You get 2x4 the Piplup. Curious about this Pokemon's name? Look at your postcount! It's about to be 2222, which is four twos! Now, obviously, this means that 2x4 can evolve at levels 24 and 42 and 24 and 42 only.

You also will have to solo two Pokemon from the fourth Gym. Now, what do you think 2x4's favorite TV show is? 24, or course! The ratings (according to Wikipedia) of the show 24 will correspond to the restrictions on this Pokemon:

Season 1: Solo 9 Trainers before the first Badge. This corresponds to the 8.6 million (round to 9) viewers the first season of 24 received.
Season 2: ~12 million viewers, solo 12 Trainers between badges 1 and 2
Season 3: ~10 million viewers. solo 10 Trainers between badges 2 and 3
Season 4: ~12 million viewers. solo 12 Trainers between badges 3 and 4
Season 5: ~14 million viewers. solo 14 Trainers between badges 4 and 5
Season 6: ~13 million viewers. solo 13 Trainers between badges 5 and 6
Season 7: ~13 million viewers. solo 13 Trainers between badges 6 and 7
Season 8: ~9 million viewers. solo 9 Trainers between badges 7 and 8

You cannot exceed this number of solos per interval.

Now, that's a lot of Trainers! And that's a lot of Exp. that could go to the other members of your team! To be fair to the other members of your team, 2x4 cannot kill more than half of a Trainer's Pokemon in a battle that he's not soloing. So if you were battling Gardenia and had already soloed 12 Trainers, you could not kill more than one of her Pokemon.

2x4 must solo and Trainer who you battle for the second or fourth time. This is the second Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (ignore this rule for double battles), Cyrus, and Rival battles and the fourth Rival battle.

After getting all 8 badges, ignore all above restrictions.

Solo four Pokemon belonging to the second Elite Four member and two Pokemon according to the fourth. When you have completed these solos, well done! Sit down on a 2x4 and watch some 24!

Tl;dr version

Piplup named 2x4. Evolves at levels 24 and 42. Solo two Pokemon from the fourth Gym battle (heh, this means you actually have to solo the whole battle actually because of the half Pokemon rule). Solo the prescribed number of Trainers from each Gym interval. If you're not soloing a Trainer, you cannot kill more than half of that Trainer's Pokemon with 2x4. Solo every second and fourth encounter with a Trainer. Ignore every rule above this after getting all 8 badges. Solo 4 of Bertha's Pokemon and 2 of Lucian's.

Super tl;dr version:
Take a Piplup and cry.

The Vs. Seeker is your friend in this challenge.
