Brandon sat in the seats of the ASB Arena, idly waiting for two of his fellow trainers to show up. They had invited him to come and watch their training match and he had agreed since he didn't have anything planned. Before long, the first of the two showed up. Lou was a veteran of ASB, and a potential future Gym leader. Not long after, Leethoof joined him in the arena. No slouch himself, Leethoof had just opened the Rock Gym, Monolith Hall, and he had also been around for a while. Brandon knew he was in for a good match. The rules were simple, but the match would be anything but.

In response, Lou grabbed a Pokeball of his own, and a second red flash appeared. When the light disappeared, it revealed...
...a Feebas!?
Brandon was flummoxed momentarily, wondering why in the world Lou would bring such a weak Pokemon to a fight like this. However, a closer look revealed that this Feebas, as ugly as its species normally is, was somehow surprisingly beautiful and well-groomed. Brandon mused, and thought to himself, "Well, they say inside every ugly duckling is a beautiful swan waiting to emerge."

Bravely adventuring forth from the spawning pool, Grandeur caught the eye of a trainer by acting to her name, dislodging peers from rocks in the streambed and the like. Lifted from the stream barehanded, exhausted from rendering assistance, she now seeks to provide the same manner of assistance to a battling trainer's team.
However, not long after Grandeur hit the field, she started to glow a bright white! Before long the beautiful swan had emerged in the form of an evolution to Milotic! "Well, now this matchup will be interesting!" Brandon thought to himself as he reviewed the newly-evolved Pokemon's stats.

Grandeur is a matronly figure within a battling team, nurturing and protecting allies. That is not to say that she is without teeth, figuratively. Just as she did in the spawning stream, she disposes of foes that would do harm to those around her with efficiency and sternness.
Breaking him out of his study, Lou called up to him, "Hey Brandon, mind flipping a coin to see who orders first?"
"Sure, no problem!" Brandon pulled a loonie out of his pocket. "Heads says Lou orders first, tails says Leet!" he called back to the trainers in the arena. He flipped the coin...
-> RNG roll to see who orders first (1=Lou, 2=Leet) -> 2 (Leet)
..."Tails! Leet, looks like you're up first!" Leet grumbled while Lou smirked smugly, and the two took their places at opposite ends of the arena while their Pokemon eyed each other warily. Brandon had a quick thought and released a Pokemon of his own from its Pokeball; his Numel, Lavastrike. "Alright Lavastrike, how about we watch these two go at it? Maybe we'll learn something new!" The Numel nodded happily and the two settled in, ready to watch the battle.
Leethoof, you're up!
Leethoof was the first to grab a Pokeball, and in a flash of red light his Stunfisk, Muddruckers, appeared. Stunfisk was a... weird Pokemon, to put it bluntly, but Brandon knew that it could still be dangerous in the right hands. He wondered just what Leethoof would do to make the most of Stunfisk's unique typing and skill set.Rules said:
