Xiani: "Oh yes, there were quite a few injured people and Pokemon! We run on a triage system, helping the worst cases first. No one was killed, and no one will have any lasting injuries. Nurse Joy is looking out for a lot of people and Pokemon though."
Unfainting your Pokemon will take some time. Then to get them battle ready, they'll need to stay overnight.
Zamboni: "Hmm...well, after the disaster those Absol caused...perhaps not their fault, mind you, but still...I suppose it's better in the hands of a trainer. My, he looks grizzled."
Gym Trainer Auger Round 1

Gym Trainer Auger Round 2
"Oh... Well, it could have been way worse. I saw these...Absol... not really though, only on screen. I've been staying safely at the Daycare during the Running, but sadly I didn't managed to get a glimpse of a Tropius among the running Pokemon." ... "Ah, and before I forget, thanks a lot for taking care of my Pokemon...Both them and me had quite an amount of action today, but it was fun action in the end. Oh, but having Comite and Azurill unfainted will take some time? Nevermind...actually..." At that point, Shiva waved over to Zamboni down on the field. "Uhm... Listen, can I actually stay here for a little longer, maybe until Xiani have unfainted my Pokemon? I won't do anything, just enjoying some time here."
"Also, you have a new challenger soon, or can I...uhm...get onto the ice again with my own Pokemon?"
----------------
Mechanics:
I don't want to get my Pokemon battle ready, just have at least Azurill ready to learn a new move during this in-game day. If Zamboni allows, is it possible to hold some playful-graceful ice skating masked as a Training Session on the ice together with Braixen, Plusle and Minun? If not, I'll likely leave the Gym then and rely on the Center for healing, hopefully Nurse Joy can still find the time to keep my Pokemon as well.
"No more challengers for me, today. My Pokemon need a chance to rest. And it's bad luck to have a battle after an Absol has appeared. Rotom is at your command!"
+1 XP to Shiva, Nathan, and Ventus for character development, btw.
The three Pokemon you mention gain 1XP. You're welcome to describe how they play on the ice. Rotom can shape the ice quite well and quite quickly, but he can't do fine detail without a roll.
"Yay, thank you lots!" Though, hearing it was bad luck to battle after an Absol appeared diminished Shiva mood just a little. Not too much that it would seriously harm the delighted mood she was in currently. Glass Badge, successfully made her position and a big smile from her blue mouse, what more would she want from this so-far day?
Leaving both Comite and Azurill in Xiani's care for now, Shiva was soon back on the ice - as said, she could get used to this! -, but not after emptying the hot cocoa first. The sweetness was warming from the inside and very appreciated now that it became cold inside the Gym again and the only thing she had to somehwhat shield her from the cold was her red tartan scraf now with the Glass Badge attatched to it near the fringes. Its holographic shape beautifuly sparkles there in place.
Before actually beginning to skate one again, Braixen was summoned, as well as her familiar Electric rodents. Both the latter directly ran into the ice field to slide across half the room in one go, all while emitting non-harmful sparkles born from their emotional connection via the ability. What a fun place Master has brought them there. Rotom was already following them.
"Oh, Rotom! Let's see... Can you create some sort of slide across the ice field for the rodents to enjoy with Blizzard, please?" (Probably without needing a roll) Braixen on the other hand, was somewhat shy to re-enter the ice field now since the sun wasn't shining anymore, but eventually joined his Master as she encouraged him to do a few graceful laps alongside her. Probably due to trusting both her as well as his paws to not freeze on the ice. "You did very well on the battlefield, now you deserve to join back on it. Just take my hand, okay?"

"Ah, so you appreciate how much of a threat my child poses towards your Lapras, and treating them with the utmost severity. While a bit worrying, its also nice to see that even my young Wobbuffet can inspire such a artic ferocity from both of you.
I say that level of intensity deserves a round of applause, don't you agree Abaddon? Its only the polite thing to do in this situation, after all!"
Order: Using only Encore this round (Should be 7D6 Dice, plus it has Priority, so it should go first), to ensure that it has the maximum accuracy possible in this scenario, as I really don't want the sea turtle to start using its other annoying/deadily moves and mess up my future plans. Hopefully Abaddon can tank a couple of Ice Beams without getting too frost bitten, but I have potions for that eventuality!

"Yeah, he's quite experienced. Â Gave me and Kirlia quite a run for our money, figuratively speaking. Â And a little literally, I guess."
Calam's a little annoyed at Shiva's comment. Â Nathan was doing just fine, after all. Â Nathan just sighs. Â "Calam came out all on his own, Shiva. Â And I think he understands there's worse times he could appear. Â I doubt there's too much need to worry about that."
Gym Trainer Auger Round 2
Wobbuffet shouts and applauds ironically.
Encore
(6)(1)(3)(3)(2)(6)(3)
Lapras is locked into double ice beams
She rears back and gathers as much of the cold energy in the gym as she can. "That's right, Lapras, make the most of this routine while you're locked into it!"
Ice Beam
(6)(4)(5)(4)
(4) Abaddon takes 1 dmg 6/8hp -1pain
Chance: Safeguard
Ice Beam
(2)(1)(4)
(3) No damage. Abaddon spins with the force of the beam and turns all the destructive energy into rotational energy.

"I'm not sure how true that superstition is, to be honest. Â Believe it or not, Kirlia got out of our battle with Calam here unscathed. Â I mean, I guess there might have been some lingering effects from an earlier Lucky Chant, maybe, but I'm fairly certain they'd mostly worn off by that point..."

(Dang, that first Ice Beam was just a Dice shy from a crit! That could have been bad...)
"Excellent job on locking them down, Abaddon! Now
begin channeling your Psychic power and prepare to reflect all incoming damage from Lapras, and be ready to re-apply Safeguard and Encore as needed! Use their own strength against them, my child!"
Order: Double Mirror Coats per Round for now on (8D6 Base Accuracy Dice, - 1 Pain right now, so 5/4D6 or 6/5D6 [If Lapras get him at 4 HP, Potion time!]for the first and second Coat, respectively), since now I KNOW what they'll be pelting my blue demon with! When the effect of Safeguard or Encore expire in a later Round, Wobbuffet will replace their first MC with those moves respectively, so as to prevent the turtle from Freezing them Solid/Changing up their moves). Hoping for the best here...!
