Hospitalized with an unspecified leg injury requiring a cast on his right leg, Rick is Risa's younger brother. His limited mobility confines him to his hospital bed. Rick has tan skin, light-green eyes, and a light brown bob haircut featuring a small curl on top. He typically wears light blue pajamas with long sleeves and pants, a white coat outlined in green, and a green slipper on his left foot, with red headphones often around his neck.

Technologically adept, Rick frequently uses a laptop. He convinces Risa to attend Fula City's Wind Festival and catch a Pokémon for him, making emotional appeals about his vulnerability. He gifts her red sunglasses, which conceal a hidden camera he installed. Using this camera, he covertly monitors Risa's location and activities during the festival, enabling him to assist her remotely during a crisis.

Secretly, Rick operates online as the mascot for the "Pokémon Channel." For this persona, he wears a red top hat with a Poké Ball design, dark purple shades, a black shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a red vest with yellow outlines, and red gloves. He retains his light blue pajama bottoms and leg cast during broadcasts, explaining his waist-up screen appearances. He utilizes this platform to guide Risa through the city's emergency.

In the post-credits scene, Risa confronts Rick in his hospital room, demanding an explanation for his knowledge of her location. While not explicitly confirmed, it is strongly implied he monitored her via the sunglasses' camera. The cause of his leg injury remains undisclosed, and he is the only major character absent from the ending credits sequence.
