Here's a new one for you ASBattlers: an airship battle. Two battlers with three pokemon each will battle one another using two of Arcadia's most famed airships: the Delphinus and the Draco. Each ship will have 300 HP, and the object of the battle is not to knock out your opponent's pokemon, but their airship. Aiming for the pokemon is pointless, since they have infinite health (but not infinite energy -- energy KOs will apply in this case).

There's a catch, however -- both ships have 15 SP -- SP can be used to fire cannons located on each airship. During your attack, you can order one of your pokemon (in lue of attacking directly) to use a cannon to attack your opponent's ship. Using a cannon won't cost any energy, but will instead use SP. The cannons are as follows:

Light Cannon - 2 SP
Deals mediocre damage (15 - 25 HP per hit).

Medium Cannon - 3 SP
Deals satisfactory damage (25 - 35 HP per hit).

Heavy Cannon - 4 SP
Deals heavy damage (35 - 50 HP per hit).

Moonstone Cannon/Draco Cannon - 5 SP
The main cannons of each ship. Deals massive damage (50 - 80 HP per hit).

SP cannot be recovered by any means, so use it wisely. In lue of attacking, pokemon can also take direct control of the airship for maneuvering. Attacks from the opposing side will be less likely to hit in this scenario. The Moonstone and Draco Cannons require all three pokemon to use it at the same time, otherwise it fails. Also, each time it's used, it takes three full turns before they can be used again.

Now who's ready to battle?
