Summer break. Bored.
I would be a Grass trainer.
I love the grass type pokémon, and it shows because my favorite pokémon is Venasuar!

Well, I actually happen to be a Gym Leader on a league (gotta choose the type ourselves, but had to pass an initiation test to get in). Flying type Gym Leader. 
Team (right now at least):
Noivern
Skarmory
Dragonite
Gliscor
Talonflame
Togekiss

Fire. Its easily one of the best types out there.
Combined with Fighting, nothing really resists it except Dragons and a few outliers.
Just in case you were wondering the team:
Infernape
Blaziken
Talonflame
Arcanine
Volcarona
Chandelure/Torkoal
Every single one of these Pokemon are good. Even Torkoal.

I would use Flying types, because they are so versatile, or Water types, because I have always Water types to be tough to beat. <3
Flying:
Noivern
Talonflame
Staraptor
Hawlucha
Swellow
Gliscor
Water:
Empoleon
Vaporeon
Milotic
Kingdra
Lapras
Azumarill

I'm really torn between what type of Pokemon I'd want to use. I love Poison-types and always will, but I've absolutely fallen in love with Fairy-types too. I'll do potential lists for both types then.
But first, on average a gym leader will have three or four Pokemon in their team, and many of them are repeats or the unevolved versions of their final Pokemon. They also usually have a "signature Pokemon" on their team too. I'll write those in bold;
Poison - Koffing, Koffing, Weezing, Drapion
Fairy - Marill, Floette, Floette, Azumarill
Of course those would be my teams if I were a genuine Gym Leader in the games. I'd certainy get more crazy for more competitive battles, and I do when I build mono-type teams for fun. I had a mono-type Poison team in Gen IV that was Weezing, Venomoth, Swalot, Croagunk, Qwilfish and Drapion and when I was into Ice-types my team was Castform (knew Hail and some Ice moves as well as Weather Ball), Dewgong, Shellder, Jynx, Glalie and Weavile.
My Elite Four teams would be similar to what I've put for my mono-type teams kinda but of course Elite Four members only have five Pokemon on their teams and my Poison team would be updated to include Pokemon from all six generations. Again my signature Pokemon are in bold;
Poison - Weezing, Amoongus, Qwilfish, Dragalge, Drapion
Fairy - Flogres, Sylveon, Klefki, Togekiss, Azumarill
Just for fun I'll do my Champion team. If I was a Pokemon Champion I'd definitely have a mixed team consisting of six Pokemon;
Pinsir, Druddigon, Gourgeist , Drapion, Azumarill, Aggron (Mega Aggron)
Probably not the strongest team in the world and there are some definite flaws, but I love those Pokemon, so yah. If I was given a little more time to think my team through I would definitely pick some different ones, but that's how it would stand as of now.

Either Dark or Fire.
Dark is my favourite type and it still saddens me that even to this day there is still no Dark type gym leader. I would love to be a gym leader with Dark types. Ace would be Weavile because it is my favourite Pokémon.
Fire because I find most of them very appealing. This would be my secondary choice for a gym leader specialty type. Ace would be any fire starter not named Charizard. I really like fire starters.

Probably electric. My fave type. Maybe Fairy.

Fire or Poison
Fire: Magmortar, Charmeleon, Houndoom, Infernape and Charizard
Poison: Nidoking, Vileplume, Crobat, Tentacrule and Gengar

For me, Fire. It has always been my favorite type, and I always get the Fire starter on the first playthrough.
My Gym team would be:
-Ponyta
-Darumaka
-Talonflame
Ponyta was the staple Fire type of gen 4, Darumaka was devastating, and Talonflame is just fast and strong.
The Elite Four team would probably end up being:
-Infernape
-Chandelure
-Darmanitan
-Volcarona
Four of my favorites, combining pure power and sheer awesomeness, with some fast guys in there too.
Champion Team
-Volcarona
-Talonflame
-Infernape
-Delphox
-Magmortar
-Victini
Simple for in-game. Victini is the signature poke because, as the champion would technically be the best trainer in the region, and Victini brings victory so it would be a perfect fit.

Bug gym leader. Bugsy, Aaron, and the other bug users can eat their heart out:
-MegaPinsir
-Scizor
-Volcarona
-Galvantula
-Ninjask
-Heracross
And if legendaries were used, I'd be able to add Genesect to the team
