	Games - List of Orange Islands Gym Leaders

Below is a list of Orange Islands Gym Leaders, fictional characters who serve as Pokémon Gym Leaders in the Orange Islands region in the Pokémon anime.
Collectively known as the Orange Crew, each of these Gym Leaders is in charge of a Pokémon Gym.
Unlike the other Gym Leaders, these 5 characters were created for the anime (along with the entire Orange Islands region), and do not appear in other media except the official manga adaptation of the anime. The Orange Crew mostly favor tests of skill, endurance, or other tests of the applicant’s mettle, instead of straight head-to-head battles. In the anime, each of them poses to Ash a challenge to overcome or task to complete before he earns the badges he needs to go on to the Johto Pokémon League championships.

Cissy

Cissy is Mikan Island’s Gym Leader. She is an expert on Water-type Pokémon, and one of the rules of her Gym is that opponents must use Water-type Pokémon as well. She lives with Senta, her assistant and little brother, who is also a Pokémon trainer and, according to Tracey Sketchit, she is known as “one of the toughest trainers in the Orange Crew”. She is very tough indeed, as well as a bit of a trickster. She hands out the Coral Eye Badge to trainers who defeat her.

When he sought her out to win his first Orange League badge, Ash discovered that Cissy, like the rest of the Orange Crew, conducts a different kind of Gym battle from those he was used to in the Indigo League. The first part of Cissy’s match is an accuracy test, in which both trainers have their Pokémon use Water Gun to accurately hit targets. The second test is a Surfing race around some buoys near the coast. Ash prevailed in both and won the badge.

Cissy’s Pokémon

Danny

Danny is Navel Island’s Gym Leader. He does not specialize in a particular Pokémon type. He appears to be in his mid-20s and enjoys water sports including sailing and windsurfing. Danny hands out the Sea Ruby Badge to trainers who defeat him.

He was the second Gym Leader Ash encountered in the Orange Archipelago. He and Misty seemed to have a minor flirtation in the anime episode “Navel Maneuvers”. Like other members of the Orange Crew, Danny didn’t simply battle Ash; instead, he challenged Ash to work with his Pokémon in order to win the Badge. Initially, Ash had to climb a mountain without the aid of any of his Pokémon. Then, Ash and Danny each chose one of their Pokémon to try to freeze a geyser of superheated water. Each then picked three Pokémon to carve a bobsled (or toboggan) of sorts from the ice, and the final challenge was a bobsled race down the side of the mountain. Ash won the last two challenges (the requisite is two out of three) and received the badge from Danny.

Danny’s Team

Rudy

Rudy is Trovita Island’s Gym Leader. He specializes in combat between Pokémon of the same type. His strategy also includes teaching his Pokémon skills they would not normally learn, such as modern dance. Trainers who defeat him earn the Spike Shell Badge.

Rudy was the third Gym Leader that Ash Ketchum met while traveling through the Orange Archipelago. In the episode “Misty Meets Her Match”, he ignored Ash and put all his efforts into wooing Misty, who had saved his younger sister Mahri and her Seel from a whirlpool. Although he appears cultured and charismatic, Rudy failed to convince Misty to stay with him on the island.
