Interested in this, I am... And I've already an idea, but it involves Ash... But I might be able to work it out. Or something else... But anyways, I'm glad to see that the contests are continuing...

PS: You can have this whole army war thing going on, as long as your writing is focus on the two generals. Don’t make it like there’s too many things going on though, it can get a little bit confusing.
Aimi: Good luck, mate. Have fun. ^^
Arcanine Royale: Involving Ash? He brings a lot of good stuff when it comes to battling in the anime doesn’t he? Good luck to you.

Yes you can. You can have street-weapons-allowed type of battle or something like retreiving an item type of battle.

This is bumped for a reason. A good reason too... it's to remind each and every one of the participants that you have over a month to send in your masterpiece. Remember, the deadline is on October 1st 2007.
To tell you something, it's been over a month since the contest opened and no one sent them in yet. Perhaps another example could help you out. ^_^

It was some time after drying up the Cerulean City Gym and restoring Chan and Gyarados’s health at the pokemon centre. Alice and Misty were getting ready for their pokemon battle. Both trainers stood at each end of the swimming pool where Black Jack and Misty battled while Black Jack stood between them acting as the referee for this match while holding his bottle of beer. A number of floating boards were placed on the surface. All six of Black Jack’s pokemon were watching the match as spectators, along with Daisy, Marril and Psyduck.
Like Misty’s last match, she and Alice agreed to use one pokemon each and that they would toss release them at the same time. “Alright, girls, y’know the rules,” Black Jack said firmly before downing another swig of his drink. “Except this one – break any of them and your pokemon will be next. Now, choose your pokemon and release them.”
Despite Black Jack’s family love for his niece and respect for his associate, he had no tolerance for those who cheat.
Both trainers looked absolutely focused as they picked one of their pokeballs of their belts without looking. They then tossed them out while calling them out. Alice released her Sneasel, Glacia, a black weasel with claws disguised as white paws and a small yellow symbol on her forehead while Misty released her Corsola, a pink and white rock pokemon that had stubby horns in various places of her body. Upon being released, Little Sis landed on one of the floating boards while Corsola splashed into the pool.
“A Sneasel,” Misty said noticeably. “I faced a pokemon like that before.”
“Not this one,” Alice replied. “And you’ll find out why and be surprised. Right, Glacia?”
“Sneasel!” Glacia cried as she got into her battling stance while standing on one of the floating boards.
“Well, you ought to be surprised yourself. Corsola’s really special,” Misty said.
“Corsola! Corsola!” Corsola cried happily as she jumped up and down numerous times on the surface.
“Hey! Enough girl talk!” Black Jack said in a serious tone as he held his hand up. “BEGIN!” he yelled as he waved his hand down, signalling for the battle to start.
“Corsola! Spike Cannon!” Misty yelled immediately.
Corsola yelled her name in obedience as she glowed vigorously while shooting numerous energy spikes out of her horns towards her opponent.
“Glacia! Dodge them!” Alice instructed.
Glacia dodged each spike that Corsola shot out by leaping from one board to another. “Glacia! Icicle Spears!”
“Icicle Spears?” Misty said in surprise.
“[She’s got the right to be surprised],” Black Jack thought to himself. “[Normally, only one pokemon can use that move, Cloyster. But Sneasel has her style of attacking with her bunch of ice picks].”
Glacia quickly leapt up high into the air and formed some icicle spikes from her paws before throwing them out directly towards Corsola who quickly jumped of the way upon Misty’s command splashing into another part of the pool.
“Okay now, Corsola! Bubblebeam!” Misty yelled.
Corsola sprayed a number of bubbles out of her mouth in a formation of a beam, hitting the opposition when she was attempting to land on another board, knocking her into the pool.
Like Chan, Glacia was able to quickly swim to the surface of the pool and climbed up onto the floating boards. Her eyes narrowed as she turned towards Alice and she gave a small nod in response. The sneaky Sneasel turned back towards her opponent and beckoned her to attack.
“Corsola! Tackle attack!” Misty instructed.
The pink rock pokemon leapt towards Glacia, attempting to slam her body onto hers but missed as she leapt up high into the air. “Glacia! Double Team!” Alice yelled.
