Arena: The Waffle of Many Awesome Condiments
You heard me.
That’s right, this is the next in the Linoone food arena series (though I’ve been given the privilege to write it out). This battle commences on a gigantic waffle that stretches out as far as the eye can see – squares upon squares of soft, delicious breakfast food.
Even the most scrumptious of delicacies can be made better with the right condiment, though. And this is where the biggest quirk of this arena comes in: when the trainers issue their commands, they are also to fill in a waffle square with a condiment of their choice in a heated game of tic-tac-toe. However, the tic-tac-toe order is determined separately from that of the commanding order at the beginning of the match for game-balancing purposes. Therefore, trainer one could be attacking first, but filling in their square second. Tic-tac-toe turns alternate and are not affected by the time-distorting skillz of Trick Room.
Whenever a trainer wins a game of tic-tac-toe, a Snorlax will inexplicably drop out of nowhere, squashing the loser’s Pokemon for 5% typeless damage. The Snorlax will then proceed to drain all the syrups and sauces from the waffle squares (oh, horror!), but will thankfully be incapacitated by the referee before it can get to nomming the actual battlefield itself. In the event that the tic-tac-toe game ends in a tie, the Snorlax will drop out of nowhere regardless, but simply will not land on a Pokemon. It’ll still suck up all the condiments, though.
And finally, I’ve saved the best for last: the condiments. You can put your tongue back in your head now.
Awesomesauce: explodes with awesomeness when thrown. Abbreviated as A.
Maple syrup: gives +1 speed to the consumer due to sugar overload. Also explodes with awesomeness. Abbreviated as M.
Regular syrup: gives +1 attack to the consumer due to I’unno. Abbreviated as R.
High fructose corn syrup: deals 5% typeless damage when thrown/consumed due to ohlookabutterfly *runs* Abbreviated as C.
Butter: it’s slippery. Think of it as on-waffle ice. Abbreviated as B.
Honey: gives +1 sp. attack to the consumer due to it being… the counterpart to regular syrup, somehow. No, I don’t know either. Sorry. Abbreviated as H.
In addition, part of the waffle can be consumed to heal 5% health.
Blazhy is abbreviated as B and Crazy Linoone as C.
And an example of a tic-tac-toe game in case it isn’t clear:
Blazhy’s turn:
[ ] [BB] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
Linoone’s turn:
[HC] [BB] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
etc.

Round 10 Begin!
While both battlers have by now become used to the two giant globs of toppings that seem to appear out of nowhere, but this time there is something more. A trickle of something watery begins to pour into a square that has not, as yet, been touched by the battle; the two Pokéon stare on, dumbfounded, as the trickle widens into a pour, which fills up the square until two of its sides give out, and still the whatever-it-is continues to fall; it finally trickles to a halt once two squares are full almost to overflowing.
Shaking away her shock, Kwak'waka concentrates, her eyes glowing with a white light; a shield of what looks like glass winks into place, which Khionas instinctively knows will be trouble. Khionas' eyes, in turn, glow a slightly darker blue, and another blizzard-strength snowstorm blows in. Khionas, thereafter, stays absolutely still, maintaining the snowstorm.
Struggling to see against the prevalent snow, Kwak'waka hears a command for the same useless tactic as the last round; reluctantly, she casts her mind towards the location of the Seel, finding a seemingly impenetrable mental blockade caused by the substitute. Giving up, she rips energy from the clone itself, which physically manifests itself as a green aura, globs of which tear themselves free from the substitute and hurl themselves towards Kwak'waka, being absorbed by her body. The substitute, losing the energy required to hold it together, suddenly collapses into a pool of water. The snowstorm is still going, Kwak'waka notes, and it
hurts, though she's just thankful she has her glass-shield to protect her from the worst of it.
Once again, Kwak'waka casts her mind towards her opponent; the same green aura forms around Khionas, pulling free and flying at Kwak'waka, who absorbs it. The constant blizzard finally fades away, leaving only the same old hailstorm.
Once again, the battlers note the irritations of the falling hailstones.

Notes
- WAAAAAAAAAAFLES
- The substitute was destroyed on the second action.
- Yeah, so I made it one maintained blizzard rather than three seperate ones. Sue me.0
- I think we're at a disrepancy as to how deep the waffle-indents are. Should a water-dwelling Pokémon be sent out, I would add some very watery topping to a square (outside the main grid) and it would act as a pool for it, so it's a tad too deep to hide in. I just realised that Surf or similar would be topping-powered and that would be hilarious.
- Derp Khionas is a water-dwelling Pokémon. Is Khionas okay on land? I forgot to do that for him, I added a pool and he can just jump in at any time. That won't cost him an action.
- Yes I rolled Blizzard's freeze chance. It came up false on all three counts.
- Don't worry Linoone, your incompetence will always be hilarious.
Arena Notes
- There is a glob of Toxic on the ground some distance to the left of where Canyon was; touching it may well poison someone.
- There is a raging Hailstorm (5% per round, two more rounds)
The waffle looks like this:
(That bit at the bottom is the pool; it's maple syrup too dilute to cause a speed boost)
Next Round
- Linoone attacks
- blazhy attacks and fills in a square
- Linoone fills in a square
- I ref
