Incidentally, Squorn, what am I supposed to call your Golett? Notepad acts strangely when I paste its real nickname in.​

Most League battles take place in exciting locations. Burning cities, cruiseliners, the crumbling remains of ancient chapels... but for every battle taking place somewhere interesting, there are many happening in places like this. A field.

The three trainers arrive from the air, each one on the back of a League-issued Braviary. After a brief discussion, the two battlers send out their first Pokémon.

Squornshellous Beta

[Rambo] Timburr (Male)
Ability: Guts
Health: 100%
Energy: 100%
Commands: Bide ~Bide ~Bide (release AFTER Lenkbarer attacks)
Status: Perfectly healthy.
Condition: Swinging his log about and making faces at Lenkbarer.

Round one, begin!

As the commands are issued, each Pokémon begins to act. Or, rather, Lenkbarer begins to act. Rambo simply remains exactly where he is, fists clenched against his log. A dim red glow flickers around him, seemingly there one moment and gone the next.

Lacking a mouth to use her attack normally is not something that will get in Lenkbarer's way. Instead, she taps into the strange dust floating through the air, pulling some of it together and condensing it until a small orb of purple toxins floats between her 'hands'. With a single, deft flick, the gooey substance splatters all over Rambo's face. He retches and heaves as it is absorbed into his system, but does not otherwise move. The dust permeating the air clings to both Pokémon, sinking into them and leaving both feeling worse for the wear.

The red glow continues to flash around Rambo, and Lenkbarer eyes it suspiciously. With no attack forthcoming, she moves onto her next command. She drifts through the air with a gentle hum before twirling and slamming both hands against Rambo. A blue glow surrounds them as she does so, and Rambo is knocked backwards into the grass. He still doesn't retaliate, though the red glow surrounding him pulses and grows slightly more obvious.

This worries Lenkbarer, and she eyes him for a few moments. Why isn't he attacking? she wonders briefly. When Rambo makes no move to strike back, she floats forwards for another Acrobatics attack. Once more her 'hands' glow with a piercing blue energy, and this time it sends Rambo tumbling into the ground. The ominous glow surrounding his form spikes up wildly, and his eyes flash open.

The Timburr springs up and bodily grabs his opponent, who gives an ethereal shriek of surprise. The pulsing red sheen around his body suddenly takes on a life of its own, tearing into Lenkbarer viciously. When the attack is over, Rambo flings her away, and both Pokémon are left dazed - though Lenkbarer is in a far worse state than Rambo. Rambo himself retches again, the toxins now having flowed through most of his body.

The dust once more settles upon them, as if to add insult to injury.

Round one, over!

End of Round Notes

• Nothing too notable this round, though I do have to point out that Lenkbarer is faster than Rambo; the only reason he moved first is that he used a priority move.
• As an aside, the 3% arena damage done each round does not count towards the damage cap.

Round two, begin!

Lenkbarer forces herself to get back up, returning to her hovering position. She begins to spin slowly on the spot, a dark purple aura spreading across her body. Her entire body felt suddenly cold even though the sun had been pleasantly warm beforehand.

Rambo, on the other hand, limbers up. He's done most of the work; now he just needs to finish her off. He picks up his hefty log-club - which glows an omnious black - and sprints forward, slamming the crude weapon into Lenkbarer and leaving her reeling. He hops back with a smirk, one which falters slightly as he feels the mysterious dust catch in his throat.

Lenkbarer metaphorically grits her teeth and floats forward, flailing in Rambo's general direction. He skids backwards and returns the assault with another solid smack, a line of cracks appearing in the bark. Lenkbarer drooped in the air, feeling weaker and weaker. The Destiny Bond she had cast over herself earlier gives a sudeen cackle of glee, and even as she drifts to the ground, it lashes out with tendrils of darkness.

Rambo slumps into the grass. Typical. Bloody ghosts. Can't fight... fair.

Round two over!

Condition: Sending out little puffs of flame and preparing for battle.

Round three, begin!

The moment the referee waves her flag, Jess springs into action by letting out a soft puff of pale blue fire. The flickering flame dances towards Frittata, who tries her best to roll away in time. She's not fast enough, however, and ends up with a small, round scorchmark between her eyes. She pauses at her trainer's words, staring doubtfully at the ground. She's not strong enough to do that. So what is she supposed to do? She goes for the next best thing, worming one paw out of her shell to place it gingerly against the floor. Massive pieces of rock thrust up from the floor and slam into Jess, knocking her over and making the Vulpix cry out in pain.

Jess knows exactly what will stop the Stone Edge from feeling so harsh, and concentrates for a few long moments. A golden dome shimmers into existence, cocooning Jess and taking the bite out of any further attacks. Frittata growls and once more drags up rocks, making Jess stumble once more.

Look, will you just stop that., Jess thinks with a snarl. She lashes out with a sudden whirl of dark energy, locking down the Dragomelet's thoughts. This time, when Frittata tries to make the ground do her bidding, it takes so much more effort to do so. Their conditions are only worsened by the sparkling dust flowing through the air.

Round three over!

Round four, begin!

Jess hisses at Frittata and begins her first attack of the round, weaving an ancient spell over the wounded Dragomelet. The hex agitates her burn, making Frittata squeal in pain. Frittata pauses after that, running over her commands in her head. Rock Slide? Can I even do that? she muses, tapping her claws against the inside of her shell. It's not something familiar, and if she's being honest with herself she's getting tired of being given commands that she can't follow through with. She'd use Stone Edge instead, but that's not what she was ordered to do...

Her musing is interrupted by another hex, and once more her burn stings and aches. Jess smirked and waves a paw, having realised that Frittata couldn't retaliate. Frittata herself settles for trying her level best to headbutt Jess right in her smug little face. She fails, however, and simply ends up with another Hex laid upon her for her trouble.

She spends the remainder of the round sitting and sulking.

Round four over!
