Sapphire was born in [[Littleroot Town]], [[Hoenn]]. As a child, she enjoyed girly things and was friends with Ruby. The two enjoyed playing with one another, until one day a {{p|Salamence}} attacked them. Acting quickly, {{adv|Ruby}} was able to knock it out with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Terrified by the whole experience, Sapphire began crying, and later came to believe that she ruined Ruby's dignity, and vowed to become stronger to make up for it.

Sapphire was introduced when she saved {{adv|Ruby}} from two wild {{p|Mightyena}}. She was, at first, mistaken by Ruby as a wild animal because she wore leaves and started attacking him. This hostility escalated when she learned the two had contrasting goals. Soon, they agreed to settle their rivalry with an 80-day pact, in which Sapphire would conquer all eight Gyms in [[Hoenn]] while Ruby did the same for all Contests. She fainted shortly after that.

She fainted shortly after that.


In [[Petalburg City]], Sapphire rescued [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} in a fountain, and chased after the SSS of Team Aqua. After that, she defeated [[Roxanne]] at the [[Rustboro Gym]]. After traveling to [[Dewford Island]] on Lorry and training in the [[Granite Cave]], she defeated [[Brawly]], before travelling with Ruby to the Abandoned Ship, where they met up with {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} and [[Tabitha]] of [[Team Magma]].

Soon, Ruby finally decided to join the battle and, with the help of Sapphire and her {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, went to the Seafloor Cavern. At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. Wallace drove Ruby in his air car to Sapphire's location. He then explained to everyone that Relicanth could take him and Sapphire to the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. They then dived under the sea together, their goal to defeat Maxie and Archie.

At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against Maxie and Archie, gaining the edge by taking advantage of their selfish mindsets. However, the two leaders became fully taken over by the power of the orbs they held, and dragged their foes to [[Sootopolis City]], where the two titans were having their tremendous battle. Ruby and Sapphire, seeing the overwhelming power the two monsters held before them, lose all hope and tell their mentors to abscond. Winona and [[Wallace]], however, managed to snap them out of it, and after the two young [[Pokédex holder]]s reminisce of their forgotten past, are able to drive the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s out of the insane leaders' bodies using the {{key|III|Meteorite}} that deactivated [[Mt. Chimney]] earlier.

In the ensuing explosion, the two were blown away, and soon were then taken to Mirage Island, where they, under the leadership of Wallace's master [[Juan]], trained and learned that they had absorbed the Blue and Red Orbs, during which [[Rono]] evolved to an {{p|Aggron}}. After they complete their training and learn to control the orbs to their will, Sapphire receives the {{Badge|Mind}} and {{Badge|Rain}}s.

After Emerald was able to awaken the older Pokédex holders from their petrification, Sapphire used Chic's newly learned {{m|Blast Burn}} attack to destroy the sea beast. After the battle was over, Sapphire participated in a tournament between all ten Pokédex holders, which she, at some point, lost.

Though it initially struggles, the combined attack successfully destroys the meteoroid chunk. When Rayquaza begins to go wild, Sapphire uses the Green Orb core to peer into Rayquaza's mind, revealing that it needs more power in order to destroy the meteoroid. This, coupled with pictures taken from the Sky Pillar, makes Ruby realize that Rayquaza needs to Mega Evolve in order to destroy the meteoroid. They are soon discovered by Zinnia, who is angered that they managed to befriend Rayquaza and ride on top of it. Now wearing two Mega Anklets, Zinnia challenges Sapphire and Ruby to a battle.

Sapphire and Ruby team up and face Zinnia in a Double Battle. Initially, Zinnia appears to only be using one Pokémon, only for her to reveal a {{p|Noivern}} that originally belonged to Aster, a deceased Draconid. Rayquaza, sensing lingering remnants of Aster on Noivern, is lured into following after it, causing Ruby to fall off. Zinnia takes this opportunity to attack Ruby by setting him on fire. Sapphire, worried for Ruby's safety, regains the use of her voice to call out in concern and then leaps off to rescue him. With Rayquaza gone, Sapphire has Troppy transport her and Ruby through the air.

