(Japanese: レイジ Reiji) is Paul's older brother. He is a Pokémon Breeder living in Veilstone City. He is voiced by 柿原徹也 Tetsuya Kakihara in Japanese.
Unlike his younger brother, he treats his Pokémon with love and care and thanks them after working hard in a battle.
He has earned the 8 badges from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. He has also challenged the Battle Frontier and won six of the seven Frontier Symbols. It is unknown in what order he did this; however, the badges and symbols are on the fireplace mantle in order from right to left of Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Johto and the Battle Frontier, which may possibly indicate the order in which they were obtained.
It was revealed in Lost Leader Strategy! that Paul had left his Electabuzz with Reiji for training. During this meeting, he and Ash battled in a three-on-three match; although Ash's Staravia lost to his Swalot, Turtwig and Pikachu successfully defeated his Bibarel and Staraptor respectively.
In DP067, Reiji and his Staraptor helped Ash's Staravia to learn Brave Bird.
He appeared again in DP069 where he used Paul's Electabuzz to help Ash fight Team Galactic.

It is unknown if any of these Pokémon belong to Paul; possibly none of them, given Paul's recruitment methods. Also, Paul may not be the only trainer Reiji looks after Pokémon for and the above ones may belong to other, unknown trainers.
