==History==
===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Rui close shot.png|thumb|left|200px|Rui about to notice a Shadow Pokémon in Colosseum]]
Prior to the opening of Pokémon Colosseum, Rui was on her way to visit her grandfather, [[Eagun]], in [[Agate Village]]. Passing through [[Pyrite Town]]'s Duel Square, she noticed a strange, black aura surrounding a Pokémon that was later identified as a [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Once the [[Cipher Peon]]s who owned the Shadow Pokémon realized that she could recognize and identify the altered Pokémon, they kidnapped her on the orders of [[Ein]] to prevent her from revealing [[Cipher]]'s plans.


== History ==
After dragging her across the [[Orre]] desert to [[Phenac City]], the thugs are eventually thwarted by the efforts of [[Wes]] and his {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}. Grateful for the rescue, Rui has Wes help her talk to [[Mayor Es Cade]] about her kidnapping. Soon after this, Wes is confronted by three [[Team Snagem]] members, where Rui learns about Wes' past connection to them, as well as the existence of the [[Snag Machine]] Wes stole from them. After Wes drives them away, she tells Wes how she doesn't mind his past because she is grateful for how he rescued her. She then tells Wes that the Snag Machine has given her an idea. Shortly after obtaining [[Poké Ball]]s and encountering their first Shadow Pokémon together, Rui tells Wes her idea for him to use the Snag Machine to take back these Pokémon, which introduces the [[snagging]] mechanic of the game. After this, Rui is determined to help Wes get to the bottom of the conspiracy developing in the desert, and she follows behind Wes throughout the rest of the game.

Once the [[Cipher]] thugs who owned the Shadow Pokémon realized that she could recognize and identify the altered Pokémon, they kidnapped her on the orders of [[Ein]] to prevent her from revealing the criminal organization's or better said [[Cipher]]'s plans.
Rui supports Wes in his quest to defeat [[Cipher]] and Team Snagem by identifying Shadow Pokémon for Wes. Although Shadow Pokémon are usually indistinguishable from the regular kind to normal people, Rui is able to sense the black aura surrounding them (although the reason as to why she is able to see this aura is never explained). Using this ability, Rui is able to identify Shadow Pokémon so that Wes can [[snagging|snag]], and eventually [[purification|purify]], them.

It is unclear where exactly Rui is from. It is known she was on her way to visit her grandparents in [[Agate Village]], suggesting that she is not exactly from said village. None of the other towns in [[Orre]] seem to be home to her, so it's possible that Rui is not a native of Orre in the first place, that her home is in some Orre town that is never seen, or that the game designers just thought it was unimportant. After the events of {{g|Colosseum}}, it is assumed that Rui returned to her home, regardless of where it might be.

:''"I'm <partner> and this is <player>. We're glad to see you!"

The extent of Rui's abilities are never detailed or specified. Possible origins for her powers are never brought up, nor is it known if Rui has the potential for other powers besides identifying [[Shadow Pokémon]]. At face value, though, Rui's powers are at least somewhat similar to the empathic [[Pokémon]] telepathy that {{adv|Yellow}} possesses in the {{g|Adventures}} manga.

Rui doesn't appear to own any {{g|}} of her own, or at least they are never seen or mentioned. This is quite odd, since she obviously is extremely fond of Pokémon, and her grandfather was such a fantastic {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It is possible that she left hers at home, or simply was unable to acquire any of her own in Orre, where [[wild Pokémon]] are rare to non-existent.

Often throughout the game, other characters will refer to Rui and [[Wes]] as a couple. Interestingly enough, this is not an assumption that Rui tries to dispute, suggesting that Rui at least may feel more than friendship for Wes. The belief that Wes and Rui are romantically involved is known in the fandom as [[ColosseumShipping]].

History

Pokémon Colosseum

Rui about to notice a Shadow Pokémon in Colosseum

Prior to the opening of Pokémon Colosseum, Rui was on her way to visit her grandfather, Eagun, in Agate Village. Passing through Pyrite Town's Duel Square, she noticed a strange, black aura surrounding a Pokémon that was later identified as a Shadow Pokémon. Once the Cipher Peons who owned the Shadow Pokémon realized that she could recognize and identify the altered Pokémon, they kidnapped her on the orders of Ein to prevent her from revealing Cipher's plans.

After dragging her across the Orre desert to Phenac City, the thugs are eventually thwarted by the efforts of Wes and his Umbreon and Espeon. Grateful for the rescue, Rui has Wes help her talk to Mayor Es Cade about her kidnapping. Soon after this, Wes is confronted by three Team Snagem members, where Rui learns about Wes' past connection to them, as well as the existence of the Snag Machine Wes stole from them. After Wes drives them away, she tells Wes how she doesn't mind his past because she is grateful for how he rescued her. She then tells Wes that the Snag Machine has given her an idea. Shortly after obtaining Poké Balls and encountering their first Shadow Pokémon together, Rui tells Wes her idea for him to use the Snag Machine to take back these Pokémon, which introduces the snagging mechanic of the game. After this, Rui is determined to help Wes get to the bottom of the conspiracy developing in the desert, and she follows behind Wes throughout the rest of the game.

Rui supports Wes in his quest to defeat Cipher and Team Snagem by identifying Shadow Pokémon for Wes. Although Shadow Pokémon are usually indistinguishable from the regular kind to normal people, Rui is able to sense the black aura surrounding them (although the reason as to why she is able to see this aura is never explained). Using this ability, Rui is able to identify Shadow Pokémon so that Wes can snag, and eventually purify, them.

Pokémon XD

In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, which takes place five years after Colosseum, Rui is mentioned several times by the people of Orre. However, she is not actually seen, nor is she mentioned by name.
