As soon as you enter Sacrum Town from the harsh blizzard, you hurry to the Pokemon Center to heal your team before you go to the gym. While you're waiting for your Pokemon, a young woman in her early twenties comes up to you to ask about the weather. She has shaggy black hair with a couple of light blue streaks, grey eyes, a light blue shirt, black jeans, black converse high tops, and a long black jacket. Her winter hat begins to rustle on her head and a small blue Mudkip pokes it's head out to look at the new arrival before settling back down under the hat. You tell the strange woman that there was a blizzard and you came to get the towns gym badge. She informs you that the gym is straight north at the beginning of the wood, and it's a dominant ice type gym. She also tells you that you had better be lucky to get through the gym as Nurse Joy hands her a pokeball. She releases the Glalie contained inside before winking at you and leaving, trailed by a Glaceon. Once Nurse Joy gives you back your Pokemon, you leave and head for the gym. From the outside, it greatly resembles a large igloo with carvings, more like windows, of a Glalie's markings and a Glaceon's ears. You shrug and open the door, which may have been a horrible idea.

As soon as you set foot inside the gym, you're bombarded by chillingly moist air and snow. The man standing by the statue goes through his regular speech of "Yo, champ in the making, this gym is pretty tough. You better burn them with a fire type, blah, blah, blah. " As you roll your eyes at this and consider using your Pikachu to thunderbolt him, he informs you of the trick to reach the gym leader. He points to a long tunnel going up with a ladder leaning against it and says to climb up through there, and the rest is all luck. Apparently the route of the tunnels is constantly changing, and you won't go the same way twice. He finishes his pep talk with a "you can do it!" and sends you on your marry way. You dismiss the idea of thunder bolting him.

You climb up the ladder and come to a forked tunnel which is covered in snow and you're crawling on hands and knees, the occasional hole allowing artificial light through. Using you excellent traveling skills, which consist of picking one at random, you choose to go to the right. Another forked tunnel, this time left. A dead end. Turning around to go back to where you were previously to take the other route, you come to find out that that route has disappeared, leaving three routes. You pick the far left. Another dead end. Instead of turning around, there's a small opening to a shaft. You decide to go through there. You slide down the ice covered slope and look back to see no escape. A young woman wearing skies, which make no sense because you're in a building, comes out of the shadows out and states, "I'll finish you before you even get to the Gym Leader." You defeat her easily and she hands over your winnings. You turn around to see that the slid had now become a ladder, that of which you quickly climb to escape the crazy, ski wearing, axe murder that hides in the shadows of rooms that can't be escaped from. As you continue to crawl through the tunnels, trying to shake the axe murder's image from your head, you take a right, then another right, a dead end, turn around, take a completely different path, and come to another slippery shaft, and are greeted by a male ace trainer wearing a snow suit and he can't put his arms down. He greets you with an enthusiastic, "ijaefihjwadfgijhgdf." Or that's all you understood because his voice was muffled by the snow suit. You battle, his Pokemon can't understand what he's saying, he loses, you get money, you get the hell out of there. You climb back and come to a shaft on your left side, and a ladder on your right. He hear the statue mans chattering teeth and decide to climb down to see what's up. You go over to him and ask him what happened to the tunnels. He tells you that you had defeated the two trainers and may now challenge the Gym Leader, although he strongly recommends healing your team first. You do so and head back to the gym.

As you climb back up the ladder, you notice that you can only go down the shaft, there is no other way to go, so against your better judgment, you slide down with the manliest squeal of joy you can muster. You land in a snow bank and look up to see a huge cavern of icicles, rocks, large pointy rocky icy things, some snow, uh, more snow. Okay, it's very shiny and cold, lets go with that. You look to the opposite end of the gym and see the strange woman from the Pokemon Center making a replica of her Sealeo out of snow. The other woman in the room, siting on a platform parallel to the battlefield playing with a Spoink, doesn't notice you. You clumsily push your way out of the snowbank and fall all over the place trying to regain your balance. The woman with the Spoink calls to the other, "Hey! Clove! Ya gotta caller over here!" The other woman thanks the Sealeo and returns it to it's Pokeball. She walks slowly to her end of the battlefield and says to you, "A new challenger? Well, okay. But I must warn you, I'll freeze you worse then that blizzard with my ice Pokemon. You're gonna need all the luck you can get." From there you begin your battle.

After a long and intense battle, you finally manage to beat her Glalie and the three on three match is finished. She gives a small smile and walks across the battlefield. When she comes to the center third, she nimbly jumps from one floating ice patch to the next and continues towards you. Once she finally reaches you, she says happily, "Wow, that was a really fiery battle. It was so hot, it sent chills up my spine. Here, you've earned this." She hands you the badge from her gloved hand. The badge resembles a Snorunt's cloak, with the diamond on the back of a Glaceon in the middle. Her hat rustles again and once again the Mudkip pokes it's head out to look at you, this time holding something in it's mouth. She takes a disk from the Mudkip and it crawls back into her hat. She hands you the disk and tells you, "This is one of my favourite ice moves, it's Aurora Beam, it's pretty neat. Good luck on your journey, doll." She pats you on the arm and gives you a wink before pointing back at the shaft to reveal a ladder out. You thank her and hurry out of the freezing gym.
