'''Coral''' (Japanese: '''サンゴ''' ''Sango''<ref>Explorers Original Acrylic Stand</ref>) is one of the admins of the [[Explorers]], and a major antagonist in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

===History===
Coral first appeared as a hologram in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', silhouetted with two other Admins, [[Onyx]] and [[Agate]].
[[File:Coral.png|250px|left|thumb|Coral]]
Coral first appeared as a hologram in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', alongside the other [[Explorers]]'s admins. The first time she spoke and was seen clearly was in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', taunting [[Spinel]] about his last failure.


In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It!]]'', she appeared again as a hologram, this time not silhouetted and along with some of her fellow admins, talked to [[Spinel]] after his failure in having [[Liko]]'s pendant taken away from him.
She made her physical debut in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. At [[Hamber]]'s request, Coral and [[Sidian]] accompanied him to the [[Galar]] [[region]]. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], after tracking down [[Amethio]]'s location, the group arrived at the [[old castle]] where [[Diana]] was living at. Despite Hamber ordering them to stay on standby while he secured their target, Coral and Sidian invaded the location and cornered [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], only to be stopped by the sudden arrival of [[Captain Pikachu]]. Once Cap took out Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}}, Coral snapped and recklessly ordered her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to escape and leaving the old castle in ruins.


She made her physical debut in [[HZ024]], where [[Hamber]] requested that Coral and Onyx accompany him to the [[Old castle‎]] in the [[Galar]] region. They planned to meet with [[Amethio]], [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] and assist with pursuing a {{an|Terapagos|mysterious Pokémon}} that emerged from Liko's pendant. Shortly [[HZ025|after arriving]], Coral ignored Hamber's orders to stay behind and attacked [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], only to be stopped by [[Captain Pikachu]]. Once Cap took out Onyx's {{p|Garganacl}}, Coral snapped and ordered her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, giving [[Friede]] the opportunity to take Liko and Roy to safety. After the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] fled the area, Coral was scolded by Onyx for her reckless behavior.
In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Coral and the other admins joined in a meeting to discuss the Explorers' next objective. Eventually, they decided to go after the [[Black Rayquaza]].


In [[HZ027]], Coral appeared with Agate and Onyx waiting to meet to discuss the Explorers' next goals. While she waited, Coral seemed very impatient and this angered Onyx, who blamed her for the failed mission in Galar. During the meeting, Coral was teasing Amethio about what happened in the previous mission and together with the other members of the Explorers they decided that they would follow in Black {{p|Rayquaza}}'s footsteps.
In ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', Coral and Sidian arrived in a seaside town in [[Paldea]]. Coral had led him there under the guise of finding something important, which was actually some rare Wiglett sweet buns. However, upon finding out they had sold out and that Liko and Roy had managed to get a box without even lining up, she left them a challenge letter on the back of [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. While Coral faced Roy, Sidian stepped in to take Liko on. Despite the rough start, the young Rising Volt Tacklers refused to give up and eventually broke through their foes' strategies. Impressed, the two Explorers decided to stop holding back, but were forced to withdraw after Sidian received a call to take part in mission involving the Black Rayquaza.
[[File:Coral Naranja Academy.png|250px|left|thumb|Coral as Sandwich]]
In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] summoned the Black Rayquaza near [[Levincia]] by using a machine that generated an energy similar to that {{an|Terapagos}} emitted [[HZ033|previously]] and had their Pokémon battle against the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}. They started strong, unleashing powerful super effective moves, but lost control over Rayquaza once [[Dot]] managed to shut down the machine. Once again, Coral let her temper overcome her better judgment and commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. The resulting explosion was powerful enough to blast the [[Legendary Pokémon]] directly into the hull of the [[Brave Olivine]].


==Character==
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the Explorers were forced to retreat after realizing their attacks failed to any lasting damage to Rayquaza. Later, Coral and the other admins were gathered to have a meeting with [[Gibeon]]. The admins were ordered to allow the Rising Volt Tacklers to keep gathering the [[Six Heroes]] and restore Terapagos's power, as this would benefit the Explorers' plans as well. Gibeon also told them to monitor Liko and Terapagos.
Coral appears to have a mostly cheery and playful personality, she also has a teasing side as well since she often likes to disrespectfully poke fun at and ridicule other people easily, such as her fellow admins Spinel and Onyx. Coral is along with Onyx, known as "the troublemakers", being less disciplined and more aggressive than their fellow admins. Coral in particular appears to have a very volatile mood that can become extremely violent in an instant, which was seen during the siege on Diana's castle, where she commanded her Glalie into using Self-Destruct under a fit of rage, against Onyx's own protests that it was reckless.


