This makes Kingdra a solid choice for any trainer. Pokémon's original Kanto region and its first 151 pocket monsters are perhaps some of the most memorable, including the Water-type Gyarados.

As a dual Water/Steel-type, Empoleon would be a perfect main partner for Gohan. Tien Shinhan may be a diligent martial artist, but he possesses none of the traits needed to be a Pokémon Trainer.
