And you thought the building looked plain on the outside; sure, there was the typical Pokemon Gym symbol above the doorway, but the building itself looked like a blank canvas ready to be designed as an architect's dream. The interior is so much worse. There are no discerning features whatsoever, with light seemingly emitting from a featureless ceiling. The door, when closed, blends flush with the wall, causing you to quickly lose your orientation. Elizabeth Sazore, resident Gym Leader, waves to you from the other side of the massive room, which seems to be at least 80 meters across in every dimension. She isn't sitting on a chair or anything, just standing there.
While the arena is nothing special, it appears to have some psychological effects. Your Pokemon appear to focus more easily, due to the utter lack of distractions. Pokemon seem to be slightly agitated in this room, making it much more difficult to relax. They also appear to lose some of their innate ability, as if the boredom of the room somehow made them more basic and barebones.
"I bet you expected something more from an eccentric gal like me, huh? Nope! What you see is what you get, nothing sneaky happening with the arena, just me and my Pokemon. And some rules. Always gotta have rules with a gym, right?"
