Ref is needed.
This is a 5-5 match with us using whatever Pokemon we want. The Arena - sorry - The Board is going to have an adverse affect on who recieves and who takes damage.
The Monopoly Board
We travel around a board for the duration of the match. Two rounds per square (with exceptions). This is how it works.
Old Kent Road - A basic, run down house. It is only one storey and has a small cluttered garden. A washing machine, without being plugged into a socket, is wandering around the house mercilessly. It can deal damage to foes with a steel type attack for 6%, or unleash an attack similar to bubblebeam for 8% damage. It has 15% life. There is mouldy food around which, when eaten will restore 5% and poison or confuse the foe.
The Angel Islington - A two-storey house which is slightly larger than the brown ones. It has a large cellar but overall it is still quite shabby. The garden is spacious, but there are a number of Rattata and a few Raticate living in the garden. Because of nearby traffic congestion, there is a very thin smog outside.
Northumberland Avenue - This house is two storeys high, still slightly larger and much nicer inside. However there is a Burglar currently lurking inside. If found, he will engage with the two battlers in a 2-2, and they must work together to defeat his two random Pokemon. If caught in a battle with the Burglar, then the time on this square will extend to five rounds
Vine Street - This square is actually an alleyway. It is thin and narrow, leading to a full scale brawl due to the spacial area. If too much noise is used, the nearby Police will arrest both Pokemon and throw them in Jail
Trafalgar Square - In the middle of the Square, you can see Nelsons column. Many birds are nesting atop his hat and they may attack the foes at any point. The thick pollution caused 2% each turn to the combatants.
Picadilly - This bustling metropolis is a perfect place for a battle. There are many onlookers and tourists, so expect items to be thrown on the arena during the battle, or even bottles or cans which could deal damage. If attacks work particularly well, they may get an encore. The sun is blazing.
Oxford Street - As we take a tour around London, this battle takes place on a large tour bus with no seats; perfect for a brawl. Too many attacks may cause the bus to topple over, arriving at any location on the Board.
Mayfair - This square is lucious. A humongous mansion with gigantic, carpet-clad staircases and chandeliers. There is a library, a pool room, a kitchen, dining room....almost any room you can think of. Outside, there is a hedge Maze, and the foes can expect to fend off a lot of Pokemon that lurk inside. This square lasts 3 turns

Other places:
[i]The Waterworks[i] - A humongous swimming pool for the Pokemon to duke it out in and around. We are inside a massive warehouse-style building.
Electric Company - Inside and around this generator, many Magnemite and Magneton wish to disrupt the battle. Electric attacks deal double damage here. Steel attacks are halved.
Jail - Randomly, across any square, the Police may disrupt the battle and send both Pokemon to jail. Here they must stay for 2 turns, and can only use two attacks per round.
Train Station: If we arrive here (it is random), the person who attacked second the previous round can decide which square we go to.
Community Chest: If we land here, the randomiser decides who opens the chest. One of the following can happen:
1: you recover 3, 4 or 5%
2: your opponent recovers 3, 4 or 5%
3: You recieve a random status condition (Poison, Burn, Paralysis)
4: Your foe is healed of a status condition if they have one.
Chance: If we land here, the randomiser decides who opens the Chance Envelope. You can either:
1: Put a foe on Probation (they can only use two attacks per round for 3 turns)
2: Put yourself on Probation and recieve 2% per round until probation wears off.
3: Heal 8% to both Pokemon
This is done at random.
Ok so heres how it works. We go to each place in turn in that order. At the end of every 2nd round a randomiser decides if we see a Train Station or any of the other squares on the way to the next place. After we go to Jail we continue from the Board we left off on.
Once we get to Mayfair we start on Old Kent Road again.
I think thats settled......I'm starting out with my Magmar, Prox. He is Male.
Refs
I need a creative ref for this match; someone with expirience and someone who can really bring this alive. There's 8 points in it and it will be a lot of fun!
Ok TBA, send out!
