:''"...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!

You are that mask-fanatic Trainer I saw at the [[Celadon Department Store|Celadon Dept. Store]]! I heard about the great waterfall near {{ci|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>!"''

He also reappeared briefly in flashbacks in [[DP120]], ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]'', and ''[[DP180|League Unleashed!]]''.

 

Floatzel also appeared alongside Wake during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Crasher Wake is introduced in ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]''. {{adv|Platinum}} begins to battle him for the {{Badge|Fen}} in ''[[PS365|Crafty Carnivine]]''; their battle concludes in ''[[PS366|Floatzel and Jetsam]]'', during which [[Platinum's Empoleon]] is able to defeat his Floatzel, only to lose to Quagsire. Afterwards, the [[Tru|Torterra]] she borrowed from {{adv|Diamond}} defeats the second Pokémon with its {{m|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.  

Like in the games, he pays for the facilities and maintenance of [[Pastoria City]] with the prize money he earns.

|desc={{p|Floatzel}} was the first Pokémon sent against Platinum. Since its opponent was {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}}, a {{type|Water}}, 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 {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, sending it to fly away, knocking it out.

Floatzel's only known move is {{m|Rain Dance}}, and its Ability is {{a|Swift Swim}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké  

|desc={{p|Quagsire}} was the second and last Pokémon chosen by Wake. Upon being released, it delivered a powerful {{m|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 {{adv|Diamond}}'s [[Tru]]. After what looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed its skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite its height and weight) and threw him to the water. However, what it 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 {{tc|Sailor}}s 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 {{m|Giga Drain}}.

Quagsire's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, and its Ability is {{a|Damp}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké  

He makes a brief cameo in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys]]'', where he is defeated by [[Hareta]]. In ''[[DPA11|The Legendary Pokémon, Captured]]'' Wake and other Gym Leaders appear at Lake Valor saying they will take care of things there and that he should worry about protecting the legendary Pokémon. He appears in ''[[DPA12|A Battle Of Wills]]'' as Byron comes to, he asks Wake what's going on to find that Hareta is battling Saturn. In ''[[DPA13|The Battle Rages On]]'', Wake is amazed by the size of the wave made by [[Hareta's Piplup]]. In ''[[DPA37|Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon]]'', he along with the other Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.
