I'll ref this. PM teams, you two.
reffing, PM teams
Alright, so my last 1K challenge was a bit of a catastrophe. That said, I want to have a successful celebration, so I'm going to retry it with quite a few differences.
3v3v3v3 Singles 1K Celebration Redux
3 Day DQ Players (That's you), 5 Days Ref (That's me)
No Sequences
Arena: Possibly my most creative arena yet, THE WHOLE WORLD
All Aboard!
Recently, Maxim got a hold of a plane, a license, and quite a bit of jet fuel. What's he going to do with it? Well, take these battlers to the ends of the earth that's what! Yep, every round the battlers will get on the plane and head off to a number of fantastic and ridiculously dangerous places on the earth (Or a stereotype thereof). From America to Nova Scotia, from Germany to China, there's no place he won't go to cause these contestants misery.
Each round, a location on Earth will be chosen and a battlefield will be created based on the location. For instance:
1st: North America
2nd: South America
3rd: Europe
4th: Africa
5th: Asia
6th: Australia
7th: Antarctica
To add even further pain to the challengers, Maxim will occasionally create challenges, a la Wario Ware, that will cost any pokemon that doesn't succeed 1/10th of their total hp and 8 energy.
Do you have what it takes to win this insane competition?
Summary:
Constantly changing arena
Challenges (-1/10th HP and 8 EN for failure)
Alright, here's how this is going to work. I will ref this match, and four people can accept the challenge, determining the following
Now this is really important, you MUST be active in this match. If you go over the DQ time once, I will VM you to post actions soon or face DQ. If you go over DQ twice, the other players can decide whether to VM or DQ you. If you do it three times, you will be automatically disqualified, unless you have PM'd/VM'd me and the other competitors in advance. If you need, I can extend the DQ time.
Now then, who's ready to rumble?

Each round, a location on Earth will be chosen and a battlefield will be created based on the location. For instance:
As for the location itself, it will rotate between each of the seven continents in the following order.

