mt. Chimney, he is encountered at the [[Weather Institute]], a role that was fulfilled by [[Courtney]] in Ruby. As Maxie prepares to awaken Groudon at Seafloor Cavern, Tabitha enters the Cavern to express his concern to Maxie about the {{a|Desolate Land|weather conditions}} created by Groudon. After Groudon's awakening, Tabitha and his boss head to [[Sootopolis City]], where they will hand the player the Magma Suit.
 
During the [[Delta Episode]], Tabitha is encountered at the Team Magma Hideout when [[Zinnia]] defeats Maxie and takes his [[Key Stone]]. Tabitha then begrudgingly gives a [[Cameruptite]] to the {{player}} upon Maxie's instructions, as Maxie can no longer use it to make his Camerupt [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. After the events of the Delta Episode, Tabitha is seen observing a conversation between Maxie and Courtney at the Team Magma Hideout, with Maxie apologizing to his subordinates for his actions.


In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}} he makes only two cameos, at [[Meteor Falls]] and at [[Seafloor Cavern]], alongside [[Maxie]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]. [[Aqua Admin Matt]] fulfills the roles he has in Ruby.
In Omega Ruby, Tabitha is popular with Team Magma Grunts because of his helpfulness. Rumors suggest he aims to lead Team Magma.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160313232841/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/characters/team-magma-and-team-aqua/team-magma-admin-tabitha Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire official website]</ref>


In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, the {{player}} confronts him twice: the first time he brings to Maxie the {{key|III|Meteorite}} stolen at Meteor Falls and the player has to battle him before battling Maxie. Later he assists the [[Maxie|Magma Leader]] in stealing the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] and then he must be battled at [[Aqua Hideout|Magma Hideout]].
Tabitha's only appearance in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire happens during the player's initial visit to the [[Battle Resort]], where he and Courtney are bumped into by [[Wally]], much to their irritation.


In {{game|Emerald}} he is first met at [[Mt. Chimney]], doing the same task as in Ruby. Tabitha reappears later in the game in the [[Magma Hideout|new hideout inside the volcano]], before Maxie awakens {{p|Groudon}}. Later, he assists the Magma leader in a Tag Battle at [[Mossdeep Space Center]] against the player and {{Steven}}.
Tabitha also appears in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]], where he can be faced in a Multi Battle along with [[Matt]].

===Main series===
[[File:Tabitha.png|thumb|250px|Tabitha in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Though two Magma Admins appeared in the {{pkmn|games}}, only Tabitha appeared in the anime. His first appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'', where he led a group of {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s in an exploration of some ancient ruins on [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]] in search of the [[Cave of Origin]]. They also had a confrontation with Team Aqua. Due to a dubbing error, he was mistakenly referred to as "Field Commander '''Harlan'''" during this episode, though his name was corrected in all subsequent appearances.


'''Magma Hideout'''
In ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', Tabitha and two grunts broke into the [[Oceanic Museum]] in order to steal a rock sample owned by [[Captain Stern]]. Although {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} attempted to stop them, Team Magma successfully made off with most of the sample.
*Before battle
:''"Hehehe! You made it this far, so I'll tell you! That's right! Up ahead, Groudon is sleeping! Maxie went to Groudon just seconds ago! It's going to awaken real soon! Hehe! Hehehe!"''


*When defeated
In ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', Tabitha led a squad of grunts on a mission to [[Mt. Chimney]], first stealing a meteorite from [[Professor Cozmo]] and then using it to power an experimental machine affecting the volcano. However, their plans were ultimately thwarted by Ash and Cozmo.
:''"Taken down again... Hehe..."''


*After being defeated
His final appearances were in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. His submarine accidentally picked up Ash and his friends while out on patrol, bringing them to Team Magma's base. He was present for the battle between {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}, and, like the rest of Team Magma, has not been seen since.
:''"...And while you wasted time with me, Maxie should have awakened Groudon...''"


