Two trainers find themselves in a strange place, never seen before except perhaps in the wildest nightmares.
Arena: Spirit Spiral. An extradimensional vortex which vaguely resembles space, we battle inside the plane where the dead go, battling on a spiral-shaped rock. It's somewhat fragile, although the centre of gravity is good. Weather will be wierd - Sunlight will be very close, giving 5 radiation damage each action to non poison mons. Rain will bring a storm with it, hitting random pokémon with thunderbolts every 3 actions, from a Rank 2 Sp.atk. Sandstorm will do double damage in the arena center, and half damage when floating more than 5 m off the surface. Hail has the reverse effect.
Finding themselves somewhere between life and death, the two trainers feel they have no other option - they battle!
Issuing the challenge is Dogfish44. It is unknown what happened to the previous 43 Dogfish. Perhaps they had similar fates?
Yamask [Cizin] (M)
Nature: Quiet (Adds One (1) Rank to Special Attack; Divides Base Speed by 1.15 and gives a flat 10 point decrease in evasion, effectively adding 10 accuracy (e.g. 85 becomes 95) on an opponent’s attacks.
Type: Ghost: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.
Abilities:
Mummy (Innate): This Pokemon's skin has a lasting curse on it. When strucky by an opponents contact move, the curse transfers, changing the opponent's ability(ies) to Mummy for the next six (6) actions.
