Johto Gyms
From Dexnet
To compete in the Indigo League, trainers must obtain 8 badges and present them at the Indigo Plateau as proof. There are eight gyms located within the Johto region, although Kanto badges qualify as well, and a combination of badges from Johto and Kanto are acceptable for League entry.
For more detailed information regarding gyms, see Gyms.

Violet Gym
Leader - Stacey Mitchell Gray
Badge - Zephyr Badge
This gym specializes in flying-type Pokémon. It is located on the top of a skyscraper in the middle of the city; the battlefield has no roof, so as to allow Flying-types their freedom to the sky.
Azalea Gym
Leader - Bugsy
Badge - Hive Badge
This gym specializes in bug-type Pokémon. The gym itself is located in a terradome-like structure on the outskirts of town, with a forest-like interior for the gym's buggy types to thrive in. The center of the forest holds a small battlefield, for the use of challenging trainers.
Goldenrod Gym
Leader - Shannon Vincent Gray
Badge - Plain Badge
This gym specializes in normal-type Pokémon. There isn't really much that's special about this gym - there's a small maze in the shape of a Cleffa that trainers must navigate through, but the battlefield itself is a simple arena-type one.
Ecruteak Gym
Leader - Shadar Arashi
Badge - Fog Badge
This gym specializes in dark-type Pokémon, along with ghost and psychic-types. This gym is currently under renovations since Shadar won the leadership from Morty; construction is undergoing as we speak. The new leader seems to want to make it a place where spiritualists of all kinds are welcome.
Olivine Gym
Leader - Jasmine
Badge - Mineral Badge
This gym specializes in steel-type Pokémon. This gym is rather set up like a metallic pyramid, with a simple dirt battlefield lying in wait on the bottom floor. Those Pokémon versed in earth-attacks would probably feel right at home.
Cianwood Gym
Leader - Chuck
Badge - Storm Badge
This gym specializes in fighting-type Pokémon. This is another gym fashioned much like a dojo; the trainers here are constantly improving both the skills of their Pokémon as well as themselves.
Mahogany Gym
Leader - Pryce
Badge - Glacier Badge
This gym specializes in ice-type Pokémon. A slippery ice-maze blocks the way leading to the central battlefield - a large arena court covered in ice, but for a central pool of water. There's something of a chill over the entire building... Bundle up before you come in.
Blackthorn Gym
Leader - Clair
Badge - Rising Badge
This gym specializes in dragon-type Pokémon. The Blackthorn Gym resides inside an old Victorian-style villa, a peaceful-looking place, somewhat at odds with the ferocity of the battles that rage within it. The roof of the gym is retractable, allowing dragon-types and other flying Pokémon to take to the air.
