I'm your referee, Box, and it is a beautiful day here in ASB!

---------------------------------
In the left corner, we have an up-and-coming Freshie, Metal Sonic! Sonic brings his Freshmons in Piplup, Torchic and Scratchet to the battle; a nice variety of littlemons right there!

In the right corner, we have soon-to-be Fighting Gym Leader Birkal! Unsurprisingly, Birkal brings quite a few Fighting Pokemon to the fray. Metal Sonic is sure going to have his work cut out for him, but we'll see how things work out!

Watch out for Birkal's Privatyke in this fight! With type advantages over 2/3 of Metal Sonic's Pokemon, and standing at even ground with his third, Privatyke is looking to take home more than a couple of Knock-outs today!

---------------------------------​

With that, let's fight!
