2vs2, double battle
DQ: 5 days
Damage Cap: 70%
Banned Moves: OHKOs, Earthquake, Direct recovery moves (ie Rest, Recover), Attract
Arena: Olympic swimming pool
There's no olympics this year, but that shouldn't stop us from trying, right! This match takes place in and around a large swimming pool, olympic-sized (that's 50 meters long, yes?) and 12 feet deep, with a shallow end on both sides that's 3 feet deep. The pool is divided into 6 lanes, separated by those floaty lane divider things. The water is a nice temperature, and doesn't have chlorine (for the Pokemon's safety).
All around the pool is a walkway for landlubbers, which is made of cement and about 3 meters wide, and then there are walls, a very high ceiling (10 meters) and windows. Don't go out of them. Weather effects such as Sunny Day will work, but to less of an effect than normal, and Hail and Rain Dance will have no effect whatsoever.

Discharge ~ Discharge ~ Discharge
Aysu suddenly feels terribly alone as she stands on the bed of the pool, facing off against an (admittedly fast-asleep) plant-dinosaur thing and a rather angry seal with barely a scratch on it. Ignoring the overwhelming odds against her, she focusses on what Waita said about her beautiful tentacles and begins to charge up energy in them, with considerable malice. She concentrates steadfastly on her hatred for the big fat seal and its slumbering comrade- rather too strongly, as her tentacle becomes electrified to a dangerous extent without her noticing, and fiercely spits sparks all around the area and in her face. Yelping in surprise, she trips and lands with a bubbly thud on the floor of the pool. Waita laughs nastily as the Chinchou struggles to her feet, growling and rubbing her fresh bruises. Meanwhile, Teropea, asleep and unaware of Aysu's underwater antics, mutters and squirms in her sleep. Though fast asleep, she seems to move consciously, tensing her muscles protectively as if anticipating some sort of impact. A slight bluish glow exudes from her body as she does so. Looking in confusion at his cohort, Waita shrugs this strange behaviour off, thinking maybe the glow's just a trick of the light caused by the water or something. He looks up at the mighty Tropius slumbering, and thinks how much he'd rather be napping just now... he doesn't have many injuries, but his energy could be a little higher. Yes, a nice little kip in his Pokéball would be just the ticket right now. Thinking intently about sleep, he can't stifle a big yawn, opening his mouth ridiculously wide and releasing a stream of yawn-bubbles. Seeing this, Aysu blinks sleepily and responds in kind. When her yawn ends, she feels... suddenly irresistibly tired.
Blinking drowsily, Aysu begins to charge up electricity in her tentacles once more; in a sort of tired angriness, he pumps power into them for all she's worth until they become two crackling balls of electric power. With a fishy roar she slaps them on the floor of the pool, unleashing a burst of electricity that fills the whole pool. Stepping back from any puddles that may have sloshed onto the sides, the trainers and referee look cautiously at the crackling pool of electrified water; Teropea's head spasms wildly on the poolside, her face contorted into a strange, sleepy frown of pain, and Waita's screeches bubble up from the base of the pool as the electricity plays havoc with his nervous system, shutting down muscles and screwing with neurones. When the electrical storm in the pool dies down, he finds himself barely able to move; Aysu, meanwhile, has finally given into that catchy, catchy yawn, and is now asleep before Waita. Teropea, still sound asleep despite the Discharge (though somewhat more lightly), suddenly stands up, eyes still shut tight, and dives below the surface again, her wing once more glowing with green energy. It slashes through Aysu lightly, leaving not so much a gash as a tiny graze. As soon as the attack finishes, Teropea's head flops to the poolside and she continues her slumber. Waita, seeing Aysu sleeping soundly, decides she's no threat and takes an action off to just hang back and chill, restoring some of his expended energy.
Teropea squirms again, letting out another sleepy snort, before lying stock still. Another blue glow forms around her, and then mysteriously solidifies into a shield of energy. Aysu mutters and squirms too, her tentacles lighting up slightly as if she's dreaming about firing off a Discharge, but remains napping on the pool bed without attacking. L'il Dwagie tuts in frustration; stupid thing should be battling, not napping on
her time! It's gonna get a Force Spanking when this is over, the Riolu thinks bitterly. Waita, feeling refreshed and having partially expelled the weird feeling in his muscles, rolls forward and pushes himself off the base of the pool with his fins. Aiming for Aysu, he pushes all his weight down towards the Chinchou and drops through the water like a brick, crushing her with all his might. Yelping in her sleep, Aysu blinks one sleepy eyelid before returning to sugarplumtown. Teropea remains fast asleep as well as her shield fades sheepishly, and the two's naps are interrupted only by painful shudders as their respective poisonings kick in.

Terrain Notes
There are now several small, melting chunks of ice floating on the surface of the pool. There is poison in the deep end behind Aysu that is gradually weakening; by Round 7 it will be gone. In round 6 it will deal 2% damge to anyone venturing there.
Final Notes
- Teropea's Sleep Talks became Endure, Fury Cutter, and Protect respectively.
- Aysu succumbed to confusion on the first action, dealing herself a few points of damage.
- Discharge paralysed Waita.
- sleep prevented Aysu from acting on the last action.
- Involuntary Twitch attacks first next round.
