====[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]====
===Character profile===
Gladion was originally a member of the [[Aether Foundation]] together with his mother [[Lusamine]] and his sister [[Lillie]]. However, over time, he noticed his mother's obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she would ruin [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. For this reason, he decided to leave the foundation, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} created to be a weapon to attack Ultra Beasts.
Gladion is a young boy who has made his debut in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, who serves as a [[rival]] to the {{player}}. As a part of [[Team Skull]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]], he lends them their strength as an enforcer, often performing small tasks for the group. Other members of the organization don't often consider Gladion to be a true member of Team Skull, and will often antagonize him. Gladion starts off as quite rebellious, and along with his partner, a [[Gladion's Silvally|Type: Null]], wishes to get stronger. Due to this behavior, Gladion comes off as unfriendly, telling others how and when to be serious and often doing things on his own. Despite this, Gladion cares deeply about his friends, family and Pokémon, thriving to get stronger to protect them. Gladion has many skills, including strength in [[Pokémon battle]]s, often participating in [[Battle Royal]]s. His English concept art describes the character as having middle-school arrogance. According to [[Pokémon Masters EX]], Gladion taught himself how to sew.
 
Over the course of the games, Gladion warms up to doing things as a group and appreciative of the people he has met in Alola, such as [[Hau]] and the {{player}}. In Sun and Moon, Gladion acts as the president of the [[Aether Foundation]] in his [[Lusamine|mother]]'s place as she has gone to [[Kanto]] to be cared for.
 
Gladion also appears to be quite knowledgeable about Pokémon, including {{p|Cosmog}}, the {{p|Type: Null}} line and the [[Ultra Beast]]s, Pokémon being researched by the [[Aether Foundation]]. He had named the {{p|Silvally}} species.
 
Gladion's known relatives include his parents, [[Lusamine]] and [[Mohn]], he also has a little sister by the name of [[Lillie]]. Gladion's grandfather, and Lusamine's father, goes unnamed, but he was known as a wealthy man who had loved Pokémon, creating the [[Aether Foundation]]. He had originally lived on [[Aether Paradise]] with his family before leaving with {{p|Type: Null}}. Like his sister, Gladion had been treated poorly by his mother, being told to dress and act the way she had wanted, Gladion compares himself to Null in this instance. Despite having prioritizing Type: Null over Lillie, Gladion appears to have a good relationship with his sister and had worried for her.
 
===Appearance===
[[File:Gladion SM concept art.png|thumb|250px|right|Gladion's concept art from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Gladion is a young teenage boy. Like his family, he has blonde hair and green eyes. His hair is mainly short, but he has long bangs that cascade over his right eye and the rigth side of his face. Gladion has sharp angular eyes, he has thick eyebrows that are the same color as his hair. Gladion has four cuts in his hair show his skin, two on each side of his head. He has two metal pierecings on the top side of his left ear.
 
Gladion wears a black sleeveless sweatshirt that rests. This sweatshirt has a large spiked hoodie, with two gray draw strings. A giant red gash goes through the middle. Underneath, Gladion wears a darker tight-fitting black shirt, the long sleeves reach down to his wrists and also contain multiple cuts. Gladion has a hair of black pants that reach down to his shins, again, multiple cuts and gashes are seen through his pants. These scrapes are likely from his Type: Null,, creating holes in his outfit. Gladion's red shoes have gray soles and black laces. He has a red waise bag with a single flap, a gray button is seen on the front of the flap, containing a 3 oval symbol. This symbol also appears throughout both of Lillie's outfits.

====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb''': ''This young man lends his strength to Team Skull as an enforcer. He places a high value on being strong in Pokémon battles. His partner Pokémon is the mysterious Type: Null.''
 
Gladion had originally lived on [[Aether Paradise]] together with his mother, [[Lusamine]], and his sister, [[Lillie]]. However, over time, he noticed his mother's obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she could harm [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. He decided to leave Paradise, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}, Pokémon [[artificial Pokémon|created]] to be weapons to attack Ultra Beasts, having felt bad for it and hoping to get stronger.


Upon leaving the Aether Foundation, Gladion had two goals: to stop his mother and to free Type: Null from the helmet that was meant to subdue it. He eventually worked as an enforcer for [[Team Skull]] but was never considered an actual member of the [[Villainous team|team]].

Gladion first meets the {{player}} on {{rt|5|Alola}} as a Team Skull member, but he does not seem to be interested in Team Skull's affairs, unlike the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Grunts}} near him. After his second battle with the player at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], he realizes the player might be able to help him stop Lusamine. When encountered on {{rt|13|Alola}}, he informs the player Team Skull is after {{p|Cosmog}}. Knowing now Team Skull is helping Lusamine get Cosmog back, he tells the player that they should make sure Cosmog is safe. When Lillie gets captured while the player is battling [[Guzma]] in [[Po Town]], Gladion appears before the player upon their return to the [[Aether House]] and battles them to express his frustration. After getting his priorities straight, he takes the player and [[Hau]] to [[Aether Paradise]] to face Lusamine and save both her and Lillie. Gladion is also encountered on the way to the newly finished {{al|Pokémon League}} on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He thanks the player for stopping Lusamine and reveals that not only has he received a [[Z-Ring]], but also managed to release his Type: Null from its restraint, [[Evolution|evolving]] it into {{p|Silvally}}. His Silvally will be holding the [[memory]] of the type that is strong against the player's starter Pokémon's type.
====Main story====
Gladion first meets the {{player}} on {{rt|5|Alola}} as a Team Skull member, but he does not seem to be interested in Team Skull's affairs, unlike the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Grunts}} near him. In this interaction, he seems to be berating [[Hau]] for not treating Pokémon battles with seriousness. The player encounters him again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], to which he has a battle in a [[Battle Royal]] against the player, [[Hau]] and the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]]. The player can meet him again in a motel on {{rt|8|Alola}}, but he will tell them to leave. Gladion won't appear again until he encounters the player with Hau on {{rt|13|Alola}}. At this moment, he informs the player to avoid letting anyone know about a {{p|Cosmog}} if they happen to know of it, as this could threaten the safety of the region. At [[Aether House]] on {{rt|15|Alola}} Lillie gets captured by Team Skull while the player is battling [[Guzma]] in [[Po Town]]. Gladion appears before the player upon their return to the Aether House and battles them to express his frustration. There, he finds out that Lillie had stolen [[Nebby]] from Aether, prompting him to take the player and [[Hau]] to [[Aether Paradise]] to face Lusamine and save Lillie.
 
