Sparky, Ritchie's Pikachu (Japanese: レオン Leon, ヒロシのピカチュウ Hiroshi's Pikachu) is Ritchie's main Pokémon, a Pikachu, even though it was not the first of his Pokémon introduced. It is distinguished from other Pikachu by a scruff of fur 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.
History
Prior to meeting 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 or Zippo was Ritchie's first Pokémon.
