"I would be more than happy to accept your challenge. However, I know that Simon Says is also interested in this coveted prize, and I think it would be unwise to exclude him from the proceedings. If someone in the gym committee would like to propose a solution, feel free to do so. Otherwise I don't feel it fair for one who has also worked towards this prize to get shafted with no chance."
EDIT: I'd also prefer it if we did this match in the standard ASB Arena without the traits, as that would make us a bit more even. Again though, I'm gonna wait until one of two things happen.
1. Someone on the gym committee figures out a plan to involve Simon Says in the proceedings or makes some other kind of executive decision regarding the matter. (I realize you've already talked to Atheno about this, but I don't know whether he's aware that Simon Says is attempting to win this gym.)
2. Simon Says decides to abstain from the position (Highly unlikely I think)
