'''Riley''' (Japanese: '''ゲン''' ''Gen'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Sinnoh]]. He specializes in Pokémon with high [[Stats|Attack]].


Apparently, [[Byron]] has previously asked Riley to become a [[Gym Leader]], though Riley politely refused, saying that Byron's son [[Roark]] should be considered first. <!--Riley claimed to members of [[Team Galactic]] that Iron Island actually belonged to him, suggesting he may be the legal owner of the mines and the one who reopened them as a place for wild Pokémon to live and trainers to train.-->
==In the core series games==
Riley is one of the [[Stat Trainers|five Trainers]] who can join with the main character during an event in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. Later, he can join the {{player}} in competition at Sinnoh's {{si|Battle Tower}} and, in Pokémon Platinum, can be battled at the [[Battleground]] after the [[Stark Mountain]] subquest. All of his Pokémon excel in the {{stat|Attack}} stat. He also appears in {{V2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in a similar capacity.


In the Battle Tower, Riley uses Pokémon that specialize in the physical attack stat.
Riley's first appearance in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum is at [[Iron Island]]. He helps the player to get through the deep mines on the island, and assists in the defeat of some {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}}s. After the Grunts have been defeated, Riley offers the player a [[Pokémon Egg]] that eventually hatches into a {{p|Riolu}}. In {{v2|Platinum}}, he will give the player {{HM|04|Strength}} before the player enters Iron Island's cave.

==Quotes==
First meeting in Iron Island<br>
{{main|Riley/Quotes}}
''"...You are? OK, you're (player's name). I'm Riley. I'm a Trainer, yes, and it is a bit odd that I would be training here. If you'd like, we could team up. The wild Pokémon here are restless. I'll heal up your Pokèmon if they get hurt."''<br>


==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Riley anime.png|thumb|250px|Riley in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Riley debuted in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''. He is an [[Aura Guardian]] in-training alongside his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}. Riley is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}} specializing in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and is currently staying on [[Iron Island]] for the study of the said type.


In Conversation<br>
He encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} while they were responding to a call for help from friend {{an|Barry}}. Riley stopped a rampaging {{p|Aggron}} from attacking the group with his mastery of [[aura]]. He ordered them to return to town and wait while he continued his investigation into why Iron Island's Steel Pokémon were behaving hostile. Though he allowed them to come along after seeing Ash's determination.
''"Ha ha! I'd have to agree with you. People training here would be those with too much time on their hands."''


''"This used to be a fairly thriving ore mine once upon a time. I guess the steel ore's played out. There's only Pokèmon here now."''
With the help of his Lucario, Riley and the others discovered that [[Team Galactic]] were behind the low frequency energy that irritated the Steel Pokémon. After {{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]] activated the Iron Ruins using the [[Spear Key]], Lucario quickly became affected by the frequency as well.


''"Have you met Byron? The Leader of Cancalve Gym? He's asked me to become a Gym Leader, but there's his son Roark to consider."''
In ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', Riley led the group to disrupt Team Galactic scheme. Ash and {{an|Brock}} fought through Mars's defences while Riley held off an angry {{p|Steelix}} from injuring {{an|Dawn}}, Barry and {{TRT}}, who were all trapped in a crevasse. [[Ash's Pikachu]] eventually destroyed Team Galactic's machine, which restored the Steel Pokémon to their normal selves.


''"Imagine what it would be like for a Steel-type Pokèmon user to battle a Steel type. Would that be like battling yourself, I wonder? I mean, it's a lot harder to defeat one's self than anyone else."''
However, in their tactical retreat Mars and her crew planted bombs throughout the Iron Ruins. Riley and his Lucario managed to trap the explosion using their aura and sent it away from the island, foiling Team Galactic's plan. Later he decided to help [[Professor Carolina]] study of the island's connections to [[Veilstone City]]'s meteorites and Spear Pillar.


''"What's going on here, though? The native Pokèmon are restless... I don't like this... Let's hurry."''<br>
====Character====
Riley remains level-headed and fearless in his approach to challenging situations. He is selfless and will always act to protect others from harm like he did on several occasions in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. His [[aura]] abilities are astoundingly powerful and allows him to create defensive shields, it also makes him quite perceptive of others.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Riley makes a cameo appearance in ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', where he is on a boat heading to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.


