Arena: Warehouse 51-
A very large government storehouse full of crates (think the end of Indiana Jones). It's a mystery as to what are inside the crates, some say tax documents, some say the Ark of the Covenant, and some say alien bodies. A few of the guards have snuck in and pushed the crates around to make a rectangular space for Pokemon battles. They say it's okay if any of the crates get broken open as long as the trainers help clean up after the match (in other words, the crates can be opened to reveal an object/item/nothing, up to the ref).
Summary: Indoor arena full of breakable crates that may or may not contain objects.

A very large government storehouse full of crates (think the end of Indiana Jones). It's a mystery as to what are inside the crates, some say tax documents, some say the Ark of the Covenant, and some say alien bodies. A few of the guards have snuck in and pushed the crates around to make a rectangular space for Pokemon battles. They say it's okay if any of the crates get broken open as long as the trainers help clean up after the match (in other words, the crates can be opened to reveal an object/item/nothing, up to the ref).
The combatants take the stage. Here in this abandoned warehouse, the stench of swamp gas and kerosine fills the air. This top secret facility just five miles away from scenic Roswell, New Mexico is the perfect place to find old movie props, Elvis paraphernalia, and other sorts of stock Hollywood oddities. It is here an epic battle is about to take place. The trainers release their Pokemon. DarthVader 317 releases Shocker the Pichu and DragonCannon the Embirch. Opposed are LupusAter's Pokemon, Thor the Elekid and Hraesvelgr the Rufflet.
Round 1 Begin!
The match begins with Shocker taking the initiative. With lightning quickness, Shocker bolts toward Thor and strikes with a incredible quickness. The Fake Out takes Thor aback, and it completely forgets what it was going to do. Hraesvelgr meanwhile attempts to take aim with Rock Tomb, but finding no rocks in the warehouse it instead improvises by throwing crates at Shocker. The attack misses its mark, and the crate crashes next to the Pichu, bursting open to reveal a pile of Magic 8-Balls. All of them are mysteriously displaying "No" in the window. Eerie. DragonCannon looks onward as it fires a Will-O-Wisp at Hraesvelgr, the swirling flames strike the opponent, inflicting a serious second degree burn on Hraesvelgr's left wing.
Thor looks onward as it prepares to coordinate with its partner, but as Hraesvelgr closes in on Shocker, Shocker unleashes a devastating Thunder. The cracking electricity strikes the determined bird for a great deal of damage, but the Rufflet continues on bravely, and picks Shocker up with Sky Drop for a combination with Thor below. The tiny mouse is easily lifted by the scrappy avian, but DragonCannon intervenes to aid its ally, and launches a Flamethrower, which strains Hraesvelgr's already burnt wing even more. Shocker is dropped and Thor happily capitalizes with an Ice Punch as Shocker drops to the floor, though the height is not great. The combatants gaze at each other. Hraesvelgr is angry and smells of burnt feathers while Thor's anger is building. Shocker for its part is a bit dazed, but DragonCannon looks on bemused, ready to continue.
Thor rushes in on the dazed Shocker with its arms folded in a powerful Cross Chop, but Shocker comes to its senses quickly and avoids a direct hit. It still takes some damage, but avoids the full brunt of the attack. In retaliation Shocker launches a Thunder Wave at the Thor, but Thor's own electrical current prevents the electricity from inflicting paralysis so easily. Thor boasts proudly as the match continues. Hraesvelgr unleashes a furious Wing Attack with its unburnt Wing on DragonCannon, striking a glancing blow. DragonCannon takes the hit in stride and responds with a Psybeam. The psyonic waves rush over Hraesvelgr, but it recovers, still searing.
In the aftermath of the first round, Magic 8-Balls have rolled around the arena a bit from the broken crates. Shocker has regained its composure, Thor is feeling confident, DragonCannon looks prepared. Hraesvelgr is nursing a burn, but is by far the most furious.
End Round 1!
Arena:
Broken crate debris and loose Magic 8 Balls are littered on the ground. There are still several crates in the arena stacked up in piles.
Shocker, use Thunder on Rufflet. Then use Tail Whip to clear away some of those 8-balls from Embirch's path. Finish up by using ThunderPunch on Rufflet, jump off a pile of crates if you need to.
DragonCannon, use Flamethrower on Rufflet. Now shift your attention towards Thor, and use Flame Wheel to knock him into the nearest crate and then trap him with Fire Spin. Hopefully Shocker was able to move some of the 8-balls out of the way so you don't trip on them during Flame Wheel.
Thor, open with a Light Screen to soften all those special attacks. Then Cross Chop Pichu in the back, while he's occupied sweeping balls. End the round with an Ice Punch on Pichu.
Hraesvelgr, open the round with a Wing Attack on Embirch, then Sky Drop Embirch amidst the crates. Finish the round with a Brave Bird on Embirch.
Thor rushes to the aid of its ally, generating a Light Screen to protect both combatants. The brilliant shield surrounds their body, and none too soon. Shocker launches a powerful Thunder Attack, but the tiny mouse is off, and instead Thunder strikes an unopened crate several yards behind its adversaries. The crate explodes from the shock. Inside was a wandering Super Nerd who was eavesdropping on the battle. His body has several scuffs and his clothing frayed. He looks from left to right shiftily, then exits the Warehouse. Taking advantage of the confusion, Hraesvelgr strikes DragonCannon with its healthy wing in another Wing Attack that strikes for a critical hit/B], though it begins to feel its energy wane. DragonCannon retaliates with a Flamethrower, much of which is absorbed by Hraesvelgr's Light Screen.
Thor takes only a moment to glance at its partner, satisfied, before launching Cross Chop at Shocker. Shocker has taken to knocking Magic 8 balls out of the way with Tail Whip, which now read "Yes." Despite the move rolling a few balls at Thor, his attack connects, doing a great deal of damage to Shocker. Meanwhile, Hraesvelgr continues its assault of DragonCannon, this time using its wings to lift Dragon Cannon into the air, preparing for a Sky Drop. Hraesvelgr unfortunately does this just as DragonCannon rotates into a Flame Wheel intended for Thor. The flames sear Hraesvelgr as DragonCannon drops down from above, and adds the fall momentum to its own attack strength.
Thor continues its assault on Shocker with Ice Punch, but ends up with a nasty surprise. Although the Ice connects, Shocker's Static feedback has enough voltage to overwhelm Thor's ability to take it, and it finds itself suffering from paralysis. Shocker, though injured, is mildly pleased and takes its opening to Thunderpunch Hraesvelgr. It's Light Screen is of no use to this attack, and Hraesvelgr takes the brunt of it. Hraesvelgr is battered but defiant, and charges up a massive amount of energy before charging strait into DragonCannon with Brave Bird. The recoil takes its toll, and with a push over the edge from its Burn, Hraesvelgr is overwhelmed and cannot continue. DragonCannon changes objectives, launching a Fire Spin at Thor. Thor's Light Screen is still active, but even with it up he still takes damage from the swirling flames. Paralyzed and locked in Fire Spin, Thor will have great difficulty accessing its foes. Hraesvelgr has also seen better days. Shocker and DragonCannon remain steady, preparing for the next round.
End Round 2!

