Battlefield

The Fortree Gym (Japanese: ヒワマキジム Hiwamaki Gym) is the official Gym of Fortree City. It is based on Flying-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Winona. Trainers who defeat her receive the Feather Badge.

In the games

Leader: Winona

the world.

Fortree City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Winona

The bird user taking flight into the world.

The Fortree Gym cannot be accessed when the player first arrives in Fortree City, as an invisible Kecleon is blocking the path to the Gym. Once the player has met Steven on Route 120 and received the Devon Scope from him, they can make the Kecleon move aside, allowing the Gym to be accessed.

The Gym's passages are blocked by rotating doors that turn when the player walks through them, requiring the player to backtrack and go through certain gates multiple times to access the Gym Leader (and thus in Ruby and Sapphire, none of the Gym's Trainers can be avoided). A group of ledges can be used as a shortcut to get back to the entrance.

When defeated, Winona will give the player the Feather Badge as well as TM40 (Aerial Ace)RSE or TM19 (Roost)ORAS as a reward.

Winona & Pelipper
 

In the anime

The Fortree Gym first appeared in Who's Flying Now?, where Ash and his friends reached Fortree City. Although Ash was eager to challenge the Gym Leader to a battle right away, once he reached the top floor of the Gym, he was informed that the Gym Leader was actually in town celebrating a festival. Ash immediately rushed to the festival, where he met Winona, who agreed to have a battle with him the following day.

Ash and Winona's Gym battle occurred in Sky High Gym Battle!. After a challenging match, Ash was able to emerge victorious, earning him the Feather Badge.

The Gym is a tall, tower-like building with the battlefield located at the top, allowing all Flying Pokémon to use the sky to their advantage. Zachary is the Gym's assistant and referees the battles there. The philosophy of this Gym is to fly and fight.

Pokémon used in the Gym

 
Altaria
Main article: Winona's Altaria

The first Pokémon Winona used in her Gym battle against Ash was her Altaria. Altaria's attacks did not work against Grovyle due to its speed. It was ultimately defeated with Leaf Blade despite having the type advantage.

Debut Sky High Gym Battle!
 
Pelipper
Winona's Pelipper was the second Pokémon she used against Ash. Ash battled with Pikachu, starting with a Thunderbolt. Pelipper countered with Steel Wing as a ground. Pelipper then used Hydro Pump, but its wing lost contact with the ground and Pikachu took advantage of its mistake to use Thunder. Both Pelipper and Pikachu were knocked out due to the damage they took.

Pelipper's known moves are Steel Wing, Quick Attack, and Hydro Pump.

Swellow  
The final Pokémon Winona used against Ash was her Shiny Swellow. It was a strong battler, using powerful attacks like Aerial Ace and Hyper Beam. It defeated Ash's Grovyle easily and almost defeated Swellow as well, but with a little quick thinking on Ash's part, his Swellow was victorious, winning Ash the Feather Badge.

Winona's Swellow was the fifth Shiny Pokémon to appear in the anime. It is also the first Shiny Pokémon owned by a Gym Leader.

Swellow's known moves are Aerial Ace, Peck, and Hyper Beam.
