About: Aside from her physical difference betwen other Vanilish (wich Bosco described as ''delicious looking''), Fiona is a highly timid and modest pokemon, refusing to show off no matter what.

Arena: Gentlemans Ballroom

This is a grand room that spans over three hundred feet all across in a circle. The ground is made of a solid marble, making digging impossible(also who would trash a classy mans floor) in the very center, the lord of this house has installed a 50 ft across and 50 ft deep pool of crystal clear water(drinking it might even heal you a bit). The outside of the circle is rimmed in black marble pillars and a bit beyond that are extremly tall windows showing a beautiful courtyard. Now to keep things interesting, the lord(ref) may ask the combatants to prefor different feats of skill, or suffer his displeasure.

The Royal Guard sends out Pokemon and equips items (if any)
Matezoid sends out and equips items (if any) then orders attacks
The Royal Guard responds

The combatants stand in the Gentleman's Ballroom, a distinct arena from the Gentleman's Bathroom. They prepare for battle. The Gentleman is most amused at all the glaring, long before any battling starts. You have to wonder though, who would open up their house to being destroyed by random strangers? Oh well!

The Pokemon will start in a neutral zone equidistant from the Courtyard Windows and the Pool, within the circle of black pillars, parallel to each direction. Since the arena is indoors, weather moves will only affect the outside.

BEGIN ROUND ONE:

NARRATIVE:

The Pokemon take their positions in the ballroom and prepare for battle. Dizzy tries to ambush Kethzyal with a Sucker Punch, but instead of attacking Kethzyal begins with a defensive action, rushing into the pool and Diving beneath the surface, expending its energy to stay there. Dizzy summarily falls on its face. Max expends his energy creating a swirling wind that enhances the speed of Matezoid's team, a very gentlemanly thing to do. Vonlafera copies its trainers Glare, paralyzing Dizzy.

With its increased speed, Max jumps the gun in firing a Bug Buzz at Kethzyal. Although the sound does carry through water, Kethzyal's depth causes it to dissipate before doing damage. Kethzyal then emerges from the water and fires an Ice Beam at Dizzy, damaging its foe with no other ill effects. Vonlafera uses its opportunity to bash Dizzy with an Iron Tail, and the hit is so strong that Dizzy staggers and loses defense. Dizzy decides to go on a rampage and Thrashs around, striking the Pokemon that hit it last, Vonlafera with immense damage.

With its opponent out in the open, Max launches an Energy Ball and strikes Kethzyal for a significant amount of damage. Kethzyal remains focused on Dizzy and fires a consecutive Ice Beam, which drains its energy more than its last attack. Vonlafera, angry at just being smashed by an errant panda, Taunts his foe. Though angered by such an uncouth move in a place as grand as the Gentleman's ballroom, you can't really tell because of Dizzy's continued manic frenzy, which happens to strike Vonlafera a second time with another bone-crunching hit.

The lord of the manor introduces a challenge for the second round. Outside the windows is an extension of the arena into a courtyard. From the current poolside position it will take an action to get close enough to the windows to break them, and a targeted attack to smash through them (Windows do not require an accuracy check). The windows are only susceptible to physical attacks, and require 10 BAP total to break. The courtyard extension does allow weather moves to have their full effects, but you should beware meeting the Groundskeeper if you stay too long. There should still be some supplies gathered out there. Because of how deep the pool is inside the Ballroom atrium, weather moves will not reach it even if the windows are broken.

SUMMARY:


END ROUND ONE
