>Gym is an industrial toxin refinery and waste management center. Poisons taken from Pokemon like Koffing and Varoom are processed into things like perfume and fuel. Gym trainers dress like sanitation workers with gasmasks. Whole place looks like a mishmash between a junkyard, a factory, and a garage laboratory.
>The Gym Leader is the Fanatical Refinery Boss, Anders. Though, his official job title is 'Executice Officer of Waste Management, Resource Allocation, and Pokemon Wellness'.
>Anders is a tall, muscly guy with the low posture and brutish mannerisms of a delinquent, constantly grinning and laughs like a hyena. He enforces strict safety policies for everyone except himself: he wears work pants and work pants, but leaves his arms exposed by with a white tanktop. He's got a gas mask, but it dangles around his neck instead of being worn properly. His face has a permenent purple tinge because of how many times he's been poisoned, and he's got numerous chemical burn scars because of how casually affectionate he is with Poison-types.
>Despite his appearance he's aggressively friendly, knows all his employees by name and a sincere love for all Poison-types.
>Gym challenge requires powering up the latest in pollution-powered technology: the ToxiTrain! Runs on poison, outputs clean air. Challengers gotta explore the facility and collect five Poison Cans to ride the train to the end of the line.
>Poison Cans can be earned by defeating gym trainers, catching wild Poison-types in the junkyard (a held Poison Can acts like a Black Sludge), or by taking a poisoned Pokemon to an 'Emergency Antidote Station' which will yield a can after removing the status
>Most of the gym challengers use basic pollution Pokemon, with surprises (gasmasked Aroma Lady with an Arbok and a Gloom, researchers in a double with a Poison Heal Breloom and a Prankster Shroodle to poison it). Only actual required battle before Anders is a surprise ambush by the train conductor.
