Shadow Angel

According to BIGJRA's guide here, (you should bookmark the link as it's useful), the locations are: 1. Wispy Path (next to the river) 2. Spring of Purification 3. Route 11 (Surf east of Akuwa Town) 4. Deep Terajuma Jungle (surf up into the cove where you fought Valarie) 5. Valor Shore 6. Secluded Shore (hidden area in Aquamarine Cave, you need to Rock Climb from the hole Amber fell into and make your way through a hidden area with trainers to get there) When you find one, stepping on the correct tile in front of it should automatically give you a prompt to use the flute. You don't need to go through the menus in the bag. Best Wishes, Shadow Angel

Though you would think that Ame would do something about a Gym Leader outright ignoring their duties, but maybe not given that nobody checked the status of the battlefield in Dr. Connal's Orphanage regarding Noel and Charlotte.

No, Cain was never the Gym Leader in the story. (he was in the original online league, but that didn’t get into the game story). He was Corey’s reserve before he ran away and passed the reserve title to his sister, which she resents. Also, you are only the second person to challenge Aya, after Fern. If Cain was the actual Gym Leader before running away, instead of a presumed future leader, that would affect the perception of the Wasteland. I suppose it wouldn’t be a huge difference, but it still feels rather wrong to me. I think that having Corey be canonically a gym leader, but having an unofficial, non-gym battle with him would be the best way to revise the plot, as @nguyengiangoc and someone on the Discord suggested.

Yeah I saw someone on the Discord suggest to still have the battle, and just have it not as a gym battle. That would make a lot of sense

I really wonder how the Corey and Aya storylines will go, given that Marcello's post says that Corey and Kiki are retconned out of being Gym Leaders. I don't think it'll affect Kiki's story much, but Corey has a Gym and his storyline is that he's a respected community figure. In the timeline where you reveal his collaboration with [redacted], his daughter and the community reacts with surprise. I suppose he could be respected for something else, but I feel that the scene of his [redacted] wouldn't have the same impact if you hadn't spent time with him because of the Gym Battle. I think it would be better if he was still canonically a gym leader, but you just don't battle him before his [redacted]. The most consistent way to adapt the story would be if you go through the Gym puzzle as you do now, and he just tells you to follow him to the bridge instead of battling you, rather than after battling you as it goes now. Solves the issue of not getting a badge for a gym battle that you duly won, without seriously changing Corey's or Aya's stories. If Corey is retconned out of being a Gym Leader at all in the story, then they would have to either rework our introduction to Aya somehow, with her story being that of a new Gym Leader that took over after [redacted]. Aya could be retconned to no longer be a new Gym Leader, which would have knock-on effects on her self-confidence after her first battles with Fern and the player (the devs would have to rework her story regarding this). Otherwise, if Aya is still a brand-new Gym Leader when she is introduced in the redone story, then the devs would have to explain who came before her if not Corey. Couldn't be Cain as he ran away before the beginning of the game. Anyone care to respond to this? I would be honored to have Mr. Suggestion Box thrown at me!

Following up on my other comment, I agree on Kiki, her role in the story as Sensei isn't really connected to her being a Gym Leader, they could even keep the battle with her as a requirement for the TM without it being a Gym battle. Samson's story isn't introduced until much later, and his vague background wouldn't really be affected by retconning him as having been part of Agate Circus from the beginning, instead of only having joined after Kiki's [spoiler]. As for Corey, story wise, I think it would take some more major changes to retcon him out of being a Gym Leader canonically. I think a much simpler and more consistent solution would be to have him still be a Gym Leader canonically, but have him refuse/not battle the player before [redacted]. Eliminating the battle with him would get rid of having to explain away not getting the badge without significantly affecting his or Aya's story otherwise. They could even keep the gym puzzle and sequence, and just have him ask you to follow him to the bridge when you get to him, without you battling him first.

I wonder how the storyline will be changed regarding this, e.g. Corey's [spoiler], Aya's introduction and Kiki. I actually found xem to be the 2nd hardest out of all of them when I played 3 years ago. After many dozens of failed attempts with my main team (didn't have a good counter to Fairy types), I caught the event Beldum at Lv1 and trained it up all the way to a Lv80 Metagross just so I could beat xem. My top 3 hardest gym leaders were Shelly/Adrienn/Charlotte or maybe Titania. Luna was the easiest because my strong Infernape was good against her (still took 3 attempts). I found the gauntlets at Fiore Mansion and the Glass Workstation to be the hardest battles overall.
