The '''Orange League''' (Japanese: '''オレンジリーグ''' ''Orange League'') is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. It consists of four regular [[Gym Leader]]s and one [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader|Supreme Gym Leader]], all of whom form the '''Orange Crew''' (Japanese: '''サザンクロス''' ''Southern Cross''). It has been established for over 300 years.

The Orange League is perhaps the least conventional of all the existing [[region]]al Pokémon Leagues, as it focuses less on {{pkmn|battle|Pokémon battling}} and more on how {{pkmn|Trainer}}s interact with their individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in many different circumstances. Trainers taking the Orange League challenge are said to be tougher than those in the [[Indigo League]]. Competing in the Orange League is different from competing in other Pokémon Leagues: Trainers must earn only four [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s instead of the usual eight. Additionally, there is no [[Pokémon League Conference]].


The '''Orange Crew''' (Japanese: '''サザンクロス''' ''Southern Cross'') is the common term for the [[Gym Leader]]s from the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can't compete in the [[Orange League]] until they defeat all the Gym Leaders in the Orange Crew.
According to {{Tracey}}, young Trainers from the Orange Archipelago typically begin their {{pkmn|journey}} on [[Tangelo Island]] and work their way around the islands, winning Badges along the way. The Trainers' final destination is [[Pummelo Island]], where the top Gym Leader in the Orange Crew, called the Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader, can be battled. Those who defeat the Supreme Gym Leader in a [[Full Battle]] take the title of Honored Trainer{{tt|*|Champion in the dub}}, as well as the coveted [[Winner's Trophy]]. A photo featuring the winning Trainer with the trophy on hand and all six Pokémon that have participated in the Full Battle will be kept in the [[Palace of Victory]], together with the footprints of the Trainer and the Pokémon.


The Japanese title, Southern Cross, is a reference to the real [[wp:Crux|Southern Cross constellation]] that marks the southern sky. It consists of four main stars in a kite shape and a smaller one near the middle. It is often used as a symbol for [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real]] countries in the {{wp|southern hemisphere}}, such as {{wp|Australia}} and {{wp|Brazil}}, and also the Orange Archipelago, which is located south of the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. The locations of the four Orange League Gyms correspond with the main stars in the Southern Cross, with [[Pummelo Island]] near the center.
The Orange League has only been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|manga}} [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], as the Orange Archipelago is not accessible in any of the {{pkmn|games}}.
