Oreburgh City

{ Oreburge City Gym (Click)} Roark is the official Gym Leader of Oreburgh City's Gym. He hands out the Coal Badge to Trainers who defeat him, and he specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. He is Byron's son and the grandson of the Underground Man. Roark, as the Oreburgh Mine's safety supervisor, and he lets the Trainers of Oreburgh train in the mines. Despite his young age, he keeps the mine running safely and efficiently. If he loses, he feels embarrassed that his Cranidos lost to a Trainer without any Badges and cautions the trainer that the following leaders are a lot tougher. When he isn't in his gym, he can often be found in the Underground, welcoming the trainers on their visit there, and explaining while also showing them the safe paths through it, and sometimes even helping those into the massive underground cavern. As a child, Roark spent a significant amount of time playing on Iron Island.
Roark's Gym fits very well into the city's mine aesthetic, so much so it's not even visible above ground. Roark's Gym is actually built into the mine that he works in, having a massive cavern carved into an abandoned and cleared area of the mine. That way he never really has to leave his work to battle. His gym sits a little ways into the mines, forcing the challengers to navigate there way through zig zags, and forks in the massive mine shaft systems. Though if they're lucky enough, they may run into miners that'll point them in the right direction. After navigating the mines, and locating the actual Gym within, the mine shafts will open up into a massive cavern, were the rocky walls reach up high into a rounded roof. The ground noticeably flattens out all across the large area, creating a rather neutral playing field. The walls and floors are covered in dents, and cracks from the many battles that were held there. The battlers stand level with the battle field, and there are a small set of benches on the side for those wanting to watch a battle, though usually only miners ever make it in time for the battles.
