>>58037070According to the Teraleak, originally in the post game of SM you were supposed to help create the gyms for Alola now that the league is up and running, he was one of the characters you would recruit to be the Dragon-type gm leader, I think his badge was the Determination Badge or something like that.
I recall Ilima, Sina/Dexio, Guzma and Plumeria were some of the other gym leaders and that the gym badges were names of emotions/feelings and not to do with the type, I don't remember.
He's likely just a leftover from that.
