Welcome to the Mossrock City Gym
Nix is the first of the "trainers" of Shula to take a gym over from one of the longer standing Gym leaders, so this is her side job along with being the head of the rangers. She's 26, a mother of 3 and a trainer to 7 pokemon who have all become an extended family, as well as having a larger extended family and meeting and aiding a lot of people in her work and travels so odds are, you know this woman already.

Her gym is laid out in a simple manner, seeing as she had no idea how to do it when she was told she would be able to design the place however she likes. As you walk in, on the left is a small room with no door which has clearly been made for trainers to leave bags and coats and the like. Beside it is a simple carpeted area, a couple of chairs and a small table laid out for anyone wanting to wait or watch their friend or relative battle.
There are a few bookcases here, these mostly filled with fairy tale stories of pokemon, gijinka and the legendary pokemon though nix has slipped in a few fact files about other gym leaders in the region, a small request for aid with Shula's biggest issue and a little satisfaction form for people who have battled or have seen her battled to fill out, pens of course available upon request from the leader herself. There are also a small pile of toys in the corner of the "coatroom" which one can sometimes find littered over the floor here, children are welcome to use and it seems some do use them quite often from time to time.
If you are coming to the gym without having called ahead and made an appointment, the odds are that the rest of the gym will be very dark with only a small fire being able to be seen at the far end of the gym, though this is lined with a pair of what seemed to be wooden bookcases so its not easy to spot as you first step in the door. If you stand in the middle of the waiting area, its easy to see if its on or and not and if it is, nix is back there somewhere.
If you have called ahead or planned to be there, or once you let the ranger know you are, around rings of light will slowly fade up just a little to show that the room is very large and around in shape, the walls coated in something very dark which seems a line between paint and wooden slats while the floor is simple dirt with the odd patch of grass just peaking up around a series of rocks, boulders and outcroppings. A couple of these stick out from the wall, though most come up from the floor with a scattering being clearly dropped or placed there.
Once a battle has been agreed, and both trainers are ready to start, the lights will come all the way up. The room will be flooded with a yellow light from 8 ringed lights on either way and 5 very large ones built in to the roof, a small pool of very simple water and a pair of water lilies is sitting in the corner behind one of the rocky outcroppings, though it can only be noted due to the reflection of the lights in the roof.
