Ricky was a participant in the Fukiyose Tower Bell of Wishes Festival that was conducted by
Miles.
Ricky is a 'Psychic' who uses his Pokémon partner Ligray's powers to make it seem like he has psionic powers of his own. As part of his 'Psychic' persona, he will often get Ligray to change or read the minds of others to help benefit him. He has a bit of a superiority complex and he goes out of his way to use psionic powers for remedial tasks that otherwise did not need such an ability.
Ricky and
Ricky's Elgyem were paired up together for the Fukiyose Tower Bell of Wishes Festival tournament.
Ricky interjected during the trivia quiz when
Cilan and his friends where trying to figure out which girl
Miles liked the best as it really was a very subjectional question.
Ricky 'proofed' his psionic powers to
Cilan and his friends by getting his Ligray to change the mind of
Miles to
Officer Jenny (Unova) so that they would get the question right.
Miles was a bit confused after that round of the trivia quiz and
Cilan seemed to notice
Ricky's Elgyem use its abilities to affect
Miles.
In the scavenger hunt portion of the festival tournament,
Ricky made a TwistedSpoon from an ordinary spoon using
Ricky's Elgyem powers. In the tub race,
Ricky's Elgyem used
Psychic and lifted the boat above the water and they won that race. In the imitation portion of the tournament,
Ricky was supposed to dress-up like
Officer Jenny (Unova) while
Ricky's Elgyem was supposed to dress-up like
Officer Jenny's Herdier but neither of the got dressed and they just walked out on stage in their normal clothes.
Ricky's Elgyem once again used its psionic powers on
Miles to make it seem like they were dressed up.
Miles accepted their dress-up and passed them onto the next round despite
Iris' protests.
Ricky and
Ricky's Elgyem also won the forest of trials obstacle course and were entered into the finals.
In the candle race,
Ricky and
Ricky's Elgyem made it to the top first where they faced the flock of Pidove.
Ricky thought he was smart by getting his Ligray to use
Light Screen. It worked well against
Gust but once they switched to
Air Slash, it broke through and put out the candles flame and eliminated
Ricky from the tournament.
