Sooo...recently it has been very heavily implied that Penny's father is Peony, which would make Rose her uncle. Which would make her taking her girlfriend, Spare, to a family party even more awkward than normal for various reasons.
"Spare, this is my Uncle-"
"Rose, Ex-Chairman of the Pokemon League of Gallar."
"...of course you already know who he is. Anyway, please don't attack him. Uncle Rose, this is my girlfriend Spare DelRosa, a champion rank of Paldea and Ex-Hero of Arceus."
"...Ex?"
"Dad is an asshole so I quit. Still waiting on child support for Mom, the bum."
okay, I finally looked up where people were pulling that from and whoops, I should probably play the . team star backstory and mochi madness things sometime huh. 😳
anyways this is incredible tbh, can't believe Spare's not only following the Protagonist tradition of dating a former "villain" but also adding onto that by having one of them be her girlfriend's uncle FKJDSHFKJDS
(also this sent me down a thought rabbithole. Is Rose still allowed to stay in Galar? Did he get a trial even though Interpol/The United Regions Court doesn't have jurisdiction over stopping villains? Who decided his sentence? I'm so sorry I'm derailing this and rambling about Rose but it made me think a lot 😳)
I like the Star Trek concept of "jail" only being used as a last resort for people who are currently a danger to people around them and only as a temporary measure while working out some other supports, since the current prison systems all over the real world suck in unique and horrifying ways. But more importantly, I never ever saw that as a viable sentence for any of the villains anyways -- not even Lysandre, so certainly not Rose.
(................jury's still out on Ghetsis, but he's allowed to just wander around Pasio without much fuss so I guess he's fine too as long as someone's keeping an eye on him.)
More importantly, Gene was there to vouch for Rose's honesty about wanting to make it up to Galar. He definitely got community service, but what KIND? And were Archie and Maxie precedent, or did they even get a trial? None of the villains BEFORE them did, and Rose was the first one AFTER them to let himself be "caught."
When Guz first finds out that Archie and Maxie are undermining Lysandre, he says that Gene was happy that they stepped up to do environmental work, which means that the League was the organization taking responsibility for them, NOT Interpol.
But there's never any mention of paperwork regarding them, so I'm pretty sure Steven was just keeping an eye on them from there on out (especially since he was invited to their wedding later).
By the time Rose does his thing (checks watch) 6 years later, there ARE forms for each kind of incident. I'm pretty sure Gene wrote those himself.
So here's my thought: the League was still the organization that "caught" Rose. They were the ones that pressed criminal charges against him, mainly to set a precedent for future incidents (at Rose's request), and he met the same fate as Rose does in the Pieces AU: working in Hoenn as a scientist with Archie and Maxie's team on their environmental project. (Unfortunately, those two are too busy with Ultra Flare to be there much atm.)
After a while, he's able to go back to Galar to work on the energy crisis (with non-League personnel in the Villain Cleanup Division keeping an eye over his shoulder just in case and generally keeping him away from Leon so as not to distress him).

Sadly I can't say much about Spare because of the embargo on the Gen9 info right now, since she's a Gen 9 product. That being said I had a funny scene pop up in my mind.
Spare, stubbing her toe: *bleep*
Miss DelRosa: Where did you learn that kind of language young lady?
Spare: Arceus. He gave me full knowledge of all languages, so of course that includes the explitives... Mom why are you holding a chancla? Dos chanclas?!
Arceus: ...why do I hear boss music?
FKHSDKJFD YOU KNOW WHAT ARCEUS DESERVES IT FOR SO MANY REASONS
“I admit you’re not the Leon I wanted to fight during this event.” Are Spectre’s first words as they meet out in the stadium. The rest of those within Winchester’s Battle Tourney are sitting in the stands, the first two rounds already having gone by. All except for Spirit, who had to step away for...something he didn’t tell anybody. A hand reaches beside him, plucking of all things, a Cherish Ball from his belt. For a moment, Spectre seems genuinely upset, before he smirks.
“This is still fine though. I’ve always wanted to battle with the unbeatable champion.”
A flick of his wrist, the ball is thrown forward. There is something to the way he throws it. Something that does poke at the mind of Leon Winchester, but he shoves the thought to the side.
From the ball, out pops a Volcarona. A band tied around its neck.
“Come on, Delrosa. Lets see what your capable of.”