==Pokémon==
In [[HZ046]], Coral, along with Sidian, enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Terastal Training]]. Sidian introduced Coral to [[Clavell]] under the name (Japanese: '''サンドイッチ''' ''Sandwich''), much to her amusement.
 
In [[HZ047]], Coral was sent to [[Cortondo]] as part of course training. Having heard of Patisserie Soapberry's pastries, Coral was excited to try some. Much to her disdain, upon arriving, she discovered that the shop was out of stock for the day and angrily demanded some. [[Katy]] arrived and when she explained to her and Liko that she only had time for one of them, Coral impulsively demanded a match with Liko. Katy then pointed out that the students are not allowed to use {{Tera}}stallization against each other and suggested a bake-off. In the ensuing bake-off, Coral, being impatient and not knowing how to bake, made a mess and lost the competition. In anger, she had Glalie use {{m|Blizzard}} on the bakery. This caused Katy to glare and address her in a tone intimidating enough for Coral to storm out of the shop.
[[File:Coral and Kofu.png|250px|thumb|Coral and Kofu at the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]]]]
In [[HZ050]], Coral and Sidian were spying on Liko and Roy when they were approached by Clavell, so he thought the two were only interested in Liko and her group's battles. Clavell suggested them to go together to watch the battle at the [[Gym]]. Soon after, Coral decided to leave Clavell talking alone and went behind a food stall.
 
Prior to [[HZ055]], Coral managed to succeed in a new exam, this time against [[Kofu]]. When the Terastal Training students returned, Coral was tasked with battling [[Larry]] alongside Kofu. During the battle, Coral caused all the Pokémon to be knocked out, including her Glalie, using Self-Destruct, thus being defeated in the battle. After being reprimanded for the way she acted, she left the arena in anger.
[[File:Onigiri and Sandwich.png|left|250px|thumb|Coral and Sidian]]
In [[HZ057]], Coral and Sidian were seen with the other students during Clavell's speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, her Gym challenge was not revealed.
 
In [[HZ064]], Coral and Sidian surrounded Roy and Dot on Spinel's orders, abandoning their student disguise. In [[HZ065|the next episode]], Coral and Sidian battled against Roy and Dot to stall them, but before Coral's Glalie could finish off their opponents, they were interrupted by [[Grusha]]'s arrival, so Chalce commanded the two admins to retreat. At their base the Explorers Admins gathered to ask Amethio if he had betrayed the Explorers by helping out Liko in escaping from a cave after seeing the footage recorded by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} and why he did not catch Terapagos when he had the chance. Before Amethio could give a proper explanation, Gibeon arrived and expelled his grandson from the Explorers for helping their enemies.
[[File:Coral Tera Orb.png|250px|thumb|Coral's [[Tera Orb]]]]
In [[HZ066]], while Chalce hacked Naranja Academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos, Coral and Sidian were ordered to prevent anyone from interfering with the mission. Coral later encountered Roy, who had been made aware of the sabotage and went to confront the Explorers. After being lured outside of the academy's hallways, Coral faced Roy in a battle, only to end up defeated. Sidian then arrived and forced Coral to retreat with him, much to her anger. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], dejected over her defeat, Coral was seen enjoying a sandwich with her Glalie alongside Sidian, who had a rice ball.
 
===Character===
[[File:Coral temper.png|250px|left|thumb|Coral's temper]]
Coral appears to have a mostly cheery and playful personality, but likes to disrespectfully poke fun at her allies whenever they fail a mission. Along with [[Sidian]], Coral is considered a troublemaker due to her lack of discipline and reckless behavior in comparison to her fellow admins. Coral appears to have a volatile mood, as she quickly became furious when [[Captain Pikachu]] interrupted the [[Explorers]]' siege on the [[ancient castle]] and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to {{m|Self-Destruct}} despite Sidian's protests. As seen in ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'', she is easily distracted, as she was shown focusing on her [[Rotom Phone]] during her battle with [[Roy]]. She also appears to place great importance on the value of collectible items, a behavior seen when she became angry over [[Liko]] opening a box of Wiglett sweet buns, ruining its pristine condition.
[[File:Liko and Coral rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Coral and Liko's rivalry]]
Coral is also quite childish and vain, occasionally referring to herself in the third-person and openly expressing how cute she is. In the Japanese version, she often uses the prefix '''鬼''' ''oni'' to emphasize her words. She's also quite the loudmouth, openly talking about the Explorers' plans in front of others, even their enemies, as she talked about the organization's intention to summon the [[Black Rayquaza]] in front of Liko and Roy. She also prioritizes dealing with her grudges more than the organization's plans as she refused to leave the battle with Liko and Roy at first, being dragged away by force by Sidian and his {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Ultimately, Coral's temperamental nature and grudges has often caused consequences for herself, such as getting disqualified by [[Katy]] for recklessly destroying the cake and attacking Liko in [[HZ047]]. Keeping in line with her hot-headed nature Coral is also very impatient, to the point of wanting the end battles quickly rather than stall opponents for time as seen in [[HZ065]]. As seen in [[HZ066]] Coral is shown to be a sore loser, as seen when she reacted with anger and frustration after losing to Roy and his Fuecoco in battle.
 
