Only going by the name 13th & Capital, this speakeasy like gym illegally operates not in the offshoots, the slums, or distant neighborhoods in Trovitopolis on the Southern Mandarin Island, but right in the heart of its busiest and most successful district. In a back turn and twisted ally that conjoins two of the main streets of the nonstop and high-rise city, a shabby door is continuously flanked by clutter, trash, street urchins, and shady deals. Knowing the right person can get you in, but bringing the wrong Pokémon can get you kicked.
A steep wooden staircase descends unto an underground stadium– much smaller than the gym’s not too far, but practical nonetheless. People crammed around the circled dirt scream and cheer, holding their bets and swinging back drinks. Clearly not up to code, the gym’s walls are fortified by old and torn posters of Pokémon with large red crossed out circled emboldened with the words “banned”; Salamence, Gardevoir, Blaziken, and Greninja are the more easily recognizable faces behind the worn red letters.
It’s here the everyday man can create something new of himself, where the love of Pokémon battles isn’t skewed by the ultimate strategy of amazing stats and the perfect movepool, it’s here where a Samurott, a Palossand, or a Victreebel can reign supreme. Challenging the leader of 13th & Capital is putting one’s reputation on the line, hence the Reputation Badge (still nonapplicable in the Pokémon League).
Thus, winning elevates one’s status as more than just a Pokémon Master– it gives street cred. Losing, however, isn’t disrespect, it’s humbling. No one is turned away, no one is made a fool, all are welcomed and accepted, just as the Pokémon are. Leave the pseudo mons for the pseudo elite and come down 13th & Capital for that real battling shit.
