Probably getting ahead of myself, but anyone wanna share gym puzzle ideas? I'm thinking Zeke's might involve like... Climbing the same stairs/incline over and over again. A bunch of trap doors or conveyor belts keep sending them back to the beginning.
Maybe there's like a series of two doors to choose between. The wrong choice sends them back to the beginning. There's no actual puzzle to it. It's just rigged so the last combination they try is the right one. Maybe he teases the challenger over the PA with every restart.
You know, something to test perseverance.

PERSONALITY:
Malik has always tried to maintain a lower profile despite what his reputation as a renowned Pokemon Trainer may suggest. He isn't necessarily meek or timid; rather, he exudes a calm and level-headed demeanor. With quiet confidence and swagger, he isn't one to boast his own victories; it's only the thrill of a real challenge that can ignite the true passion that lays dormant from having few worthy adversaries. He likes to mentor Gym Challengers and trainers across all levels of experience, sharing this dedication with his affinity and adoration for nurturing Pokemon.
He is known as a reliable busybody among the higher authorities of the region, often undertaking responsibilities and running important errands for people such as the Pokemon Professor, Gym Leaders, and the Pokemon League, should they call on him. Malik likes to note this as a favor done for the petitioner, and always finishes by saying that he expects repayment of some kind in the future; whether he isn't being serious or always forgets about it is a mystery. But, adding to this, he is notoriously difficult to reach at times, even reported to be absent from his stadium during periods of scheduled challenges.
It's rumored that Malik can communicate with Pokemon telepathically.
BIOGRAPHY
Malik Harvey hails from the quieter boondocks of the Galar Region, born and raised in a small homestead in Wedgehurst. He is one of six children in his humble family; his father is a former police officer who retired early to become a cabbie for the Galar Taxi company, while his mother is a model who owns the Wedgehurst Boutique Store. The previous generations of his family name were mostly small-time Pokemon Trainers who found little to no interest or success in the region's Gym Challenge, and in the boy's early years, it appeared that Malik would share that same lack of ambition. His parents were more pressed on raising hard-working, intelligent children that would grow up to oversee what they considered to be the more important matters of the world, and generally discouraged them from 'wasting time' with the adventurous life of a Pokemon Trainer.
Malik and his siblings were always around Pokemon in their childhood, raising and working alongside them on their family's farmland. He was unaware that Pokemon were capable of battling against one another in an organized fashion until, at the age of nine, his oldest brother asked their parents to take them to the Motostoke Stadium to watch a Gym Challenge in person. The impressionable boy was captivated by the energy of the audience and the atmosphere created by the Dynamax phenomena, becoming fixated on the idea of becoming as strong of a Trainer as the Gym Leader was.
Malik and his siblings were always around Pokemon in their childhood, raising and working alongside them on their family's farmland. He was unaware that Pokemon were capable of battling against one another in an organized fashion until, at the age of nine, his oldest brother asked their parents to take them to the Motostoke Stadium to watch a Gym Challenge in person. The impressionable boy was captivated by the energy of the audience and the atmosphere created by the Dynamax phenomena, becoming fixated on the idea of becoming as strong of a Trainer as the Gym Leader was.
Alongside his siblings, he would spend the next few years working up the favor of his parents, saving up his earned allowances and maintaining top marks in his education. By the eve of his fourteenth birthday, after a series of back and forth, the teenager managed to convince them with his resolve, earning the full cooperation of his father. In dedication to the latter, Malik initially specialized in Flying-type Pokemon when he began to focus on adjusting to the new life and venturing across the Galar region. He spent the next year preparing himself for the Gym Challenge, and after becoming a full-fledged trainer with some merit by the end, he earned an endorsement from the Galar Taxi Company with the help of his father.
Unfortunately, while Malik had a natural affinity when it came to Pokemon, he and his Flying-types fell short of completing the Gym Challenge that year, mired with defeat before even scratching the surface of the Champion's Cup. He took the loss hard, contemplating on giving up on his dream before ultimately deciding to make another run in the next year to come. He spent much of the offseason in exploration, hoping to expand and strengthen his team further. During one of his Wild Area excursions by the Motostoke Riverbank, a strange voice broke into his mind, crying for help from the water below the bridge. He answered the plea without question, rescuing a Hatenna that had been drowning after accidentally stumbling into the river.
Malik was confused as to how he'd heard the Hatenna's voice, but as the wild Pokemon sought to follow him after its rescue unlike any other instance, he decided to foster the small one as his own. Over time, he found himself growing more attached to the Hatenna, and strangely enough, he found himself encountering more and more Psychic-type Pokemon. He took this as a sign to shift his specialty away from Flying-types, and began to build up his team from square one. This would prove to be a wise decision, as his next two years of Gym Challenges proved to be largely successes. He claimed all eight badges both times with relative ease, only managing to falter in the semifinal rounds of the Champion's Cup.
By eighteen years old, Malik was considered a favorite contender to win it all versus the Champion, now endorsed by the Motostoke Gym Leader that he'd watched as a kid. Though, he would be met with resistance in a lone competitor who had deemed him to be their rival. Throughout the Gym Challenge, he would suffer more losses than victory against them, but when their rivalry would come to a head during the Finals of the Champion's Cup, he managed a narrow victory against them. He sought to carry this momentum in full swing for the title match against the Champion, but was dealt a convincing defeat after only managing to knock out half of their team.

