Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
It's been a long time since I did something of importance. While I'm looking for a partner to help save the world, I shall in the meantime begin to prove myself as someone worthy of saving it. And what better place than the league.
I might as well go ahead and queue a challenge against Ground Leader Its_A_Random with my now apparent winning streak. Also jeez I really hope Maxim accepts my challenge soon

I might need a few days to send in teams if this somehow gets picked up soon. It's sadly been a while since I've made a prize claim and I should probably do that before facing anyone else.
I'll go ahead and sign on to ref Dogfish44 and ZhengTann once Dogfish44 sees fit to accept it. Because while doubles may be a bit of a pain what better way to scout a gym than to ref it.

Arena: The Sonata Theatre v. 1.1
Arena: The Sonata Theatre Field Type: Normal (Remember the Normal Type STAB Effect) Complexity: Intense Format: Any
Deep in the reaches of Castelia City in the Unova region, is a small corner where the Normal Gym of CAP ASB resides. At least, that's what you were told, but after exploring the city from end to end you have found nothing. You were warned that this gym was particularly difficult to find, but you didn't expect it to be this hard. Frustrated, you decide to stop in for a drink at some random coffee shop to refuel and review the directions you were given. After just a bit more walking, you find a place called the Cafe Sonata, and walk in for a drink. After ordering one, you sit in a corner of the cafe and bring out your map.
While you are reviewing the map, a man walks over and says "Say, you wouldn't happen to be looking for the ASB Gym around here would you?" You nod, and he chuckles a bit "Yeah, a lot of people get themselves lost on the way there, but I can show you where it is if you like." You swiftly take up his generous offer, and the man guides down several streets, until you finally reach a place called The Sonata Theatre. Raising your eyebrow a bit, you explain that you're looking for the gym, to which the man responds with "Yeah, it's here all right, I find it baffling that he set up shop here of all places, but hey, what can you do?" The two of you walk in, and you immediately notice a small poster noting a schedlue. What particularly strikes your interest are the events labeled "Baron Maximus's Gym", to which your guide explains "Yeah, that's the gym leader all right, he puts up a rather interesting performance every week with his gym matches. I'm sure you'll see soon enough."
Your guide directs you into the back of the theatre, explaining that you're one of the challengers for the gym here. In the back, you find a lot of up and coming thespians, stagehands, and other such people getting ready for something. Soon after you enter, a man in a blue longcoat approaches you.
"Ah, Hello, I trust you've found this place without too many issues?"
You shake your head, to which the man responds.
"Ah blast it, how many times do I have to tell the League to put down better directions to this place? Regardless, you're here now, and not a moment too soon. Here in the Sonata Theatre, we like to put on large stage productions from time to time for the gym matches. You may participate if you wish, but if you do not want to, then please stay silent for the benefit of the audience (or at least just give generic responses)."
"A few things about the arena before we get started. First, you'll be able to pick from a wide selection of props from our costume department. This may sound silly, but it does change your type effectiveness a little bit. There's a list of rules regarding it, but as long as you don't try to abuse the prop to give you an advantage, you should be fine. Second, Whirlwind and similar moves aren't quite as effective here. For that matter, don't charge the arena with electricity, it messes up all the lights. Those lights prevent Ghost types from phasing in and out so quickly. Finally, just do not try to knock off your opponent's item, we can't have costumes coming off after all!"