On Aether Paradise, Gladion, Hau and the player meet [[Faba]], who has already alerted the organization of their presence, After battle, he takes the two to Paradise' secret labs, going into Secret Lab A while they take Secret Lab B. Gladion reveals that Secret Lab B was where the Type: Null were originally created, and he relates to them, being told to act and heave a certain way. After the player learns more about Cosmog, they make it back upstairs and he battles alongside the player in a multitude of battles against the Aether Foundation, including against another battle with Faba. Gladion and Hau battle a group of [[Team Skull Grunt]]s as the player make their way to Lusamine's mansion. After the player has met up and protected Lillie from Lusamine, Gladion and Hau catch up, and it is revealed that him and Lillie are Lusamine's children. Lusamine has kept Nebby in a cage since Lillie's kidnapping, in hopes to use the Pokémon's power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Gladion and his sister plead to Lusamine to not use Nebby's power. Lusamine ignores their pleas, saying that despite all the love she had given them, they had rejected her and didn't deserve to listen after stealing Type: Null. Lusamine opens Ultra Wormholes around Alola, inclduing in the trophy room they are currently in. This has caused Nebby to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (but nobody seems to be aware of this). During this time, Gladion fights against any Ultra Beats that may come from the wormhole. Lusamine and Guzma leave for [[Ultra Space]]. The group resides in Aether Pradise for the night under the protection of Wicke. Gladion provides the player with a [[Master Ball]] and Lillie with the [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|M}} before taking them to [[Seafolk Village]] on [[Poni Island]].
 
At Seafolk Village, Gladion and his sister have a conversation about eachother and their mother, apologizing for leaving Lillie alone while Lusamine had treated her horribly. Gladion leaves to train, and trusts the player and Lillie with saving his mother. Gladion isn't encountered again until the player makes their way to the newly finished {{al|Pokémon League}} on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He thanks the player for stopping Lusamine and reveals that not only has he received a [[Z-Ring]], but also managed to release his Type: Null from its restraint, [[Evolution|evolving]] it into {{p|Silvally}}. His Silvally will be holding the [[memory]] of the type that is strong against the player's first partner Pokémon's type. After defeat, he also explains that he came to relay a message from his sister, to tell the player that they are the best Pokémon Trainer in the world, and provides them with 3 [[Max Ether]]s.
 
Gladion appears at the festival in [[Iki Town]] after the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}. Gladion appears with his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} in a photograph, in Sun and Moon's credits sequence.


After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Alola region, Gladion has taken over as acting president of the Aether Foundation while Lusamine is away. He may be spoken to at Aether Paradise's conservation area, where he will give the player a Type: Null of their own, along with all of Silvally's [[memory]] drives.

He thanks the player for helping out his family, especially for Lillie who he claims has never seen such a smile on her before. Gladion then explains to them that the cause for Lusamine's actions were likely a result of his father's research on {{p|Nihilego}}.


Gladion is also one of the possible challengers who may appear at the Pokémon League as the player [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defends their title as Champion]].

Gladion's role is mostly similar as in Sun and Moon, although with several changes. As Lusamine is not obsessed with Ultra Beasts in this continuity, he instead left Aether Paradise with Type: Null due to [[Mohn]]'s disappearance, seeking to become stronger to protect Lillie and Lusamine. After the player becomes Champion, Gladion leaves the Alola region to train at [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Before leaving, he leaves a Type: Null and a set of memory drives in the possession of [[Wicke]], who gives them to the player at [[Ancient Poni Path]] during the post-game.

A month after {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{p|Necrozma}}'s defeat, Gladion returns to Alola and can be faced in a Pokémon League Title Defense battle, where he will wield the fully evolved form of a Kanto [[starter Pokémon]], whose type matches the player's starter Pokémon's type. After Gladion has been defeated in a Title Defense battle, the player can visit Aether Paradise to see Gladion witnessing a meeting between Lusamine and Mohn, with Lusamine letting her amnesiac husband continue his life of running [[Poké Pelago]]. Gladion asks Lusamine if she's sure about wanting to leave him in his current state, but Lusamine is simply satisfied to see Mohn being happy with his life.

Gladion has a {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} that evolves into a {{p|Silvally}}, having stolen it from his mother at Aether Paradise. Silvally's [[type]] and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Silvally|form]] will change to the type that is stronger against the player's [[first partner Pokémon]].
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Gladion will gain an additional Pokémon when the player is [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defending their title]] as Champion after exploring [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Here he will have either {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} or {{p|Blastoise}}, whichever is the same type as the player's first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game.
