Arena: Solitude

Solitude is a mountain on the east side of Johto, that very few know of. Its peak sticks through the clouds, high above the rest of the surrounding area. The top has been flattened roughly, making a reasonable circular platform but leaving several bumps. A few stone pillars stick up along the edge. So high up, the winds change direction very quickly, and their howl assaults the ears at all times. The weather can also change without notice.

Because of the extreme winds, Pokemon can be sped up by the current or held back, even knocked out of the air from time to time randomly. The sound of the wind makes it very hard to use sound-based attacks.

Each round, the weather may change to either blazing sun, fog, or rain. This is random also.

Another thing... Falling down the side of the mountain causes 20% damage. The Pokemon is teleported back up instantly.

...If nobody has any problems with the arena, then... Go, my newly-renamed Dragonite, Spiran!

Dragonite M
Nickname: Spiran
Signature Move: Larger Than Life
Spiran concentrates energy and forms an image around its own body. This image is a representation of his own draconic spirit, and as thus will appear to be a gigantic dragon. Faced with a true dragon, no mortal creature can be as brave, and the opponent will be extremely unsettled. Thanks to this, it will be reluctant to attack the image, especially if it is small. Also, it will be extremely reluctant to go near the image, and there is a chance it will even get further away. Unlike a Double Team clone, Spiran is constantly holding up this image, and it cannot be disintegrated by attacks. However, when it is attacked, more strain is placed on Spiran. An exceptionally strong attack, or a strong attack that catches Spiran by surprise, can end the attack. While this attack lasts, it takes every third attack to continue, so basically he only gets two attacks every round. This attack lasts two rounds and can only be used once per battle.