"And with that, let the show begin!"
Effects in Detail:
The Characters Always come Prepared!:
1. Every Pokemon sent out on the field may, if they choose to do so, equip a prop. The props in this arena have a strange effect on Pokemon, and allow them to choose a resistance to gain, but also forces them to choose a new weakness.
A prop ticks a resistance/weakness either one tier up/down, and it must create or intensify a weakness. For instance, a Pokemon that equips a fire resistant prop will have it's weakness shift from 2x to 1x, while it could also intensify his water weakness from 2x to 4x, but would not be able to drop his steel resistance from 1/4x to 1/2x. Props cannot put a weakness past 4x, or a resistance past 1/4x. Any moves that change the user's typing are considered disabled while they wear a prop. That all said, props cannot affect the Normal Typing or Immunities.
The prop itself will be equipped in addition to the current held item the Pokemon has, and can be anything the trainer can think of, so long as it's in good taste. Do note that this is not compulsory, and the trainer can choose to not equip a prop.
Check out these rulings to make sure you use your Prop effectively if you decide to use one. An Illegal prop does nothing.
Rulings:
a. Props do not count as items for the purposes of Fling, Unburden, etc.
b. If an ability interacts with a certain typing (such as Lightningrod) then the Pokemon's weakness/resistance is assumed to be changed according to that ability. (For instance, a Pokemon with Motor Drive would be assumed to have an immunity to electric attacks, while a Pokemon with Thick Fat would be treated as though it had a resistance to Ice and Fire.)
c. Pokemon that can change their typing via abilities (Such as Castform, Kecleon, etc) cannot equip props.
d. If a Pokemon's type is changed by factors such as Mega Evolution or their ability being drained, then the prop is only illegal while those conditions persist.
The Show Must Go On:
2. Because it would be rude to knock off an actor's disguise during a performance, moves, abilities, etc that prohibit, knock off, destroy, or change the position of an item are not allowed. Moves that solely mess with items in this way simply fail, while moves that also do damage will deal damage but fail to affect the item. In the case of Knock Off, it has 10 BP against targets wearing a main item, and 7 BP against those that do not.
The Script Must Be Followed:
3. If a Pokemon is forced out by a Switch-Forcing Move or a Red Card, that Pokemon's trainer can choose which Pokemon goes in next. (i.e. If the Leader's Snorlax uses Whirlwind on the Challenger's Lucario, the Challenger can choose whether to send in Slowking or Pyroak next)
A Day in the Limelight:
4. The bright lights and pyrotechnics on the stage make it difficult for Ghost type Pokemon to phase out of existence to avoid attacks. Ghost type Pokemon are always vulnerable to Normal and Fighting type attacks. However, said moves lose 2 Base Power unless the Pokemon also has Scrappy. For the purposes of props, Ghost types can equip Fighting type resistant props, despite normally being immune to them.
An Even Playing Field:
5. All Moves used by either Pokemon will always have their mechanical typing (the one listed in their description in the DAT). Effectively, moves such as Ion Deluge and Electrify have NO effect in this arena. Abilities such as Pixilate are unaffected by this, and work as normal. Also, due to the way props work, moves that change the opponent's typing, such as Soak, do not work here.
Tl:Dr Version
1. You may choose a prop to change your resistances/weaknesses by one each.
2. Items cannot be prevented from having their effect.
3. Switch Forcing moves and Red Cards allow the affected trainer to choose which Pokemon comes out, as opposed to it being random.
4. Ghost types are no longer immune to Normal or Fighting Moves. Said moves have a -2 Base Power unless the Pokemon also has Scrappy.
5. Ion Deluge, Electrify, and other such moves do absolutely nothing. Soak, Forest's Curse, etc also do nothing.

