In ancient times, Pokemon Trainers had to be able to stand their ground without relying so greatly on their partners.
In honor of this ancient tradition, take up arms and fight in ritual battle!
...Well, sort of. We don't want anyone getting hurt, so we're letting the Trainers attack, but we're not letting anyone attack them.
Each Trainer can execute one move on any single step each round. No game effects, save for their own moves, can ever affect Trainers (their moves can still be affected, for example by weather or abilities like Sturdy). Treat all Pokemon's core stat ranks as 0 while a Trainer is acting (as though they were holding
Lucky Egg, without the +1 crit stage).
Orders should look as follows:
When sending in, choose a class for your Trainer from the options below. Each class learns several moves, obeying the normal battle level restrictions; they also have a Speed stat, which determines turn order as normal.
If people like the format, I'll add more classes.

Trainers' moves can be subbed for, and the normal substitution count is increased by 1 to allow for this. Substitutions can also alter a Trainer's moves, but this comes out of the same pool of substitutions (they don't get to write 5 separate subs for their one move per round.)Example said:Ursaluna: Facade ~ Facade ~ Facade
Trainer: S1 - Howl

Hardy Nature ( +None, -None )

Name Etymology:
From the word Noxious, referring to the poisonous gas that makes up most of Gastly's body.
Attitude and Motive:
Nox is incredibly cunning, preferring a more tactical approach rather than simply using brute force. He isn't beneath using underhanded tactics when push comes to shove, however.
History:
One of the first to approach this trainer, he saw a human to trick into subservience...However, he ended up becoming a member of the team. He's eagerly waiting to show his power once he improves.

Gladius (Aegislash)
Level 1 EXP: 0/10
Hardy Nature ( +None, -None )
Typing: Steel/Ghost
Abilities: Stance Change
Name Etymology:
From the word Gladius, a short-sword in ancient Rome.
Attitude and Motive:
Gladius is the more reserved ghost type of the team. He's usually the one to get Nox out of trouble. He's followed along as well to make sure the group doesn't get into too much of a situation.
History:
Nox seems to be friendly towards him, so it's assumed that Gladius and him have a history prior to being caught. Showing up in the middle of the night was quite the scare, though it wasn't his intention to frighten anyone.

History:
I obtained this pokemon out of nowhere. I'm not even sure it's mine? I just have it's pokeball. I'm still looking for it's proper trainer, because it acts REALLY weird sometimes. It's pretty much always looking for a fight! And when you have pokemon as rowdy or dangerous as
mine, things tend to escalate pretty quickly...
