ShinySkarmory, recovered from his nervewracking reffing at the Burning Place, drove up to the magnificient tower where his next reffing was to take place. Apparently, it was the Realgam Tower, where years before it was built as a front for Cipher to give out Shadow Pokemon. Now that Cipher's been eradicated, the place was a full-blown battling paradise, complete with a simulator that could effectively simulate any kind of arena! What kind of battle do we have today?

ShinySkarmory walked up and stood in front of the ref's monitor, which allowed him to view the battle from any angle, along with all pokemon's status, HP, and energy. Thank Arceus he didn't have to estimate himself this time! The battling trainers stepped into their cubicles without even a handshake, and the simulated arena paused for a second while their pokeballs were scanned. Basically, the pokemon would control a replica of themselves by moving naturally within their pokeballs, which allowed them to gain experience without being exposed to any harm! Finally, he saw the arena reappear, with virtual images of both trainers appearing on the rim of a soup bowl! What pokemon could they be bringing to this fight?Accepting

Arena: What's hip lately? Seems like the Alphabet Soups been popular, let's give it a whirl.The battlers are on a solid platform in the middle of a giant bowl filled with delicous broth. No move restrictions at all, because you can safely go seismetoad on the platform and there is plenty of broth to swampert your enemies with. In the soup, there is one of each letter unown floating in around aimlessly. They are all close enough to pick up, and a battler may use one action each round (they can't just use three unowns) to use any move that begins with that letter. Once an unown is used, it cannot be used again.
