There existed a bizarre platform: a vortex of red, yellow, and green surrounded a bubble of blue, with three smaller platforms forming an isosceles trinangle. Three men stood within the bubble of blue; two Trainers sizing each other up, and one Referee carrying blue and red flags. The referee motioned for the other two to step back onto floating platforms on the edges of the first, which he did as well.
"Galladiator, select your first Pokemon, and let the battle begin!"
