In the name of keeping myself in competitive trim, I hereby issue an open challenge. The rules shall be as follows:
- 3 Pokemon to a side, one at a time.
- DQ time: one week.
- Banned moves: No direct healing, no Attract, no Taunt, no Toxic.
- No single move may be used more than once in an attack order. For example, you cannot order "Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt, Tackle".

Since repairs are finally complete, we will do battle in Castle Paradox... namely, the Eastern Study.

Location: Castle Paradox, Eastern Study
Music: "Haven't You Eyes in Your Head", Guilty Gear XX

The study is immense, a giant room lined with oak and bookshelves. The books are a marvel, but mysterious energy fields protect them from damage regardless of what goes on. The master of Castle Paradox is quite serious about his bibliophilia. Near one of the bookshelves sits an immense desk, quite heavy and nigh-indestrucible. Anything thrown into it is going to get hurt. Across from the desk is a painting of a man with wild brown hair and a fancy purple suit, with small glasses and a pipe in his mouth; the eyes follow you everywhere.

This room is of nearly-infinite size, like many of the rooms in Castle Paradox, but it is impossible to get away from your opponent - unseen walls cut you off if you get more than one hundred feet away. Though there are no windows or skylights, weather effects still work - they cause the ceiling to take on the chosen characteristic. There is a 10% chance at the end of each round that the painting will glare at one of the active Pokemon; if it does, the target's statistics return to normal, undoing any buffs or penalties currently suffered.
And finally, I will open this battle with one of my most recent acquisitions. Go, Kelly, my Glameow! *He tosses the Pokeball up, and the cat curls at his feet.*

Anyone brave enough to enter the Castle?
