Winter, the Friendly Pokémon Enthusiast!

Continuing her journey as a trainer, Winter returns again this year but with a few new friends! Taking a rather different turn from last we saw this trainer , this year Winter can be seen sporting a whole bunch of fairy type friends!

Prove to her that the bond you share with your Pokemon is just as strong to claim the Diamond badge!

Rakan, the Soaring Reveller

In between dancing, partying and generally enjoying life, Rakan spends his time fighting for the preservation of natural Pokémon habitats. Fuelled by the determination of his lover, Xayah, he travels from region to region, using the majesty and skill of his flying type Pokémon to rally people to the cause of habitat preservation. While Xayah could not stand the thought of keeping Pokémon contained in balls, Rakan finds no greater joy than riding the winds with his magnificent bird Pokémon. Caught between his naturally laid-back outlook on life and the passion he holds for his cause, this grey area is where we find Rakan.
A self proclaimed gym leader (amongst other things), he journeys now to the PPL, to use the style and grace of his flying team to remind everyone that, while Pokémon are fun to fight with, they are also worth fighting for.

Dance your way to victory to score the Free-Flying Badge!

“Battle? Please, it’s just a dance.”

Cybot #5, the Trainer Robot

Cybot #5 was assembled by Team Rocket to safely test the power of the Pokemon they created until a power surge changed #5. Not liking what was happening to the Pokémon #5 released all them and escaped setting the lab to self destruct. Ever since then #5 has
been training the Pokémon so they will never be caged again. Now they are at PAX Australia to show that science made Pokémon are just as good as the rest.

Can you beat the bot? Can you survive #5 is Alive and grab the Lab Badge?

Questa, the Teller of Tall Tales

News has spread of a new adventure brewing, but first, PAX Aus! Travelling the world for stories and legends, Questa has sort out every tale of fun, daring and adventure! Bring players of these narratives to life with her team, Questa plans to have an adventure of her own!

Will Questa soon be telling your tale of earning the Archetype Badge?

Mauler, the Quack-tacular Leader!

Although this is Mauler’s first time as a gym leader he’s not about to back down from a fight. With his flock of un-bill-ievable partners, he’s bringing the spirit of the pond to PAX and will leave you quacking in your boots! Which one of his Pokemon will make you duck for cover next?

You’d be absolutely quackers not to get the Waddle Badge!

Velka, Lord of Souls

Sin and Punishment, that is the domain of Velka. A deity of Lordran, Velka smelt sin in the air of PAX. Punishment must be meted out.
Gathering the fearsome beasts of Lordran, against which only a few Chosen Undead had prevailed, Velka crossed the boundaries of space and time to bring punishment to the sinners of the PAX Pokémon League.
Let those without sin throw the first stone. Will you prove clean and just, claiming the Badge of Souls for your own? Or will you bow in submission to Velka?

And whispers abound of a Sunlight Warrior who had previously bested Velka’s demons, perhaps in proving your worth, you may earn the right to bear his colours….

Phil of the Ponderous Plod

Phil, he slow.
Used to be fast.
Age has done no favours.
Sometimes he too slow.
To think.
Think slow.
Like team.
Live slow.
Wear shell on head.
Be confused.

If you’re nimble you might be able to nab the Slowboros Badge!

The Vault Dweller, the Wasteland Trainer

After emerging from the vault, The Vault Dweller began wandering the Wastelands, defeating and capturing creatures. She soon moved onto training those creatures in order to fight the raiders, ghouls and super mutants that occupy the wasteland. The Vault Dweller has now travelled to PAX Aus to see who can defeat her irradiated beasts!

Defeat The Vault Dweller to receive one shiny Bottlecap Badge!
