"The Blaziken dashed forward, its heart burning and beating alongside its trainer's" That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?

Arena: The Forlorn Graveyard
Restrictions: None
People have stopped burying people in this abandoned graveyard for centuries, but there is still an eerie aura all over the place. The grass looks more grey than green (despite this not affecting Grass-type moves at all), and most Pokemon and people avoid the place instinctively. Some trainers however still visit this place to strengthen the link with their Pokemon, especially Ghost-type ones. A still lake formed in a fissure in the ground, however the dark water makes it impossible to see what lies in its depths
The odd aura of this graveyard has several effects in battle:

The odd aura of this graveyard has several effects in battle:
- Focus Blast has 100% accuracy, and the base power of Aura Sphere and Hidden Power is raised by (2). It is very easy to focus oneself's soul in this place.
- Will-O-Wisp has 100% accuracy. There are always wisps floating around to provide decent enough fodder for this wicked spell.
- Pain Split has its base energy cost reduced by (2), and all draining attacks are empowered as if the Pokemon were holding Big Root, but without incurring the extra energy cost (this effect doesn't stack with Big Root itself). Life energies are easier to drain and consume in this place.
- All Pokemon's max HP are reduced to 90. The aura of sorrow which permeates this place withers the strength and the resolve of all the Pokemon battling in its surroundings - even Ghost-types.
- There are some leftover scrap parts, scattered around the arena. Rotom can tap into them, raising its Special Attack and Special Defense by 1 rank as long as it stays in its original form (without any appliance).
Well hello...well you are tired of this, aren't you?
Let's up cut to the chase here. The Ghost Gym Leader now faces the Normal Gym Leader for a battle of immunities! Or something like that.
The Gym Leader comes from a tough break, but is slowly getting his/her act together. I guess ghost are all about revival or something haha. Anyway...Generation VI was very good to this Gym, with Steels being nerfed and fairies not affecting ghosts much. The only typings that have advantages offensively or defensively vs ghost are Dark (mauled by revenankh and fighting moves in general, thanks to the low bap of dark moves), Ghost itself (go go mirror matches) and normal. Considering that the current battles of this gym are the first one after XY, now is the opportunity for the leader to get a good streak going on. For a change.
Pay special attention to Myrkul the Revenankh here. Fighting Type completely destroys 2/3 of the challenger's team, and the other 1/3 can be dealt well enough by the rest of the team. Also, Revenankh always performs pretty well when summoned.
The challenger here is facing very different streaks. In one hand, him + Dogfish44 become the number 1 Raid Pair now that the Engineer + deadfox seem to be taking some kind of break (which you shouldn't >:(). He was chosen for the Warstory, is defending his gym well enough and has a new batch of good normal types (read: diggersby) to play with. On that aspect Maxim is aces. But in the other hand, as far as Gym challenges go...well...his record isn't all that lovely. He challenged Poison, Flying, Electric and lost in all three in...let's say not close battles. It is very odd how someone can be so good on some things and not-so-much on others.
Well...it has been quite a while ever since his last challenge, and most of Maxim's accomplishments are recent, so here is hoping that his good phase affects gym challenges!
Pay special attention to Korangir the Aerodactyl. Yes I did notice that Colossoil is on the roster and no I am not blind. Let me have my wild (and inacurate) guesses, k? Anyway, Aerodactyl has the advantage of not being weak to most stabs and having the power and speed to outspeed most and win damage races, while taunting the mischeavous pokemon that usually roam in this Gym. The mons that can beat Korangir and easy dealt with by Colossoil, so it is just a matter of proper momentum control and the challenger should get this.
Or not haha
now let's take a look at the teams!
