A little to the left of town, would-be challengers will notice a large gate that leads to the Navel Gym, which is perched atop the tall mountain. While a cable car to the summit is on offer, Danny encourages his opponents to make the steep climb on foot to truly test a challenger's strength.
Instead of a Pokémon battle, the challenger is put through three trial rounds, ending with a toboggan race down the mountain to earn the coveted Sea Ruby Badge.

Trivia
- The island shares similarities with Navel Rock in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; not only do they both have the word "navel" in their names, but they are also home to an extremely tall mountain.
