Brandon tapped his foot, waiting impatiently for the two battlers, both newcomers to ASB, to arrive at the arena. His Bulbasaur, Vinestrike, was taking a nap at his feet in the meantime. While waiting, he decided to remind himself of the rules for the upcoming match.

Vinestrike suddenly awoke and tugged on Brandon's leg to signal the arrival of the trainers, Maxim and iss, who took their spots at opposite ends of the arena. "About time," Brandon muttered as he prepared to explain how things worked. "OK guys, you two are fairly new so I'll go through how things work. First, as match seeker iss will send out his first Pokemon. Next, Maxim will send out his first Pokemon and give its orders, then iss will give his orders. I'll figure out what happened and update you guys, then iss will give orders. Maxim will give orders, I'll update you guys again, and we'll keep going like that, alternating who gives orders first. Oh, and since in this match you're only allowed one ability, you'll have to specify which one you're using if your Pokemon has more than one." The trainers nodded, and iss prepared to send out his first Pokemon.
iss, you're up!
He looked around the usual ASB Tournament Arena, empty at the moment since there were no tournament matches happening right now. The ground was hard, but Brandon knew that a Pokemon could still Dig through it, as well as use any seismic moves. There was also a moat of water surrounding it, allowing the use of Surf. Since the trainers still hadn't arrived, he checked their teams to see what he could expect for the upcoming battle.
