Crasher Wake uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the {{Badge|Fen}}, {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone to not take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], {{ga|Barry}}. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Crasher Wake reveals that he was born and raised in the Sinnoh region, even though everyone thinks otherwise.

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. Crasher Wake claimed that {{p|Floatzel}} is powerful enough to endure even a {{m|Giga Impact}} by using his flotation sac. At one point he used his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's {{m|Water Pulse}} back at him, confusing him. Later in the battle he used Ice Fang to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a Water Pulse attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.

He then had his {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Floatzel}} to refill the lake using {{m|Rain Dance}}. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him ''his''), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker {{p|Buizel}}, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him.

Crasher Wake even has his own theme song which he promised to sing to Pearl; this doesn't happen due to the Sinnoh Gym Leaders' efforts to stop [[Cyrus]] at the Spear Pillar, which Wake was involved in; the Gym Leaders are caught up in a blast. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, while Wake recovers from his injuries, Pearl finally manages to hear Wake's song through a jukebox.

Crasher Wake (Japanese: マキシマム仮面 Maximum Mask), otherwise known simply as Wake (Japanese: マキシ Maxi), is the Gym Leader of Pastoria City's Gym, known officially as the Pastoria Gym. He hands out the Fen Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Water-type Pokémon.

In the games

Crasher Wake uses Water-type Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the Fen Badge, TM55 (Brine) and are able to use Defog outside of battle. In addition, in Diamond and Pearl, if he is the fourth Gym Leader defeated, all Pokémon up to level 50 will obey their Trainer. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone to not take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use Defog to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

He later appears in the Battle Zone, talking to the player's rival, Barry. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. In Black 2 and White 2, Crasher Wake reveals that he was born and raised in the Sinnoh region, even though everyone thinks otherwise.

In Platinum Version, he is first met when players try to enter Veilstone Gym. In Pastoria City, he sings his own theme song, and the rival wants him to be his mentor (much to his dismay). Wake also acts when a Galactic Bomb goes off at the Great Marsh. On Stark Mountain, he mentions that he'll be entering a tournament. Wake can also be battled again, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the Battleground. His wrestling matches will occasionally be shown on the TV as part of the Pokémon Variety Hour, which he always wins.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he appears in the Celadon Department Store to give the player some Sinnoh starter accessories. He can be found again later, on Route 47.

In Black 2 and White 2, he appears on Route 18 staring out into the ocean. Once the player talks to him, he decides to head to Driftveil City and takes his leave.

Veilstone CityPt
"The ring is my roiling sea. ♪
The towering waves shaped me.
Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!
Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!
I'm the tidal wave of power to wash you away!
Put out the fire, Crasher Wake!
Run from electricity, Crasher Wake!
Ah, ah, aaaah!
The ring is my sea. ♪"
"Hello, dude and young lady! You're challenging the Gym Leader, are you? Let me tell you now, she's young, but she's a born genius. I tried training with her, and I was stunned by how tough she was! Whoops! I'd better tell you who I am! I'm the triple-threat Gym Leader in Pokémon, wrestling, and song. I'm Crasher Wake of Pastoria Gym! We'll meet again!"
Pastoria Gym
  • Before battle
"Welcome! I don't get challenged very often! The glory you are now beholding is the Pastoria Gym Leader! That's right, I'm Crasher Wake! My Pokémon were toughened up by stormy white waters! They'll take everything you can throw at them and then pull you under! Victory will be ours! Come on, let's get it done!"
  • After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
"Hey! That there! That was a good move!"
  • When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
"This is where it gets exciting!"
  • Upon being defeated
"Hunwah! It's gone and ended! How will I say this... I want more! I wanted to battle a lot more!"
  • After being defeated
"It seems the undertow pulled me under... But I had a great time battling with you! You've earned this!"
"You need that Fen Badge to use the hidden move Defog outside of battle. This is a special reward from me in recognition of your team's power."
"That TM55 contains the move Brine. It inflicts double the damage on targets with less than half their HP left. Use it to end battles decisively!"
  • If talked to again
"The styles of battling and winning are as widely varied as Trainers are. Do you want to know how I battle? I battle so I can say I had fun at the end, whether I win or lose!"
Pastoria CityPt
"What's this racket, then? Oh, it's you two."
"...Listen, kid. I know your father. I won't deny that. But I don't recall ever taking you on as an apprentice. Not in the least. Besides, you two don't need me. You can become strong on your own without being my apprentice."
"WHAAAAT?! No one messes with Pastoria! Not on my watch!"
"So, where's this Galac..."
"YOU! What've you done?!"
"The Great Marsh is invaluable... You two! Do NOT follow me! Don't let anyone else in, either! There'd be big trouble if there's any of that bomb left!"
Route 227
"Oh, if it isn't <player>! It's been a while! You've grown so tough that you're training out here now... Everyone keeps getting tougher and tougher... And, in doing that, they develop closer bonds with their Pokémon..."
"What? Are you still having trouble understanding? I don't for a second ever recall accepting you as an apprentice! I mean, if it's wrestling moves, I can show you all you like, but..."
"...How'd I get involved in this...? So, anyway, <player>. You're going to Stark Mountain? Even the wild Pokémon there are very, very tough... If your Pokémon aren't well trained, they'll have a miserable time... Then again, that kind of challenge is an exciting prospect... But no matter what, you'd better be fully prepared! I've got to get ready for another tournament. Farewell!"

