...Is too busy to battle."
AU INFO
A year after Ash was appointed gym leader, nobody could find him. So clearly their decision was to find Gary and give him the same position of Viridian gym leader. Honestly Gary didn't want it much, but he eventually just got forced into it.
He figured Ash would eventually come back so Gary ended up buying a pokegear for his old rival and forcing it on him. His words were along the lines of "What's the point of being a leader if nobody knows where you run off to, dweeb?"
So now both Ash and Gary share the post of Viridian gym leader. They switch off gym leader duties yearly. When Ash is off he goes and challenges other leagues. When Gary's off he goes forth and does research.
Unlike Ash Gary's actually around Kanto/Johto the entirety of the year he's there instead of bailing to go explore new regions. Though Gary is also very rarely at the gym. He's there every weekend, but every weekday his schedule fluctuates.
