After the destruction of the Origin Sanctum, Maxim had to go and find a new arena to house his gym. He wanted it to be bigger and better than ever before, and so he went searching for some way to boost his Normal types through the roof. Eventually, he got in contact with the Kalos scientist Dr. Zoran, and agreed to fund Zoran's research if he would build Maxim an arena. Zoran decided to build two, and this was his second concept.
This is a virtual arena, and if chosen will be built near Turnback Cave.
You reach a small hut in the woods near Veilstone City in the Sinnoh region. You've been searching for the ASB Normal Gym for a while now, but haven't had any luck finding anything that looks like a gym. Wanting more leads on this elusive gym, you knock, and what seems to be some kind of servant answers the door. "Hello? Ah traveler, you must be tired from your journey, come in and rest for a while." Grateful for the offer, you head on inside, and then you sit in a chair facing the servant. It seems rather small for a living space, in fact it seems to only house the servant himself. Upon asking about this he replies "Oh, I see the confusion, my friend is out right now, he's waiting for a challenger to his gym. Figuring this must be the gym leader you seek, you ask where he is, expecting to have to fetch him to battle him. The servant's eyes light up and he says "Oh so you're the challenger. Excellent, my master is waiting for you just this way."
He leads you down into the basement of the house, where you see a really strange sight, a portal to what seems to be another world. The servant motions for you to step inside, telling you not to worry, as that's where the gym is. You step inside and find yourself in another dimension in front of a large building, the doors of which automatically open. Inside you find Maxim.
"Ah hello there. You must be the challenger I was told about. Welcome to the Reverse World and my very own Inverse Coliseum. I trust you didn't have too much trouble finding this place. In truth, it's a bit difficult to give directions to this place, but at least you made it. In this arena, there is one rule and one rule only. All type advantages and disadvantages are switched. Simple right? I warn you though challenger, this is not going to be an easy fight!"
Summary:
This is an Inverse Battle, all type advantages and disadvantages are swapped.

Lillian [Female Trevenant]
Type: Ghost | Grass
Ghost: Ghost STAB; immune to the effects of full trapping moves and the Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, and Shadow Tag abilities. Ghost types can switch out while affected by a partial trapping move, but they will be damaged every action by their effect.
Grass: Grass STAB; immunity to Leech Seed, Worry Seed, and all "Powder" based attacks (Poisonpowder, Powder, Rage Powder, Sleep Powder, Spore, Stun Spore). Unable to have Petal Dance disrupted by oncoming damage. Ignores Arena restrictions on Grass attacks requiring an external grass source. Bloom Command.
Abilities: Natural Cure | Harvest | Frisk [Hidden Ability | Unlocked]
Natural Cure: This Pokemon's body has the ability to heal itself of status afflictions over time, it goes into effect six (6) actions after being inflicted with a status. In switch battles, this Pokemon heals all status effects when switched out.
Harvest: At the end of each round, this Pokemon can recycle or restore a berry that has been used or partially used. If the weather is Sunny Day, the Berry will be fully restored / recycled 100% of the time. If the weather is not Sunny Day, the Berry will be fully restored / recycled 50% of the time. This check occurs immediately after the final action of a round, before any arena effects that might change the weather take effect. If the Berry can be activated again, it will do so on the first action of the next round. If a berry cannot be recycled, Harvest cannot regrow it.
Frisk: The Pokemon has intimate knowledge of the opponent's held item and ignores any item-based increases or decreases in damage, BAP and STAB from the opponent's item. This will not block the increase in BAP moves like Acrobatics and Knock Off that incur when an item is or isn't held. Item-Based increase in ranks (Such as from Rare Candy) are not negated by Frisk. The Pokemon will not be affected by Fling or Natural Gift.

Mabel [Female Mandibuzz]
Type: Dark | Flying
Dark: Dark STAB; ignores Attract and Confusion status entirely when using Dark-type damaging and non-damaging attacks.
Flying: Flying STAB; immunity to Ground attacks and the Arena Trap Ability except under the effects of Smack Down and Gravity, even for ground-based flying Pokemon. Will always hit foes with Dig (except other Flying types) and Dive. Cannot be hit by Dive unless the attacking Pokemon has a si e class greater than four (4). Unaffected by Spikes or Toxic Spikes. when switching in. Able to hit Pokemon in the evasive stage of Bounce, Fly or Sky Drop with single target moves that hit Pokemon on the field regardless of position.
Abilities: Big Pecks | Overcoat | Weak Armor [Hidden Ability]
Big Pecks: This Pokemon's sturdy wings prevent its defense from being lowered. The rate its defense stage drops towards its natural stage after a boost is also halved from one every round to once every two (2) rounds.
Overcoat: This Pokemon has a sturdy exterior that rebuffs the elements, making it immune to damage inflicted by bad weather. The Pokemon is also immune to "Powder" moves. (Full List: Cotton Spore, Poison Powder, Powder, Rage Powder, Sleep Powder, Spore, Stun Spore.) If the Pokemon is already immune to at least one (1) kind of weather, or powder attacks by typing or a different ability, Overcoat reduces the Base Attack Power of all oncoming attacks by one (1).
Weak Armor: By default the Pokemon loosens its worn defensive armor so that it will break off when an opponent uses a contact attack, reducing the Pokemon's Defense and increasing their Speed by one (1) stage for each hit. When toggled, no effect.
Nature: Careful

Brownie [Female Sableye]
Type: Dark | Ghost
Dark: Dark STAB; ignores Attract and Confusion status entirely when using Dark-type damaging and non-damaging attacks.
Ghost: Ghost STAB; immune to the effects of full trapping moves and the Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, and Shadow Tag abilities. Ghost types can switch out while affected by a partial trapping move, but they will be damaged every action by their effect.
Abilities: Keen Eye | Stall | Prankster [ Hidden Ability, Unlocked ]
Keen Eye: This Pokemon has extremely good vision and cannot have its accuracy lowered by an opponent through any means (including accuracy lowering attacks, Smogs, Hazes, Fog, etc.). Its vision also enables it to see through any attempts by an opponent to increase their own evasion.
Stall: This Pokemon has a watchful eye and immense patience. It can be ordered to attack last on any action regardless of ordinary attack priority. If an opponent orders their Pokemon to attack after the user of Stall, that attack will fail. Against another user of Stall, the trainer who issues attacks first has precedence and the opponent's attack will fail.
Prankster: The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks a +1 increase in priority level.

It's a wonder how Maxim just changes his standard team to knowingly eke out the best advantages of Normal-types in an Inverse battle. Let's see how this match will plays out without Megas, as the Gym Committee (who hasn't arrived yet) watches the battle (in a post-match tape) to decide whether this Gym arena will be accepted.
