Prior to meeting [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], Ritchie had always kept Sparky in a [[Poké Ball]] just like his other Pokémon, but as seen in later episodes, Sparky has always been outside of its ball. It is unclear whether Sparky was Ritchie's [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] or if [[Zippo]] has that honor.

Sparky (Japanese: レオン Leon) is Ritchie's main Pokémon, a Pikachu. It is distinguished from other Pikachu by a scruff of hair on the top of its head. This was most likely done to distinguish it from Ash's Pikachu, to avoid confusion when they were in the same scene. It is voiced by Satomi Kōrogi in both Japanese and English.
