- "The ring is my rolling 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." - — Crasher Wake, Platinum.
Crasher Wake serves as the Gym Leader at the Pastoria City Gym. Wake specializes in Water-type Pokémon, and holds the Fen Badge for the trainers that defeat him.
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.

Trivia
- Wake's name comes from the "wake" of an object in water; e.g. the wake of a boat is the disturbance it makes as it travels through water. This ties in with Wake's water type usage and also could stand for the impression he makes with his water Pokémon.
- Crasher refers to 'Surfer'.
- He looks similar to Chuck.
- While Wake is a Water-type expert that enjoys wrestling (Fighting), Brawly is a Fighting-type expert that enjoys surfing (Water).
- Wake appears in Soul Silver and Heart Gold, near the Safari Zone. He also appears in White 2 and Black 2, on Route 18.
