The arena is a lot of warm sand in my backyard. 30 ft x 60 ft is the allotted space to battle in. The rest is stuff that I don't want broken and will fine you if you do. My dad is cooking burgers and steaks on the grill, the radio is playing, and a few invited guests are watching from the patio.
Other: You can go ABOVE the arena but NOT UNDER IT! The weather is initially sunny and will remain so until otherwise changed. The radio does NOT affect your Pokémon even if it doesn't have sound proof (hey, it's my arena). No Pokémon bigger than 5' or 60 lbs.

By now, Whiskers was incredibly bored of repeating the same attack over, and over, and over, and over… But eh, whatever got him the victory. It couldn’t go on for much longer now. Working his jaws, the Skelitten let acid, shadowy energy engulf his fangs. With a little growl he darted forward and plunged his open muzzle into Floony’s side, chewing at the ghostly flesh to work the Dark-type power in further. Floony groaned and jerked violently, prompting Whiskers to jump back. By now, the Drifloon’s purple leathery hide was so ragged, it looked like it had been punched through by heavy, relentless hail.

Despite the intense pain the Crunch must’ve caused Floony, he didn’t wake up. As per usual, he just let out a garbled yell and settled into a different position. Inside the balloon Pokemon’s head, chaotic dreams of torture unfolded, even as Whiskers prepared his rending teeth for another Crunch. The Skelitten leapt – and landed right on Floony’s face, where he ruthlessly buried his fangs deep, the caustic energy surrounding them burning at the Drifloon’s very core. He screeched in terrible agony and thrashed from side to side, flinging Whiskers to the sand. The spectral cat lay on his side, winded, for a few seconds before scrambling to his feet. For some reason, though, even though he had evidently hit a weak spot, Floony was still conscious; it should’ve been able to tip him over the edge. Whiskers sat down with a huff and shuffled his paws on the sand.

A minute or so passed, and Floony still did not submit to unconsciousness. Even though he had settled down, he was still muttering random words that, when stringed together, made no logical sense at all. His dreams as frenzied as before, if not even more so, though the edges of his dream-vision were dotted with black.

Whiskers glared at his opponent before curling up in a ball, his chin rested on his front paws. Ugh, what a troublesome opponent… Still, if that last Crunch didn’t take him out, nothing would – at least, not this round. He was getting pretty tired, at any rate. The glowing red irises visible through the eye sockets abruptly winked out of existence and a peaceful sigh escaped the Skelitten’s mouth as his tensed muscles relaxed and vitality trickled back into his fatigued form. In contrast to Whisker’s tranquil rest, Floony was shifting uncomfortably in the sand not too far away, his string-like appendages twitching every so often.

Nothing to note.

Final notes
FMC attacks first next round.
The 2nd Crunch was a critical hit – not that it mattered, because it would’ve hit the damage cap anyway.
Floony hit the damage cap on the 2nd action.

Er, what? *headdesk* Crap. Lemme re-write that chunk...

I just saw 2 Crunches, so my mind immediately said, "Then the last action should be Crunch too, heh." Sorry 'bout that.

Edit: Alright, it's been fixed. Once again, sorry :<

By now it was glaringly obvious that just one more attack would be enough to push Floony into unconsciousness. The Drifloon was in a truly dilapidated state, purple skin pockmarked with countless holes as well as several tears; if he was awake, chances were that he wouldn’t have been able to even float. As he shifted back onto his side, a shrill voice, almost incoherent with pain, emanated from his mouth: Don’t kill meeee, it squeaked. Whiskers’s tail twitched in grim amusement.

Slowly, the Skelitten sat back and worked his jaws, stimulating the stores in the roof of him mouth to mix some particularly noxious chemicals. When he was satisfied with the acidity of the dark-type energy, he let it drip down his teeth, which he then bared in a snarl. He darted forward and ground his teeth down on one of Floony’s yellow-tipped appendages. The combination of serrated teeth and the caustic energy surrounding Whiskers’s fangs actually frayed the tough, black wire; unable to stand the pain, Floony simply shuddered and passed out. Whiskers flicked his tail contemptuously and stepped back, smirking.

…Not fast enough. Unbeknownst to Whiskers, Floony had subconsciously concentrated the reactive gases in his body just before the final blow, and now they came together in a blindingly bright, earsplitting mini-nova. The resulting burst was strong, strong enough to knock what looked like several pounds of sand into the air, not to mention Whiskers himself, and leave a crater in the sandy floor. The Skelitten squealed in pain and shock as he was flung backwards, two or three merry little fires blazing away on his body. He landed a meter or so away, the breath driven out of his body; as soon as he recovered he leapt to his paws with a frantic squeal and started running in circles, trying to blow the flames out.

Floony, however, didn’t have the luxury of putting out the flames on his body – well, the fragments of his body. Little purple patches of leathery substance floated serenely through the air to settle in the crater created by the explosion, still alight with small blazes. They fizzled out as the remnants of Floony’s skin touched on the ground. Somehow, the patches managed to land in a pattern that very much resembled the Drifloon’s face, and he seemed to be smiling, like he had just fulfilled his mission in life by exploding. Bemused and slightly disturbed, Loco Mocho recalled his fainted Pokemon back to the safety of his Pokeball and crossed the arena to shake hands with his opponent.

Terrain notes
A crater has been carved into the sand by Floony’s Aftermath.

Final notes
Floony fainted on the 1st action.
Did I mention that explosions are very, very fun to write?

The battle is over, and FMC is the winner. She gets $8, I get $5 for reffing, and Loco Mocho gets $3.
Whiskers gets 2 EXP, while Floony gets 1. Because Whiskers was holding a Dusk Stone, he can now evolve. Good game, you two. It was fun to ref – at the very least, the explosion at the end was fun.
