===Spotlight On: S.S. Anne===
===Character of the day: Volkner===
* The '''S.S. Anne''' or '''St. Anne''' (Japanese: '''サント・アンヌごう''' ''S.S. St. Anne'') is a well-known luxury cruise liner which sails the world, stopping annually in [[Vermilion City]], [[Kanto]].  
* Volkner (Japanese: '''デンジ''' ''Denzi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. He hands out the {{badge|Beacon}} Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.  
* This ship contains many Pokémon Trainers, including many {{tc|Gentleman|Gentlemen}} and {{tc|Sailor}}s. In Generation III, in one room on the first floor, a lady will restore a Trainer's party on hand to full health. Before reaching the captain's cabin, players will encounter {{ga|Blue}} and must battle him.  
* At first, Volkner was depressed as he had not had a worthy challenge in a while and was therefore considering challenging the [[Elite Four]]. He also used his spare time to renovate the gym which strained the city's power and caused a blackout.
* The S.S. Anne appeared as the St. Anne in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' and ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.  
* Volkner made his anime debut in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'' where he, like in the games, has grew bored of challenging trainers so he resorted to giving badges for free. However, with the help of {{Ash}}, Volkner had a change of heart and accepted his challenge.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]] the S.S. Anne is a huge cargo ship owned by Lt. Surge that arrives in Vermilion City port once every month.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Volkner was rather distant to all the other characters and, again like the games, was bored of battles.
* In the programming code of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|Diamond and Pear]]l, an item called "S.S. Ticket" has been found. According to its in-bag description, it is a "ticket for the Luxury Liner S.S. Anne," which means that S.S. Anne was possibly meant to reappear in [[Sinnoh]] or that {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} were built off a heavily modified Generation III game engine.  
* Volkner has had one card in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] series. His card, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Volkner's Philosophy|98}}, was part of the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion and is a {{TCG|Supporter card}}. Playing it allows the player to discard a card and draw from the deck until he or she has six cards.
* In Pokémon Black and White, when [[Shauntal]] is battled for a second time, she will occasionally quote a book that she wrote which says,''"'Do you know Thunderbolt?' was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner."''