After the battle at [[Naranja Academy]] in [[HZ067]], Coral began to show a lighter side, reflecting on her time as a student at the institution and sharing her food with Glalie.

History

Coral

Coral first appeared as a hologram in The Ancient Poké Ball, alongside the other Explorers's admins. The first time she spoke and was seen clearly was in Quaxly, We Can Do It, taunting Spinel about his last failure.

She made her physical debut in Reunion at the Ancient Castle!. At Hamber's request, Coral and Sidian accompanied him to the Galar region. In the next episode, after tracking down Amethio's location, the group arrived at the old castle where Diana was living at. Despite Hamber ordering them to stay on standby while he secured their target, Coral and Sidian invaded the location and cornered Liko and Roy, only to be stopped by the sudden arrival of Captain Pikachu. Once Cap took out Sidian's Garganacl, Coral snapped and recklessly ordered her Glalie to use Self-Destruct, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to escape and leaving the old castle in ruins.

In As Long as I'm with My Friends, Coral and the other admins joined in a meeting to discuss the Explorers' next objective. Eventually, they decided to go after the Black Rayquaza.

In A Challenge from the Explorers, Coral and Sidian arrived in a seaside town in Paldea. Coral had led him there under the guise of finding something important, which was actually some rare Wiglett sweet buns. However, upon finding out they had sold out and that Liko and Roy had managed to get a box without even lining up, she left them a challenge letter on the back of Roy's Fuecoco. While Coral faced Roy, Sidian stepped in to take Liko on. Despite the rough start, the young Rising Volt Tacklers refused to give up and eventually broke through their foes' strategies. Impressed, the two Explorers decided to stop holding back, but were forced to withdraw after Sidian received a call to take part in mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

Coral as Sandwich

In The Plan to Capture Rayquaza, Coral, Sidian, and Chalce summoned the Black Rayquaza near Levincia by using a machine that generated an energy similar to that Terapagos emitted previously and had their Pokémon battle against the Sky High Pokémon. They started strong, unleashing powerful super effective moves, but lost control over Rayquaza once Dot managed to shut down the machine. Once again, Coral let her temper overcome her better judgment and commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which collided with Rayquaza's Dragon Pulse. The resulting explosion was powerful enough to blast the Legendary Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In From So Far Away, the Explorers were forced to retreat after realizing their attacks failed to any lasting damage to Rayquaza. Later, Coral and the other admins were gathered to have a meeting with Gibeon. The admins were ordered to allow the Rising Volt Tacklers to keep gathering the Six Heroes and restore Terapagos's power, as this would benefit the Explorers' plans as well. Gibeon also told them to monitor Liko and Terapagos.

In HZ046, Coral, along with Sidian, enrolled in Naranja Academy as part of the Terastal Training. Sidian introduced Coral to Clavell under the name (Japanese: サンドイッチ Sandwich), much to her amusement.

In HZ047, Coral was sent to Cortondo as part of course training. Having heard of Patisserie Soapberry's pastries, Coral was excited to try some. Much to her disdain, upon arriving, she discovered that the shop was out of stock for the day and angrily demanded some. Katy arrived and when she explained to her and Liko that she only had time for one of them, Coral impulsively demanded a match with Liko. Katy then pointed out that the students are not allowed to use Terastallization against each other and suggested a bake-off. In the ensuing bake-off, Coral, being impatient and not knowing how to bake, made a mess and lost the competition. In anger, she had Glalie use Blizzard on the bakery. This caused Katy to glare and address her in a tone intimidating enough for Coral to storm out of the shop.

Coral and Kofu at the Elite Four Tag Battle

In HZ050, Coral and Sidian were spying on Liko and Roy when they were approached by Clavell, so he thought the two were only interested in Liko and her group's battles. Clavell suggested them to go together to watch the battle at the Gym. Soon after, Coral decided to leave Clavell talking alone and went behind a food stall.

Prior to HZ055, Coral managed to succeed in a new exam, this time against Kofu. When the Terastal Training students returned, Coral was tasked with battling Larry alongside Kofu. During the battle, Coral caused all the Pokémon to be knocked out, including her Glalie, using Self-Destruct, thus being defeated in the battle. After being reprimanded for the way she acted, she left the arena in anger.

Coral and Sidian

In HZ057, Coral and Sidian were seen with the other students during Clavell's speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, her Gym challenge was not revealed.

