## Appearances

### Debut

The Legend Begins

As of the *Broken Worlds* arc, Cori remains with the Storm Fighters, but will make an appearance at an unknown point in time

## Appearance

Cori is a male Charmeleon. He resembles a short, anthropomorphic lizard about half a foot taller than Sonic. He is a dark red all over, with a pale yellow belly and under-tail, blue eyes, and a bright yellow tail-flame with an orange outer area

He has three long, curved claws on each hand for digging and slashing in attacks, that also function as fingers, and three claws on each foot that he commonly uses to anchor himself

A long scar slices over his snout, with another one over his left eye. He wears a pair of green goggles that he uses as eye protection, and a wrist-com on his right wrist

## Personality

Cori is described as snarky and whip-smart, with a temper as hot as his fire-breath. This is true, in a way

Cori is very intelligent and snarky, being a bit of a motormouth. He loves teasing people, especially his enemies, though in a tough battle, he will shape up and become a very serious person

Cori is incredibly smart when it comes to technology. He an excellent IT person, having completely reprogrammed Metal Sonic with complete loyalty to the Storm Fighters, but he lacks skills in major inventions, his only real creation being the wrist-com used by most warriors, and the earpiece he designed for Crystal in *Broken Worlds* (story), that he plans on creating for the rest of the four-legged Pokemon warriors

While mostly work-oriented, he is friendly and laid-back, keeping up a strong friendship with his work partner Riptide and Metal Sonic(likely apart of his new programming)

## History

**Before the Series:** Cori's past is unknown, other than the fact that he met Fox at some point and decided to join the Storm Fighters

### Dawn of the Alliance

When the Storm Fighters were first formed, Cori started out as a warrior, but took an interest in technology, eventually settling as the Team's first tech expert. He began designing the first wrist-com, a design he would eventually improve upon as time went on, and replicated his perfected results to allow the rest of the Team to use them for communication

Later on, he gained a partner in the form of Splash the Greninja's elder son Riptide, who chose to remain as Frogadier. The two formed a close friendship and worked together on many of their creations together

### The Phantom War

Like the other warriors, Cori fled the Base when it was destroyed by Eggman's forces. He was later found hiding in Metropolis with a small band of warriors led by Longmire

He joined the efforts of Austin's team to defeat Eggman and Infinite, ending the Phantom War

Later, after the next battle for Angel Island, Cori found a powered-off Metal Sonic and took him to the Storming Base, where he reprogrammed him and erased all loyalty to the Eggman Empire, replacing it with loyalty to the Storm Fighters

### *Broken Worlds* (arc)

Cori has not appeared yet, but is mentioned to have created an earpiece for Crystal to wear, as being a Dusk Lycanroc, she walked on four legs and could not make use of a wrist-com like her Teammates. Cori is later mentioned to be working on creating more for the other four-legged warriors

## Abilities/Skills

Being a Fire-Type Pokemon, Cori can naturally breathe fire or smoke, depending on his mood. When irritated, he will typically release a puff of smoke from his nose, and will typically release a stream of smoke from his nose before launching a burst of fire

His current moveset is Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Dig, and Dragon Claw, and his Ability is Blaze

Cori's long, strong claws allow him to use Dig fairly quickly, as well as a vicious slash, particularly when using Dragon Claw

## Trivia

Cori is the first Pokemon in the series to be shown wearing an accessory besides a wrist-com, that being his goggles
