Petalburg Gym

Once you have 4 other badges you will be able to challenge Norman In the Petalburg Gym. The gym is divided into a ladder with one trainer in each room. You have to beat a trainer on the level before you can advance to the next level. Each trainer (except Norman) has only one pokemon. Each trainer gives their pokemon an item on their very first turn (the item being decided by what room they are in). Although the pokemon are not hard by themselves each room provides a different challenge because of the item that their trainers give them. You can go back and fight another trainer if you wish but you would first need to unlock that room form the lower level.
