PPL South Gets Shock and Sound! Chad and Sinatra are Ready to Battle!

Chad, the Extreme Energy Drink Spokesman!

Hey Kid, do you like to battle? Well do you like to battle with intense levels of energy? Well then you’ve got to try MAXIMUM CHARGE! AWESOME! Just look at Chad, he tried MAXIMUM CHARGE and his Pokémon have all been super loaded with energy for weeks! Will they ever stop? We’re not sure yet! WHOA! Chad was supposed to be handing out free drink samples, but MAXIMUM CHARGE has not yet been deemed safe for public consumption, whatever that means, right? RAD! So instead he’s going to be showing off the incredible power of MAXIMUM CHARGE by battling with his charged up electric team!

Crash Chad’s high voltage wave, and you’ll earn the Energy Drink Badge!

 

Sinatra, the Vermillion Virtuoso!

Our First PPL South Gym Leaders Revealed: Yazmina and Grimlock!

Trainers! PPL South approaches! Our first two gym leaders are here to test your mettle!

Yazmina, the Poké-Blacksmith!

Yazmina the blacksmith lives by the saying, ” Strike with all you’ve got!” Many days has she passed hammering away to master her craft, now she wishes to craft something even better: A Pokémon team that can strike hard enough to forge the next generation of champions in a crucible of battle!

Turn the heat up high enough to melt her iron defenses and claim The Crucible Badge!

 

Grimlock, the Mysterious Innkeeper!

Deep in the Glimwood Tangle you come across a mysterious inn. No name above its door but the sounds of revelry and delight drift out to you. You enter to see a huge hall filled with trainers sharing tales of their most recent adventures. A tall bearded man moves among them, refilling a glass here, sharing a laugh there, when you catch his eye. He smiles a wide smile and heads straight to you. You are about to meet Grimlock, the owner of this establishment, and he is about to send you on an adventure. But first: roll for initiative!

Survive a quest through Dungeons and Dragonites to earn the Fate Badge!

The PPL South Champion Revealed! Maxie, the Land Lobbyist!

Champion: Maxie, the Land Lobbyist!

On his grand campaign effort, Maxie has come to PAX South to advocate for the Land, and the Pokemon that live there (unlike that unreliable Archie, always holding rallies on beaches).

Prepare your team to face sunny skies and Pokemon that thrive in hothouse weather, because Maxie is bringing the heat!

The Final Two South Elites! Serena and Neptune!

Serena, the Top-Rope Flightmaster!

Serena’s back! This high-flying bird keeper returns to PAX South once again, but this time, she’s been hitting the gym! She and her team of airborne Pokemon have been working hard and are stronger than ever! Have you kept pace? Are you ready to prove how much stronger you’ve become?

Show off your hard work to earn the Climbing Emblem!

 

Neptune, the Man Who Has Weathered the Storm!

Neptune is a sailor who has sailed the many seas. From the tropical seas of Hoenn to the frigid seas of Sinnoh and the beautiful coasts of Kalos, Neptune has almost seen it all. During his travels he learned to harness the power of the seas and the many water type Pokemon that live in it, and unusually for a sailor he also developed a bond with the electric types that showed up sometimes during the fierce thunderstorms at sea. Though the location may be landlocked, Neptune has decided to travel inland to test out the team he made during his many travels at the PAX Pokemon League!

Withstand his maelstrom to earn the Thunderstorm Emblem!

The First Three Elites Arrive! Dr. K, Crystal, and Chrom!

Dr. K, the Plague Doctor!

Dr K has been attending PAX South since the first convention in January 2015 for games, fellowship, and great times with friends. However, every year when the convention is over and the friends go their separate ways, one of the group has gotten horribly sick with a mysterious illness. Dubbed the ‘PAX Pox’, Dr. K has taken to studying the horrible disease to better understand and hopefully find a cure or method of prevention for this horrible malady!

Help Dr. K battle this disease to earn the Plague Emblem!

 

Crystal, the Cool Trainer!

Crystal started like many trainers do: choosing between a fire, water, or grass starter. Not really happy with any of them, she grabbed the water-type and learned to work with it. When she found her first technical machine (TM 13- Ice Beam) everything changed. Seeing the power of the move and the elegance of the element, she knew she had to learn more about the Ice typing and its Pokemon. She has traveled through the various regions, learning from their respective Ice-type specialists and honing her skills to a sharp edge. Now, she hopes to bring a cold front to the PAX South Pokemon League!

Keep the frostbite at bay to win the Cool Emblem!

 

Chrom, the Exalted Prince!

Chrom, prince of the Halidom of Ylisse and Leader of the Shepherds, looks for a new challenge! He has arrived in Alola to forge new bonds and battle to the top. Legends are told of Chrom and the bonds he shares with his friends. Some say they are as unbreakable as steel!

Defeat Chrom and the bonds he holds with his Pokemon to claim the Exalt Emblem!
