2v2 single
Style: Set
DQ: 168 hours.
Damage Cap: 35%
Banned Moves: OHKOs
Arena: Doctor Kaminko's Experimental Arena Number 11
The good doctor has staged several battles in other arenas (usually in Arena Number 44), but this time he decided to let his test subjects use this arena, due to the technology's high tolerance for electromagnetic signals. The gimmick here is the doctor's recent new device; we're testing it out for him, you see.
The device is over in the corner, protected by a one-way force field. Said device, which has yet to be named but has thus far been built as “Project Memory”, is rather special. It sends out a special electromagnetic wave, the effect of which is quite severe; it essentially resets the memory of someone caught in it for the duration of its effect. Now, this can give humans amnesia for a day or two (but that's why the battlers will be sitting outside watching through electromagnetic wave-proof glass), but its effect on Pokémon is quite different.
For the duration of the battle, the machine will send out its electromagnetic signal at both of the battlers. This signal will erase any moves and techniques from their memories, except for the ones they were born with.
The arena itself is quite straightforward, with no gimmicks.
Other: All pokémon participating can ONLY use moves that they had access to in the generation in which they were introduced. For instance, Croagunk can only use the moves it had in Generation IV, while something like Exeggutor can only use moves from Generation I (like no Seed Bomb or anything). This includes signature moves, which all have no effect for the entire battle, as well as signature attributes which were not there when the pokémon was born (e.g. blindness stays, but [example: Crazy Linoone's Death Cannon's Broadband High-Speed Internet Connection] has no effect).

Drilbud has quite given up on the weather. It seems to change every other round anyways, so why bother? Pondering the mechanics of the arena, she whirls around absentmindedly, sending splashes of water outward. Pika has far less mundane things to think about, on the other hand, aching all over and tiring fast. His trainer isn’t much help, either, but he’s determined to prove them all wrong. To at least get Drilbud worn out enough for whoever’s up next, anyways. He musters a grin, shaking the rain from his fur.
Pika has jagged lines of electricity arcing over his body when the arena has turns back to its gloomy shade of gray. By the time Drilbud has collected enough strength to move, he’s already shot a zig-zagging line of yellow energy toward her, burning a path through the falling raindrops.
The Ferroseed is only mildly hurt by the impact, her metal shell perhaps a tad scorched. As the radiance of the beam fades, she replaces it with a dark void undulating around her. Suddenly, the aura expands, pushing outward; Pika backs away, alarmed. He stands there, waiting as splatters of rain slide down his face. Perhaps it’s only Pika’s imagination, but when Drilbud’s spikes halt their growth, he sees her smirk.
There’s not much he can do about the shell of brambles starting to grow over Drilbud, but Pika brushes that off. His cheeks spark once, briefly, and giving the Ferroseed no pause, he fires another bolt at her, jumping from raindrop to raindrop. Resigned, she lets the shock wash over her, showing no emotion.
Drilbud isn’t about to let it go, though. Her green-and-yellow eyes lock onto Pika’s bouncing figure, and slowly, the thorns covering her detach. Pika watches, fascinated, as they start to coalesce into a green sphere; how, he’s not sure, but at least it looks cool. The Ferroseed tilts forward ever so slightly, and abruptly the ball hurtles toward Pika, exploding with a sound that reminded him of a falling tree.
Not that he had much time to listen to it, anyways. Pika flies backward, slamming into the glass wall. Pushing off the ground, he picks a stray piece of grass from his fur, tossing it away. She’d pay for that, oh yes she would. He sets the sky aglow with a burst of light and heat, all rushing toward Drilbud.
The Ferroseed grimaces. Even though each attack did a miniscule amount of damage, they were certainly starting to take their toll.
Probably should end this quickly, she thinks to herself, but she can’t help but savor the distressed look Pika gives her as she sends another bomb flying.
When Pika recovers, he notices Drilbud looking at the ground, or rather, pond, worriedly.