"I've been thinking, though. That pal of yours, <rival>, and Palmer are father and son all right. I mean, just seeing them, they're hilariously alike. Their overall atmosphere and their mannerisms and such... Seeing them cracks me up."

Scenario 2

  • Before battle
"All right! How's it going? My Pokémon were toughened up by stormy white waters! They'll take everything you can throw at them and then pull you under! Victory will be ours! Come on, let's get it done!"

"What? That's not enough? You're quite a negotiator for your age... All right, I'll give you this, too!"

"A masked guy who looks great in front of a huge torrential waterfall... That's me, Crasher Wake! Who dares to talk to me so freely? Oh! You are that mask-fanatic Trainer I saw at the Celadon Dept. Store! I heard about the great waterfall near Cianwood and decided to come see it. This waterfall is awesome! No human or Pokémon can survive without water, yet the same water can sometimes cause great suffering. You must be a Trainer from this region, right? I hope you'll become a Trainer with the qualities of water--strong, tough to beat, yet refreshing. Good luck, mask-fanatic <player>!"

Crasher Wake and his Pokémon in the anime

Crasher Wake debuted in Cream of the Croagunk Crop!, where he met Ash, Dawn, and Brock in front of his Gym, but said that he couldn't battle that day because he was going to be one of the judges of the Pastoria Croagunk Festival. After the festival, Wake said that Ash's Pikachu seemed to be a strong Pokémon, and said he would be happy to battle him the next day.

In A Crasher Course in Power!, Ash defeated Crasher Wake without losing a single Pokémon and earned the Fen Badge.

He also reappeared briefly in a flashback in For the Love of Meowth!, and in a cameo in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Crasher Wake's Gyarados
Gyarados
The first Pokémon used by Crasher Wake during the Gym battle against Ash was his Gyarados which went up against Pikachu. Gyarados showed its strength by standing up to Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but was defeated when Pikachu combined the speed it picked up by falling alongside a Volt Tackle.

It also reappeared briefly in Mamie's flashback in For The Love Of Meowth.

Gyarados's known moves are Dragon Rage and Bite.

Crasher Wake's Quagsire
Quagsire
Crasher Wake used Quagsire as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against Ash, and it proved itself to be very tricky, able to counteract Turtwig's high speed with its excellent hearing and as Quagsire had attacks perfectly suited to battle Grass-types, Ash was forced to recall it.

Quagsire next went up against Buizel and although Quagsire was able to absorb Buizel's SonicBooms with its bulky body, it was knocked out by the sheer force of Ice Aqua Jet.

It also reappeared briefly in Mamie's flashback in For The Love Of Meowth.

Quagsire's known moves are Sludge Bomb and Ice Beam.

Crasher Wake's Floatzel
Floatzel
Floatzel is Crasher Wake's main Pokémon. He was introduced right after Ash's Buizel got into a fight with Pikachu. Upon seeing his evolved form, Buizel became hyped up for battle and a chance to prove himself to Ash.

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. Crasher Wake claimed that Floatzel is powerful enough to endure even a Giga Impact by using his flotation sac. At one point he used his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's Water Pulse back at him, confusing him. Later in the battle he used Ice Fang to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a Water Pulse attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.

He also reappeared briefly in flashbacks in For The Love Of Meowth and League Unleashed!; as well as making a brief appearance alongside Wake during the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Floatzel's known moves are Razor Wind, Bulk Up, Whirlpool, and Ice Fang.

