Summary: Life is suddenly one humiliation stacked on top of another.


Life is suddenly one humiliation stacked on top of another.

You worked so hard, building a criminal empire. Behind the scenes of your ordinary life as a Gym Leader, you strove, and succeeded.

But now that entire house of cards has collapsed. And all thanks to a child with too much talent.

As if all of that meddling wasn't enough, the brat's made the quarrel a personal one, by defeating you in your own Gym.

Fine. Let the smug little troublemaker take your Gym Badge and go. Before you have the chance to remind yourself of how far you've fallen.
