2vs2 single
DQ: 7 Days
Damage Cap: 25%
Banned Moves: OHKO's, All Healing Moves, All Chills, Weather moves
Arena: Mystical Gardens
These beautiful gardens contain a mystical power. The plants here emit an aura that calms and soothes wounds. However, this same mystical power seems to prevent any weather effects from taking place. It's always a warm, calm day with a slight breeze. The scent of flower petals drifts through the air. Every round, the pokemon in battle receive 2% health and energy back back. Basically a really simple area for someone to begin learning how to battle with the whole ASB thing.
Pre-Round Notes
Unlike most of the crazy battles that go on in Asber (who came up with that name for the region uuuurgh), this one's actually pretty simple. No space travel, no alcohol, not even a giant waffle - just a nice, soothing field of flowers. The trainers set themselves up at opposite ends of the battlefield, and at the referee's command they open their Pokéballs. One opens into a bipedal, clawed creature that begins looking around for its opponent or any Seviper the other into a ghost with gems dotted around its body that immediately whimpers and tries to hide from the sunlight. Hoping the Sableye gets over it soon, the referee shouts, "Battle begin!"

Round 1 Begin!
Dia immediately stops shrieking about the BURNING LIGHT upon hearing the ref's shout, instead getting into a fighting stance and clenching his fist, which begins to glow with a very faint but steadily intensifying red aura. Stryker, meanwhile, begins focussing for his own attack. His eyes glow bright white and a stream of energy pours out of them, forming itself into the shape of a much smaller Zangoose. The clone blinks slightly, then focusses on its opponent. The very same opponent, having finished his concentration and preperation, now has a near-blinding red glow surrounding his fist. Suddenly, he darts toward Stryker with incredible speed, aiming a punch at him, but the substitute leaps in front of the attack, which is strong enough to
punch a hole right through its chest. The doll falls to the ground and fades away.
Dia, pleased with the impact of his attack, repeats it; he focusses and begins channeling energy into his fist. Stryker, rather disturbed by the power the Sableye has just displayed, opts to bulk himself up somewhat, beginning a frantic dance, spinning, twirling, slashing at the air, grinding his claws together. He stops the dance somewhat weary but with a stronger fighting spirit, just in time to see Dia run towards him with that same blindingly bright fist and give him an uppercut right in the jaw. Even with the Sableye's diminutive stature, it's a powerful blow - so powerful in fact that there's a sickening CRACK and Stryker is lifted clean off the ground and thrown backwards.
Staggering to his feet, Stryker glares furiously at the tiny ghost; then, in an attempt to channel some of his rage and pain into something productive, he raises his arms up high, then runs towards Dia with almost blinding speed, infusing his claws with Bug-typed energy as he goes. Upon reaching the ghost, he slashes his arms down hard, and though his arms go straight through the ghost the elemental energy contained within his claws catches on and sears Dia from the inside. Dia, in turn, glares furiously at Stryker, doing his best to establish eye contact; the Zangoose is more than happy to oblige, hoping to look intimidating. Dia focusses a rush of dark-type energy into his gem-eyes, which passes to Stryker and solidifies his body just enough to prevent it converting to the bright red energy of a Pokéball beam. Stryker shivers slightly and looks away, ashamed to have lost the psuedo-staring-contest.

Notes
- If you could specify what size of Substitute in future? I randomized it and you came up with 10%, but it can be any of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%.
- Woah, Focus Punch does a lot for a little. It was originally even less in fact - it was going to be 6% according to my calculator, but that seemed too low so I upped it.
- The Substitute was destroyed on the second action.
- The second Focus Punch hit the damage cap.
- Substitutes Destroyed In A Violent Way In Battles I've Reffed Count: 3.
Arena Notes
- There's a trail of disturbed ground where Stryker skidded on his back from the attack; otherwise not much of note.
Next Round
