Crasher Wake (& Floatzel)

A Gym Leader who uses Water-type Pokémon, Crasher Wake is beloved by his many fans for his passionate performances.

Appearance: Crasher Wake is a middle-aged man, who has a patch of black hair and beard. He doesn't wear a shirt, but he wears orange/blue bracers and boots. His blue pants with orange outlines have black appendages on his legs, which resemble Swampert's appearance. He also wears a blue mask with white wings-like appendages. Crasher Wake is a very strong-built man.

Personality: Boisterous and dramatic, Crasher Wake is a very extroverted Trainer of sorts. He is extremely adamant in his beliefs, going so far in his training to the point of enduring the raw power of a heavy waterfall to prove it. Despite not being a Fighting type specialist, Crasher Wake enjoys proving his muscle even in defeat.

Partner Pokémon: Floatzel.

Floatzel's appearance: Floatzel is a plump, orange, weasel/river otter-like Pokémon. It has a cream underbelly, two tails, a yellow floatation device looping around its body, two blue fins on its arms, orange fins on its head, and short legs. Male Floatzel have two spots on their back while females only have one. Crasher Wake's Floatzel is male.

Floatzel floats using its well-developed flotation sac. It assists in the rescues of drowning people.

Floatzel knows Waterfall, Water Pulse, and Aqua Jet.

Waterfall: Floatzel releases a stream of water at the opponent from its mouth and hits the target with a blow packing the power of fish traveling up waterfalls.

Water Pulse: Floatzel puts its hands together and forms a blue ball. It then throws the ball at the floor and it glides on the ground across a stream of water at the opponent, hitting it; or, Floatzel throws the ball at the ground and it turns into a huge wave of water, with the wave going and hitting the opponent. On occasion, this will confuse the opponent.

Aqua Jet: Floatzel's body becomes surrounded by water and it shoots itself like a rocket at the opponent. To move, it spins its tails like a propeller.

Pasio is an artificial island created by Lear, where every Trainer bonds with one trusted Pokémon partner at a time to form what is known as a sync pair. These sync pairs fight together in Pasio’s signature 3-on-3 team battles. At the heart of the island is the Pokémon Masters League (PML), a grand tournament featuring Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Champions, and other notable Trainers from every region. To qualify, participants must defeat PML Leaders across Pasio and earn five badges while adventuring with their partnered Pokémon. Centra City is the island’s largest hub, hosting a Pokémon Center complete with a shop and café. Other major locations include the Battle Villa, a multi-floor challenge facility for endurance-based combat, and several specialized arenas scattered across the island. The most prestigious battleground is the Champion Stadium, where the final rounds of the PML are fought. Meanwhile, the Trainer Lodge serves as a social space where Trainers gather, interact, and strengthen their partnerships.
