>>46077975my idea is a normal gym ran by a totally stressed out office employee named steve. he became a gym leader during his high school years, but now he's almost 30. he really wants to quit, but he's too much of a pushover to ever say it. during the fight against him, he's constantly mumbling about his boss and his mortgage. after defeating him, you get the beige badge. seeing your fighting spirit in battle gives him the courage he needs to quit his job and to become a pokemon trainer again.
steve's partner is his porygon z, who helps him with any technical errors he encounters on his computer. he's got an ace up his sleeve in the form of a smeargle that knows spore, which he uses to cure his awful insomnia.
