The '''Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ヘッドリーダー''' ''Head Leader'') is the top-ranked [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Orange Crew]] and serves as the final obstacle in the [[Orange League]]. Those who defeat the Supreme Gym Leader in a [[Pokémon battle]] earn the [[Winner's Trophy]], become the League Champion, and are honored in the [[Palace of Victory]]. The term "Head Leader" is not used in the English-language dub and Drake is merely implied to be a fifth Gym Leader; the distinction is clear in the original Japanese version. It was translated as "Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader" in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

In battle, the Supreme Gym Leader must obey specific rules that give an advantage to the challenger. For example, the Supreme Gym Leader is unable to switch Pokémon mid-battle while his opponent is free to do so at any time.
