He had an affinity for electric-type Pokémon ever since he used a Thunderbolt move to win his first gym badge, so that he would never forget how happy he was when he won. Volker was known for being good friends with [[Flint (Pokemon)|Flint]] of the Elite Four as well as for being Sinnoh's top gym leader. However, Volkner eventually lost his passion for Pokémon battling due to a lack of good challengers coupled with problems caused by Sunyshore's blackout. This led him to begin renovating the gym, although this also caused some of Sunyshore's residents to complain that he was wasting too much electricity on the gym when the city needed it. |

Volkner would be found by the trainer at the top of the Vista Lighthouse and agree to let them challenge him. However, due to his need for thrilling battles he declared that if this battle could not restore his passion he would leave Sunyshore because it did not need him and go on to challenge the Elite Four. Volkner lost the battle to Lucas/Dawn, but it was successful in restoring his battling spirit. He remarked never that he could not remember having as much fun in a battle and felt sure the trainer's team would keep on going to new heights, giving the victor the Beacon Badge and TM 57: Charge Beam. |

Volkner and Flint would engage Lucas/Dawn and [[Pearl]] in a double battle upon their arrival to test them. After being defeated, Flint was left speechless while Volkner spoke for him congratulating them on their progress and then leaving to escort Flint home. Atferwards in ''Platinum'' he would possibly appear in the Battleground, where he could be challenged to a rematch. He and Flint would also visit the player's villa on random days, and Volkner would comment about ideas to renovate the gym, his background as well as his relationship to Flint, simply saying that there was "no love lost" between the two. |

− | + | *Volkner was introduced in two subsequent episodes of the Pokémon anime. The first episode showed his past, and that he had been rivals with Flint since childhood and that they had grown into friends. He was shown to be responsible for most of Sunyshore's technological advances, but eventually became bored with battling and began giving out Beacon Badges for free until Ash convinced him to accept his challenge by battling Flint. The next battle centered on Ash's battle with Volkner until it was interrupted when [[Team Rocket]] stole Sunyshore Tower. Ash was able to defeat them, but he and Volkner than agreed that they would wait until the gym and tower were repaired to have a rematch. | |
