==========
The first Courtney debuted in the . She is one of the Three Fires of Team Magma, alongside Tabitha and Blaise. Like other members of Team Magma, the horns on Courtney's hood can be removed to reveal a special lighter that can transmit and record images through its flame. Courtney also wears gloves that gain specific abilities through combining the juices of Berries. With a Tamato Berry, it can temporarily blind the target if the burning juices comes in contact with their eyes; with a and Kelpsy Berry, it creates a sticky adhesive that prevents the held target from escaping; with a and Hondew Berry mixed with the acid of a , it becomes a corrosive that can melt through walls and flesh easily. Like the other Three Fires, Courtney specializes in using flames to her advantage. In her case, she uses fire to burn her opponents to ash.
She first appears alongside Tabitha on the Abandoned Ship, where they were sent to obtain the Scanner hidden aboard. There, they meet and , both of which attempt to keep the Scanner out of Courtney and Tabitha's hands. In the end, Ruby and Sapphire escape, but Courtney and Tabitha manage to obtain the Scanner. The Scanner is later given to Blaise, who modifies it to search for the Red and Blue Orbs. At Slateport City, Courtney, Tabitha, and Blaise are sent to capture Captain Stern and his assistant, Dock in order to obtain the Submarine Explorer 1. In the end, Blaise manages to obtain the submarine for Team Magma's use.
At Rusturf Tunnel, Courtney leads several Team Magma Grunts in helping raise the energy level of the land by creating earthquake's to stimulate the earth's crust as well as looking for the Red Orb. When she notices Ruby is there, Courtney leaves the Grunts behind to forcibly take Ruby further inside the tunnel. With no one around, Courtney forces Ruby to battle her since no one can see him fight. During the fight, Courtney attempts to convince Ruby to join Team Magma since she shares his love of beauty. Ruby refuses the offer and manages to trap Courtney in a sea of fire as he escapes to safety. Courtney survives the flames, but decides to hand over the search for the Red Orb over to Blaise. She then decides to take a leave of absence from Team Magma due to gaining an interest in Ruby.
When and are awakened, Courtney is called by her teammates to return to action. When the Gym Leaders split into groups in an attempt to stop both Pokémon, the Admins of Teams Magma and Aqua split up to stop them. Courtney is paired up against Roxanne, who has stopped Groudon from moving with her 's . After dragging Roxanne to an abandoned Lilycove City to battle, the two face each other in Cove Lily Motel.

She reveals to Ruby that she only joined Team Magma for her own amusement and that the events of Groudon and Kyogre's awakening has spiraled out of Team Magma and Aqua's expectations. Courtney offers to help stop the two super-ancient Pokémon by using one of the two Orbs used to control Groudon and Kyogre. Once Ruby and Sapphire had set off of Mirage Island to fight Groudon and Kyogre, Sapphire is locked inside an aircar by Ruby, who gives Courtney the Blue Orb. The two use the Orbs to try and control Groudon and Kyogre, but due to the lack of training needed to control the Orbs, Courtney is unable to use it to its full potential. During the battle, Courtney is grabbed by a tentacle and knocked to the ground. Just before she is dragged away, Courtney gives Ruby a message that his father, Norman, will be coming with to help stop the fight. The tentacle drags Courtney into the collapsing Cave of Origin, which crushes her to death.
Once Archie and Maxie were defeated, Ruby used his to revive all the people that were killed in the final battle. Courtney is brought back to life thanks to Celebi's time travel abilities. Afterward, Courtney leaves to pursue a normal life and begins cultivating Berries.
