Arena: The Coal Mine
The Coal mine is pretty gigantic, actually. Ran by the Ground gym leader of Unova (fuck whats his name) and connected by various rail tracks and bridges and holes in the walls, it converges to the very center of it where a large arena fine for battling lies. Lighten up by weak lanterns from the vault, the arena itself can contain pretty big battlers, however pokémon in need of water to survive won't be able to battle, as there is no water sources nearby (with the exception of small puddles).
Effects: Since the cave is quite dark, the move Flash have a 25% chance of lowering accuracy two stages instead of one, and moves using great amount of light will have double the chances of their effect kicking in. As only small puddles are at the disposition of the battlers, moves needing a water source (Surf, Muddy Water, etc) will have their base power quartered. Finally, if a pokémon uses a fire move exceeding 80 in power or that is widespread (read: Lava Plume), the workers will panic and hit the pokémon with rocks and shards and pickaxes, dealing 3% ground-type damage, 5% rock-type damage and 7% steel-type damage.
EDIT: Pokémon are sent via PM.

Panicking, Mars let out a mushroom’s most basic form of defense: a cloud of incapacitating spores. Though primitive, the attack was undeniably effective. Tank vaguely remembered the strange shimmering of air and the deep, unnatural slumber that followed, but by the time he realized the danger it was far too late. The snooze-inducing powder had already been inhaled, and mere moments later, the fossil was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Liam had been twisting around awkwardly to huff at the ice encasing his tail, hoping that his hot breath would melt it. Unfortunately, the ice was too thick for his breath to make much of a difference. Grumbling, the Sentret turned around and drew water from unknown reserves in his body, then let out the torrent with another high-pitched scream. This time, Tank was visibly affected by the attack. Perhaps the cold liquid had struck a particularly sensitive patch of skin, or the shriek had pierced deep into his ears. Either way, the Shieldon rolled over in his sleep with a groan, then began to pant, as if holding onto the last shred of his consciousness was an enormous effort.
Mars soon ended Tank’s struggles. With a small sound of effort, a large lump of grey-brown objects, haphazardly clumped together, was expelled from the mushroom’s top to arc gracefully in the air and hit Tank on the side. The objects turned out to be seeds, as the moment they made contact with the prehistoric Pokemon, there was an explosion of growth, leaves and roots and vines sprouting every which way. The force of the grass-imbued blast was too much for the weary Tank, and with a last sigh he grew limp.

Lord of the Fireflies quickly withdrew his Pokemon, not wanting them to suffer permanent damage from the effects of the ice. Mars in particular seemed distressed – he’d have to make sure his feet weren’t withered beyond use. Meanwhile, Star69 recalled his own Pokemon, congratulating him for his valiant efforts and, in particular, his ability to bargain with the icy RNG gods.
The battlers shook hands, then Lord of the Fireflies departed hastily, claiming he had some concert or other to attend. The referee protested, but he’d already disappeared into the tunnel the three had entered from. The dragon shrugged; if Lord of the Fireflies wanted to ride that rickety cart back to the surface, that was his problem. With a click of ninjatoes, a league-owned Abra appeared in a cloud of distortion. The referee and Star69 were then quickly teleported back to ASB Central.
The battle is over and Lord of the Fireflies is the winner. He gets $16 for winning. Both Liam and Mars get 3 EXP.
Star69 gets $6 and both Hellcloud and Tank get 1 EXP.
I get $10 for reffing.
Good game you guys, even though it got a bit haxxy near the end, what with the freezing and crits flying everywhere.
