Pokémon Champion

A Pokémon Champion or League Champion (Japanese: リーグ優勝者 League Champion) is the highest known level of rank for a Pokémon trainer. It usually refers to a trainer who has completed a Pokémon League by collecting all the necessary Badges, and either winning a regional Pokémon tournament or defeating the Elite Four and the previous Pokémon Champion. There is usually only one Pokémon Champion per region at a time. It is assumed that the Champion must defend their title against challengers, although this is never explicitly stated.

In the games, Kanto and Johto share a League Champion.