Emerald suggests that the three plans to stop the meteoroid should stop fighting one another and instead work together. The group is approached by {{adv|Giovanni}}, Red, Green, [[Blaise]], and Amber, who all reveal that despite not being in battle, Mega Evolution is still able to be activated, which suggests that the meteoroid may be a Pokémon from space. Later, the group has various allies from around Hoenn travel to Sootopolis to lend their assistance in stopping the meteoroid. As everyone prepares, Ruby introduces Sapphire to the [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Elder]] of the [[Meteor Village]]. The Elder compliments Ruby and Sapphire for their Gardevoir and Gallade duo and offers to give them the Mega Stones, only for Sapphire to slap her in embarrassment. When Zinnia passes out from the pain of being attacked by Rayquaza, Ruby begins to wonder who should take over the role of stopping the meteoroid. As he begins to walk away, Sapphire confronts Ruby and asks if he's up to something wrong once again.

Before Ruby can explain himself, the conversation is interrupted by the arrival of more allies. When Sapphire sees Ruby talking to [[Lisia]], she gets angry and leaves in a huff. Ruby attempts to explain what is really going on, only for Sapphire to attack him by Mega Evolving Kirly, forcing Ruby to Mega Evolve Rara to defend himself. Ruby stops the scuffle to explain that he called Lisia over so that she may bring him a pair of Contest outfits for him and Sapphire to wear together. Ruby apologizes one more time and explains that he wishes to stop the meteoroid together despite his initial fears of wanting to not put Sapphire in danger. After hearing this confession, Sapphire faints from shock.

Later, Sapphire and Ruby talk to a recuperating Zinnia and tell her that they intend on taking over her duty as Lorekeeper to stop Grand Meteor Delta without sacrificing themselves. Although reluctant, Zinnia accepts their choice and apologizes for her earlier actions. Sometime later, Emerald and the Trick Master inform Sapphire and Ruby that the {{key|VI|Aqua Suit|Aqua}} and {{key|VI|Magma Suit}}s are ready, only to find the two wearing their Contest Costumes.
 
As their outfits are not capable of keeping them alive in space, Sapphire and Ruby wear the Magma and Aqua Suits over their Contest Costumes. They are also given multiple Key Stones that belonged to Aster and Zinnia while Sapphire is given Emerald's Green Orb core. Once they are ready, Rayquaza swoops down, grabs Sapphire and Ruby, and takes them up into space. Upon coming face to face with Grand Meteor Delta, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolve Rayquaza and command it use Dragon Ascent. The attack, along with the combined forces of allies from Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto, successfully destroys Grand Meteor Delta by shattering it into pieces. However, out from the meteoroid's wreckage emerges a Delta Shield, which opens to reveal a {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 1|Deoxys}}, that proceeds to attack the three. After a tough battle, Sapphire and Ruby have Rayquaza strike Deoxys's core, shattering it and knocking Doexys unconscious, causing it to begin floating to the depths of space. Afterward, Rayquaza grabs Sapphire and Ruby and takes them back down to Earth to reunite with their friends.

Later, after the crisis had ended, Sapphire performs in a {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}} with Ruby.

Past

Sapphire as a child with Nana

Sapphire was born in Littleroot Town, Hoenn. As a child, she enjoyed girly things and was friends with Ruby. The two enjoyed playing with one another, until one day a Salamence attacked them. Acting quickly, Ruby was able to knock it out with his Pokémon. Terrified by the whole experience, Sapphire began crying, and later came to believe that she ruined Ruby's dignity, and vowed to become stronger to make up for it.

Ruby & Sapphire arc

Sapphire's original outfit

Sapphire was introduced when she saved Ruby from two wild Mightyena. She was, at first, mistaken by Ruby as a wild animal because she wore leaves and started attacking him. This hostility escalated when she learned the two had contrasting goals. Soon, they agreed to settle their rivalry with an 80-day pact, in which Sapphire would conquer all eight Hoenn League Badges while Ruby would collect all twenty Hoenn Contest Ribbons. She fainted shortly after that.

In Petalburg City, Sapphire rescued Mr. Stone's Castform in a fountain, and chased after the SSS of Team Aqua. After that, she defeated Roxanne at the Rustboro Gym. After traveling to Dewford Island on Lorry and training in the Granite Cave, she defeated Brawly, before travelling with Ruby to the Abandoned Ship, where they met up with Courtney and Tabitha of Team Magma.

After parting ways with the boy in Slateport City, Sapphire stumbled upon New Mauville, where she helped Wattson and the Trick Master settle the underground city's generators. Sapphire then headed to Mt. Chimney, where she teamed up with Flannery to stop Team Aqua from killing the volcano. However, they failed to do so, and Sapphire went to Fortree City on Troppy, her Tropius.

