Arena: Rainforest
The rainforest is a densely wooded area which is so humid that Fire attacks will turn into steam a couple seconds after it is released into the air. Besides that, it will be constantly raining, so the fire will be put out anyway. However, the soil is rich and Grass-types get a 2% health boost at the end of each round as well as a 5% attack boost after modifications are calculated. Although it is possible flying won't be as easy in the rainforest, as it's very crowded with thick trees and there will be mist in the air, which lowers accuracy by one. Flying-moves, although can be successfully performed, will have a 5% attack loss as it is very crowded and will be hard to do. Ice attacks will simply melt after a few seconds of being released into the humid atmosphere. Every 3 rounds flowers will open up and pokémon get 1 action to drink the nectar from the flowers and receive a 10% health boost.
Keta the Shroomish feels right at home and quite comfortable in the hot and humid rainforest, smiling a little to himself as he feels the soft, springy ground beneath his feet and the pattering of rain against his body. This is just about the perfect place to battle, in his opinion, and he's certain that nothing PichuK could possibly send out to challenge him could ruin his mood. When a foul-smelling odor cuts through the thick and heady aroma of the rainforest flowers, however, his high spirits fall just a little bit. That sort of smell never accompanies anything pleasant. The Stunky that appears a few feet away from him flinches a little as the rain hits her for the first time, but she regains her composure quickly; the only thing standing between her and getting out of the wet is a silly little Shroomish that shouldn't be too difficult to handle at all. She growls and paws the ground, glaring a challenge at the slightly nervous Keta and anxious to get started.
Round One: Begin!
Stunky takes a moment to try and shake a little of the wetness out of her fur before focusing on the area directly in front of her. Or, to be more accurate, the area directly behind her. She turns her back to Keta and squirts a thick, purple liquid from the base of her tail. Keta flinches, expecting a spray of noxious fluid to hit him full in the face, but it never comes--Stunky's purple mess simply spills all over the ground by her back paws, sitting in an amorphous, smelly heap that the rain does little to dilute or wash away. When she figures she's expelled enough of the stuff she turns around again and sticks her forepaws into the sludge, sculpting and squashing it into the approximate shape of a second skunk. She leaves her paws in it for a little while longer and grunts, pushing a small amount of her life force into it. As soon as the sludgy skunk twitches, blinks and then turns its blank eyes on the Shroomish in front of it, the real Stunky appears to wink right out of existence.
Keta frowns and stares at his new "opponent". It's all... weird and goopy and doesn't look like a lot of fun to touch, really. Hoping against hope that he won't have a reason to, he takes a deep breath and puffs a flurry of whitish spores out of the top of his head. Unfortunately, the constant rainfall keeps the spores from getting them very far, plastering them to the loamy earth only a few inches in front of Keta. The faux Stunky simply continues to stare vacantly at him, totally unmoved by the failed attack.
The genuine article, on the other hand, has been observing the battle from her secret hiding place and is quite pleased. It's not like the little mannequin skunk would've been affected by the spores anyway, but it's always heartening to see one's opponent make a fool of itself. More than happy to add insult to injury, Stunky slips out of her hiding place, trots over to the pouting mushroom, spins around and gleefully gives him the face-full of gunk he'd been dreading earlier. The sludge drips down the shocked Keta's front and starts to seep in through his pores; he blanches and shudders as it stings his skin, already starting to feel a little ill. Stunky disappears again before he can really react. Quite annoyed and upset by this time, Keta releases another puff of spores in the substitute's direction. As before, the rain dampens the attack before it can reach its target. All Keta can do is sigh and hope the rain will wash off some of the poison before it can do more serious damage.
And wash it away is exactly what the rain does. The falling water feels good against Keta's tender face and clears much of the goo away, but it is too late to prevent the poison from taking its toll. Before Keta can really take the time to enjoy his slightly improved condition, however, the real Stunky bounds out of nowhere and heads straight for him. Keta stumbles backward, trying his best to duck the misfortune he knows is coming, but Stunky is too fast for him. This time the sludge that comes shooting out of her rear is thicker, darker, more foul... and there's a lot more of it. It splatters all over the Shroomish at high speed, burning much worse than the toxic slime from before and battering him back even further. By the time the rain washes off enough of the sludge to free up Keta's watering eyes, Stunky is gone again.
Keta's bottom lip trembles slightly as he glares through the rain at his foe's motionless body double. He knows by now that the rain is only good for rinsing stuff away (except for the substitute, which appears to be made of something more water-resistant than the rest of Stunky's excretions) and that another spore-spreading attempt is probably worthless. Still, he doesn't want to disobey orders and doesn't know what else he's supposed to do. Deciding to use a different approach this time, he skitters forward and stops as close to the sticky construct as he dares before releasing a third puff of spores. The end result is largely the same, however; the rain flattens most of the white powder against the ground before it ever reaches its target. The few spores that do manage to land on Stunky's substitute simply stick to it and sink harmlessly beneath its surface, leaving it still unfazed and unimpressed.

Ref's Notes
-Dry, floating particles like spores don't travel very well in the rain, causing all three instances of Spore to fail.
-Substitute technically doesn't "prevent" attacks, so I'm assuming you wanted Keta to go ahead anyway.
-For future reference, you can only order a maximum of three conditionals per action.
-How exactly do the "healing flowers" work? At what point do they open, exactly (the beginning of the first action of the third round, last action of the third round, first action of the fourth round, etc.)? And do they close again after that one action or what?
-PichuK attacks first next round.
