Rye (Japanese: ハク Haku) is a member of the Galaxy Team's Agriculture Corps.
He bears a striking resemblance to Riley, but the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.
In the core series games
Rye is featured in Request 88: "Steely Lucario". The request starts when the player interacts with a Lucario in the Galaxy Hall Entrance Hall. Rye will then appear and introduce himself, inviting the player to battle them at the Jubilife Village Training Grounds.
