If they let me challenge all the old gym leaders, at a flat-battle format (forced level 50 or 100 or whatever) I might just get it for that. Freakin sweet.

A peek at Homika's badge. Also possibly she might have a Trubbish; but she gained an extra Pokemon for the anime so who knows
That's not a Trubbish, that's a Garbodor. Just thought to point that out
Considering what some of the second gym leaders have used (Starmie, Scyther, Roserade, Watchog), having us battle a Garbodor at the second gym wouldn't exactly be a crazy thing for them to do.
That would be true if trubbish didn't evolve at lv36.
Maybe Lance gave Homika lessons! That would explain an underleveled Garbodor...
I don't think this will be another Lance. Did Elesa have a Tynamo in the games? No. She had a second Emolga. The anime and the games aren't really consistent. I may be wrong, however.
It's a part of the new side-attraction, PokéWood. Mecha Tyranitar is a stage prop, per say. Not even a small story event, unless they make it mandatory to do something in PokéWood for some reason or another.

I think Alder will remain champion; unless Cheren has taken that spot. Who knows.
Derp. I know that >.>Hate to be a buzzkill, but Cheren has already been announced as the first gym leader.
Nothing preventing Cheren from being 1st GL AND champion, wasn't beating the champion one of his major goals in B/W?
I don't think he will be the champion but until they announce who is even Youngster Joey is a possibility.
