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 Eleven: Begin!
Hoping fervently that he isn't about to get hit with another ice beam, Chaos closes his eyes and concentrates. Little flecks of greenish energy begin to float in the air around him, stretching and warping themselves into the shape of sharp-edged leaves. The leaves shoot forward and slice into Jinkosen's soft, feathery body before the Piplup can react; they pepper him mercilessly and leave several small and thin but very painful cuts across his face, chest and flippers. Jinkosen winces and staggers back, but when he looks up again he is already preparing another attack. The temperature around the Piplup drops, much more severely than it does whenever he uses ice beam, and Jinkosen inhales as deeply as he can, his little frame puffed up to a much larger size. Chaos blanches; whatever this is it looks like it's going to be an awful lot worse than a thin little ice beam, and he doesn't have any time to do anything about it. A blast of frigid, sub-zero wind explodes out of Jinkosen's beak, little droplets from his internal water supply frozen into chunks of ice and snow that pelt the Treecko along with the arctic wind. A much thicker layer of frost forms over the front of Chaos's body, encrusting his face, arms and upper body with what amounts to a heavy, icy mask and straitjacket. The added weight and the constant battering of wind cause him to topple over backward; little bits of the ice on the edges chip off on impact, but the Treecko remains trapped and supine on the ground, his legs and tail flailing around helplessly in the air. Several of the puddles of water on the floor, left over from Jinkosen's Hydro Pump, ice over as well.
Muffled wailing can be heard from somewhere underneath Chaos's icy muzzle, and he redoubles his flailing in an attempt to stand up or do anything remotely useful at all. He can't pick himself up, however, and the little half-formed energy leaves around him peter out and die before they can assume the proper shape and velocity. Sighing with relief, Jinkosen takes the opportunity to catch his breath after that strenuous attack before letting loose with another one. The penguin screeches loudly and shrilly in an uncomfortably high pitch; while Roy cringes and puts his hands over his ears, cursing silently, Chaos is unable to hear much of anything with the thick sheet of ice over his face and ears and continues his thrashing unabated.
Chaos tries one more time, trying to remain calm and focus on getting back at Jinkosen. The little green energy leaves manifest themselves above the motionless Treecko and, thanks to his concentration, actually take the proper shape and dart forward. Since he can't see where Jinkosen is from his vulnerable and compromising position on the ground, however, the leaves whiz harmlessly by their target and scatter on the floor behind him. Jinkosen sneers and shakes his head; the next thing Chaos knows, Jinkosen has rushed at him as fast as he can and left a nasty, stinging cut across his tail. Jinkosen cannot stop himself right away, only coming to a halt when he slips on the ice patches and wet, slick paper on the floor and falls onto his bottom several feet behind Chaos. The Piplup stands up quickly and dusts himself off haughtily, resuming his sneer and making sure that the room at large knows that he
meant to do that and it was actually a heck of a lot more dignified than it looked. And hey, at least he isn't frozen to the floor like
some chumps he could name. Indeed, all Chaos has going for him at the moment is the fact that the bright sunlight streaming in from the large window is slowly starting to melt the ice covering him.

Status: Speed +2; Frozen (mild); face, chest and arms covered in a thinning layer of ice and quite miserable
Arena Status: A notebook and some crumpled balls of paper litter the floor, which is damp and slightly charred in a few places. Many sheets of paper are scattered around by the desk, making it near impossible to move around that area without sliding on them. The floor near the bookcase farthest from the door, specifically, is soaked and dotted with soggy, ruined books; several ice patches are scattered around, but they will probably melt soon. The sun is shining brightly outside.
Sunny Day: 2 rounds remaining (outside)
Ref's Notes
-Lord Shyguy: you edited your attacks after FMC had already posted. Unless someone asks for clarification or you've actually made a mistake that needs fixing (i.e. too many attacks), you are not allowed to edit attacks after your opponent posts (or, if you're posting second, after about 24 hours; you don't know whether your ref has already started writing up the round with your original commands). Even if you didn't intend to be dishonest, the edit you made changes the way the commands FMC already posted would work and is considered cheating. I've reffed the round using your previous commands as a result. Do not edit your attacks unnecessarily again; just accept that you overlooked something and move on. Consider yourself warned.
-Chaos's Razor Leaf failed on the second action due to complications with his freezing.
-Supersonic failed because Chaos couldn't make out the sound through the ice covering his ears.
-Chaos was able to pull together something resembling a Razor Leaf on the third action, but it missed.
-Aerial Ace's damage was reduced because Chaos's awkward position prevented Jinkosen from landing a proper hit.
-FMC attacks first next round.