Crasher Wake with his Floatzel and Maylene with her Riolu
Crasher Wake without his mask

Crasher Wake is introduced in A Skuffle with Skorupi. Platinum begins to battle him for the Fen Badge in Crafty Carnivine; their battle concludes in Floatzel and Jetsam, during which Platinum's Empoleon is able to defeat his Floatzel, only to lose to Quagsire. Afterwards, the Torterra she borrowed from Diamond defeats the second Pokémon with its Giga Drain when Wake concluded Platinum drowned, only to rise back up from the other side and counterattack. Afterwards, he is impressed by Platinum's adaptability and awards her the Fen Badge.

Later, he reappears in Lake Valor to save Rad Rickshaw and Pearl after the Galactic Bomb's explosion dried the lake, and Saturn defeated the latter. He then had his Quagsire and Floatzel to refill the lake using Rain Dance. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him his), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker Buizel, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him.

Like in the games, he pays for the facilities and maintenance of Pastoria City with the prize money he earns. Crasher Wake even has his own theme song which he promised to sing to Pearl; this doesn't happen due to the Sinnoh Gym Leaders' efforts to stop Cyrus at the Spear Pillar, which Wake was involved in; the Gym Leaders are caught up in a blast. In the Platinum arc, while Wake recovers from his injuries, Pearl finally manages to hear Wake's song through a jukebox.

Crasher Wake's Gyarados
Gyarados
Gyarados was very briefly seen during his presentation, where he was riding on it. It was not used in the Gym match against Platinum (as two of three Pokémon was the rule of the Gym).

None of Gyarados's moves are known.

Debut A Skuffle with Skorupi
Crasher Wake's Floatzel
Floatzel
Floatzel was the first Pokémon sent against Platinum. Since his opponent was Empoleon, a Water-type, he proposed, and Platinum agreed, that the battle take place in the pool. After the initial part was just a struggle, with hits and bites from both parts, they then jumped into the water to demonstrate their speed underwater. Following an extremely fast chase, Empoleon was able to hit Floatzel with her Vacuum Wave, sending him flying away, knocking him out.

It later appeared with Quagsire in Bogging Down Quagsire, where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up Lake Valor.

Floatzel's known moves are Aqua Jet and Rain Dance, and his Ability is Swift Swim.

Debut A Skuffle with Skorupi
Crasher Wake's Quagsire
Quagsire
Quagsire was the second and last Pokémon chosen by Wake. Upon being released, he delivered a powerful Blizzard to Empoleon, to which the Emperor Pokémon responded with the same attack. The cluster of both snowstorms eventually caused Empoleon to hold back and faint. Then she sent Diamond's Tru. After what looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed his skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite his height and weight) and threw him to the water. However, what he didn't notice (and was ready knock Torterra with a Blizzard) was that Platinum had her Great Marsh overalls attached to Tru's spikes, and therefore was thrown too. Upon noticing it, Wake send his Sailors to rescue her, but just the overalls was underwater. With this, the Water Fish Pokémon didn't shoot the Blizzard and was finished off with a Giga Drain.

Quagsire later appeared with Floatzel in Bogging Down Quagsire, where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up Lake Valor.

Quagsire's known moves are Blizzard and Rain Dance, and his Ability is Damp.

Trivia

  • His Japanese Leader title is ウォーター ストリーム マスクマン.
  • Crasher Wake's use of his prize money to help the disadvantaged is a common cliché in tales of fictional luchadores, inspired by the real-life luchador Fray Tormenta.
  • Crasher Wake is a Water-type trainer with a pastime involving fighting, in comparison with Brawly, a Fighting-type trainer with a pastime involving water.
  • Despite the game claiming that he uses Defog for Pastoria City, none of the Pokémon he uses in battle can learn it. Though it is possible he has a Pokémon capable of using it he doesn't use in battle, he would not be the only Gym Leader to do so if this was the case, as Fantina has a Drifblim she only uses in Contests and not battles.
  • With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being fourth, Crasher Wake is now fifth in the line-up.
  • Crasher Wake is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader whom Ash defeated without losing any of his own Pokémon during the match.
  • Crasher Wake is the only Gym Leader who doesn't present himself with his real name, but rather his stage name.
  • In the anime, like some of the characters in the Diamond & Pearl series, he has a catchphrase he uses when calling out a Pokémon. His catchphrase is On the water.
