Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

2 vs 2 Set Single
DQ Time: 4 Days
Damage Cap: 34%
Banned Moves: Dig, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Sand Tomb, anything that requires external sources (eg Surf), Weather Moves, OHKO's, Attract, Chills
Banned Pokemon: Anything that won't easily fit in the arena
Arena: The Castle Oubliette
The oubliette is a tiny, cramped room sunk into the floor, buried far beneath even the castle's foundations. It's about six feet wide, eight feet long and eight feet high, so only small- to medium-sized Pokémon can fit inside. The entire room is made of heavy, indestructible stone--none of it can be dislodged or moved for things like Rock Slide or Dig, and there's nothing to shake if Earthquake is used. There is also no water or sand or anything like that available for use in moves like Surf or Sand Tomb, and all weather moves will fail because the sky is completely inaccessible. There are no doors or windows, the only way in and out being the long, slick and narrow tunnel leading up about 30 feet up to the dungeon above. (And the steel trap door is locked from the outside.) The only light comes from a single torch, flickering weakly in the room's north wall; the arena is quite dim already, so I would advise against putting it out unless you want to risk bumping into stone walls in total darkness.
And good luck dodging attacks, flying around or building up speed--the tight, uncomfortable space makes anything more than hopping around and swinging some moderate punches understandably difficult. Anything larger than a Pichu is going to need to rethink the range and execution of many its attacks. Only one way in, no way out and no room to run away... can you survive a battle in the oubliette with your sanity intact?
(Since Kratos's arenas are always so much fun)

...In the future, it's probably best to leave such trivial matters out of the thread so that they can't clog it.
Anyhow, I figured I'll just put my challange and the acceptant all in a single post, for convenience's sake on the referee's part.

Could be because you got DQed in the last battle you were in? That puts me off a bit at least.

Yay for more complex battles!
3v3 Single
Style: Switch
DQ: 6 days
Damage Cap: rand(25,50);
Banned Moves: OHKO's, weather moves
Arena: The Nether
The Nether is a vast, fully sentient abyss of nothingness, designed to wreak havoc on anyone or anything inside of it. Naturally, this is not the most ideal place to have a battle, but the residents of Asber have never been those who would back down from a challenge. The actual battle takes place on a floating platform, identical to those found in Pokémon centers, with normal gravity and temporal mechanics, as well as reinforced walls to prevent any Pokémon from falling off. However, the Nether still has a say, and at the beginning of the first round, as well as the end of every round, one of the following effects will occur:
1. The Nether will open up a rift in space-time, summoning the effects of a Pokemon's arena effects. Each of these (Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Sandstorm, Hail, Gravity, Trick Room, Magic Room, Wonder Room) counts as its own effect, and thus can stack with each other. (5% chance for each effect)
2. The Nether will take pity on a random battler, curing all their status conditions and preventing them from gaining any other status conditions. When this effect fades, all status conditions purged by this effect return; however, a Pokémon can use restorative moves during the period where their statuses are removed to prevent them from returning. This can affect both battlers without an overlap. (10% chance)
3. The Nether will bend the forces of space-time around one of the Pokémon in the arena, allowing them to attack instantly and prevent their opponent from dodging. While this is in effect, the targeted Pokémon has perfect accuracy for all damaging moves. This can affect both battlers without an overlap. (10% chance)
4. The Nether will adjust its own laws, changing the amount of damage a Pokémon is able to deal before it interferes. When this is selected, the damage cap is rerolled; this does not remove other effects when it is selected, and stays in effect until a new damage cap is chosen. (20% chance)
5. The Nether will change the space around the arena, replacing the battlers with each other. Each Pokémon will transform into an exact duplicate of its opponent, but will keep its own status changes and stat boosts. If a Pokémon faints while this is under effect, this effect will disappear. If this is selected while it is already in effect, the two Pokémon simply transform back into their original forms - the other effects stay in place. (10% chance)
6. The Nether will lose control on the arena, resetting any of its effects. (10% chance)
Other: The damage cap is generated at the beginning of the first round, and does not change unless effect 4 is chosen. Have fun.

Arena: Doctor Kaminko's Experimental Arena No. 33
Kam and Metallica Fanboy have battled in a sticky hole, a volcano, and at a Metallica gig, and in hopes of finding something even more extreme, they asked Doctor Kaminko to lend them one of his wacky arenas.
This arena is an interesting one with some highly experimental technology. There are two very deep pools in the arena; one on the floor, and one on... the ceiling?
Yes, a pool on the ceiling. About twenty meters above the floor, there's a large, upside down pool, held up by a powerful antigravity device.
What makes this arena more special, though, is that all the Pokemon on the arena are outfitted with a Gravotron 9000, a little device that allows it to change its internal gravity at will. During their command chain, a Pokemon may be commanded to "flip". Flipping can be used to dive-bomb your opponent, and will prevent you from attacking on an action unless used with a contact move (ie Headbutt).
If one Pokemon is in the top pool and another is in the bottom pool, their projectile attacks are unlikely to hit; they have roughly a 50% chance of hitting each other with projectiles.
In addition to this, several bizarre things might go on in the arena--
a) The Pokemon's Gravotron 9000 will malfunction and cause them to flip gravity that action. There is a 5% chance this will happen to either Pokemon each action.
b) Dangermouse and Safetymouse will randomly pop out of the pools and stab bother Pokemon, having the effect of a Poison Jab on both of the battlers. There is a 10% chance of this happening every round.
c) Stunfisk will swarm the pools, causing 2% electric damage every action. This will happen automatically some time between rounds six and ten.
d) The antigravity device will sputter out and explode, blowing up the whole arena and killing both Pokemon. There is a 1% chance of this happening every round.
Other notes:
Kam's Fudgie and MF's Warfare are the only Pokémon that may be used; they may be withdrawn from their reserves if they are not in their active squads.
The person who commands first starts on the ceiling.
