Filling in gauntlet dialogue

This was definitely quite hard, I see why Martha had trouble...

So I've gone with multiple approaches.
- Worldbuilding for some areas (Celadon U, Pokemon League, etc)
- Establishing some character behind the nebulous Chief, noting him as rather avaricious, cutting costs, and so on. A stereotypical capitalist, true to his "I am rich, so I can give you anything" statement.
- Multiple comedic statements about where each trainer is located, from confusion about why they're there, or that they were swindled. It's quite Japanese, and I think it makes sense.

I didn't make statements for Junior as I was kind of confused...

Also, no 6F entries, as there was no file.
