Marlon (Japanese: シズイ Shizui) is the Gym Leader of Humilau City's Gym, known officially as the Humilau Gym. He specializes in Water-type Pokémon. He gives the Wave Badge to Trainers who defeat him.
In the core series games
Marlon appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 as the eighth and final Gym Leader that the player challenges. He is a big-hearted Pokémon Trainer who gives passionate advice. Marlon also seems to be a very relaxed and carefree man, as shown by his obliviousness as to who Team Plasma are and what they do, even asking if Team Plasma are bad people.
Marlon specializes in Water-type Pokémon. Upon defeating him, he will reward the player with a Wave Badge and TM55 (Scald). Outside of battle, Marlon is a fisherman who catches Water-type Pokémon which he would later use in future Gym battles.
Upon arriving in Humilau City, Marlon is absent from the Gym, and the player is sent to find him. The player meets Marlon just as they head north of the Gym, in which he returns to it and awaits a Gym battle. After the Gym battle, Marlon jumps into the ocean and swims away. Upon exiting the Gym, Hugh walks up and congratulates the player on gaining all eight of Unova's Gym Badges, and then their attention turns to Team Plasma, during which Marlon walks up and asks about them. He then heads off to the Seaside Cave to find the Plasma Frigate. Later on, at Route 21, he is seen jumping off the Plasma Frigate after lowering the boarding plank, and then heads back to the Gym, leaving the player and Hugh to deal with Team Plasma.
During the post-game, Marlon joins the other Gym Leaders in participating in the Pokémon World Tournament.

History
Black & White arc
Marlon debuted in Hallway Hijinks, where he participated as a competitor in the Pokémon League. After battling his way through Victory Road, he eventually made it into the top 8. In The Tournament Continues, Marlon faced Hood Man in the quarterfinals. Despite managing to disable the moves of Hood Man's Beheeyem, Marlon ended up losing, allowing Hood Man to advance to the next round.
In Something Suspicious, Marlon attempted to head back home, only to be approached by White. When asked on what he knew about Hood Man, Marlon revealed his opponent had managed to somehow enter the League without collecting a single Gym Badge. White decided to expose Hood Man for cheating, but was stopped by Marlon, who was perfectly fine with losing since his opponent was a strong Trainer. Marlon stated that he found Cheren more suspicious and suggested that White begin investigating him next.

In Pink Slip, Marlon and Benga helped rescue Cheren's class and Roxie from Castelia City, which had been frozen by the Plasma Frigate.
