Arena: A field in Holon
A flat, almost completely so, green, thriving field in a supposedly fictional region. Encircling where the battlers will be are odd glowing stones, of a hue of every colour imaginable. Strangely, there are only seventeen stones, though these shift colour every now and then.
There is a legend in Holon, about Pokemon that are not the types they should be, like Psychic Vileplumes or Electric Pidgeots. For a while, this has been only a legend, until such Pokemon where actually found. In Holon, this field is a national park, though small, so destruction is frowned upon, though for whatever reason, Trainers may come to battle, or watch battles here every once in a while.
Not a very smart idea, on the government's part.
Every round, there is an 80% chance of the battling Pokemon spontaneously changing types. Their weaknesses, resistances, and STAB are not the only things that change, however, the Pokemon is coated in an aura of the colour of the type they have changed into, red for Fire, for example, that has a 20% chance of doing 1% damage of whatever type the aura is on contact. These changes fade at the end of each round, though the next round there is still an 80% of a type change. What type the Pokemon changes into is up to the referee.
On the side, there is a small pond for aquatic Pokemon, about twenty feet square and seven meters deep.
Based on the TCG.

This time, the stones circling the arena didn’t seem inclined to do anything. Phanel could almost imagine a voice saying,
Screw it, if you guys are just going to lie there, we’ll be lazy too! while Storm was still thrashing, or at least trying to, in aggravation.
Deciding to concentrate on the battle, Phanel clenched a tight fist around a spoon, once again shrouding it in a tan-coloured energy that was, at first, barely noticeable. Not far from the humanoid Pokemon, Storm had finally pummeled her twitching muscles into submission and managed to stumble to her feet – only to trip over a small rock she did not see in her swimming vision and fall down all over again. The Bagon managed to twist to the side in an attempt to preserve the delicate bones in her snout, but failed to factor in one of the seventeen large boulders that was on her left… Ouch. Her hard skull struck the rock with a sharp, unpleasant
crack and she let out a slurred cry of pain.
Meanwhile, Phanel had finished concentrating an absurd amount of energy into his fist: it was now glowing so bright it was painful to look at. Stepping towards his opponent, the Kadabra gave a shout before driving his radiant hand into Storm’s side at an inconceivable speed. Evidently able to feel the full shock of the attack through her confusion, the Bagon screeched in terrible agony as one or two of her ribs cracked under the pressure, and as Phanel drew his hand back a mighty bruise had already formed where the Focus Punch had made contact.
Much to Storm’s dismay, the impressive attack was too much for her muscles to handle. Her side screamed in protest before locking up, followed by the muscles in the rest of her body, except for her mouth. It remained mobile, much to the dismay of Phanel, as she shouted all the abuse she could think of, as well as all the nasty swear words, at him. On the sidelines, Dragon winced, clearly startled that her Pokemon knew such… colourful words.
Her foul phrases fell on deaf ears. Once again, Phanel was imbuing his fist with fighting-type energy until it was actually vibrating; then he dealt another explosive punch. Storm’s wildly contracting muscles worked for her this time, though, as she suddenly jerked to the side, saving her already-bruised side from even more pain. Instead, Phanel’s fist connected with her back, sending a painful jolt up her spine.
Storm shivered as he nerves were jostled around; then she realized with dim shock that she could move. Phanel had already shifted into position, clutching a glowing fist with his other hand, eyes closed in concentration. Determined not to be the victim of a muscle-packed punch for a third time, Storm fought through her swimming thoughts and reached down deep within herself. Pulling out some unknown power, she channeled the energy into her mouth and shot it outwards in the form of a pure-white beam. Normally it would’ve missed Phanel by a quarter of a meter, but it suddenly swerved and hit the Kadabra full on in the face. With his eyes squeezed shut, Phanel hadn’t seen the beam approaching, so he stumbled back in shock, his concentration faltering and causing the aura around his fist to fade away.

Final notes
Dragon attacks first next round.
Apparently, high fuck didn’t answer Dragon’s prayers, because there was no type change.
Storm was confused on the 1st action and paralyzed on the 2nd.
Confusion lessened so much this round because getting hit repeatedly by strong attacks (Like, I don’t know, 150 BP?) does that.
