Just a really short battle for experience, nothing to see here.
1vs1 single
DQ: Five days
Damage Cap: None
Banned Moves: OHKO's, direct heals (chills allowed).
Arena: Mt. Chimney/Jagged Pass
This battle takes place on both routes; description can be found here and here. Basically, it's a rocky terrain; ashen filled grass can be found on the Jagged Pass, where the battle starts. The trees and such are also covered with soot, and there is little to no water unless provided with a move like rain dance.
Speaking of soot, doesn't there have to be side effects from battling and breathing in volcanic ash? Why yes! Spending time in the burnt up grass or doing other things (determined at ref's discretion) can cause a number of side effects. There's about a 25% chance of it occuring when you do such dangerous things, and the effects include but are not limited to:
A 25% chance of getting lightly confused.
A 20% chance of getting lightly poisoned.
A 15% chance of getting mildly confused.
A 15% chance of getting mildly poisoned.
A 10% chance of wasting an action coughing (like a flinch).
A 10% chance of rustling up the ash and smoke, causing the effect of smokescreen upon all pokemon.
A 5% chance of getting both mildly confused and lightly poisoned.
Up at the volcano, where the problematic substance is given off, the chance of such things happening is a flat 25% each round. If it is determined that it will occur to a pokemon, the action in which it will happen is randomized.
Pokemon native to Hoenn use 1% less energy per action, unless that would make the energy cost of a move zero. Pokemon found on the Jagged Pass use 2% less energy per action (this does not stack with the Hoenn bonus and has the same rules) and have the chances of being affected by the ash lowered to 15%. Poison type pokemon are obviously immune to the ash's effects.
Other: Only fully unevolved pokemon may participate; single stage lines are banned.
Pre-Battle
Soot. Soot everywhere! That was all the ref could think as he walked on to Jagged Pass late, the battlers long since having set up. Coughing out the soot that had already gotten in his throat-and putting on a mask to stop anymore from getting in-he signaled for the battle to begin

Round 1 Begins!
Novale, who felt he had been waiting damn well long enough to start, was disappointed that he would not be charging at the bouncing spring guy yet. Instead, Novale was only to burn him to a crisp with blue flames-on second thought, that sounded just fine in his book. Sitting down, he opened up his mouth and managed to fire out a few blueish-white flames that simply floated in mid air, seemingly unaffected by gravity. After making about 4 of these, Novale was satisfied and, with a simple flick of his head, flung the balls of fire at Yakuza, who promptly-and with much zeal-flung them all away using his mind into some nearby grass, to the irritation of Novale.
Yakuza, who had been barely containing his excitement during the first few minutes of the battle, let it all burst out. It was time to role play, and he just loved to role play! He was going to play as an arcanine today, and he would be so ferocious and scary! He would do the part we-*COUGH COUGH COUGH* Yakuza lost all thoughts of role playing as the soot got into his mouth and forced him to cough, leaving the ref in shock as he hadn't known that Spoink actually /had/ mouths. He was only snapped out of his shock as suddenly, the sun popped out of the cloud of soot, harsher than normal. Apparently, Novale had been busy while Yakuza was hopping around and coughing with making the sun come out.
Yakuza, who was dazzled by the sudden bright light, smelled something burning, and then a sharp pain as she was hit back a few feet by a sudden burning charge by Novale, which was only made stronger due to the bright sun. Barely staying on her spring and hopping, Yakuza glared angrily at a smug Novale, who immediately looked to be in great pain. Pawing on the ground and whimpering, Novale could only wait until the pain subsided, with his mental defenses feeling weakened, and when it did he saw Yakuza looking down upon him, bouncing, with a happy look on his face. Before anything else could happen, however, the ref waved his reffing flags and ordered the round to be over.
End of Round 1!