Once there, Sapphire became Winona's disciple after losing to her in a Gym battle. Soon, an emergency meeting of the Gym Leaders brought Ruby, who had become Wallace's student, to Fortree. Unfortunately, the two had a fall out after Sapphire learned that Ruby had been hiding his true strength from her and the boy showed little care about Hoenn's fate. As the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon brought havoc to Hoenn, Sapphire went with Winona to fight, and learned, in the process, about the Seafloor Cavern.

Soon, Ruby finally decided to join the battle and, with the help of Sapphire and her Relly, went to the Seafloor Cavern. At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against Maxie and Archie. Wallace drove Ruby in his air car to Sapphire's location. He then explained to everyone that Relicanth could take him and Sapphire to the Seafloor Cavern. They then dived under the sea together, their goal to defeat Maxie and Archie.

At the bottom of the sea, the young pair squared off against Maxie and Archie, gaining the edge by taking advantage of their selfish mindsets. However, the two leaders became fully taken over by the power of the orbs they held, and dragged their foes to Sootopolis City, where the two titans were having their tremendous battle. Ruby and Sapphire, seeing the overwhelming power the two monsters held before them, lose all hope and tell their mentors to abscond. Winona and Wallace, however, managed to snap them out of it, and after the two young Pokédex holders reminisce of their forgotten past, are able to drive the Red and Blue Orbs out of the insane leaders' bodies using the Meteorite that deactivated Mt. Chimney earlier.

In the ensuing explosion, the two were blown away, and soon were then taken to Mirage Island, where they, under the leadership of Wallace's master Juan, trained and learned that they had absorbed the Blue and Red Orbs, during which Rono evolved to an Aggron. After they complete their training and learn to control the orbs to their will, Sapphire receives the Mind Badge and Rain Badges.

Just before leaving Mirage Island. Sapphire told a shocked Ruby that she liked him. Before Ruby could respond, they had to leave and he didn't get to tell her that he felt the same way until they reached Sootopolis City, where he pushed Sapphire away in order to protect her. Ruby then left with Marge in order to fight against Maxie, Archie and the Ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre.

Soon, Sapphire escaped the air car and came to the battlefield, where the two rivals charged up Plusle and Minun and finally defeated Archie and Maxie. Ruby then used Celebi to restore peace.

The next day was the eightieth day of the bet and Sapphire had succeed in her goal of getting all of the Badges in Hoenn. She then ran off into the sunset with Ruby to Littleroot Town, where a party was awaiting for both of their birthdays.

Emerald arc

Almost a year after the last chapter, Sapphire and Ruby, are sent to the Battle Frontier by Professor Birch to help out fellow Pokédex Holder Emerald in his quest to find and protect Jirachi from Guile Hideout. They first met up with Emerald at the Battle Dome, but it soon became clear that he resented them. In order to get to know Emerald, the two entered the Battle Dome tournament. Sapphire fought against Tucker in the semi-finals, but later lost to him. She and Ruby were kicked out of the Battle Dome by Emerald.

Outside, the two ran into Palace Maven Spenser, who recognized her as a person who had held the Blue Orb. Ruby found this odd and recorded this encounter with the power of the Memory Lighter that he had been given from Marge. After Guile Hideout captured Jirachi, Ruby and Sapphire teamed up with Noland and Emerald and challenged the Battle Tower as a four-man team.

On the top floor, the team found Anabel brainwashed and under the control of Guile Hideout. With the use of Latios and Latias shared sight ability, Spenser informed the trio of Pokédex holders that Guile had touched the Blue Orb, forcing Guile to reveal his true identity as Archie. After Archie summoned the Great Sea Beast to flood the Battle Frontier, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were joined by Crystal and Gold, who revealed that Ruby and Sapphire needed Jirachi to revive their senior Pokédex holders Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Silver, who had all been petrified by a beam that was meant for Deoxys at the end of the FireRed & LeafGreen arc.

After Emerald was able to awaken the older Pokédex holders from their petrification, Sapphire used Chic's newly learned Blast Burn attack to destroy the sea beast. After the battle was over, Sapphire participated in a tournament between all ten Pokédex holders, which she, at some point, lost.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Sapphire is indirectly mentioned by Byron when her record of clearing 8 Gyms within 80 days in Hoenn is compared with Platinum's impressive result.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

Sapphire in the thirteenth chapter

In the thirteenth chapter, Sapphire, along with Ruby and Emerald, is enlisted by Steven to learn Mega Evolution in order to prevent a disaster that will strike Hoenn. She and Emerald train with Ultima at Dewford Town on the ultimate moves in order to prepare them for their Mega Evolutions. Whilst on a break, Sapphire complains that Ruby has not yet arrived to train with them. Emerald quells Sapphire's worries by pointing that Ruby invited her to see the Litleonid meteor shower after their training had finished. Later, Sapphire and Emerald manage to successfully Mega Evolve Chic and Sceptile into Mega Blaziken and Mega Sceptile. Unable to wait for Ruby to return, Mr. Stone decides to use the energy produced from the Mega Evolution to power a machine to prevent the disaster.

