I just read the whole thing, and have to say it's a very interesting fanfic, at least.
But it has many red flags, imo. In addition to all the inconsistencies pointed out by Tech, it's funny how the rumor uses things we already know (or that we suppose to know). Like, it says there are 7 gyms because we can see only 7 buildings that could be a gym on the map. And so, to match the information we have from previous games (that have 8 gyms), it uses the idea that the eighth gym will be a gym created by the protagonist.
It says that the region's professor studies "the interaction between plants and Pokémon", because all we could see from the professor's lab so far is that there are many plants there (which does not necessarily mean that they will study plants, even if it's a plausible assumption to do now).
Again, it plays safe by asserting the types of the first three gyms, also basing on what we (community) find so far to be the order of the gyms; first, the one of the city shown in the trailer, with the water and grass gyms soon after. It avoid to mention the gyms most discussed by the community though, which are those that people are in doubt about what their types would be (the forest one, which may be fairy, poison or other, and the snow city one, which can be ice or dark - dark by the black color of the stadium -).
Also, it says that the fire type gym leader will be a mechanic based on what we saw of the second city in the trailer (that has trains), it - probably - says that the grass gym leader will be a baseball player because of the uniform that the protagonist uses when entering the grass gym in the trailer (where it even wears a glove), and then, as we know nothing about the water gym, it gives a totally generic description about this one.
About the Pokémon, I was surprised it didn't mention a Stork Pokémon. Elemental Armor is also a red flag imo.
The rumors are insisting on armors because of Armored Mewtwo (and maybe because of game titles now), but now we know that the Armored Mewtwo of the movie probably will not be a new gimmick. I mean, I don't think it's impossible, but I would think it would be weird to have a gimmick involving armor shortly after the Armored Mewtwo - a non related armor - (which will probably appear on the GO, by we can see through the datamine, and maybe even appear in games later, like Ash-Greninja).
Overall, it's very creative tbh. It's hard to say it's fake for sure because it plays safe, but it doesn't look real to me. Also, real leakers usually don't know that much of information (especially if it is a leaker who is supposed to be from the West, since it uses the English names).
