+The [[place:Kzye City]] PokéGym is nicknamed **Magma Chamber** because it sits within the volcano. It's
+not an actual magma chamber, of course - it's mostly filled with air, just the bottom of the gym is
+covered in a layer of lava. It's a deliberately hazardous environment for pokébattles, though the actual
+fatality rate of pokémon is extremely low, since pokémon are commonly withdrawn from the battlefield
+in time by their trainers if they fall off the platforms.
+The biggest obstacle in the Kzye City PokéGym is [[character:Keith Sirius]]'s willingness to engage
+trainers, be that with area effects or otherwise - he's quite eager to leave their pokémon stranded
+without command, in one part to see if they've been raised as slaves or if they've learnt to think for
+themselves, in another simply because he enjoys horrifying his human opponents.

+Dakarai nods almost absent-mindedly, not quite realising that it can't be seen as he follows, staring
+with a slight incredulous glance at the walls of the corridor cut into the stone. They were heading
+into the mountain? What a bizarre place to carve a gym into - though Pyu Ivvi wasn't that much
+better, in comparison.
+"What're the rules?" Dakarai inquires, concentration latched more on the geological composition of the
+tunnel than on the conversation. - "Withdraw is a K.O., freeform, four vs. four in two on two battles,
+though I'm flexible about that last aspect," Keith remarks, seeming completely delighted to have a
+visitor.
+At least, those were his thoughts before seeing the interior of the actual gym. Softly, barely audible,
+layered across a sucked in breath, Dakarai hisses: "Shit," staring with a slightly frantic, but overall
+admirably composed wide-eyed look across the canyon. A canyon that would be entirely unforgiving if you
+fell into it - shifting at its bottom was a red, orange, gold and black medely proverbially spelling
+out 'heat' in capital letters.
+Think, Dakarai, think. His gaze inspects the walls, seeing the shuffled platforms. His lips pull taut
+as he stares at them, quietly reassessing the situation. Fafnir was useless here, at best, suicidal at
+worst. Any pokémon he sent out was gloriously open to being sent flying down that canyon. Withdrawing
+his pokémon would have the same effect as a K.O. - he could see why now. If his pokémon fell...
+Long minutes later, the thin aluminium bridge spanning the canyon has been pulled back, leaving no
+extra leeway for any pokémon losing its grip. And then, after a moment of fiddling with a sock, Keith
+straightens, fishes for two pokéballs from his pockets - checks whether they are the correct ones with
+an analytic glance, subtleties of which are lost all the way across the canyon - and finally gestures
+to start.
+And the THUNDER WAVE indeed passes through Soot without even slowing its motions, as if it were oblivious
+to the paralytic effect; but against his hopes, Fenrir is struck by it, fortunately striking the Houndoom
+down on a platform rather than between them; and the Flareon follows suit, briefly collapsing atop a
+platform a space removed. - ...the more tragic effect? Dakarai. A hellish sensation crackles across his
+skin, a feeling like static electricity, though ten times fiercer, causing his muscles to lock, falling
+to the ground. Keith, used to handling electric pokémon, does not quite suffer such issues, evidently
+well insulated. Shivering slightly, collapsed on the ground, past gritted teeth, Dakarai thinks:
+'Mental note to self: Buy rubber clothes for battles involving electric pokémon.'