The 8-balls have dispersed around the arena, and the Super Nerd left the door open. A strong draft is blowing into the warehouse now.

Shocker begins by powering up with Charge. The electricity builds in the tiny mouse, strengthening its guard against special attacks and boosting its electrical attacks. Fjalar begins to spin into a dance, greatly increasing its offensive prowess with Swords Dance. DragonCannon begins to whistle. The soothing Melody permeates through the entire field, sending every Pokemon other than DragonCannon to Sleep. Thor is trapped in the roaring flames, and is unable to complete its action, however it wakes up soon afterwards, still in its miserable prison.
Shocker and Fjalar are still snoozing, as DragonCannon bursts into flames and rolls directly into Shocker with another Flame Wheel. Both are in DragonCannons circle of flames now, and Thor retaliates with an Ice Punch. The freezing cold direct attack temporarily staunches Dragoncannon's flames, removing the Fire Spin.
Shocker and Fjalar are still incapacitated from GrassWhistle, leaving Thor and DragonCannon to one final confrontation. DragonCannon gives one last Flame Wheel, this time burning Thor's body in the process with a 1st Degree Burn. Thor retaliates with a Fire Punch, whose own heat stings Thor, but it finally finishes DragonCannon off.
Shocker shows signs of stirring, and it peps up for the next round. Fjalar is not so lucky, and remains snoozing for 1 more action.
End Round 3!

Rebble [Clovis]
Nature: Modest (Special Attack increased by *; Attack decreased by *)
Type: Rock Rock: Rock STAB; Take 2 less damage from all special attacks during Sandstorm, Earth Power, Earthquake and Magnitude have Energy Cost reduced by one (1).
Abilities: Levitate: (Innate) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading Ground moves like Earthquake, Level Ground, and Magnitude. Other Ground moves can still hit. Technician: (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally deal 6 or below base damage to have their base damage 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) damage, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Mold Breaker (DW): (Innate) 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.)
Moves:

Rock Blast
Disable
Acupressure
Mud Shot

Substitute
Alright then Clovis, let's start with a 25% Substitute. Once you've set up the decoy use Paleo Wave followed by a Flamethrower on Thor.
Shocker, let's work with Clovis to get Thor out of the way. Hit him with your charge boosted ThunderPunch, then use a Volt Change, and end with a mighty blast of Thunder.
Ok. Thor, open with a Quick Attack on Pichu, then Fire Punch and Ice Punch it to bring it down. Fjalar, when you wake up destroy that sub with a double Shadow Claw.

