Walker (Adventures)

Wayne (Japanese: ハヤテ Hayate) is a character seen in Round 124 of the Pokémon Adventures manga. A skilled Trainer, he is a friend of Cianwood City's Gym Leader, Chuck. Considered a vagabond, he prefers traveling around instead of settling down in one place. He has a feather he holds in his mouth, like hard-boiled characters typically do with a strand of grain, and wears goggles. Chuck seems to have a very high opinion of him, even claiming him to be "strong enough to beat any Gym Leader around" and that he "could easily become a Gym Leader". Little else is known about him.

Trivia

• Wayne's jacket features an emblem on its sleeves and back which resemble the Zephyr Badge, and has an actual Zephyr Badge on the necklace he wears. Specializing in Flying-type Pokémon, it is likely he has some connection to Falkner (whose Japanese name is similar to his own) or the Violet City Gym.
• In Coronis's translation of the manga, he was named Roy.
