*crashes in* WHEE!! Guess what I'VE been watching... ¬_¬
Arena: The Firefly
The battle take place in the silent world of space and both opponents start on the surface of the Firefly class ship, Serenity. Trainers are provided with space suits, and Pokemon with an indestructible, blue-tinged bubble of oxygen about their heads at all times.
While they are in contact with the ship’s surface, gravity holds, but as soon as they leave the surface, whether to jump in the air, or to dodge an attack, gravity takes a vacation and the Pokemon may go floating off into space. Luckily, there are handy space-Pokemon who will fetch back any Pokemon who does find himself flying away, bringing it back down to the surface with a penalty of 5(%) health lost through pure terror at the freefalling and lack of gravity.
Every sixth turn, the referee rolls a dice to determine whether Serenity is on the run from the Alliance, with a 30% chance of this being true. If this happens, all participants must use a full turn to hold on for dear life, lest they be lost in the depths of space. During this lost turn, however, each Pokemon regains 20(%) energy, as a result of sitting still and performing no moves.
The top of the Serenity is an uneven place, looking like
this. Pokemon can move about the top of the ship at will, and even down the sides if they please, because of the built-in surface gravity field.
Rules.
*As space is a singularly noiseless place, no sound-based attacks will work.
*The same goes for weather moves, as there is obviously no weather in space.
*If a Pokemon loses contact with the surface of Serenity, they will be automatically transported back by one of the referee’s Pokemon, and lose 5(%) health.
*Each Pokemon may only use Double Team once, and instead of its normal lasting time, it will only last one turn, as the clones have no gravity to stop them floating off into space.
*Toxic may not be used, and any powder-based moves have a higher likelihood of failure (70%) due to it being easier for them to disperse.
*Also, Serenity may not be damaged in any way, as this would injure the crew inside.
The Serenity Badge
This badge is only small, but very dense; and as such, feels very heavy in the hand. It's a clear, dark blue-tinged circle with what appear to be stars wheeling inside, if you peer very closely. The Serenity Badge is said to contain a piece of space itself, but this is mostly written off as legend, since everyone knows it's impossible to contain space anywhere, right?
