Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Fire is life, not just destruction.
1 vs 1 Single
Style: Set
DQ: One Week
Damage Cap: 30%
Banned Moves: OHKO's
Arena: Alto Mare's Canals at night
"Alto Mare is an isolated island between the south-western coast of Johto, near Azalea Town, and the Southeastern part of Hoenn.(Bulbagarden)" In lieu of roads, the island is composed of canals and narrow streets, with bridges and boats being the main form of transportation in the populated areas. At night, the city portion of Alto Mare is lit by lanterns and very limited modern street lamps, leaving the canals aglow. Due to the limited and cramped quarters on land, water, flying, and most Pokemon with the ability to "surf" or swim are suggested for this round.
Other: Only first/second evolutionary stage Pokemon and water/flying/normal types please

It's just an empty box. An arena-sized empty cardboard box. As if by some magic of imagination, anything necessary for an attack will appear if needed.

A challenge for Hiikaru because having fewer than two slots filled with me vs. Ki battles at one time would be simply criminal.
2 vs. 2 single
Style: Set
DQ: One week
Damage Cap: 40%
Banned Moves: OHKOs, direct healing, Pain Split. All Pokémon are capable of using Snore and Sleep Talk.
Arena: The Tree of Dreams
At the center of a clearing on the Island of Dreams lies the Tree of Dreams, an ancient tree rumoured to grant wishes to those who leave offerings of berries at its roots. The area around the tree is pretty unremarkable; it's covered entirely in grass, but this being the Dream World, Pokémon are able to summon the resources to use any attack of theirs that they please (save for banned moves), and Pokémon that normally need water to move around will have no trouble maneuvering on this terrain.
Before the battle begins, the tree is willing to grant each Pokémon a wish to grow stronger like its friends. Pokémon will, for the duration of the battle, be transformed into any stage of their evolution line that their trainer chooses, and have access to all of that stage's moves and abilities (including dream abilities). For five actions after a Pokémon is first sent out, it will be disguised as any Pokémon in its trainer's active squad, akin to the effects of a more permanent Illusion. There is no way for the opposing Pokémon to see through or remove this illusion; their trainer can only try to guess what species the Pokémon really is from the events of the battle.
Several berry trees are planted around the perimeter of the clearing. A Pokémon can be commanded to spend an action retrieving a berry and laying it at the base of the Tree of Dreams to make another wish that will be granted at the end of that action. This wish will renew the Pokémon's disguise, making it last an additional three actions from the time the wish is granted.
Other: Sendouts, along with the Pokémon to be disguised as and choice of held item from the trainer's inventory (if applicable), will be PMed to the ref before command order is posted. While a Pokémon is in disguise, it will be described as carrying out all of its actions as if it was the Pokémon it's disguised as (even if they don't make sense! This is the Dream World, after all. The Feebas in it are perfectly capable of using Wing Attack and Jump Kick.) and all of the information displayed in its summary (sprite, ability, etc.) will be that of that Pokémon. Attacks that rely on gender will use the actual Pokémon's gender, inherently/consensually hovering/flying status will be that of the actual Pokémon, etc. The ref is requested not to provide any details about individual damage and energy calculations (at least while there is a disguised Pokémon on the field), only the final tallies.

2vs2 Singles
Style: Set
DQ: 7 days
Damage Cap: 22% on a single move, 50% on an entire round.
Banned/Restricted moves: Direct recovery, Pain Split, any moves that instantly faint a battler (Explosion, OHKOs, Destiny Bond, Perish Song, etc.). Chills are restricted to 5 per Pokémon.
Arena: High Temple of Enlightenment
Still yourself for a second. Meditate. Afetr that, destroy everything.
This is pretty much the destiny for battlers on the High Temple of Enlightenment. It sits atop a hill in a hihgly urbanized territory (although it's by and at large antique, at least in appearance), and within it, many study quietly or carry out rituals, all towards the goal of ultimate knowledge. The heightened flow of information in magical form affects those who battle in the designated arena that lies in its basement; the tendency is for them to suddenly become more knowledgeable while they fight. However, the ideas gained seem to go away as suddenly as they come, so, it's not considered a reliable form of enlightenment. Not by most of the students, anyhow.
Pokémon are affected by this as any student. As such, at the end of each round, they learn a given move -- any move, up to, including and specially legendary signature moves -- that they don't already know. They can only use it once, however. If a Pokémon has yet to use their learned move at the end of the round, they cannot learn a new one. An action can be spent to forcibly remove a learned move from the mind, and a failed attempt to use the move will not cause it to be forgotten (although it does peter away if the move is used successfully, but fails nonetheless).
It has not come to the awareness of the students yet, but, sleeping in the arena will cause the knowledge to flow in and out at a frantic pace. As such, any Pokémon put to sleep in this arena will not carry out any orders, and instead, will constantly fire off random moves, as though using Metronome over and over.
For purposes of convenience, even if the temple is destroyed -- even if the whole hill and the entire city are destroyed -- the effects of the arena will apply, and likewise if the Pokémon simply leave it (unless they are also leaving battle in the process).
