Hey Remiel! 

There's spot on the lower slopes of Mt. Pyre that's perfect for a fast, rocky battle. Follow the Western walking trails around the mountain until you reach the northern rest spot. The one with the binoculars. Set off the orange flare and I'll come find you.
It's a bit of a hike from there, so bring some shoes with good grip!

    Zac stood on a high ledge crowded by shrubbery. Behind him, the steep slope of the mountain rose high into the sky, crisscrossed by hiking trails worn into the dark rock. In front of him was the star of the arena:  dozens of tall basalt pillars that rose from the ground like ancient teeth. Carved by some long-gone watercourse, the pillars formed a set of thin stands, perfect for climbing, hiding, and weaponizing.
    The smell of burning incense wafted down from the upper reaches of the mountain graveyard, adding a somber tone to the battlefield.
    Zac watched as Mismagius and Magnezone floated between the basalt pillars, waiting for the flare.    



BIOME BADGE: ROLLING MECHANICS

You have 2 ACTIONS per post: Damage, Status, Buff, Dodge, Heal, and Switch Out.

You do not need to roll to Dodge, Buff, or Switch Out.

When a Pokémon has been successfully Damaged by an attack 3 TIMES, they will be UNABLE TO CONTINUE. Switching a Pokemon out does not reset this total.

Dodge includes using defense or evasion moves to weaken/endure an attack, or otherwise rendering it ineffective.

Buff and Status will give you +10 to your next consecutive roll or your opponent -10 to rolls on their next turn.

If you attempt a Damage or Status attack, PLEASE ROLL.
*You cannot make two Damage attacks on your first turn.

1-9: Your attack can be dodged as a free action. Your opponent can still use both their full actions afterwards.
10-49: Your attack can be dodged as a single action. Your opponent can still use one action afterwards.
50-89: Your attack can only be dodged as a full-round action (using both actions). Otherwise, it hits.
90-100: Your attack automatically succeeds and cannot be dodged or weakened.

If you attempt to Heal, please roll on this table instead.

1-9: The heal is interrupted or fails.
10-49: You heal 1, but lose one action next turn (or choose to fail)
50-89: You heal 1 successfully.
90-100: You heal 2.

SPECIAL RULES

LAST STAND: When your last Pokemon reaches 2 out of 3 hits, you immediately gain an extra action (for a total of 3 per post.) You cannot use this action to make three Damage attacks. If you Heal, this extra action goes away.

RE-ROLL BONUS: A player can voluntarily choose to take or extend a Status ailment on themselves for one or more turns during RP. A player who does this will gain one re-roll to use any time during the battle (does not stack.)

They'd followed the coordinates.[break][break]

Remiel found the orange flare tucked away in a hard case box. It had been set upon a wooden railing beside the binoculars. Certainly not difficult to spot. He proceeded to take it out as the Aerodactyl he'd rode on poke its head into some nearby shrubbery for food. His Lucario, in the meantime, stood close beside him and observed her master's actions.[break][break]

Wearing a pair of comfortable black pants, a short-sleeved v-neck, laced hiking boots, and a jacket tied around his waist, the royal had come prepared for the terrain and the climate. Though he'd grown up on stone-paved streets and within castle walls, he'd always felt a calling towards mountainous regions, and he'd experienced many. Though Mt. Pyre was, admittedly, a new breed of mountain for him.[break][break]

Many of its winding routes he knew well, though he'd never exactly cared to go off the beaten path. Particularly to avoid the rivers of lava that sometimes surprised and cut-off hikers in this region. Regardless, he raised the flare gun to the sky and pulled the trigger.[break][break]

Bwoosh!
[break][break]

Astrid the Lucario watched as the fluctuating orange light soared towards the stratosphere above. Othniel the Aerodactyl, in the meantime, pulled his head out of the shrubbery and sharply turned to regard the startling noise. The prehistoric beast released a shrill warning growl as it crawled over to place itself beside its master as well. Its eyes remained vigilant.[break][break]

    Zac saw the flare, and headed over to greet the challenger. "Hey there Remiel, great to meet ya!" he said, sticking out a hand to shake with the appropriately dressed challenger. "You're from Galar, yeah? How's the weather treating you this time of year? It's a bit cooler up in the mountains." They continued chatting as Zac lead them back to the ledge with the best view of the battlegrounds. The basalt pillars seemed to catch and hold the sunlight, remaining a matte gray. "Here we are! These pillars great for agility training, if you're into that sort of thing. Personally I just enjoy this place for the view."
    Mourning bells chimed from up on the mountain, and Zac's Mismagius materialized in the shadow of one of the pillars. It floated between the fingers of basalt, a splotch of deep purple among the mix of grays.  "Ready to go then?" Zac asked Remiel. 

    As Remiel gave the okay the scent of incense drifting down from the mountain thickened. The air grew hazy as the cloying smoke rolled in. It flowed across the battlefield, obscuring the bottom halves of the basalt pillars, and hiding Mismagius in shifting banks of OMINOUS WIND.
    There was a sharp crack as one of the pillars snapped, shattered as it was struck by an invisible blow. Black shards of basalt tumbled from the column, but instead of following gravity's path they shot up into the air, leaving trails of scented smoke as they streaking across the battlefield towards Aerodactyl.
