Its ok. We wont bite. :)
Me and Albinoloon still need a ref though :o

Arena: The Journey Begins
Remember the first battle in BW cartridge with your rival? This battle will be, similarly, inside a small 2-story house. Dig can be used, but if used on the second floor, will do no damage and force the user onto the first floor. On the first floor, it can be used normally. There is a staircase connecting the first and second floor. Whoever takes the high ground (second floor) and attacks a mon on the low ground (first floor) will have +2 base power added to offensive moves, and flat +20% accuracy addition to non-damaging moves.
Because this is a small house, ‘mons in size class 6 or 7 cannot be sent out, while ‘mons in size class 4 or 5 will receive a -10 penalty in speed, and flat +10% accuracy to any attacks directed at them. If a ‘mon of weight class 7 or higher is sent out on the second floor, the floor will break (unless the Pokémon can levitate), dealing 10 HP damage and sending it to the first floor. The battle will start on the second floor.
No weather, limited ceiling, no seismic attacks, no outside water source.
Thunder, Draco Meteor, etc. (attacks that require an open ceiling) are not allowed.

I will obviously use FE Grounds.
Arena: Terra Cage
Field Type: Ground
Complexity: Moderate
Format: All
Restrictions: All Weather moves bar Sandstorm will fail, No Water Source, no Natural Grass, Limited ceiling
Description: Terra Cage is a rough, indoor, desolate place that despite its hard, rocky surface, can be dug into. It is about 50x50m in length & width, & it is 30m high. The main mechanic here that gives Ground Types an advantage here is that when Sandstorm is used, it randomly fuses itself with the mud that can be found in some places around the arena, & the Sandstorm turns into a Mudstorm.
During a Mudstorm, at the end of every action, anything that isn't a Ground Type takes 3 Damage, +/- 1 for each time they are weak to/resist Ground (Flying & Levitiate is considered Neutral, Pokemon with Overcoat/Magic Guard don't take any damage). In addition, all non-Ground Type moves used by non-Ground Type Pokemon have a flat 15% reduction in Accuracy. Any Ground-Type Pokemon that would benefit from Sandstorm through Typing, Abilities, etc. Will receive the same benefits in a Mudstorm.
Summary: Anything mentioned in the Restrictions, plus Sandstorm will turn into a Mudstorm when used.

Arena: Forest of Silence
Field Type: Psychic
Complexity: Intense
Format: N/A
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Image
Within the Forest of Silence, there is no sound. In fact, it seems time -- and thus motion -- has stopped completely, as everything is coated in a grey pallor, and leaves pause halfway down to the ground, perhaps to ask directions. It has become a regular haunt for trainers over the years, hoping that their exciting battles will set time in motion yet again, allowing the forest to continue in its natural cycle. That includes that natural cycle of the wildlife too, who haven't been able to relieve themselves for almost a decade now.
However, even the shortest amount of exposure to the forest will begin to freeze the Pokémon -- they will never become fully immobilised, but from the very start of the battle their attacks will become... hm... somewhat unreliable. The Pokémon must focus their minds, needing extra effort to launch an attack successfully. Naturally, Psychic Pokémon are more able at this task, though once some Pokémon get a whiff (or, in some rather strange cases, a taste) of their opponents, they will find it much easier to focus on the battle at hand. These such Pokémon must hit the opponent with a contact attack, or be hit in the same manner, for their primal instincts to activate.
The battle takes place in a clearing, which is open to the heavily-overcast sky (it is Britain, after all). This doesn't mean, however, that one couldn't alter that. In fact, please do -- it's a little chilly. Nature will behave as usual, but don't expect it to go anywhere while you aren't looking. Well, apart from that one time... Err, anyway, apart from that instance, trees cannot be toppled. They can, however, be burned to the ground and climbed. Unfortunately, there is no water around, save for the small amount present in the loamy ground.

