Erik Balder is the current leader of HURRICANE'S STORM, a name he would admit that he never really liked. The young Gym Leader was born to a moderately wealthy family that chose to settle down on Seven Island in the Sevii Island in the Kanto Region. He was surrounded by Pokemon and battling since a young age. Thanks to the Trainer Tower he learned to battle quite quickly, and picked up a knack for it. The competitiveness that came with battling lit a fire in his chest that to this day roars on. [break][break]

At the age of 17 he talked his parents into funding him a trip that would take him across all of the regions and include lots of battling but also a lot of chances to connect and advance the family business. He spent six years traveling amongst the regions, landing at Johto last. As he came into the region, his family had already possessed land here, thanks to their business, giving him a place to stay. Soon after settling, he managed to open up a gym in Asagi City, noticing that his city lacked one. With his family funds, the Asagi City Gym was made in his vision, though the name came from elsewhere. [break][break]

Erik is a very competitive guy, and will never let anyway win just 'cause. He's kind hearted, but very passionate about battling and sometimes it gets the best of him. For one to receive a gym battle, they must be prepared for a hard fought battle because there are no hand outs over here.

One could see after engaging in the Asagi City's Gym challenge, that Erik was clearly influenced to a small degree by the design of the trainer tower. However, because of his frugalness he decided against hiring actual trainers to compete against the challenger. Instead, the challenger upon arrival will wait for the Gym Leader to come greet them. Soon after, the gym leader will choose a few of the wild Pokemon from the surrounding area, one by one, and send them after the challenger. Erik will not command the Pokemon; though the challenger would do well to not underestimate them, the wild Pokemon that lurk within the confines of Erik's Gym are much stronger than the Pokemon found in the wild.

After Erik has accepted your efforts, he will lead you downstairs to the main battleground; a large square area, with four smaller squared pools of water that are powered by extremely powerful machines capable of creating artificial pseudo-Hurricanes that will alter the battle. Erik only battles one on one, however, items are allowed to be used. Though, Erik will scarcely do so.