"I am the beginning of a new journey. Everything starts from here, with my Pokemon". That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?

Following the instructions of the Gym League people, you rent a Gogoat and enter a strange forest.
"Search for the Sound of Music", the instructions said.
"Fair Enough."
Still, you heard that the Fire Gym was an easy target, so you move on. Somewhere in the trail, you feel...weird, as if you were not there anymore...or as if "there" wasn't there anymore.
"Maybe my pocket stomach is hungry"
You speak loudly to yourself before dismissing the feeling entirely.
You and your rented Gogoat continue to move forward, following the trail. You can find footprints of many species...and yet you don't recognize any of them. Also, the woods seem to...shine? Despite being really late, there are enough sources of light around, allowing you to see your way quite clearly.
"...You know, I could get enough UC to max a clefable just by selling the fairies here."
You think. Well, aren't you naive?
After a good hour, the trail divides into two. Before falling to despair, you manage to hear a faint sound. A song of sorts. Well...strap me a bow and call me Snubbull, music in the woods. You decide to follow it and in no time you find...
GAAAAHHH!!!
You yell, after seeing the such an odd kid. Needless to say, your Gogoat flee before you could say "what the fuck".
"Heheh, Are you looking for someone, big guy?" - The kid asks.
"Fire Gym Leader."
"I don't know any 'Fire Gym Leader', Tee Hee Heee! But if you want some fire, there is this guy here who has been wandering around for quite some time. He was with a strange Fox with Nine Tails and a Flaming big Pig. Maybe he is the one you are looking for? If so just follow the music." - The kid says.
After thanking the kid you follow the music, running as fast as you can for some time when suddenly...
THUD
"Ouch! That hurts! You should pay attention!"
"No."
"Wait, what? Apologize!"
"No."
"...not into long phrases?"
"Time is money. Know any Fire Gym Leader?"
"Yeah! Me! I am Frosty, Fire Gym Leader, owner of the Bonfire Badge, at your service"
"...really? Anyway, take me to your leader gym"
"Well...here is the thing. I heard that there is some kind of abandoned temple here from where this music is supposed to come, so I thought I might as well open my gym there, since I like music and why not? But I can't seem to find it haha. So we will battle here! Just don't disturb the fairies and spirits of the woods and you will be fine trust me you won't want to disturb them. Also...erm...can we battle while running? I don't think staying put here is the best idea *gulp*"
You take a good while to check your surroundings and you notice the following aspects of the Woods:
- There is a water pond, grass source, some rocks and you can see the sky. And the sun is starting to raise and shine amid the treetops. Every move can be used here, with the sole exception of Fissure, as that will probably disturb the woods, and that would be bad. Also, you don't think you will manage to summon Hail or Sandstorm without the respective stones;
- Dense Woods means that spread moves (Surf, Hyper Voice, Lava Plume, Heat Wave, Blizzard, Rock Slide etc etc etc) won't....spread that easily. Also, the sturdy roots weaken the power of EQ, Bulldoze and Magnitude. Spread moves will have the damage dealt multiplied by 0.5 instead of just the bap by 0.75 when used in doubles+;
- No move or ability or item, with the sole exception of Fake Out, can Flinch. All pokemons are already scared enough at the Woods, they won't pay attention at trickery for the most part.
- You are in the middle of a forest, so Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with other "terrains".
- The battle occurs in movement, as both you and the dumb gym leader are trying to escape the dangerous woods. Because of that, hazards (Sticky Web, Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes) have no effect and moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, Magic Room, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, Sandstorm, Water sport, Mud sport have their duration lowered by 1 round/3 actions as they won't be able to keep up with you for that long.
- Fairies are everywhere and can be summoned at will by any pokemon for assistance. Every pokemon can use the move "dazzling gleam".
- Finally, the free spirits like being...well...free, and won't let any one take that from them. Because of that the ability "Air Lock" is negated by the wicked magic that is around. Be happy that you didn't turn into a pig.
"You are quite the observer, haha. It seems that you are ready, so let's begin this. En Garde!"
Summary
- All moves, except for Fissure, can be used. Hail and Sand can't be summoned without the respective stones.
- Instead of using the 0.75 BAP multiplier, the entire damage dealt by a spread move is multiplied by 0.5. So the formula is: ((BAP [Ignore standard spread modifier] *Screens + stuff - stuff)*Weakness/Resistance+Stat Stage Differences+Type-Specific-Item)*0.5 = Damage
- No flinches (except for fake out)
- Hazards are useless and other field effects's duration is lowered by 1 round/3 actions
- Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with others if needs be
- Every pokemon can use Dazzling Gleam.
- Air Lock has no effect.
"...you sure have a lot of maxed mons and badges for someone so new at this. *gulp*"

Type: Dark Complexity: Moderate Format: All
Description: TBD
Due to their innate sneakiness, all Dark-type Pokémon are now immune to the effects of full trapping moves and the abilities Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, and Shadow Tag. Dark-type Pokemon can also now switch out while affected by a partial trapping move (ex. Whirlpool) but will still be damaged by their effect. This ability only affects Pokemon that are naturally Dark-type and is retained even if the Pokemon changes type.
The battle takes place at night. Moonlight always heals its maximum HP value, even if the sky is obscured.
Skill Swap is now blocked by Substitute.
The ability Rivalry has no effect, but cannot be Skill Swapped.
Pokemon may not be forcibly switched out; they may only be switched out by their trainer.
The Base Attack Power of Psychic, Ghost, and Poison-type moves is increased by 2.
The Gym leader may bring Gyarados, but Gyarados is always Mega Evolved and and must hold the Gyaradosite.
