However, he informed them that he couldn't battle that day because he was going to be one of the judges of the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival]]. He encouraged {{ashfr|the group}} to attend the festival and they rushed to reach the [[Great Marsh]] [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|train]]. Crasher Wake ran off once the train arrived at the next station, leaving Ash and his friends behind, but they were soon reunited at the festival grounds. After the festival, Crasher Wake said that [[Ash's Pikachu]] seemed to be a strong Pokémon after the latter defeated {{TRT}}, and said he would be happy to battle him the next day. | ||
The [[DP083|following day]], Ash had a three-on-three [[Gym]] | The [[DP083|following day]], Ash had a three-on-three [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Crasher Wake. Much to Crasher Wake's surprise, Pikachu quickly took his {{p|Gyarados}} out with a midair {{m|Volt Tackle}}. He sent out {{p|Quagsire}} next, while Ash substituted Pikachu for {{AP|Turtwig}} to overcome Quagsire's immunity to {{type|Electric}} attacks. Ash quickly recalled Turtwig to avoid a second {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, and sent out {{AP|Buizel}}. Quagsire was soon defeated after its {{m|Ice Beam}} froze Buizel's {{m|Aqua Jet}} into a hardened projectile. Buizel then took on Crasher Wake's final Pokémon, {{p|Floatzel}}, in a match of speed and power. Ash later recalled Buizel after it became {{status|Confusion|confused}} from a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack, so Pikachu was called back out. Pikachu was soon partially frozen by Floatzel's {{m|Ice Fang}}. Buizel then returned to the battlefield after recovering from its confusion, and it knocked Floatzel out with a close-range Water Pulse, earning Ash the {{Badge|Fen}}. | ||
Crasher Wake reappeared briefly in a flashback in ''[[DP178|For the Love of Meowth!]]'', and in a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. | |||

Crasher Wake is | Crasher Wake is a lively person with a booming voice. He has trained his Pokémon to have an increased stamina to take even powerful attacks like {{m|Giga Impact}} without sustaining much damage. Crasher Wake uses his [[Pastoria Gym|Gym]]'s water-based battlefield as another defense tactic, allowing his Pokémon to remain concealed and ambush the opponent's Pokémon in the process. | ||

Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks, such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He also knows a variety of different and powerful moves, adding to his artillery of defense. Crasher Wake claimed that {{p|Floatzel}} is powerful enough to endure even a {{m|Giga Impact}} by using his flotation sac. At one point Floatzel used his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's {{m|Water Pulse}} back at him, confusing him in the process. Later in the battle, Floatzel used Ice Fang to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after a Water Pulse that sent Floatzel crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out. | Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks, such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin.
