Ryuki (Japanese: リュウキ Ryūki) is a non-player character in the Generation VII games. He is a rock guitarist and a Pokémon Trainer who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.

In the games

Ryuki is a rock musician who has traveled to Alola from another region beyond the sea in order to spread his fame. He's also one of the Trainers who challenges the player for the title of Pokémon Champion.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Ryuki also sometimes appears at the Kantonian Gym in Malie City, where he can be battled, although defeating him isn't necessary in clearing the Kantonian Gym challenge. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player a Dragon Scale. He also promises to become a Dragon-type Gym Leader once real Gyms start appearing in Alola.

Pokémon

Ryuki's Pokémon are kept in Ultra Balls.

Quotes

Pokémon Sun and Moon

First challenge
  • Before battle
"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. I mean, with partners like my Pokémon, how could I not be a star? I came all the way across the sea here to Alola to spread my fame out here, too! The whole world will be mine soon!"
  • Upon being defeated
"I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
  • After being defeated
"Everyone's got their own problems, huh? The critics loved my songs, but nobody was buying my music for a while, man. But I'm just a rocker down to my bones. Nothing else to do but keep on rocking. I dig you, Champ. Looks like you know who you are, too, right down to your bones."
Subsequent challenges
  • Before battle
"My babies here are dying to play a set. I figure what better stage than the Champion's! Allow me to introduce my bandmates! Come on, babies!"
  • Upon being defeated
"I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
  • After being defeated
"But passing through the fire makes me stronger, and that's why I'm a star! I'll roll into town again sometime, Champ. I'm always looking for a good gig."

Kantonian Gym
"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. I mean, with partners like my Pokémon, how could I not be a star? I came all the way across the sea here to Alola to challenge the Pokémon Gym!"
"But this Kantonian Gym here... This isn't a real Pokémon Gym. Still, I dig it here. It's got a feel to it, man. It's got spirit."
"Hey, Trainer. I can feel your spirit, too! Want to have a battle with Ryuki?/Hey, Champ! Why not have a battle with me? Let our fiery spirits clash in a blaze of glory!"
Sure!: "Allow me to introduce my band mates! Come on, babies!"
No thanks!: "I don't blame you. I'm a rocker down to my core, after all!"
  • Upon being defeated
"I'm gonna belt out everything inside of me! I've gotta encourage my Pokémon to keep rocking!"
  • After being defeated
"All right! My babies were all fired up to play a set, but you chilled them out nicely!"
First challenge: "That's right, a Dragon Scale! I've poured my spirit into it, too!" "Hey! You're curious about what kind of item the Dragon Scale is, aren't you? Well, you'll have to figure that out for yourself!"
"Once Alola gets a real Pokémon Gym, I give you my word I'll become the Dragon-type Leader!"
  • If talked to again (subsequent challenges)
"The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star. And now, you're a star, too! There's only one thing two stars can do—get the crowd fired up with a blazing, rocking Pokémon battle!"

In the anime

Ryuki in the anime

Ryuki made his debut in SM118 as the leader of the Kantonian Gym. He first had a battle with Kiawe, easily defeating him as his Marowak when it got distracted by Ryuki's music. Next, he battled against Ash, but when Ash's Rowlet was losing to Ryuki's Zweilous, Ash's Meltan got angry at its friend getting hurt and ate some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit in retaliation. Ryuki then changed the match into a Double Battle, with Ash using Meltan and Ryuki using Druddigon. Thanks to Rowlet learning Brave Bird, Ash was able to win the battle. Ryuki then gave him a badge bearing a picture of his own face as a proof of his victory.
