Arena: Roy’s Office
This battle takes place in the office of General Roy Mustang of Eastern Amestrian Command. The room is large and square, with huge windows at one end, and a door at the other. A desk, with Roy himself seated in it, is under the windows, covered with papers that have a 15% per round chance of being flung to the floor by Roy’s frustration. There are two leather couches between the desk and door that may be climbed. The floor is wooden, and has a bit of dust around that can be used for attacks like Sand Tomb, Sand Attack, ect. There are two rows of bookshelves on the walls on the opposite sides of the room. The Pokemon in the battle are reduced in size so that something like, say, steelix, would be around a foot tall, and something like pikachu would be around 4-5 inches. There is a 20% per round chance that Roy will look up from his work, notice the Pokemon, and attack them for 5% Fire-typed damage with his flame alchemy, and the chance is upped if an Earthquake attack is used to 50% chance that round. There is also a 25% chance that Edward Elric will come into the room and yell at Roy, effective as a Screech attack.
Round Nine: Begin!
Realizing that it's too much to hope for the battle to be over when the sheepy finally collapses, Roy puts his fingers in his ears and hums loudly to himself.
They'll go away if I ignore them, they'll go away if I ignore them...
The Treecko that Lord Shyguy chooses to take Amp's place is fit as a fiddle and convinced that he's more than a match for some flightless bird, however, and so it is not likely that he will go away anytime soon. Chaos wastes no time, forming a sphere of bright, leafy green energy between his hands almost immediately after his feet hit the wet floor. The ball of natural energy swells and pulses dangerously as Chaos shapes it, and he spins around and releases it in Jinkosen's direction. The Piplup has no time to move out of the way, and so the energy ball hits him head on; the raw life energy eats away at Jinkosen's feathers and singes the skin underneath. Shaking it off as quickly as he can and with no desire to be outdone, the Piplup opens his beak so that a small, bright blue light can be seen shining in it. The air temperature around him drops several degrees as the light continues to form, and the resulting ice beam that hits Chaos around the midriff is absolutely frigid. A very thin dusting of ice forms over the Treecko's red belly, and Chaos flinches and shivers violently.
A nasty, purplish slime dribbles from the corners of Chaos's mouth as he moves toward his foe; he doesn't look as though he's enjoying the taste at all and is apparently fighting the urge to vomit, but he marches forward all the same. Jinkosen eyes him warily and takes a few steps back--he doesn't want to be anywhere near the stupid lizard if it decides to barf all over this guy's office floor. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have a say in the matter. Chaos walks right up to him and spews the purple mess all over Jinkosen's chest feathers. This, like the energy ball before it, burns horribly, but this time the pain does not go away. The powerful toxins burn his skin and start to seep through, entering the Piplup's bloodstream and causing him to feel quite ill. Scowling, Jinkosen turns as if to run away. Chaos is sure that the little penguin is going to dash off to a corner and cry about it, but instead of fleeing and hiding Jinkosen runs in a tight circle around his foe, stubby little legs and awkward flipper-feet going as fast as he can make them. When he stops, panting slightly, two other Piplup appear to be standing beside him.
Chaos shakes his head, telling himself that there's no reason for him to worry about the two extra Piplup. He'll get rid of all of them just the same. And why not start that by adjusting the conditions to better suit him? Chaos closes his eyes and whispers a silent prayer to the gods above, humbly asking them to chase away the clouds he can see through the window and intensify the sunlight that is shining down. As he mutters, the thick, pillowy clouds do indeed part, and the mighty, unblinking eye of the sun glares down. Chaos takes a deep breath and spreads his arms, expecting to be able to bask in the inviting heat... but the temperature inside the office, out of the direct sunlight, has only gone up by a few degrees. It isn't even enough to speed up the melting of the ice still coating his belly. Jinkosen yawns, unimpressed.
The light has a much more noticeable effect on Roy. Realizing that it suddenly seems to have gotten an awful lot lighter in here, his head snaps up--and, with his desk directly in front of the large windows, he gets an eyeful of intensely bright sunlight. Roy's hands fly up over his eyes and he shouts angrily, temporarily blinded. "You nasty little... rat... annoying... rat things!" he screams, turning around and pointing at the floor but unable to see either Jinkosen or Chaos clearly. "You did this! I
know you did this!" Fire dances around his white-gloved fingertips and, snarling, he shoots it down at the floor at random. By sheer dumb luck, he manages to hit the very rat thing responsible. Chaos lets out a shriek as the flames hit his tail and hurries to roll around on the wet floor in an attempt to put himself out, but the damage is done; his tail is badly singed. Suddenly a lot more interested, Jinkosen and his clones point and laugh at the Treecko's misfortune.
They are not laughing for very long, however. Without warning the door slams open violently, and the giggling Piplup's ears are suddenly bombarded with angry screaming. "Mustang, you idiot! What the heck do you think you're
doing?! Stop setting your damn office on fire and
get back to work!" The door slams again and the sound of Edward stomping down the hallway can be heard quite clearly, each thump causing Jinkosen's ringing ears to throb. Chaos, who had been much too distracted by his own wailing to pay Ed much mind, sits up and snickers half-heartedly.
"It's not my fault!" Roy whines, taking a swipe at his desk with frustration. Several sheets of paper are flung to the ground, covering it further and potentially making it even more treacherous. Jinkosen pays this no mind; he doesn't have a lot of ground to cross to cover the distance between him and his opponent. He and his two clones run forward, heads lowered and beaks thrust out. Chaos has no time to get up and move away--Jinkosen is on him in seconds, digging at his scales with his sharp little beak and twisting and wrenching away for all he is worth. Chaos screeches yet again as he feels several painful cuts and welts open up on his chest and arms.

Ref's Notes
-Jinkosen created the default two Double Team clones.
-The battle is taking place indoors, so I can't imagine Sunny Day would have much of an effect (unless FMC strongly disagrees).
-The RNG wants to let you guys know that Roy and Ed really do not like you. ;)
-On that note, I am assuming that those event chances aren't mutually exclusive. If they aren't supposed to all be able to happen at once, let me know and I will make the round less entertaining.
-Full Metal Cookies attacks first next round.
