[Sophia and Olivia]

Two small pokemon were on the arena floor. One of them, dressed like a princess, was a buneary sitting and meditating in the center, one ear flopped down over her head lazily while the other remained perked up. The other, a Riolu, had on a colorful yet freeing pink dress and was making a show of hopping between a couple of stone pillars, playing her own little game of the floor is lava. She had a strange black metal staff with golden bands along it's length. She ocassionally pressed it into the pillar, or landed on top of it after falling to stop herself from touching the ground.

Who let these baby pokemon out of their pokeballs?!

"Hey, do you think martial artists come here?" Sophia the Riolu asked. "That or warlords." Olivia the Buneary replied. "...No killing people. I don't want to ruin our reputation right off the bat." she added very dryly. Sophia paused, perched atop her rod by a single finger, with her feet up in the air. She rolled her eyes. "...Sure, you say that now. But if some monster comes along and gobbles you up, you're going to be begging for me open them up for you." Sophia replied. Olivia just sighs and goes back to meditating.

[Lady Platinum Berlitz]

While it was not a warlord, a noble girl and fanciest of the Dawns stepped into the arena with a martial artist bunny of her own though more fully grown. A Pokemon of myths and formerly legends rode atop her hat, Shaymin. The Gratitude Pokemon hopped down and glanced around with Platinum... Huh, they did not seem to have a trainer but were well dressed and even had a weapon- Wild Pokemon were already kind of rare inside the Life Sphere let alone appearing like that... And they could speak her tongue? Even Shaymin and Uxie used Telepathy to get past that wall.

"I am a tournament champ here, you know. Let's see if you can keep up with me," Shaymin remarked to the minds of all as she was already ready. She did have a... hat to prove it apparently from what she told Platinum. "I'm Lady and Shaymin, Loppuny and I will accept your challenge,"  Platinum introduced herself... a bit misleadingly. Loppuny got into a battle ready stance to show she was prepared to. "I won't go easy just because you're smaller you know. With your confidence that seems an insult. Care to show me your strength?" The Lopunny spoke in Pokemon. She apparently heard that whole discussion. Good hearing was kind of her thing. And punching too-

[Sophia and Olivia]

The two chatting pokemon's ears perked up as Shaymin spoke to them. Sophia turned to face them, her gaze settling down at Shaymin. "Champion? Of here??" she replied, her eyes lighting up with joy as she got down and readied her staff. "Cool! I'm Sophia and I'm gonna mash you like a potato!" she announced enthusiastically, flashing a toothy grin. She takes a fighting stance without hesitation, overflowing with confidence.

Olivia on the other hand glances up from her meditation and immediately recoils a little in fright as she spots a lopunny taking a fighting stance at her. There's fear in her eyes. "...Wh-Why aren't you wearing cl-clothes???" she softly asked in disbelief. "...You could be my mom, you know." she remarks in a sore tone. It seemed like she looked at Lopunny and saw a superior version of herself, or perhaps a lost mother that made her reluctant to fight. Either way, it clearly weakened her resolve. "...I'll make sure not to kill your mom!" Sophia chimes in from nearby while gesturing at Lopunny, drawing an annoyed glance at Olivia. She just assumes... Ugh.

Olivia proceeds to get up and turns to Lopunny before bowing deeply. "My name is Olivia. I'm a traveling monk and martial artist. You honor me, but I am still just a kid... That being said, if you really want me to show you what I've learned, I'll... do my best." she explained, before standing back up straight and striking a practiced fighting stance. A moment later, she rushed Lopunny and leapt into the air, attempting to land on her at full force!

Meanwhile, Sophia dashed at Shaymin with a devilish battlelust in her eyes, freeing one hand from her pole and reaching out to strike Shaymin on the snout with an open palm! The moment her palm touched, a shockwave of aura burst from it.

She then gripped her compliant rod with both hands and moved back in to begin jabbing at Shaymin with its tip several times quickly! "Hey Lady, what do you do? Are you a fighter too?" Sophia asked without breaking eye contact with Shaymin.

"Sure am, I'm more than some vegetable. I am Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokemon so we'll love to see you try~" Shaymin retorted. Confident one... Platinum decided not to point out the actual proper champion was someone else now-

"Clothes? Well, um..." Lopunny was caught off guard by that as she glanced to her trainer. She... was not sure what to say. This was bringing a lot of questions. "Where I'm from this is the natural attire. I'm not used to seeing a Buneary in a full dress..." She admitted after a moment. She got why that would seem awkward but she was not sure what to do.

"Ah, I see well, if I hold back I guess wouldn't be a good elder so I'm eager to see how you do," she attempted to brush off the confusion.

