Dendron Gym

The Dendron Gym is the fifth gym of the Caracara region. It is led by the Ghost-type trainer Blackspot and may only be challenged after speaking with him at the House of Solitude on Route 7.

In addition to its status as a gym, the building acts as the town's schoolhouse. Interrupting class by battling the schoolkids teleports the player to the statue near the entrance while turning the floor black, setting up guard ghosts to block the path forward and possess various props, and changing character dialogue to become more disturbing, with such lines as "Won't anyone help me...?" and "What is this place? Wasn't I...?".

After defeating all of the teachers, the player can interact with the statue to open the way to the gym leader.

Trivia
Being that he is the art teacher, Teacher Ross is likely a reference to Bob Ross, a famous art instructor who hosted PBS art program The Joy of Painting.