Thor overcomes its paralysis and lashes out with a Quick Attack. It's burn weakens the blow, but nonetheless it catches Shocker off guard. Clovis begins by expending a large portion of its health creating a sturdy Substitute (25 HP). Shocker retaliates from Thor's blow with a Thunderpunch, which strikes hard with the help of charge the previous turn. Fjalar snoozes, but quickly rushes to its senses and prepares for battle. Thor's Burn continues to ebb away its life force as the battle continues.
Clovis begins the next phase of the battle, launching a powerful Paleo Wave at Thor. The beam strikes its foe with great force, and Shocker follows up with Volt Switch, quickly darting up and back to its original position while striking Thor, its Charge still in effect. Fjalar strikes Clovis' Substitute with Shadow Claw, lowering its resiliency. Thor executes its Fire Punch against Shocker. The repeated attacks from Clovis and Pichu have worn Thor down, and it finally succumbs to its Burn. Thor collapses, leaving Fjalar alone against its two opponents.
Clovis and Shocker both take a rest after finishing off their opponent as they were instructed. Fjalar continues swiping at Clovis' Substitute with Shadow Claw. It is almost in tatters now, but still remains intact. It cannot take much more, however.
A draft is still blowing into the arena, long after the rude Super Nerd has left.
End Round 4!
Arena:
The 8-balls have dispersed around the arena, and the Super Nerd left the door open. A strong draft is blowing into the warehouse now.
No manners, those Super Nerds.
Okay Shocker, you probably won't last the round, but let's try one last move. Try to ThunderPunch Fjalar into whatever crates, if any, remain, and keep doing so until you're KO'd.
Clovis, while Torchic is preoccupied with Pichu take the opportunity to target it with Metal Sound. Then strike at Fjalar with Paleo Wave and Ancient Power.
Pichu= ThunderPunch- ThunderPunch -ThunderPunch (All Torchic)
Clovis= Metal Sound- Paleo Wave -Ancient Power (All Torchic)
The 8-balls have dispersed around the arena, and the Super Nerd left the door open. A strong draft is blowing into the warehouse now.
No manners, those Super Nerds.
Fjalar looks at its situation hesitantly, but girds itself for battle. Clovis begins with a shrieking Metal Sound, which lowers Fjalar's Special Defense harshly. Shocker piles on with a Thunderpunch, which isn't boosted but does do substantial damage as Shocker's Charge gives out. Fjalar responds with Ember, finishing off the beleaguered Pichu. The widespread attack also wipes out what remains of Clovis' Substitute, and it reappears from the shadows. Fjalar turns to its last remaining opponent, Clovis.
Clovis launches another Paleo Wave. The swift beam does immense damage to the weakened Fjalar, knocking it back, but it perseveres and begins a Fire Spin. Rebble becomes engulfed in the flames, but its rocky outer shell protects it from the initial blow. The flames circling around it are still quite unpleasant and begin molting its skin.
Clovis ends the round with Ancientpower, which strikes Torchic with overwhelming force from below. The immense force of the attack ends Fire Spin's grip, but nothing else comes of it, as Fjalar recuperates and strikes back with a Shadow Claw, slicing into the rock with its energized claws. It couldn't keep the energy from Fire Spin up while charging its claws, but it's happy with the outcome.
The arena is long forgotten now, as both competitors make preparations for what may be their final encounter. The tension is palpable.
The 8-balls have dispersed around the arena, and the Super Nerd left the door open. A strong draft is blowing into the warehouse now.
No manners, those Super Nerds.
Clovis makes its move with a tremendous Earth Power. The arena cracks and glows with a bright light, and a massive eruption of light from the ground blasts Fjalar backward. Desperately looking for a crate to launch with Rock Slide, Fjalar finds one that says "DO NOT BREAK" and decides it would be the ideal weapon. It launches the crate at Clovis. Clovis is struck by the blow, and the crate shatters into pieces, revealing... a Jigglypuff with a marker shaped like a microphone. The Jigglypuff looks around, first dazed, then angry.
Clovis knows where this is going, and quickly fires an Ancientpower at Fjalar. Fjalar attempts to duck for cover, but to no avail. The explosive rock energy of Ancientpower knocks it out. Sadly this leaves the Jigglypuff with less of an audience, and it begins to sing...
