Volkner

Volkner serves as the Gym Leader for the Sunyshore City Gym. Volkner specializes in -type Pokémon, and holds the Beacon Badge for the trainers that defeat him. He is the final and most powerful gym leader in Sinnoh.
==Appearance==
Volkner is a young blue-eyed man, who has spiky blonde hair. He wears a black T-shirt over his collared blue jacket, which has yellow details and black sleeves. He also wears black pants, and gray shoes, which have volt markings on the soles. Volkner also has a chain around his left hip.
==Personality==
He lacks motivation, which he is trying to find by challenging strong opponents, due to his status as the strongest Sinnoh Gym Leader. Since it was a long time since he faced such opponents, Volkner's laid-back nature makes him wasteful of electricity, due to having his Gym redecorated with many appliances and machines. Upon finding a strong opponent, he becomes much more interested in Pokémon battles.
==Etymology==
The name Volkner comes from "volt" (the unit of electrical potential).
His Japanese name, Denji, could originate from 電 (den, electricity), 電磁 (denji, electromagnetism), and 電池 (denchi, battery).
==Biography==
===Games===
====Diamond and Pearl====
Volkner first appeared in Generation IV's Diamond and Pearl games as the Sunyshore City Gym Leader, specializing in Electric Pokémon. His Gym consists of three rooms filled with gigantic gears, electrical equipment, and rotating walkways. The player would need to rotate the walkways, using buttons located in various areas, and construct a path leading to the next room, and later, to Volkner himself. In the game, just like in the anime he is bored but after battling he will be back to the way he was.
Upon defeating him, Volkner will reward the player with the Beacon Badge and TM57 (Charge Beam).

====Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Volkner's roles is the same as in Diamond and Pearl.
