Character of the day: Volkner
- 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 Beacon Badge Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Electric-type Pokémon.
- 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.
- Volkner made his anime debut in 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, Volkner was rather distant to all the other characters and, again like the games, was bored of battles.
- Volkner has had one card in the TCG series. His card, Volkner's Philosophy, was part of the Rising Rivals expansion and is a 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."
