Brandon stood in the reffing tower at the ASB Arena, waiting for the two battlers to arrive for their training match. Behind him, Aquastrike, his Dewott, was sharpening his shell. While they waited, Brandon double-checked the rules.

If this Pokemon has no item and either it or the opposing Pokemon strikes with a contact attack, their item is stolen and becomes the held item of this Pokemon.

Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

The Pokemon's presense causes immense tension in the opponent, preventing them from eating a held Berry. Natural Gift may still be used.
Brandon advanced to the front of the reffing stand to address the Trainers. "OK, since Blastoiseboy is new to this, I'll explain how things work. Blastoiseboy, since you issued the challenge, you send your Pokemon out first. After that, BM-Zeo will send out his Pokemon and give it its orders, then you will give your orders. Once you've both ordered I'll update you guys on what happened, then Blastoiseboy will order. BM-Zeo will order after him, and I'll update you guys again, and we'll keep going like that, alternating the order for orders each round. So if you guys are ready, let's get started!"
blastoiseboy19, you're up!
"Beginner's battle, so we'll be seeing some weaker Pokemon. Should be interesting!" Just then, the two trainers walked in. On one side was Blastoiseboy, fighting his first ever ASB match. On the other was Blazikenmaster-Zeo, no stranger to ASB. Brandon decided to check the teams to see what they could expect.
