Biography: Richard was born to a family of Psychics and Spirit Mediums in Saffron City, he is no different His Father was a Psychic who left to search for Legendary Pokemon, specifically, Lugia. Richard was raised by his mother and Grandmother, both spirit mediums. It was tradition in their family that Males would become Psychics and females would become Spirit Mediums. Richard, however, was trained by his grandmother as a Spirit Medium. He was very close to his Grandmother, and when his fathers messages stopped, she convinced him to go and search for him. The problem was that he lacked money. He didn't have the funds to travel across the world... However, his last communication said that he had tracked Lugia to the Korrano region, he had also seen a large poster that advertised joining the Pokemon Rangers. He went to their recruiting office in Celadon to enquire about joining, which is where he ran into Professor Juniper, a genius in the field of Pokemon research, after talking with her for a short while, he accidentally let slip that he was a psychic. She was rather curious, and asked if he would help her with her research into the Psychic relationship that people and Pokemon share. Her first experiment was with a Joltik that he raised, however, upon hearing that his ability to psychiclly converse with Pokemon didn't work with Dark-Types, she gave him a Larvitar to raise, knowing that, once it evolved into Tyranitar, it would gain Dark as a type, she wanted to know if the bond they forged would hold up when it evolved. Her second experiment was to give him an egg to hatch to see if bonds were stronger between those who raise their pokemon from an egg.

In return, she pulled a few strings she had with the Rangers and convinced them to fast-track him into them. He made it through basic training and is now on his way to Korrano region, to help people, and with any luck, might locate his father alive and well... And hopefully Lugia with him...
