'''Sparky''' (Japanese: '''レオン''' ''Leon'') is [[Ritchie]]'s main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, even though it was not the first of his Pokémon introduced. It is unclear whether Sparky or [[Zippo]] was Ritchie's [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. It is distinguished from other Pikachu by a scruff of fur on the top of its head.

Sparky made its debut appearance in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'', where it partnered with [[Ash's Pikachu]] to take on {{TRT}} when the latter was unable do it on his own. Together they managed to defeat [[Jessie's Arbok]] with {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
Prior to meeting {{Ash}}, Ritchie had always kept Sparky in a [[Poké Ball]] just like his other Pokémon, but in later episodes, Sparky has always been outside of its Ball.  


In its first appearance, Sparky worked with [[Ash's Pikachu]] to take on {{TRT}} when the latter couldn't do it on his own. Both Pikachu defeated [[Jessie's Arbok]] with {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Sparky was the last Pokémon sent out during Ritchie's match with Ash, where it automatically won when [[Ash's Charizard]] became disobedient and refused to battle. During ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', Sparky was once again the last one sent out when Ritchie battled [[Assunta]] after both sides were down to one Pokémon. Sparky was having trouble keeping up with Assunta's {{p|Ivysaur}} as {{m|Thunder Shock}} was rendered useless when it was blocked by Ivysaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}. During the battle, Sparky lost to Ivysaur's {{m|SolarBeam}}, eliminating Ritchie from the competition.
In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', Sparky was the last Pokémon sent out by Ritchie during his battle against Ash in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], where it automatically won when [[Ash's Charizard]] became disobedient and refused to battle.

In the [[EP222|next episode]], [[Dr. Namba]] chose Sparky and Ash's Pikachu as test subjects for the device the duo used earlier on their Pokémon. Before Dr. Namba got to try it out, [[Oliver]] came in and rescued Ash, Ritchie and the gang. However, Dr. Namba tripped the alarm which summoned Butch and Cassidy. The duo had a rematch with Sparky and Pikachu using their {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Houndour}} respectively. Both Pikachu aimed their Thunderbolts at the machine powering up the Pokémon, destroying it. Both Hitmontop and Houndour were rendered useless without the machine and were taken out by Sparky and Pikachu. After Team Rocket was defeated, Sparky went up against Dr. Namba's {{p|Electabuzz}} and had trouble with it. However, Sparky destroyed the machine Dr. Namba was using and Ash's Pikachu defeated Electabuzz.

Sparky reappeared in the special, ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]'' where it tried to stop Butch and Cassidy from getting away with {{an|Professor Oak}} after Ritchie and the others found the location he was kidnapped.

In ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'', it brought down a group of workers when Ritchie thought that they were going to demolish a Pokémon Center.
