10vs10 single
Style: Switch
DQ: Standard week
Damage Cap: none
Banned Moves: OHKO's
Arena: Restraunt of Global Cuisines
The trainers have come to a wonderful restraunt in the heart of Asber, known for its massive range of food - indeed, no-one's yet found a dish they don't serve. And, since they operate in the heart of the ASB league, there's a space for the diners to have a battle. Today, these two trainers have booked out the entire restraunt all day for a full 10v10 battle, and they've also shelled out the extra for the Deluxe package. So, at the end of every third round, a dish will be served to each Pokémon from the following list:
20%: Fruit Salad, Restores 5% health.
20%: Double-caffeine Coffee, Restores 5% energy.
10%: Chicken Soup, heals the Pokémon of any major status conditions.
10%: Coffee Cake, restores 5% health and 5% energy.
10%: Ultra-NRG Cola, causes the next round's moves to to deal 2% more damage for 2% less energy.
9%: Heart Sweets, causes the Pokémon to be mildly attracted to its opponent (provided they are of opposite genders).
5%: Triple Cheeseburger, lowers speed by two stages.
5%: Tamato Berry Curry, inflicts a mild burn on the Pokémon.
5%: Bad Fish, inflicts mild poisoning on the Pokémon.
5%: Poorly prepared Fugu, inflicts mild paralysis on the Pokémon.
1%: Four Horsemen Burger, instantly KOs the Pokémon.
Other: Only unevolved Pokémon can be used. Good luck to whoever decides to ref this.
Pre-Round
ILS recalled his Pokémon, poker-faced. He sure wouldn’t let this mere hitch scare him; it was only the beginning. He searched in his pocket for his next Pokémon, and finally found it – a black and yellow Ultra Ball, shining under the lights of the chandeliers. The customers were curiously staring at the device, wondering what kind of mythic creature would come out this time. We could hear the grumbles of some waitresses annoyed by the lack of attention of the customers.
Finally, the man who loved the turtles rolled his Ultra Ball in front of the growingly impatient Youth of Today, and the machine cracked open in a burst of white light. Out zapped a Pokémon with a horse-like shape, with a sparkling mane that seemed like made out of pure electric energy. The Blitzle stared in surprise at the assembly, and he lowered his head in discomfort. Remembering why he was here, though, he proudly raised it again and gravely gazed at Youth, however the latter wasn’t very impressed, still proudly keeping his derp face.
Both battlers were staring at each other, silent, Youth calm and cold-blooded, oblivious to his wounds, and Marty nervously twitching, impatiently waiting for the round to open. The trainers looked around. The referee was nowhere to be seen. The Blitzle grumbled in annoyance; would that battle ever begin? The trainers started looking around for him, shouting his name in a growingly grumpy voice. Finally, a response was heard:
“I’M IN THE BAAAAATHROOOOOM!!!”
We could guess it would take a long time by just hearing the voice tone. Squornshellous Beta sighed loudly, and it was her turn to search in her purse for her Poké-gear. Once the device was found in the tremendous mess of her bag, she quickly composed the well-known number of the ASB League, making a quick mention of an “unspecified something”. Three minutes fourteen seconds later, Lord of the Fireflies was waving his referee flag, signaling the battle could continue.

Round IV Start
All that waiting had pushed Marty to the edge of a burnout. The round had finally begun, and it was the time to move! In a split second, she disappeared before everyone’s eye, and Youth gasped in astonishment. Soon, though, the electric zebra reappeared, zigzagging around the startled lizard at an insane pace. Suddenly, a second Marty appeared in a flash, altogether describing erratic circles around Youth. The two Blitzle kept on running like there was no tomorrow, and a second clone appeared, then another. When the mad run finally stopped, six electric zebras were encircling the poor Scraggy.
Although he was a bit intimidated, Youth knew he had just the right counterattack in his arsenal. He took a moment to engulf is left fist in dark-type energy (yes, Squorn, your Scraggy is left-handed) and suddenly, and in a weirdly similar way to his opponent, disappeared noiselessly. Marty looked at the spot were Youth was standing in astonishment, and gave a quick look around – he couldn’t be very far. Before he could even make an attempt at finding his foe, the Scraggy immerged out of nowhere – out of many different nowheres, actually. Vaguely Youth of Today-shaped shadows (six, to be precise) burst out of the floor and ceiling, and jumped forward the zebra circle, each of them delivering a light punch on a precise target. Five of the clones vanished in mid-air, soon followed by their designated Scraggy shadow. One of them, however, remained perfectly solid and took the hit right behind the head, knocking him on the floor. The dark cloak covering Youth of Today shimmered and faded, revealing his usual colors and a sadistic grin. Without waiting for his foe to get up, he closed his eyes and focused on his next attack, clenching his left fist (I really mean it Squorn). His hand began to glow red.
Meanwhile, Marty was feeling quite grumpy. No more illusions for him. Instead, he focused on creating a real, solid decoy. He looked around restlessly for something suitable, and finally noticed the DJ, with his incredible arsenal of wires. He had a full box of them! At light speed, Marty rushed to him and stole his wire box without him noticing, and through clever manipulation of them sculpted a quite good-looking decoy. Finally, he insufflated a good deal of life energy in it, and the golem sprung to life, his wiry mane sparkling.
By the time Marty was done with his substitute, Youth’s fist had grown to double in size, engulfed in a now fierier-than-ever red. In fact, his entire body was radiating a tonic red aura, and one could feel the air was warmer around him. Finally, he opened his eyes and stared at Marty, who gulped in fear. Youth took a huge breath, and ran to him, swinging his fist like a hammer. Of course, the decoy jumped in the way. With a last heavy swing, Scraggy threw his fist in the direction of the substitute. Upon impact, a loud
“KLAC” echoed in the restaurant, and the wire zebra exploded instantly in a burst of red light as if it had been a spaghetti ball, spraying red and blue wires all over the place – including the customers’ plates. Marty couldn’t do anything but watch the horrifying scene silently. He shed a tear that time.
He quickly recovered, though. Because, you know, everything he did he did it quickly. The battle was far from over, and he was eager to put some hurt on that godly lizard, and he was good at that! His mane started to crackle violently, shedding sparks on the floor and nearly putting the purple carpet on fire. He launched a large jolt of electricity, which rushed to Youth like a javelin. He tried to dive in the ground to escape, but the marble floor offered no soft spot, and the thunderbolt ended up striking him right on the chest, sending him sprawling on the ground, shivering. By that moment, he noticed a large crack in the floor that an employee had clumsily tried to hide under a carpet. Youth took the opportunity without hesitating, diving into it. A few moments later, he erupted under the unsuspecting Marty and slammed him with an uppercut. Surely, the owner, wouldn't be too satisfied.
Youth was, though.
