Seeing it seems we can be in more than one battle at once, I'm gonna go ahead and post a challenge as well I think =3 Don't have any experience with ASB, and I guess there's only one way to get it! xD
2 vs 2 Single
Style: Set
DQ: Standard week
Damage cap: 30%
Banned moves: OHKOs, weather changing moves/abilities (ie. Rain Dance or Drought) as the arena is essentially inside and no weather occurs.
Arena:
THE TREE OF BEGINNING
The Tree of Beginning is a mysterious entity. A living organism that feeds on sunlight, the Tree acts almost exactly like the living thing it's named for (though it is in fact a rock formation with a crystal structure), however, it also seems to have an advanced circulatory system that spreads out through its entire being. Crystals also populate a great majority of the tree, and even extend beyond it's perimeter. Often, strong Aura users can use these crystals for communication.
The Tree of Beginning homes a wide variety of Pokemon within its interior, which it acts to protect it through the use of golem-like guardians as well as an advanced "immune system", which attacks only humans and machines. Any Pokemon can pass through freely.
There is also a deep chasm located somewhere within the Tree. It is criss-crossed with a web of narrow rock paths and it's extremely windy. Light Pokemon and trainers especially can easily be blown off if they're not careful. There is a 30% chance that a Pokemon under 200 lbs will slip and fall a random distance (10 ft, 20 ft, or 30 ft) before catching itself. If it falls 10 feet it receives 3% damage, 20 ft it received 6% damage, and 30 ft it receives 10% damage.
The battle itself takes part throughout the entire interior of the Tree, through the various caverns that extend from the main chamber. After two rounds, the Tree will be aware of the human presences within it, and it's immune system will begin to act.
Every round thereafter has a 15% chance of an anti-body in the form of an ancient Pokemon appearing. This anti-body acts as an enemy Pokemon with the following stats:
Health: 15%
Energy: 100% (not used, as it only focuses on absorbing)
Type: ??? (has neither an advantage nor disadvantage over anything)
This antibody when it appears, only one can be active at a time, must be destroyed or it will start to absorb a random trainer. Every round it is not destroyed, the process of absorbing a trainer will inflict the trainer's Pokemon with a status condition that goes as follows: first round after not being destroyed inflicts the trainer being absorbed's Pokemon with confusion (it doesn't know what's going on), second round after not being destroyed inflicts the trainer being absorbed's Pokemon with paralysis (it's terrified for its trainer), and the third round after not being destroyed it absorbs the trainer completely, meaning that the Pokemon must continue without orders (ie. ref chooses a random move from its movepool) and it then acts as the last available Pokemon for battle that the absorbed trainer has.
Basically, the battle with the antibody will go as so:
Antibody appears -- trainers attack, can choose to attack the antibody or the other trainer's Pokemon -- if still active, antibody begins to absorb a random trainer and inflicts their Pokemon with confusion -- trainers attack -- if still active, antibody continues to absorb trainer and inflicts their Pokemon with paralysis stacked on confusion -- trainers attack -- if still active, antibody absorbs trainer completely, Pokemon is now on its own.
However, there is a way to avoid the antibodies. If a trainer is using a Pokemon with Aura abilities -- basically, a Pokemon that has access to the move Aura Sphere at any stage of evolution, so while Togepi can't learn it, Togekiss can, therefore Togepi counts as an Aura Pokemon. Basically, just Riolu and Togepi's lines count normally (all others are legends), though a Pokemon that has gained Aura Sphere through a body mod or likewise may also count -- they can communicate with it via the crystals, effectively battling outside of the Tree. Therefore, any antibodies that appear will not go after them, but instead directly attack anyone inside the Tree.
However, any sort of machinery (be it false limbs or communication devices) will also be targeted. If a Pokemon has a mechanical false limb, there is a chance they too will be attacked by an antibody with the same effects as if the antibody was attacking their trainer, though if they are aborbed that is the equivalent of a faint.
Effect recap: Colour coded for ease of reference.
If battle has moved to the wind chasm within the Tree [falling]
After the first two rounds, Tree has become aware of human presence [antibodies]
I know, kind of an in-depth battle field, but I like fleshing things out xD Sorry if it's confusing at all, that's why I colour coded it. I'll answer any questions of course. And I think I'm going to add this to my arena stockpile, I actually rather like how it turned out, even though I don't really know why people would be fighting in the Tree of Beginning xD