'''Mossdeep Space Center'''
====Character====
*When defeated
Tabitha is an intimidating individual. He and [[Shelly]] have a rivalry with one another, often exchanging insults and battling one another. His loyalty to [[Team Magma]] came into doubt after seeing the destructive power of the [[Red Orb]] in ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

They also had a confrontation with Team Aqua.

Tabitha appeared in ''[[SP23|Two Groups Attacking! Magma VS. Aqua]]'' along with the other members of Team Magma.
Tabitha, who is known as '''Mitch''' in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation, is one of the [[Three Fires]], Admins of Team Magma - along with [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney (Marge)]] and [[Mack]].
{{sectionstub}}
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], there are two Admins with the name "Tabitha".
[[File:Tabitha Adventures.png|thumb|200px|The first Tabitha in Pokémon Adventures]]
 
====First Tabitha====
The first Tabitha debuted in the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He is one of the [[Magma Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Three Fires]] of Team Magma, alongside Courtney and [[Blaise]]. Like other members of Team Magma, the horns on Tabitha's hood can be removed to reveal a special lighter that can transmit and record images through its flame. Like the other Three Fires, Tabitha specializes in using flames to his advantage. In his case, Tabitha uses the smoke from his {{p|Torkoal}} to make his targets drowsy.


Like all of the Three Fires, Tabitha has a special lighter that can transmit and record images by burning them on paper.
He first appears alongside Courtney on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where they were sent to obtain the [[Scanner]] hidden aboard. There, they meet {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, both of which attempt to keep the Scanner out of Tabitha and Courtney's hands. In the end, Ruby and Sapphire escape, but Tabitha and Courtney manage to obtain the Scanner. The Scanner is later given to Blaise, who modifies it to search for the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s. At Slateport City, Tabitha, Courtney, and Blaise are sent to capture [[Captain Stern]] and his assistant, [[Dock]] in order to obtain the Submarine Explorer 1. In the end, Blaise manages to obtain the submarine for Team Magma's use.


Tabitha's specialty is direct, using his Torkoal's smoke to hypnotize and poison.
Tabitha later appears at Mt. Chimney, which had its volcanic activity stopped by Team Aqua. There, he encounters [[Flannery]], a Gym Leader who fought Team Aqua but failed to stop their plan to kill Mt. Chimney. They teamed up to try and revive the volcano, but their attempts only brought it back for a short time. Angered at this failure, Tabitha cursed Team Aqua and returned to Team Magma's base.


{{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} were traveling along {{rt|107|Hoenn}} when they encountered Courtney and Tabitha. The two Magma Admins were trying to steal a deep sea scanner from the wreckage of the [[Abandoned Ship]].
With Team Magma possessing the Submarine Explorer 1 and Team Aqua possessing the heart component needed to keep it stable while underwater, both teams decide to have a temporary truce and head to the Seafloor Cavern together. When Team Magma and Aqua meet, they fit the Submarine Explorer 1 with its heart component and head underwater. After meeting with each other and completing the submarine, Tabitha and several Team Magma Grunts head underwater with Maxie. Upon arriving, the teams end their truce and proceed to head their separate ways. Archie manages to awaken Kyogre first, giving the advantage to Team Aqua. Despite this, Maxie uses the Red and Blue Orbs Blaise obtained from Mt. Pyre to control both super-ancient Pokémon to give Groudon an advantage over Kyogre. The strain of using both Orbs exhausts Maxie, so he hands the Blue Orb to Tabitha so he can control Kyogre.


