Will a pokemon in an out of state gym come back?
-
I live in Iowa and recently went out to Washington state for a wedding and left my Vaporeon in a gym there, it has been in the gym for 25 days which for me is an unusually long amount of time. Did I just screw myself out of a pokemon?

I don't see why not.
Even if your Pokemon is really far away from you, it still belongs to you. You can see it in your Pokemon list, even if it's now defending a foreign gym.
The distance from you and your Pokemon doesn't really do anything.

In Pokémon GO, leaving your Vaporeon in a gym for an extended period is not necessarily a bad thing. While your Vaporeon is in the gym, you will continue to earn PokéCoins (up to a daily limit) for the number of days it remains defending the gym. Once your Vaporeon returns to you, you will receive the accumulated PokéCoins. So, it's not necessarily a negative outcome; you are still earning rewards while it's in the gym.
