While the police were baffled that an upstanding person such as a gym leader would aid Team Meteor, Corey gave a cynical response about trusting authority, and assured them that there are more. After defiantly claiming the police force ultimately did nothing, he informed them that he would be at his gym and vanished.

By the time you read this, you will be strong. I was not raised to be strong. I was raised to be naive, and I suffered for it. I shall not make this same mistake with you. Reality is cruel. This, I learned the hard way. This, you have grown to learn from the second you were born.

I told you long ago how she passed. I did not mention who was responsible for it. Team Meteor sought to cleanse the city and restore it to its former heritage-- a holy site. To this end, they take no prisoners. I joined their ranks to sabotage them.
  +
  +
Specifically, I sought the head of the man who killed your mother. He was after an artifact I foolishly bestowed upon her. He saw her life as a small price to pay for it. I will see to it that he pays what's due in his own blood. If you will join me, I will have you. It is your right as her daughter.
  +
  +
The man ended her life in poison. When I discovered her IV was laced, I struck out. One of the few things I can still take pride in is that man's scream as he pulled the syringe from his bleeding eye. He lived, but his wound is a mark on his life.
  +
  +
Since then, I coveted the venom that ended your mother Elena's dear life. From it, I have made poisons to corrupt. Poisons to control. And poisons to deliver retribution upon the guilty.

My beautiful daughter, we will settle this together."

Revision as of 21:37, 19 September 2020

Hope is weakness. It's an illusion meant to sugarcoat this sickening reality.

Corey Molinar is the third Gym Leader of the Reborn region, as well as the father of Heather. He specializes in the Poison-type and is fought at Beryl Gym. Due to unforeseen circumstances, he does not give the player a Gym Badge.

He is very cynical and pessimistic, even telling the player to give up before the gym match. Following the death of his wife, Elena, Corey raised Heather with no hope so that she would not be disappointed in anything - as a result, their relationship is cold.

In the game

Corey is first encountered, though not immediately named, in the Beryl Ward, where he, Taka and ZEL guard the PULSE Machine. He argues with Heather over her actions, ironically being told she "didn't come here to be lectured like you're my dad", and battled her while the player takes on his allies.

Police Found

After Taka and ZEL escape, Corey attempts to do the same, but is stopped by the police, who promptly remove his hood, exposing his identity to both the player and Heather, who is emotionally shaken. Corey expressed that he had wanted to avoid such an outcome.

While the police were baffled that an upstanding person such as a Gym Leader would aid Team Meteor, Corey gives a cynical response about trusting authority, assuring the police that there are more such Team Meteor agents. After defiantly claiming the police force ultimately did nothing, he informed them that he would be at his gym and vanished.

After the player defeats Corey in a Gym Battle, Corey requests that the player go to Beryl Bridge, he would promise to answer the unanswered questions. When the player arrives at the bridge, Corey releases all of his Pokémon before explaining to the player his relationships with Team Meteor. He then requests that the player watch over Heather for him due to the Ruby Ring she has making her a target for Team Meteor and proceeds to throw himself off the bridge, resulting in his death.

Police Farce

After Taka and ZEL escape, Corey returns his Crobat to its Poke Ball before likewise retreating, prematurely ending his fight with Heather and escapes successfully. Because of this, it is never revealed to Heather that he was part of Team Meteor.

After the player defeats Corey in a Gym Battle, Corey requests that the player go to Beryl Bridge, Heather appears to announce she is leaving her dad for good. Corey tries to stop her but she doesn't listen, say she's sick of being told what she can't do. Before Heather leaves, Corey asks her not to lose her mother's ring. He then requests the player to Beryl bridge. When the player arrives at the bridge, Corey releases all of his Pokémon before explaining to the player his relationships with Heather. He then requests that the player watch over Heather for him due to the Ruby Ring she has making her a target for Team Meteor and proceeds to throw himself off the bridge, resulting in his death.


Corey's body was later found in the Lapis Ward by Victoria and Shelly. After the player arrives, Aster & Eclipse appear to confirm the death of Corey. Shade then appears out of nowhere and takes the body away.

Later on in the game after the player obtains the Silver Card, you can read in his journal that he originally joined Team Meteor in order to keep the Ruby Ring and sabotage them to get revenge on Sirius for killing his wife Elena.

Gym battle speech (Police Farce Route)
Pre-battle speech

[Corey]: Your resilience is admirable, but foolish.

[Corey]: Wake up. Your hopes... Your dreams...

[Corey]: Futile.

[Corey]: I will show you the cruelty of what is real!

Pre-battle (Rematch) speech

[Corey]: Youth will again and again break their spirits upon the crags of life.

[Corey]: Allow me to spare you the trouble.

Post-battle speech
[Corey]: ...You're only here for the badge, right? That's all?

[Corey]: ...Good. Then take it and go. I'm sick of-

{Heather enters room}

[Heather]: Hey!

[Heather]: Oh, hi <player>.

[Heather]: Anyway... I'm leaving. Bye.

[Corey]: Excuse me?

[Heather]: I'm leaving. For good. As in running away.

[Heather]: And you KNOW you can't stop me, so don't even try!

[Corey]: Stop. Stop this right-

[Heather]: Make me!