Later, Team Aqua used the meteorite to cause Mt. Chimney to cease its activity. Sapphire and [[Flannery]] tried to prevent this but failed. Tabitha and Flannery cooperated to destroy Team Aqua's machine, but they were unable to re-start the volcano. However, this incident would later cause Flannery to side with Team Magma when the Gym Leaders of Hoenn wanted to choose sides.
Finding Kyogre's behavior suspicious, Archie sends {{adv|Amber}} to investigate Team Magma. Amber finds Tabitha with the Blue Orb and attacks him to take it for Archie. The battle leads them into the Submarine Explorer 1, but Amber succeeds in obtaining the Blue Orb. Immediately after handing it over, Archie betrays Amber and sends the submarine into the ocean depths without the heart component, leaving Tabitha and Amber to die as the submarine breaks apart. Tabitha and Amber work together to keep the submarine afloat and preventing water from flowing inside, but it eventually breaks apart, sending both into the water. After attempting to save both himself and Amber by swimming to the surface, Tabitha is rescued by Blaise.


[[File:Tabitha snaps.png|thumb|200px|left|Tabitha losing his mind]]
When the Gym Leaders split into groups in an attempt to stop both Pokémon, the Admins of Teams Magma and Aqua split up to stop them. Tabitha is paired up against [[Wallace]], who he drags to an abandoned Lilycove City to battle in Lilycove Department Store. After being easily defeated, Tabitha suddenly goes crazy and begins attacking wildly. Wallace is saved by {{Steven}}, who reveals that coming in contact with the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to lose control of himself. Steven stays behind to battle Tabitha and sends Wallace to assist in the battle against Groudon and Kyogre at Sootopolis City. Later, Steven defeats Tabitha, allowing to head to Sootopolis as well.
When [[Maxie]] attempted to control both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} through the Red and Blue Orbs (which Mack stole for him conveniently before [[Team Aqua]] made an alliance with Team Magma), he discovered that it would be too much for his mental capacities to handle. Therefore he handed the Blue Orb to Tabitha, telling him to suppress Kyogre's will of battling. However, one of the [[Subleaders of the Sea Scheme|Aqua Admins]], [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]], managed to get the orb to [[Archie]], who then abandoned the loyal minion.


[[File:Tabitha RS end.png|thumb|200px|right|Tabitha at the end of the fourth chapter]]
After Groudon and Kyogre are defeated, Tabitha returns to a normal life. He is seen visiting the Lavaridge Hot Springs, which were reopened after Groudon went to sleep in Mt. Chimney, reviving its volcanic activity.
But this event left a residue effect on Tabitha, as [[Wallace]] found out during their battle in the {{ci|Lilycove}} Department Store, which he<!--Wallace or Tabitha?--> lost horribly. Even though Tabitha had only touched the orb for a short period, Kyogre's influence still managed to slip through since he did attempt to control the sea titan, causing him to go out of his mind and rampage upon the former champion. [[Steven Stone|Steven]] managed to knock him out with his {{p|Metagross}}'s {{m|Meteor Mash}} when he attacked Wallace wildly.  


He, along with most other Team Magma and Aqua members, appears to have disappeared after the Groudon and Kyogre incident, though Flannery has spotted him in a crowd in [[Lavaridge Town]] once, ready to bathe in the revived springs.
In the Chuang Yi translations, he is known as '''Mitch'''.

|desc={{p|Torkoal}} is Tabitha's main Pokémon. It is notably used to use its smoke to hypnotize and poison anyone. He first used it to attack {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. It was about to defeat them until Ruby gives them his diary. He does this by telling them to give up the Cheering Pokémon. The diary Ruby gives them turns out to be a distraction for Team Magma so that they could get hit by Plusle and Minun's attacks. Torkoal was used again when Team Magma raided the Slateport City Contest and kidnapped Ruby and the President of the Fan Club. Later, Tabitha used it to battle [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]'s {{p|Volbeat}} after he interfered with a {{m|Tail Glow}} attack. It defeated the Volbeat by putting it to sleep.
|desc={{p|Torkoal}} is Tabitha's second known Pokémon and his main battling force. He can release various types of smoke and gas from his body, causing people to become drowsy. He was first used to battle Ruby and Sapphire on the Abandoned Ship. At the Seafloor Cavern, he attempted to protect the Blue Orb from Amber by holding the orb in his shell. Amber's {{p|Volbeat}} used {{m|Trick}} to switch the Blue Orb with a Figy Berry. When Tabitha and Amber were trapped inside the submarine, Torkoal used his smoke to keep the submarine afloat. At Lilycove Museum, he fought against Wallace's {{p|Whiscash}}, but was defeated.
 
