'''Corey''' (Japanese: '''ソラオ''' ''Sorao'') is a supporting character who appeared in a number of [[Pokémon movie]]s. He is one of the [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who were invited by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} to [[New Island]].

==History==
===In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''===
Corey was one of the few {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who made it to [[New Island]]. He survived the storm and made the journey by flying on the back of his {{p|Pidgeot}}. Along with [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}}, Corey witnessed the revelation that {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was trying to destroy the world.

Early in the night, Corey attempted have his {{p|Rhyhorn}} charge at Mewtwo, but the attack was quickly thwarted. Later, he challenged Mewtwo's cloned Venusaur using his own {{p|Venusaur}}, [[nickname]]d Bruteroot; however, Mewtwo's Venusaur easily defeated Bruteroot with a {{m|Vine Whip}}, sending it flying. Corey's Pokémon tried to defend themselves against the [[Poké Ball|Mewtwo Balls]] but were soon {{pkmn2|caught}} and later cloned.

Corey watched from the sidelines as the original and cloned Pokémon fought endlessly while Mewtwo fought {{OBP|Mew|M01}}. Ash eventually intervened and was caught in the crossfire, leading Mewtwo to have a revelation and end the challenge. As a result, Mewtwo wiped everyone's memories, including those of Corey, regarding the events on New Island, and then returned them and their Pokémon to [[Old Shore Wharf]]. Later, Corey joined [[Officer Jenny]] and the other Trainers on the pier to watch the storm miraculously clear up.

====Character====
Corey is a confident individual, and he proudly boasted about the strengths of his Pokémon when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first arrived at the [[New Island]] fortress. He takes charge of a situation and is prepared to fight back. However, Corey can be impulsive, as shown when he had his {{p|Rhyhorn}} charge at {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, and when he was the first to challenge the Genetic Pokémon's cloned Pokémon.

Corey made a cameo appearance in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline separate from the main series.

The outcome of the battle was left unknown. The battle was watched on TV by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, who thoroughly enjoyed watching the match.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n and {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}} dub of the movie, Corey was referred to as [[Gary Oak]]. The dialogues were edited so the characters knew each other, and he was also portrayed by Gary Oak's voice actor.
* In the English dub of the movie, he mistakenly refers to his {{p|Pidgeot}} as {{p|Pidgeotto}}. This is also the case in the Latin American dub.
* The method as to how Mewtwo's Venusaur beat Bruteroot was [[EP037|similar]] to how [[Duplica's Ditto]] defeated Ash's Bulbasaur.
* Corey's appearance looks similar to the {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainers}} in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Though the book adaptation usually refers to him by his correct name, he is referred to as "[[Fergus|Umio]]" when he orders Bruteroot to attack Mewtwo.
* He is the only character who got to New Island by flying.
