u/Charming-Crescendo

After wrongfully getting banned from and silenced by cycling road for simply letting my Pokemon roam free, I have decided to make a new post. I have been accused of very serious things publicly and will make sure this is cleared up. What I have experienced from the gate attendees is something I compare to a level 1 Rattata citizen getting sent out by his trainer against Cyrus.

You may think I take this way too serious and should have let this go long ago. I don't think so, I think I have been extremely unfairly treated, abused and berated (read, being called a big, stupid bald doo-doo head). Something I take very seriously is freedom of speech and standing up for what you believe is right. Therefore I will not stay silent in situations like these, and won't back down until it's resolved, or until I am proven to be in the wrong. With this I also intend to stand up for others who are forced to carry only 3 mons max on cycling road, but don't have the confidence, time or courage to voice themselves. I want to point out that this is not without a drawback for me and I am not doing this for fun, since I now have missed two days of standing on Route 207 (due the time I myself decided to spend on this), as well as stress and anxiety.

Additionally, and most IMPORTANTLY: some official comments were made about me being a child murderer, including from the Gym Leader Gardenia. These comments, which are based on nothing but the gate attendees' lies, are now carrying weight from the Cynthia paid gym leaders, which in turned is backed up by the entire Sinnoh League trademark. The comments and accusations are connected to my identity as a Roughneck and has turned into a serious matter. This can realistically affect me and my future career as an NPC very negatively, and since I am exactly one year from earning my relocation to the Sunyshore Gym this has caused me a lot of stress.

I have been in contact with the Gym Leader Gardenia who in turn has reached out to Cynthia. Since I have yet to get in contact with Cynthia, and have stopped getting responses from Gardenia, I am making this post. I made it very clear to both Gardenia and Cynthia that I in no way wanted to take any time from her duties as League Champion, handling her illegal Happiny egg farm or any other work. Instead I wanted to agree on a time another day for this to be discussed. So far I have been totally ignored (safe for that one trainer who keeps beating me), except from a comment by Gardenia on a signpost now removed by Gardenia (yes, it is an actual signpost she made a Sudowoodo hold up in front of her gym), which I can't respond to since she has given me a restraining order. A collection of images showcasing lies and attacks on me made by the entirety of Eterna City including Gardenia is saved by me and might be made public later. The reason my signposts are being deleted by Gardenia being "me mistreating her Sudowoodo", which was stated in the message she sent me, is also a complete lie. I never mistreated any Pokemon that isn't an Onix, Steelix, Tentacruel or Gyarados and this is a weird way to lie about censorship and silencing.

I'm thankful to all of you who are reading this, and I'm as unhappy as you are that this situation occurred. Hopefully this will get resolved and in the end be positive for the community going forward. Cycling Road should be free again.
