1v1 Single
DQ: 7 Days
Style: Set
Banned Moves: OHKOs, Self-destruct moves like Explosion, Curse, Destiny Bond, Rain Dance
Damage Cap: None
Arena: Barren, Rocky Desert
Adding to the very diverse area that makes up Asber, there is a completely barren and rocky desert somewhere in its vast land. Within it, there is no water, and no clouds for miles, so any water attacks relying on any amount of water outside of the Pokemon's body will fail, as will Rain Dance and Thunder(since it relies on clouds to call down the electricity). Also, after 3 rounds(1 for water types, 2 for Water/Ground types), all of the battlers will begin to suffer from dehydration, causing 3% damage per action until they faint.
Other: I would prefer to battle somebody I have not battled before.

Ability: Static
Item: Thunderstone
Signature attribute: Nobody
Centuries ago, there was only light. But people squabbled and fought for the light, and became jealous and violent. And so the first darkness spread in their hearts, until it grew and grew, and became real, overcoming the light. But there is still a tiny spark, awaiting. Or so the legends go. The true origins of the Heartless, this darkness of old, may never be revealed. But one thing is known-they are attracted to those with hearts, seeking to reclaim them as their own. But, occasionally, when the heart they target is strong enough, when it goes, something remains. The soul and the body, sometimes, have the strength to carry on when the heart is gone. But make no mistake, they are not people. They have no heart, can feel no true emotion. Though they can use their memories to fool people into having that idea, can even fool themselves, they will always be incomplete.
Roxas is such a Nobody. His heart was so strong that instead of merely becoming a mindless drone, he has the title of number XIII of the Organization, a sinister group of Pokémon, who retain their memories, and are driven by an urge to seek hearts for their own. As a Nobody, the rules are somewhat...different for Roxas. He has been given a new element to play with-Light.
Effects: Since he is a Nobody, he has gained the ability to wield light as a weapon. It hangs around him, constantly helping him. After all calculations are done, Roxas deals 2% extra typeless damage, or 3% if he has attacked a Dark-typed Pokémon. This, however, also adds a flat 3% energy boost to all attacks he does. As a Nobody, he can feel no emotion, meaning that emotion-based attacks will always fail on him, whether they appeal to his sense of love, as in Attract, or fear, as in Mean Look or Intimidate. He can not, however, tolerate immature taunting, and is thus still vulnerable to Taunt. Moves that are emotion based but also do damage as an aside effect, such as Covet, will have the emotion based part fail but the damage part succeed. Whilst he can fake having emotion, he is very bad at it, and thus all emotion-based moves he uses are reduced to 10% accuracy from their original accuracy.
Signature move: Thirteen Beams
As a Nobody, Roxas has the power to wield light. He uses this in one very offensive and symbolic way-the Thirteen Beams attack. Roxas takes a second to take in the light, and then create thirteen powerful beams of concentrated light, first encircled around him, but soon they seek their foes with a vengeance, attacking and slicing them up, and occasionally blinding them.
Type: Normal ~ Base Power: 7% (10$ on Dark types) ~ Accuracy: 100% ~ Target: All Enemies
Effects: Roxas uses blades of light to attack. These lights have a 20% chance of lowering the accuracy of a target by -1. This move can strike Ghost Types despite being a normal-type attack. The typeless damage boost and the energy cost increase he gets from his signature ability does not apply to this move, due to it already channeling the power of light.
The amount of energy used for the attack is equal to the amount of damage dealt (7% normally, or 10% against dark-types). If the attack strikes multiple targets, the cost is instead a flat 9%.

[Lil' Sebastian] Girafarig (N)
Ability: Early Bird
Item: Leftovers
Signature attribute: Quick Hooves
Lil' was born small; girafarig are born funny looking, small with huge legs, but he was unusually so. He had to pick up running even faster than his species normally does, and took to it like a fish does to water - it was his way of surviving, running. He had to do it, because of his size, but he loved it, too. He ran circles around his friends, his smaller size helping him stay agile and zigzag around them where they had difficulty turning. He couldn't always outrun others, but he could always out maneuver them.
It was pretty clear, as he grew, that he was a tad different: not only his size, but him. He was a more defensive battler, preferring to dodge, because when hit it hurt - but he could always dodge.
Effects: Lil' has the ability Limber instead of his natural ability. He's also unusually small: this means he has a permanent -1 defense, and +1 speed; his stats will raise/lower until +7 rather than +6, meaning these cannot be gotten rid of. He also has a 5% chance of avoiding all contact moves used against him.
