He was born and raised in Sinnoh, but he kept that secret as part of his gimmick as a wrestler was people believing that he hailed from another country. Wake has been described as being "breathtaking in a weird way", and dressed in the style of a luchadore wrestler despite specializing in Water-type Pokémon. This was because he actually was a professional wrestler outside of his gym leader career, with his matches (which he always wins) being recounted in the Sinnoh Sports segment of the Pokémon Variety Hour. He described himself as a glory and believed that his Pokémon could take anything due to having been toughened up by stormy white waters. Wake also described himself as a "triple-threat Gym Leader" in the areas of Pokémon, wrestling and song, the latter being due to a theme song for himself that he occasionally sang. He was also known for his charitable acts, as he used the prize money from his Pokémon battles to help the disadvantaged and would also use the move Defog to keep Pastoria's weather clear. |
| − | + | In ''Platinum'', he was first seen at Veilstone City, leaving its gym as [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]] arrived, having come to spar with [[Maylene]] only to be stunned by her power. He introduced himself to the player trainer after warning them about how tough Maylene was and then departed for Pastoria. He could then be challenged there in all three versions. After being defeated, he said that he had wanted to battle a lot more, but he still had a great time battling. He then gave the Fen Badge and TM55: Brine to the player trainer. In ''Platinum'', [[Barry]] attempted to become Crasher Wake's apprentice, but Crasher refused. He said that he knew [[Palmer|Barry's father]] but thought that they had the potential to become great trainers in their own right (although Barry still insisted on calling him his master). He then went to investigate the Great Marsh after a Galactic Bomb was set off in it and found no lasting damage. | |
| − | + | In all versions, he could later be seen near Stark Mountain in the Battle Zone, having come to the area to compete in a tournament. He warned Lucas/Dawn and Barry about the dangers of Stark Mountain and then departed to train. In ''Platinum'', he could be battled again at the Battleground and would also visit the player's villa on random days. | |

Wake also made a cameo appearance at the Celadon City Department Store in ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]'', where was shown shopping for masks. Assuming [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]] was a mask fanatic, he bought them [[Turtwig]], [[Chimchar]] and [[Piplup]] masks and then left. He could then be seen at the bridge on Route 47, where he admired the great waterfall there as well as the effect of standing there. Recognizing Ethan/Lyra as the alleged mask fanatic from earlier, Wake mused about the nature of water and hoped that the trainer would become a trainer with the qualities of water: "strong, tough to beat, yet refreshing." | Wake also made a cameo appearance at the Celadon City Department Store in ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]'', where was shown shopping for masks.

He was actually first shown without his mask (although his face was obscured by shadow) until he was reminded to put it on. His charitable nature was also mentioned and summarized in his motto, "The strong should serve the people and the Pokémon." He used a Floatzel and a Quagsire in battle with Platina, but he was defeated. Wake reappeared following the Galactic attack on Lake Valor after being notified by [[Byron]]. Although he was too late to stop Team Galactic, he was able to save the lake's [[Magikarp]] using Rain Dance and then submitted Pearl to one night of training due to seeing potential in him, helping Pearl to catch his own Pokémon. He then later helped the gym leaders fight off Team Galactic at the Spear Pillar. |
