Goddess Revenge Team, Assemble!
That night, Ace sent Elesa to the Airport, "When are you coming back?" Elesa held her hips, frowning, "I don't know. They found out my expert Ditto strategy… It'll be harder to escape next time." Ace rubbed his nose and said, "Well, I have money."
Elesa rolled her eyes, "I still love Modeling! I love you! But you want me to be a housewife, I can't! If I don't do something, I'll go crazy." Ace waved his hand, "Okay, okay. Hurry up and leave, annoying woman!"
Elesa cozied up to him, whispering in his ears, "But! I have a few more tricks." Ace snorted, "To escape?" Elesa grinned at him, winking, "Among other things. Hehe~" he curled his lips and she kissed him, "Okay, Darling. I'm going. Miss me as much as possible, 'kay~?"
She walked to the door before turning around, "Also, if you have time, come to Nimbasa!" Ace spread his hands helplessly, "I don't have any Gym Trainers… Give me a year and I'll come to see you, okay?" Elesa nodded with satisfaction, "Bye Bye, Baby~"
Ace burst out laughing as Elesa disappeared, he shook his head and looked at the people taking pictures in shock. He jumped on Noivern, "Let's go back." Noivern took off and flew into the air, disappearing in an instant.
Then the rumors came!
Of course, 'rumors' is putting it lightly!
They had proof!
Ace didn't care but that didn't mean that others didn't!
Most of these days, Ace sat in the Gym all day with a sullen face. The Challenger volume exploded after these pictures appeared! His identity was discovered and posted everywhere!
These guys dug up nearly everything about him!
Even Bea had a headache looking at all the challengers coming to beat her with 'Injustice' painted on their faces.
The reason was simple.
Elesa's fans exploded! They couldn't accept it and rushed to Oreburgh to beat Ace silly for stealing their goddess. Even the People in Galar… well, they couldn't go to Oreburgh, so they pointed to Bea, who was really annoyed.
She didn't like that beanpole in the first place and now these funny little guys were fighting on her behalf?
Okay!
That day, Bea gained a new title.
Queen of Destruction!
Why? Very simple!
As long as someone said 'Elesa' they were instakilled with Galarian Zapdos, Sneasler, Lucario, or Machamp. Then these fake fans turned into Dojo apprentices. Bea destroyed their faith and forced them to study martial arts.
So, the commotion was dealt with swiftly.
For Ace it was another headache, seeing all these funny guys rushing over to beat him… It wasn't just Elesa fanboys, but also people who were so frustrated by the games, they came to beat the creator.
This commotion continued for months!
Notably, Ace didn't say no to anyone. The best part was that since, these people were from everywhere they had varying levels of skill. So most of the time, his Main Team was pulled out.
Main Team- Noivern, Sirfetch'd (Zoro???), Perrserker, Dreepy, Flaaffy, and Dipplin
Sub Team- Tyrantrum, Rampardos, Archeops, Machamp, and Staravia
That's right, Ace even pulled over Staravia to exercise. He noticed this guy was getting a bit fat from all the sausages and decided to train him a bit. However, he never caught him, just commanding him occasionally.
As for the actual challengers… The Gym was on the Mining Section of the City, however, the Museum was right next to it on purpose.
Gym Battle Team- Cranidos, Shieldon, Archen, Tirtouga, Tyrunt, Kabutops, Omanyte, Aerodactyl, Lileep, Armaldo, Amaura, and Minior
The reason why there was no Kabuto and Anorith isn't because he forgot them, but because they evolved during battles.
Ace had considered taking in Kabutops on his Sub Team but finally decided against it for now. This could be the Ace of the Gym for Roark. If he didn't need him, then Ace will take Kabutops with him.
Speaking of, Kabutops was really great! None of this Swift Swim nonsense, but Sand Rush! This made more sense. Of course, Kabuto is an ancient Trilobyte but it evolved to be on land, okay?
Anyway, from an analytical standpoint, yes, Swiftswim is okay. Even on a Rain Team, you can put Kabutops if you had a stroke by accident, but! Most Water Type Moves are Special while Kabutops is a Physical Attacker.
First of all, Kabutops can only learn Liquidation, Waterfall, and Aqua Jet of the Physical Water Type Moves. Plus, if your opponent doesn't switch into a Grass type, then you should call an ambulance because this person clearly hit their head on the way and was suffering from brain hemorrhaging.
Basically, they would never send a Fire Type if you set up rain. But if you set up a Sandstorm, you can catch them by surprise with Water Type Moves. If the opponent is a rookie, you can sweep 6 with 1 relying only on the Doubled Speed stat from Sand Rush.
At any rate, if you want to get technical, Ace didn't like Swiftswim since these developers said 'Hehe! Mega Swampert has Swiftswim! Are you happy?' Talk about a cataclysmic nerf!
Oh, you can double speed in the rain! Wowie!
But it's a turn based game! If they tank the first hit, then you're donezo.
Me when my Mega Swampert gets OHKO'd by a Sunkern with absorb.
BuT I AtTaCkEd FiRsT!
Please! Ace can come up with 10 billion tactics in an instant to break a Mega Swampert in the rain!
Imagine this guy had Iron Fist!
Whabam!
Ice Punch OHKO!
Unstoppable Monster Mega Swampert!
Anyway, back to the main topic.
There were hundreds of Challengers during these months.
Ace's pokemon jumped levels quickly. After all, he was battling at least 20 times a day! If they didn't level up, it would be a joke, right? Of course, not all of them can participate in such high intensity 'training', he had to rotate Pokemon out constantly.
But this was really fun! As he rotated Pokemon out, he sent other Pokemon to bring the Pokeballs to Nurse Joy. This happened all day!
It felt a bit like rushing a Gauntlet.
Another thing to mention, Ace recorded all Battles in the Gym and had a kiosk by the exit that allowed Trainers to review battles whenever they wanted. He even decided to Live Stream the Gym Challenges with a Rotom Drone.
The high intensity challengers coupled with the blood pumping music seemed to have stimulated some Gyms… They started investing in Music systems…
Ace even saw another Live Stream of Gym Challenges from that guy Raihan!
Raihan snorted in his own Gym, "That unlovable bastard can do it, why can't I?"
As a result, Ace smelled the familiar scent of a real Gym battle. He released the extremely rich list of BGM to the internet, even @'ing all the other Gym Leaders.
