Hey, look at that! This battle actually takes place somewhere that exists in the Pokemon world! This is the first time that's happened to me! Oh, where are we, you ask? In the Castelia City Marketplace! All kinds of goods are sold here: Casteliacones, berries, toys, and Ancient Song move tutors! (No, wait, that's the other side of town.) And what could be better than a heated battle here in the midmorning sun? Free RC, that's what! But you can't buy that here...
Approaching from opposite sides of the clearing in the crowd are [/QUOTE] and *pretend there's an albino Drifloon here*. They look ready to battle, so I should probably move away from the center of the arena if I want to keep reffing...That's better. From this new angle, I can see that some of the berry vendors are holding berries and lookingmenacingly excitedly at the participants. I'm getting the feeling that berries are going to be flung today.
Before we let these two have at it, here's a rundown of all the important things regarding this arena:

Before we let these two have at it, here's a rundown of all the important things regarding this arena:
This joyous and active arena is ripe with people, and berries! Trade passes naturally along the streets connecting this commercial cacophony. Berries, food, clothes, toys, all products exchange hands here in the market. The floor is asphalt, almost impossible to dig in and hard on the skin. The market is bustling right now, the midmorning light awakening both sellers and shoppers alike! They've been kind enough to clear a decently large circle for your battle, with a 30 foot diameter. Spectators are lined up along the sides to watch, and maybe even provide some support with berries or other goods!
Summary: Asphalt floor is almost impossible to dig into, and if a Pokemon makes any contact on the floor that would involve scraping it's skin across it takes an extra 2 HP loss. There's a 20% chance each round that a spectator will throw a berry at one participant, which they can use to their advantage. The berries are (Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst, Aspear, Leppa, or Oran, choice of which is random) No water nearby, and the time is midmorning.
