Drake (Orange League): Difference between revisions

}}

'''Drake''' (Japanese: '''ユウジ''' ''Yūji'') is the leader of the [[Orange League]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in a [[Full Battle]] at [[Pummelo Stadium]] receive the [[Winner's Trophy]] and enter the Orange League [[Palace of Victory|Hall of Fame]].

[[Ash Ketchum]] battled him in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''.

Although the dub implies that Drake is merely a fifth [[Gym Leader]] in the Orange League, the Japanese version specifically uses the title [[Head Leader]] to denote his importance. Additionally, Drake is not necessarily a [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] either, given that it is not clarified whether or not he ever actually had to defeat a previous Head Leader in order to take the title (though it is suggested). In ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, he is referred to as the Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader. Ash battles him in ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 4|Surf's Up, Pikachu]]''.
