Name: Richie Demetrius Palmer
Age: 21 Years old
Hometown: New Bark Town, Johto Region
Appearance: 
Richie stands at 6’1", with short, trimmed black hair. He cut his hair after joining The Rebellion, saying it was a sign of his former self. He has a clean face, with black eyes, clean teeth, and narrow lips. He weighs exactly 153 lbs. He wears a long sleeved black shirt with a red polo shirt over it. He also usually wears a Pokémon Ranger hat. He is rather muscular, having plenty of upper body strength for his size. He mainly wears Ranger attire, along with either black pants or his variety of Sweat suits. He has several Pokémon Ranger outfits in his bag, so he frequently wears them, minus the rope. He also always wears a rubber band on his wrist, just for a keepsake. Unbeknownst to Richie, he has inherited some psychic abilities from his family, like being able to hear a Pokemon actually speak. Due to him being in denial about it, he basically put up mental barriers that prevent him from being able to do this in its entirety.
Personality: Unlike a natural stealthy person, Richie is more of a direct action person. He is straight forward, sometimes extremely sarcastic, and is rather blunt about most situations. When faced by any opponents, he immediately becomes even more snarky and arrogant if he's winning, even maintaining his improvising attitude when he's losing. Speaking of his skills to improvise, Richie loves to make up brilliant strategies on the fly, even becoming extremely serious in place of sarcastic. He loves his Pokémon dearly, caring for each one as if they were family, since his mother still lives in Johto without him. He treats his friends with the utmost respect, even being kind to them when he first meets them. His enemies, however, get more of a cold shoulder treatment. When backed into a corner, Richie might sometimes do the unthinkable, trying anything to stop his enemies. Richie also has a bit of a nostalgic side to him, letting his mind drift off while he tends to regular tasks.
Biography: Richie was born in a time of crisis while he lived in Johto. With Team Rocket prevailing over everyone, he barely knew how to talk. Basically, he didn't know about the world of Pokémon until he was four years old, when his father passed away trying to stop Team Rocket. Throwing the child into a state of rage, Richie pushed himself to learn how to train each of his Pokémon. Once he turned 5, he began to learn more and more about Team Rocket, even learning about their leader, Giovanni. Vowing revenge, Richie grew up with a strong sense of justice, thus leading him to rebel against all people. As he grew older, his hatred for Team Rocket grew, soon leading him to thwart them with his own Pokémon at the age of 10. His mother grew concerned about him, leading Richie to giving his Pokémon to Professor Oak in Kanto. Oak still keeps all of Richie's Pokémon pals to this day. After Team Rocket's defeat, Richie simply stayed at home, helping his mother, still longing for adventure. Once he finally grew up and turned 18, he decided to settle down and not focus on anything pertaining adventures. At least until he moved to Hoenn, where he originally was just a citizen. During the time Hoenn was being taken over, Richie came across a rather friendly Growlithe, whom he befriended and named Spunky. Not too much longer after he got Spunky, he received a Totodile from a grunt in Team Aqua, being told to take down Team Magma before it’s too late. Not too long after he moved into Noverous, he met a young Riolu, in severe danger of being discovered by Team Magma. After saving the poor Pokemon, both Team Magma and Team Aqua began to attack him relentlessly. This continued until a member of The Rebellion saved him from being captured by both groups. After being in Noverus for a few years, Richie has put his all into stopping Magma, even taking up several missions that he knew was too much for him to handle. Now that he and Sera have parted ways for the time being, Richie can easily focus on the tasks at hand.

I would have liked to have heard more on how he joined the Rebellion (rather than Team Aqua, considering they gave him a pokemon), but this technically meets the requirements. I still want to see that added though.

I've edited the bio slightly. I tweaked two things.
-Changed age from 25 to 19, since I feel that 25 is a little too old for him to be THAT rebellious.
-Added what led him to The Rebellion.
