Arena: A Court of Law
The combatants do battle in a court of law to decide the fate of the defendant. This court is wide, accommodating most Pokémon. However, it is inside, so weather moves are ineffective, as are dirt- and body-of-water-based moves. However, ground-shaking moves will work, but at the same time, they'll cause the power to go out. The two lawyers in the room - one of whom is dressed in blue, wearing a red tie, and with spiky hair, the other wears a mauve suit with a cravat and neatly combed dark hair that hangs on either side of his face - will occasionally throw "OBJECTION!"s at each other, causing sound-based damage to one of the fighters if the judge sustains the objection. Also, straying too close to the lawyers or the judge will cause one of the lawyers to break out a "HOLD IT!", which freezes the Pokémon in place for an action. Finally, if one of the Pokémon incurs Damage Caps on the other, one of the lawyers will yell "TAKE THAT!", which restores a minimal amount of energy to the attacking Pokémon.
Round Five: Begin!
Judge Phoenixsong finally loses it and chucks her gavel at the jury seats; she misses the unruly jurors but manages to clock a bailiff and drop him to the floor. The Blaziken in the powdered wig grumpily returns her attention to the battle, grumbling things that sound like “be more careful about who gets jury summons” and “need to work on my aim”. Ridley the shiny Charmander and Slinky the not-shiny Spoink are very, very tired but still steel themselves for another three exchanges of attacks. They receive their orders from Ace64 and TheBlueAvenger and spring (albeit slowly) into action.
Ridley half expects his opponent’s pearl to begin glowing again, but it does not—Slinky begins to bounce up and down and back and forth, squealing and pulling faces in a thoroughly obnoxious manner. C’mon, lizard boy, come and get me! Let’s see what you’ve got, iguana face! Slinky seems to say. Arrgh… will the Taunts and torments from this spunky little pig never cease?! Ridley is still tired and agitated, but realizes that he needs to keep a cool head in order to pull out of this, and so before he hears too much of the Spoink’s mocking chatter he tucks his little body into a ball, the Defense Curl shielding his ears. Slinky pouts as she realizes that Ridley can no longer hear her; the Charmander, meanwhile, rubs at his eyes, trying to clear his vision before his next attack.
Now Ridley gets what he was expecting as Slinky’s pearl begins to glow and sparkle again. She shuts her eyes and focuses before letting loose a wide-ranging barrage of psychic energy. The pulses of the Psywave resonate through the room, not unlike sound waves would, and the people gathered in the courtroom feel the effects; Judge Phoenixsong rubs her forehead as she tries to alleviate a sudden, slight headache. Ridley cannot see the ripples of energy, but he does his best to avoid them as they bounce around; he shoots forward with a shrill battlecry and blasts past Slinky, tearing her side with his claws. He skids to a stop after the Aerial Ace, panting from the exertion required to pull off the super-speedy attack.
Slinky is tired and can barely stand—er, bounce—but she still does her best to muster her last energy reserves. She compresses her spring-tail and, with a wild yell of desperation, rockets forward to slam her weight into the shiny Charmander’s body. Mystical forces, fueling Slinky’s Secret Power, shock Ridley with their arcane energy as the piglet makes contact with him and paralyze him. Ridley cries out in frustration; he’s sick of being held back by all of this negative status. Still, he can move just enough to Crunch down on Slinky’s side, and at point-blank range the attack neither misses nor loses any of its potency. The prosecutor, still smoldering slightly, shouts “OBJECTION! Your Honor, the defense has already been told that Crunch is an illegal move for Charmander!” Before the judge can reply, however, the defense lawyer throws his attaché case at his adversary. “Oh, shut up already, you idiot! That’s not true! Ridley, please continue.” The prosecutor sits down hard and tenderly feels the black eye that resulted from the amazing flying briefcase, Judge Phoenixsong threatens to hold the defense in contempt of court and Ridley chomps down with relish. Now that was more like it.
The courtroom battle is down to the wire, with both Ridley and Slinky barely hanging on to consciousness. Slinky sways dangerously back and forth and the courtroom in front of her begins to swim in and out of focus; Ridley is not faring too much better, and his muscles are stiff from paralysis as well. The jury oohs and aahs and gasps, and several are on the edges of their seats and gnawing their fingernails. Judge Phoenixsong is loudly berating the defense attorney, who is only half listening; he’s enjoying the prosecutor’s attaché-induced black eye far too much to care at the moment. TBA and Ace64 are faced with a tough decision now. Their young Pokémon are exhausted beyond belief but still seem to be ready to fight until the end; what should the two trainers do next?

More fun if it's a surprise.
