Notes:

It's something I've known (and said) all along, however much I may despise the idea. There's a total of 64 squares of ice that need to be stepped on in an exact pattern in order to reach Wallace/Juan in Sootopolis' Gym, which is 45 more than it takes to get to Morty in the Ecruteak's Gym, and reaching him in Anarchy mode was approximately a 1 in 1 billion chance. And even if we did manage to miraculously get to Juan in Anarchy mode, we haven't exactly garnered a reputation for beating Gym Leaders on our first try.

The countdown to the voting system returning has already begun and is minutes away from reaching zero as of the exact moment of this post. Democracy breathing down our neck is nigh…
