3v3 Singles
Style: Set
DQ: Five Days
Damage Cap: 35%
Banned moves: OHKOs, Healing
Arena: Pokémon Stadium (Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl)
Anyone who played these games in their time will know this arena well; the arena appears to be just a basic stadium with two floating platforms, however, at regular intervals the arena changes to a different type, Water, Grass, Fire or Rock. These types of arena will give a 2x damage boost to any Pokémon of that type currently on the field and will also change the scenery:
Fire: Battlers are now in a burned-down forest.
Water: Battlers are around a pool of water. There is a windmill at the other side of the arena.
Grass: Battlers are surrounded by grass and trees.
Rock: Battlers are surrounded by mountains.
The space surrounding the arena is a bottomless pit, but it has been blocked off with a force field for the purposes of the Pokémon battle.

Spoon listens carefully to his trainer’s orders. Wait, go to sleep? But he isn’t even tired! Well, orders are orders. The Abra stops emitting brainwaves and lets himself go into a trance. On the other side of the field, Soul feels something about the air change. Well, whatever. Probably for the better.
And what are his orders? Possess? Oh, possess his opponent? Soul grins. He has always been a fan of playing little pranks like this. The Gastly focuses, and slowly turns invisible, until he cannot be seen by anyone in the crowd. Or sensed by the Abra, for that matter. He floats over to Spoon, and allows his soul to be sucked inside the little thing’s body. He feels a brief numbness, then all is nothing. He couldn’t see anything! Or hear anything! Good, then he’s made it in safely.
Spoon feels nothing, but suddenly mumbles in his sleep a little. He begins to glow with a pinkish light, and scans his surroundings for his opponent. Finding the Gastly inside his body but being too incoherent to do anything about it, he focuses and lets loose with his attack. Suddenly, he starts floating. Strange. Zzzz. Meanwhile, Soul suddenly feels heavier. What the heck?
Anyway, Soul taps into his powers once again, and sends a psychic burst of energy out from his body. Unbeknownst to Soul, Spoon shudders violently. But the Gastly inside doesn’t feel a thing. Meanwhile, Spoon happens to half-wake up again, this time emitting a telepathic wave full of self-righteousness through the area. But Soul can’t feel or hear it.
Well, just one more attack and Soul can come out. What did his trainer tell him to do? Oh yes—Dark Pulse. Soul gathers together all his feelings of hatred and misfortune, and all his memories too, and sends them all out around him. Spoon shudders violently again, and the Gastly bursts out of his opponent’s body to see the arena changing into pond. He happens to be at the shore. How convenient, because he’s currently grounded. Why can’t he float?

Arena Notes
•The arena has changed into the Water arena.
Damage and Energy Calculations
•Rest: 10% energy
•Sleep Talk/Skill Swap: 6% energy
•Psychic: 5% damage, 8% energy
•Sleep Talk/Swagger: 6% energy (failed)
•Dark Pulse: 10% damage, 7% energy
Notes:
•Rest eliminates Status effects on the first turn/action, so the “rush of energy” in the ASB rules thing—I don’t think it really applies. Therefore Rest still worked as normal but since the rush of energy (it said status effects, not healing) but Soul still possessed Spoon.
Next Round:
•Hadro attacks
•Phantom attacks
•I ref.
