#Wallaman Falls

[thewildheartsclub]

Sir, what do you mean people have died here…

Wallaman Falls is the highest permanent single-drop waterfall in Australia and is located in Girringun National Park.

“Nginba Warrgamaygan Ngarji” is a message from the Warrgamaygan Aboriginal people to visitors of Wallaman Falls, asking them to enjoy the falls while respecting the sacred place.

More countries with what Pokémon type they'd specialise in if they were gym trainers and Pokémon I think they'd have if they were regular Pokémon trainers. A thread:

Australia:

Given the number of dangerous animals in the country as well as the stereotypical joke of "everything wants to kill you in Australia", I can see Australia being a poison type gym leader! (Note, I did consider bug type for him).

The gym would take place in a rainforest. You'll be given a map, compass along with other necessities at the start of your challenge. You must navigate your way through the rainforest, battling trainers along the way, while being tasked with collecting five small tokens before you battle Australia. When you reach Australia, he is located in front of a waterfall (inspired by Wallaman Falls). Once you defeat him, Australia will gift you some antidotes and invite you to go swimming with him.

Australia's potential poison type team: Toxapex, Naganadel, Toxtricity (Amped form), Nihilego and Drapion.

Australia's varied Pokémon trainer team: Komala (a reference to Australian wildlife and the Koala that canonically is by Australia' side), Corsola (reference to the Great Barrier Reef), Mantine (reference to the popular sport of surfing in the country) and Galvantula (reference to the spider population in Australia).

New Zealand:

Given the beautiful southwest pacific ocean that surrounds New Zealand as well as the practice of surfing, boat sailing and the numerous lakes and rivers in the country, I can see New Zealand being a water type Pokémon gym leader.

His gym would be located within a costal lagoon (inspired by Ōkārito lagoon). The challenge for the trainer prior to battling will be herd sheep in a nearby field for a distressed farmer (reference to the sheep population in the country). Once you've completed this, you'll enter the lagoon and battle New Zealand. When you've defeated New Zealand and earned your badge, he'll gift you a bottle of wine if you're of age (reference to New Zealand's wine) or a can of soda if you're underage and ask if you'd like to watch some rugby with him.

New Zealand's potential water type team: Golduck, Gyarados (Mega), Whiscash, Floatzel, Barbaracle and Araquanid.

New Zealand's varied Pokémon trainer team: Wooloo (another reference to New Zealand's sheep population), Machamp (I envision this Pokémon to be useful during Rugby training, referring to New Zealand's famous Rugby team), Palossand (reference to New Zealand's beaches) and Impidimp (reference to The Hobbit series).

America:

Given America's personality, his desire to be everyone's hero and obsession with super hero films jot to mention his fighting skills and strength we've seen in the manga, anime and film; I think it's sage to say I can see America as a fighting type gym leader.

Now for his gym, I see two options:

1. The gym is located in a mock "wild west" area (reference to American cowboys and American frontier) where the trainer is tasked with shooting all the tin cans from shooting area and clay pigeon shooting, whilst of course battling appropriately dressed trainers along the way. America is located in the sheriff's house which when you ender, is a gym. Once you beat America and earn your gym badge, he'll take you to McDonald's. And yes he will film this like a movie for his social media.

2. You're in a filming studio which is set up for an action movie. Your job is to battle the trainers here, who are dressed as villians, and defeat all five of then before progressing onto the final battle with America. America will battle you at the center of the studio, surrounded by a backdrop of New York City and numerous props, dressed in a super hero costume (don't worry, the trainer gets a costume too), while your battle is filmed for America's social media. Once you beat America and get your gym badge, he'll take you to McDonald's (see above).

America's potential fighting type team: Machamp, Blaziken (Mega), Hariyama, Urshifu single strike, Hawlucha and Lucario.

America's varied Pokémon trainer team: Shiny Braviary (reference to America's national animal being the bald Eagle), Rotom (since I can see America being quite addicted to social media and also technology saavy, I feel Rotom and its many forms are a fit here), Plusle and Minun (reference to American Cheerleading) and Revavroom (reference to American dominance historically in the automotive industry).

Canada:

Given how one of the things Canada is known for is Ice Hockey and the fact that Canada experiences snow and ice for several months during the year, I can totally see him as an ice type gym leader.

Building on that ice hockey reference, I feel his gym would be inside of an ice hockey arena. There's a game going on, but no one can find the player's ice hockey sticks and so you are tasked with finding all of the ice hockey sticks before the game starts. Once you've completed this you'll face Canada on the ice. When you've beaten him and obtained your gym badge, he will invite you to have some pancakes with maple syrup with him.

Canada's potential ice type team: Galarian Mr. Mime, Avalugg, Abomasnow, Glaceon (ice tera), Dewgong and Alolan Sandslash.

Canada's varied Pokémon trainer team: Cubcoo (reference to Kumajirou), Bidoof (reference to Canadian wildlife), Mudsdale (reference to the Royal Canadian Mountain Police) and Alcremie vanilla cream star sweet (this sweet Pokémon has been selected to refer to Canadian Maple Syrup).

Wallaman Falls, Queensland, Australia, by Sarah Latham

[earthstory]

Wallaman Falls Emerging from mountain heights, a small stream plummets breathtakingly over a precipice into primeval jungle. In the heart of a steamy rainforest, Stony Creek winds a gently sloping course through tangles trees and shrubs. Still dripping from the night’s rain, palm fronds jostle in the undergrowth, and high overhead a canopy of leaves filters the early morning light. Somewhere in the forest a black cockatoo is calling an omen of more rain.

As the current quickens, the creek’s meandering waters are disturbed by eddies and swirls. The water cascades down a winding gorge, then without warning plunges over a cliff to drop a sheer 912ft (278m) into the river below. This is Wallaman Falls—a ribbon of silver pouring down through misty halos of ruby, azure and violet. Stony Creek is one of many streams rising in North Queensland’s coastal ranges and dropping off the edge of a plateau into the Herbert River Gorge. Here in the southern tip of Australia’s largest rainforest, there are more different kinds of plants and animals than anywhere else in the country. Look carefully and you may spot a sleepy possum, a giant green frog or a 20ft (6m) python. Here birds range from tiny large-billed warbler to flightless, almost man-sized cassowaries, and the insect world includes blue caterpillars the length of your arm and moths with wing spanning 10in (250mm). This is platypus country, too: sit quietly by the water and you may hear the splash of a flat tail or catch a glimpse of silvery brown fur. ~ JM Image Credit: http://bit.ly/1I9kdL9 More Info: http://bit.ly/1I9kk9r
