In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in ''Adventures'', one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills.

Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly probable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it, with the most well-known example being the Hoenn Gym Leaders gathering at [[Fortree City]] during the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team—[[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]]—they should support. They also tend to help [[Pokédex holder]]s to fight the villains who are usually behind different crises, a great example being the Sinnoh Gym Leaders fighting [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.

All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses and one draw.
*Seven of [[Hoenn]]'s Gym Leaders gathered at [[Fortree City]] during the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team — [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]]— they should support. When the crisis escalated, the Gym Leaders turned their attention towards the {{adv|super-ancient Pokémon}} instead.
*Six of [[Sinnoh]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to fight [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.
*Six of [[Unova]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to protect the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]] from [[Team Plasma]]'s advance during the {{chap|Black & White}}. Their plan ultimately failed, and Team Plasma took them hostage.
*Five of [[Kalos]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to stop [[Team Flare]] from activating the [[ultimate weapon]] in the {{chap|X & Y}}.
*All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]'s Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses and one draw.
