Arena: Jar of Air (Cookie Flavor)
It's a jar. Filled with cookie-scented air.
Is there really anything else to say about it?
The jar itself is large -- about three wailords in diameter and three wailords high, or high enough to Fly -- and made of some sort of clear, see-through material. While the material looks like glass and feels like glass and, in all essence, is glass, it's somehow unbreakable. The top of the jar is closed with an air-tight metal lid, to keep all the air inside the jar inside and the air outside the jar, out.
(How the trainers will get out might cause some problems, but there's been weirder arenas in ASBer, so it shouldn't cause that much of a problem.)
The best part? The air inside smells like cookies. The aroma of delicious, sweet, freshly baked cookies, right out of the oven, fills the jar, making anyone who takes a whiff start salivating like there's no tomorrow.
A pokemon can spend one action to take a deep breath of the delicious, cookie-scented air, which will energize the pokemon, restoring 5% energy and giving it a +1 boost in a random stat.
Too bad there's no actual cookies though.
Arena status: The bottom of the bottle is mildly damp.
-----
As the match progressed, the defensive, wary commands steadily gave way to more offensive, riskier tactics. That, of course, didn't necessarily mean it was about to turn into a real fight anytime soon.
Blazhy could hardly refrain from unleashing one more slashing rampage. The only thing keeping her in accordance with her commands was the prospect that, by the end of the long wait, there would be massive damage. Sitting tight and waiting for it helped her calm down a little; the anger didn't go away, but the reckless impulses did.
Meanwhile, Xero, still a little disorientated from the Iron Head previously, could do little as his mind wandered a little, then settled for a long trip to pizzaland. He spent most of the round just breezing and drooling.
At one point, he did manage to knock it off briefly and try to perform his commands. Briefly scanning the jar quickly showed that, much as Wargle suspected, a full-fledged Rock Slide would be completely silly. Maybe if there were some cookies left. Regardless, there was still hope for a something else Slide. Maybe the lid again. Constantly ripping off bits of it would enevtually end up letting the smell escape, but, it was a necessary evil. One way or the other, so as long as nobody actually went all the way through the thing, it'd be all safe.
If the falling chunks of metal ever struck the mechanical Aerodactyl, they'd have fared quite poorly against the still rather well-preserved external coating. However, what they struck was what little was left of the Substitute, which was made of the very same material, except battered badly. It was a no-contest; the decoy was shattered to tiny bits as the last of its life force depleted.
Its master went impervious the whole round, however, as stated beforehand. And that defeated the whole purpose of waiting for the opponent to land an attack.
