1&1vs1&1 tag battle
Style: Set
DQ: 1 week
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned Moves: OHKOs, direct recovery
Arena: Metallica Gig
We should probably be enjoying the show. But instead we decided to have a Pokemon battle. Oh, how silly we are. Still, we get the cool effect of having the songs played affect the fighting.
A random song will be chosen and played at the beggining of the match. Each song has a set duration, and after that goes up, another randomized song plays. No song will be played twice. If all songs are played before the battle ends, the gig ends, but the trainers stay and finish the battle.
- All Nightmare Long (7 actions): All Pokemon are put to sleep and cannot cure this condition. When this song ends, so does the slumber.
- Cyanide (6 actions): All Pokemon are poisoned severely and cannot cure this condition. When this song ends, so does the poisoning.
- Damage Inc. (5 actions): All battlers take 10% of damage.
- Disposable Heroes (8 actions): No status moves may be used; all Pokemon act as though under effects of Taunt for the duration of the song.
- Enter Sandman (5 actions): All Pokemon have their abilities replaced by their Dream World abilities for the duration of the song.
- Fight Fire With Fire (4 actions): All Pokemon are burned severely and cannot cure this condition. When this song ends, so do the burns.
- For Whom The Bell Tolls (5 actions): All Pokemon are healed of status conditions and may not be afflicted with any new ones for the duration of the song.
- Master of Puppets (8 actions): All Pokemon gain a 10% Substitute at no price of health. When the song ends, any Substitute on field vanishes.
- Nothing Else Matters (6 actions): All opposite-gendered Pokemon become mutually attracted for the duration of the song.
- No Leaf Clover (5 actions): No critical hits may be scored and no secondary effects of moves will activate unless they have a 100% chance to for the duration of the song.
- One (7 actions): All Pokemon are struck by an Explosion and may not move until the song ends.
If any band member of Metallica is harmed by a stray attack, Metallica Fanboy will rip your fucking face off.
Other: Whether the teams are randomized or preset will be left for this challenge's accepters to determine.

Round 8 Begin!
Megatherium is really getting sick of this Litwick by now. He's going to take this thing down come hell or high water - no way he's going to lose. So, to that end, he cloaks his claws in a flickering, crackling dark energy; he lunges at Umbra and plunges his claws straight through the incorporeal body. The Litwick screams and struggles but can't escape the Vigoroth's grip, and eventually goes limp, flame sputtering and dying.
Legendaryseeker99 recalls his Pokémon with a look of annoyance, and the referee passes out paychecks before teleporting away. The trainers, amid a crowd of groaning and injured people, stay to enjoy the rest of the concert - Megatherium staying out of his Pokéball to listen despite his various wounds.

Notes
- Shadow Claw was a critical hit.
Arena Notes
- Metallica are currently singing Master of Puppets (2 more actions)
- This leaves All Nightmare Long, Cyanide, Damage Inc., Enter Sandman, Fight Fire With Fire, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Nothing Else Matters, and No Leaf Clover yet to play.
- The sun is harsh (two more rounds)
Prizes
Shurinam gets 1 EXP Monopole and Umbra get 2 each, and Megatherium gets 3. Since it's a tag battle, I think that means that prizes are handled like this: $16 each to team Role-oriented Programming, $6 each to team Spirit of the Beehive, and $10 to me. Now I'm off to never ref another doubles or larger battle again.
