Aww, thanks! I personally still liked the Gym Battle against Volkner, but even I have to admit that in some places its execution was massively flawed: poor Torterra gets shafted for the upteenth time, and Jolteon's only purpose is to add yet another entry onto Infernape's already bloated resume of victories. It would have made little to no difference if those two had been entirely absent from that Gym Battle when you think about it. So with this rewrite I effectively kill two birds with one stone. Granted, bias did influence this decision quite a bit, as the Turtwig line is my favorite Sinnoh starter while Jolteon is my favorite Eeveelution, so of course I'm gonna give them good treatment whenever I write battles involving either of them XDSo, can you fly to Japan and become a writer? And still mod on the side? You took the most boring Sinnoh Gym Battle for me and made it so much better; I like that Jolteon gets a better showing too rather than being Infernape's punching bag.
I love the Torterra Vs. Jolteon rewrite. I would take it one little step further and have grass sprouting a bit on the terrain shift from Torterra's enhanced Rock Climb; I think it would look really nice with the earthy imagery.