Torkoal's known moves are {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Heat Wave}}, {{m|Smog}}, and {{m|Body Slam}}, and his Ability is {{a|White Smoke}}.}}
 
====Second Tabitha====
[[File:ORAS Magma Aqua Admins Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The second Tabitha in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, a second Tabitha appeared as a member of Neo Team Magma (Japanese: '''新生マグマ団''' ''Neo Magma Gang''). He, along with a second Courtney, took the name of his predecessor as a codename. He and the second Shelly were former researchers for the [[Devon Corporation]], but eventually left due to being fed up with [[Mr. Stone]]'s policies.


Torkoal's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Heat Wave}} and {{m|Smog}}, and its Ability is {{a|White Smoke}}.}}
In [[PS609]], Tabitha appeared at [[Mossdeep City]] to help Zinnia interfere with the [[Devon Corporation]]'s plan to launch a rocket that would stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the world. The Admins kept Sapphire distracted long enough for Zinnia to land on the rocket. Sapphire dodged their attacks, allowing her to escape and pursue Zinnia.


In [[PS612]], the Admins were attacked by the Hoenn [[Frontier Brain]]s and defeated. The Brains attempted to interrogate the Admins on Zinnia's whereabouts, only for them to admit they had no idea where she ran off to. In [[PS616]], Tabitha and Shelly were called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in saving the planet from destruction. Tabitha provided Ruby with a [[Magma Suit]] to wear while he and Sapphire rode {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} into space to confront the meteoroid.

Tabitha (Japanese: ホムラ Homura) is one of the Admins of Team Magma.

In the core series games

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

In Pokémon Ruby, Tabitha steals the Meteorite from Professor Cozmo at Meteor Falls and brings it to Maxie at Mt. Chimney. At Mt. Chimney, the player has to battle him before battling Maxie and stopping his attempt to make the volcano erupt. Tabitha is next encountered at Slateport City, assisting Maxie in stealing the Submarine Explorer 1 in order to descend to Seafloor Cavern. He is later encountered again at the Magma Hideout outside Lilycove City, battling the player to buy time for the submarine to escape.

In Pokémon Emerald, Tabitha's role starts out the same way as in Ruby, with him stealing the Meteorite at Meteor Falls. However, now the second encounter with him happens at the new Magma Hideout inside Mt. Chimney, where the player must battle him in order to reach Maxie, who is in the process of awakening Groudon. After the player has defeated Tate and Liza, Team Magma invades the Mossdeep Space Center, intending to steal all of their rocket fuel and make Mt. Chimney erupt. The player teams up with Steven in a Multi Battle against Maxie and Tabitha, who will retreat after being defeated.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, his appearance is dramatically revamped, similarly to Matt and Shelly. In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Tabitha is revealed to have previously worked for Devon Corporation, where he was nicknamed Tabitabi (Japanese: ホムホム Homuhomu), and that he helped Team Magma gain access to their research, thus assisting them in the creation of the Magma Suit. Tabitha initially performs the same role as in Pokémon Ruby; unlike in Ruby, however, he is battled by the player and May/Brendan in a Multi Battle at Meteor Falls. Also, after the events at Mt. Chimney, he is encountered at the Weather Institute, a role that was fulfilled by Courtney in Ruby. As Maxie prepares to awaken Groudon at Seafloor Cavern, Tabitha enters the Cavern to express his concern to Maxie about the weather conditions created by Groudon. After Groudon's awakening, Tabitha and his boss head to Sootopolis City, where they will hand the player the Magma Suit.

