Brandon entered the dojo, bowing to the master and taking off his shoes as requested. This time it was Seedstrike who followed him into the dojo, as Brandon had decided it was time for someone else to get a turn. Flamestrike had gotten to watch the past battles with him, so he let Seedstrike enjoy a match for a change. Before long, the two opponents entered, both ASB veterans. On one side was DarkSlay, and Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle as Seedstrike growled at the trainer who had commanded his swift demise in Brandon’s first battle. Clearly he hadn’t forgotten it. On the other side was Seven Deadly Sins, who Brandon recognized from the last battle he reffed. As the trainers made their preparations, Brandon went over the rules of the battle.

Seedstrike nudged Brandon, and he looked up to see the trainers waiting for him. “Oh, you guys are ready! Well you guys are vets so I’m sure you know how this works. DarkSlay will send out his Pokemon, SDS sends his out and tells them what to do, DarkSlay gives his orders then I figure out what happened and update you guys, then we’ll go from there. Good luck guys!” After finishing, he noticed Seedstrike glaring at DarkSlay. “I guess you’re cheering for SDS, huh? We’ll see how things go…”
DarkSlay, you’re up!

He also took the time to look around the dojo, noting that using Dig and Earthquake would be impossible.All abilities, No items, switch = KO.
Finally, Brandon decided to check whether DarkSlay would be using the same Pokemon he had used against him. While he was at it, he decided there was no real reason not to check SDS’s Pokemon as well.Arena:
Traditional Japanese Dojo
This dojo has been around for centuries, but remains in peak condition. The floor is made of soft mats, with a hardboard flooring underneath. It is a four walled, closed area. On the edges of the dojo are shallow pools of water originally used for decoration. The pools provide water, but are too shallow to dive in. The walls are covered in beautiful ivy. Since the floor is primarily cushion and hard wood, it is impossible to dig through it or find a sustainable area to cause quakes with. Evidently, a magical seal has been placed upon the dojo, preventing all types of weather from disrupting the peace and honor of the dojo.
Summary of Restrictions: No diving under water, no weather, no Dig/Earthquake.
