Volkner was initially mentioned by Tower Tycoon Palmer in "Challenging a Towering Figure!" Palmer suggested that after witnessing his battling skills, Ash might give Volkner "a shock."

Volkner made his first physical appearance in DP165. It was revealed that he had met Flint during their younger years and they became rivals, eventually turning into good friends. After becoming a Gym Leader, Volkner designed the walkways of Sunyshore City and contributed to other technological advancements for the city. He also created the Sunyshore Tower, which provides electricity to the city.

However, Volkner soon grew bored with battling and began giving away free badges to trainers. After watching Ash's battle with Flint, his interest in battling was rekindled, and he decided to accept Ash's challenge for a Gym battle.
