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!"

Heart bow in respect in direction of Tanuki. "Yes I am miss. My name is ArcHeart. But please just call me Heart. A unsual name I know, but be respectful. We have meet before during the festival in Star City. Its a pleasure to have meet you again."

Heart nods his head in agreement. "I agree with the rules. Its a little similar in Star City during my battle against Dagny. But of course its Single Battle rules. Anyway, I okay with the rules, and me and my pokemon its okay to begin. But before that I would like to proporse something interesting." Then Heart search his bag and find a coin. "How about we decide who their hand first during the battle? In pokemon battles its always important to be in second to be able to see what pokemon your foe might use. The one who loose in head or tails will have to bring their pokemon first? The rest of the rules its the same. How about it?"

"Well, alright, just this once!"

She opens a door and leads you to the Gym Stadium. It turns out to be just as large as Dagny's, with all kinds of tubes! One even seems to be a waterslide, judging by the sound and the occasional spray of foam from it. 

Nathan, alone in the stadium, is up behind and above all these tubes, so he can see clearly the whole arrangement! 

"Well, here's my Gym! Feel free to use the Furret tubes during the battle."