Her pokemon glowed energetically as three of her copies leapt out of her body. She and her illusions landed on separate boards, surrounding her opponent while attempting to confuse her. “Go ahead, Misty,” Alice said with a small smirk on her face. “Pick a Sneasel.”
Misty blinked several times wondering why Alice is giving her a chance. “Why the stalling, Misty?” Alice asked smugly. “I’m giving you a chance. Only 25% that you’ll get the real one; it’s not like you’re facing several of them.”
Misty’s eyes narrowed, suspicious of what Sneasel and Alice were planning. She was also suspicious if she got this tactic from Black Jack. “Corsola!” she yelled. “Tackle the one on your right!”
Corsola leapt from the board she was standing on, attempting to slam her body onto, what she had hoped, the real Sneasel.
It was the wrong one as the real Sneasel leapt from her board and slammed her High Jump Kick attack on Corsola’s back, sending her flying while causing great damage.
“Okay, Glacia!” Alice yelled, now seeing her chance when the Sneasel landed on another one of the boards while her illusion disappeared. “While she’s in midair, slam her into that wall and use your icicle spears!”
The Sneasel leapt and grabbed Corsola in midair, continuing to dive down until she slammed her into the wall, almost crushing her like a truck. Glacia skipped back a metre while Corsola slowly got up to her feet after taking a great amount of damage. Glacia glowed a light blue energy while she maliciously looked at her opponent as she formed more icicle daggers from her paws.
“[This is going to get rough for Misty],” Black Jack thought to himself as he observed the match.
After Corsola fully stood up on all fours of her feet, Glacia threw several of her daggers at her like a madman throwing ninja stars, spiking her and causing her to scream in pain while Misty looked on in horror.
As Black Jack and Alice looked on, the attack reminded them of Glacia’s dark side of her personality when it came to battles, equivalent to Black Jack’s strategy.
The pokemon spectators watched on with shocked and horrid looks in their eyes while Black Jack’s pokemon had their eyes narrowed.
“(She’s acting up again),” Ferligatr growled.
“(What are you talking about)?” Gyarados growled.
“(She’s always like that when it comes to battles. Even with Alice’s training, she still fights like that. Knowing from experience, there are some things you can’t change).”
After taking a great deal of damage, Corsola now had several sharp ends of each dagger stuck inside different parts of her body as she stood weakly on her own four feet. “[She’s still has a chance],” Misty thought as the energy around Glacia started fading away.
“Glacia! Finish her off with your Aerial Ace!” Alice yelled, having a strong feeling that she would win the match after this attack as Sneasel leapt into the air, attempting to use her claws to slash her opponent’s face.
“Corsola! Water Gun!” Misty yelled.
It was a desperate attempt as Corsola shot out a small water fountain out of her mouth, splashing it into Glacia’s eyes. “[That’s the move she needed to hit],” Black Jack said.
As Glacia stumbled away from her weakened opponent while rubbing her eyes, Misty took her chance. “Corsola! Shake off those daggers and then use recover!” Misty ordered.
Corsola quickly shook off the icy spikes off her body, revealing small dents on her body while glowing vigorously. After the glowing vanished, the bruises and the dents were no longer apparent.
Apart from the recovery power that Corsola had, Alice noticed that Corsola had great endurance meaning she and Glacia would have to give more damage to the opposition. Glacia knew that as well after she wiped the water out of eyes and saw her opponent completely healed. She smiled, knowing that she would have to inflict more pain onto her... and enjoy doing that.
Upon Alice’s command, Glacia leapt back onto one of the floating boards. They waited for them to attack as the sneaky Sneasel beckoned them to. “Corsola!” Misty yelled. “Spike Cannon!”
Corsola glowed vigorously as she shot out a number of spikes out of her horns. “Glacia! Dodge it!” Alice instructed.
Glacia dodged the attack as she leapt from one floating board to another. “Okay, Glacia!” Alice yelled as she saw Corsola landed on one of the floating boards. “Slash attack!”
With one paw behind her back, Glacia did as she was instructed as she leapt up high into the air and then dived down towards her opponent with the speed of a shot out bullet, aiming her claws towards her but missed as Corsola dodged and leapt into another board, making her slash the board in half and splashing into the water.
