Arena: The Inside of Zora’s Mind
Well. No one knows how our heroes have managed this one, but it seems the universe has finally imploded around them, sending them (and the ref) spiralling into the depths of the mind of a crazy redhead.
The stage is around the size of an average arena, however, it is translucent and rainbow-coloured, and appears to be floating amidst a sort of purple void, with two roads made of rainbow extending to either side of the field. Every so often, the scenery around the arena will change, although this has no effect on the battle and so can change to whatever, whenever, at the referee’s discretion. There also are two small ponds to either edge of the arena for Water-types.
Although being inside the mind of someone like her has… other, effects.
- The moves Attract and Captivate, as well as other moves that base their effects on gender, can hit all Pokémon on the field, rather than just the specified gender.
- And also, there seem to be stimulants in the air in this arena, giving all Pokémon a boost in energy, setting it at an initial 150%.
Pre-round Notes
So the universe has collapsed around the three. All sorts of weird things have happened to these three over the years, but this is by far the oddest. The swirling of the space around them seems to last an eternity, but eventually it subsides; the three are vomited up onto a cold hard shore, the flotsam and jetsam of the universe. After a while, when their vision is more than simply vague blurs, they stagger upright away from the cold hard shore, which shines darkly (it is a very highly polished cold hard shore). They slowly realize that the cold hard shore on which they are standing is just a small, polished island, with a rainbow road extending from one end; it connects to a translucent, rainbowy island, and another road from the other side. As they step onto the island, the scenery around it changes; the cold hard shore vanishes and an enormous wall springs up around the island. The wall begins babbling incoherently as the three inspect the island.
Through it is dimly visible the form of a purple, spiralling void. There are two ponds, quite near to the paths that are no longer visible. The rainbow colors are constantly shifting. With this much established, the trainers turn to the only logical course of action - what? Try and get out? No, sorry, not getting it at all. The only logical course of action is to have a battle, obviously. Suddenly, battlefield markings fade into existence on the rainbowy platform. A surprised outburst from Zora follows quickly: "I was just thinking that it was the right size for that! This is weird!"
A few seconds of frantic thought lead to the conclusion that Zora can affect the environment by her mere thoughts, and so the next logical leap is that, somehow, we are inside her mind. A little more experimentation seems to confirm this, and with a thought an Oshawott materializes on one end of the field. A couple of seconds of discussion lead to DJ P0N-3 being selected as the opponent and Squornshellous Beta as the referee. They take their respective places, DJ P0N-3 sends out a Joltik, and the referee signals for the battle to begin.

Round 1 Begin!
The Joltik is the first to move. She makes herself as cute and fluffy as she possibly can, and in her sweetest voice she begins addressing the Oshawott. She gives a few compliments and makes a declaration of love, admittedly false, and it seems to take hold; her adorable fwuffspiderness and something about the mind they're in causes Armando to be overcome by infatuation, and he is briefly overcome with thoughts of her. He soon recovers, though, and darts towards Adrienne; he pulls the shell off his chest and slashes at her with its sharp edge. She squeals, and leaps back.
Adrienne begins to wonder whether she can exercsie any control over this place. She pumps a pulse of her energy into the rainbowy ground, and it suddenly bulges upwards; a blob of rainbow pulls itself free and then just floats there for a second. Then, lowering itself down again, it begins to take on a distinct shape, growing four legs, a pair of mandibles, and fluffy fur; transformation complete, it stands there as a translucent, rainbow-colored Joltik, which makes enthusiastic squealing sounds in the direction of its creator. Armando has been watching with some interest, and decides to test out the physics of this place: he scrabbles at the ground madly, and suddenly falls through it with a
plop. He emerges on the other side, and, with a supremely foolish look on his face, he begins swimming around in the void.
Adrienne observes this with some interest, and then prepares for her own move. She begins emitting controlled pulses of electricity, and clouds begin to form above the arena. Suddenly, an enormous lightning bolt erupts from them and strikes the ground above Armando, dissipating harmlessly. Armando observes this and laughs, then swims to the point right underneath Adrienne and begins tunneling upwards. The rainbow-clone shoves the original out of the way, and just in time; a bizarre ripple spreads outwards from the spot as Armando bursts outwards again. Adrienne sighs with relief as the rond draws to an end.
