Arena Description: Sketchpad
A giant pad of paper made for transferring imagination into reality, everyone probably knows what one of these is. Except this one is big. Humongous, even. Yet for all intents and purposes it's flat, slightly textured surface provide an incredibly neutral field for battle. However, the paper seems highly resistant to normal damage, and as such the likes of fire, water, or any other damaging elements will not immediately disintegrate it's being as they may normal paper.
The ref plays an extra role in this battle, however.. upon accepting they are granted a magic pen, capable of bringing life to what is drawn onto the paper. As such, the ref gets to decide the arena effects each round, for better or for worse. (Try to remain unbiased though!! Most effects should probably affect both contenders unless you want to get creative with balance)
The catch is, they actually have to DRAW it - obviously. So with a little creativity (NOT asking for artistic genius here, Paint and scribbles will work, though effort would be appreciated~) this battle can flow as their fingers decide.
EVERY ROUND THE REF SHOULD DRAW THEIR CURRENT PERCEPTION OF THE BATTLE ON A 750x450 PIXEL TEMPLATE, AS WELL AS ADDING THE EFFECTS THEY WISH. For instance, the ref may draw a pond and colour the rest of the sheet green, to bring the battle to a grassy field with a small pond.
The ref may draw on the ENTIRE ARENA as they wish.
ADDITIONALLY, every three rounds STARTING AT ROUND TWO (Meaning the first round is played by contenders normally, then this will come into play, then two more will be played normally, and it will come into play again) both contenders will receive a disposable pen of their own, which will have enough ink for ONE EFFECT. By using a turn labelled as "Sketch", a Pokemon may sketch a desired effect using this pen, either immediately, or holding onto the pen for a later round. (Only two may be held at one time)
When a pen is used, the contender uses the same 750x450 pixel sheet to illustrate their desired effect, BUT THEY MAY NOT DESCRIBE IT WITH WORDS. Instead, the ref judges from their drawing alone and applies the effect as such!
When a contender produces their own effect, the ref will copy their drawing and ADD to it, but not OVERRIDE it. If both players use their pens at the same time, the player whose turn is first gets first dibs, the second player may ADD but not OVERRIDE it, and the ref takes last priority. A player's effect may only affect a maximum of HALF THE ARENA.
(FOR EXAMPLE: If Player 1 draws a field of Fire on the left side of the field, player two may draw the right side of the field with water, but NOT cover the existing fire. The ref is then within their liberty to add, for example, a platform on either side - but not remove or edit player effects drastically.)
Finally, at the end of every round the pad is wiped clean to begin anew. Meaning at the beginning of every round, it will have returned to a clean, neutral field until edited again.
Pre-Round Notes
Through a mysterious, crayon-looking door walk three people, looking to find out where it leads. The door slams shut behind them as the last person walks through, leaving them stranded on a giant piece of paper. Being trainers, naturally, the first priority is to have a battle! The contestants take their places at the ends of the field, leaving the third person to be the referee. A mysterious pen appears in her hand as she signals to send out the Pokémon. One flash of light forms into a Pichu, the other into a Riolu missing one of its arm. The referee calls for the battle to begin.

Round 1 Begin!
Before either battler can make a move, the referee runs onto the field, and with the same pen begins scribbling all over the battlefield. When finished, she leaps back, just as her drawing comes to life: ice juts out and the majority of the battlefield suddenly becomes water, accompanied by a sharp drop in temperature. (
Arena)
Ignoring the now-frostbite-inducing temperature, Anna focusses her energy, a flickering gloden sheen appearing and covering her skin, changing her to an entirely golden Riolu. Shocktail, revolted by what he has to do but loyal to his trainer nontheless, darts forward and plants a kiss on Anna's face, toxins in his lips intended to cause confusion; unfortuately, the Magic Coat causes the toxins to return to Shocktail himself, which he notices almost immediately as the world seems to be melting, distorting, and shifting around. It makes him feel very ill. The Magic Coat, its job complete, fades away, leaving Anna as a regular-colored Riolu once again.
Leaving Shocktail to stagger about, Anna switches to a more combat-oriented stance, ready to better strike at her foe. A pale red aura begins to form around her foot as the staggering Pichu looks at her, charges at the one on the left, and misses wildly, tripping and skidding along the ice, though through some stroke of luck he stops before he falls in. Even in his confusion, he has the sense to get away from the edge, doing so just as Anna comes flying through the air with a massively bright red aura around her foot, smashes into his face with a loud CRACKing sound, and then leaps away.
Shocktail's mouth no longer seems to work properly, his jaw not opening or closing controllably; he is also in a lot of pain. He begins thinking horribly dark and possibly murderous thoughts, and suddenly realises a way to make his attacks considerably more powerful with less effort. He makes a note to do it in future. Anna, while tired from the exertions of the Focus Kick, leaps towards Shocktail once more, delivering a precise kick to his chest (she has the decency not to hit him in the face again). He reels back, but recovers fairly quickly, though the world is still imploding or something.
As the round draws to a close, the frigid sea and the massive block of ice return to being paper once more. The temperature also returns to bearable levels.

- Dear holy Arceus that Focus Kick is powerful.
- That didn't go too well for Shocktail did it.
- I think I made you angry, Bluberry. Did I make you angry? I'm sorry if I did!
