Original challenge and acceptance.

Information and Arena said:
2vs2 Single
Style: Switch
DQ: 7 Days (Standard Week)
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned Moves: OHKO's, 3 Chills / 1 Recovery
Arena: Foggy City

The setting for this "Arena" is the town centre of a small-scale city - which is currently coated in a deep, soupy fog. Various manmade obstacles litter the city square, such as railings, ramps, stairs, fountains and statues; but the very centre is essentially flat ground all the same. Small 10 story office buildings and apartments surround the square and offer dim beacons as the sporadic lit window illuminates the dense fog, and the moon overhead catches the mist eerily giving the entire city a soft glowing illumination. The fountains hold enough water to support aquatic Pokemon, and can be used for small the medium-scale water moves. More intensive moves however such as Surf or Hydro pump are unusable. (Or at least, at anywhere near full power)
Due to the thick fog, vision is nearly completely obstructed, and unless at point-blank ranges Pokemon and competitors will be unable to see eachother. Ranged attacks suffer a 50% accuracy penalty. Melee moves at point-blank range suffer no penalty.
Due to the damp, foggy conditions; Water and Electric attacks travel easily and gain a 1% boost to damage. (After all other calculations.) Conversely, Fire and Poison based attacks will struggle to not dissipate and thus suffer a 1% penalty to damage. (After all other calculations)
Every round, there is roughly a 25% chance that disgruntled inhabitants of the surrounding buildings (Whom were unaware a rather disruptive Pokemon battle was to take place in the middle of the night) may poke their heads out their windows to shout obscenities and insults, throw objects, or both. Although there's next to no chance they can score hits in this weather, the distractions of shouts and crashing objects is likely to tick off competing Pokemon and has a chance of causing the effects of Taunt or Torment on either competitor.
The Fog also acts as a Haze of sorts, and disallows Stat-Up moves of all kinds. However, Defog can be used to remove ALL fog effects for 5 turns. Resident shouters however will continue, and now have a 50% chance of scoring a hit with their flung objects for between 1-5% neutral element damage. (Ghosts are an exception, and are immune to this damage - after all shoes and terracotta pots will just fly right through them)


Other: Summary notes:
- Ranged Attacks have a 50% Accuracy penalty
- Water/Electric have a 1% Damage boost, Fire/Poison have a 1% Damage reduction
- 25% chance per round of citizen causing disruptions that may Taunt or Torment either Pokemon
- Fog acts as a permanent Haze
- Fog can be cleared for 5 turns using Defog, which removes ALL penalties and boosts and essentially leaves the field neutral. Residents continue to shout however and gain a 50% chance of scoring hits with their thrown objects when they appear.

By the luck of the draw:
  1. Eon Spirit sends out pokemon.
  2. L'il Dwagie sends out and attacks.
  3. Eon Spirit attacks.
  4. Empoleon refs.

Now, I want a good, clean fight.
 
Aah likewise I don't believe my Ammy has had a go yet~ And she's meant to be the star of my team. Tis time for my RioRio'Ru~ Amaturasu~
Good luck Eon~ Whereever you are..
And speaking of which, let's track down the mouser~ Catch him with Foresight. Next up, Swagger. Confuse the everloving daylights out of him, he can't throw a hard punch in this weather - if he could in the first place. Finally, Dig underground and we can watch the little'un.
'Fcourse we all know those electric types. If he throws a Thunder Wave at you, Copycat it and throw it right back. Try not to touch the little sparkler, either, not yet~

Foresight/Copycat ~ Swagger/Copycat ~ Dig/Copycat
 
Hmm, riolu, eh? Well, Spatz use Encore to annoy the sucker, than use Charge to help for something else, then use Sweet Kiss to put this fool on Ice, or confusion. If that encore runs out (doubt it) use Flas instead.

Encore ~ Charge/Flash ~ Sweet Kiss/Flash
 
Round One
The city is quiet and dark, the silence only broken by the occasional drunk stumbling from bar to bar. Within the older part of the city, there is a large center dominated by a fountain depicting the town’s founder. A cobblestone road surrounds it and five streets run off in different directions. The streets are quiet. As night falls and the moon rises, two trainers gather, exchanging competitive looks as they wait for their referee to appear. As they wait, a dense fog settles over the arena and they take their positions. The ref arrives a few moments later, stammering out into the foggy night to make sure both trainers are present and can hear him. He doesn’t know how he’ll be able to ref this battle because of the fog, but hastily gets the battle started.

Commands: Foresight/Copycat ~ Swagger/Copycat ~ Dig/Copycat​

And with that, the battle begins. Both trainers send out their pokemon and issue commands into the hazy fog, hoping their pokemon can hear them and follow the commands. The only sign of the battle from the three human's perspectives is the distant yips and cries of the two pokemon somewhere within the fog.

Riolu's attack is first noticeable as a thin red laser pierces the fog, scanning the area for his opponent systematically, working from left to right. As he slowly scans, not far from him Spatz starts clapping, enticing Riolu to continue the technique. He does, and the red beam of light continues as Pichu continues following his trainer's commands. He crouches down and focuses, shutting his eyes and puffing out his cheeks as he summons sparks from around him, gathering them within his body.

The red laser locks on to Spatz, but as the Pichu moves again, he is lost. Riolu continues to scan patiently, refracting the beam through the fountain as he continues back again on the arena. Suddenly, Pichu emerges from the mist and stops to the side of Riolu. He then jumps up and kisses Ammy on the cheek before retreating back into the fog. Riolu stumbles a bit and his laser beam falters for a moment as he continues his search.

Both pokemon hold their positions in the fog, awaiting their trainer's commands, though they in fact probably know a bit more about their situation than the trainers or the referee know.

Notes
  • Flash did nothing because of the Fog/Haze. (Neither would have Swagger, except confuse the target)
  • In the next round, for Pichu’s first electrical-type attack, the power will be doubled because of Charge.
  • Foresight will last for the next two rounds.
  • Referee is using Veekun for pokedex and Random.org for generating randomness.

Edit: Forgot about this part...

1. Eon Spirit attacks.
2. L'il Dwagie attacks.
3. I ref.

Good job little buddy, now that that's set, use Magnet Rise so as to avoid the nuiscance of ground abuse, than use Charge, and finally Thunder Punch, but if the confusion breaks, use sweet kiss instead.

Magnet Rise/Sweet Kiss ~ Charge/Sweet Kiss ~ Thunder Punch/Sweet Kiss
 
(Empoleon just pointing out, Ammy is Female, not Male.)

Alright Ammy.. Bit of a rough start ((Gods Encore is broken)), but lets have another go at Swagger. Return the favour to the little blighter. When you hit it off, have a few jabs at him with Poison Jab. Might even get some nice innate damage if you poke hard enough~

Swagger ~ Swagger/Poison Jab x2
