Sunyshore City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Volkner
The Shining, Shocking Star

The Sunyshore Gym is a three room Gym. Volkner is said to have designed it out of boredom. The main floor is made up of gigantic gears and clockwork suspending platforms operated by buttons. To get through, Trainers need to rotate the platforms in a correct order to create a path. To follow the path however, the player has to battle various Trainers in the Gym. The Gym has exposed dynamos that use up a large amount of electrical power, prompting the city to renovate the pathways into solar energy collectors.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

In Flint Sparks the Fire!, Ash and his friends arrived in Sunyshore Gym to find a machine offering a Gym Badge without a battle. Frustrated, Ash tries to break into the Gym, but the machine ends up picking him up. However, Flint comes to the rescue and releases Ash. Afterwards, they went to find Volkner in the Sunyshore Tower who is not willing to continue his role as a Gym Leader. However, after seeing Flint and Ash battle, he regained his enthusiasm and decided to battle Ash.

In The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!, Ash's match against Volkner is suspended due to power outage caused by Team Rocket. The Gym, along with the tower, had been damaged by the events and Volkner promises to contact Ash when the Gym is rebuilt. Soon, in The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!, Ash returned to the Sunyshore Gym to have a rematch with Volkner. After the battle, Volkner awarded Ash with the Beacon Badge and promises to cheer him on in the Sinnoh League.
