It had always been interesting, the way in which Gyms come and go. Indeed, it was only 10 years ago when it would've been odd for anyone to consider Castelia City hosting the Electric Gym, but it was now. The HMS Tesla stands proudly in the port, although it normally sails a mile away from the port for the purpose of battles. The ship is a fairly standard ship, from the Falklands era. It has been fitted to accommodate battles, and notably on the main deck you can see what appears to be a giant crown - 4 golden arches curve around to support a giant gemstone above the deck.
Entering the ship, you immediately enter what appears to be a relatively fancy restaurant, quite busy. Looking around, there appears to be a window viewing the arena directly, as well as several plasma screens showing the currently empty arena. As you look around, you're greeted by a man in yellow and black attire.
"Hello there, welcome aboard the HMS Tesla. Are you here for the restaurant or the gym? The Gym? Well, this is special, the guests tonight will get a lovely show. We'll probably be ready to battle in about half an hour or so, so until then feel free to sit down and order a coffee."
Indeed, the ship does get rather full, and as the sun sets the ship begins to move out to sea. As you finish your coffee, the man returns - at this stage, you're fairly certain this is the gym leader. You're beckoned outside, and see the arena is stationed below the crown shape. However, you can't take in the beauty before the leader speaks again...
"Emolga, give us some light will ya!"
An Emolga pops out of the leader's Pokéball, and sends a small shot of lighting at the gem in the centre of the crown. It absorbs the electricity and lights up, revealing itself to actually be a giant ThunderStone. Impressive... although, you're surprised to see that the gem seems to be surrounded by some strange contraption hastily thrown together.
"Heh, I know what you're thinkin'. Used to be a lot more noticable, but it suddenly started throwing very powerful sparks out at random, and because we do value our guests, we've surrounded it for safety. Apart from that, we do request that your Pokémon disable their Illusion and Protean ability, since the guests have reported headaches trying to follow that. We also negate ability immunities unless it is part of that Pokémon itself - that would be the slight tingle you feel when you walk into the arena. Oh, and as per usual...."
The leader snaps his fingers at this point, and you feel drops of rain begin to fall. ".... yep, it's raining. Well, sort of. It's been a bit lighter lately, but still, we do suggest that you go fetch a brolly from inside."
Effects:
- During "Clear" weather, the effect of Rain occurs, with no increase or decrease in any move BAP.
- Illusion and Protean do not function.
- Abilities which provide an immunity to certain moves (Volt Absorb, Bulletproof, etc.) only function on Pokémon who naturally have said ability.
Codifications:
- Secret Power can Paralyze
- Nature Power calls Discharge
- Arena is outside, Moonlight and Morning Sun both work at the same power level
- Camouflage makes the user an Electric-Type
- All moves have access to any external material needed and can hence be used.
- Krilowatt usually has Shell Armour. This is a hint to STOP ROLLING CRITS ON IT SHOULD THAT BE THE CASE.
