'''Happy''', '''Ritchie's Butterfree''' (Japanese: '''パピー''' ''Papi'', '''ヒロシのバタフリー''' ''Hiroshi's Butterfree'') is one of [[Ritchie]]'s Pokémon, a {{p|Butterfree}}. Its voice actress in both English and Japanese is ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''.

It made its first appearance in ''[[EP078|A Friend in Deed]]''. After Ritchie and [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] had foiled [[Team Rocket]]'s plan to steal the Pokémon of everyone competing in the [[Pokémon League]], the van they were driving was about to go over a cliff. Ash and Ritchie decided to use their Pokémon to help them land safely. Ash used his [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]], while Ritchie sent out Happy. Thanks to their Pokémon, the two trainers were able to land safely.

Happy also appeared in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' during Ash and Ritchie's battle at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. It was up against [[Ash's Squirtle]]. It easily defeated the {{t|Water}}-type by using {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which caused Squirtle to become disqualified. Happy was then defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]] using its {{m|ThunderShock}}.

Happy was last seen in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'' during Ritchie's battle with [[Assunta]]. It was seen battling with her {{p|Venomoth}}. It hasn't been seen or mentioned since that episode.
