===Ruby & Sapphire arc===
====First outfit====
In the beginning of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, he wore a red and black long-sleeved jacket, black baggy trousers with yellow cuffs, blue and yellow boots, blue and yellow fingerless gloves and a white hat that had a black band with a red logo. He also wore a yellow backpack.
In a flashback, as a younger boy, he is seen to wear a similar outfit to his original RS outfit, with the jacket undone and the sleeves rolled up.
====Second outfit====
When he decided to fight Team Magma, he made himself a new outfit consisting of a short-sleeved orange and black slim fit shirt, charcoal-gray trousers that look like shorts over sweatpants, orange, green and black flat slip-on shoes, and a white hat with a mint green colored band with a white logo. The sleeve on his shirt got ripped when the red orb traveled up his arm.
===Emerald arc===

==Overview==
Ruby is the son of Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, and Sapphire Birch's childhood friend and crush. He serves as the male protagonist of the Ruby & Sapphire arc. Ruby was born in Goldenrod City in the Johto region and moved to the Hoenn region with his father after the latter failed his test for Goldenrod's Gym Leader due to an attack of the Salamence that broke into Rayquaza's containment cell and broke it free, in which Ruby managed to knock it out, but at the cost of having his forehead split open in the process.
Ruby, with Sapphire, later appears in the Emerald arc, and later in the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc.