==In the Pokémon Special Manga==
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
{{special|Diamond}} meets Riley at Iron Island. [[Byron]] asks Riley to help Diamond train for his Gym match.
Riley later appears in ''[[PS378|Grumpy Gliscor]]'' where he saves {{adv|Diamond}} and Sailor [[Eldritch]] from crashing into a large boulder with his {{p|Lucario}}. He reveals that he is there to train Diamond in increasing his battling skills on [[Byron]]'s request. Once they arrive on [[Iron Island]], they have a test battle to see just where Diamond's skills are lacking in. After defeating Diamond, Riley deduces that his weakness is the lack of speed and takes him to cave in order to train.


===Pokémon===
After three days of training, Riley reveals Diamond's next task: to retrieve a Pokémon Egg. After finding the boss of the cave, a {{p|Steelix}}, injured from a battle, they realize that someone must have attacked it and go searching for them. As they search, Riley is attacked by a Pokémon and has his and Lucario's face covered with honey, blinding them. The attackers are revealed to be two {{tc|Roughneck}}s who were hired by [[Team Galactic]] to make a mess on the island and have stolen the Egg. With their technique that can prevent Aura users from finding them, Riley and Lucario are helpless to stop them but Diamond steps in their place. Diamond manages to defeat them without harming the Egg and with the ability to sense Aura again, Riley and Lucario finish the two off. The Egg hatches into a {{p|Riolu}} and Riley decides that Diamond has finally passed his test. After Diamond reveals that someone was targeting him, Riley realizes someone is spying on them. After knocking down a flying camera machine, Riley checks the machine and feels a malicious Aura emanating from it. Riley and Diamond then say their goodbyes.
Riley owns these Pokémon:
 
Later, Riley appears at the [[Spear Pillar]], having tracked the Aura on the camera machine to this location. Although the Aura he saw was that of the [[Advanced level Grunt]], it turns out there was an even darker one coming from deeper inside: the Aura belonging to [[Sird]]. Riley attacks Sird and the other {{tc|Commander}}s but they manage to escape.
 
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
Riley later appears at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} where he presents the machine to [[Palmer]] in hopes of being able to track Sird since the Aura he used to track her before had disappeared. Palmer then gives the machine to [[Thorton]] in hopes of his technological expertise will be of some help.
 
After Thorton finishes fixing the machine, Riley uses his Aura to lead everyone to where the owner is. He—along with Palmer, {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Cheryl]], and [[Mira]]—all set off to the Distortion World. Eventually, they manage to track the owner of the machine, the Advanced level Grunt. The Grunt, who had escaped from Team Galactic out of fear, takes them to the Distortion World, under Platinum's request.
 
Upon entering the Distortion World, everyone is separated due to the dimension's strange gravity. While the others land safely, Riley lands onto a floating island and is left alone. Later, he manages to meet up again with the others after the Legendary Pokémon get into a huge brawl.
 
He rescues Marley from getting crushed by a falling {{p|Regigigas}} that was put to sleep by {{p|Darkrai}}. When Charon tries to escape after getting his flying machine broken, Riley is left behind along with the others while Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum chase after Charon.
 
After Charon's defeat, Riley and everyone else who was left behind manages to escape unharmed. When Riley ponders where Darkrai went off to when the legendary Pokémon all begin to leave, the Advanced level Grunt shows it is flying to parts unknown.

** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Riley}}'s profile directly states that he can use aura.
* Riley has many similarities with [[Sir Aaron]] from ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. In addition to design similarities, both Trainers have a Lucario and can use Aura.

Riley (Japanese: ゲン Gen) is a Pokémon Trainer from Sinnoh. He specializes in Pokémon with high Attack.

In the core series games

Riley is one of the five Trainers who can join with the main character during an event in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Later, he can join the player in competition at Sinnoh's Battle Tower and, in Pokémon Platinum, can be battled at the Battleground after the Stark Mountain subquest. All of his Pokémon excel in the Attack stat. He also appears in HeartGold and SoulSilver in a similar capacity.

Riley's first appearance in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum is at Iron Island. He helps the player to get through the deep mines on the island, and assists in the defeat of some Team Galactic Grunts. After the Grunts have been defeated, Riley offers the player a Pokémon Egg that eventually hatches into a Riolu. In Platinum, he will give the player HM04 (Strength) before the player enters Iron Island's cave.

Apparently, Byron had previously asked Riley to become a Gym Leader, though Riley politely refused, saying that Byron's son Roark should be considered first.

Riley mentioned to the Team Galactic members that Iron Island belonged to him, suggesting he may be the owner of the mines and someone else reopened the island as a place for wild Pokémon to live as well as a place for people to train.

Riley in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Riley debuted in Steeling Peace of Mind!. He is an Aura Guardian in-training alongside his Lucario. Riley is also a Trainer specializing in Steel-type Pokémon and is currently staying on Iron Island for the study of the said type.

