*pant pant* "Did we get away from them?"
"Yeah I think so..."
"Thank goodness...what's with those fairies anyways?"
"I think they were upset that you went TWO WEEKS over the disqualifying time."
"Well yeah but I thought it was Emma's fairies that had the battleaxes!"
"Where do you think he got them from? At any rate, you'd save us all a lot of trouble if you just REFFED ON TIME!"
"I can ref on time, I've just been lazy..."
"THEN PROVE IT!"
"FINE!"
One week later.
"Oh this might've been a horrible idea."
"What do you mean, this place is awesome."
"To you maybe...now let's see here." *knocks*
"Go Away!"
"No wait I'm here to ref the gym match!"
"Oh you must be referring to the master's new hobby. Come"
I followed him to a rather dismal room in the manor, then set up my cameras
"Hello everyone! Welcome to this match between---" *cuts off*
"Oh for the love of, I thought we got this thing fixed."
"Well leaving it on for two weeks straight will do that to you."
"Oh can it!"
A Few minutes later
"Ah sorry for the technical issues. As I was saying, we have here a match between deadfox and Rediamond, a high profile match to be sure, let's go over the rules!"
"Hmm, interesting arena. Let's hope it works out for the leader here. The Leader, Rediamond has had a string of bad luck recently, having ownership of a gym that can't really do a whole lot against it's weaknesses. That said, he is a competent battler and a budding fan fic writer (which might explain his choice of venue), so certainly not a leader to trifle with! Keep an eye out for Corpus the Heracross, with a stupidly powerful Mega Form, and the fact that he matches well against 2 out of deadfox's 4 Pokemon (even Dragonite will have trouble with him) he may be the leader's key to victory."The Rules said:Arachne Manor
4 v 4 Gym Singles (deadfox)
3 Day DQ (3 violations allowed either side. At that point challenger may be DQ'd or Leader may be DQ'd if potentially at a disadvantage in HP percentage. Posts beforehand in LoA can negate this.)
12 Chills/4 Recovers per team (deadfox) | 15 Chills/5 Recovers per team (Birkal)
Switch=KO
Items=ON
Mega Evolutions=1 (deadfox) | 2 (Birkal)
Abilities=All
Deep in the heart of Viridian Forest a strange mansion dwells among the trees. It is an old manor of gray bricks; the home easily predates the first revolution. Only a handful of servants live in the recmote manor to tend to its equally reclusive but very wealthy lord.
Who is he? I wouldn't ask. He can get rather touchy about personal matters.
He spends most of his days alone, gazing at his collection. Tauros heads are mounted on plaques. A flock of stuffed Farfetch'd hang from the ceiling. A Scyther's body stands poised to strike at any unsuspecting foes, his lifeless eyes finally fitting. He worked long and hard for this collection. It was a welcome distraction from his work.
What did he do? I wouldn't ask. He can get rather touchy about personal matters.
But deep inside the home lies a room that seems out of place. It is an extremely high tech greenhouse complete with weather modification abilities. Toxic plants hang throughout as swarms of smaller bugs eat from their bark unaffected. Insects are remarkably resilient creatures. A tropical rain constantly pours down from above but the insects don't seem to mind. It is soothing and cooling in the room.
And he does not battle with actual insects. Just his Pokemon. The most prized members of his collection.
Mechanics:
-Permanent Rain that can only be changed by weather stones for a length of 3r. At the end of the stone's effect, if it is not renewed, the weather goes back to rain.
-So long as rain is up, the attack drop from Burn does not apply
-Moves with the word "poison" in their name gain 3 base power
-4x weaknesses deal x2 damage, 8x weaknesses deal x2.5 damage
-SolarBeam, Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight work as if the weather is clear if it is raining.
Leader Rediamond:

Fire STAB; immune to burn, emit a low glow in dark places, takes additional damage if active open flames are exposed to a water attack. Superior senses in volcanic or brushfire areas.

"Our challenger is also quite the accomplished battler, deadfox081. He's one of the best raiders in the entirety of ASB and has a decent tournament record besides! Rediamond had better watch out for him, and for Woosh the Tomohawk which between it's typing and Prankster boosted moves can be quite the handful for Rediamond to deal with."
