Which gym leader/trial captain/kahuna would you train under?

If given the opportunity to train under one gym leader/trial captain/kahuna, who would you pick and why?

Burgh, entomologists unite!

Elesa or Fantina, for sure! I would love to learn Fantina's rhythmic dance moves and Elesa's splendid runway walk. Not only are both of these women accomplished gym leaders, but they are fashion icons as well! Tres fantastique, as Fantina would say!

marlon. just because of his gym's soothing ost in the games. actually, scratch that, i will be under the tutelage of the disappearing boss Giovanni. won't mind some extra money, and a membership with team rocket haha

Probably Maylene. She seems like she would be good at teaching the art of using fighting type Pokemon, and self defense!

For me, it would probably be Roark because it would be cool to go to the underground when we are not training!

brockkkkkkkkkkkkkk brockkkkk brockkkkkkkkkkk!!!

Probably Nanu! I love dark types after all so he's the only gymleader/kahuna/trial captain that's a dark type specialist.

Though if we're including E4 members I'd soooo go Grimsley.

I'd love to be Roxie's bassist for her band, so I'd pick her.

If Elite Four's were allowed though, I'd love to get in shape with either Bruno or Marshall!

I would probably train under Whitney! I bet she would have a lot of fairy types in the later gens, lol.

Pryce seems to know his stuff and be pretty dedicated, he'd be right up there.

I think working with Blue in the Viridian Gym would be interested- it would be fun to train alongside a former league Champion, especially one that defies the conventional type-themed teams.

I'd also like to selfishly work with an older Gym Leader like Pryce or Drayden, and hopefully gain enough knowledge from them that I'd be in line to take over the Gym when they're ready to retire.

Candice for me as she's one of the few Ice Type Gym Leaders except I'd bring in some Alolan variants such as Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Sandshrew to spice up her Gym routine. The practice against Alolan Sandshrew in particular would serve her well since Steel crushes Ice and seeing as Maylene typically spars with her, I can counter her Fighting Types with Alolan Ninetales while trying to find a decent counter with Alolan Sandslash.

Wallace for sure.

I want to live in Hoenn, it is my favorite region, and of all the places in the region where I could live, nowhere draws me in more than Sootopolis City. I find it the most beautiful and unique landscape in the region. I would never be able to resist going swimming and diving every day!

Wallace is also a star and a gentleman of social graces and sophisticated taste who would teach me all about the glamorous and exciting world of the contests. I am a coordinator foremost after all. I would proud to bring my own Milotic and learn from the master of Milotics. Wallace also just seems fun, crazy artsy and witty. At least I imagine working with him would be super creative and he would be charming and welcoming to his pupils.

Nanu.
He may only be the 3rd Kahuna, but he might be the most powerful when he puts his heart into it; after all, he is a Faller, a Kahuna, he is not a coward since he hangs around team Skull, and he might have connection somehow to Arceus, the reason I say that is because immediately after you defeat him, you can start to collect the Elemental Plates. Plus he is also my favorite supporting character from all the generations.

Claire, probably. It'd be nice to see the power of Dragon-types first hand and gain experience that way.

Lt. Surge, Jasmine or Roxie. One from each of my favorite types.
