===Background===
She's heard rumors of [[Brendan (Pokémon)|Brendan]]/[[May (Pokémon)|May]]'s rankings in the Battle Tower, but isn't impressed. She wants to see their talent in battle for herself. When defeated, she awards the Ability Symbol onto the Frontier Pass.

On the second match, Anabel commends Brendan/May's progress, and is grateful for the chance to battle without holding anything back; to battle to her fullest.

'''Brandon''' is a [[fictional character]] in the [[Computer and video games|video game]] ''[[Pokémon Emerald]]''. He should not be confused with Brendan, the male protagonist (or the rival of the female protagonist) of the same game. He is a member of the [[Battle Frontier]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. He resides in the [[Battle Frontier#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]] and is known as the '''Pyramid King'''. He uses trios of [[Legendary Pokémon]]. All his Pokémon are the same [[Level (role-playing games)|level]] as the player's highest-level Pokémon. In the Japanese original, his name is ピラミッドキング ジンダイ (Pyramid King Jindai).

Brandon hands out the '''Silver Bravery Symbol''' to [[Pokémon trainer]]s who defeat him once, and the '''Gold Bravery Symbol''' to trainers who defeat him twice. Trainers can challenge him for the Silver and Gold Bravery Symbols by progressing through 21 and 70 floors of the Battle Pyramid, respectively.

{{spoiler}}
In the [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon anime]], Brandon's silhouette is not shown on its own during the opening and is only seen in the centre of the group shot, unlike the other Frontier Brains. Trainers will only find out the location of the Battle Pyramid after they have collected the other six symbols. This may mean that Brandon ranks higher than the rest of the Frontier Brains, although in the video games this position seems to belong to [[Anabel]].

In the episode "Battle Tower! Telepathy Battle!", Anabel tells Ash that Battle Pyramid is located near [[Pewter City]]. Many fans thought that this was a [[plot hole]], because that would make the Battle Pyramid the closest Battle Frontier facility with relation to [[Pallet Town]]. Therefore, [[Ash Ketchum]] should have visited the Battle Pyramid first. However, in "Battle Pyramid! VS Regirock!" this inconsistency was explained when it was revealed that the Battle Pyramid can be rendered airborne by means of turbines. Thus, it may not have been near Pewter City when Ash and his friends passed through the first time. When Ash battles Brandon, he is possesed by the king of Pokelantis, and is later freed. Ash loses to Brandon and is told to come back at a later time and he's Waring Ash to be careful of Pokelantis bolts and the Earth is turned into a PokeNartoite

In the anime, Brandon has these Pokémon:
* [[Regirock]]

===In the Manga===
In the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga, Brandon was witness to [[Emerald (Pokémon)|Emerald]]'s battle with Noland and immediately refined his facility for him. However, Emerald still managed to conquer the Battle Pyramid.