They travel to Sea Mauville, an abandoned energy harvesting plant owned by Devon's former rival company. There, Sapphire meets up with Plusle and Minun again. The next day, Mr. Stone, introduces Sapphire and Emerald to the Absorber, a machine capable of draining the energy from Chic and Sceptile to power the dimensional shifter needed to stop the disaster. The Absorber drains Chic and Sceptile's life energy, causing intense pain to them and horrifying their Trainers. Despite the experience, the energy drain is successful and the dimensional shifter is fully charged. They are interrupted by the arrival of Zinnia and a group of Team Magma and Aqua Grunts who have come to stop Devon's goal. Zinnia attacks to try and take the dimensional shifter, but Sapphire manages to get it away from her.

During the commotion, Zinnia reveals to Sapphire that the disaster approaching Hoenn is actually a giant meteoroid that threatens to destroy the planet. The news angers Sapphire, who gets angry at Emerald for lying to her this whole time. She attempts to raise her voice, only for it to not come out at all. While Sapphire is distracted, Zinnia grabs her again. Sapphire escapes with the shifter again, but Zinnia manages to take her Mega Bracelet. Emerald steps in and tells Sapphire to get the shifter to safety, but a Hoopa swoops in and transports Sapphire away in its ring when Emerald isn't looking. Sapphire eventually lands in another location, but is unable to tell where she arrived at. After hearing the voice of Professor Cozmo and his assistants, Sapphire realizes she landed inside a rocket at Mossdeep City. Although annoyed at Ruby lying to her, Sapphire decides to contribute by exiting the rocket and handing over the dimensional shifter to Professor Cozmo.

She stays at Mossdeep to protect Professor Cozmo in case any attackers come by to stop the rocket's launch. When Steven and Mr. Stone are informed of the dimensional shifter arriving at its destination, they head over there, where they meet up with Sapphire again. Sapphire tells Steven that she senses Zinnia's presence and proceeds to go off to find her. Using Berry juice as camouflage, Sapphire finds Zinnia watching Mossdeep from afar atop a mangrove and attacks. As the two battle, Zinnia is assisted by her allies, Neo Teams Magma and Aqua, which include new generations of Tabitha, Courtney, Shelly, and Matt. As the rocket is launched, Zinnia rushes in to stop it and leaves Sapphire to battle the Admins. Sapphire easily evades the admins' attacks and follows Zinnia onto the rocket, where they battle once again. Eventually, Sapphire is defeated and knocked off of the rocket, allowing Zinnia to destroy the shifter and knock the rocket into the ocean.

Sapphire ends up falling towards the waters of Route 120. Her crash-landing is witnessed by Wally and Aarune, who fish Sapphire out of the water and take her to Wally's Secret Base to recuperate. After she wakes up, Aarune introduces himself and reveals he healed Troppy at a Pokémon Center after it protected Sapphire from Zinnia's finishing blow. By using Hoopa's rings, Emerald manages to locate Sapphire, but the meeting is cut short when Hoopa accidentally causes Rayquaza to burst through the Secret Base with Ruby in its hands. After Ruby calms Rayquaza down, he is shocked to find that Sapphire has appeared in front of him.

When Ruby apologizes for lying, Sapphire tells him to never lie again and asks what she can to help. As a chunk of the meteoroid falls down from the sky, Ruby asks Sapphire to take his hand and join him in stopping the meteoroid together. Sapphire agrees to help Ruby, but jumps onto Rayquaza instead of taking Ruby's hand. Shortly afterward, Maxie and Archie burst through Wally's Secret Base while riding on top of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Although Sapphire is shocked to see the two villains' return, she, Ruby, Maxie, and Archie all combine the powers of Rayquaza, Primal Groudon, and Primal Kyogre into a single attack.

Though it initially struggles, the combined attack successfully destroys the meteoroid chunk. When Rayquaza begins to go wild, Sapphire uses the Green Orb core to peer into Rayquaza's mind, revealing that it needs more power in order to destroy the meteoroid. This, coupled with pictures taken from the Sky Pillar, makes Ruby realize that Rayquaza needs to Mega Evolve in order to destroy the meteoroid. They are soon discovered by Zinnia, who is angered that they managed to befriend Rayquaza and ride on top of it. Now wearing two Mega Anklets, Zinnia challenges Sapphire and Ruby to a battle.

