( Because, seriously, who's going to trust Ricki with a REAL sword? Then again, even a wooden sword is dangerous enough if you can swing it hard enough that you can break the sound barrier and create concentrated bursts of wind as a result. Now if only Arawn would smith this for Ricki… Then he wouldn't have to waste a feature on it. ) |

Backstory: Ricki grew up on a small farm to the north of where Olivine would be (No, not what would become Moo Moo Ranch… There’s another one buried behind the trees, just a little off the path) with his mom and dad. It was a cute little farm, full of Ponyta and Mareep and Torchic and all sorts of cute, fuzzy Pokemon you’d find on a farm. Hell, they might have even had one of those weird Ducklett lying around in the area. His parents worked hard on the farm, but, sadly, it wasn’t always enough… Why, you ask? Well, because they spent more time trying to keep Ricki from bleeding to death than they did actually farming!
It all started one day when Ricki was in the stables with his favorite Ponyta, White Lightning. He was grooming Ponyta’s mane, which had yet to burst into flames, when he decided to try riding her. So he saddled her up, hopped on, and dashed off into the distance. However, as Ponyta got to top speed, her mane lit up in a fiery blaze. Ricki, startled terribly by it, pulled the reins, but the sudden stop caused Ricki to fly off, his left arm getting scorched as it sailed through Ponyta’s fiery mane. On top of that, he skidded across the floor on his head, causing the skin (and everything attached to it) to peel off. A skin graft could have been potentially dangerous (if it even existed at all at the time), so Ricki’s skull is now partially exposed.
From there, the accidents only got worse. A second riding accident left him with a shattered right wrist, and a massive scrape on his face that never healed; pulling a Meowth’s tail got his chest clawed up badly, gashes and tearing and lots of scars abound. Going to Mount Mortar turned out to be a bad idea when he got socked in the face by a Geodude’s Mega Punch, angry that Ricki stepped on it. Even after the swelling went down, the lymph nodes in the area were shot, and couldn’t suck the blood back in, leaving his face slightly blue and discolored. And let’s not forget that time he stomped on a Cacnea with his foot because he thought it was staring at him weird…
The list of injuries went on. Eventually, Ricki’s parents just gave up on raising him right and just let him do whatever he wanted, as long as he was home for supper. The repeated knocks to the head didn’t help his mental or emotional processing skills, either. Sometimes his memory sucked so bad he couldn’t even retain instructions to go to the water and get some Horsea manure…
Which is exactly what he was sent off to do when he disappeared. Don’t ask how this happened… He just… Somehow managed to end up in Oran Valley… From Johto. He got THAT fucking lost along the way. Regardless, he somehow ended up becoming a farmer in the area (Because he probably would have starved to death otherwise and not even realized it)… Taking up an apprenticeship under some other established farm in the area (Which is more or less the owner telling the dumbass what to do and him doing It obediently and without question… Not that he’d be able to think up a question in response, but hey, it isn’t rape if they enjoy it, right?) The apprenticeship doesn’t involve actual pay, just a place for Ricki to sleep and food for him and his Pokemon… It may not be the best job, but Ricki doesn’t complain… Probably because he doesn’t have the mental capacity to decipher whether or not his apprenticeship sucks or not.
