And because I'm really nice, (plus, I love forests):
Arena:

Forest of Silence

---

Arena: Forest of Silence
Field Type: Psychic
Complexity: Intense
Format: N/A

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Image

Within the Forest of Silence, there is no sound. In fact, it seems time -- and thus motion -- has stopped completely, as everything is coated in a grey pallor, and leaves pause halfway down to the ground, perhaps to ask directions. It has become a regular haunt for trainers over the years, hoping that their exciting battles will set time in motion yet again, allowing the forest to continue in its natural cycle. That includes that natural cycle of the wildlife too, who haven't been able to relieve themselves for almost a decade now.

However, even the shortest amount of exposure to the forest will begin to freeze the Pokémon -- they will never become fully immobilised, but from the very start of the battle their attacks will become... hm... somewhat unreliable. The Pokémon must focus their minds, needing extra effort to launch an attack successfully. Naturally, Psychic Pokémon are more able at this task, though once some Pokémon get a whiff (or, in some rather strange cases, a taste) of their opponents, they will find it much easier to focus on the battle at hand. These such Pokémon must hit the opponent with a contact attack, or be hit in the same manner, for their primal instincts to activate.

The battle takes place in a clearing, which is open to the heavily-overcast sky (it is Britain, after all). This doesn't mean, however, that one couldn't alter that. In fact, please do -- it's a little chilly [SolarBeam will work as normal]. Nature will behave as usual, but don't expect it to go anywhere while you aren't looking. Well, apart from that one time... Err, anyway, apart from that instance, trees cannot be toppled. They can, however, be burned to the ground and climbed. Unfortunately, there is no water around, save for the small amount present in the loamy ground.

In the next clearing there seems to be a swarm of blue Pokémon attending to some kind of machine, spewing out smoke and sparks. They are unreachable, however, due to some kind of forcefield...

Mechanics

• Strict Soundproofing (EG, no Growl.)
• Pokémon begin to be frozen, causing a 40% [flat] drop in accuracy. Psychic Pokémon, and those listed below, can focus and increase the accuracy of their moves back to their original standard by 20% for 1 extra en. Other Pokémon can increase their accuracy by 10% for 1 extra en. These boosts stack (E.G., you can add 40% for 4 EN).
• Smelling and tasting Pokémon must hit -- or be hit -- with a contact attack before the extra EN reduction takes place.
• Focus Punch's accuracy is unchanged by the arena.
• The Dodge chances of all non-Psychic Pokémon not listed below are halved.
• There is a 1/1,000,000 chance of a tree falling per round, dealing Wood Hammer damage to one Pokémon (decided by RNG). All of the effects listed above are then nulled. Only a tree that falls in this manner will cause this effect.
• Using Odor Sleuth gives the user smelling powers (and thus the energy reduction) for as long as it is active.
• Only Psychic Pokémon can Chill consecutively, successfully. All other Pokémon will be inflicted with a Freeze condition (of varying intensity) if this is attempted.

Smelling mons: Ninetales family, Persian family, Arcanine family, all Eevee-related Pokémon, Granbull family, Mamoswine family, Houndoom family, Donphan family, Ursaring family, Smeargle, Mightyena family, Linoone family, Delcatty family, Zangoose, Absol, Luxray family, Pachirisu, Purugly family, Emboar family, Stoutland family, Liepard family, Emolga, Zoroark family, Tomohawk family.

Tasting mons: Muk family, Lickitung family, Swalot family, Vanilluxe family, Haunter.

Non-psychic with Psychic powers: Ninetales family, Golduck family, Venemoth family, Stantler, Lucario family.

[SimonSays]

"... God dammit, everything I have is directly countered. It would have been nice to send out second, but let's play it hard: Prince, show them who's the best! A Pomeg Berry would be nice, but whatever..."

"Ohh, and let's dress up for the occasion, shall we?"

[Alchemator]

"Welcome to my forest. Let's begin! Christopher!"


"Wear him down!"

Reflect ~ Stealth Rock ~ Hammer Arm [+2 EN]
If he uses Leech Seed, dodge it with Evasive Agility and push actions back, but not more than once.

[SimonSays]

"Ohh, fancy smansy Psychic thinks it can lessen the damage we're dealing? Well, turns out it can. But whatever."

Odour Sleuth ~ Thunder Wave [+2 En] ~ Leech Seed [+1 En]
Odour Sleuthing should give the "I can smell you" boost. Yay.

I would says some opening comments but no one could hear it, so let us jump to the battle!

Prince begins the battle by showing why he was choosen for this job, using his fine nose, he finds the metallic spider quickly, Odour Sleuth was a success. Christopher doesn't to waste his time with things like that, as he has the advantage being a Psychic type, which he quickly capitalises on with one of their trademark moves, Reflect. Prince will have trouble breaking through that one!

