[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Here's the rules! 3 Pokemon apiece; you can choose them as you see each of my Pokemon. I'll be starting with Delibird! Held items are fine. You can use one Potion during the battle if you have one, and I'll be doing the same if I feel it will keep my Pokemon safer or give me a chance. I'm not a fan of using them just to draw out a lost battle. You can switch Pokemon at any time as many times as you like. Any questions about that, or shall we begin?"

This all happens in a room with a huge skating rink. There are two or three boulders, one much higher than the others, with sandy spots surrounding them. The formal battlefield is drawn out on the ice; Pokemon are expected to try to stay within these lines for the safety of the assembled trainers.

There are stands for spectators, and Nurses nearby, and hot chocolate served with icy cool peppermint floating in it.

"I think I've got it.  Let's get started, then."  Nathan takes his place at one end of the arena, while Zamboni stands at the other.

'This ice might make it tricky for fast moving pokemon to zip around.  Gonna have to be careful about that...those sandy spots might just do the trick, though...'

"Alright, since you're starting with Delibird, I'll start with a pokemon you're familiar with already too.  Come on out, Swiftfire!"

As Swiftfire enters the arena, she slips a little.  She's not used to trying to walk on terrain as slippery as this, what with Trillium being at the base of an active Volcano.  "Try and stick to the sandy spots, Swiftfire!  It'll help!"  She makes her way over to one, almost falling once or twice.  'Hopefully she gets the hang of this quickly...'  Nathan looks over at Zamboni.  "Alright, ready when you are!"

"Alright, Swiftifre, start things off by hitting Delibird with a Flame Charge!  Do it carefully, though!"
