Orion is the Gym Leader of Suntouched City's Gym, known officially as the Suntouched Gym. He specializes in mostly Fire and Grass-type Pokémon. He gives the Thermal Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the game

Orion appears in Pokémon Insurgence as the Gym Leader of Suntouched City's Gym. This Gym is the first to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat him will be given the Thermal Badge, along with TM43 (Flame Charge).

Orion is known by the inhabitants of Suntouched City to be a skilled but odd battler. During his free time he is said to be found talking to a white rock that he keeps by his side at all times. People attribute this as a side effect from Orion's loneliness as a Gym Leader, but Orion himself insists that the rock has talked to him.

After the player defeats him in a Gym battle, Orion is paid a visit by Harmony followed by the Perfection Cultist Taen along with his Kyurem. While Taen doesn't explain his motives entirely, he makes it clear that the only reason he has come to Orion's Gym is to steal the white rock. As Taen assaults Orion, the white rock responds to the situation and awakens, revealing that it was Reshiram all along. Reshiram flees the scene shortly after awakening with the cultists in hot pursuit, and Harmony apologizes profusely for accusing Orion of being a delusional child. Reshiram returns to Orion's side soon after and Orion vows to keep its presence secret to reduce the risks of being paid another visit by the cultists in the future.

Orion appears later in the game in Anastasia's Hidden Workshop, which he is drawn to due to Reshiram being able to sense Zekrom's presence from that location. After Taen states that Zekrom is under his control, Taen taunts Orion by saying that he doesn't care about Zekrom at all if he's not willing to ante Reshiram in order to set Zekrom free. Orion takes Taen's bait and sends out Reshiram to battle the newly armored Zekrom only for it to lose to the new powers granted to Zekrom by its armor. Taen takes Reshiram as his prize for winning and disappears after being defeated by the player. Orion decides to travel to the Dragon Ruins in order to take Reshiram back.

At the Dragon Ruins, Orion appears after Nora and the player are able to defeat Taen and retrieves Reshiram after it separates from Kyurem. As Taen vows to take revenge and leaves, Orion is thankful for the player's assistance and offers to give the player extra training in his gym later should he/she ever need it.

After the player is named the third Augur, Orion calls them back to the Suntouched Gym to inform them Taen is attempted to summon the Original Dragon again. The player's next encounter with Orion is in Utira Library, where he and Gail discuss Taen's motives for trashing the library. After a brief period of contemplating Taen's possible plans, Orion realizes that Taen intends to repeat the procedure for summoning the Original Dragon and heads off to stop him followed shortly by Gail.

Orion appears at the Dragon Ruins, where along with Gail, enlists the assistance of the player as they attempt to stall and stop Taen from completing the ritual. Though the player and Gail tag-battle versus Taen fails to stop him from summoning the Original Dragon, the battle does buy enough time for Gail to Zygarde in its Complete Forme moments before Taen succeeds and interrupt the ritual. Gail loses her ability to control Zygarde as it continues on to easily defeat Taen's Mewtwo and Zekrom. Orion begs the player to stop Zygarde from harming Reshiram. After Reshiram is saved, Orion realizes he may not have the power to protect it, leaving Reshiram in stone form for the player to take.
