Hello, and welcome to today's game of Pokemon Chess. On a giant chessboard in the middle of nowhere, two skilled battlers have gathered to participate in the real gentleman's sport. Deck Knight, Smogon's most renowned chess player, asked for a challenge; what he got was an acceptance from TravelLog, Smogon's most renowned log of travel. A two-day timer has been set up on both sides, and now we are ready to begin.

Next, the arena summary:
Arena: Pokemon Chess Board
Open Field: An opposing trainer may send any of their Pokemon onto an Open Field. The initial trainer's Pokemon are all selected beforehand.
The Pokemon Chess Board is an intricate arena, the effects of which change based on the Pokemon used. It is set on an artificial field consisting of alternating 8x8 black and white squares about 5 square feet each. All Attacks can be utilized, as the chess board will create any necessary element for the attack. Be warned that effects will disappear after each action and will have to generated from scratch, so the arena for example cannot be flooded out, even if Rain is summoned. Weathers still last their full duration and have all their other battle effects.
The Arena benefits or handicaps players based on the Pokemon they select in the following ways:

- If a player's active Pokemon share like weaknesses, all of the shared weaknesses of that player's active Pokemon will be reduced to 2x, regardless of their ordinary severity.
- If a player's active Pokemon share like STABs, the STAB bonus of that STAB is increased by 1.
- If a player's active Pokemon share like Attacks, the Base Attack Power of those shared attacks is increased by 1.
