If you were looking for the first season of the Pokémon anime, Pokémon: Indigo League, see S01.

The Indigo League (Japanese: セキエイリーグ Sekiei League) is the regional Pokémon League of the Kanto region. It consists of a network of eight Gyms and the Elite Four. Depending on the context, the Indigo League can also be called the Kanto League or simply the Pokémon League.

Pokémon Trainers who earn eight Gym Badges from sanctioned Indigo League Gyms qualify to participate in Indigo League competitions, one of which is the Indigo Plateau Conference.

The Johto League and Indigo League share a single group of Elite Four and Champion; eight Badges from either region will allow a Trainer to battle the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau.

In the anime

Visquez, the substitute Gym Leader of Vermilion City

Gym Leaders

The Indigo League is notable in the anime for being the only one among all the regional Leagues to have undergone changes in its line-up of Gym Leaders during the course of the anime.

Champion

In Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution, Lance was introduced as the current League Champion of the Kanto region.

In the manga

The Eletric Tale of Pikachu

In Clefairy Tale, it was revealed that the conditions and rules of the Indigo League are noticably different from those shown in the anime and games. In addition to Badges, a Trainer can level up by catching Pokémon. The caught Pokémon are ranked from A to D, where a rare Pokémon like Clefairy is ranked as level A and some more common ones like Beedrill and Mankey are classified as Pokémon rank D. Giselle is an example of a Trainer who's leveled up this way.
