*cough cough* Excuse me a moment *uses inhaler*

*clears throat* Alright, I'm ready. You must be (Name). I'm Itzal, the last gym leader in the Nita League. Defeat me, and you'll be able to go on and challenge the Nita Elite Four. And then, you'll become the Nita Champion, you say? Don't get so cocky. Our Carmen is a champion among champions. She's wiped the floor with countless trainers like you. Compared to her, I'm quite easy to beat, I suppose, but I'm certainly no pushover. You'll learn that soon enough.

Now, as you might've guessed from the décor of my gym, I specialise in ghost types. This battle will be a full six-on-six, and we are both allowed to make substitutions. As per usual, the battle will end when one of us is out of pokemon who can fight. Should you defeat me, I will give you the Netherworld Badge. With that, let the battle begin!

Oh? That's an interesting first choice. I wonder how your leading pokemon will fare against my decidueye. Arbole, the stage is yours!

Hmpf. Looks like Arbole has been defeated. You're off to a good start. Now, let's see if you can beat my other five. You'll face Yuki, my dear froslass, for now.

And you've bested me again. Hm? What's with that look on your face? Do you seriously think that you've won? I have four left. Murasaki, go! My chandelure should set you straight.

I'm getting rather annoyed now? What? No, it's not because I'm losing. 'Twould be unprofessional of me, since I am a gym leader. No, that celebratory dance you're doing is totally insufferable. Pride comes before a fall, trainer. Just because you have the advantage now, you can't assume that you've won. Now, you'll face the wrath of my ace, Nekane. See if you'll still be dancing when I show you the power of mega evolution!

You don't look so confident now. Three of your team have fallen to my little banette, and it seems that you think you're about to lose. Not so. You see, just as I turned the battle around, you can, as well. Remember, should you defeat Nekane, Yurei, my drifblim, and Bruja, my mismagius, you'll get the Netherworld Badge. Let's see if you're up for the challenge.

My, my, my. You really turned things around, didn't you? Very well, as the league rules state, I must give you my badge. Here is the Netherworld Badge. And yes, have the TM for my favourite move, shadow sneak, as well. And as a bonus, I'm giving you our village's famous gateaux Basque. Feed this to one of your pokemon, and they'll be battle ready within minutes. Take care. Oh, and before you ask, no, I am not letting you in my secret underground chamber, where I keep the Muerto Orb. I don't care if you really want to meet our region's deadliest legendary pokemon, Muermonio. It's simply too dangerous.

Now go. Before I take back my badge...
