Battle of the A's
===Stipulations===
Match up - 8 v 8, one on one
Arena - Supreme dust bowl. Spanning as far as the eye can see, the supreme dust bowl is comprised of loose sand. Water is non existent, and the sun shines down brightly (permanent sunny day effect). This can not be changed. The loose sand will hold the weight of even the bulkiest of Groudon's. However, moves that require movement of earth will function differently here (This is up to the ref).
Banned moves - None. However, the 'Sub' is banned for this match, save for SIMPLE level subs ('If [Status] then X' is ok, as is singular uses of the 'mirror coat/snatch' sub)
Abilities - On. However, as mentioned above, abilities that affect the weather do not function. Also, abilities that would be detrimental in this weather DO still work.
Special - As there is no water here, any pokemon that logically require water to survive can not function here. However, anyone creative enough to figure out ways to do so can try (Flooding a crater in the sand with water will only last for a few rounds before the water seeps down in to the mud).

===Round 1===
Whoa. Why am I being directed to MLG's old battle arena.
Ay: It's not his old arena...because this one allows water. Besides, his was lame anyway. It was just a desert. How unimaginative was that? Anyway, you ready to ref?
Born ready. Who are you battling?
Ash: Me! Me and Munch! Let's get it on!
And with that, a Munchlax charging toward us starts this match. Not to mention how the hell Ash beat us here is just..yeah. No more thinking on my part. Ayeun counters with a Munchlax of her own, and this one releases a deep set of flames. They surge forth and strike all over the incoming beast who holds her own. Despite the heat, Munch seems ok with it, blasting out a Solarbeam that topples Ms. Snore for the moment.
Ms. S: -8E/-13H ~~~ Mu: -10E/-6H
As Ms Snore recovers, the other Munchlax hunkers down in this massive dusty area and seemingly takes a nap. But you're not evolved yet, you can't do that all willy nilly! Ms Snore tries for a wake up 1-2 combo, but all she hits is forcibly hardened air! It gives her fist a nice snug muffle, and Munch laughs.
Ms. S: -6E ~~~ Mu: -7E
Eternally grateful for the shielding, Munch lets it fall while the doppleganger is busy recovering. Before she can even focus, Ms. Snore is punched twice by Munch in earnest. Munch tries to hightail it, but the problem with outrunning fire is that...you gotta be FAST?
Munch unfortunately, is not fast. But the heat does not leave a burn so it's not all bad.
Ms. S: -10E/-12H ~~~ Mu: -6E/-8H
