Again, I was really going on the fly as well but, hopefully next time the resistance will be ready when (and if) Team Rocket returns.

Resistance challenges could sabotage the Rockets, and Rockets could potentially sabotage the resistance, as well.

If we really wanted to have some fun with this, we could also possibly get the heroes of Pokemon involved. (eg. Ash, Misty, Brock, etc.) The heroes would be the allies for the resistance.
