'''Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''サファイア''' ''Sapphire'') is a character from the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] {{pkmn|manga}} who first appeared in ''[[PMRS05|Let's Try To Be Idols!!]]''. She is based on {{ga|May}} from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and is one of {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}'s [[rival]]s.

==Character==
Despite being rivals with Red during the [[Pokémon Contest]] both of them competed in, she was shown to have some friendly advice.

==History==
Sapphire is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Hoenn]] who introduced herself to Red when he entered the building with his Pokémon. Red takes a liking to her {{p|Torchic}}. Sapphire recommends him to partake in a Pokémon Contest in which Red does. When it was Sapphire turn to perform on stage, she manages to get a perfect score and wins the competition, placing Red in second place.

|desc={{p|Torchic}} is Sapphire's [[starter Pokémon]] and a rival of [[Red's Clefairy]].

It first appeared in ''[[PM117|Strongest Rival Appears!?]]'' where Professor Birch released the Hoenn starters for Red to see. This Torchic was a bit ditzy as it landed on Clefairy's head, but fun to be with. Due to the Torchic's personality, Red decided to choose it and it became a walking Pokémon similar to Clefairy, Pikachu and Tyrogue. However, when the group headed to Hoenn, Torchic was returned to Professor Birch. Sometime before ''[[PMRS05|Let's Try To Be Idols!!]]'', Sapphire received it from him when she was beginning her [[Pokémon journey]]. When the group head to a {{pkmn|Contest}} to compete in, it was revealed to them when Sapphire chose Torchic as her Contest Pokémon. During the final round, Torchic was up against Clefairy.

None of Torchic's moves are known.}}
