Leon and Raihan

Name: Raihan
Gender: Male
Home: Artejo City
Region: Galar
Occupation: Gym Leader
Height: 195 cm
Age: Approximately 20 years old

Raihan is a tall, slender young man with dark skin and light blue eyes, sporting a mohawk. His attire consists of an orange headband, the gauntlet of the Dragon-type uniform, and, most notably, a navy blue and gold hoodie with orange sleeves that resemble a dragon's mouth. He also wears the Dragon-type uniform pants and black and orange shoes with white laces similar to those on his hoodie.

Raihan is a very sociable guy, a rival of Leon, and a huge social media star. However, beneath that jovial and carefree exterior lies the best trainer in the Galar League today. Raihan is someone who cares a lot about his appearance and popularity, which is why he loves taking selfies constantly for his fans. He doesn't take losses too seriously, focusing instead on getting a picture for posterity. However, this doesn't mean he doesn't take Pokémon battles seriously, as he often goes to the Isle of Armor to train and develop new techniques to defeat his opponents. He also demonstrates a strong rivalry with Leon, even encouraging you to try and beat him.

He is considered the strongest Gym Leader in all of Galar. Driven by his desire for victory in any environment, he has developed a fighting style that utilizes weather conditions. According to some experts, he would be perfectly capable of becoming Champion in another region, but apparently, Raihan places much more importance on a victory against Lion. Despite the popularity of the photos he uploads to his social media, sometimes the only thing depicted is a sandstorm.
Although Raihan started taking selfies to cope with the frustration of his defeats, lately he's been posting more pictures of his training sessions or fashion items. Perhaps that's why the critical comments he receives from users when he loses to Lion have increased accordingly. While it's true he's on a ten-game losing streak against him, he's the Trainer who has knocked out the most Pokémon. He can't wait to post a picture of his victory against Lion on social media.
Raihan is the eighth and final Gym Leader of the Galar League, and is widely considered the strongest Gym Leader in the region. He is also the self-proclaimed rival of Champion Lion. Despite a losing streak of 0-10 against him, he is the only person who has come close to defeating him, having managed to defeat more of Lion's Pokémon than anyone else. It is said that he is strong enough to become Champion if he were to move to another region, but he has refused to do so because of his desire to defeat Lion.
While Raihan specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon, it often uses Pokémon of other types to create weather conditions such as sandstorms and intense sunlight. Unique among the Galar Gyms, Raihan's Gym also focuses heavily on Double Battles.

Despite being a leader specializing in the Dragon type, half of his team does not possess this type.
His uniform number, 241, can be read in Japanese as "tsuyoi" (strong).
Raihan is one of the three gym leaders who fight in a double battle for the gym badge, the other two being Vito and Leti.

Leon is a tall man of medium build. He has dark skin, fairly long hair that is a light lilac or purple color. His eyes are large, striking, and a honey color. He has a dark goatee, and while his chin is clean-shaven, the hair grows down the sides, almost like a beard.
His outfit consists of a long, wine-colored cape with a darker, checkerboard diamond pattern on the inside. The edges are fully lined with thick, cream-colored plush. He wears a tight-fitting, short-sleeved black T-shirt with thin vertical stripes. A large, geometric design in the shape of a red shield, with a blue sword piercing it, is prominently displayed on the chest. He wears very short white athletic shorts with the number "1" printed in red on his left leg. Underneath the shorts, he wears tight white leggings that cover his legs completely, down to his shoes. His sneakers are white with a black tongue and yellow laces forming an "X". He also wears a black cap with a yellow zigzag design that resembles a crown.
Part of his accessories are two white wristbands, and on his right hand he wears a black glove, without the thumb and with the other fingers yellow.

Leon is a very self-confident person, even to the point of sometimes seeming egotistical. During his championship battles, he remains completely focused on himself and his winning streak, never even considering the possibility of losing. He also only has pictures of himself in his house and, oddly enough, none of his brother Paul. However, he is actually a very friendly, kind, and compassionate person, as shown when he protects his brother Paul.

Leon began his journey as a trainer at the age of 10 with his partner Charizard when he entered the Gym Challenge after being encouraged by Rose, who saw talent in him. He went on to win his first Gym Challenge and become the Galar League Champion, without losing a single battle. Since then, he and his partner have remained undefeated in every league and exhibition they have entered. He has been called "the unbeatable champion" and "the best trainer in all of Galar," and is considered a hero by many trainers in Galar. However, he is also known for his terrible sense of direction. His catchphrase is "Let's have some champion time!" According to Mustard, Leon was once his top student at the Master Dojo, but he was never able to complete his training there, as he never made it to the Two Fists Towers due to his terrible sense of direction.

After the events of the main story, Leon acquired ownership of Rose Tower and transformed it into the Battle Tower. The reason for this was to fulfill a lifelong dream he had when he was still the Champion: to create a place where Galar's trainers could become the strongest in the world. Another reason behind the Battle Tower was so that he would never get lost inside it. Some say that Leon has become more cheerful than when he was Champion and is currently having trouble finding a new catchphrase to use.
