Arena: Edge of Madness
This arena is circular with invisible barriers around it. A throne is in the center in which can be sat upon. You cannot go outside of the large circular arena. If you fly too high, you will also hit a barrier. If you get slammed into a barrier by an attack, you will take 25%, or 1/4 of the damage you got from the attack. Obviously, there is no water source, but you can dig, Earthquake, anything. There is no grass source, only rocks and lava. It's also always dark on here, as an evil seems to loom over all.
Basics:
Barriers around island in pic.
If hit into barrier, you take an extra 25% of damage from the attack.
No water, can dig/Earthquake/Magnitude/ etc.
No grass, only rocks and lava to use.
Always dark.
Nature: Adamant (Attack increased by *; Special Attack reduced by *)
Type: Fighting/Ghost

Ghost: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.
About Grave: Grave was one of Spenstar's first Pokemon. Shortly after he and his sister found out their parents died, his sister started to go crazy and whatever bond they had was completely broken. As he was running in fear from her Misdreavus, Spenstar ran into a Revenankh that gave off a familiar air. The two swore to protect each other from their respective threats, and for years they've done just that. Grave is actually the reincarnation of Spenstar's late father, hence the familiarity. This shows in Grave's personality; he is the voice of reason and comfort on the team and provided emotional support for Spenstar. Spenstar never figured out Grave's true nature, nor does Grave realize exactly who his trainer is, but all they know is that they're almost fated to be partners. Grave is the only Revenankh of the species to have green eyes; they're the eyes of Spenstar's late father.

About Brick: Spenstar found Brick in the muddy plains after his second battle. Using Grave, (Ruby was tired from the battle) Spenstar fought the Scraggy and won. Upon capturing him, he decided to nickname him Brick, after his determination to overcome any obstacle, even a brick wall. Brick is pretty young, and full of heart and excitement. He always cheers his team on in battles that he's not involved in, and fights to his limits constantly when he's in a battle. His claim to fame is defeating a Scyther and then a Gengar with no break in between, before even evolution. Since unlocking his hidden powers, Brick has gained the ability to leave a lasting scare on his opponents, something he always wanted to do.

About Ant Artica: While looking for an ice-type Pokemon in the depths of Snowpoint Temple, Spenstar found a young Syclar stumbling weakly, badly injured from a previous battle. He nursed the Syclar back to health, and in return, the Syclar accepted his offer to join his team. He named her Ant Arctica (usually addressed as simply "Arctica" though) and a partnership was formed. Ant Artica was often bullied by the stronger members of her swarm, and as a result, she is very mild-mannered and shy around trainers and Pokemon besides Spenstar. This somewhat changed when the rest of Spenstar's team warmed up to Ant Artica and made her feel at home; now she opens up to them but is still shy around other Pokemon. She feels blessed to finally have a loving family. Ant Artica is commonly seen outside her Pokeball, on Spenstar's shoulder or head.
