The Veilstone Gym is a dojo comprised of several smaller rooms intersected with mobile walls. Trainers wait in the tiny cubicles. To get to Maylene, the walls must be shifted in and out of the cubicles so that the empty spaces in the walls line up with each other and a path is clear. Maylene's students are four {{tc|Black Belt}} brothers who call themselves the "Karate Quads" and insist they fight "for LOVE!" "for COURAGE!" "for HOPE!" and "for TEARS!"

The Veilstone Gym appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', and ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. [[Paul]], {{an|Dawn}}, and {{Ash}} battled [[Maylene]]. Paul won, Ash tied, while Dawn lost her first and only Gym battle.
The Veilstone Gym first appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', where it was revealed that [[Paul]] had recently challenged Maylene and easily beaten her, shaking Maylene's confidence and making her consider giving up her job as a Gym Leader. Having recently lost two {{pkmn|Contest}}s in a row, {{an|Dawn}} sympathized with her, and, to everyone's surprise, decided to challenge Maylene herself in order to restore her self-confidence.
 
The battle between Dawn and Maylene occurred in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. Although Dawn gave it her best in her first ever Gym battle, she ended up losing. Despite this, she was happy to see Maylene regaining her self-confidence and being ready to challenge {{Ash}} the next day.
 
In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', Ash finally had his Gym battle with Maylene. During the battle, a part of the roof was blown off, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] to utilize its {{a|Swift Swim}} Ability when it started to rain. Using this in combination with its newly learned {{m|Water Pulse}}, Buizel fought hard against Maylene's last Pokémon, {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}, but in the end, the battle ended in a draw. Despite the tie, Maylene still chose to award Ash with the {{badge|Cobble}}.
