time for the first set of starter pokemon. The grass type. In the comic, the beginning trainer, Dusty, chooses Ryekid, a feisty little ram-like pokemon that has a habit of trying to topple Professor Elder (the head professor in Shuushin) over.

These things live up on mountain tops that are full to the brim of fire and electric types, so they are a little more aggressive by nature then other grass types. Their 'manes' are really a thick grass that changes color with the seasons.
