+The '''Orange Crew''' (Japanese: '''サザンクロス''' ''Southern Cross'') is the common term for the [[Gym Leaders]] from the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. [[Pokémon trainer|Trainers]] can't compete in the [[Orange League]] until they defeat all the Gym Leaders in the Orange Crew.
-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 the [[Gym Leaders]] of the [[Orange Crew]]. It has been established for at least 300 years. Less commonly in Japan, it is known as the '''Southern League''' because of its ties with the [[wp:Southern Cross|Southern Cross]].
-The Orange League is perhaps the least conventional of all the regional Pokémon Leagues, as it focuses less on [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battling]] and more on how a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] interacts with his or her individual [[Pokémon]] in lots of different circumstances. Orange League trainers are said to be tougher than those in the [[Indigo League|Indigo Pokémon League]]. However, meeting the requirements to enter Orange League [[Pokémon League#championship competition|competitions]] is a much simpler task; trainers must earn only four [[Badge]]s instead of usual eight.
+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|southern hemisphere]], such as [[wp:Australia|Australia]] and [[wp:Brazil|Brazil]], and also the Orange Archipelago, which is located south of the [[Kanto|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.
-According to [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], young Pokémon trainers from the Orange Islands typically begin their Pokémon journey on [[Tangelo Island]] and work their way around the archipelago, winning Badges along the way. The trainers' final destination is [[Pummelo Island]], where Orange League competitions are held. Competing in the Orange League is different from competing in other Pokémon Leagues. Trainers may freely challenge the top Gym Leader in the Orange Crew, called the [[Head Leader]], at any time. Those who can defeat the [[Head Leader]] in a [[Full battle]] take the title of [[League Champion]], as well as the coveted [[Winner's Trophy]].
+==Orange Crew Gym Leaders==
+The Gym Leaders of the Orange Crew include:
+* [[Cissy]] of [[Mikan Island]] (West)
+* [[Danny]] of [[Navel Island]] (East)
+* [[Rudy]] of [[Trovita Island]] (South)
+* [[Luana]] of [[Kumquat Island]] (North)
+* [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] of [[Pummelo Island]]
-The Orange League is only featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] and [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|manga]], as the Orange Archipelago is not accessible in any of the [[Pokémon games|games]].
