Mahogany Town was an ordinary little town with a warm, lived-in feel. But Roy was in no mood to take in the sights. He headed toward Mahogany Gym with a worried frown.
Anyone who saw him might have thought he was in serious trouble.
The locals were a little surprised to see an unfamiliar trainer. Few people came to challenge Mahogany Gym.
At the entrance, Roy stopped and stared helplessly at the Gym. It was made of ice and looked like a palace from the outside.
Two apprentices stood outside. When they saw the name on Roy's ID Card, they didn't even ask whether he had an appointment. One hurriedly stepped aside and gestured for him to enter. The Gym Leader was already waiting inside.
Roy followed an apprentice to the door. Before he even went in, a cold wind swept over him. Winter hadn't arrived, yet the temperature inside Mahogany Gym was already below freezing.
It was far colder than the streets of Mahogany Town.
He had barely taken a step when he felt something watching him. He turned and found an ice sculpture of a Swinub.
The sight of it didn't put him at ease. Instead, he instinctively raised an arm to guard himself.
When Pryce took action personally, he embedded his wheelchair in ice and covered himself with a cloak. Even if the ice was damaged by an attack, he could restore it—the technique known as Permanent Ice Wall.
Roy wondered whether the Pryce before him knew that technique.
Noticing Roy's reaction, the apprentice explained that the sculptures were all the Gym Leader's work. There were many more inside.
As they walked through the Gym, lifelike ice sculptures lined both sides of the passage. Some depicted Pokémon, others people.
Like other Gyms, Mahogany Gym had several Arenas.
