Rarity vs. Phantom- Round One
Battles take place everywhere in the world of Asber. No arena is too outlandish, too physically impossible, or too unreachable. However, some arena choices are more dangerous than others. Exemplifying this is the choice to have a battle in one of the strangest places known to man, the Distortion World. Created by Giratina, lord of ghosts and feared by the living, the Distortion World is a disturbing and ominous place. The call of the departed resonates throughout the area. It seems desolate enough, but none have ever been able to truly tell what is hidden in its depths.
Though normally inaccessible, myths exist that Negrek has a portal stowed away somewhere in ASB central to dispose of those not inclined to obeying rules. They’re just myths, of course. The ref and two parties find their way into the Distortion World through Mt. Coronet instead. After drifting for some time, the ref is finally able to secure a flat land-surface-like-thing for battling on. After some formal pleasantries (some of which are more sarcastic than others), both trainers send out their Pokémon. Two Pokéballs fly through the air, land, and open. On Phantom’s side, an orange Lizard with a flaming tail and sharp claws. And on Rarity’s side, a rock.
Well, what looks like a rock at first.
Out of the rock pops a gaseous, snickering face. Both Pokémon try to take in their surroundings- dismal trees growing in various directions, water flowing up and down at the same time, strange levitating platforms circling everywhere, screams and cries carried along some nonexistent wind. A creepy place, indeed. The ref then raises his flags, signaling for the match to begin. Almost immediately, commands are spoken and attacks begun.

Round One, Begin!
Deciding to start off with defense, Kadan quickly unleashes some smoke from his internal flame until a large cloud of it covers the area. The thick, black, billowing smoke all but blinds Creeper's view of anything. Creeper, though, doesn't seem to be worried about the sudden blindness, or at least not at the moment. Kadan, expecting at least an outburst of annoyance, hears Creeper chanting an arcane and fairly disturbing chant from inside the cloud. The smoke moves a bit, as if Creeper was dancing inside it. Then, thunder rumbles from somwhere in the Disortion world, and a heavy downpour begins to fall. Only, it doesn't fall down. It falls everywhere. Because of the utter lack of uniform gravity, water falls in every which direction. As it happens, it proves to be less effective in quelling Kadan's fire.
Continuing with his defensive, Kadan runs as fast as he possibly can around the smoke, forming a circle around the unfortunate Spiritomb caught in the cloud. When Creeper prepares to attack, he tries to find a target to aim at. Through the smoke, he can hazily see an outline of six Charmeleons... wait, six? Creeper takes aim at one, or so he thinks. Muttering more arcane and dark spells, a slew of nasty energy builds up around Creeper. The energy reaches a critical point, and then Creeper sends it flying towards a hazy outline with a terrifying shriek. The Dark Pulse exits the cloud and harmlessley flies between two of Kadan's clones and continues into the space of the Distortion World, perhaps never to be seen again.
Snickering, Kadan slowly circles around the cloud. He has a rough estimate of where Creeper is. Though the rain impedes him slightly, Kadan Opens his mouth and releases an intensely hot jet of flame into the cloud. By the sound of a yelp and the clattering of a stone, Kadan knows his Flamethrower struck true. Creeper, irritated by the intense heat and damage to his keystone, decides to set up some defensive measures of his own. After saying another set of ancient murmurings, Creeper splits into four. To Kadan, the four faint outlines appear to come and go in the smoke. Annoyed slightly, Kadan contiues to circle the smoke cloud, waiting for an oppurtunity.
Round One, End!

Status: -1 Acc. 6 clones remaining.
Mood: Enjoying how this is going.
Arena Notes:
There is a thick cloud of smoke surrounding Creeper about 4 feet in diameter. The smoke will dissapate in 2 actions. It is raining wildly, and droplets are flying in every direction. It will continue to do so for 5 more actions.
Ref's notes:
-The way I ref smokescreen, the user recieves -1 Acc. because they are somewhat restricting their view of their target, yet they have a basic idea of where theirtarget is. The reipient recieves -2 Acc. because they lose a sense of surroundings, plus they don't really know where their attacker is.
-Because of the Distortion World's screwy gravity, Rain Dance worked less effectively. It weakened the power of fire-type moves to 3/4 rather than 2/3.
-The Dark Pulse missed Kadan completely.
Next Round:
-Rarity attacks
-Phantom attacks
-I ref.
