Growing up with a severe lack of self-confidence, young Daniel’s only friend was a Wooper, the first Pokémon he ever caught. Spending most of his time playing with Wooper in the mud, he found his imagination oddly sparked when digging his hands through the wet earth, and turned his thoughts towards training Pokémon. Pushing himself to become a Gym Leader, Daniel overcame his lack of confidence with the help of his Pokémon including Quagsire, and has become famous for his experimental use of Ground-type Pokémon. If you can hold your ground against this Gym Leader, you’ll receive the Terracotta Badge!
