Alright, in that case I'd probably prefer Maylene.

For the story, so one idea I had was, that she trained in the wilderness and run into a hostile trainer who is very arrogant and condescending and grinds her gears after they started fighting. Maybe he/she even uses underhanded methods or so. Anyways, Maylene is shamefully defeated, but as she can't stand the other trainer's attitude, she, thinking herself stronger, assaults him physically to get him to shut up. Though this time I wouldn't actually picture the physical struggle to take place in much depth, perhaps only the end of it when he seizes control and decides to punish and make her pay?

The other story I had in mind was something based around those evil organisations such as Team Rocket or Team Galactic. Maybe those organisations were kidnapping pokemon for their own wicked purposes, and Maylene as the gym leader closest to their hideout decides to take matters into her own hand and free the captured pokemon/trainers while simultaneously proving herself to the other gym leaders who still perceive her as nothing but a weak little girl. Except things don't go as planned and instead she's overpowered and made an example of as to what happens when you mess with the evil organisation?

Would either of those concepts work for you? ^^"
