Arena: A Very Large Chunk of 60% Cocoa Dark Chocolate
This is another one of Linoone's infamous food arenas. Although not as interesting as, say, a blueberry pie or a cup of tea, chocolate is still chocolate, and this very large chunk of 60% cocoa dark chocolate is the good stuff indeed. This chunk of chocolate is a rich, dark color, for it has been made from the finest cocoa beans grown in the region of Teakod, a place famous for it various foods and tea (mostly tea). A faint, sweet aroma hovers over the arena constantly. The battlefield is simple: a large, 30 by 20m (about 100 by 65 ft) rectangular chunk of chocolate. The chunk of chocolate seems to be infinitely tall, but falling off is impossible, for any Pokemon (or careless human) knocked off the arena will be magically transported back on. The chocolate is hard, but digging in it would be no problem at all, for it is easily malleable.
Chocolate is not chocolate if it does not melt, and the arena does just that -- it starts rock-hard, but will slowly soften over time until it becomes a slightly squishy (but still solid) block at the end of the fifth round. The chocolate then stops melting. However, extremely hot temperatures will cause the chocolate to melt considerably faster, and one can even create pools of molten chocolate (mmmm... delicious) with a flamethrower if one feels like it. The pool will gradually solidify into a soft solid though. The softened chocolate does not have much effects, unless you count squishiness as an effect.
The arena is, of course, edible. A Pokemon can spend an action to eat a piece of chocolate for a temporary caffeine-induced boost (Attack, Special Attack, and Speed +1 for 3 actions). However, the caffeine-induced crash aftereffect will cause the Pokemon to temporary loose -2 Speed, -1 Attack, and -1 Special Attack for 2 actions after the boost has faded. The boosts can be stacked (for example, a Pokemon can be ordered to eat 2 pieces of chocolate at once, which counts as two actions, and receive +2 boost in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed for 3 actions, but receive a 2 action crash of -4 Speed, -2 Attack, and -2 Special Attack).
Other: People and Pokemon allergic to chocolate are not recommended to battle here. The referee gets to keep the arena (which is an infinitely tall chunk of chocolate) after the battle is over.
KQ grabbed her next pokeball after recalling her Vulpix, seemingly taking her defeat hard. She threw it towards Crunch, and out of it came Fafneer the Houndoom, letting out a defeaning howl.
Crunch burst into laughter, seeing how thin he was, but stopped the instant he noticed that he was staying before a canine.
Another One?

Fafneer looked around, keeping Crunch in his eýes all the time. With these theeth, he could easily shatter each and every of his bones, that is if he would live to do that. He did his best to become intimidating, the few fur he had standing up, his eyes glowing, he body taking on a battle position. After being more or less sure he was creepy enough, he let out a devastating roar towards Crunch, expecting the crocodile to cower in fear or run away, or something else.
Crunch, however, didn't seem to be impressed at all. In fact, his tiny brain probably didn't realize that the Roar was acctualy Fafneer's way of trying to intimidate him. Not shaken even a little, he started concentrating on gathering water in his mouth. Water started gurgling in his mouth, but Crunch didn't even hear it, for the roar swallowed any other noise. Second afterwards, Crunch zoomed towards Fafneer, water coming out of his wide in a wild flurry. Then, he spat a bunch of water before him in a form of a sphere, jumped on it- and it started moving forward quickly, like a waterfall that went sidewards instead of downwards. His whole body got covered in water moments latter, and the water started covering more and more space, its power getting boosted by almost every boost Crunch could give it. Then, almost in an instant, Crunch crashed into Fafneer, who was too busy Roaring to notice Crunch, and sent him flying backwards, his light weight not helping him at all. The water around Crunch disappeared, and so did the rain.
Fafneer, after landing on the cake, let out a howl of anger. His whole body hurt. Surely it was hard to believe that a single attack damaged him so badly- but still, it did. He wanted to let out his whole anger, to let the stupid Crocodile drown in it. And he could. His trainer commanded him to.
Shifting around angrily, he took a step towards Crunch, and started whispering him something. Crunch looked at him with an irritated look, showing some curiosity. Then, all of a sudden, Fafneer started swearing every single swearing word a pokemon could imagine,
so horrific that I would get sued if I would write them angering Crunch and making his eyes turn red. Crunch started shouting on Fafneer, jumping around angrily and spitting towards Fafneer. Fafneer jumped backwards, and a smug look of satifastion covered his face. He managed to fool his foolish opponent.
Crunch started shaking his head angrily, and started thinking trough.
Audience: What? IMPOSSIBLE What did his trainer tell him? He had a forefeeling that that Fafneer would Torment him. That meant that he had a feeling his feelings wouldn't stand before these mocking words, which meant he didn't trust him...
Crunch started letting out a sad sigh, and then went back to thinking. Waterfall didn't seem to be such an impressive attack anymore- maybe he should use the other Option his trainer gave him. Yes! And maybe then he would show him he can beat that Fafneer.
Focusing on the battle once again, Crunch took on his battle position, his hands held in the 'im going to charge some
'kamehameha' aura sphere-like attack' pose. Slowly but steadily, water started charging between his 'hands', looking like a whirlpool in thin air. After a short while, a sphere of water appeared in between his hands. It was about the size of his head, not including the mouth, and surely enough to smash that Fafneer. He released it towards him, and it flew with astounding speed, smashing into Fafneer, who tried to block it with his horn, lowering the damage, even if not that much.
Fafneer groaned. It might have been the first round of the battle, but he was already battered and bruised all over his body. While it was only the start of the battle, and he still had a very big edge, the stupid aligator was dealing him such heavy amount of damage that he almost started doubting he will survive another round like this one. Shaking his fear aside, Fafneer started thinking, plotting. He started focusing on stuff like how he will torture that Crocodile, take out his ribs, make him suffer. His grinned, and the scars on his face looked even worse. He started laughing, his head full of fresh new ideas of how he should insinarate Crunch.
Crunch was a little bit disturbed by the laughter, but it didn't matter. The gurgling came back to his mouth, and he charged towards Fafneer, gliding inside yet another Waterfall attack, this one being a little weaker than the previous one. Fafneer, aware of the attack and the commands he was given, waited until the attack came really close...
...And jumped out of it's way just in time, watching Crunch zoom trough the place on which he stood a breath before. Still, the jump exhausted Fafneer a little, and he let out a sigh.
"End of the round!" The referee shouted, coming out of seemingly nowhere with a bunch of chocolate in his mouth. However, instead of a turtwig, it was Kenny, the Totodile replacement. Mumbling something like 'I ought to take that cake after the battle's done', the trainers started talking with their pokemon.

Reff's notes:
-It would be impossible to Dodge a Waterfall attack while howling, so I decided Fafneer would be left for Crunch's mercy on that action. And the RNG gods were on his side.
-Because Crunch is some kind of aligator, that means he shouldn't be all too afraid of Fafneer, so I made a dice roll to see if Fafneer managed to scare Crunch.
He didn't, because Crunch rolled a 95, and Fafneer rolled a 5.
-Linoone attacks first next round.
-When im rolling dice, high numbers are good, and low numbers are bad.
-The last Waterfall has been dodged, not that it matters.
