I'll send out Anya, then.

We'll start out on one of those crates, as high up as we can get. I'm not sure how easily we can be reached here, so we'll just start out with a basic Thunder Wave and double Calm Mind. If the charmander protect/detects, move the thunderwave to the second and calm mind on the first action instead; move it to the third action if they've protect/detected on the second again. If they're ordered to status you, set up a Substitute for 10% of your health. (Don't set up a sub if you already have one.)

Thunder Wave / Calm Mind / Substitute (10%) x3
 
Right, first, you hide behind a pillar to avoid the thunder wave. Then try a flamethrower to see if we can reach her. If you can reach her use dragon pulse. If not, use hone claws.

Among the numerous buildings of Asber lie many unused, apparently abandoned warehouses filled with crates. None of the people in the surrounding area can tell with certainty what the boxes contain, but one thing's for sure. They've been collecting dust since the foundation of Asber. It is in one of these old warehouses where a battle of possibly epic proportions will take place. Only time will tell.

Round 1

Anya is sent out on top of the highest stack of crates which teeters dangerously back and forth while Charmander is sent out on the ground. Upon hearing their respective commands, both pokemon race to perform their first action. Charmander hurries away to the nearest pillar but isn't fast enough. By the time he manages to take a few steps, Anya has managed to rub her two wings together, generating electricity and sending it toward her opponent. The pulsing energy crackles and fizzles as it makes its way toward Charmander. However, some of it dissipates away into the air, resulting in a weaker attack. This does not stop the attack from being useful though, as Charmander is unable to move, his body suddenly numb from the electrical charge.

Anya manages a small smile just before delving into her thoughts. She blocks out everything around her and enters a meditative state. Her surroundings are nothing more than empty slates. While in this state, she also manages to put up mental barriers around her.

Charmander, thinking his opponent isn't doing anything, feels the energy coursing through his body as he pours out a swath of flames towards Anya. Charmander isn't strong enough to engulf his opponent in his attack but is still able to make his opponent uncomfortable. The wooden crates beneath Anya aren't able to escape the flames and are set aflame. The flames shouldn't be much of a bother to Anya in her secluded state, so she is shocked when she is jolted out of her mind and back into reality by something painful in her left wing. Apparently, her opponent was able to burn her.

Anya yet again retreats into her mind. More barriers are set up as she delves deeper into her own little world. While in this state, the flames below her feet bother her, but she manages to brush them aside. Charmander then decides to call forth a draconian energy from within. Summoning the power of the dragons, he sends out a glowing blue ball of energy toward Anya which decreases in size while it moves through the air which slams directly into Anya who shows little, if any, sign of discomfort.
Round End!

Notes
-I declare the stack of boxes to be so high up that most long range attacks will only be 3/4 as effective.
-Flamethrower needed a roll of 10 or less to burn. I rolled 6.
-Paralysis needed a roll of 19 or less on the first action to prevent movement, 19 on the second, and 18 on the third. The chance didn't lower between the first and second action because Charmander wasn't able to move. I rolled 9, 63 and 19.
-The fire will cause 2% damage to non-fire type pokemon touching it while causing 1% damage to fire type pokemon touching it.

Arena Notes
-The stack of crates below Anya wobbled a bit when Anya landed. More movement may cause it to tumble down.
-The crates beneath Anya are burning. Fire will slowly spread to the other crates as the battle progresses.

Right, we need to get at it first, so do a scary face, then try to get closer to it. Once you're nearer use ancient power.

Scary face~get on a crate~Ancient power
 
Well it's very unlikely that even a scary face will lower our speed enough to allow him to go first, but let's Taunt anyhow. While taunting, why don't you fly off that crate and see if you can't uh, tumble them over onto the charmander? That's not necessary - the tumbling part - but do fly off the crate. Stay in the air for now.

If you can see the charmander, give it a good Snarl; if you can't, use Psycho Shift. If you didn't use psycho shift, use it third action; if you did, Snarl at your opponent now.

Taunt ~ Psycho Shift / Snarl x2

Round 2
The round begins with both trainers ordering commands. Anya is hesitant to move at all, but orders are orders. She starts flapping her wings even though it pains her, and flies in the direction of her opponent. This sudden movement causes the wooden crates to tip and fall onto Charmander. Upon falling, the burning crates break into tiny splinters off wood, aflame of course. All the while, Anya hurls insults at her opponent. Mocking him with jeers, she calls him a pathetic excuse for a lizard. Even the flame on his tail is pathetic. This enrages Charmander, but he is unable to do anything as his body is racked by electrically induced spasms.

Anya then proceeds by producing a strange caw. In what seems to be an attempt to scare her opponent, Anya makes menacing faces. These are apparently enough to unnerve her opponent, who simply runs towards the nearest crate and climbs over it.

Anya, feeling giddy about her success in the round, continues to pressure her opponent by forming a psychic bond and attempting to transfer her burns. This is somewhat successful, as her wing suddenly feels better. Her opponent doesn't appear to be burned though. As Anya flies around, she notes that he's merely twitching.

Alright; let's be safe and set up a 10% substitute. Then go all-out with dark pulses. If for some reason you can't hit charmander, whether it be protect/detect or he's hiding, calm mind again. If he has double team clones, use a wide-spread air cutter.

Substitute (10%) ~ Dark Pulse / Calm Mind / Air Cutter x2
 
Okay, get rid of the substitute with a flame thrower, then ancient power twice.

