“ | Ahyahyahya! Isn't this amusing?! Is it really your intention to oppose me, a Team Magma Admin, just the two of you? Mmm... Very well then! I'll show you how terrifying adults can be! Ahyahyahya! I'm going to give you some very thorough coaching! | „ |
~ Tabitha |
Tabitha is one of the four secondary antagonists within the Hoenn Pokémon games (Pokémon Ruby/Pokémon Sapphire/Pokémon Emerald and their remakes, Pokémon Omega Ruby/Pokémon Alpha Sapphire) and one of the two secondary antagonists of its anime adaption. He is one of Team Magma's admins and is the Magma counterpart of Matt.
In Japanese, he was voiced by Yuto Kazama in the anime and Akio Suyama in Pokémon Generations. In English, he was voiced by John Campbell in the anime and Doug Erholtz in Pokémon Generations.
Biography[]
Games[]
In Pokémon Ruby, Tabitha is successful in stealing a meteorite from meteor falls and is battled before Maxie on Mt Chimney. He is battled again in the Magma Hideout to stop the player from chasing down his leader Maxie.
In Pokémon Emerald, the MT chimney event is repeated. He is also faced in the new Magma Hideout before Maxie. Finally, the player and Steven team up to face Maxie and Tabitha in a double battle at the Mossdeep space centre where the Magmas are defeated again. He is not seen again after the apparent disbandment of Team Magma.
Pokémon Masters[]
While first appearing in a cameo role in the Masters of Land and Sea event, Tabitha makes their first full appearance in Pokémon Masters in the Hoenn-themed chapter of the second arc of of the main story, with Maxie and his admins first being seen standing in front of their grunts. While not doing much, Tabitha does make a general agreement of Maxie's in-action, warning of Groudon's power.
Despite this action not going through, the members of Team Magma and Team Aqua still find and battle each other in a nearby town, causing Brendan, May, and Wally to go investigate. This duel eventually subsides in a draw, as the leaders of both group lose interest in their unsatisfactory brawl. Even Groudon and Kyogre demanding they fight is broken up by the arrival of Rayquaza, which causes the two to flee. Due to this, the leaders of both teams decide to make the plans of finding their lost legendarys. Back at their base while Courtney does investigation work, Tabitha and Maxie discuss the lack of information on Groudon's whereabouts, with Maxie noting of his past with Archie to Looker and Paulo. However, their peace is interrupted with a call of Courtney's rampage. Faced with the challenge of the admins wielding legendary Pokémon and their vicious trance, the remaining members of each team work together in order to defeat Groudon and Kyogre, using the ability of reasoning to stop their assault. However, the rampaging legends (and in turn, the berserk state Courtney was) was stopped through Steven and Zinnia using their combined powers to destroy an incoming meteor and a device Team Rocket used to make the Pokémon become uncontrollable. After learning of Team Rocket's involvement in the incident, the two rival teams decide to call a truce, putting their rivalry to the side in order to protect Pasio.

Tabitha, known as Mitch in the Chuang Yi translation, is one of the Three Fires—Admins of Team Magma—along with Courtney and Blaise.
Like all of the Three Fires, Tabitha has a special lighter that can transmit and record images by burning them on paper. Tabitha's specialty is direct, using his Torkoal's smoke to hypnotize and poison.
Ruby and Sapphire were traveling along Route 107 when they encountered Courtney and Tabitha. The two Magma Admins were trying to steal a deep-sea scanner from the wreckage of the Abandoned Ship.
Later, Team Aqua used the meteorite to cause Mt. Chimney to cease its activity. Sapphire and Flannery tried to prevent this but failed. Tabitha and Flannery cooperated to destroy Team Aqua's machine, but they were unable to re-start the volcano. However, this incident would later cause Flannery to side with Team Magma when the Gym Leaders of Hoenn wanted to choose sides.
When Maxie attempted to control both Groudon and Kyogre through the Red and Blue Orbs (which Blaise stole for him conveniently before Team Aqua made an alliance with Team Magma), he discovered that it would be too much for his mental capacities to handle. Therefore he handed the Blue Orb to Tabitha, telling him to suppress Kyogre's will of battling. However, one of the Aqua Admins, Amber, managed to get the orb to Archie, who then abandoned the loyal minion.
But this event left a residue effect on Tabitha, as Wallace found out during their battle in the Lilycove Department Store, which he lost horribly. Even though Tabitha had only touched the orb for a short period, Kyogre's influence still managed to slip through since he did attempt to control the sea titan, causing him to go out of his mind and rampage upon the former champion. Steven managed to knock him out with his Metagross's Meteor Mash when he attacked Wallace wildly.
He, along with most other Team Magma and Aqua members, appears to have disappeared after the Groudon and Kyogre incident, though Flannery has spotted him (apparently reformed) in a crowd in Lavaridge Town once, ready to bathe in the revived springs.
A second Tabitha (based off his design in the remakes) was later seen as part of Team Magma in the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter.

Trivia[]
- Because of the redesign, Pokémon Adventures treated the newer design as a separate character for the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter, identifying Tabitha as more of a code name than an actual name.
