Arena Description: Asber Courtroom No. 6
The Supreme Court of Asber doesn't see much actual judicial use, as personal disputes tend to be solved the Asberian way. That is to say, by having a Pokemon battle and inevitably destroying someone's house with meteors. At any rate, the Supreme Court usually only deals with the most serious of cases, those rare few disputes that cannot be solved by pitting one's pets against each other and letting divine justice decide the victor, but today, the Supreme Court (Rm. #6) is going to be used for a special trial meant to determine who is right in the
real way.
The referee fights her way past the security guards at the front of the courthouse, showing her (very convincing, but very cardboard) badge to anyone who will look at it. It takes a bit of bribery and some threats before she can make it past the guard outside the door to the judge's platform, and into the main courtroom itself. The noise level in the room drops perceptibly, and the referee wonders a bit too late, if she should have worn a black robe as part of her disguise, instead of her street clothes.
..It must not be all that important, as Vipera Magnifica and Zekrom_B0lt, down at the prosecutor and defense attorney benches, don't seem dressed the part, either. The referee shrugs and swaps her flags for the gavel at the judge's bench, and tries to remember how this part goes in video games and crime procedural TV shows.
"Order, order. Order! Uh, right. The court has convened here today to.. something.. something something a trial by combat between these two Trainers, may the Random Number Gods favour the better Trainer and such. ...Uh, you know what, just send out your Pokemon." Low murmuring in the gallery. Maybe coming up to the judge's seat wasn't the best idea in hindsight, but the referee's butchering of judicial procedure seems to have done the trick anyways. VM goes ahead and sends out Master Belch the Goomy (
Prosecutor Belch, says the cardboard badge stuck onto his side), while Zekrom_B0lt sends out T-Bolt the Pichu, proudly showing off his hard-won, cardboard attorney's badge. Everyone takes a moment to praise themselves on their cardboard crafting skills, and then the referee brings down the gavel to start the battle.

Charm ~ Double Team ~ Disarming Voice
T-Bolt gets right to work showing off his fancy defense attorney superpowers, sparking wildly from his cheek pouches and smiling cheerfully up at the audience. Belch hesitates as the crowd is taken in by his opponent's charm, and a murmur goes through the room. They've seen lawyers with magic lie-spotting powers, but this one is just so much
cuter than the others! Belch makes a face and does his best to ignore them, and is about to say something cutting in response when he realizes he doesn't really have the words for that. Belch is shaking now, trying to come up with a good zinger to really make T-Bolt mad, but it just isn't in his nature to be so.. rude.
As far as T-Bolt can tell, Belch is just.. standing there with a weird look on his face, not doing anything. The Pichu shrugs and takes off running around the courtroom, trailing afterimages in his wake. As he screeches to a stop, three false Pichus stop with him, mirroring his every move. This seems to inspire Prosecutor Belch, who starts to spit up slime until there is a faint puddle of goop on the floor in front of him. With a quick huff, Belch breathes life into the odd liquid until it gathers itself together to form a rough approximation of a Goomy.
T-Bolt doesn't seem to appreciate being copied. He pouts, and then wails at the top of his lungs. The people sitting the gallery aww loudly, and Belch makes another face behind his deaf, slimy Substitute. T-Bolt is so cute it's literally painful, and it's annoying! Everyone is supposed to like the prosecutor, not the defense attorney. What kind of a sham trial is this?
Belch decides to win everyone back with some good old fashioned lawyering, and opens up the Court Record to present some evidence. He pulls out a Lucky Egg and lobs it at T-Bolt, with a shout, then goes completely still as the evidence passes right through one of the clones instead. The egg splatters open on the defense's bench behind T-Bolt, and the gallery starts muttering once again. Did you see that prosecutor's aim? Hmm.. Not so hot. Belch goes pale with embarrassment as the referee bangs the gavel to get everyone to settle down, and to end the round.

-Let's see how long I can stick to keeping this battle super Ace Attorney themed pffff
-Belch did nothing on the first action.
-T-Bolt's Double Team created 3 clones.
-T-Bolt's Disarming Voice hit through Belch's Substitute.
-I assume Pokemon can present evidence more than once, and damage is based on a random item and not their actual held item, right? In any case, Belch threw a/his Lucky Egg on the third action. The presented evidence had 70 BP and cost 4% energy, but hit a clone.
-VM commands first.
