Something I just want to point out. Paul may be harsh, ruthless, and a bit mean but he also isn't the type of person who is happy with getting something he didn't deserve. In Dp163, he seemed really upset at the mention of Sunnyshore Gym and in Dp165 we find out that the gym leader actually has a whole pile of badges outside waiting for trainers to claim them. This probably hurt Paul's pride a little. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually tried to get in like Ash did before finally giving up and taking the badge. That'd actually be a bit amusing to see.
