This was a contribution to #JohtoRedrawn. I decided to put Jasmine into a crystal arena, as the Mega Evolution of Steelix has these crystals, and I am still fascinated by that one anime episode where they encounter a crystal Onix. The arena floor itself is metal, and you can see various metal grids and beams, which represent the type of the gym itself. A floor sticker of Ampharos can be seen in the center of the gym. It is purposefully shaped like the Mineral Badge you can get here.
The trainer walking in is a hint to Nuzlocke mode. It is how Nick Franco, the creator of Nuzlocke, portrays his character. The Jumpluff is a wild-caught and evolved Hoppip. The mismatch in type again supports the idea of a Nuzlocke mode, as the trainer has only a limited selection of Pokémon to choose from.
I created a full-colour and retro-colour version of this piece. I personally prefer the retro-coloured one.
