Mr. Briney (Japanese: ハギ老人 Old Man Hagi) is a skilled sailor who appears in many forms of the media. He has a Wingull named Peeko.

In the games

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Mr. Briney is first seen near Rusturf Tunnel, while in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he is first seen in front of his cottage by the sea on Route 104 before next being seen by Rusturf Tunnel.

Outside of Rusturf Tunnel, he will ask the player to recover his Wingull, Peeko, from a Team Magma GruntROR/Team Aqua GruntSEAS who has kidnapped it. Once Peeko is rescued and returned to Mr. Briney, he will offer to ferry the player in his boat among Petalburg City and Dewford Town, as well as Slateport City (but only after the Letter to Steven is delivered) until they gain the Balance Badge from their father, after which he promptly disappears from all three areas. After the player earns the Mind Badge, Mr. Briney makes a visit to Stern's Shipyard.

During the post-game, it is revealed that he has become the captain of the S.S. Tidal.

He is an old friend of Mr. Stone as they, along with another man, used to travel the world together in their youth.

Character

Even though Mr. Briney retired from being a sailor, he was shown to still have the skills as one as he told May his stories about it. He was very caring towards Peeko as she was usually there with him.

History

Mr. Briney appeared in two episodes of the Pokémon anime.

He first appeared in On a Wingull and a Prayer! fishing off the pier. May spotted him doing so and asked him for a way to get to Dewford Town since Ash and his friends were lost. Peeko flies down to him and Mr. Briney revealed to her that the only person Peeko likes is him. This changed when May brought out Pokémon food. Mr. Briney explained to May about his time as a sailor, only for May to not understand it. Later, Mr. Briney arrived at his house and got confronted by a member of Team Aqua, the same one responsible for stealing from the Devon Corporation the episode before. The grunt captured Peeko in a cage and wanted the boat that Mr. Briney owned. With no other choice, the two of them were about to go on board but the group's interference prevented them from doing so. Despite the group's arrival, the grunt still got on board with Peeko. Luckily, Mr. Briney still had another boat and used it to get his Wingull back. Mr. Briney was able to retrieve Peeko and as a way of thanking the group, gave them a ride to Dewford Town on his boat.

In Sharpedo Attack!, Mr. Briney was still taking the group to Dewford Town. On the way, they take a break on an unnamed island that isn't on any map. While there, a group of Sharpedo arrived. Mr. Briney rescued May and Max from them with the help of Peeko. The group were able to bypass them and got on the island. The leader Sharpedo arrived when Ash got its attention and Mr. Briney trapped it in a wooden fence. Sharpedo became sick and Brock helped Sharpedo recover. At the end of the episode, Mr. Briney and the group left the island and arrived in Dewford Town. He dropped them off there and waved his farewells to them.

In Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!, Cilan mentions that he is heading to Johto to compete in the Old Rod Fishing Rally that is being hosted by Mr. Briney.

Mr. Briney in Pokémon Adventures

Mr. Briney made his first appearance in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He is first seen rescuing Ruby from drowning after an earthquake caused him to fall offshore into the ocean. Mr. Briney reveals to Ruby that he dreams of capturing a Relicanth so that he could explore deeper parts of the ocean. Although Ruby found Relicanth's appearance unpleasant, Mr. Briney showed him a picture of a Milotic to convince the boy that not all fish Pokémon were ugly.

As they travel, Mr. Briney accidentally fishes up a wild Crawdaunt. Mr. Briney attempt to battle Crawdaunt with Peeko, but they were unable to break through its tough shell and were knocked out. When he awoke, Mr. Briney found the Crawdaunt already defeated. Mr. Briney could tell that Ruby was the one who defeated Crawdaunt, but the boy denied the claim. After arriving at Dewford Town, Mr. Briney let Ruby off and set out to continue his search for Relicanth.

At the end of the fourth chapter, Mr. Briney is revealed to have become captain of the S.S. Tidal.

In the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, Mr. Briney is called by his old friend, Ultima, after she obtained the Old Sea Map that would allow Briney to find Faraway Island. Despite this, Briney informs Ultima that he managed to reach Faraway Island on his own. Mr. Briney reveals that also saw the Mythical Pokémon, Mew, but it flew away from him and his crew to the Kanto region.

In the Emerald arc, Mr. Briney is seen transporting the five petrified forms of Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver to the Battle Frontier.

In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, Mr. Briney is revealed to be old friends with Mr. Stone and Drake. He assists Mr. Stone and Steven by providing them with sea transportation to help prevent a giant meteoroid from crashing into the Hoenn region. He takes Steven, Mr. Stone, Sapphire, Emerald, Drake, and Ultima to Sea Mauville, where they can use a special machine known as the Absorber to power a dimensional shifter that will help stop the meteoroid.

The next day, Mr. Stone and Steven use the Absorber on Sapphire's Chic and Emerald's Sceptile. The process drains the life energy of the two Pokémon and transfers it into the dimensional shifter, but also causes intense pain to Chic and Sceptile. The scene of watching the two Pokémon in pain horrifies everyone. After the dimensional shifter is filled with energy, the area is attacked by Zinnia and her small army of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts in order to destroy the shifter. Mr. Briney helps fend off Zinnia and her allies long enough for Ruby to arrive and stop the fighting. After Ruby convinces Zinnia to leave, he asks Drake to take him to a place where he can get information on the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza. Drake agrees and has Mr. Briney take everyone to Meteor Falls.

During the trip, Hoopa is tricked into summoning Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places. The two super-ancient Pokémon make their way to Maxie and Archie, who use the restored Red and Blue Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their Primal forms. To test Kyogre's new power, Archie has Kyogre create a giant whirlpool to sink the S.S. Tidal into the sea. After escaping and making their way to shore, Drake, Ultima, and Briney are saved by the Draconids and taken to Meteor Village to recuperate.

Mr. Briney appears in We've Found Team Magma's Secret!! of the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga.

In that chapter, he dressed up his Wingull, Peeko, before Red came by. During Red's visit, he asked Mr. Briney about the apparently stuffed bird and Mr. Briney revealed it to him as Peeko. Mr. Briney told them that he takes Peeko everywhere he goes, including the rooms in his house. Later, Mr. Briney informed the group that Peeko had a crush on someone, later revealed to be Clefairy. In time, Team Magma came by and demand Mr. Briney's Peeko. Peeko refused to go with them and attached herself to Clefairy. Peeko's attachment to Clefairy made Mr. Briney sad. When Peeko went racing around with Clefairy, Mr. Briney went after her and tried to protect her from Team Magma. A can fell off of a balloon Clefairy rode on and Mr. Briney read a letter that was attached to the can, learning that Peeko liked Mr. Briney more than Clefairy and wanted to stay with him. Mr. Briney was quite amused.
