In the games

The Gym in Emerald

The Rustboro Gym is in the Generation III games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. It is a simple field full of boulders and a small amount of members. There are no significant puzzles in the gym, although trainers can walk behind the members of the Gym and chose to skip directly to battling Roxanne if they wish. The trainers and the leader's party are different in Emerald.

When defeated, Roxanne will give the player the Stone Badge as well as TM39 (Rock Tomb) as a reward.

In the anime

The only appearance of the gym is in A Winner by a Nosepass!. After meeting Roxanne as a teacher in the Pokémon Trainer's School, Ash asks her for a battle. The academy and the gym are connected in many ways. Most of the matches are filmed, so the students can watch and study actual gym battles to learn more about them. Also, a few students work in the gym as interns to gain valuable experience as trainers. Some of the jobs are to clean the battlefield, film the matches, and be the referees. The battle is an elimination match with each trainer using two Pokémon, only the challenger is allowed to substitute Pokémon.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Before challenging Roxanne, the challenger must take a pop quiz on Pokémon, and cannot challenge the Gym Leader unless they pass.

The challenger, as well as Roxanne, can only use two Pokémon, and will lose if either one of them faints.

Sapphire battled here with her Aron, which defeated Roxanne's Nosepass.
