Rydel (Japanese: カゼノ Kazeno) is a character in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire who owns the Mauville City Bicycle Shop.

In the games

Rydel in Pokémon Emerald

Rydel in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

When the player visits his bike shop, he will see how dirty the player's Running Shoes are and will give a free Mach Bike or Acro Bike to them, and allow them to exchange one bike for the other freely. Much like the bicycle shop in Goldenrod City, Rydel uses the player to advertise his shop; as another biker points out, the bike has Rydel's name printed all over it.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after advertising his bikes at Routes 111, 119, and the Battle Resort, Rydel will reward the player with the missing second bike as a token of appreciation.

Quotes

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

• First time

"Well, well, what have we here? A most energetic customer! Me? You may call me Rydel. I'm the owner of this cycle shop."

"Your Running Shoes… They're awfully filthy. Did you come from far away?"

Yes: "Hm, hm… … … … … You're saying that you came all this way from Littleroot? My goodness! That's ridiculously far! If you had one of my Bikes, you could go anywhere easily while feeling the gentle caress of the wind! I'll tell you what! I'll give you a Bike! Oh, wait a second! I forgot to tell you that there are two kinds of Bikes! They are the Mach Bike and the Acro Bike! Mach Bike is for cyclists who want to feel the wind with their bodies! And an Acro Bike is for those who prefer technical rides! I'm a real sweetheart, so you can have whichever one you like! Which one will you choose?"

No: "Is that right? Then, I guess you have no need for any of my Bikes."

"If you get the urge to switch Bikes, just come see me!"

• If talked to again

"Oh? Were you thinking about switching Bikes?"

Yes: "Okay, no problem! I'll switch Bikes for you!"

No: "Good, good! I'm happy that you like it!"

"If you get the urge to switch Bikes, just come see me!"

• When the Acro Bike or Mach Bike is stored in the PC

"Oh? Were you thinking about switching Bikes?"

Yes: "Okay, no problem! I'll switch Bikes for you! Oh? What happened to that Bike I gave you? Oh, I get it, you stored it using your PC. Well, take it out of PC storage, and I'll be happy to exchange it! May the wind always be at your back on your adventure!"

No: "Good, good! I'm happy that you like it!"

I forgot to tell you that there are two kinds of Bikes! They are the Mach Bike and the Acro Bike! Mach Bikes are for cyclists who want to feel the wild, blowing wind as they ride! Acro Bikes are for those who prefer a technical ride! I'm a real sweetheart, so you can have whichever one you like! Which one will you choose?"

No:

• After advertising his bikes at Routes 111, 119, and the Battle Resort

"Oh, it's you! I've been waiting for you! Many people have come to my shop, saying they saw you riding a Rydel's Bike here and there and they want to buy a Bike, too. Thanks to you, my business is thriving! As a token of my appreciation, I'll give you another Bike!"

"May the wind always be at your back on your adventure!"

Sprites

In the manga

Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire

Rydel appears in Serious Bicycle Match!. Similar to the games, he is the owner of the bike shop. He doesn't like if when someone tries to destroy his bicycles. When Red met a Trainer who exceled at biking, Rydel decided to host a race between the Trainer, who used a Golem, Machamp, and Slaking, and Red, who used Pikachu, Clefairy, and Tyrogue.

Trivia

• In Generation III games, Rydel states that the bike is stored in the PC if this item is not found in the Bag. However, the game does not actually check if the bike is in the PC at the time.
  • In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the bike is assumed to be in the PC because the player cannot remove it from the Bag and place it anywhere else.
  • In Pokémon Emerald, this quote is still found in the game data, but is simply a leftover from the earlier games. The player is not able to store any Key Item (including both bikes) in the PC anymore, therefore this quote is not seen in normal gameplay.
