#noctowl

Alright, who started leaking Dynamax Energy all over Akkadios? *Zzzt* Looking at you, Eternatus!

In all seriousness, we have no idea why new Giganatmax's started showing up all over the place, but it's fascinating to think about. Take this colossal Noctowl *zzzt*. We've seen one or two flying high and the sky, and now I keep flinching every time I see a cloud!

NOCTOWL, Gigantamax Form - The Owl Pokémon - A Normal and Flying-type. From flying high above, they can clearly see far stretches of land with great clarity thanks to their adapted eyes. A number of their feathers have fused to form a bronze-like armour.

Name: Wazuki Baishō

Hometown: Avia (Ransei)

Specialist Type: Flying

The gym leader of Windcrest Town, Wazuki moved to Akkadios when she was just a teen, feeling out of place in her home of Ransei. Quickly embracing life in Akkadios, she quickly learnt the ropes of being a Pokemon Trainer and rose through the ranks, her skills eventually earning her the notice of Orion Paxton, and an offer to join the ranks of the Pokemon League.

When Wazuki first came to Akkadios, she was joined only with a young Rufflet. A valiant Pokemon eager to defend it trainer, it has retained this attitude even as a Braviary. Her Togekiss meanwhile is a gentle Pokemon, gifted to her as a Togepi Egg by a trainer called... Cynthia, or something like that? It's a caring Pokemon that heals its teammates injuries, as well as any opponents after the battle.

Naturally, as part of her gym team, Wazuki has caught a number of Pokemon native to Akkadios. Her Voltaeon is a friendly flier, actually liking to interact with its opposing trainers, while Ayrfol simply enjoys zipping around the arena at high speeds, though can be a bit unaware of her surroundings. Her Phoemax, on the other hand, is a stoic creature, hanging over the arena before the battle, musing potential opponents.

As for Wazuki's ace, while exploring Mount Archon with her close partner Corrine Winter, the pair were shocked to discover a colossal Noctowl. This Noctowl has be empowered by Dynamax energy, making the two the first to encounter a Gigantamax Noctowl. With Corrine's help, Wazuki was able to catch the Noctowl, and now it serves as a powerhouse on her team, though they still have to stop it from perching on the Windcrest Gym while it's Gigantmaxed.
