From Champion to Gym Leader.
The idea is simple: after reaching the top as a Trainer, what happens if you take responsibility for a Gym of your own?
Petalburg Dynasty puts preparation, team choices and season-long progress at the center of that next chapter. This website is maintained with the game’s creator to introduce the game and help players get started.
