Arena: Japanese Zen Garden
The Japanese Zen Garden is a very simple garden designed to instill a sense of serenity and calmness into a person's being. The Garden is designed in a circular way. Around the circle, there is a ring of water three feet wide that goes around the entirety of the circle. In the middle of the circle, there is a relatively shallow pond one foot in radius. There is a small channel in which water Pokemon can go from the pond to the outer ring.

The garden is split into four quadrants. The first quadrant has a zen garden, with rocks and sand raked into cool swirly patterns. There is also a strange rock formation in the middle of the barren-looking garden. For every attacking move used in this quadrant, there is a 5% chance that a Crustle will come out as the quadrant caretaker and fire off Rock Blast at the offender.

The second quadrant is the most natural out of any, and lush green grass grows all over the place. A couple tall oak trees grow within this quadrant, and they can be easily scaled due to the ridges and toughness of the bark. The branches are very sturdy, and the trees grow close enough such that leaping from tree to tree is plausible. All damaging attacks in this vicinity have a 5% chance of triggering the anger of Roserade, this quadrants caretaker. Roserade will use the powerful move Energy Ball should it come out.

The third quadrant is the most man-made one out of all the quadrants. It has a surface made of hard-packed dirt, and there are a couple slabs of marble that serve as rudimentary benches. The marble is light enough for strong Pokemon to lift it, but heavy enough to deal some damage to anyone that gets hit by this. There is also a garbage can in this quadrant that can also deal some damage (albeit slightly less). The caretaker of this quadrant is a human. Any attack that is issued has a 20% chance to summon the caretaker, who will proceed to hit the offender with his most powerful attack: Pound.

The last quadrant is the most stereotypical one. It appears to be in a perpetual state of autumn, and a collection of young Japanese maples mark the border of this quadrant. The yellow and red leaves fall as the match progresses, slowly covering up the ground, which is dirt with some patches of grass growing on it. It is not possible to climb onto the Japanese maples. Each attack issued will have a 5% chance of angering the caretaker, Xatu, who will come out and use Psychic on the offender.

No items
Switch=......KO

Was gonna say Okay, but the peer pressure is too great. Dx

EDIT: Wait, we have a gentlemen's agreement that we're using all unevolved Pokemon, yes? :0
EDIT: It is also my understanding that each quadrant is separated by a small stream of water leading from the outside ring of water to the center, is this correct? Or is the channel only in a specific location? Anyway I think we'll figure it out.

EDIT: yup

EDIT 2: yup

EDIT 3: ok
