What happened to Garys cheerleaders?
After Gary lost at the Pokemon League, his cheerleaders were crying and that was the last we saw of them, but the show never says what happened to them. Well on a TV Tokyo site, it says that he encouraged them all to become seperate Pokemon Trainers. All they did was build his ego, which was hurting his relationship with his Pokemon, so he stopped the cheerleading. So now he grew stronger friendships with his Pokemon, matured, become nice, and that is what made him the great trainer he now is. The Writers don’t say it in the anime because they probably want “the new” Gary to remain mysterious to the viewers.
