When you arrive in the Gym's city, the Gym is temporarily closed as the Gym Leader is off solving an issue in the city. Someone has been stealing from the citizens, and you assist the Gym Leader in finding the thief, a Pawniard previously abandoned by its trainer.
The Gym Leader is a reformed criminal (or at least reformed troublemaker) who turned her life around after getting the chance to bond with a Sandile. She now runs a sanctuary for trainers from troubled backgrounds and for pokémon who have been abused by their trainers. Pokémon often do bad things in order to please their trainers, or they're taught to be nasty and cruel. At this gym, the pokémon can slowly recuperate and be reformed into healthy and happy pokémon.
She focuses on dark-types because edgy trainers who would force their pokémon to do bad things tend to gravitate towards dark-types, rather than because dark-types themselves are bad.
The trainers that you battle are variously reformed students who are giving their pokémon training that day. Each of them relates ideas about caring for damaged pokémon (and people) and comments on the protagonist's strong love for their pokémon. The Gym Leader, Luna, gives out the Chances Badge, as in Second Chances, and relates the reform of pokémon to the ability of the moon to be dark or to shine.
She gives out a TM for the move Beat Up, discussing the importance of having your friends have your back. Afterwards, Luna gives you the chance to take the Pawniard that you rescued under your wing.
