Njoty is a busy town submerged in an urban feel. At the crossroads between the tourist magnet that is Kethi, the mysterious Vereheq Ruins, Mount Black and Togi, Njoty sees itself as a pivotal point of trade, and has grown accordingly. It's one of the largest cities in all of Sehto, counting about nine thousand inhabitants scattered about its cluster of stout skyscrapers.

Collected from Arsaga:
Compared to Kethi City, Njoty is definitely something else. Only about three streets into the heart of Njoty, it's quite clear our 'heroes' are lost, and have utterly no idea where to go.
As the sun is starting to set by now, the city is in the firm grip of dusk, which seems to seep through the streets viscuously, pulling along people in its wake. Sure, there are plenty of people one could ask for directions, but they all look fairly focussed on getting home from a day of work.
[The PokéCenter] looks several times larger and more modern than the archaic PokéCenter in Kethi City, with motion sensor sliding doors for a start, and much glass in its design.
Directions from the PokéCenter to the Tourist Information Center:
“A'ight, well, just go north from here, skipping two junctions, before you reach the fountain - that's the start of a pedestrian zone. Head right there, then left at the next junction, and follow the road further north for about two hundred metres. Keep a watch out for the roads to the left - but it should be the fifth road branching off, if I have my maths right. Go in there and you should see it instantly.” She taps her finger on the destination. “You needn't go inside for a pamphlet, they keep a handful of them outside.”
It seems the Tourist Information Center is about as far away from the PokéCenter as it is from the gym, making for quite the walk, with the streets continually draining of people. The last rays of sunlight are slowly dwindling by the time they identify the gym - a tall glass building with minimal but ambient illumination at its edges, its many storeys filled with various plant life. It's labelled 'Pterygotamorphic Pokémon Science Center' and an indicator of what is on which storey is just outside it, reading:
- 'Ground Floor - Reception, Dr. Kelebek'
- 'First Floor - Cecile Madhukar, Pokégym'
- 'Second Floor - Arista and Altair'
- …
It's actually fairly dark in the building itself, though if their assumption's correct that most of the biotopes hold pokémon, then they'd no doubt want their sleep at night - so it's not that surprising. The brightest light, a dim, welcoming orange glow, is cast across the silver, arced reception desc, with darkness leading towards the back wall of the building, through which the soft blue light of the night is spilling in, glinting across the first stairs just barely visible from here.
The first floor is mostly dark, with only a spherical light atop a torch-like conical design near the gym's entrance lighting the area, glowing in the orange tone that the light at the reception did. The doors, however, are closed and seemingly have no handles, and there's no knocker or doorbell.
The light [in the gym] reveals a small but sufficiently sized arena, looking a bit like an indoor basketball court in regards to its size, with its far wall a pane of glass. Beyond the same are two substoreys - and what's visible of the rooms there shows that Cecile probably at least lives here occasionally.
“I've got a futon that can hold two of you, and a fairly comfortable armchair you could curl up in or just sit-sleep in, but that's pretty much it, unless someone prefers the floor with generous amounts of - well, unfortunately rather thin - blankets?”
