Let's get it fired up!

Arena: Flareon Training Grounds

Long ago, Cinnabar Island was a technological mecca, a hub for the brightest minds of a generation. But a volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything there was, or ever will be. There isn’t anything here anymore, in “The Ravaged Town of the Past”…

But is there?

Finally, you reach the topmost layer of Cinnabar Island. Flashes of red dart past the corner of your eye. You turn, but see nothing. The once-charred ground stares resolutely back at you, covered by a hair of swaying grass. Another flash. Turn again, but this time, the emptiness seems to be watching you. The sun is shining brightly, but through a thin veil of steam, which the sun evaporated from the surrounding ocean. A drop of your sweat falls, caught by an outstretched blade of grass that lowers it gently to the ground. The ground here is hard, very hard. What kinds of vegetation are these?

A flash, a turn, a howl, and then you flinch. But then, in the distance, you see the rough, chalked outline of the arena. Determined, you walk to it, and release your Pokemon. The sun shines mercilessly, the steam chokes, and you have a mission to fulfil.


Welcome to the Flareon Training Grounds. After the eruption of the volcano, an elite society of Flareons have cultivated the land. Here, they practice skills that are not privy to the knowledge of the outside world. Flare blitzes right and left, the Flareon here are practically legends in their own right. Thankfully, it is not them who you will be fighting today, but Gym Leader orcinus, who grew up in Canada and hates the weather here as much as you. He’s befriended the Flareons here, and it is here that he learns from the skills of these skilled fighters to beat challengers like you.

There are some special rules here, so pay attention. Spread moves, for fear of invoking the wrath of the nearby Flareons, may not be used in their full capacity, as a safety rule set by orcinus. Instead, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Surf and the like must be focused and directed only at one Pokemon. However, while orcinus wants to obey safety rules, he does not want to disrupt the spirit of the game. And so, spread moves can still hit Pokemon that are using evasive actions, and can wipe out all of the clones of one Pokemon.

The arena is in a stage of permanent sun and steam, which is from the nearby water. This acts as sun in every respect (including the including the BAP reduction of water-typed moves, since the sun evaporates much of the water and steam doesn’t actually hurt), but one—it heals dry skin Pokemon instead of harming then.

There is no natural water source on the Arena. You are too far from the surrounding ocean to use that water.

Orcinus' Fire Mons are intensely familiar with the environment, and thus are able to navigate everything with ease--rocks included. As such, all of orcinus' mons have an increases resistance to Stealth Rocks.

Finally, orcinus gets a fan and a cooler. You do not.

Summary: Attacking moves that affect more than one opponent must be targeted at one opponent. However, they can still hit Pokemon that are using evasive actions, and can wipe out clones from Double Team.
Permanent Sun/Steam is in effect, acting like Sun in every respect except healing Pokemon with the ability dry skin. This can only be changed by weather rock holders.
No natural water source.
Stealth Rocks reduced effectiveness against Leader's mons (-4 damage)

Let's see if my "Randomly pick actions that sounded like good ideas at the time" strategy will work again.