She braced herself as the bounce met it mark. Skidding back a bit. "Hey, thought you were as agile as a rabbit-woah!" Shaymin began to mock her ally in jest before realizing she was about to get palmed extra hard. She grew a barrier of plants around her instantly to shield herself but they ended up obliterated by the attack. She felt back a bit in recoil as the first strike slammed into her. She seemed to catch her ground however as she jumped side to side to avoid the bones.

She glowed a jade color with the final dodge and smirked. "Heh, not bad, kid. However going to take more than that! Sky!" she declared as the light consumed herself and she changed shape. Evolution?! At this time of day, during this match in this Stadium?! No, something different, forme change.

(Shaymin transformed into Sky Form! +2 to all mods except DEX which is +4)

After transforming the Pokemon swiftly ran up into the sky and glowed even brighter. "Now, Solar Flare!" the now boyish voice declared as it fired a blast of light across the battlefield. (It's called Dazzling Gleam!) A voice only Sky could hear from Land protested. "Eh, Solar Flare sounds cooler," he remarked as he descended... who was he talking to?

p_1d20+6(Dazzling Gleam, attacks both Olivia and Sophie, targets CON, 26 damage)

Meanwhile Lopunny would dodge side to side before aiming for a solid blow to the side of Olivia's head in an attempt to disorient her.

Platinum watched as... they seemed fine right now. Not sure instructing Lopunny right now was right and... well she was still processing the clothes thing- Then Sophia questioned her. "Oh, no, I can't fight like them. I'm more..." Trainer might sound weird to these independent Pokemon... "A Sensei or coach, I help them form strategies and learn new moves and give advice during battle. I provide them my knowledge and companionship and they lend me their strength," Platinum tried to explain.

Olivia pauses to admire Lopunny, but only because she wants to be one someday. So tall, with big strong legs... She was so jealous she was whiting out! ...No wait that's Shaymin's doing.

p_1d20-1 (Olivia's dazzling gleam resistance fails)

p_1d20+0 (Sophia's dazzling gleam resistance fails)

Olivia and Sophia both wind up crying out and covering their eyes.

p_1d20+1 (Olivia fails to dodge a dizzy punch)

Which is just enough time for Olivia to get punched in the face. She squeaks nosily as she is knocked off balance, stumbling back like a spinda in confusion. For a brief moment her guard was broken, but then she readied her ears, curling them over to protect her face from another blow like that.

"Neat trick! You're pretty fast." Sophia compliments, freeing a hand from her rod and gesturing at Shaymin. She then utters a single syllable of power,

p_1d20+1 (Sophia's critical stop! It works like a non-ice themed frozen status)

Suddenly all of Shaymin's muscles would uncontrollably tense up as the ki giving them strength was disrupted and flooded, preventing her from moving at all and paralyzing her in place. Thankfully she had landed, or she would've probably uncontrollably dropped from the sky too. Sophia then dashed over and stood in front of Shaymin so that Shaymin could see her. "...You are the tiniest pony I've ever seen. Can't even ride you. Unless you can do that again and become even bigger!" she softly complains while visibly rehearsing an overhead strike to Shaymin's skull she was planning to do. One hard hit behind the eye ought to break that skull wide open... Oh right, she wasn't supposed to kill. Man why did everything have to be so complicated?

Sophia grabs Shaymin by the throat and carefully positions her so that she's between Sophia and Lopunny. "That should be wearing off right about... now." she softly said, narrowing her eyes. The moment she said that she drove her free paw deep into Shaymin's gut and a shockwave of aura poured out of it, launching her directly at Lopunny!

p_1d20+2 (Critical Force Palm at both Shaymin and Lopunny. It does 20 damage and has a 20% chance of paralyzing)
p_1d20+2 (Crit confirm for 20 more damage and 100% paralysis. I don't think Shaymin can resist, but Lopunny still can.)

"...Biggest monster of the group doesn't do any of the fighting, huh? Weird. But funny." Sophia remarks to Platinum, who can observe Sophia's compliant rod levitate off the ground and return to her on it's own. At least she seemed to respect that and wasn't going after her.

Olivia meanwhile stumbled off balance toward Lopunny to try and show her her own dizzy punch, however she has to stumble back when Shaymin nearly clips her for being so close. Olivia gives Sophia a sore look and Sophia waves at her fondly in response.

Deciding not to attack Lopuinny while she (might?) be down, Olivia instead takes a moment to meditate and recenter herself, which looks a lot like praying, waiting for her mind-melted status to pass in the meantime.

(Olivia is using Cosmic Power! It works like the metal status except she's not actually metal)
