Lionel

Lionel originally began his journey as a Trainer at the age of 10 with his partner Charizard when he entered a Gym Challenge after being backed by Rose, who saw talent in him. He went on to win his first Gym Challenge and become the Galar League Champion, never losing a single battle. Since then, he and his partner have remained undefeated in every league and exhibition they've entered. He has been called "the unbeatable champion" and "the greatest Trainer in all of Galar," being considered a hero by many Trainers in Galar. However, he is also known for his poor sense of direction. His catchphrase is "Let's have some champion time!"

He appears to be a tall man. He has dark skin and fairly long lilac hair. He has honey-colored eyes and also wears a black cap with a yellow zigzag pattern, as well as a goatee. He wears two white wristbands with the official colors of the video game and a beige t-shirt that has a blue sword and a pink shield in reference to the video games, topped by a cape of light and dark red diamonds. He wears white pants with white tights and black and white shoes, with yellow X-shaped laces.

Lionel is a very self-confident person, even to the point that he can sometimes appear self-centered. During his championship battle against the player, he is still very focused on himself and his winning streak, not even considering the possibility of losing. He also only has photos of himself in his house and, oddly enough, none of his brother Paul. However, he is actually a very friendly, kind, and compassionate person.
