Ritchie Thompson


From Rebirpedia, the Pokémon Rebirth encyclopaedia.

 

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.

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.

During a trip to Professor Samuel Oak's laboratory, Ritchie came into contact with a mutant strain of PokéRus. The PokéRus consequently aged the young man almost forty years.

Pikachu

 

Chilled and observant, Sparky is more or less Ritchie's right hand man ('mon?). He puts up with his trainer's fumblings and accounts for things Ritchie sometimes overlooks. He's a pretty solid fighter in battle, too.
