The Gym Leader is a character of the day who appeared in Great Bowls of Fire!. As the title suggests, he was the original Gym Leader of the Blackthorn Gym until his passing.
The Gym Leader was first mentioned by Kaburagi in Fangs for Nothin' after Dragonite fired a Hyper Beam at Ash and his friends when Team Rocket lied to it about protecting the Dragon Fang from the group, where he mentioned that it belonged to him and did not feel the same after he passed away. The Gym Leader than appeared in a flashback in the next episode where he was dedicated to protect the Dragon Holy Land. However, the original Gym Leader passed away and as a result, Dragonite volunteered to take the Gym Leader's place. Since his passing, other people including Clair became the new Gym Leader of the Blackthorn Gym as time went on.

| Dragonite belonged to the original Gym Leader of the Blackthorn Gym. As he passed away, Dragonite stepped in to become the protector of the Dragon Holy Land.
Dragonite first appeared where it saved Team Rocket from falling down a waterfall. Team Rocket told it that they were protecting the Dragon Fang from any thieves, when in truth they wanted to steal it themselves. Dragonite then fired a Hyper Beam to prevent Ash and his friends from getting to Team Rocket as it thought they were the thieves. Dragonite then took Team Rocket to the Dragon Shrine to prevent them from getting caught by the group, and gave the trio a large amount of fruit. After James unsuccessfully tried taking the Prayer Flame, it lit the landscape on fire and Dragonite came by and turned on the trio. Dragonite went in an attacking rage and attacked them. When Ash and his friends saved Team Rocket from an attack from Dragonite, Charizard and Dragonair battled it. Their attempts in getting it to snap out of its rage were unsuccessful as Dragonite kept attacking and became blinded in rage. However, after combining Charizard's Fire Spin with Dragonite's Hyper Beam, it caused an explosion which sent Dragonite falling to the river and turned it back to normal. Dragonite reappeared in a flashback in A Pokémon of a Different Color!. Dragonite's known moves are Hyper Beam, Outrage*, and Whirlwind*. | ||
