Riley (Japanese: ゲン Gen) is a Pokémon trainer from Sinnoh. He is one of seven trainers who can join with the main character during an event in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Later, he can join the player in competition at Sinnoh's Battle Tower. He first appears at Iron Island. He uses a Lucario and seems to be designed after Sir Aaron. Riley will give the player a Riolu egg after finishing the event.

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.

In the Battle Tower, Riley uses Pokémon that specialize in the physical attack stat.

Quotes

First meeting in Iron Island
"...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."

Meeting the Team Galactic Grunts
"I get it now. You're responsible for agitating the Pokémon. I don't care what good reason you may have, but I don't want you bringing any trouble into my mine."
(After Grunts' reply)
"To share in all the joys and all the sorrows... This is how all the Trainers and Pokémon live in Sinnoh! I won't allow anyone to deny that code of ethics! Come on, (player)! This is one battle we cannot lose!"

After winning the battle
"Thanks. You really helped me out. Listen, I have a Pokémon Egg here. Would you take it with you?"
(Accept)
"Thanks! I'd like you to show the Pokémon that's inside the Egg all sorts of new places. Spending time with you was very enjoyable. I intend to test my skills in other places from now on. Let's meet again! Take care on the way out."
