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?

I'm ready to start reffing again, so I'll take Sage Noctowl vs Ultraviolet.

Gone with the wind, perhaps to a happier place.
Okay, I'm almost certain that I still have one battle slot left, considering I only have two battles on and one awaiting ref (that hasn't been put onto the right list yet), so this is for Steele.

Arena: Lake of Rage
To some, this place is known as Lake of Rage. To others, it may rest in their minds as Gyarados Lake. And to others still, this legendary Johto landmark is known as “OMG SHINY”. No matter what the name, there is no denying this place is incredible. For those veteran enough, it is likely here where you first captured a strangely coloured pokemon. Actually, even if you're not veteran, that still remains true. Seriously, one in like 8000? wtf?
Anyway, I'm not here to rant about how rare shinies are. I'm here to explain this arena. Lake of Rage is a large lake, largest in Johto, that was supposedly created when many Gyarados congregated, causing a giant storm. Today, it is but a body of water, a little north of the quiet town known as Mahogany. The lake itself has the highest recorded rainfall of any Johto location, it being rainy every single day, except Wednesday. Why the skys are only clear on Wednesday is a mystery. However, being so rainy, it is natural to assume this lake would flood. And it does. Whenever it is raining, the lake will flood to almost double its original size, forcing the shrubs towards the bank to be completely flooded. Very few people live near the Lake of Rage, however it is rumoured one hermit does live across the lake, sheltered by trees, too far for the flood to reach him.
Arena effects:
All pokemon with names beginning in 'Magikar' and ending with the letter 'p' gain the move Metronome. It is the only move legal, and bypasses the above rule saying all moves are banned. Only pokemon that meet the above criteria are allowed to be sent out. Any other pokemon that are sent out will spontaneously explode. This does not use up the 1 pokemon allowed rule.
Whenever the round number is divisible by 7, the lake will unflood, showing its actual form. There is a 40% chance that a participant (Magikarp) will be too far from its centre, be be stranded for the round as it uselessly flops about.
There is a 15% every round that a remnant Gyarados of the Team Rocket scheme will interupt the battle to use Hyper Beam off a pathetic 65 base Special Attack, doing 1% damage to both participants. Trainers and the referee must also facepalm.
If the above happens, there is a 88% chance that a Gyarados (also a remnant) who knows what its doing will appear to laugh at the Hyper Beam Gyarados, and show what real Gyarados do by using Waterfall on one of the Magikarp in the lake. This does 7% damage, and carries the flinch chance that normal Waterfall carries.
There is a chance 2% that Lance, the Dragon Master and Ex-Champion of Johto will show up to check for any signs of a relapse since the Team Rocket scheme, and will laugh when he sees two trainer owned Magikarp fighting. This serves no purpose to the battle.
(I put so much unnecessary crap there.)
Get ready...for the ultimate duel of the ages.

Arena: The Galactic Cock - Aboard the Sol space station in orbit
Finally legally banned from any facility which serves alcohol down on terra, the drunken duo find themselves at a loss for the location of their inbibed escapades. Of course, the sky's the limit for these two~ And with a healthy dose of applied phlebotinum, the two trainers have managed to make their way to the orbital space station (which totally exists, the government is holding out on you) and found themselves a nice little dive that doesn't seem too interested in the news from the ground. Actually, it's a little TOO nice, what with all the neon, and chrome, and scantily clad space-dudes in vinyl future-duds looking a bit repulsed at the two girl's presence... (Must be something about being ground-dwellers, hm?) So what kind of battlefield is this?
Well, apparently when two trainers get drunk they find it to be a good idea to get their Pokémon drunk, as well, no matter where they may be. Noone really knows why, but it's probably in a similar vein to beer goggles. Of course, neither trainer is in much of a state to issue commands, and their Pokémon will soon be in no state to listen.
Upon being chosen each Pokémon is served gratuitous amounts of alcohol and set off on their way to have a go at each other.. if they can stay on their feet. The barkeep seems concerned for a change, but is sort of just keeping his distance as if to say 'take what you want a leave, you space-rabble'.
Moves are selected completely random, similar to Metronome, from the Pokémon's available move pool. Any move may be used, included OHKO's, however should they hit they cannot break the damage cap and will deal an instant 50% tops.
Both Pokémon being lit off their arses will have an inflated ego and a boosted pain tolerance; essentially giving them both 150% HP and letting them go longer.
The bar is full of flashy and amusingly destructible objects, as well; and arena damage will become apparent. Apparently, the barkeep doesn't seem to take into consideration supernatural powers. Hopefully soon he will~
In this state the competitors will be less than capable of holding a steady battle. Every action there is a 5% chance of either Pokémon falling victim to temporary negative effects. There is an equal chance of one of four actions happened:
Falling asleep: The Pokémon will completely nod out, lowering both its defences by 3 stages until awoken and waking up after either 3 actions or after being struck by an offensive move.
Vomiting: The Pokémon will empty its stomach.. all over their opponent's face. This will totally gross their opponent out, and lower their defences by 3 stages for 3 actions.
Falling over: The Pokémon will completely lose its balance and fall right on its arse, causing them to lose that action and be inflicted with mild confusion.
Punchdrunk Swing: The Pokémon will forgo its supernatural powers in favour of slugging their opponent in the face. This will deal 5% untyped damage at 70% accuracy.
In addition, there is a 50% chance every round that 'someone' will fiddle with the gravity controls, causing the battle to become Zero-G (Or revert to normal gravity if it already is) and having these effects:
Everything, and everyone will be unbound to the floor. Unless the competitor has something to propel themselves off of (if they're even in the state of mind to do so...) or are otherwise latched onto their opponent already, contact moves will fail. (Note that ghosts and other gravity defying levitators will be too drunk to release they can probably move freely, anyway, and so are still prone to this.)
There is a 20% chance of drunkenly smashing into someone, or something, with no ways to reasonably navigate even while sober. Having this occur deals 3% untyped damage and cancels the move for that action.
On the other hand, there's a 5% chance of (some how) catching a flying bottle of space-booze midair. It may be a bit hard to consume without gravity, but it will restore 5% health or energy (an equal chance for either) on that action instead of a move.
And of course, as if keeping their stomachs contained wasn't hard enough on the ground, the spinny crashy shininess of Zero-G will cause either competitor to vomit at a 20% chance - filling the air with flying spew, and lowering both the defences of both competitors by -1 per occurrence. (Up to -6) This effect is cancelled when the gravity in switched back on and everything falls back to the floor.
And finally, when gravity is switched back on at the start of a round, both competitors will take 5% untyped falling/gracelessly crashing damage. (Does not cost an action.)