Sapphire and Ruby in their Contest Costumes

Sapphire and Ruby team up and face Zinnia in a Double Battle. Initially, Zinnia appears to only be using one Pokémon, only for her to reveal a Noivern that originally belonged to Aster, a deceased Draconid. Rayquaza, sensing lingering remnants of Aster on Noivern, is lured into following after it, causing Ruby to fall off. Zinnia takes this opportunity to attack Ruby by setting him on fire. Sapphire, worried for Ruby's safety, regains the use of her voice to call out in concern and then leaps off to rescue him. With Rayquaza gone, Sapphire has Troppy transport her and Ruby through the air.

Shortly afterward, Sapphire and Ruby meet up with Emerald, who reveals that Zinnia attempted to get Rayquaza to team up with her, but was rejected and sent flying towards the ocean. They head down to Sootopolis City, where Zinnia was taken to after being rescued by Latios. There, they meet with Steven and Mr. Stone again. Mr. Stone attempts to apologize to Zinnia for the trouble he caused in attempting to control Rayquaza. Zinnia rejects Mr. Stone's apology and claims that he is only trying to save face for his failures. Now brought to tears, Zinnia gives up and claims that her villagers were right to believe she wasn't strong enough to save the planet in Aster's stead. This angers Emerald, who claims that they shouldn't give up and there must still be something they can do to save the planet.

Emerald suggests that the three plans to stop the meteoroid should stop fighting one another and instead work together. The group is approached by Giovanni, Red, Green, Blaise, and Amber, who all reveal that despite not being in battle, Mega Evolution is still able to be activated, which suggests that the meteoroid may be a Pokémon from space. Later, the group has various allies from around Hoenn travel to Sootopolis to lend their assistance in stopping the meteoroid. As everyone prepares, Ruby introduces Sapphire to the Elder of the Meteor Village. The Elder compliments Ruby and Sapphire for their Gardevoir and Gallade duo and offers to give them the Mega Stones, only for Sapphire to slap her in embarrassment. When Zinnia passes out from the pain of being attacked by Rayquaza, Ruby begins to wonder who should take over the role of stopping the meteoroid. As he begins to walk away, Sapphire confronts Ruby and asks if he's up to something wrong once again.

Before Ruby can explain himself, the conversation is interrupted by the arrival of more allies. When Sapphire sees Ruby talking to Lisia, she gets angry and leaves in a huff. Ruby attempts to explain what is really going on, only for Sapphire to attack him by Mega Evolving Kirly, forcing Ruby to Mega Evolve Rara to defend himself. Ruby stops the scuffle to explain that he called Lisia over so that she may bring him a pair of Contest Costumes for him and Sapphire to wear together. Ruby apologizes one more time and explains that he wishes to stop the meteoroid together despite his initial fears of wanting to not put Sapphire in danger. After hearing this confession, Sapphire faints from shock.

Later, Sapphire and Ruby talk to a recuperating Zinnia and tell her that they intend on taking over her duty as Lorekeeper to stop Grand Meteor Delta without sacrificing themselves. Although reluctant, Zinnia accepts their choice and apologizes for her earlier actions. Sometime later, Emerald and the Trick Master inform Sapphire and Ruby that the Aqua and Magma Suits are ready, only to find the two wearing their Contest Costumes.

As their outfits are not capable of keeping them alive in space, Sapphire and Ruby wear the Magma and Aqua Suits over their Contest Costumes. They are also given multiple Key Stones that belonged to Aster and Zinnia while Sapphire is given Emerald's Green Orb core. Once they are ready, Rayquaza swoops down, grabs Sapphire and Ruby, and takes them up into space. Upon coming face to face with Grand Meteor Delta, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolve Rayquaza and command it use Dragon Ascent. The attack, along with the combined forces of allies from Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto, successfully destroys Grand Meteor Delta by shattering it into pieces. However, out from the meteoroid's wreckage emerges a Delta Shield, which opens to reveal a Deoxys, that proceeds to attack the three. After a tough battle, Sapphire and Ruby have Rayquaza strike Deoxys's core, shattering it and knocking Doexys unconscious, causing it to begin floating to the depths of space. Afterward, Rayquaza grabs Sapphire and Ruby and takes them back down to Earth to reunite with their friends.

Later, after the crisis had ended, Sapphire performs in a Pokémon Contest Spectacular with Ruby.
