Sird: Difference between revisions

Sird (Japanese: サキ Saki) was one of The Three Beasts of Team Rocket in the the Pokémon Special manga as part of the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen storyline. She fought and defeated Lorelei on Seven Island. Later, she fell from Team Rocket's helicopter after it was taken over by Carr, but she (unlike Orm) survived. She later tried to catch Deoxys by disabling it with an energy beam, but was foiled when Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Silver used their bodies to block the beam from Deoxys, who escaped. However, to their surprise, the 5 Pokédex holders bodies were turned to stone as a result. Sird then succumbed to her injuries and was killed by Lorelei.

Trivia

• Due to Coronis's translation of the mangas, she is also popularly known as Storc in the fan community, as Coronis is fond of inventing Western names for manga-only characters who lack dub names.
• Her appearance seems to be based on artwork from a card from the TCG, Rocket's Admin.
• There is some dipute over whether or not Sird is actually female, despite her/his apperance, Sird is only ever referred to once with a gender pronoun in the Chung Yi translations, and that was as a "he". However, in the original, Sird is indeed female.
