Ritchie Thompson
is the eldest son of a well off family who
run a luxury hotel on Kumquat Island. His mother is one of the Orange League Gym
Leaders who brought the art of double battling to her own Gym after visiting
Hoenn.
Ritchie's passage through trainerhood has
been quite the casual one - interrupted by the frequent act of goodwill and the
occasional share of eccentricity. He doesn't stay away from home for long,
preferring to take a couple of weeks out here or there to visit specific areas
of surrounding regions, sample their delights and challenge the more uniquely
themed Gyms.
While Ritchie's Pokémon training bouts are
intense, they tend to be interspersed with equal bouts of intense 'recuperation'
(i.e - Slobbing around in front of the TV). There's nothing he likes more than a
good meal, and this, coupled with his fiery competitive spirit, has landed him
with a few unfortunate stomachaches.
Abilities
Preferences
Ritchie enjoys helping those
in need, solving mysteries and travelling by air. He dislikes being
separated from his
Pikachu for too long.
History
Ritchie left home at 12
years of age to explore the Orange Archipelago and KanJoh Continent. By
passing the Pokémon League Admissions Exam, he was able to take part in
the Indigo Conference and placed in the Top 8 of competitors. He hasn't
participated in any competitions since, though his younger brother Travis
was inspired by his achievement to take on the Johto League.
