Hello, if you're not involved, please don't post in this thread until the battle's completion. Thank you.
In an arena where Fire Types can finally get their revenge over Water Types, two trainers go to war. On one hand, we have EspyOwner, a relatively new Trainer, & on the other hand, we have a veteran in the form of Lord Jesseus. What did they bring, we'll see soon. First, the regs.

Arena: ASB Tournament Arena - The "Weird Zone"
Field Type: Neutral
Complexity: Moderate
Format: All
Restrictions: No Restrictions
Description: Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokemon fans, the ASB Arena can be best described as a standard Pokemon battling arena. In the center of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (With a white Pokeball centre). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about 4.5m wide and creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is 24m wide, 33m long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it's an outdoor arena with a large water source and packed dirt. Pokemon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying Pokemon, who cannot leave the arena and cannot fly higher than 18m). This prevents Pokemon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are no outside interruptions by fans, Pokemon, or other elements not associated with the current battle.
However, there is one slight difference in this battle, though: ALL TYPE ADVANTAGES ARE REVERSED
Weaknesses become resitances and resistances become weakness. Ice becomes uber defensive, Aggron gets raped viciously by tackle.
(Immunities become 2x weaknesses)
Also this only applies to the actual typing; weaknesses, resistances and immunities granted by abilties are unaffected.
That's about all there is to say.