During the Delta Episode, Tabitha is encountered at the Team Magma Hideout when Zinnia defeats Maxie and takes his Key Stone. Tabitha then begrudgingly gives a Cameruptite to the player upon Maxie's instructions, as Maxie can no longer use it to make his Camerupt Mega Evolve. After the events of the Delta Episode, Tabitha is seen observing a conversation between Maxie and Courtney at the Team Magma Hideout, with Maxie apologizing to his subordinates for his actions.

In Omega Ruby, Tabitha is popular with Team Magma Grunts because of his helpfulness. Rumors suggest he aims to lead Team Magma.[4]

Tabitha's only appearance in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire happens during the player's initial visit to the Battle Resort, where he and Courtney are bumped into by Wally, much to their irritation.

Tabitha also appears in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version, where he can be faced in a Multi Battle along with Matt.

Main series

Tabitha in the anime

Though two Magma Admins appeared in the games, only Tabitha appeared in the anime. His first appearance was in A Three Team Scheme!, where he led a group of Team Magma Grunts in an exploration of some ancient ruins on Dewford Island in search of the Cave of Origin. They also had a confrontation with Team Aqua. Due to a dubbing error, he was mistakenly referred to as "Field Commander Harlan" during this episode, though his name was corrected in all subsequent appearances.

In The Spheal of Approval, Tabitha and two grunts broke into the Oceanic Museum in order to steal a rock sample owned by Captain Stern. Although Ash and his friends attempted to stop them, Team Magma successfully made off with most of the sample.

In Fight for the Meteorite!, Tabitha led a squad of grunts on a mission to Mt. Chimney, first stealing a meteorite from Professor Cozmo and then using it to power an experimental machine affecting the volcano. However, their plans were ultimately thwarted by Ash and Cozmo.

His final appearances were in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends. His submarine accidentally picked up Ash and his friends while out on patrol, bringing them to Team Magma's base. He was present for the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, and, like the rest of Team Magma, has not been seen since.

Character

Tabitha is an intimidating individual. He and Shelly have a rivalry with one another, often exchanging insults and battling one another. His loyalty to Team Magma came into doubt after seeing the destructive power of the Red Orb in The Scuffle of Legends.

In the manga

Ash & Pikachu

Tabitha appeared in Two Groups Attacking! Magma VS. Aqua along with the other members of Team Magma.

Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, there are two Admins with the name "Tabitha".

The first Tabitha in Pokémon Adventures

First Tabitha

The first Tabitha debuted in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He is one of the Three Fires of Team Magma, alongside Courtney and Blaise. Like other members of Team Magma, the horns on Tabitha's hood can be removed to reveal a special lighter that can transmit and record images through its flame. Like the other Three Fires, Tabitha specializes in using flames to his advantage. In his case, Tabitha uses the smoke from his Torkoal to make his targets drowsy.

He first appears alongside Courtney on the Abandoned Ship, where they were sent to obtain the Scanner hidden aboard. There, they meet Ruby and Sapphire, both of which attempt to keep the Scanner out of Tabitha and Courtney's hands. In the end, Ruby and Sapphire escape, but Tabitha and Courtney manage to obtain the Scanner. The Scanner is later given to Blaise, who modifies it to search for the Red and Blue Orbs. At Slateport City, Tabitha, Courtney, and Blaise are sent to capture Captain Stern and his assistant, Dock in order to obtain the Submarine Explorer 1. In the end, Blaise manages to obtain the submarine for Team Magma's use.

Tabitha later appears at Mt. Chimney, which had its volcanic activity stopped by Team Aqua. There, he encounters Flannery, a Gym Leader who fought Team Aqua but failed to stop their plan to kill Mt. Chimney. They teamed up to try and revive the volcano, but their attempts only brought it back for a short time. Angered at this failure, Tabitha cursed Team Aqua and returned to Team Magma's base.