He sought to carry this momentum in full swing for the title match against the Champion, but was dealt a convincing defeat after only managing to knock out half of their team.
Though Malik had fallen short of grasping the title for himself, his prowess had impressed the Champion so much that he was nominated to become the next Gym Leader of Motostoke City. He graciously accepted the unexpected offer, and would become known as one of the harder Gym Challenges that trainers would have to go through. He continued to partake in the Champion's Cup each year to try and snag the title, but in the end, he would always be thwarted by the Champion if he wasn't beaten in the previous rounds.
Malik served as the Gym Leader of Motostoke City for a good seven years before suddenly announcing his intention to pass on the responsibility to another worthy candidate. He had the intention of opening up a Minor Gym in his hometown of Wedgehurst, receiving funds and approval from the [Rose Company placeholder]. He wanted to embolden the dreams and resolve of aspiring trainers instead of hinder them, opening his Minor League Gym on the hill that overlooked Wedgehurst. Its purpose aimed to mentor and hone Pokemon Trainers of all skill ranges, primarily for those without official endorsement for the traditional Major League Gym Challenge.
Alongside his father, Malik also became a licensed Flying Taxi cabbie and postman, doing so as a hobby when he isn't preoccupied by other responsibilities. He did not partake in the Champion's Cup for those two years, opting to remain outside of the limelight despite the difficulty of not being recognized. He regularly ran errands and favors for the Gym Leaders and other important individuals, also occasionally finding the time to visit and explore other regions. But, now he's become directly involved once more after the disappearance of his old friend.

"Now, prove to me. Prove to us that you deserve the Champion's throne!"
NAME:
Moira Kingsley
AGE:
29
GENDER:
Female
BIRTHPLACE:
Ballonlea, currently resides in Hammerlocke
GYM TYPE:
Dragon - Her gym is modeled after a dragon's castle. Trainers would have to work with their pokemon to traverse through puzzles and danger lurking every corner, to reach the den in the center, where Moira waits.
And by danger, it's actually just the other pokemon trainers in the gym with them. She made sure no one would actually get hurt.
APPEARANCE:
Standing at around 6'0, Moira always keeps her posture straight. With platinum blonde hair framing her sharp, bi-colored eyes and fair skin, one could mistaken her for more of a princess than a knight.
Her gym leader outfit had been tailored to the style of knights in the past, from the scarlet cape over a black and white dress, to the sword she carries (Which she insists is a mere prop.)
In her free time, Moira usually dresses up in whatever's comfortable. Her favorite outfit is usually a red trenchcoat over a white shirt and black boots.
PERSONALITY:
Moira always has a calm, laidback demeanor, not much tends to phase her. She takes her role as a gym leader seriously, and makes sure to hold up the code of chivalry. Secretly, she's a huge nerd, and can get flustered easily. Even now you can catch her with her nose stuck in a book. With that in mind, Moira's not much of a socialite. She doesn't really want to bother anyone, unless it's important. Or if they approach her first.
Although if any of her fellow gym leaders are feeling down, Moira would always be there for them to talk to.
BIOGRAPHY:
Since she was young, Moira was quite a bookworm. Myths and stories of legendary pokemon were the one thing she wanted to know more about. She didn't have much friends growing up, having been the quiet one out of the other kids. Her father was an explorer, always away on travels across the world, while her mother was an inventor. That left Moira with her twin brother, and her Dratini. As much as she'd rather study more at the time, he was the one that conviced her to join the Gym Challenge with him.
She did struggle at first, from trying out different types for her team to getting her Dratini stronger, but eventually she stuck with the powerful dragon-types for the rest of her trekk. It took her a long time to get her team ready for the Champion's Cup, but as soon as she was close to winning,
Moira surrendered.
Not even she knew why she did. Maybe it was cause she never saw herself as a leader, or the fact that she aspired to be more like the knights in her stories. Either way, Moira was okay with it. There would be more worthy contenders than her soon enough, and she would be the one to test them.
Few years later, Moira traveled back to Hammerlocke with her brother to open a dragon-type gym, and maybe help other trainers reach the throne in the end.

