namely, the rival fight after the first gym did not block your way to the training labs to the main lab and also had like 3 or 4 pokemon or something that were using level appropriate movesets

>>55536801it unfortunately doesn't even really make a lot of sense with the end of postgame revelations, but i guess the plot doesn't need to be that well written