Despite that and without Alice’s instruction, Glacia took her paw from behind her back that now held a newly formed ice dagger and threw it at Corsola who was still in the air. “Corsola! Look out!” Msity warned.
It was too late for Corsola as the ice dagger struck her by one of her feet, making her lose balance and fall face first on one of the boards. Alice had a shock look in her eyes, not knowing that her Sneasel was going to do that. Her battling pokemon turned towards her and tapped her claws on the side of her own head, signalling that she pulled off a smart move.
“We’ll talk about that later, Glacia,” Alice said, getting back to being focused. “Finish her off with your icicle spear!”
Glacia once again formed a strange blue energy around her while ice dagger slowly formulated in her paws while Corsola was shaking away her dizziness while getting to her feet.
Wasting little time, Glacia quickly threw a great number of ice daggers at her opponent. “Corsola! Use your Mirror Coat!” Misty yelled desperately attempting to snap her pokemon back.
She succeeded as Corsola glowed a multicoloured energy around her pink body, bouncing her ice daggers back towards Glacia. “Glacia! Dive into the pool!” Alice yelled.
Everyone present for this match had shock looks in their eyes and with a good reason. Glacia looked back towards her trainer with a worried look on her face because she was standing in front of her. With no time to strategise at this moment, the Sneasel attempted to deflect and every one of the spikes that was coming towards her, much to the shock of her trainer.
She managed to deflect each and every one of them but missed the last as it penetrated into Sneasel right arm, making her scream in pain. “Sneasel!” Alice yelled in horror. She knew that if Glacia dived into the pool, she would’ve gotten hurt instead, yet she didn’t Glacia to get hurt that way.
Out of tiredness and pain, the Sneasel fell on one knee she held onto the dagger that was pierced into her arm. She looked at Corsola and saw how tired she was after using her power to deflect her strong ice attack.
Glacia looked back at Alice and showed off a small smirk. “Okay…” Alice said. “Glacia! Double Team!”
Sneasel glowed vigorously as three copies of her appeared on separate boards, confusing Misty and Corsola. “Last chance. Time to pick a sneasel again, Misty,” Alice said.
“This is indeed our last chance,” Misty said. “Both of our pokemon are tired out and if I pick the right one, I’ll win this battle. I could get Corsola to use recover but Glacia would attack while she does. Right, Corsola?”
“La!” Corsola cried, agreeing with her trainer.
“Pretty smart. I wish you good luck,” Alice said. “Like before, you only have 25% of hitting the real one.”
Misty and Corsola looked at each Sneasel, real and fake, to see if there were any faults in any of them. Even after trying to sense which one was the real one, they couldn’t find one. Therefore, they had to rely on luck.
“Corsola! Hydro Pump now!” Misty yelled at she pointed at one of the Sneasels. “Attack the one in front of you!”
Corsola breathed in a lot of air and shot out her final attack, hoping that it’ll hit the real Glacia. It turned out to be a fake as the real Glacia leapt from the board that was floating behind Corsola.
“Glacia! High Jump Kick!” Alice yelled.
“Corsola! About face now!” Misty yelled.
Corsola, still shooting her powerful water attack, turned towards Glacia. Glacia countered by quickly throwing another ice dagger straight into her opponent’s mouth, blocking the attack, much to Misty’s shock.
Glacia took her chance to slam her kick onto Corsola face, sending her flying as the dagger fell out of her mouth making her uncontrollably spray the large fountain of water, flying around the room until her back hit the wall and then to the ground.
Black Jack ran towards Corsola and looked down on her for inspection. Corsola was no longer moving due to unconsciousness.
“Corsola is unable to… hold on a second, I’m thirsty,” Black Jack said before drinking down a gulp of beer. “A ref would raise a flag cos this Corsola’s KO’d,” he continued. “And the winner is Alice and Glacia.”
“Glacia! You did it!” Alice yelled as she dived into the pool, still with her clothes on, and swam towards the exhausted Glacia, who was floating on the surface of the pool. When Alice reached her, she gave her a big hug and Glacia returned it.
Misty had an amazed look on her face. “She did a great job,” she said noticeably. “Black Jack taught her well.”
Like Misty’s last match, she and Alice agreed to use one pokemon each and that they would toss release them at the same time. “Alright, girls, y’know the rules,” Black Jack said firmly before downing another swig of his drink. “Except this one – break any of them and your pokemon will be next.

