• I would be a dragon gym leader, with my main pokemon being my shiny goodra. I’d have several other shiny dragons on my team too, but sadly not dragonair/dragonknight. :( Shiny dratini has eluded me for 3 games now.
• Sugar Gumdrop would be the ice gym leader, or maybe even a mix of ice and fairy.
• Figgy and Caramel would have a doubles gym together. Rather than being one type, their pokemon would be based on food/bakery items. Their team would include Alcremie, Dachsbun and Appletun.
• Jeremy would be dark or maybe the steel gym leader. I almost made him Gym Leader 7 but I had already dressed up Agatha when the idea occurred to me. It would have been perfect though. With Jeremy’s track record, he absolutely could have been part of the Team too.
• Trilby would be the normal gym leader and have Chansey and Dubwool on her team.
• Elli would 100% be a fire gym leader - and again I almost made her the 3rd one instead of Percy. However she would never have been part of the Team (unlike Jeremy).
• Riggs from Monster Prom would be a steel trainer.
• Either Thistle, Sybil from Glimpse or Nikki/Nyxa from Love & Conquest would be the poison gym leader.
• Rok from Glimpse would obviously be the rock gym leader.
• Wes/Westley from Love & Conquest would have a pirate themed gym, with treasure chest, parrot and whale pokemon.

CC becoming a gym leader was surrounded by rumors of nepotism. Despite this, or maybe because of it, her gym is easily the most challenging. She’s worked hard to train her Pokemon and prove that she deserves her position. Now she’s the reason that many trainers have to give up on their journey. Get ready, this battle is going to be a tough one!

A wealthy widow, Agatha spent the years after her husband’s (mysterious) death rising in the ranks of the Team and honing her Pokemon skills. Many avoid her gym for good reason. She’s a formidable foe and the rumors surrounding her work are... unsavory. Still if you want to get all 8 badges, you and your team will have to face her in battle!

Harlow’s gym is on the beach in an area that feels very much like Sulani. She’s turned her leadership into a business and the area near her gym is very touristy. A percentage of the profits go to conservation efforts though, so it’s all worth it! (The other percentage goes into her pockets but nobody talks about that.)

Mephi’s gym is in one of the continent’s biggest cities, and is well known for it’s intense pink interior. (Many find it garish, but if you get it, you get it!) When not battling in the gym, Mephi has been working on launching his career as a fashion designer. So far though, he’s had the most luck selling cute accessories and plushes.

Along with her gym leader duties, Jin also models, acts, streams video game and is a total influencer. Her name is the one on everyone’s lips! She’s also well known for her scandals, constantly going out with different romantic partner- although she recently has been seen sticking close to a certain vampire...

Percy is the most intimidating of the gym leaders, with both fiery moves and a fiery temper. She’s also a well known member of The Team - a corporation that skirts the line of what’s legal for the sake of profits.

Nola is a student and the youngest of the gym leaders. She’s still getting her feet under her and is a bit clumsy at times. But her positive attitude and pokemon skills should help her go far!

You will have to wait until after school let’s out to battle her though...