Round 3
Anya, opened the round with a violent flapping of her wings, causing dark down, illuminated by fire, to cascade in elegant waves under her. Charmander, in awe, looked on as what appeared to be dark energy moved from his opponent towards the pile of feathers. Suddenly taking the shape of a Murkrow, the feathers took of to join its creator in the air. Charmander, realizing he would have to deal with the substitute, sent out a steady stream of flames in hopes of destroying it completely. The searing fire enveloped the substitute, burning away its feathers one by one. Feathers set aflame started falling to the ground, igniting even more crates in the warehouse. To Charmander's dismay, the substitute emerged from the blaze with the grace of a Phoenix rising from the ashes, moderately charred but still intact.

Seeking to destroy her opponent as quickly as possible, Anya collected all her malevolent thoughts and sent out a torrential stream of ill will. Darkness moved through the air, enveloping Charmander in its burning icy embrace. Anya was pleased to see her opponent suffer. After all, spreading discord and malice was her thing. Charmander, hopelessly lost in Anya's dark waves, summoned the ancient spirits lying beneath her. Suddenly, burning chunks of the ground started floating, clearly filled with ghostly energy, towards Anya. The flames on these rocks weren't like the ones slowly consuming the crate Charmander was on, licking at his feet. These flames were of a different nature, having a hue somewhere between blue and violet. Sensing its creator was about to get hit, sacrificing itself, the substitute dived straight into the burning rocks. The glowing rocks completely incinerated the substitute, leaving not even a single feather behind.

Being relatively small, the whole warehouse started catching fire. Clouds of smoke filled the air, reducing visibility and making the trainers cough. This however, did not impede Anya as she sent another wave of pulsing dark energy towards her opponent. Charmander was hit squarely in the chest, and with considerable effort, summoned yet again the spirits it had previously called on. Seeking for blood, the pointed stones flew directly into Anya, who was shocked by how the rocks didn't seem to cause considerable pain. She brushed them aside and the stones, left by the spirits, fell to the ground. The warehouse, at this point, was starting to look more and more like a tragedy waiting to happen. Of course, there were only a couple of people and their pokemon inside, but beams, glowing in the flames, were starting to fall all around the battlers.

Right, get off that crate. then get close to her and try a mega kick. Last, use rock slide.

Chill midair while he gets off the crate. It'll be a bit hard for him to kick you while you're flying, and even harder for him to find rocks in here, so ... we should be... good this round. So just Dark Pulse twice.

Round 4
Anya wanted to obey her trainer and relax, but the flames around her severely bothered her. Dodging her way around the falling debris, she watched as her opponent scurried along, seemingly untroubled by the burning surroundings.

Once again thinking all kinds of evil thoughts, Anya sent out a wave of ill will, bathing her opponent in her own brand of darkness. Vindictive and spiteful thoughts washed over the little Charmander, both chilling and burning him at the same time.

Charmander, felt severely depressed after her opponent's latest onslaught, but went on to follow her trainer. Dread creeping over him, he climbed over the nearest crate and jumped into the air. He wasn't really expecting his kick to land, so it came as a surprise when he felt his foot connect with his opponent. This relief was short-lived as yet another wave of darkness covered Charmander. Anya had apparently been preparing her attack while Charmander was getting ready for his.

After taking in yet another wave of malice, Charmander called up more rocks from the ground just like his previous Ancientpower. All at once, these rocks suddenly lifted themselves into the air and tumbled all over Anya.

Okay. See if you can find a part of the building/place that's collapsing, and try and fly out of it. If you can't find a place that's big enough for you to fly out of, see if you can Faint Attack through the roof; that should work. If that works, land on the roof and Roost, then Chill.

If you can't get out of the buildingplace, just go all out with Dark Pulses.

Fly Out / Faint Attack / Dark Pulse ~ Roost / Dark Pulse ~ Chill / Dark Pulse
 
Right, while she's trying to get out, chill. If she gets out, ancient power the roof underneath her when she lands. Then chill when she's chilling. If she launches dark pulses at you, try and dodge them.

Round 5
Anya, intent on escaping the inferno around her, starts looking for any possible areas for her escape. Suddenly, a flaming metal bar falls down from the ceiling, but Anya barely manages to swoop out of the way. She circles the area for a few minutes and to her dismay, finds no routes leading to the outside. Just when she is about to give up, part of the ceiling gives way, allowing her to fly out to safety.

Charmander, on the other hand, is simply slacking off. There's no reason for him to do anything right now, since his opponent is merely flying around. He tries to find a comfortable position for him to take a breather, but the fire around him is causing substantial discomfort. Whose idea was it to set the place on fire anyway?

Anya glad to be outside and able to breathe less smoky air, then lands on the roof. In seconds, many of her injuries suddenly heal, and she feels almost brand new.

While physics rants on about how that shouldn't have happened, Charmander concentrates on the ground, calling up the departed to aid him. Ghostly flames yet again spout from the rocks on the ground. These then soar through the air, heading straight for the ceiling. As soon as the ceiling is hit, the ceiling breaks open, and Anya, along with the rocks, fall to the ground.

Cursing her temporary inability to fly, Anya decides to play it safe. Spontaneously regenerating her lost feathers had made her a bit tired. She relaxes to some extent, worried about the fire that's steadily engulfing the whole place while Charmander, sweating buckets of water on his side of the warehouse, does the same.
