>Galar league matches are fixed to please sponsors, especially at the highest level. because everyone needs a sponsorship to compete, and most businesses want to keep the gravy train rolling, anyone with enough integrity to expose this gets filtered out.
>Leon is a genuinely nice person, but not the strongest battler. he's the champion for being marketable and non-controversial.
>Hop thinks the matches are real, he takes the league challenge to live up to Leon's legacy but becomes disillusioned after figuring out the truth and quits.
>Team Yell is actively malicious and does shit to sabotage you for the crime of possibly indirectly competing against Marnie. Marnie doesn't think about them at all.
>Bede was chosen by Rose to replace Leon after he retires. unfortunately, he's a bit of a massive dick.
>you are a bumfuck trainer backed by a bumfuck company who can just barely afford to sponsor you. they don't care about corpo deals made behind closed doors, as they just want the advertising. this makes you a wild card in the league's eyes, and puts a massive target on your back.
>efforts from either the league or team yell will make your gym fights more difficult. for example, maybe some funny coincidence had your bout with Nessa scheduled for a rainy day.
>after you beat Leon, the story doesn't end. Rose flips the fuck out, makes up some shit to "disqualify" you, and bans you from ever participating again. only this time, he can't cover everything up. everyone's pissed.
>you bury the hatchet with team yell, convince hop to start battling again, march right the fuck into Rose's office, and beat him in battle. he relents, grants you your earned title as champion, and resigns.
