>>52800111Think of it like this anon. Restaurants will have a food inspector come to visit and inspect to see if everything is above board. So the pokemon league sends out an inspector from time to time to see if everything is fine. When they are not around, a gym leader might basically do what is known in pvp stuff as "win trading", the challenger takes a "loss" but gets a badge and the gym leader gets to keep their job. The Cerulean Gym used to have a fairly noteworthy reputation as being the easiest of the gyms. Also welcome to the shudo-verse, as to elaborate
>Win trading was a thing he envisioned.>In addition, if a gym leader lost 3 or 4 times in a row, they lost their position.>The job market in pokemon was considered scarce of positions, and while being a gym leader had a fairly crappy wage, it was better than being homeless.Brock became a stronger trainer, but he mostly washed his hands of being a gym trainer outside of moments like putting on a demonstration for the alolan students. Misty meanwhile has gained a reputation as one of the hardest gyms to challenge.