He encountered Ash and his friends while they were responding to a call for help from friend Barry. Riley stopped a rampaging Aggron from attacking the group with his mastery of aura. He ordered them to return to town and wait while he continued his investigation into why Iron Island's Steel Pokémon were behaving hostile. Though he allowed them to come along after seeing Ash's determination.

With the help of his Lucario, Riley and the others discovered that Team Galactic were behind the low frequency energy that irritated the Steel Pokémon. After Commander Mars activated the Iron Ruins using the Spear Key, Lucario quickly became affected by the frequency as well.

In Saving the World From Ruins!, Riley led the group to disrupt Team Galactic scheme. Ash and Brock fought through Mars's defences while Riley held off an angry Steelix from injuring Dawn, Barry and Team Rocket, who were all trapped in a crevasse. Ash's Pikachu eventually destroyed Team Galactic's machine, which restored the Steel Pokémon to their normal selves.

However, in their tactical retreat Mars and her crew planted bombs throughout the Iron Ruins. Riley and his Lucario managed to trap the explosion using their aura and sent it away from the island, foiling Team Galactic's plan. Later he decided to help Professor Carolina study of the island's connections to Veilstone City's meteorites and Spear Pillar.

Character

Riley remains level-headed and fearless in his approach to challenging situations. He is selfless and will always act to protect others from harm like he did on several occasions in Saving the World From Ruins!. His aura abilities are astoundingly powerful and allows him to create defensive shields, it also makes him quite perceptive of others.

History

Emerald arc

Riley makes a cameo appearance in Epilogue, where he is on a boat heading to the Battle Frontier.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Riley later appears in Grumpy Gliscor where he saves Diamond and Sailor Eldritch from crashing into a large boulder with his Lucario. He reveals that he is there to train Diamond in increasing his battling skills on Byron's request. Once they arrive on Iron Island, they have a test battle to see just where Diamond's skills are lacking in. After defeating Diamond, Riley deduces that his weakness is the lack of speed and takes him to cave in order to train.

After three days of training, Riley reveals Diamond's next task: to retrieve a Pokémon Egg. After finding the boss of the cave, a Steelix, injured from a battle, they realize that someone must have attacked it and go searching for them. As they search, Riley is attacked by a Pokémon and has his and Lucario's face covered with honey, blinding them. The attackers are revealed to be two Roughnecks who were hired by Team Galactic to make a mess on the island and have stolen the Egg. With their technique that can prevent Aura users from finding them, Riley and Lucario are helpless to stop them but Diamond steps in their place. Diamond manages to defeat them without harming the Egg and with the ability to sense Aura again, Riley and Lucario finish the two off. The Egg hatches into a Riolu and Riley decides that Diamond has finally passed his test. After Diamond reveals that someone was targeting him, Riley realizes someone is spying on them. After knocking down a flying camera machine, Riley checks the machine and feels a malicious Aura emanating from it. Riley and Diamond then say their goodbyes.

Later, Riley appears at the Spear Pillar, having tracked the Aura on the camera machine to this location. Although the Aura he saw was that of the Advanced level Grunt, it turns out there was an even darker one coming from deeper inside: the Aura belonging to Sird. Riley attacks Sird and the other Commanders but they manage to escape.

Platinum arc

Riley later appears at the Battle Frontier where he presents the machine to Palmer in hopes of being able to track Sird since the Aura he used to track her before had disappeared. Palmer then gives the machine to Thorton in hopes of his technological expertise will be of some help.

After Thorton finishes fixing the machine, Riley uses his Aura to lead everyone to where the owner is. He—along with Palmer, Platinum, Cheryl, and Mira—all set off to the Distortion World. Eventually, they manage to track the owner of the machine, the Advanced level Grunt. The Grunt, who had escaped from Team Galactic out of fear, takes them to the Distortion World, under Platinum's request.

Upon entering the Distortion World, everyone is separated due to the dimension's strange gravity. While the others land safely, Riley lands onto a floating island and is left alone. Later, he manages to meet up again with the others after the Legendary Pokémon get into a huge brawl.

He rescues Marley from getting crushed by a falling Regigigas that was put to sleep by Darkrai. When Charon tries to escape after getting his flying machine broken, Riley is left behind along with the others while Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum chase after Charon.

After Charon's defeat, Riley and everyone else who was left behind manages to escape unharmed. When Riley ponders where Darkrai went off to when the legendary Pokémon all begin to leave, the Advanced level Grunt shows it is flying to parts unknown.
