1v1 single
Style: Set
DQ: Standard week
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned Moves: OHKO's
Arena: 2fort
2fort is made up of two mirror image forts opposite each other, separated by a water-filled moat, with a covered bridge spanning it. The battle takes place on the bridge and surrounding moat, with waterbound combatants swimming in the water, though land-based battlers can still leap in the water if needed.
The wooden bridge is flammable, but strangely will not burn down or break entirely, constantly seeming to repair itself after a few minutes. There are also two sewer entrances under the bridge, which lead to small rooms with stairs leading to the main bases, though these stairs (as well as the doors into the buildings themselves) are blocked off to the battlers for fear of them torching the intel or something jerkish like that.
At the start of the battle, each trainer will be assigned a team, RED or BLU, and keep the team during the whole battle. If a player of the opposing team gets too close to the other team's base (on the land on the other side of the bridge) there's a chance that a Sniper will fire on them, dealing 3% untyped damage if the shot hits.
A gentle breeze blows through the dry desert around 2fort, kicking up dust and dirt and tossing it into the moat and against the sides of the buildings. The area is still and quiet...quite and odd sight for a battleground as oft-used as this one. The shine of the barrel of a sniper rifle is visible in the upper windows of each fort, however.
But then the beating of the blades of a helicopter break the silence, and the airborne vehicle soon slides into sight, hovering over the top of the covered bridge and throwing down a ladder. The combatants and ref climb down and take their places on their respective sides of the battleground, RED on the left, BLU on the right, and the ref in the middle.
The RED team, commanded by a slender, red-headed female in a long white coat, shiny black boots, dark brown pants, and a large machine strapped to her back, is first to move. She pulls a Pokeball from her belt and tosses it gently, the Chinchou released from within settling into the moat under the bridge.
BLU moves next, this team led by willowy female of unidentified hair colour dressed in a blue pinstriped suit, balaclava, and gloves. She takes a small metal case from inside her coat and pulls out her Pokeball, releasing a Spinarak onto the inside of the bridge.
Orders are issued, and the ref waves his flag, which is...attached to a baseball bat (odd), signalling the start of battle!

---ROUND ONE BEGIN---
Shiia is the first to react to her orders, paddling around happily in the (relatively) fresh water of the moat. She makes an impressive leap out of the cool water to get a good look at her foe. She notes with interest that the spider Pokemon is surrounded by a large swarm of teensy insects, before splashing back into the water. She leaps again, this time charging a weak bolt of electricity between her antennae, launching it toward the Spinarak, who remained motionless, contemplating her own orders carefully; everything but be done right after all.
The spider jolts when the bolt strikes her, however, sending her swarm of insect followers into a frenzy, though they didn't leave their master's side. Niflheim tries to make a move to complete the commands she was given, but her body seizes up on her, and she flops onto her belly, making a low whining sound.
Merde.
Down in the moat, Shiia chuckles to herself, charging even more electricity up in her antennae. Another leap out of the cool water so she can get a good look at her target's location - moping on the wooden planks of the bridge, it seems - and she lets loose a sizable wave of electricity that washes over most of the battleground. Niflheim lets out a pained screeching sound as the energy washes over her, legs curling under her body involuntarily; she can't move. Her swarm reacts with a frantic buzzing, and their movement works itself up to a fever pitch.
Shiia is vastly amused by this turn of events; her fishy laughing getting louder and more happy. She leaps out of the water yet again, her antennae giving off a brilliant glow before letting loose a massive bolt of blindingly white lightning, which crashes into Niflheim dead-on, ripping another high scream from her as her legs twitch.
Seething with anger, Niflheim manages to pull herself to her many feet, swarm buzzing furiously around her. She glares around the covered bridge before skittering to the side and up the small wall to peer into the water. There--! She scowls down at the annoying little fish, who makes what can only be described as an 'eep' sound when she realizes that her target is
moving.
Niflheim's eyes gleam a briliant red, sending Shiia into a panic; she has no idea what the spider is planning but it is
probably very not good. She darts under the bridge as fast as she can, hoping to avoid whatever is coming her way. Niflheim isn't pleased when she realizes that the target of her anger managed to slip away,
ooooh no... She lets out a low hiss, glaring down at the water, legs twitching every so often. Shiia, meanwhile, giggles at her luck. She hasn't been hurt at all!
