PAX Prime 2014

A Pokemon professor by trade, Professor Pine has spent many years training and researching Pokemon. Professor Pine’s research mostly focuses on Pokemon that adapt to live outside of their typical environmental niche, such as the Crystal Onix that was discovered in Sunburst Island, as well as the Pokemon of Pinkan Island. In his breaks from research, Professor Pine enjoys staying in touch with modern day trainers, and thus founded the PAX Pokemon League. Its from these expansive travels that he’s learned most of all that Pokemon are great at cooperation. From that principle he built his triple battling team from Pokemon that’s he’s received from fellow Professors all around the world. Show the League’s resident professor what you’ve got and you can earn the Fundamentals Badge.

If you can, you’ll earn yourself the Devotion Badge.

From a young age Jericho loved to explore and would often be seen with his trusty Prinplup in the snow drifts that surrounded his home town of Snowpoint City. Eventually he bought an old icebreaker and let his wanderlust take him into the uncharted waters of the northern seas. For years he sailed, mapped, and trained in these harsh winter conditions only stopping to resupply and mail his maps to the Cartographic Society. While docking in Seattle he received a letter from the Battle Chateau asking him to join their ranks. With a smug grin he accepted the proposition and proudly marched into the PAX Pokemon League where he plans to show these summer children why the cold should still bother them.
Manage to defeat this veteran of the sea and the Exploration Badge shall be yours.
