you know, piers is one of my favourite characters in Swoosh. He's just... such a cool design and a great character y'know.

So yeah Piers is great because like, he's super reserved and looks like he constantly needs a nap, but like, once he gets behind the mic he's just... massively fuckin' amped up and that energy is just... wild.

also I love how he refuses to dynamax his pokemon even if he's in an area that he can. Just straight up "fuck that noise I ain' doin' it"

It's also stated he does NOT like Chairman Rose. You never find out WHY exactly but...

basically, Spikemuth has no Power Spot under it, meaning that nobody can dynamax there, because I guess the power spots allow pokemon to dynamax or some guff. But yeah, so Rose said "aw what a shame, but that's okay! We can move your gym to somewhere iwht a powerspot! say like... ohhh, i dunno, this place all the way out in the middle of nowhere!"

and Piers was like "nah fuck off mate not happening staying right here in my town." because dammit it's his town.

and like, it was already basically thrown by the wayside by the fact there's no powerspot there because i guess nobody wants to see championship pokemon battles unless there's a kaiju fight or some shit. so if the gym wasn't even anywhere near Spikemuth, NOBODY would ever go there, no business, no income, no revenue, no economy, pretty soon it would be a ghosttown. And Piers is having none of that. Rose of course doesn't get it because he's Peak Techbro.