Mechanics
- Strict Soundproofing (EG, no Growl.)
- Pokémon begin to be frozen, causing a 40% [flat] drop in accuracy. Psychic Pokémon, and those listed below, can focus and increase the accuracy of their moves back to their original standard by 20% for 1 extra en. Other Pokémon can increase their accuracy by 10% for 1 extra en. These boosts stack (E.G., you can add 40% for 4 EN).
- Smelling and tasting Pokémon must hit -- or be hit -- with a contact attack before the extra EN reduction takes place.
- Focus Punch's accuracy is unchanged by the arena.
- The Dodge chances of all non-Psychic Pokémon not listed below are halved.
- There is a 1/1,000,000 chance of a tree falling, dealing Wood Hammer damage to one Pokémon (decided by RNG). All of the effects listed above are then nulled. Only a tree that falls in this manner will cause this effect.

Arena: Indiana Scout Camp
Welcome to Indiana, land of troll weather. Here, weather is brief but insanely powerful.
Rain: lasts three rounds, Creates a Thunderstorm with a 25% chance of striking a Pokemon at the end of a round. It will do the following damage based on what it strikes and it's weakness to electric attacks:
Immune: zero
4x resist: 5 damage
2x resist: 10 damage
Neutral: 15 damage
2x weak: 20 damage
4x weak: 25 damage
8x weak (theoretically possible): 30 damage
Sun: Outside of fire types, the heat will exhaust quickly. Every attack will use three more energy, and chills only restore half as much. Only lasts three rounds.
Sand: Lasts three rounds. Blocks out sight enough that all non-sand immune Pokemon have a 20% accuracy reduction.
Hail: Lasts three rounds. All non-Ice Types move at one half the speed.
Tailwind's effect is doubled and it's duration halved.
Permanent weather is still permanent.
The only other thing to note is that the field is full of dense brush that will slightly restrict movement for those unused to dealing with it.

Welcome to Opaline City, the capital of technology and luxury in the ASB region! Known as the city of luxury, Opaline is an extremely popular tourist destination and houses a plethora of recreational activities. The most of famous of these are wind-surfing and skydiving, whose popularity spurred the construction of several vertical wind tunnels throughout the metropolis. Thus, it makes sense that the city's gym utilize this technology.
Combatants battle in a large, upright steel tunnel. The uppermost end of the tunnel is open, allowing a generous amount of sunlight to brighten the construct's interior. All around the tunnel's sides, are large fans and A/C units; the largest of the fans is actually underneath the heavy-duty grating that serves as the floor. All except the large underground fan are constantly blowing, keeping the air at at a warm temperature and blowing around smaller Pokemon. At a designated point in time, the underground fan will begin to blow, forcing the battlers into a state of free-fall. Needless to say, this change severely hinders Pokemon not used to moving in the air.
Arena Effects:
-The constantly blowing winds and warm air make Sandstorms and Hail impossible to maintain or summon. Sun and Rain can still be called, though.
-The multitude of A/C and fan units make lowering the temperature of the arena difficult, Ice attacks' BAP are lowered by 2. Fire attacks are unaffected.
-The wind from the side fans affects the coordination of light, grounded Pokemon. Terrestrial Pokemon WC <2 have Accuracy and Evasion lowered by a flat 10%.
-Every 3 rounds, the the large underground fan will begin to blow, forcing all Pokemon into the air. During this time, any terrestrial Pokemon will suffer a flat 10% loss of Accuracy and Evasion and their Evasive Actions will all fail. This effect lasts for 2 rounds. Afterwards, the arena will return to normal for another 3 rounds.
-Aquatic/Amphibeous Pokemon only have a 5% decrease to Accuracy and Evasion and their Evasive Actions will be half as successful. This is due to the similarity between moving in air in water.
Terrestrial= Non-Flying Pokemon without the Levitate trait, Levitate command that cannot use Fly.
Evasive Actions= Dodges, Agility used evasively, Bodyblock and Detect
Aquatic/Amphibeous= Water Pokemon, Pokemon with Swift Swim,Pokemon that can use Surf and anything that has flavor text that indicates its proficiency swimming. The Toxicroak line and Eelektross line are also included for obvious reasons (their physiology indicates aquadynamic efficiency).
