Virbank Gym: Difference between revisions

The Virbank Gym is designed as an underground music club. Upon entering, the {{player}} will have to go down some stairs and enter the club, where Roxie and her band are performing on the stage. The club also doubles as a place for bands to form, as posters fill the walls next to the staircase, and one of them notes a vocalist in the search of the rest of a band. The Gym has a large stage with a picture of a {{p|Koffing}} made out of graffiti on it, chairs and tables, a bar, and a booth for a DJ. Trainers must battle Roxie's two band members before she will battle them.

The Virbank Gym made its appearance in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' as an underground Gym located in an alleyway in Virbank City. {{Ash}} had his battle with Roxie which continued in ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', where he defeated Roxie and won the Toxic Badge, his final Unova Badge.

|desc={{p|Koffing}} was the first Pokémon Roxie used against Ash in their Gym battle. She captured it while she was in [[Kanto]], and it inspired her to assemble her rock band, "Koffing and the Toxics." When Ash, Cilan and Iris arrived at the Gym, it was seen defeating a Trainer's Gothitelle despite the type disadvantage. During the match, it defeated [[Ash's Boldore]] and {{AP|Unfezant}} rather easily, but was later defeated by {{AP|Leavanny}}.

|desc={{p|Scolipede}} was the second Pokémon Roxie used against Ash in their Gym battle. It quickly defeated Ash's Leavanny, but was later taken down by {{AP|Pignite}}'s powerful {{m|Fire Pledge}}, who had the type advantage.

|desc={{p|Garbodor}} was the third and last Pokémon Roxie used against Ash in their Gym battle. It defeated Ash's Pignite and {{AP|Palpitoad}}, but was later defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}, after getting {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} by his {{a|Static}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Certain Up, Unova League!]]''.

* In the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], when Roxie sings, she spells out '''Dogars''', the Japanese name of {{p|Koffing}}. In the English version, she spells out '''Pokémon''' instead.