Fiona's Gym would basically be a hybrid of a warp pad/conveyor belt/ice path puzzle. Multiple separated platforms hanging in midair, and the only way to reach them is riding a Gym Corviknight that will only ever go back and forth on the same path. Fiona designed an intentionally difficult maze just so she'd have less challengers to go through. The layout changes every year because some smartass keeps posting the solution on the internet every challenge season.

Poggers. So, uh, how we divvying up the Gyms and Major/Minor leagues? Assuming Major/Minor gyms can stack in the same town, but otherwise, are we just calling dibs? I'd like either Hammerlocke, Hulbury, or Stow-on-Side, really.

Not sure if Ambra has anything particular in mind yet. But some possibilities
Stick multiple gyms in a city, more rivalry potential. With people in town choosing a side.
Have the minors use the Major gyms in the off season, or just have the minors battle wherever they are
Set up some extra gyms in non-traditional locations: small towns we make up, some of us wouldn't mind setting one up in the Wild Area, the DLC areas
I don't think we know much about the minor division other than it exists. But I think it might be a cool requirement to give endorsement rights to the minor leaders. You don't necessarily gotta beat em or anything, but definitely impress them
shrug, I figure we'll discuss it once the Discord is set up

that said, I don't mind major or minor league (might lean minor because I'm thinking he's a more recent gym leader), but will definitely fight for Hulbury!
@Prints Avoid DLC areas are a good idea.

Fiona's impressions of the current Gym Leaders:
Hestia: "Love the lass, but I wish she didn't flip her shite every time she loses a big match. Needs tae relax more."
Ezran: "Good tunes. Think he's a bit up his own arse about how people react tae Poison types, but good man nonetheless."
Joseph: "Fun lad to be around. Likes food and fookin' about as much as I do. Love the show, too."
Moira: "I know she's older than me, but it still don't feel like it most days. Been tryin' tae get her outta her shell."
Malik: "Fookin' bastard suckered me into this job. Don't mind him otherwise, but sometimes I wish he ain't sought me out fer this."
Nordrin: "Bit of a cunt, but understandably so. Wouldn't kill him tae relax a tad, or at least give me a damn discount. Great steaks."
Zeke: "Great lad. That little show he puts on fer the audience's good television. Could do tae be a little more like that in his personal life, but just a tad. Rather quiet otherwise."
Thomas: "Good head on his shoulders. I agree with his philosophy, more or less."
Elijah: "Smart man. I do appreciate how he checks up on everyone. We've had some good talks about our training routines, aye."
Henrietta: "I think the lass is a bit much, in all honesty, but it's also one of her charming points. Really could do tae chill the fook out every now and then, though."
Liam: "Too much pink fer my tastes. Fashion aside, he's a sweet lad. Plus, at least he can get how much of a pain in the arse trying to have a bloody love life is when ye've got a Gym tae run."

Nordrin's first impressions (he's abrasive nothing personal):
If anyone wants a deeper relationship with him lemme know here, PMs, discord, etc.
Hestia: "Little firecracker's everywhere, it's getting to the point just seeing her face is annoying me. You might say that's not very fair to her, but trust me she's annoying in person too. She's got promise but needs boundaries."
Ezran: "The other Hulbury gym leader. Do I think I'm better than him? Don't fooking insult me. Of course I do. He's tough in a battle and it seems like his heart's in the right place, but his head's screwed on wrong!"
Joseph: "He appreciates cookery so he's already got a leg up on the others in my book, or he would have if he weren't such a push over. Strange one wears armor on the pitch too, what the hell. ... ... What the fook is 'Man of Steel'?"
Moira: "Who the hell is Moira? ... ... Ah, her. Don't know shite about her. If she's anything like the other league women I'm sure she's trouble."
Fiona: [Busts out laughing.]
Fiona for real: "She was fun. Probably still is. She's also annoying, a handful, flighty, and nosy."
Malik: "Weirdo. Something about him rubs me the wrong way. None of my fooking business what he does with his time but would it kill him to stop being so damn mysterious? Fook. Thinking about him is annoying."
Zeke: "Guy was a right numpty arsehole first time I saw him, changed his tune real quick off the pitch. Thought he was the type of dog that barks loud and can't bite, but he's strong so I don't get it."
Thomas: "Only met him once or twice. He's so down to earth it makes me want to bang my head against the wall. He's like a force of nature of 'good person.'"
Elijah: "Seems like a nice guy. ... ... The fook else you expect me to say? Mans is like a nursery school teaching robot, I got nothin' else."
Henrietta: "I can't really get a handle on her, which pisses me off by the way. Pushy bitch might even give me a run for my money. I like her."
Liam: "He's uh... cutesy. The small feisty type I guess. I can respect a man that doesn't change himself for anyone though."

