Lieutenant Surge, aka “The Lightning American” (Fumihiko Tachiki / Maddie Blaustein) is the gym leader of Vermilion Gym. His Pokemon specialization is in Electric-types. During his time in the US Army, his life was saved by Electric-type Pokemon. His love and respect from them stems from that experience, and he appreciates trainers who are gutsy.

Professor Juniper is the first female professor in the Pokémon series. Her specialisation is Pokémon origin and she is an old friend of Professor Oak, because who isn’t, right? Her clothes are pretty plain, especially when compared to the other Pokémon Profs.

Brock is the leader of the Pewter City gym and a master of rock-type Pokemon. He travels the countryside alongside his companions Misty and Ash, the latter of which he supports in the goal of becoming the Pokemon champion. That is, when he’s not falling in love with every girl he sees.

In Pokemon X and Y, Serena is a Pokemon trainer who, along with her Pokemon Fennekin, accompanies Ash Ketchum on some of his travels. She is a kind girl but openly rebels against her mother.
