[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spoiler

The inside of the gym is a maze! Well, not the main hallway - that part is easy to navigate, very straightforward, leading to doors saying "EMPLOYEES ONLY," "CHALLENGERS," "SPECTATORS," and "WAITING ROOM PARK."

The maze is a bunch of tubes that tangle their way across ceiling and walls, crossing over each other, ducking above the ceiling or below the floor, twisting in all directions. Some are translucent, others opaque: they are the only bright colors in the Gym. There are a few portals to this maze of tubes, but a human wouldn't easily fit inside.

"Now this is what I call a Gym! I think what they say is true: Never judge a book by his cape." Then Heart follow in the direction of the door with "CHALLENGERS" sight and follow his path to find Tanuki.

Tanuki is lounging on a big pillow, playing with a Zigzagoon, lifting it up in the air, even tossing it. 
"Ah! A challenger, huh? I'm Tanuki, who are you?"

She jumps to her feet. "Let me tell you the rules real quick. This is the Normal gym, so there's no consumable items here - no Potions, no Awakenings, nothing like that at all! Held Items are OK, and even encouraged! If you win, I'll give you a great Held Item! My Gym is a test of the trainer more than a test of technology. Beyond that, it's just normal 4x4 single battle League Rules, battling until one trainer has no Pokemon that can continue!"