Liamβs opinions
Ezran: Ok so, Iβm supposed to be his rival or whatever because I train Fairies and he trains Poison types but like, thereβs something really attractive about a musician. Even if many of his PokΓ©mon are far from cute, and his style of music isnβt exactly my taste, he is handsome. I hope he doesnβt hate me!
Eden/Joseph: Another guy that uses my opposite type. Heβs really handsome too! But why oh why must he hide all that beauty beneath all that armor? I mean I get Steel type I guess, but all the armor is just silly. Take off the helmet at least.
Malik: This man has the potential to be as fabulous as me! He really downplays his skills. Maybe he needs a guy like me to bring him out of his shell? We shall see.
Nordin: I love a handsome man who can make me all the desserts I want. And he has an Alcremie!
Zeke: Have you seen him? The man doesnβt wear a shirt! Joseph should take a cue from him!
Thomas: Heβs as attractive as the other male Gym Leaders, but if Iβm being honest, I canβt get a good read on him. I may just have to get to know him better.
Elijah: Can we say hot for teacher? Honestly, I donβt know how anyone can focus in his class? Heβs so handsome itβs distracting!
Hestia: I love her! Sheβs so much fun!
Moira: Why so serious? Live a little! You donβt need to be the knight in shining armor all the time...
Fiona: She seems like a good time too. Although honestly, sheβs another of those I need to get to know better.
Henirietta: I got to admit, this girl actually has a sense of style! As an aspiring fashion designer myself, I can respect that.
Ezran: Ok so, Iβm supposed to be his rival or whatever because I train Fairies and he trains Poison types but like, thereβs something really attractive about a musician. Even if many of his PokΓ©mon are far from cute, and his style of music isnβt exactly my taste, he is handsome. I hope he doesnβt hate me!

