Brandon sat at the edge of the field, watching Boulderstrike, his new Larvitar, munch on a few rocks. Bored, he checked out the rules for the upcoming match.

"Looks like Lolcat only had two Pokemon to bring. That gives Galladiator a bit of an advantage, but that Scyther looks strong. Should be an interesting match." Seeing the trainers were ready, Brandon quickly went over the order of operations with them. "Alright guys, here's how it works. Lolcat will send out his Pokemon, then Galladiator will send out his and issue its actions. Lolcat will give his orders, and then I'll figure out what happened and update you guys. Then Lolcat will give his orders first, followed by Galladiator, I'll figure stuff out again, and we'll keep going with you guys alternating who gives orders first. Also, don't forget to declare your Pokemon's ability when you send it out! That's it, let's get going!"
DetroitLolcat, you're up!
"Huh, a Beginner Battle. That's new," Brandon said to himself. Hearing a noise, he looked up to see Lolcat arriving. Greeting the trainer, he looked around. The arena was just a dusty field, with a pond in the middle, presumably so Water-type Pokemon would be able to fight at full effectiveness. Before long Lolcat's opponent, Galladiator, arrived, and while they made their final preparations Brandon looked over their teams.
