Mistralton Gym
Revision as of 17:33, 24 August 2014 by Kogoro(talk | contribs)(→Appearance: Whoa! That badly needs to be thumbnailed!)
Mistralton City Pokémon Gym Leader: Skyla "The High-Flying Girl"
Mistralton Gym is designed like a military hangar.
In Black and White, the inside is full of cannons which the player must use to make their way to Skyla. Most of these cannons help the player to progress to Skyla; however, some will blast the player back to a Trainer.
In Black 2 and White 2, the interior of the gym has been redesigned to feature large fans that can blow the player across the room. Upon attempting to reach Skyla, the player can hide behind walls to avoid the heavy winds of the large fans. After defeating Skyla, a large fan that stands behind Skyla blows the player out of the gym.

Mistralton Gym in the anime appears to be inspired by its game counterpart, though it does have a dirt battlefield. It has a cannon that shoots Skyla into the air that will explode into confetti when she makes her landing.
It first appeared in Cilan Takes Flight! when Ash and his friends first arrived in Mistralton City and found out that Skyla accepts challenges outside the gym that she plays out in her head, which she calls "Air battles." Her grandfather, Miles explained that Skyla had lost her motivation as a Gym Leader, and no longer accepted battles from Trainers. Infuriated, Cilan challenged her to a battle, which she accepted, feeling a battle between Gym Leaders would be more exciting. Cilan ended up losing the battle, and Ash then challenged her, and insisted that she battled in a proper one-on-one battle. She reluctantly accepted, and in An Amazing Aerial Battle! Ash managed to defeat her and earn himself the Jet Badge. Skyla then agreed to take part in battles instead of Air Battles from then on, much to Miles's relief.
