Arena: A large, stone temple set in a huge square of land somewhere in the jungle. A river trails lazily around it, perfect for Water-types to have some fun. The four sides of the temple all have stairs that reach the top. However, some stairs are slippy from a recent rain and blocks can become dislodged after a hard hit. A room sits inside the temple and is big enough for two Steelixes to fight in and is accessible from all sides. The area around the temple is fairly clean except for random crumbling statues. Trees line the battleground and may drop a banana or a mango if hit hard enough which restores a little health and energy. Going into or behind the trees, however, is not possible. Every three rounds, the sky lets loose with a downpour which cannot be substituted with any other weather condition. After three rounds, the rain stops and the sun comes back out.

~Round 1 Start~
Somewhere deep within the heart of one of the jungles of the world, a large stone temple looms, majestic and awe-inspiring to all who see it. Everywhere, bits of foliage and leaves spring up, some even making their way up the temple’s hard walls. For eons the temple has been unused, the only remnant of a time once lost.
Somewhere on the immediate right, the trees tremble and sway as a body passes through it, accompanied by a rather small creature, snake yet bug-like in appearance. The DarkestLight looks around, eyes scanning the inside of the forgotten monument as he (or she) walks past the stream and into the temple. A Dunsparce trails at the heels of the trainer’s feet, looking about the large arena with a hesitant air.
Across from them, the other challenger waits. Seeing the trainer has finally arrived, she gestures her hand towards the arena, and a hefty not-quite-so-flying-bison Pokémon gallops into the arena, snorting.
Bull and snake stare each other down as their trainers hastily give their orders, and allow their Pokémon to take the reins.
Running quickly, the Tauros’ body seems to blur, and he splits into five identical Tauros images. Muddy does not seem wholly impressed by the spectacle, opening his mouth wide and yawning in supposed boredom. The Yawn emits a wispy, white vapor that flows towards Appa’s direction. The bull Pokémon yawns, his five copies mirroring his actions and movements exactly.
Blinking the coming sleep from his eyes, Appa charges, his bulky form building up speed as hooves clatter against hard stone.. His three whip-like tails begin to glow, taking on a silvery hue. Again, Muddy does not show the least bit of fear – in fact, he’s smirking with some dark knowledge that the bull cannot comprehend. Quickly whipping ‘round, the Tauros’ tails strike the Dunsparce’s flesh, but only for a moment before the hard force of the move comes crashing back at Appa, his hooves skidding across the flooring as he tries to slow himself. But his movements are oddly sluggish, and he stumbles, eyes drooping.
To his credit, Appa tries to keep awake, but his eyes feel as heavy as iron and he can do nothing to stop the impending waves of sleep. His clones are forced to mimic the Tuaros’ slumbering position as they wake for their creator to wake.
.
If the Dunsparce’s face could show a multitude of emotions, it would be cockiness now, and Muddy sure is cocky. He slowly crawls ‘cross hard rock and vine towards the five Tauros. Only the slightest hint of confusion dawns upon the land snake’s visage as it examines each figure. Not knowing which one is real, and which ones are phonies, Muddy attacks the one at the far left, only to go right through it, leaving Appa completely unharmed