2nd: South America

Yume Nikki
Field Type: Depends on the battlefield (see below)
Complexity: Ridiculously Intense
Restrictions: Depends on the battlefield (see below)
Description: The pokemon fight within the dreams of a little girl who may or may not be severely messed up. Who knows what could happen...
At the end of each round, unless using an effect dictates otherwise, the ref will RNG d4. Depending on what is rolled, the corresponding event happens:
1. Nothing happens - Continue the battle as normal.
2. Change battlefield - Change the arena See Battlefields).
3. Effect - RNG one of the players. That player gains an effect (See Effects).
4. Arena Event - What happens depends on the arena the battle is currently in (See Battlefields).
Battlefields: If the RNG at the end of the round lands on a 2, the ref will RNG d5. Whatever number it lands on, the environment will turn into the corresponding arena:
1. The Nexus - A creepy black void full of aztec-like paintings and a circle of doors in the center. The nexus is essentially ASB Arena. Go nuts! This is the arena at the start of the battle.
Field Type: Neutral
Restrictions: None
Arena Event: Strange eggs pop up in front of the pokemon. Both players gain an effect.
2. Snowfield - A vast field of snow, the occasional tree, and a few igloos. It is always hailing, and only the umbrella effect can override this. There's no water source, unless you have a fire move to melt some of the snow. Also, there's too much snow to take advantage of Grass Knot.
Field Type: Ice
Restrictions: Always hailing (only umbrella effect can change the weather), no water source initially, no Grass Knot
Arena Event: Brrr! All pokemon in play (except ice and fire types) are frozen.
3. Corpse Road - A rainy, forested highway with a dead body in the center, hit by a car, most likely. It is always raining, and only the yukionna effect can override this. Puddles are everywhere, making moves like surf viable.
Field Type: Ghost
Restrictions: Always raining (only yukionna effect can change the weather)
Arena Event: Your pokemon swears it sees that corpse twitching...for next six actions, all pokemon in play suffer -2 to their attack and special attack stats.
4. Pastel Lake - An island in a strangely pink body of water and balloons floating in the sky. If the pokemon is not holding an item, it can grab onto one and gain the benefits of an air balloon - however, it will only work in this arena. There's also an odd house that's home to a girl with a ponytail...and a horrifying abomination, too...
Field Type: Water
Restrictions: Pokemon gains air balloon if not already holding an item (disappears at end of battle/switching of arena)
Arena Event: It's Uboa! And he's scared the crap out of your pokemon! For the next six actions, each pokemon in play that is not a ghost-type has a 50% chance of being unable to attack.
5. White Desert - A vast, desolate realm where the sky is black and everything else is stark white. There's no water or plants; just Monoko, a bizarre girl with limbs sticking out of every part of her body...
Field Type: Ground
Restrictions: No water source, No Grass Knot
Arena Event: Monoko starts spinning around recklessly, crashing into your pokemon. All pokemon in play suffer a fixed, typeless 15 damage.
Effects: Occasionally, the RNG may bestow a player with an effect. In which case, the ref will RNG d100 to determine just which effect that is. Some effects are passive and take effect automatically; others allow for a single use, but can only be used within the next three actions. Usable effects take up a single action, does not cost any energy, and have a priority of -9. Moreover, non-damaging effects can be used even while taunted. Only one team member at a time can use an effect, so if you get one in a doubles or triples battle, you will have to choose which pokemon gets it. The effects are as follows:
1-10: Bicycle (Passive) - The pokemon rides a bicycle, and gains +1 priority to all its attacks for the next six actions.
11-20: Lamp (Passive) - The pokemon's head turns into a lamp, illuminating any and all weak spots. All of the pokemon's attacks will bypass any type immunities or abilities that would negate damage for the next six actions. Any other effects of said abilities, however, will still take effect (e.g. using a fire attack on a pokemon with flash fire would do damage, but still boost the power of his fire moves).
21-30: Nopperabou (Passive) - The pokemon's face disappears, and gains the ghost type and all its benefits (essentially, this could lead to having three types) for the next six actions. If the pokemon is already ghost-type, it gains +2 to its attack and special attack instead.
31-40: Frog (Passive) - The pokemon's head turns into that of a frog, and gains the water type and all its benefits (essentially, this could lead to having three types) for the next six actions. If the pokemon is already water-type, it gains +2 to its defense and special defense instead.
41-50: Yukionna (Usable) - The pokemon turns into the snow woman and summons a hailstorm that lasts for 6 actions, even in the corpse road.
51-60: Umbrella (Usable) - The pokemon sports an umbrella and summons rain that lasts for 6 actions, even in the snowfield.
61-70: Demon (Usable) - The pokemon turns into a red-skinned demon and uses the attack Thunderbolt. If it's raining, the pokemon will use Thunder instead, with a 30% chance of bypassing protect/detect. Either way, this attack costs no energy.
71-80: Hat and Scarf (Usable) - The pokemon dons a winter hat and scarf and uses the attack Ice Beam. If it's hailing, the pokemon will use Blizzard instead, with a 30% chance of bypassing protect/detect. Either way, this attack costs no energy.
81-90: Stoplight (Usable) - The pokemon turns into a stoplight, cures both itself and its target of taunt, and renders a single opponent unable to use damaging moves or taunt for the rest of the round. The user cannot use such attacks either in that same timeframe. Moreover, If the current arena is the white desert when this is used, The RNG will be skipped at the end of the round, and the arena event will be triggered.
91-99: Medamaude (Usable) - The pokemon's head turns into a hand with an eye in the palm and does a fixed, typeless 15 damage to a single opponent that bypasses protect/detect/substitutes. Moreover, at the end of the round Medamaude is used, the RNG will be skipped and the arena will change to the Nexus. If the current arena is already the Nexus, the RNG continues as normal..
100: Knife (Usable) - The pokemon stabs a single opponent with a kitchen knife, bypassing any means of avoidance and resulting in an automatic KO - no ifs, ands or buts. A player may not use this effect in a 1v1 singles match, a match where his opponent has only one pokemon left, or if he's already used it earlier in the battle. If the ref RNGs a knife in any of these cases, s/he will reroll.
