'''Li''' (Japanese: '''コウセイ''' ''Kōsei'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who first appeared in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. He is the Elder of the [[Sprout Tower]] {{tc|Sage}}s. He is an elderly man whose attire consists of a large purple robe covering most of his body, with a yellow robe over his right shoulder with a {{i|Poké Ball}} pattern. He bears a resemblance to Buddhist monks in real-world Japan. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Elder''' (Japanese: '''ちょうろう''' ''Elder'').


The title existed in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} but it wasn't a Trainer class until [[Generation IV]]. Instead, it was just a honorific title that Sages used when referring to Li. Before the introduction of the class, Li simply belonged to the Sage class.

*To {{ga|Silver}}
:''"You are indeed skilled as a trainer. As promised, here is your [[HM05|HM]]. But let me say this: You should treat your <sc>Pokémon</sc> better. The way you battle is far too harsh. <sc>Pokémon</sc> are not tools of war..."''
*Before battle
:''"So good of you to come here! <sc>Sprout Tower</sc> is a place of training. People and <sc>Pokémon</sc> test their bonds to build a bright future together. I am the final test. Allow me to check the ties between your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and you!"''
*Being defeated
:''"Ah, excellent!"''
*After being defeated
:''"You and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> should have no problem using this move. Take this <sc>{{m|Flash}}</sc> [[HM]]."''
:''"<sc>Flash</sc> illuminates even the darkest of all places. But to use it out of battle, you need the <sc>{{badge|Zephyr|Badge}}</sc> from [[Violet Gym|<sc>Violet</sc>'s <sc>Gym</sc>]]."''
:''"I hope you learn and grow from your journey."''
==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
*To Silver
:''"You showed us what you've got and it's indeed good... Take [[TM70|this Technical Machine]]. However, you should care more about your Pokémon. The way you treat your Pokémon can be too harsh... Remember, Pokémon are not tools of war..."''
*Before battle
:''"So good of you to come here! Sprout Tower is a place of training. People and Pokémon test their bonds to build a bright future together. I am the final test. Allow me to check the ties between you and your Pokémon!"''
*Being defeated
:''"Ah, excellent!"''
*After being defeated
:''"Hmm...The way you battle is quite elegant. You should be able to stand up to [[Falkner]]. And you should be able to make good use of this... It is a [[TM|Technical Machine]] called Flash. Take it with you!"''
:''"When a Pokémon learns Flash, you can illuminate caves no matter how dark they may be. You can try it on Bellsprout for example..."''
:''"I hope you learn and grow from your journey."''
==Trivia==
* In Generation II, his original full title in battle, Sage Li, may have been a pun on the word ''sagely''.
* His full title outside of battle (Generations II and IV) and in battle (Generation IV), Elder Li, may be a pun on the word ''elderly''.
* Although he cannot be battled, another Elder found in the [[Dragon's Den]] has the same overworld sprite as Li.