In HZ064, Coral and Sidian surrounded Roy and Dot on Spinel's orders, abandoning their student disguise. In the next episode, Coral and Sidian battled against Roy and Dot to stall them, but before Coral's Glalie could finish off their opponents, they were interrupted by Grusha's arrival, so Chalce commanded the two admins to retreat. At their base the Explorers Admins gathered to ask Amethio if he had betrayed the Explorers by helping out Liko in escaping from a cave after seeing the footage recorded by Spinel's Beheeyem and why he did not catch Terapagos when he had the chance. Before Amethio could give a proper explanation, Gibeon arrived and expelled his grandson from the Explorers for helping their enemies.

Coral's Tera Orb

In HZ066, while Chalce hacked Naranja Academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos, Coral and Sidian were ordered to prevent anyone from interfering with the mission. Coral later encountered Roy, who had been made aware of the sabotage and went to confront the Explorers. After being lured outside of the academy's hallways, Coral faced Roy in a battle, only to end up defeated. Sidian then arrived and forced Coral to retreat with him, much to her anger. In the following episode, dejected over her defeat, Coral was seen enjoying a sandwich with her Glalie alongside Sidian, who had a rice ball.

Character

Coral's temper

Coral appears to have a mostly cheery and playful personality, but likes to disrespectfully poke fun at her allies whenever they fail a mission. Along with Sidian, Coral is considered a troublemaker due to her lack of discipline and reckless behavior in comparison to her fellow admins. Coral appears to have a volatile mood, as she quickly became furious when Captain Pikachu interrupted the Explorers' siege on the ancient castle and commanded her Glalie to Self-Destruct despite Sidian's protests. As seen in A Challenge from the Explorers, she is easily distracted, as she was shown focusing on her Rotom Phone during her battle with Roy. She also appears to place great importance on the value of collectible items, a behavior seen when she became angry over Liko opening a box of Wiglett sweet buns, ruining its pristine condition.

Coral and Liko's rivalry

Coral is also quite childish and vain, occasionally referring to herself in the third-person and openly expressing how cute she is. In the Japanese version, she often uses the prefix 鬼 oni to emphasize her words. She's also quite the loudmouth, openly talking about the Explorers' plans in front of others, even their enemies, as she talked about the organization's intention to summon the Black Rayquaza in front of Liko and Roy. She also prioritizes dealing with her grudges more than the organization's plans as she refused to leave the battle with Liko and Roy at first, being dragged away by force by Sidian and his Aerodactyl. Ultimately, Coral's temperamental nature and grudges has often caused consequences for herself, such as getting disqualified by Katy for recklessly destroying the cake and attacking Liko in HZ047. Keeping in line with her hot-headed nature Coral is also very impatient, to the point of wanting the end battles quickly rather than stall opponents for time as seen in HZ065. As seen in HZ066 Coral is shown to be a sore loser, as seen when she reacted with anger and frustration after losing to Roy and his Fuecoco in battle.

After the battle at Naranja Academy in HZ067, Coral began to show a lighter side, reflecting on her time as a student at the institution and sharing her food with Glalie.

Glalie is Coral's only known Pokémon as well as her main partner. In addition to using it in battle, Coral uses Glalie as her transportation method.

In Rivals in the Dark of Night!, it was sent to battle Liko and Roy alongside Sidian's Garganacl at the ancient castle. Once Captain Pikachu arrived to aid the young Rising Volt Tacklers, however, Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which abruptly ended the match.

In A Challenge from the Explorers, it was used to battle against Roy's Fuecoco, though the battle was cut short due to new developments on the Explorers's plan to summon the Black Rayquaza, whom Glalie faced off alongside Sidian's Garganacl and Chalce's Medicham in the next episode.

In HZ055, Glalie was used by Coral in a Tag Battle alongside Kofu and his Wugtrio against Larry's Flamigo and Oricorio. However, Coral caused all the Pokémon to be knocked out, Glalie itself included, by ordering it to use Self-Destruct, thus resulting in her and Kofu's defeat.

In HZ064, Glalie was sent out alongside Sidian's Garganacl to confront Roy and Dot to stall them from rescuing Liko. In the next episode, Glalie and Garganacl teamed up yet again against Roy's Fuecoco and Dot's Quaxwell. The battle remained firmly on Coral and Sidian's side up until Grusha interfered to protect Roy and Dot from the Explorers duo.

In HZ066, Glalie was used to battle against Roy's Fuecoco, but it was defeated by his Flamethrower. After being knocked out, Sidian forced Coral to retreat, so Glalie was recalled.

Glalie's known moves are Blizzard, Self-Destruct, Crunch, and Ice Spinner.
