Risa Selden decided to become a Pokémon Trainer (reluctantly) since her brother Rick Selden wanted an Eevee, but ended up with an injury that prevented him from being able to do so.

Just before she ends up meeting a special Eevee, she meets a Pokémon Trainer named Ash Ketchum, who lets her borrow his Pikachu and teaches her how Pokémon Battles work. With his tips in mind, she successfully catches the Eevee, who becomes her new partner.

However, before she could give Rick the Eevee he's always wanted, she was caught up in a string of events that ended up involving her teaming up with a group of people that was led by Ash, who ended up saving Fula City (PKMN:The Power of Us).

An unknown amount of time after catching another Eevee she gave to Rick, she ends up inside a portal that takes her to a world where School Idols are the norm and she meets Emma Verde as well as Hilda White and her friendship group (LL! SIFAS, Main Stories:Introducing Lisa!).

Currently, she is also learning how to sharpen her singing and dancing skills in addition to bettering herself as a Trainer.

Known Pokémon

 * Eevee (Partner).
 * Blaziken (Mega Blaziken).
 * Melmetal (Gigantamax Melmetal). Risa's Meltan evolved into Melmetal by combining with other Meltan with the help of some energy from the Gray Chaos Emerald that Risa borrowed from Tails with Emma's help.

Background Information

 * Risa catching the Partner Eevee in her backstory is a nod to the Let's Go games, since Risa's canonical counterpart from The Power of Us has a bond with her Eevee not unlike the bond the Let's Go protagonists have with their Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee in the games

Trivia

 * Risa's surname is a nod to Kathy Selden, a character from the 1952 movie Singin' in the Rain.
