Simon

Description
Simon is the Gym Leader of Finderia Town. He is the first out of the 8 Gym Leaders to be defeated by the player. His gym is next to Finderia Cinema, where an egg can be found. He is known to be a schoolteacher at the Trainer's School and, in Pokepuff version 1, had a schoolboy guarding his gym.

Role
Simon's gym is considered the final challenge of Finderia town and must be completed before the player can move on. Simon himself will have Pokemon about equal level to the player's, making him a more challenging opponent than other trainers in Finderia town, who normally had lower level Pokemon than the player.
