Mauville Racing Grounds' facility was enormous indeed; while the office space had little signage due to its size being on the smaller side, the property where the action took place, just outside the city proper, was enormous. Luckily, Josh had experienced staff who knew the facility well, and signage that could guide challengers to the correct location. The voice of ANDREW WEISS, Josh's scheduler, echoed over the Gym's loudspeakers:
"Challenger robin coello , please report to the Main Sector. Challenger Coello, to the Main Sector. Thank you!"
Provided Robin followed the ample signage to get to the Main Sector, where the facility's battle courts were located, she would find Josh removing the saddle from Crash, a Boltund whose tail was wagging as fast as a lightning bolt. "Hi, Robin!" Josh greeted the Ranger. "Please, Josh is fine! I'm excited; this is my first Gym match since becoming a Champion!" While most Gyms' battle courts had some variance to how large they were, Mauville's was notable for being extremely large; it was triple regulation size, and it was wide open, with plenty of channels for aquatic Pokémon to swim. Pokémon had plenty of room to run and nowhere to hide, playing into the ultrafast Pokémon on Josh's Gym squad and giving them quite the home field advantage.
The Gym Leader and Champion directed the challenger toward the west side of the triple-sized court, toward the Trainer's Box on the challenger's side. "According to your application, this will be a two-Pokémon Doubles match. The first side to incapacitate their opponent's entire Pokémon will be the winner. This match will have a seven-minute time limit, and ties will be broken by sudden death. Good luck to you; you'll need it."
Once the two trainers were positioned, the small gallery cheered, primarily for Josh, as the platforms rose to a height of roughly ten feet. The Gym Leader pointed toward the circular pool surrounding the inner ring of the battle court, the Boltund ready to do battle. He wouldn't be fighting alone; with a whistle from the Gym Leader, a black Charizard swooped in next to the giant, yellow dog, his tail burning brightly. "Now, bring forth your Pokémon and ponder your opening move. I can assure you it will be the only decision you will have time to think on," Josh taunted.
