White City Stadium
White City is located on an island not terribly far from Johto; Olivine runs a ferry to and fro twice a day. The centerpiece of the popular tourist destination is the huge stadium situated between the amusement park and GB Tower where tournaments are held almost daily. It's Poké Cup season and brand new Trainers are itching to join the league fray. The stadium is a very neutral turf, with a neatly-trimmed grass surface and a clay platform in the middle shaped like a Poké Ball. Glass panels are raised high around the perimeter of the battling grounds to protect the audience of well over 10.000 without obscuring their vision -- damaging these panels will incur a disqualification penalty for the offending Pokémon. Fortunately, they're highly reinforced and it would take a very significant impact to even make a scratch.
Other notes: Held items, Pokémon modifications, and unofficial Pokémon are not permitted. A newer player would be preferred as this is my first battle in years (and things have changed a lot since).

- "Hmmm..."
Upon release, Sirius exhaled a bright, ghostly ball of light, which flickered over towards Shenlong. The mienfoo ducked down and dived sideways, avoiding the light just in time for it to fade out on the ground uselessly; Shenlong smirked and rubbed her hands together, quite confident. She's clearly exhausted, but breathing hard, but still able to fight, by any means.
Frowning, Sirius sniffs the air, pinpointing a weak spot on the mienfoo - and then grabs hold of it mentally, wearing down on her mind. The fighting type has no way of fighting back, and Shenlong bends over on her knees, whimpering in pain. Sirius grins, but she loses her mental-grip, not being especially trained in the art of psychic battling; still, she did quite a bit of damage. Shenlong is still whimpering in pain, holding her head.
She shakes herself warily, blinking, then kicks the ground - and perhaps stunningly, twin boulders pop up around Sirius, rising up and trapping the little fox. Sirius yelps as the rocks push in, squeezing her tight; not only have they trapped her, they hurt. She whimpers and squeezes around, finding a position that doesn't hurt so bad, but she's still trapped, and that really puts a damper on the battle.
Still, she can locate the mienfoo mentally, and she does just that. Shenlong yelps as the vulpix enters her mind again, prancing around and pushing mind-buttons exactly where she shouldn't be. It hurts terribly - no one wants someone messing in their mind, especially a fighting type that has no ways of fighting back. Eventually though Sirius loses her grip and slips back out, finding herself trapped again between two rocks.
Shenlong sighs, rubbing her temples in pain. She kicks the ground again, and another boulder pops up, smashing against the tomb that encases Sirius. Most of it is blocked off, but some of the boulder breaks through and slams into the vulpix, scraping across her soft skin. She yelps, just as Shenlong did - it really hurts. Momentarily, at least, she's grateful for the boulders that took some of that hit for her.
