Arena: Sky Canopy
The Sky Canopy is a circular platform big enough to house even the largest of Pokémon; it is made of moss-covered stone. The platform is balancing on a tall pillar, which stands in the center of an even larger lake. The lake is off-limits for the battle, however - all fighting will take place on the platform. The Canopy is unnaturally sturdy considering its old and withered state, and can endure even an Earthquake attack without breaking apart.
The view from the Canopy is breathtaking; beyond the lake just below the platform, one can behold lush forests, endless plains, deserts and mountains and ancient buildings - the Sky Canopy happens to be situated very high up in the air, hence the name. A fall from the platform will guarantee a knock-out, even though you would land in water.
Rumor has it that the Sky Canopy once housed a certain colossus...

The Beast twitched and grumbled in his sleep. His eyes slowly opened, taking in the arena around him – it took him a moment to realize just where he was. Once he did, though, he immediately got up, shaking himself awake and snarling at Luminous. The aerodactyl can’t remember what happened while he slept, so he assumes the staryu did
something unpleasant.
Hissing in anger, The Beast begins to lash out at Luminous, mocking it for how it constantly uses the same attacks. Can’t it come up with
any sort of strategy?
Anything? The Beast had heard staryu were meant to be smart, and had expected a real battle, but man was he disappointed! Luminous just kept doing the same thing over and over! The Beast laughed, clearly enjoying himself.
Luminous, of course, felt quite differently. The staryu was nearly blushing with shame and anger; it wasn’t
that repetitive… Stupid aerodactyl, who does he think he is? Luminous fumed silently, however; instead of attacking, it let itself drop to the platform. Its tired body was more than enough to convince the staryu to rest; even in such a short time, it would regain enough energy to feel a lot better.
The Beast apparently had similar ideas. Snorting, he sat down on the spot, staring at Luminous while he covered himself with his wings. Though he wasn’t as tired, he wasn’t bouncing off the walls either.
A bit hesitant, Luminous raised itself from the platform, staring at The Beast. It had used Water Pulse several times before and felt a bit worried about it now, but not so much that it wouldn’t use it. The Beast winced as a powerful burst of water struck him, soaking his rough body even further than it already was; he leered hatefully at Luminous.
Since The Beast found it preferable to continue relaxing, Luminous should have no problems attacking. But it did; the thought of using another Water Pulse terrified it. Despite its previous success with the attack, all it could remember when it thought of Water Pulse were the aerodactyl’s harsh words, and it shivered in fear. So
way was it using that attack again, not so soon after it had just used it.
Clearly pleased, The Beast shifted his position; after this round, he’d have plenty of energy to spend knocking the life out of that stupid, stupid staryu. And he intended to do just that.