[Heather]: You can't! I'm done listening to you and your stupid rules! I'm sick of you saying I can't do anything ever!

[Heather]: So I'm just... done... Bye.

[Corey]: You are being completely irresponsible!

[Corey]: You can't just fly away and hope all your problems will be solved!

[Heather]: ...Watch me.

[Corey]: Heather!

[Heather]: What.

[Corey]: You took your mother's ring, did you not?

[Heather]: ...So what if I did?

[Corey]: ...Don't lose it.

{Heather leaves room}

[Corey]: So that's it...

[Corey]: Ten years of torment... For her to vanish just as quickly...

[Corey]: No.

[Corey]: I'll be at your side soon...

[Corey]: ...<player>.

[Corey]: I'm in no place to ask you favors, so...

[Corey]: I'll put it this way: Come to Beryl Bridge if you want a show.

Gym battle speech (Police Found Route)
Pre-battle speech
[Corey]: Take your place.

[Corey]: I will bar nothing.

[Corey]: You've forced my hand, <player>.

[Corey]: There's nothing left for me to lose.

[Corey]: The only reason I've kept going through the years was foe Heather. She was my singular denial.

[Corey]: My one hope, and memory of her...

[Corey]: And she may never speak to me again.

[Corey]: So when I ask myself, why?

[Corey]: Why did this happen?

[Corey]: There's only one answer I reach.

[Corey]: You.

[Corey]: You ruined the small splinter of a life I had rebuilt.

[Corey]: So, allow me to bring you down with me.

[Corey]: Suffer.

Pre-battle (Rematch) speech

[Corey]: Depravity knows not its limits.

[Corey]: Falter before me again.

Post-battle speech
[Corey]: ...

[Corey]: Savor this victory.

[Corey]: For every joy, bitter misery rushes after.

[Corey]: You're not going to end me, are you?

[Corey]: No, you'll just toss me over to the police.

[Corey]: I have a better idea.

[Corey]: The most succulent idea I've had in years...

[Corey]: Come to Beryl Bridge, <player>.

[Corey]: Whatever answers you desire, I'll give you, there.

A special report from... the Investigation Squad!

Yo, Reborn City! What's up?! We're here with the Reborn Showdown giving you a look at the Leaders of the Reborn League! I'm your host, DJ Arclight, now on air!

Up today is Corey, the Beryl Ward's Poison Gym Leader!

An older man with more derision than a grandma at a metal show, this Poison Leader pours it thick with the pessimism.

Not a whole lot is known about the man, except that he frequently visits Beryl Cemetery. But who do you think that's for? Even I'm not sure. If you ask me, someone oughta go smack a smile to him. Life's too short to be moping around all the time, yanno?

Trainers, take old man Corey down a few notches for me, but when you do, be careful! His Crobat is a speed demo, and its attacks are no laughing matter. Take special care not to let it set up by keeping pressure on it with status moves or hard-hits. Perseverance will always win the day in the face of pessimism!

That's all for now, but remember, Trainers, Keep fighting with everything you've got! Hold your spirits high, and even you can defeat the Reborn League!

Journal Entry

Corey's Note for Heather (Beryl Gym)

"For Heather,

By the time you read this, you will be strong. I was not raised to be strong. I was raised to be naive, and I suffered for it. I shall not make this same mistake with you. Reality is cruel. This, I learned the hard way. This, you have grown to learn from the second you were born.

I told you long ago how she passed. I did not mention who was responsible for it. Team Meteor sought to cleanse the city and restore it to its former heritage-- a holy site. To this end, they take no prisoners. I joined their ranks to sabotage them.

Specifically, I sought the head of the man who killed your mother. He was after an artifact I foolishly bestowed upon her. He saw her life as a small price to pay for it. I will see to it that he pays what's due in his own blood. If you will join me, I will have you. It is your right as her daughter.

The man ended her life in poison. When I discovered her IV was laced, I struck out. One of the few things I can still take pride in is that man's scream as he pulled the syringe from his bleeding eye. He lived, but his wound is a mark on his life.

Since then, I coveted the venom that ended your mother Elena's dear life. From it, I have made poisons to corrupt. Poisons to control. And poisons to deliver retribution upon the guilty.

My beautiful daughter, we will settle this together."

Trivia

  • His name is a word play from "corrosive", a chemical process.
  • Corey's VS sprite is based on that of Koga from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
  • Shade has a Gengar named after Corey, some suggest that the Gengar was Corey himself.
  • Corey's suicide was in one of the four image to be seen in Shade's Gym, the other three being Amaria's suicide, Kiki's death, and Lin's death.
  • Up to chapter 18, three of Corey's released Pokemon can be caught, they are Croagunk, Nidorina, and Skuntank. You need his Silver ring in his private room in order to get his pokemon. The diary in his room reveals that Corey's wife was killed by Sirius.
  • After his death, Corey's ghost will appear on a rooftop in Beryl Ward and after seeing you, he will jump off again. After tracking Corey's ghost in Peridot Ward, where he will be behind the pokemart, he will show up again in a messy house near team Magma base. It appears to be a Zorua in disguise.
  • During the online league, Corey was just as pessimistic as he was in the game. [1]
    • According to an interview with Amethyst, Corey is based on a real life person who likewise committed suicide.
