Arena: Shield Battle Arena

The arena has sufficient external sources to allow all moves to be used, with the exception of seismic moves (Earthquake, Bulldoze, Magnitude and Fissure), Dig, Dive and Grass Knot.

In a quaint little village, this kind of battle is quite popular. The pokemon will stand on large, circular shields held above the heads of designated shield holders. The pokemon must try to maintain their balance on these shields, even if they would normally fly or levitate. Therefore, each pokemon, in addition to its usual stats, has a special balance stat. The maximum this can be is 5 (and this is what it starts at) and the minimum it can be is 0. A pokemon loses 1 balance any time it takes more than 20 damage from a move, it takes a critical hit or it flinches. These stack, so a move that does more than 20 damage, gets a critical hit and causes a flinch can make its target lose 3 balance. At the end of each round, all pokemon still on their shields regain 1 balance.

If a pokemon's balance ever drops to 0, it will fall off of its shield at the end of the action. Once it has fallen off of its shield, the pokemon will forfeit its next action as it gets back onto its shield at the end of that action and its balance is restored to 5. While doing this, any moves that were aimed at that pokemon will not be executed and any multi-target moves will only target the pokemon still on their shields.

And for anyone who is wondering where I got that idea from

Claws the Scizor

---

Scizor [Claws] (Female)
Nature: Adamant (+ to Attack, - from Special Attack)
Type: Bug/Steel
Bug: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves.
Steel: Steel STAB; Immune to Sandstorm, highly insusceptible to toxic attacks, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, can be magnetized. Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Swarm
Type: Innate
When this Pokemon’s HP is lower than 33% (flat), the Base Attack Power of any Bug-typed attack is increased by 2. (eg Silver Wind goes from 6 to 8, X-Scissor from 8 to 10)

Ability 2: Technician
Type: Innate
This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects.

Ability 3: Light Metal (DW) [unlocked]
Type: Innate
The Pokemon's body is made of a lightweight but extremely strong alloy. It weighs half as much as other members of the species, but is equally sturdy. The Pokemon executes weak attacks much more effectively, adding +1 priority to all their attacks with 6 or less Base Attack Power (after other ability adjustments). Priority is applied to the summed Base Attack Power of a multi-hit move (e.g. Double Kick has priority at 6 BAP, Skill Link Bullet Seed doesn't at 15 BAP.)

Brains the Metagross

Metagross [Brains] (Genderless)
Nature: Careful (Adds One (1) Rank to Special Defense; Substracts One (1) Rank from Special Attack)
Type: Steel/Psychic
Steel: Steel STAB; Immune to Sandstorm, highly insusceptible to toxic attacks, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, can be magnetized. Superior senses in high-metal environments like construction sites or factories.
Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic attacks regardless of weight difference. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.

Abilities:

Well this is just about the weirdest thing I've done since the Witches' Brew battle that got cut short. Four big and burly men will be carrying circular metal shields to hold pokemon on. Ragnarokalex chooses Gage the Nidoking and Malspar the Infernape, while C$FP realises that bringing Claws the Scizor and Brains the Metagross might not be such a good idea after all. But it's too late to go back and get some other pokemon, so let this battle begin!

Malspar jumps in the air and shrouds himself in flames before landing a Flare Blitz on Claws, striking her in a weak spot and causing her to get a bit wobbly. The impact is powerful enough to allow Malspar to bounce back to his own shield, but he's taken a bit of a bruising from that attack. Gage supports his friend by calling upon the Earth Power to strike Brains from below. The attack catches Brains' shield holder but the muscular man shrugs it off. The Metagross, on the other hand, is shaken by the attack and decides to strike back immediately with a Zen Headbutt to Gage's chest. Quickly, it thrusts itself forward and slams into the Nidoking, knocking him off-balance a little, and then propels itself back towards its own shield. Claws follows up by flying off of her shield and into Malspar, smacking him with a Wing Attack that strikes the Infernape in a weak spot and makes him lose his balance for a moment. She then flies back onto her own shield and waits for Malspar to fall, but the Infernape remains standing.

Malspar and Gage continue the assault, with the former ordering his shield holder to get closer to Brains so that he can Fire Punch the Metagross and the latter breathing a Flamethrower attack all over Claws. Brains, undaunted by the Infernape's attack, uses its Psychic powers to knock him silly while Claws strikes Gage with an Aerial Ace attack. This is looking like quite a struggle for all four pokemon.

But then another Flare Blitz attack from Malspar seals the Scizor's fate as she is knocked off of her shield and does not get back up. C$FP returns her to her pokeball while Gage calls for some more Earth Power and Brains strikes him with another Zen Headbutt. Despite this, neither of those two pokemon can knock each other off of the shields. In fact, all three pokemon are looking worn out.
