Arena: Monolith Hall
There is little in the world that dwarves the mighty skyscrapers of Castelia City, and little in the world that outmatches Nimbasa City's energetic atmosphere, but the titanic Monolith Hall manages to do both. Roughly a cube of solid red rock, it rises high above its mountaintop perch, seeming to pierce heaven itself with its indescribable size.
Even the road to the base of Monolith Hall is a long and arduous hike up the face of the mountain, winding through narrow switchbacks and pebble-strewn pathways. Climbing up the dangerous and heart-wrenching trail, the challenger begins to hear a deep rumbling, steadily growing as they ascend higher and higher.
Standing in front of the gateway to Monolith Hall is a moving experience in itself; the cliff face seems to stretch on for eternity above you and to both sides. The thundering roar has gotten even louder now, and the entire experience makes the already exhausted challenger feel unnervingly small. The stone door, surrounded by intricate carvings of rock-type Pokemon and rock-type instruments, is so smoothly set it is barely discernible from the rest of Monolith Hall. Struggling and failing to find any sort of opening mechanism, the challenger takes seat on a nearby bench to catch their breath.
STOMP STOMP CLAP.
With a boom somewhere between an epic guitar riff and a landslide, the stone door slides down into the floor. Already standing in the doorway is a small crowd of Shieldon, their heads bouncing up and down to the pulsing beat. A Bastiodon in the rear of the group glares at the challenger before sluggishly turning around, gesturing for the trainer to follow the group. With the door open, the dull noise coalesces into a definite tempo and the music steadily grows louder.
STOMP STOMP CLAP.
Unexpectedly, the interior of Monolith Hall is in fact not a concert hall – it is a mazelike catacomb of corridors organized in a seemingly random fashion. As the door slides shut behind the challenger, they quickly realize the complete darkness and become instantly grateful for the marching Shieldon herd, who appear to know the way by heart. The beat grows louder and louder as the group treks through the mess of tunnels; it seems to reverberate through the stone like a massive sounding board.
STOMP STOMP CLAP.
After at least a half hour of meandering through the hallways, a small glimmer of flashing light sneaks its way into the pitch black tunnels. The Shieldon suddenly scurry off into a variety of side paths, returning to their rockbound homes, leaving the challenger to foray forward by themself. Approaching the light, their challenger shakes in their very boots, the music is deafeningly loud, and adjusting from utter darkness to brightly flashing lights is a disorienting experience.
STOMP STOMP CLAP.
Still, climbing out from the door into Monolith Hall, the challenger finds themselves atop the stone pillar. Looking around, they find themselves in the center of a sea of rock-type Pokemon, roaring along with the hammering music into an assault of pure sound. A magnificent Bastiodon statue rises from one end of the flat surface, its jaw holding a stage with a live band and its forehead a wall covered in amps in stage lights. Monolith Hall itself seems to throb with the rumbling bass, and the roar of the crowd is in perfect synch. Upon seeing the challenger, the mob steps back slightly, leaving a ring around the challenger about ten meters in diameter. Still pumping to the beat, the crowd is eager for the fight to start.
STOMP STOMP CLAP.
Lee Straton, son of the legendary Bastiodon herder Don Straton, and rock-type gym leader, also appears to double as lead singer and guitarist. He pauses for a moment in his rocking and strikes an epic pose upon a stone pillar thrusting above the crowd.
STOMP STOMP CLAP
Windmilling to the steady beat, he strikes a deep crunching chord that electrifies the air with its immeasurably perfect pitch. Sending no more than a cursory glance towards the challenger, he dives straight back into the song without so much as a simple polite greeting. The challenger is taken aback for a moment, caught off guard by the complete ignorance and pounding music, mesmerized by the flowing lyrics. Dazed and confused, the challenger doesn't even notice the battle has already begun, when two burly rock-types come barreling out of the crowd, grinning maliciously and eager to face down this intruder...
STOMP STOMP CLAP
With sudden lucidity, the lyrics stand out on edge to the challenger's mind, imprinted deep by the rumbling bass and wholesome music - "We will rock you!"
Arena Effects:
-Permanent, Unchangeable HARD ROCK
-HARD ROCK functions similarly to Sandstorm, with a few minor exceptions. Rock-type Pokemon are accustomed to the ROCKIN SOUND, and therefore suffer no negative effects from it, including stuff such as Solarbeam and Morning Sun. Thanks to the existence of metal and grunge, steel- and ground-types still suffer no damage, but their Sand Veils, Sand Forces, and Sand Rushes are not activated (unless they are also a rock-type). In addition, other weathers happen in addition to the HARD ROCK, seeing as how it is not really a type of weather. Regular Sandstorm cannot be summoned, but instead removes other weathers.
-No external water
-No external grass
-Rock Slide ignores the damage reduction for multiple targets, and becomes 100% accurate
-All rock-types Pokemon gain Sturdy in addition to their regular abilities. If they already have Sturdy, this is replaced by Solid Rock. If they already have both, they are Carracosta and don't need it.

And hello folks! We are here once more to witness as another trainer tries to get the Badgestion from the Rock Gym Leader!
For some odd reason it is hard to see one of these challenges finish, but all of them started with the Leader crushing the opposition, which is a good testament to his skill and power. Pay close attention to Tulowitzki the Aerodactyl as it never ceases to be Leet's MVP. In fact, those flying fossils of his is the reason why I won't touch this gym with a 10-foot pole right now haha
Our challenger may seem a bit...uh...like the underdog (specially if we remember how Gerard treated him haha), but make no mistake or he will prove you wrong. Our challenger were one of the few to playtest this same arena with Leet and he was victorious in said match. Also, he defeated the Flying Gym Leader soundly on a double match, so he is a fitting challenger for sure! Pay attention to Phoenix the Lucario. Being the only mon with STABs capable of hitting every rock mon SE, as well as his good support options make him a great choice.
Enough blabbing let's move on to the teams!
