Gym

The Gym here, styled after a Cafe/Resaurant, is owned by a triad of trainers: Cilan, Chili and Cress, specializing in Grass, Fire and Water Pokemon, respectively.

As you enter the gym, there will be a sequence of three curtains representing one of the three types and three step-on buttons (also representing one of the three types) in front of each one. In order to advance through the gym, you must step on the button representing the type super-effective against the type on the curtain. This will cause the curtain to open, allowing you to progress.
