## In The Game

Lee is the Ceolis League's Fighting-type Gym Leader, and the 8th leader that the player battles. Lee first appears at Premoggin Softlands, where he kicks open the door to the Battle Mall and announces its opening.

Inside the Battle Mall, Lee is making sure everything is set up and running correctly, since it just opened. He recommends that the player look around the Battle Mall themself and explore Premoggin Canyon while he's doing that. Lee will go outside and accept the player's challenge after the player has battled Barker at the Battle Mall and Jim at Premoggin Canyon.

Before the gym battle, Lee mentions that his epithet is "Instant Lee" because of how fast his kicks are. He then says that Premoggin Softlands is his training spot, and that a lot of people come to him asking Lee to teach them to kick like him, but that he's more interested in his own self-improvement than he is in teaching others. Lee believes that each individual is their best student and teacher, because no one else knows their strengths and weaknesses as well as they do. He then asks the player if they know theirs well enough to defeat him, and the battle commences.

After the battle, he gives the player the Kickboxing Badge and the TM for Low Sweep. He also comments on the player having eight badges now, saying that in some other regions they'd be on their way to the Elite Four, but here they're just approaching the halfway point. However, he also says he thinks the player has the potential to reach the top. Emily then challenges Lee.

After the player has spoken to Crolea and Kayla at the Pokemon Research Institute, if the player goes back to visit Lee he'll reveal that he lost to Emily too, and considers reevaluating his strategies.

At Crolea's birthday party, Lee says that the party is worth skipping leg day for, and that he'll work out twice as hard tomorrow.

During the final battle against Team Portal, Lee is in a fighting squad along with Aretha (plus the Infant Tree Infantry), Mulder, and Arnalda. In the sparring room, the squad is battling a group of Team Portal agents. After the player has defeated all of the other agents in the room that aren't battling the squad, the agents that were battling the squad have retreated.

## Quotes

 "*Well, here we are. As I told you before, my name's Lee. I'm also known as Instant Lee because of how fast my kicks are. This is where I train. A lot of people have come asking to be taught how to kick like me. Not just martial artists, but many different kinds of people. I'm not really the teaching type, though. I understand there's the expectation of Gym Leaders being role models, but I'm more interested in personal strength. That's why when Barker mentioned the idea of a Battle Mall, I approved it right away. It would give people something else to come here for. I really do think you can learn more by being your own student and teacher than from being someone else's. After all, no one knows your strengths and weaknesses better than you do. Do you know yours well enough to defeat me?*"

 "*The Kickboxing Badge is yours. The TM for Low Sweep is also yours. I see you have eight badges now. In some other regions, you'd be on your way to challenging the Elite Four. But here, you're one badge left to the halfway mark. I think you have the potential to reach the top, though.*"