With Team Magma possessing the Submarine Explorer 1 and Team Aqua possessing the heart component needed to keep it stable while underwater, both teams decide to have a temporary truce and head to the Seafloor Cavern together. When Team Magma and Aqua meet, they fit the Submarine Explorer 1 with its heart component and head underwater. After meeting with each other and completing the submarine, Tabitha and several Team Magma Grunts head underwater with Maxie. Upon arriving, the teams end their truce and proceed to head their separate ways. Archie manages to awaken Kyogre first, giving the advantage to Team Aqua. Despite this, Maxie uses the Red and Blue Orbs Blaise obtained from Mt. Pyre to control both super-ancient Pokémon to give Groudon an advantage over Kyogre. The strain of using both Orbs exhausts Maxie, so he hands the Blue Orb to Tabitha so he can control Kyogre.

Finding Kyogre's behavior suspicious, Archie sends Amber to investigate Team Magma. Amber finds Tabitha with the Blue Orb and attacks him to take it for Archie. The battle leads them into the Submarine Explorer 1, but Amber succeeds in obtaining the Blue Orb. Immediately after handing it over, Archie betrays Amber and sends the submarine into the ocean depths without the heart component, leaving Tabitha and Amber to die as the submarine breaks apart. Tabitha and Amber work together to keep the submarine afloat and preventing water from flowing inside, but it eventually breaks apart, sending both into the water. After attempting to save both himself and Amber by swimming to the surface, Tabitha is rescued by Blaise.

When the Gym Leaders split into groups in an attempt to stop both Pokémon, the Admins of Teams Magma and Aqua split up to stop them. Tabitha is paired up against Wallace, who he drags to an abandoned Lilycove City to battle in Lilycove Department Store. After being easily defeated, Tabitha suddenly goes crazy and begins attacking wildly. Wallace is saved by Steven, who reveals that coming in contact with the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to lose control of himself. Steven stays behind to battle Tabitha and sends Wallace to assist in the battle against Groudon and Kyogre at Sootopolis City. Later, Steven defeats Tabitha, allowing to head to Sootopolis as well.

After Groudon and Kyogre are defeated, Tabitha returns to a normal life. He is seen visiting the Lavaridge Hot Springs, which were reopened after Groudon went to sleep in Mt. Chimney, reviving its volcanic activity.

In the Chuang Yi translations, he is known as Mitch.

Tabitha's Torkoal
Torkoal ♂
Torkoal is Tabitha's second known Pokémon and his main battling force. He can release various types of smoke and gas from his body, causing people to become drowsy. He was first used to battle Ruby and Sapphire on the Abandoned Ship. At the Seafloor Cavern, he attempted to protect the Blue Orb from Amber by holding the orb in his shell. Amber's Volbeat used Trick to switch the Blue Orb with a Figy Berry. When Tabitha and Amber were trapped inside the submarine, Torkoal used his smoke to keep the submarine afloat. At Lilycove Museum, he fought against Wallace's Whiscash, but was defeated.

Torkoal's known moves are Yawn, Heat Wave, Smog, and Body Slam, and his Ability is White Smoke.

Second Tabitha

The second Tabitha in Pokémon Adventures

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, a second Tabitha appeared as a member of Neo Team Magma (Japanese: 新生マグマ団 Neo Magma Gang). He, along with a second Courtney, took the name of his predecessor as a codename. He and the second Shelly were former researchers for the Devon Corporation, but eventually left due to being fed up with Mr. Stone's policies.

In PS609, Tabitha appeared at Mossdeep City to help Zinnia interfere with the Devon Corporation's plan to launch a rocket that would stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world. The Admins kept Sapphire distracted long enough for Zinnia to land on the rocket. Sapphire dodged their attacks, allowing her to escape and pursue Zinnia.

In PS612, the Admins were attacked by the Hoenn Frontier Brains and defeated. The Brains attempted to interrogate the Admins on Zinnia's whereabouts, only for them to admit they had no idea where she ran off to. In PS616, Tabitha and Shelly were called to Sootopolis City to assist in saving the planet from destruction. Tabitha provided Ruby with a Magma Suit to wear while he and Sapphire rode Rayquaza into space to confront the meteoroid.