Sweeeet. What a great way to get back into writing stories than actually writing a battle one-shot. You can sooo count me in. ^^ Now to think of how to do this battle. I have my setting so I just need to figure out a good way to put it in. ^^

How unorthodox are we allowed to make the battles? I have an idea I'd love to write up for the contest, but I'm not sure if it would fit the guidelines 100%. Basically, I have an idea to write out a battle between a Pokémorph (of the anthropomorphic kind, not the shapeshifting sort) vs. a regular pokémon and exploring the situation. Is this okay, or does it stray too far from the definition of a "pokémon battle?"

Bay: Yeah, she was. Did you check out that other example in thread page 2? Being busy with the other stuff, understandable but you ought to drink some coffee and listen to some loud music while writing your entry at night. Keeps you awake but watch out for those spelling errors.
Demon-gamer: No, you are not allowed to send in multiple entries. If you do so, you will be asked to pick one of your one-shots to enter.
Jirachiman876: I hope you do a great job writing your entry, mate.
Pink Parka Girl: Well, I did mention having pokemon with mechanical parts as parts of their body. Are you asking if we can have characters that are half pokemon and half human? Please explain more on that, what your battlers are capable of. I’ll ask the other judges if they will allow it.

Yeah, that's what I'm asking. ^^' I decided to throw the idea out there because of the whole "modified pokemon" thing in the first post - pokémorphs do, in a way, fit that statement
I'll come up with a different idea if it's not okay, though.The pokémorph character I'd use is certainly more like a modified pokémon than a human when it comes to battle (and most things in general). She's smarter than a pokémon, and would be able to rationalize and plan her moves better than the ordinary creature, but her humanesque body would be clumiser at executing moves (the battle would be nothing but claws, teeth, and raw elemental power, so the pokémorph wouldn't be bringing in any human weapons). The pokémon, with a much more optimal body design and without much in the way of sapience getting in the way, would be less likely to hold back, more nimble, somewhat more resistant to attack and with a better innate understanding of how its body works in the battle situation. I'm mostly known as a writer who features Pokémorphs as a common motif in their stories, but battle involving them is something I haven't ever done before and would be eager to try - and also to compare and contrast the differences between what I'd imagine their technique to be like verses an ordinary, normal pokémon hard-wired for the intensity of battle. ^^

I, for one, see no reason why a battle involving a Pokémorph should not be allowed. ^^
Meh, I wouldn't worry about it. ^^ I know that if I were participating, I sure wouldn't want to rush my entry. Some participants might prefer to make use of all the time they can get in order to make sure that their entry is the best that it can be.

Hmmm. Very interesting indeed.
*shrugs* Might as well participate in something. >.>;
I have a few concerns, however. Does the battle have to be over a certain amount of characters or suitable for the Pokemon battling? That isn't my greatest concern; it revolves around the actual events be placed in the short story / one-shot. Will it be judge solely on the battle itself? I actually have a concept with this story, and I'm just wondering if it will be judged as a story with the battle or you guys are just going to be judging the battles. Also, what if the story consists of more than one battle? For my entry, the main battle doesn't start until the sixth or seventh page of the story, but there will a small battle against a wild Pokemon. ^^;

I cannot speak to the number of characters part of your post, as I'm not the one making those rules decisions. However, about this:
I'm not sure what the rules are regarding multiple battles within one submission; I can't see why that would be a real problem, if only one of the battles is a "major" one and you don't end up with some huge novel as a result. Though, in the specific case that you described here, I'd just recommend that you consider the length restriction. If the major battle is not going to start until page seven-ish and it's a fairly major major battle and you plan to include some resolution afterward, you could easily be pushing twenty or so pages, which I think might be inadvisable.
I will judge each piece individually based on what is submitted, and nothing more. It is perfectly reasonable to expect someone to submit just a battle scene, or a piece consisting of almost entirely a battle scene (your typical "final League battle," for example), and in that case more or less all I would be judging would be the battle. If the battle is integrated into a larger story, such as a one-shot or part of a larger fiction or something, then I would of course take all non-battle elements into consideration as well, although I would pay special attention to the battle(s) in my scoring and commentary. In short, if you're submitting nothing but a battle with little to no context, it had better work as a standalone (not that I can, err, really think of a way that it wouldn't), and if you're submitting a battle scene integrated into a larger work, you had better make sure that the battle isn't the only strong point of the submission.

Concerning the pokemorph thing, it has been decided. It is allowed.
Sike:
Malyntrix: Er... right, carry that word to another... carry the T... okay, I got it! ^^ Like I said before, for trainers you can have up to four trainers in a battle, carrying six pokemon each. If it’s a wild pokemon, you can have up to four groups, consisting of six battlers. You can write a story in it, as long as your one-shot focuses more on your battle scene in it and we will be judging that also. Also, each one-shot can only have one battle scene (hence the title called ‘battle scene one-shot contest).
Another thing, Saffire Persian asked me this question from another website:
Lastly, I've updated the rules for the contest. You can only write one battle scene per story (new rule, number 15).

True... I’m just worried that it’ll take us ages to finish all those possible entries should they choose they choose write them long.

Okay, I completely understand now. I was hoping that if the short story had more than just a battle in it (instead of being a standalone) that it would be judged based on other things as well and not based simply on the battle. But, referring to what Brian just answered, will any writer be automatically disqualified if there is more than one battle existing in their entry? The wild battle doesn't really count for my story particularly, but with the events happening, it makes sense as to why it happened. >.>

I got an idea. Although I wrote ‘Battle Scene’ in the title of the thread, which means to have ONE battle scene in your one-shot. Now, to avoid, I’m allowing you guys to write battle scenes that can relate to the plot and other reasons why the main battle occurred.
For this, I’ll give you more details concerning the rule about the number of battle scenes you put in. When you send in your entry, along with your username and the title of your one-shot send in which or ‘main’ battle scene you want us to judge.

Now you see me...
Why not just judge the battle scenes as a whole, while taking the story as well into account? It isn't a single paragraph (or page) that makes the story, after all, but the whole.
Anyways, rather glad the deadline is still some ways away, given how busy I am. Anyway, another question: do you have problems with us using a beta reader to comb out errors and such?
