Deadgrins

so all day i have been leveling for the elite 4, literally have spent a good 5+ hours leveling because every time i tried to fight the last of the elite 4, lance, i couldn't win. so i leveled all day and spent over 20k, almost all my money on supplies (revives, potions etc) just to get onto the last of lances Pokemon while still having 2 pokemon alive with revives at the ready, all for the server to crash. when the server came back online i was standing in front of lance, with 2 pokemon alive, the rest dead and only having 3 revives left. there was no way i could beat him now and finally move on. i am beyond upset as now i can either go grind for more money just to try again, and have the server restart again, or fail. i messaged a mod and the told me to make a post on my issue, so that what i'm doing.
