Eterna City

{Eterna City Gym (Click)}Gardenia is the Official Gym Leader of Eterna City's Gym. She hands out the Forest Badge to Trainers who defeat her, and she specializes in Grass-type Pokémon. Gardenia has lived in Eterna all her life and even at a young age, she was fascinated with the forest that surrounds the city. She never was that much of a girly girl, and always loved to get down and dirty, whether it be in the garden with her mom, or mowing the lawn with her dad. Even now, she likes to explore the Eterna Forest, and she spends along of her time there, though she does everything she can to avoid the Old Chateau. As a young teen, she was out in the forest with her friends, and entered the old building alone on a dare. She didn't last that long in the building, and still refuses to talk about what happened to her. When she comes across people within the forest, she stops to warn the person of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding the Old Chateau and tells them to avoid it at all costs. Being the grass type gym leader for Sinnoh, It's not a shock that she loves grass type, but she is down right obsessed with the type. She will fawn over most grass Pokemon, especially if she has never seen the Pokemon before, she's even gotten in trouble for halting a battle all together to meet a Pokemon. While she adores one type, she despises another out of fear. She hates Ghost types, and is completely at war with herself over the Trevenant, and Gourgeist Families.
Gardenia's gym sits towards the outside of the city, and close to the edge of the Eterna forest. The outside of the gym contrasts the rest of the city, but is perfect for Gardenia's tastes. Vines and Shrubbery has begun to grow up the sides of the walls on the gym, in the spring they sprout beautiful flowers that be smelt up to a mile away. Once inside the gym, it opens up into one large room. Just like the outside the walls are coated with vines and plant life, only more so. The plant life climbs all the way up, and stops at the solid glass roof that lets in massive amounts of sunlight. The floor of the gym is nothing but grass and dirt, keeping it all natural so Gardenia, Caroline and anyone else can come in and plant what every they want where ever they want. The ground is flat all the way across, making it fairly easy for any type to battle on. There are no platforms for the battlers on the battle field, so they didn't disrupt the plant life, so the battlers will standing level with the battle field. The battle field is fairly versatile, and easy to battle on, though it has 3-4 trees, and multiple plants growing upon it. Over time, Gardenia has had a high tech sprinkler system installed in the gym, just in case of a fire during a battle, after hearing about Erika's first gym, she wanted to make sure hers would be safe. Though, that isn't Gardenia's favorite feature to the gym. On nice days, Gardenia will push a button on the wall directly behind her side of the field, which causes the glass roof to slide open and let in the cool breezes and some times even in rain.