"It's been a while since we've had a serious talk with one another-- actually, I don't think we've ever had one. Needless to say, she probably hates my guts for beating her in the Finals a long time ago, back when she called me her 'bitter rival' and all. Wouldn't blame the girl, since that was the first time I didn't get utterly crushed by her, but I still respect Hestia 'cause of how hard she's always pushed me. I've helped her out a few times, like when she was first becoming a Gym Leader. Tried to refuse and throw me out with the tough girl act, but I know Hestia's a softie inside.
Our battle record? Uh... think it's 6 wins and 11 losses in the lady's favor. Most of those losses came around during the Gym Challenge that one year, but I've closed the gap just a bit recently. Feel like she's always extra mad at me for some reason, though."
"Z's a swell lad, good to his friends and even better to his Pokemon, makes me proud to know 'im. I'll never forget his miracle run during the Gym Challenge and Champion's Cup a few years back; poor guy was stuck at several points all throughout the event. Even after losing a bunch of times, Z kept comin' back at it to the point where he even made it to the end against Victoria. Damn thing reminds me of my own run almost ten years ago.
Maybe when it's all said and done, our numbers' hangin' up on the rafters and we're old men, I'll ask Z what he thinks 'bout startin' up a band. Ha!"
"The Man o' Steel, hmm? Honestly have no idea where he came from, kinda just showed up outta nowhere, but... I respect the gig that he's grown for himself. I may or may not have a bit of his merch sittin' at home, or watch reruns of his show while I'm flyin' about. Too bad he's about as hard to reach as I am, these days. I'm sure there's more to him beneath all that shiny armor."
"You'd think our residential Dragon-type specialist would be as flamboyant and annoying as someone like Hestia, but from what I've seen, Moira's quite the opposite. She's like every bit of a living, breathing knight from a page in those ancient books down in Hammerlocke's Vault, almost brings the Man o' Steel's image to shame. I'd try to have a good talk with the lady, but I'm kinda afraid that I'll come off too direct and frighten her. Lord knows that her dragons already do enough scary shit to the lot of us in battle."
"What can I say? Fiona's probably the only person among everybody that I can confidently say that I'm friends with. Maybe she has an idea on why I packed my bags and gave up Motostoke, maybe not. I try to make it a point to share a drink with her when available, and Pops goes on social media thinkin' she's the one for me. Just because he's obsessed with Flying-types, she happens to be a specialist, and I used 'em as a kid. No thanks-- I wouldn't wish me upon anyone, hah. To be honest, I'm a bit jealous with how carefree and unburdened she seems to be. I know it's hypocritical 'cause I willingly throw meself into all the work, but... sometimes I feel like I tied her hands when I passed all that responsibility onto her.
Back then, I heard some fans in Motostoke tried to harass Fiona after I left 'cause they didn't want her to take over, tryin' to spread some bad rumors... Some balderdash, that. Of course, I was more than obliged to shut 'em up; I'll always have her back, so I figure she'd have mine."
"Grumpy one. You'd have me convinced if you told me Nordrin spits in your food before servin' it if he doesn't like you. (Don't tell 'im I said that.) That being said, being a prestigious chef that came from the bottom, you're bound to be a no-nonsense kinda lad. If fancy titles were the name of the game, he'd take the cake, no pun intended... but I've dealt with my share of pretentious people over the years, and I wouldn't mind knockin' down another one by a peg like a real trainer does. I can tolerate 'im otherwise at least, from one workaholic to another."
"The only guy who doesn't make me feel like a midget around the others, and yet, I'm still a small fry in comparison. 'Bout as arrogant as Nordrin, except he's got muscles instead of a frying pan. I wouldn't be surprised if he held a grudge against me for all the times I've beaten him, but I don't think he's the kind of musclehead that people make him out to be. I've seen him ponder to himself in deep thought sometimes, it's almost like lookin' at a completely different person."
"Doesn't give himself enough credit for how good he is of a trainer. If you ask me, I feel like Thomas is handicappin' himself, given how wicked smart the lad is. I feel like he and I could connect on a few similar bases, but we just happen to never be available for a chat; he's busy when I'm not, and I'm busy when he ain't. I'm sure that we'd be pretty good friends, though. Takes great care of Pokemon and the environment, something I really admire."
"It's kinda scary how laser-focused the guy is, not just in battles but outside of 'em too. Don't underestimate Eli just 'cause he's only got 'vanilla' Normal-types; you're guaranteed to have a bad time, and he'll even give you an essay on why you got trounced. Trust me when I say that I know from personal experience. He's worked just as hard than almost everyone else, if not more than some, to get to where he's at now, and in such a short time span too. If I'd known him sooner and hadn't given the gym to Fiona, then I'll bet Eli would've been sittin' in Motostoke instead."
"Everyone seems like they've got some connection to the other regions, huh. I only know Miss Durand a bit loosely, not even sure if she ever partook in the Gym Challenge here in Galar, but I think we're all in for a real surprise with her. She's got the spunk in her confidence that Hestia wishes she had, and she isn't a sore loser after losin' a battle. I think of her as an 'Ace Trainer' of sorts. She's also got a great fashion sense; her mum works for one of the boutique stores that I go to, and bein' in the same industry, she probably knows my mum as well. She's cute."
"He's an interesting character, fits the archetype of a Fairy-type specialist down to the molecule. I'm very glad to have someone like Liam as a part of our league, someone who isn't afraid to be themselves even if there's a handful of idiots who think he's weird or something. Guy's the sweetest person I know, and it ain't even close; always puts a smile on my face when I see 'im. Sad to admit, but my mum's said that Liam's her favorite Gym Leader. I'm sure he could be even better if he didn't worry so much about findin' a boyfriend, but who am I kiddin'."
"The newest face of the bunch. Don't know her a whole lot, but I know not to underestimate someone, even if they're who I'd consider a a newbie. Fangs might be sharp but I've yet to see 'em bite. I think she's a friend of Hestia's? Would explain why they're a bit similar in that regard. Sometimes I feel like I've done something to offend her with how she looks at me, but I thought I was just bein' nice when offerin' some help. Oh well, hopefully I'll get to know Isla a bit better beyond that awkward first year."