Knowing that he is better off using this chance to weaken Metagross not with damage but with status, Prince sends a Thunder Wave at Christopher, paralysing him. Managing to over come his problem, Christopher continues to set up, this time some rocks, to punish any future switches by SimonSays, things aren't looking nice for Prince with those Stealth Rocks.

He doesn't give up though, knowing Christopher's orders he avoids damage by wasting a turn on Leech Seed, which Christopher dodges with an Agility, albeit for nothing and the Seeds go way off their intended path.

Prince is in a best position with his offense being shut down, but he has maneuvered nicely till now. Alas even escaping may not be an option with the Rocks up, and a counterswitch in his face. It would give him a chance to play around Alch's orders if he plays right though, but we shall see, not hear though, sure not hear.

Wow Singles are so easy to ref... I got too used to those damned multiple battles. If I had known this I'd have had time to ref this ages ago.... sorry....

Shhh, the battle continues, stay silent or you can't hear the nothing.

Prince now uses his Leech Seeds for real, not a diversion tactic like last time, and it came at such a bad time for Christopher too! He was just about to set up a Substitute, seems like he will be drained for a while now.

But it looks like the sub was worth it's money, as it manages to block the Sand-Attack aimed at Christopher's. He isn't too happy though, and won't let that underhanded move slide. As he goes into rage mode his arm starts to freeze, as he strikes with a mighty Ice Hammer Arm... Then the forest gets to him and he horribly misses, sucks to be him.

With Prince being free to do whatever he wants to, he goes for a Wild Charge, alas with both a reflective wall and a substitute in his way, that didn't do much, but at least Leech Seed is outdamaging both sides!

Neither sides First turn setup is up anymore, will Odour Sleuth be used again? Will a Reflect stand in Prince's way again? Will they just finally start attacking? We all know that the answer to the last question is no.

Christopher's paralysis degrades.

The woods are deathly silent as the two combatants hold their silent duel in the midst of halted autumn leaves. The sounds of each battler's footfalls are heard for but a moment as the forest devours the noise whole, leaving the ear awaiting the next sign that life still breathes underneath these trees.

Metagross raises its arm with uncanny grace, perhaps lent to it by the slowing of the woods, before bringing it crashing down upon empty turf. The effect of the forest slows him, but he's still plenty fast enough - Sawsbuck takes the full brunt of the attack, despite itself. Even while trying to sidestep the attack, Sawsbuck was calling out the sun to lend it speed. The change is unnoticed under the slowness of the woods. The canopy allows the light through, but paints it with a dull grey that robs it of any cheer it may have once had.

The next moment is less kind to Sawsbuck, it moves to slip into the mottled shadows created by the treetops, but invites Metagross' Ice Punch on the way out. In the stillness, the icy fist rakes slowly across Sawsbuck's side as it turns to slip into the shadow, striking deeply. With Sawsbuck's oncoming attack silenced by the woods, Metagross is caught off-guard by a horn impacting deeply with the Iron Leg Pokémon's joint - only to find itself horn-deep into a decoy.

Straining against the inhibition of the area, Metagross emerges from the moss and leaves, seeming to grow from the earth itself, and crashes its leg into the ground again. It strikes true once more. Sawsbuck rises from the blow, and takes the opportunity to catch its breath.

Both Pokémon are steadfast in their resolve, but exhausted nonetheless. It seems like their own exertions will undo them faster than the attacks they're weathering. The forest looms on all sides, craning to see which of the two crumbles first.

[SimonSays]

"Dear Prince, you've fought well. You taken this iron beast to its very limit, pitting it against its own home and proving your own special prowess, and I am proud of you for it. But I think it's time we got you out of this for a moment, yes?"

Initiating Switch Phase: Prince -> Fawkes


"Mighty foe, how do you respond?"

[Alchemator]

Yeah the last round changed, but I've given you a day to change if you want but you haven't, and I don't want this to drag.

"An Espeon, eh? Let's go Anna!"

"He can't touch us!"

Substitute (15HP) ~ Reflect ~ Crunch [+2 EN]
If he uses Yawn, use Magic Coat and push actions back, but only once.

[SimonSays]

Ohh, sorry. Should've indicated that I didn't want to change. My bad.


"So, If we can't touch you... then this shouldn't hurt a bit."

Trump Card [+1 En] ~ Psychic [+1 En] ~ Baton Pass (Prometheus)

[Alchemator]

Haha I've forgotten the arena effect again.

If you let me edit you can edit?

E: Done.

[SimonSays]

Crap. As long as it's only to add energy, then go ahead, because I'll be doing the same.

The forest is silent as it watches Simon's moves intently, seeming to loom in his direction with intent. His moves are bizarre, but do they yet have purpose...? There is no way to know...
