[[File:Ryme anime.png|250px|thumb|Ryme in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]]]
Ryme first appeared in silhouette alongside the other [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Paldea]] in [[HZ046]] during [[Clavell]]'s explanation of how [[Terastal Training]] works.
 
Ryme appeared in [[HZ052]], where she was wandering around the woods looking for an {{p|Annihilape}} when she was led up to Roy by the sound of his singing. Both Trainers expressed their common interest in singing, and Ryme even rapped to encourage [[Roy's Wattrel]] to overcome its fears and insecurities to move forward. She also displayed an interest in [[Roy's Fuecoco]] before leaving with her {{p|Houndstone}}.
 
In [[HZ061]], Ryme was in charge of Roy's second [[Terastal Training]] test. After having a short {{wp|Battle rap|rap battle}} against Roy, she was impressed by his rapping skills and both went on to start their battle. Ryme was impressed that Roy's Wattrel had evolved, but still easily defeated {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} with her Houndstone. After Fuecoco defeated Houndstone, Ryme sent out {{p|Toxtricity}}. Using it, she was able to easily defeat Roy's {{Tera}}stallized Fuecoco. After the battle, Ryme explained to Roy that he and his Pokémon were clearly not in sync and he had only Terastallized out of desperation, and on that basis, she judged that he had failed the test.
 
In [[HZ062]], Ryme was having another concert at night, when Roy challenged her to a [[rematch]]. Ryme agreed upon seeing that something had improved about him and Fuecoco, so she offered him an exceptional second chance in a one-on-one match, Roy's Fuecoco versus her Toxtricity. In the rematch, Roy and his partner's newfound passion for singing and battle tactics were enough for Ryme to Terastallize Toxtricity. Fuecoco Terastalized as well and managed to defeat Toxtricity afterwards, winning Roy the rematch and passing his test. Ryme noted how whether Fuecoco will reach his full potential is dependent on Roy.

Ryme (Japanese: ライム Lime) is a Gym Leader of Montenevera's Gym, known officially as the Montenevera Gym. She specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon.

In the core series games

Ryme is the younger sister of Tyme, the math instructor of Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV, who was previously the Montenevera Gym Leader. Ryme is also a renowned hip-hop artist who often partakes in rap battles. She puts great emotions and passions into both her rapping and her Pokémon battles.[4] She has been a legendary rapper for four decades. As a teen, she wrote a song to express her grief over the death of her Puppy Pokémon. Her singing revived it as a ghost Pokémon. She is still said to "bring the dead to their feet" as the "MC of RIP" thanks to the themes of death in her rap music. It is for these reasons that she decided to become a Ghost-type Pokémon Trainer.

In addition to her Gym Badge, Ryme gives out TM114 (Shadow Ball) after defeating her.

In The Indigo Disk, Ryme can be invited to Blueberry Academy as a special coach.

Pokémon

Ryme is always faced in a Double Battle. She will Terastallize her Toxtricity at the first opportunity.

Gym battle

Certain actions during the Gym battle will cause the spectators to cheer for either Trainer. This causes the Pokémon from the supported side to receive stat boosts in one or more of their stats.

Ryme first appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders of Paldea in HZ046 during Clavell's explanation of how Terastal Training works.

Ryme appeared in HZ052, where she was wandering around the woods looking for an Annihilape when she was led up to Roy by the sound of his singing.
