Corey (Japanese: ソラオ Sorao) is a minor character who appeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back. He is one of the Pokémon Trainers who were invited by Mewtwo to New Island.
History
In Mewtwo Strikes Back
Corey was one of the few Trainers who made it to New Island. He survived the storm and made the journey by flying on the back of his Pidgeot. Along with Neesha, Fergus, and Ash and his friends, Corey witnessed the revelation that Mewtwo was trying to destroy the world.
Corey tried to defeat Mewtwo's clone Venusaur using Bruteroot, his own Venusaur; however, Mewtwo's Venusaur easily defeated Bruteroot with a Vine Whip, sending it flying. He also attempted to use his Rhyhorn against Mewtwo.
