Obelisk Temple

Arena: Obelisk Temple
Field Type: Neutral
Complexity: Intense
Format: Singles

Restrictions: No Weather, Artificial Field, Limited Ceiling, No Digging, No Seismic Attacks, No Water Source

Description: Obelisk Temple is an Egyptian-esque Temple where a collection of Sarcophagus reside. The arena itself is a room made of man-made solid ground, which consists of endless bricks, the sort commonly used for Pyramids. It's 50x50 metres in length & width & 30m in height, & around the edges of the arena, there are endless sarcophagus that look harmless, however some are cursed. Whether you touch a harmless one or a cursed one comes down to chance...

• 45% of the Sarcophagus are harmless & nothing happens.
• 35% are cursed, & when touched, you'll wake up a wild Cofagrigus that will make your ability Mummy & they'll also use Hex on you at close range, which is unavoidable.
• The other 20%? Those ones are also cursed, however, these ones open up & a wild Revenankh appears, which it will then proceed to grab the Pokemon that hit the sarcophagus, immobilising it until either it or the Pokemon it's holding is hit.
• In addition, the arena is also inhabited by Yamask, touch them & they'll use Curse on you.

Luckily, there are no items in the centre of the arena to worry about, & since it's indoors, no weather may occur...

Summary: 50x50x30m dimensions, indoors, no weather, undiggable surface, cursed sarcophagus, & endless Yamask inhabit the arena.

Anyone up for a round?

Cofagrigus. Well that's just FUCKING wonderful. Good luck, Random, not that you'll really need it.

Zero, Elphaba, standby! We're at something of a disadvantage, obviously, but I have faith that we can get at least one KO...

Zero:
Charge Beam >>> Thunder Wave >>> Charge Beam (Blind, all 3)

Elphaba:
Dragon Claw (Blind) >>> Dragon Dance >>> Dragon Claw (Blind)

 

[Its_A_Random]

WTF? Blind is evolving!!!

"Coffins are scary, eh?"
Spiroffin: Disable Zero's Charge Beam > Will-O-Wisp Elphaba > Hex Elphaba
Blind: (Evolve pre-action 1) > Taunt Zero > Ice Beam Elphaba > Fury Swipes Elphaba & try to back him into touching a Coffin

Maybe I should've bought in weaker mons...

 

[Its_A_Random]

Hi, sorry to dp, but I'mma bump this for the ref's sake. It is a 2 Day DQ Time...

 

[LupusAter]

Sorry for the lateness, but exams are a bitch.

Anyways, I'm glad to have my Dark mons close at hand, since the arena is just swarming with ghosts!
Blind the Panpour opens the hostilities by turning into Blind the Simipour, and Taunting Zero the Tynamo about how pathetic him and his four moves are. Zero responds by firing a Charge Beam at the primate, and increases his Special Attack in the process. Elphaba the Bagon then slashes at the monkey with her Dragon Claws, while Spiroffin the Cofagrigus Disables Zero's Charge Beam.
Blind then fires an Ice Beam at Elphaba, who is Dragon Dancing to increase her attacking prowess and speed. All the dancing makes her a difficult target, and Spiroffin's Will-O-Wisp misses its mark, and hits one of the Yamask roaming the arena, who promptly Curses its bigger cousin. Zero is fuming in anger about Blind's earlier taunts, and is too angry to fire a Thunder Wave.
The aforementioned simian starts Swiping in Fury at Zero, and the three hits smash him into the wall next to one of the sarcophagi. Close one, that. Elphaba then hits him with another Dragon Claw, while Spiroffin places an Hex on her.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Don't worry about the exams, Lupus, I can sympathise, but if you need us to find a sub-ref, don't hesitate to say so.

 

[LupusAter]

No need for subrefs, the worst is passed. You'll have your regular reffings from now on.

 

[Its_A_Random]

Remember that Zero is Taunted for three more actions.

"CURSES!!! Lets go crazy!"
Spiroffin: Psychic Elphaba, sending him into a Sarcophagus > Toxic Zero > Hex Zero
Blind: Ice Beam Elphaba > Acrobatics Elphaba > Ice Beam Elphaba
If Elphaba faints, Blind shall use Scald on Elphaba for the rest of the rest of the round.

 

[Son_of_Shadoo]

HIM?! ELPHABA IS A WOMAN, GOOD SIR! Also, foregone loss much?

Zero: Spark the fuck out of Blind

Elphaba: Dragon Claw the fuck out of Blind

EDIT: Try to push him into sarcophagi.

 

[LupusAter]

The battle goes on, and Blind fires an Ice Beam directly in Elphaba's face, but is then slammed on a sarcophagus by his opponents' combined assault of Dragon Claw and Spark, freeing the Cofagrigus inside, who proceeds to Mummify and Hex him. Spiroffin then takes a number from his opponents, and throws Elphaba on a sarcophagus with Psychic force, freeing another Cofagrigus who Hexes her.
Blind then finishes Elphaba with Acrobatics moves, but Zero avenges his fallen comrade with a Critical Hit Spark, which KOs Blind! Spiroffin then coats him with Toxic sludge.
Zero hits the Cofagrigus with another Spark, but the mummy Hexes him.

[Its_A_Random]

"Well, this battle's closer than I expected...SHAME ON YOU FOR KILLING MY MONKEY!!!"
Psychic, sending Zero into a Yamask > Disable Charge Beam > Hex

 

[LupusAter]

Zero opens the hostilities by ramming into Spiroffin with a Spark, managing to paralyze him! Spiroffin withstands the paralysis, and throws him at the burned Yamask from before, who must have been a sailor in life, since he really Curses like one! Zero then zaps Spiroffin with a Charge Beam, increasing his Special Attack in the process! Spiroffin really wants to Disable that, but his paralysis prevents him from moving! Zero hits his unmoving ghostly foe with a Charge Beam, scoring another Special Attack increase, but is then hit by a powerful Hex.
