Orion is the Gym Leader of Suntouched City's Gym, known officially as the Suntouched Gym. He specializes in mostly Fire-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.

This marks the end of Orion's role in the story at this point in the game's development
