Would it be wrong to have Arceus use judgment on her and then take the badge from the smoking remains of the gym?

As said, Clair hardly "refuses to admit defeat." She merely makes you travel a short distance to get the badge. Is really it any worse than having to travel between two towns and heal Jasmine's Ampharos before you battle her?

I think the point is not that the additional requirements are difficult by any means, but that she's denying you the badge after you have just fulfilled the standard requirement of defeating her fairly in battle.[/s] Jasmine postpones your battle, which is a very different thing than denying you a badge until sudden, further, arbitrary requirements are met - after you'd already won the battle.

But anyway, it was a quirky and uncommon experience in Pokemon games, and it made the Blackthorn Gym sequence a little more interesting. I wouldn't mind it if they included other examples of such unorthodox behaviors.
 
Yeah, like after you win...
The gym leader says, "Uh...ha ha, well this is embarrassing! I seem to have run out of badges! I guess you'll have to come back later when I have more in stock!"
 
What's really neat is she denies it to you 2 times in HGSS, once at the gym, and again at the den, it's no until the elder threatens to alert Lance of the rule breaking, that she complies.

One would think that Gym Leaders are appointed and governed by some sort of regional unseen higher authority - perhaps even the Elite Four - and thus they know they can't withhold badges under penalty of eventual sanction.

I would threaten her with reporting her. She should be giving the badge if she is defeated.
